SLOVAK PATRIOTS BATTLE GERMANS REBOUND Martial Law Proclaimed Panic Hits Cabinet; Re port Nazis Revolt. London, Aug. 12 flJ.R) The Czechoslovak puppet govern ment proclaimed martial law throughout Slovakia today after patriots clashed with German troops retreating from Poland through the Carpathian passes and attacked Nazi military transport and supply dumps. A u t h oritatlve Czechoslovak sources said underground infor mation had reported revolts among German troops billeted in Slovakia and among Slovak troops who refused to be sent to Italy and Romania to bolster the wavering Nazi forces. Meanwhile near panic seemed to have seized the Slovak cabi net, and the German Transocean News Agency reported in a dis patch from Bratislava that the death penalty had been decreed for anyone caught taking part in "revolutionary activities, rob bery or sabotage of transport, communications and health serv ices." A Czechoslovak spokesman said that patriots for the past three weeks have been carrying out large-scale sabotage attacks against German military trans port and that there have been numerous open clashes between patriots and Germans who now have taken over til the frontier area between Poland and Slo vakia. Information from the Czecho slovak underground reaching the exile dgovernment here said rov ing bands of guerrillas are wag ing war against German troops retreating through the Carpath ian passes as the Soviet armies approach the Slovak frontier. Postwar Jobs Babson Says: "Prepare for Them Now" Babson Park, Mass., Aug. 11 (Special Correspondent) Many Inquiries are coming to me from the families of servicemen re garding what their boys should do after returning home. Of course most of those who left good positions will be taken back by their old employers. On the other hand, a larger percentage of the men in our armed forces never had worthwhile, if any. positions. To these men I make the following suggestions: A prominent magazine which was especially interested in de veloping national advertising once employed me. The publish ers were especially desirous for me to discover some product not now profitably marketed After three months of intensive study I was forced to report that I was unable to find a single industry in which some concern, some where, was not already making millions. This included every thing from cradles to coffins. This is even more true today than it was at the time of this study. It shows that success de pends upon the man rather than industry in which he is engaged or the locality where he works. This is especially important for young men to remember in this new age when they expect everything to be planned for tec them and when they will tem porarily be seeking security rather than freedom. What About Small Business? Opportunities are found every where for those with integrity, industry and the pioneering spirit. This will be truer after the war ihan ever before al though the temptation to "let George do it" will also be far greater. Although the small busi nessman has a harder row to hoe than the big corporations, yet there may be more opportunity for the individual with the small businessman. This is probably what the Reader's Digest has in mind in offering $25,000 in prizes in its August issue. The published answers to this inquiry will be very interesting. The big business corporation has a momentum which carries it along through the power of or ganization and money together with the ability to use national advertising profitably. It is not so dependent upon the energy and imagination of any one in dividual. The small businessman, however, is absolutely dependent for success upon a few excep tional men. Although as an in vestor I prefer to put my money into a '.arge corporation, yet as a returning serviceman I would seek to help some small business man. Telephone Directories Aid In Selecting Job I understand that it Is diffi cult to send a book to a service man unless you have a letter from him asking that it be sent. If you think your boy is wonder ing what he is to do when he gets back, have him ask you to send him a Classified Telephone Directory for your city. These directories may be little gold mines "for those who are willing to study them. When someone asks for my idea as for what he is best fitted. I give him a classi fied telephone directory and suggest that he read it through as to headirgs while waiting in my office. This very often solves his problem so that he does not need help from me. There will' be a great tempta tion after the war for returning soldiers to get into politics or labor unions or farmers' leagues or something of the kind to "se cure justice for the serviceman." Some of these organizations may have been useful in the past; but those men will get on best in this postwar era who depend more on their God and themselves and less upon politics and man-made organizations. May I add one more sugges tion without being misunder stood? Many prayers are said in vain. American and German boys cannot expect God will an swer the prayers of both groups when they pray for victory. Both American and German boys, however, can logically pray for peace and for guidance as to what they should do after peace comes. Hence, my final advice regarding postwar Jobs is that the family should take God into their confidence more. Don't try to decide this or any other im portant question alone. HALL OF "PASSES" Hollywood, Aug. 12 U.R Band leader Tommy Dorsey late todsy accused handsome Film Star Jon Hall of "making passes" at his beautiful wife, Pnt Dane, at a party in his apartment that preceded a bloody battle on the balcony outside. "It was very embarrassing for her," Dorsey said as he appeared at the district attorney's office to make a formal statement on the fighting a week ago tonight that resulted in a smashed nose and deep cuts for Hall. "I was on the verge of order ing him to leave. But I have known Hall's wife, Frances Langford, for a long time and hesitated. We were all relieved when Hall finally left." Dorsey said that Hall returned a few minutes later and put his arm around Miss Dane when she answered the door. "He held her." Dorsey said, "as she tried to draw away and began running his hands over her body." Retailers Request Erasing of Federal Business Controls Absecon. N. J., Aug. 12 (U.R) The post-war planning com mittee of the National Retail Dry Goods association In a state ment today at the close of its two day conference, urged the withdrawal of restrictions of government business control, and the readjustment of federal taxes as measures to aid in ob taining a speedy and orderly Sunday.

One of the four freedoms we are fight ing for is FREEDOM FROM WANT. To many millions this is the most im portant of the four freedoms because when there is no FREEDOM FROM WANT, all history tells us that "Freedom of Speech", "Freedom of Worship" and "Freedom from Fear" do not long endure. This is why the Food for Freedom program in our country is so vital to victory. Our farmers have a real job on their hands, a job such as no agricultural people have ever been asked to do, but our farmers are better equipped to ao this job than any people in all history. In many agricultural countries older methods are still used such as were used here even over a 100 years ago. A War Record! SINCE the beginning of this world crisis, all the men and women of Minneapolis-Moline have dedicated their unswerving efforts to an all-out Victory pro gram. As early as 1938, Minneapolis-Moline was working on the conversion of a farm tractor to serve our Armed Forces, and many of these MM military tractors are now serving on foreign battlefields. These MM tractors were the first military vehicles to be called JEEPS. Minneapolis-Moline was one of the first 45 firms in the United States to be awarded the United States Mari time "M" Pennant, the Victory Fleet Flag, and Maritime Labor Merit Badges for its employees by the United S tates Maritime Commission in recognition of Minneapolis-Molina's outstanding production achievements in helping build Victory Ships. When Minneapolis-Moline was awarded the Army-Navy "E", it became the first farm machinery company and ono of the very few com panies in the entire United States to be awarded both the Maritime "M" and Army-Navy "E" both for High Quality and High Production Achievements. for Rogue River Valley Farms and Orchards!
