Cherbourg Peninsula Rugged
Pounding 8eas, periodic storms, and rushing tides
through the ages have dented but failed to liquidate
the plateau head ot the embattled uotentm (uier
bourg) Peninsula. Granite masses running through it
crop out in promontories at its exposed corners, giv-
ing it the strengtn o: uiDrauar, says me iNauonai
Geographic Society.
The granite plateau head occupies nearly half of
the portion of the peninsula that juts its 25'mile width
northward 30 miles towfird England from the rest
of the Normandy mainland. On the weatherbeaten
west coast it extends from the 4u-toot tsez de jo
bourtr. near low. sandv Can de la Hague, southward
20 miles past the granite bulk of Cap de Flamanville
to the rocks of Cap de Carteret.
t
THE depth of the plateau head along the east coast
is only seven miles southward from Pointe de
Barfleur in a curving arc of granite rocks past Pointe
de Saire to St. Vaast la Housrue, Cherbourg, with its
naval base and commercial harbor, lies low in front
of the plateau at the center of its sagging north coast.
A trans-neninsula road joining Carteret with St.
Vaast la Hougue extends in
southern edge of the rolling
through Bricquebec and Valogues, at each of which
it is crossed by a highway and a railroad from Cher
bourg.
Occasional bare ridees
the village-dotted meadows of the plateau. Roughly
triangular in shape with a blunt apex to the east, its
area is 400 square miles and its average altitude is a
little over 300 feet. , . . . ,
SOUTH from the plateau, the Cotentin descends to
low, rolling meadow land cut by stream valleys
and covered with cider-apple orchards, bucKmeat,
and grasses. The coasts are low and sandy. The only
wooded patches are in a line inland from the west
coast and southward from
A line from battle-scarred tarentan, port on the
River Taute inland from the Grand Vey bight on the
east coast, to the estuary of the River Ay near Lessay
on the west coast, passes through a wide central
marshy region, and marks the southern limit of the
jutting portion of the peninsula. Only a three-mile
neck of rising land west of the marsh and east of
Lessay stands as a barrier to construction of a near-
sea-level canal across this Normandy shoulder.
Ice Cream Dividend
"Make mine vanilla 1"
Declaration bv the War Food Administration of a
30.000.000-eallon extra dividend of ice cream to civil
ians for this summer is based on bumper milk pro
duction throughout the nation. Wartime commercial
quotas will be raised substantially by the new ruling,
and national yarly consumption will swing back
toward its 1941 figure of about 3 gallons per person.
Ice cream, as Americans (its greatest consumers)
do not need to be told, is a frozen food containing
cream or butter fat, flavoring, sweetening, and usual
ly eggs- Two grades are characteristic in this country:
Philadelphia, as it is known to the trade, made of
cream and sugar, with flavoring; and French, made
similarly, but with a heavy custard added.
Ice cream has been knewn as one of the good things
of American life since 17S6, says the National Geo
graphic Society. In that year it was advertised in New
York City. George Washington knew about it earlier.

News Behind

Washington, June 21 Mr.
Churchill must have been In a

predicted the
end of the war
In Europe this
summer. The
most respected
military a u
thorlties here
share the hope
that the Euro
pean end is a
matter of
months, but
they are not
predicting. To
them this is
Paul Mellon
just the beginning of the final
military operations These are
the early stages of the planned
crushing blows.
Look at the front pages, The
operations which formerly were
reported In two or three differ
ent headlines now monopolize
Dractleallv all tha pnlumni ar,
f a"k And
they will grow more.
AS DARINO as the European
invasion, was the attack up
on Saipan. Up to that point, we
had been merely on the outer
fringes of the Jap defensive line.
With that thrust, we plunged
into tne very heart of it. by
passing all the naval strongholds
dotted out southward and east
ward in the Pacific (Truk, Palau,
Trap. etc.).
There was not the usual Isl
and hopping, but an enlightened
and brilliant stratagem designed
to put our bombers within easier
range of Tokyo and over all the
Jap shipping through which she
sustalm her war empire It was
feasible only because we have
been dominating the sea lanes
and thus could supply such an
advanced force, or at least we
have the right to suspect we can,
because we put warships and
transports safely into action
there with the Invading force.
Unless the Jap fleet comes out
of hidlr.g to fight a decisive bat
tle, that condition will continue.
The details of the fighting
were at first held back, prob
ably because this Is only one
knife thrust In a general scheme
of attack, just one phase upon
which further developments rest.
Consequently, t must be as
sumed the authorities wisely
awaited a decisive break In the
fighting.
1
CO, ALSO, with France to some
extent The bulk of our army
has been held out of Normandy,
in a similarly threatening man
ner. In Italy, the Nazis are at
tempting from time to time to
stiffen their resistance at a few
strong points, but at other times,
they are soft.
Thus it is impossible to guess
accurately on the end of tha war.
So much depends on factors con
cerning which we may have an
opinion, but which are not facts,
such things as German military
and civilian morale on which
there arc oscillating signs, the
missing Luftwaffe, etc. And in
the Pacific, the 'eal attack has
Just started.
IF THE robot plane assault on
England is the dummy Luft
waffe Herr Goerlng was ad
dressing with a plea to fight to
the death and there Is no other,
the robot attack Itself is a sign of
German desperation It is a silly
method of warfare, for which
the only excuse Is a desire to
spread consternation with indis
criminate killing and destruc
tion. The British were so upset
about It because It is psycholog
ically disturbing even to the Im
perturbable to see those aimless
plane loads of explosive flying
overhead, uncontrolled, at a rate
of about 19 or more an hour,
day and night. But from a mili
tary standpoint, it Is only an at
tack upon Impregnable British
courage.
The rocket planes are con
structed cheaply but must use
much material which goes Into
planes, and every one shot falls
to come back. Therefore, intrin
sically It is Just a very expen
sive, aimless expenditure of ma
terial by a nation already on
the verse of defeat for that
very reason, and so short of air
material that it hat not been
able to put up an air force.

