TTie Von Reichenau Mystery
It is difficult to dismiss the reported death of Field
Marshal Walter von Reichenau, as just one of those
things.
In the first place if the Field Marshal died of
normal causes why didn't the German High Com
mand tell the truth about it?
For certainly an apoplectic stroke, in a man of his
years and physical condition, would be most unusual.
WON Reichenau, prided himself on his physical fit-
ness and his athletic ability. In the campaign
against France, he swam the Somme, at the head of
his troops, to the great amazement and admiration
of one U. S. war correspondent who accompanied
him. Off duty he would box with his officers, and
take keen pleasure in landing a haymaker, thus send
ing some strapping chap, many years his junior, into
bye-bye land. The German pugilist Walter Neusel
was his intimate friend, and kept the Field Marshal
in almost constant training.
We can speak only as a rank layman, of course,
but our belief is strokes of apoplexy are seldom suf
fered by men who keep in A-l physical condition,
not the arteries, but the heart, usually go back on
them.
At any rate, a stroke is about the last ailment, that
under the known conditions, one would believe could
have caused the death of a comparatively young and
very fit individual, like Hitler's favorite Field Mar
shal. A NOTHER mystery. Of all his stars in the general
" staff firmament, the aristocratic Von Reichenau
was the most popular with Hitler for unlike most of
his fellow officers,' Jie was not only an out-and-out
Nazi zealot but he was one of the first of the old
school, to go over. to' the Black Shirt revolution. It is
not impossible of coarse, nothing in NAZI Germany
is, but it is highly' Improbable therefore that the
Field Marshal was done in, because of treachery or
disloyalty to the all-highest Reichsfuehrer.
' -'-
ELIMINATING thli factor, and also death from
natural causes, and the mystery deepens.
Somehow the explanation from London, that the
Field Marshal wai not popular with his subordinates,
and one of his owt.staff did him in, doesn't sound
convincing.
German General! of the bid school, never have
been disposed to cultivate popularity with their sub
ordinates, or enjoyinuch of a personal following,
it is against the Pncsian military tradition.
.What then?
AXELL we don't know, of course. But our guess is
" that had the Xasian winter campaign been a
success, instead of tragic failure, Field Marshal
von Reichenau rpld be alive and well and very
much on the joh aday.
Whether th ' .s.d Marshal killed himself, or some
one did the y Jot him, there is little doubt that the
Russian cfj" Mk and the German retreat, was re
sponsible ills tragic end.
r Carole Lombard
.'V-
Personility Is a rather baffling thing.
The skipper of this department only met Carole
Lombard once, and then in a most casual fashion, yet
her suddeTi and tragic death comes as a distinct
shock,-Ht if a real and old friend had suddenly been
taken.
The ctile, we think, was the first impression,
rather than the subsequent professional acquaintance,
derived Impersonally and solely via the silver screen,
the irtyvession made by a very vivid and unusual
personality.!
a
IT was on the Paramount lot in Hollywood and we
1 should guess at least eight or ten years ago. One
of the well known directors we believe it was Selz
nick had just returned from an extended trip, and
he greeted Misa Lombard in the studio-patio.
Or rather the young actress greeted him, flying
from her nearby dressing room and jumping into his
outstretched arms, while she planted a resounding
smack on both well-upholstered cheeks, and then
under the direction of the press department chief,
enthusiastically shook hands .with the assembled
group, and departed almost as quickly as she had
come.
THE press chief, Selznick (if it were he) and anoth
er studio official then joined in a chorus of praise
for Carole Lombard (who if we recall correctly, had
just become engaged to William Powell) using vari
ous and sundry affectionate superlatives, the precise
identity of which we can't recall. But there was no
doubt of their complete sincerity, nor of Miss Lom
bard's sincerity and genuineness either, in the arti
ficiality, sordidness and hokum of that make-believe
Babylon it was all decidedly refreshing.
And that refreshing quality that genuineness,
through all these years has remained. It was a mere
glimpse, but as far as one member of that touring
Carty is concerned, a lasting one, for there was some
ow no escaping the conviction it was the true one.
And this, let us add, was not due to any stage
struck susceptibilities prevailing, but solely to the
subtle somethinp; that is termed "Dersonalitv". and
i Miss Lombard possessed to
ana uniorgettable degree, and the precise potency
of which, as far as we know has never been explained.

