By Arthur Parry
Pacifists and the sentimental
folks have started feeling sorry
for 'poor Germany,' and old
Marshal Pctaln of France, late
of Vichy, now In hiding. Neither
deserve sympathy. Both asked
for what they are now receiving.
The old Marshal Is listed as the
hero of Verdun' In the First
World War, but the records show
It was because he had to be. He
wanted to surrender, but the
French leaders wouldn't let him.
And, Germany wants to be
handled with silk gloves, nd
low bows, and, not as the hood
lum nation she Is. There will be
no parole, to get ready for
World War III.

coming around in the morning
and taking you to Sunday

The head of the War Labor

v MOTHERLY JITTERS
"Mother worries If daughter's
beau laughs a lot. Mother knows
this means he Isn't ready to pro
pose. My wife fears our daugh
ter Is wasting time with the
happy young fellow who comes
here so often. He sings, laughs
and talks real loud, Indicating
he Is in love with Ufa and not
with daughter. When a young
man Is anxious to marry he Is
sad and he talks to daughter so
low that mother can't hear him
In spite of all her efforts. He
has no appetite, Instead of the
wonderful appetite our daugh
ter's beau has. He likes to sit
close to the girl Instead of going
to the refrigerator for rationed
food, as this young fellow does.
So long as daughter'! beau Is
full of life, mother has little
chance to catch him for a son-in-law."

With Nazi armies Bmashed by victorious Allied
drives on all fronts, and the Herrenvolk stunned by
uninterrupted and unrelenting bombings from the
skies, it seems difficult indeed to arouse enthusiasm
for just another waste paper drive.
And, with Japanese Premier Koiso announcing
another "unprecedented grave crisis" on the heels of
America's latest stab at the Bonin islands, almost any
appeal for waste paper would seem needless, irrele
vant and immaterial. As a matter of fact, many Amer
icans consider the war won and further civilian effort
and sacrifice entirely uncalled for.
THERE'S a vast difference between confidence and ! any surplus war property dlspos
onmnlonra Wo npprl mnfh nf t.Vifi former we I al agencies exist and Mayor La
. . . . . . ...
can do entirely without the
this is no time for a cocky, "it's-in-the-bag" attitude.
For such an attitude impairs the prosecution of the
war.
There is every reason to expect that we are ap
proaching the home-stretch in Europe, but none for
slackening in effort either at home or at the front.
In fact every reason for hitting harder and doing
more thus hastening the end and thus saving Ameri
can lives and treasure.
So, it behooves Jackson county people to take this
job of collecting scrap paper seriously.
For waste paper when
front maps, and for containers for war foods, ammu
nition, medicine and blood plasma. There are, in fact,
.JO.OOO articles used by the army and navy wrapped
or boxed in paper. Two million tons are urgently
needed right now for immediate military use.
THE current paper drive opens Wednesday, with
1 the S.P. -building at Main and Front streets as
official collection depot. Valuable assistance will be
given by Jackson County Boy Scouts.
In the past there has been no means of gathering
salvage materials in country areas. Fortunately, this
problem has been solved for this drive with the patri
otic offer of rural and star route postal carriers to
collect bundles of paper and haul them to the collec
tion depot. If Jackson county's 4,700 families reached
bv these mail routes contribute but 20 pounds each
a carload of waste paper will be secured from this
single source I Bundles should be placed on or along
side rural mail boxes.
TXE repeat the simple instructions for preparing
' bundles of waste paper for this drive: Flatten
card board boxes or cartons and tie in bundles about
12 inches high; tie magazines and books in bundles
about 18 inches high, lay newspapers flat and tie in
bundles, 12 inches high; put waste basket paper, such
as old envelopes or wrappers in cartons or boxes and
pack down tightly to conserve space.
Now, as you read this,
to dig out those old newspapers and magazines and
tie them into bundles for the paper drive Wednesday.
It is a mighty important part of the war effort. H.G.
Not Jelled Yet
The "week of decision" is over.
But as far as this department is concerned it will
take another week to know exactly what is going on
in Europe.
The Germans are getting a terrific beating. That is
certain. Their card-board fascist "empire" is falling
and falling fast.
But whether this all adds up to a final knock-out
blow or merely a softening
extend over a number of
is not vet clear. .....
IT is doubtful if ANYone really KNOWS.
TKa a Iliad nr.mrnaT.r1 krmwa wlinf. la hannnnmir tf
their forces and precisely where they are. The Gere
man high command, undoubtedly knows what is hap
pening to their armies as well as what is going on
behind their front But there is no evidence to support
the assumption either side knows much about the
exact situation within the enemy ranks.
Yes, it is all pretty much confusion worse con
founded. Rather like a log iam that has broken, with
one side trying to escape to nigh ground and the other
side trying to prevent it, and a mix-up of men, logs,
water-spouts and what have you.
.....
DUT before the week is out it should be apparent
whether this is the end or merely the beginning
of the end ; whether the Nazi serpent is in its death
throes, or merely beating it for home as fast as it can
go, there to make a last ditch stand, with the swastika
nailed to the mast, as the once proud ship now a
bullet-riddled hulk, goes down.
But certainly the past week was a thrilling one.
and the present week promises to be even more of a
"Big Parade" toward the German frontiers.
It is doubtful if those Wall Street brokers win their
Labor Dav wagers, but it should be known on Labor
Day, PRECISELY what the score is.
Great To Be Crazy!
Yes at times it IS "great to be crazy".
Take Herr Hitler for example. If he were not a
mental case, he would have blown his brains out long
ago after a period of intense mental and spiritual
anguish.
But paranoia saves him. His delusions of persecu
tion and of grandeur turn his diseased ego from intro
spection to searching for another scapegoat.
He is not to blame for Germany's tragedy I
IMPOSSIBLE! His persecutors are and they are
legion, not only without the Reich but now within.
So undoubtedly Adolf is now searching for them,
and woe to them when he finds them.
Unless a beneficent turn of fate, allows them to
find him, FIRST 1

