The Holes In the Axis Dike
The Nazis' Festung Europa has been imperiled
by military and political blunders of the Nazi high
command, forcing Germany to ration shrinking
military resources to plug holes in a "vast dike"
extending from the Arctic ocean to the shores of
the Aegean, declares Capt. H. A. De Weerd, asso
ciate editor of The Infantry Journal.
ihe Uerman doctrine
marily in close support and under the actual com
mand of ground officers (despite the fact that the
Luftwaffe is a separate air force) played into Allied
hands in North Africa," Capt. De Weerd wrote in
the current issue of Flying.
As long as the Luftwaffe must support an army
spread out from Finland to
achieve the concentration
in one area without exposing some other part of the
irerman army to disaster.
"'APT. De Weerd asserted that the "peculiar vul
nerability" of Hitler's "Fortress Europe" to air
attack arises "from the very nature of the Nazi
system." He pointed out that though the Germans
piled one conquest on another from 1939 to 1941,
they never succeeded in reconciling any of the
conquered peoples to their so-called 'new order'."
Unable to trust their own people with freedom, he
continued, the Nazis could not extend freedom to
the conquered and were forced to garrison all
Europe. The war of attrition against Russia forced
a thinning of the garrisons -on the perimeter of
Europe and there was a parallel dispersion of the
German air forces.
"The defense of so-called 'inner lines' by the
rapid shifting of forces . . . has been a favorite sub
ject for German military writers since the days of
Frederick the Great, he explained. "Before the
event of long-range air power it was possible for
a nation with interior lines to carry out the shifting
of its forces within the perimeter of its defenses
quite unmolested. Germany did so from 1914-1918.
The Axas tried the same thing in the Mediterranean
theatre before the fall of Tunisia, but the new factor
which upset their calculations was the capacity of
Allied air power to disrupt their lines of communi
cation and isolate their forces." W. B.
Post War College Aims
Some readjustments unquestionably will be
made at the top of the American educational system
to fit it to give the greatest possible service in the
postwar world. That is far from implying anything
revolutionary. ,
But in some respects it is going to be a different
sort of a world, and in it there will be pressure to
have the colleges and universities put tremendous
stress on "pi'ac&csT rather than cultural aims.
Heads of many privately endowed institutions in
America are girding themselves to resist the pressure.
Dr. Robert Clothier,,
versity, in a recent article in The Educational Record,
is more optimistic than some on that score. He says :
"We believe that the basic tenets of our educational
faith will be preserved, for the ultimate success of
any society, particularly a democratic society, must
depend upon the intelligence and character as well
as upon the skills and expertness of the individual.
In particular that is the purpose of our liberal arts
disciplines. We believe the liberal arts will be fully
restored to their proper place in our . educational
philosophy." '
VET this cultural education, as contrasted with
.armallv imnnrfarif anrin. oflnatiAn nuorrit trt
be somehow reassayed, in Dr. Clothier's opinion.
Profound as is the satisfaction it gives the individual
in present and in later life, he makes the point that
perhaps people will swing to the viewpoint "that
knowledge used for the common good is a higher
goal than knowledge 'for its own sake'." Failure to
realize it in the past may be the reason, he thinks,
"why pur technological skills have outstripped our
social philosophy."
Conceding that many students are not capable
of it, the head of Rutgers cannot be wrong in his
feeling that the colleges have not paid enough at
tention to the encouragement of original thinking.
Tutorial and preceptorial plans, theses and compre
hensive tests have been applied to this end in some
institutions. Dr. Clothier longs for the day when
such techniques will be improved and applied to
special groups in all institutions of higher learning.
After all, sound and original thinkers must be
the hope and reliance of this and every other nation.

PELLAGRA
Pellagra, whether only mild
and minus the typical skin mani
festations, or full-fledged, Is pri
marily due to prolonged or con
stant lack of niacin (nicotine
add) In the diet, but in every
case there are associated short
ages of other vitamins of the B
complex group, especially ribo
flavin (vitamin B2 or G). so
that the prevention as well as
the treatment or cure must al
ways insure an optimal dally ra
tion of vitamin B complex
which means several times as
much as may be required nor
mally to maintain good health.
The minimum dally requirement
of niacin to maintain good health
has not been precisely deter
mined but is probably 10 milli
grams, as much as one gets in
a capsule of vitamin B complex
or in three or four heaping tabl?
spoonsful of brewers' yeast pow

In a statement addressed to
Saltonstall and signed by John

newspaper said the governor ad

Saltonstall, Incensed by a PM

P.-T. A. Activities
The motto of the Oregon Par
ent-Teacher Congress, "A Mem
bership in Every Home," has
promise of achievement as par
ents, teachers and friends rise
to the call. The week of October
18 to 22, inclusive, is nation-wide
Parent-Teacher association mem
bership week, and is at this time
an especially significant exam
ple of the American way of life.
Cooperation is the essence of
success in education and home
and school -must work together
to achieve the best results. As
stated by L. R. Alderman, spe
cialist in adult education, U. S.
Office of Education, "The child
whose parents and teachers are
Intelligently Interested in Ivs
progress is the child who does
the best work in school. Parents
and teachers often wonder why.
given two children equally en
dowed with ability to learn, one
should do well In school and the
other should do poorly, barely
passing or perhaps not passing
work. Many factors may enter
into such a picture, but the at
titude of the child's parents fre
quently plays the most influen
tial role."
The world of tomorrow will
be in the hands of the youth
of today so it should be a vital
concern not only of parents, but
of every citizen, to take an ac
tive interest in the guidance of
American youth. One of the
first steps -in such participation
is a membership in the Parent
Teacher association.