A ND ever since that casual meeting the present
" writer has known or thought he did, which as
far as this comment goes, amounts to the same thing,
such an unusual poignant
that here was a very fine and unusual person, witli
an exceptionally wholesome, fresh-air quality about
her; a grand sort the sort who would stick to her
friends, till the cows came home, the whole-souled
sort who could never do a SMALL or a MEAN thing.

A ND as we have seen Miss Lombard in the movies
" from time to time since then, we have never felt
disposed to revise that estimate in the slightest. Just
one fleeting glimpse, no real knowledge of the true
facts at all, yet that clear and lasting impression has
remained.
And now Carole Lombard is dead, the victim of
another tragic passenger plane crash in "the grave
yard for transcontinental planes", because she in
sisted upon leading single-handed a war savings cam
paign "in the old home town", and regardless of the
dangers, giving pause to less gallant souls, insisted
upon "FLYING HOME I" .

THE 8CIENCE
Whenever the question of ab
sorption thru the skin comes
up here, and 01' Doc (Granite)
Brady reiterates that no one as
yet has proved
that anything
is or can be
absorbed thru
unbroken skin
(Granite, I
said, not Gran
ny), a consid
erable number
and variety of
readers go to
the trouble of
setting the Ol'
Hor riffht or
Vt. brady back by cltjng
more or less noted, eminent or
famous "authorities" who, it
seems, at one time or another
have stated or implied that all
sorts of medicines and poisons
are absorbed thru the unbroken
skin. But, Heck, boys, the
theories, beliefs or opinions of
doctors of the past or present
have no weight In a question
of science or fact I still main
tain there Is no scientific evi
dence that the unbroken skin
absorbs anything, and my own
skin Is still available for any
properly controlled test any
physician or physicians of stand
ing may care to makeprovided
both sides agree to publish the
result and accept it as final
proof one way or the other.
Incidentally, readers who know
better will please be advised my
flies are already overstuffed
with reports of individuals who
have themselves unquestionably
absorbed dynamite or nitro
glycerin. Iodine and various
other things thru their hands,
and statements of doctors that
victims of shoe dye poisoning
and the like have absorbed the
poison thru the skin. That's
what they Imagine I do not
exclude euch substances from
the test on my skin.
I confess I have an ulterior
purpose tn repeating from time
to time the assertion that noth
ing Is or can be absorbed into
the body thru unbroken skin
(skin not scratched, cut, blis
tered or punctured). It is be
cause other doctors, who know
no more about it than I do,
have so often asserted that this
and that Is absorbed thru the
skin, that tha notion persists
in the medical and the popular
mind. i
Here Is an Instance of that
sort of propaganda. An article
in what purports to be a medi
cal journal tells how the doctor
made a diagnosis. Young couple
consulted him about their fail
ure to have a child. The doctor
examined the husband and could
find nothing wrong. Then he
examined the wife and still
could find nothing wrong. As
the wife was leaving the con
sulting room the doctor sud
denly noticed that every few
strides there was a curious
change In her gait, a sort of
shuffle. He called her back and
told her he now understood
everything. He told her she was
a negress! She broke down in
sobs, and confessed that there
was some negro blood In her
family but if the doctor would
only keep the secret she could
go on being happy with her
husband who, of course, never
knew anything about that. She
had undergone several abortions
rather than take the chance of
giving birth to a black child,
etc, etc.
All sheer hokum, of course.
In the first place, if the woman
had had several abortions the
doctor would at least have
found reason to doubt the story
of sterility. In the next place,
there is no such thing as a
"throwback" that Is, the birth
of a black child to white parents
one or both of whom happen
to have some negro blood. A
child may be slightly darker
than the lighter colored parent
or slightly less negroid in char
acteristics than the purent with
negro blood, but never more

negroid or darker than that
parent. This is eugenics.

The Rise and Fall of Rome
To. the Editor:
We note this item In the Trib
une of January 12th, 1842:
"Church worker in New Jersey
turns out to be a crook." Any
thing can happen in New Jersey,
and that is what the churches
are for. A place for crooks to
hide in. In some places the sin
ners have driven the good peo
ple out.
Now that the F. B. I. have
found where to look for the
crooks we should have more law
and order.
The most crooks are to be
found where the easy money is
and the less chance to get caught.
So right now Washington,
D. C, is the place and it seems
by reading between the lines
there are more crooks in the
National Capitol than any place
on earth. The reason is they are
under the Influence of the same
drug or dope that caused the
Dark Ages and the Decline and
Fall of Ancient Rome.