MP
Letter From Washington
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Member of Congress From Oregon! .
Washington, D. C June 17
(Special Correspondence) Thls
week the House finished its
more than seven days of discus
sion of the Price Control Bill
(OPA). A few amendments
were put In on the floor of the
House, but most of those offered
on the Floor were rejected. The
bill is now in conference. The
conference committee made up
of both senators and representa
tives will doubtless make a re
port early next week, and the
bill will probably be passed and
go to the President. There has
been some rumor to the effect
that the President might veto
the bill, because of some of the
provisions. However, in view
Of the fact that no great sweep
ing changes were made, It
seems to me he should find it
acceptable.
The debate on the bill repre
sented an outpouring of the
grievances of our 140,000,000
people against what has appar
ently been poor administration
of a fairly good law. The reci
tation of the troubles followed
a general pattern. Regulations
forced manufacturers out of
business with low price ceilings,
but permitted new manufactur
ing In the same line to begin
business and sell their products
at much higher prices. This re
sulted In scarcity of goods and
ultimately in much higher
prices to the consumer for many
items.
One typical example was the
pancake flour situation which
developed about a year ago.
Many producers of non-branded
pancake flour in packages were
forced to quit business when de
nied a lc increase in price from
6c to 7c per package. Where
upon, some new firms went in
to the business of producing
pancake flour of the same kind
and in the same size packages,
but they were permitted to sell
at celling prices as high as 18c
per package.
NUMEROUS small retail
stores were forced out of busi
ness because the prices they
were compelled to pay for mer
chandise were -higher than their
retail ceiling price line, but new
stores appeared next door or
across the street, selling similar
merchandise at higher prices.
The new stores, of course, were
permitted ceiling prices in line
with their current merchandise
cost prices.
In my own district, I have
known several Instances of tons
of. farm produce being left un
harvested for the reason that
OPA delayed too long In telling
the processors what the ceiling
price on the canned, botUed or
preserved product would be.
Since the processors did not
know what they could sell their
pack for, they were afaid to
buy the produce from the grow
ers. These are but a few examples.
There were hundreds recited
on the floor.
a
OUT of sheer desperation,
many Members of Congress
sought to remedy administra
tive abuses by attempting to
write administrative detail Into
the law. The members proposed
the hundred or more amend
ments because there seemed to
be no other way of getting re
lief for the people. The orieinal
price control law gave the peo
ple no appeal from OPA to the
courts. It was recognized, how
ever, by a majority of the mem
bers of the house that it is im
possible to write administrative
detail into any statute. The best
mat could be done. therefnr
in addition to throwing certain
omer sareguards around the ad
ministration of the law was to
provide a system of appeal
through the courts from OPA
rulings.
It is true that some minor
groups sought the passage of
amendments that would give
their Interests special advan
tage. The house was well aware
of those moves, and all such
amendments were killed. There
were a few also who sought to
wreck the functioning of the
law, but these attempts were
also voted down by large ma
jorities. a a a
WHAT happened during the
past two years of administra
tion of the price control law is
very similar to the type of ad
ministration that has been given

For Statement On U.S., Japan
London, June 21 U.F9 Capt,
Oliver Lyttelton, British minis

commons today for extempora
neous remarks which yesterday
aroused official indignation in

He sad the words he used
seemed to suggest that the help
provoked Japan to attack the