Comment
From Washington. D. C.
Fifth Columnist
Know Army Mores
Bright Boys Aid
Plan of CIO
r Br John W. Xtllr-.
Washington. D. C, Jan. 19.
Fifth columnists are aware of
the troop movements in the Pa
cific northwest, but only the
few ranking officers of the 9th
army corps (the 4th army) and
some of the strategy experts in
the national capital have any
Idea of the number and disposi
tion of the land troops. One of
the first activities following Dec.
7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor had
its baptism of fire, was to look
to the defense of the Pacific
coast, and particularly Washing
ton and Oregon, where the Jap
anese have always been expect
ed to attempt an invasion, either
by bomber or landing party.
It can be said that today the
northwest is ready for the ap
pearance of Invaders by sea or
sky and the strengthening of
this defense is continuing rapid
ly. In the northwest has been
poured an endless stream of
troops. In the Rocky mountain
and plains states the trains have
rushed with now and then a few
cars with iron bars on windows,
these cars containing aliens des
tined for unnamed concentra
tion camps Germans, Italians
and Japanese.
No one knows where these
soldiers have been distributed,
at least no civilian. Last summer
there were war games in west
ern Washington and the public
knew where the soldiers were.
The movement of last August
was Insignificant compared to
the hidden activities of the mo
ment. Howitzers, machine guns, anti
aircraft weapsn, anti-tank guns
are scattered at strategic points
from Olympia peninsula to
points east of the Cascades; all
camouflaged so cleverly and
concealed so well that neither
citizen nor fifth columnist ts
aware of their existence. But
they are there, ready for busi-
SOME fine day labor may in
sist, with government backing,
that it has equal right with man
agement In operating a western
sawmill, an aluminum plant, a
newspaper, shipbuilding plant
or private power company. If
industry does not sense this situ
ation, it is not familiar with the
struggle between labor and In
dustrialists In the automobile
business. It Is the determination
of CIO to dictate in managing
the automotive plants and these
CIO leaders have the backing of
many bright young men on the
government payroll (mostly from
Harvard or Columbia), who con
tend that the "profit motive" is
selfish and therefore should be
destroyed.
The CIO leaders who have
been making these demands
have taken page advertisements
accusing OPM of dilatory tactics
in production, especially for not
using the auto industry at its
full capacity. These ssme CIO
leaders were those who intro
duced sit-down strikes, slow
down strikes, general strikes
and secondary boycotts. The
man-days lost by these strikes
amounted to 17,000,000 days;
enough to build battleships and
cruisers. They held up needed
machinery for the government's
Bonneville power dam and
through their affiliates tied up
the lumber Industry of the
northwest.
Labor has court decisions
establishing the right of a work
man to his job and that he can
not be fired. There is no oblige
tion on his part to remain on the
Job, for he can quit at any time.
The present campaign has been
to insist that the worker, who
has no capital invested In a
plant, can step in and co-manage
it with the Industrialist. The
ultimate aim of these CIO lead
ers Is state socialism. It should
be recorded that one of these
leaders studied in Moscow and
letters written by him praising
the advantage of workers run
ning industries have been Insert
ed In the Congressional Record.
a a a
IF CIO gains Its point in this
controversy, says a high govern
ment official, the plan will
spread to the northwest and to
industries there; to the steel
mills in the east, and to all In
dustries eventually. AFL, which
is excluded from the mass pro
duction industries, such as auto-
mobiles, Is giving CIO its moral
support, for there are enter
prises In which AFL unions
would Ilka to have a SO-SO say,
such as the aircraft Industry and
shipbuilding.
Industrialists declare that gen
eral adoption of such a policy
would mean the death of the
American system of Individual
enterprise the profit motive
for private capital will not be
risked if stockholders are to
take all the risk and be denied
the right to manager the busi
ness. Out of this mess now brewing
can be expected a thorough
shake-up of OFM, the members
of which have gained the ill-will
ot CIO, and one of those whose
ears will be knocked down is
Bill Knudsen, himself a rugged
Individualist with long training
in the General Motors organization.
In The

Day's
' News :
III. i !J, '!!' . ! . -U....-..J
By Frank Jenkins
TTHE Pacific picture today (Sat-
urday) is not so bright.
The Japs, checked yesterday
by the hard-hitting Australians,
have poured again around the
flank of the British on the Malay
peninsula, reaching Malacca, on
the strait of the same name
about 100 miles from Singapore.
The strait of Malacca sepa
rates the Malay peninsula from
the Dutch island of Sumatra. It
is the main shipping route
guarded by Singapore. It is. the
route by which water-borne re
inforcements must reach Singa
pore. (Your map will make the situ
ation here much plainer than
words can.)
-4
TTHE Japs claim today that
General MacArthur's forces
on the Batan peninsula are in
"general retreat toward the coast
of Manila bay, presumably in
hopes of finding shelter on Cor
regidor island."
(The U. S. war department In
Washington fails to confirm this
Jap claim, reporting only that
an attack by OVERWHELMING
Japanese numbers, well support
ed by planes and artillery is be
ing stubbornly contested by
MacArthur's army.)
AS an American, capable of
"thinking for yourself, you
should read the enemy reports
but should CONSIDER THEIR
SOURCE.
Tokyo gives out news not for
the purpose of INFORMING but
for the purpose of MISLEAD
ING. The same holds true for
Berlin and Rome. Germany,
Italy and Japan are dictator
ruled countries, whose press and
radio are WHOLLY under the
thumb of the ruler and are used
primarily for propaganda. .
War propaganda has two main
purposes: To deceive, confuse
and terrify the enemy and to
ENCOURAGE the people at
home.
Tokyo, Berlin and Rome have
no scruples about using their
press and radio for these pur
poses. You must take that fact
into consideration in reading or
listening to ALL news from axis
sources.
CROM time to time bits of
news given out by the axis
prove to be accurate (especially
! when they deal with axis victor
I ies.) So you can't afford to dis
i regard them entirely. But in
1 reading them ALWAYS CON
SIDER THE SOURCE. Never
believe them implicitly. Always
check them a g a in s t other
sources.
JF you will take a look at a
map of the Batan peninsula,
you will see at once the reason
for MacArthu's success in hold
ing bsck a superior force. His
front is narrow. His flanks are
protected by water or by pre
cipitous mountains.
Always, since war began,
small forces have chosen such
positions for stubborn stands
sgalnst superior forces.
The pass of Thermopylae,
where Leonidas and his 1400
Greeks held back the Persian
holds, was a narrow front, pro
tected on one side by the sea
and on the other by the moun
tains. In such positions, the superior
attacking forces is compelled to
make a costly frontal attack. In
open country, it can pour around
the ends, enveloping and smoth
ering the smaller body of de
fenders. TTHE British have had a nar-
row front on the Malay
peninsula, with water on both
flanks, but the Japs have appar
ently possessed sufficient naval
superiority to enable them to
outflank the defending British
BY WATER.
THE war picture, admittedly
1 dark In the Pacific, is bright
er elsewhere at the moment
The British today take Hal-
faya pass by storm, thus clear
ing the road alonj the Mediter
ranean for supply of the British
advanced armies pushing on
westward toward Tripoli. In the
past, British supply lines have
been compelled to detour over
a hazardous desert trail 100
miles to the south.
The Russians today are re
ported to be showering down
parachute troops in the rear of
the Germans at Mozhaisk on
the Moscow front. Their hope is
to trap the Germans defending
that advanced point.
nTE must learn to size up each
" day the WHOLE SITUA
TION, balancing the bright
spots against the dark ones, be
ing not too cast down by tha
darker places in the news and
not too cocksure as a result of
the brighter ones.
Only tn that way can we mam
tain national efficiency. Nation
al efficiency is all-important.

There'll be no lull 'till it's paid
in full, '
All America has sworn.
You can bet your yen well be
seeing you then
Over in Toyko town;
We won't brag, but it's in the
bag,
Your "rising sun" is going
down.
Our Pearl Harbor dead, the
blood that was shed.
You'll remember 'till your last
breath;
We answer the call with our all
in all,
America will fight to the
death.
Pauline Crocker.