TREASURY CHIEF
DENIES CHARGES
Washington, Aug. 28 U.RJ
E. L. Olrich, assistant to the sec
retary of the treasury, defended
the treasury's surplus property
disposal program today and de
nied charges of Mayor Fiorello
H. La Guardia of New York that
surplus property was now being
sold "at Junkie prices."
..XT. I..AH..U.II!U I m
fliinrrlln'e ctntmint nrn a rna
Guardia's statements are a gross
Injustice, he told the house com
mittee on postwar military pol
icy. In testimony before the Mead
committee of the senate, La
Guardia recently charged that
400,000 battle dressings, 10,000
dozen pairs of hospital rubber
gloves, 200 cases of evaporated
milk and 400 motorcycles were
being sold at junk dealer prices.
The price for the motorcycles,
the mayor said, "would knock
you over."
The battle dressings were re
jected as unusable by military
authorities and the manufacturer
then reoffered them at his own
financial loss, Olrich said. "They
were selling their own rejected
property and no surplus war
property agency nor govern
mental agency was in any way
Involved.

PRESS SESSIONS
Washington, Aug. 28 flJ.R)
Chairmen of the American, Brit
ish and Russian delegations to
the Dumbarton Oaks world se
curity talks will hold a joint
press conference tomorrow, It
was announced today.
The announcement, made by
Chairman Edward R. Stettinlus,
Jr., of the American delegation,
indicated a possible partial lift
ing of the secrecy that has pre
vailed since the conference con
vened a week ago.
The conference will take place
at 10:30 a. m., In the mansion of
the . Dumbarton Oaks estate,
which has been out of bounds
for reporters since the opening
plenary session of the Interna,
tional meetings.
Decision to hold a press con
ference followed a protest meet
ing bv the state department cor
respondents association last
Thursday asking for a more lib
eral policy on dissemination of
information about the confer
ence. Stettinlus promised then that
the chairmen would try to work
something out which would sat
isfy them.
Sen. Styles Bridges, R., N. H.,
assailed administration propos
als for an International organiza
tion and said its proposed council-assembly
setup would be "the
basis for big-power politics with
less powerful nations on the out
side looking in."
The American proposal calls
for creation of an international
assembly, with a higher council
on which the big four nations
the United States, Britain, Rus
sia and China would have per
manent membership along with
seven other nations elected from
time to time.

PARIS HOODLUMS
CONTROL PUT DP
TO GEN DE GAULLE
Distributed by United Press)
Paris. Au. 28 (U.R) Paris
wants food that her allies can
and will give her.
But. rid of the Germans, she
now also wants disorderly ele
ments of the maquis and the
French forces of the Interior
kent in check.
The allies are determined that
Gen. Charles de Gaulle must
solve that problem.
Today some 72 hours after
Paris was liberated the city is
still in an uproar.
Wild-eyed youths waving rifles
and machine guns In one hand,
and driving careening automo
biles with the other, still roam
the streets.
There still are sporadic out
bursts of rifle fire and fist fights
among the French themselves.
The streets present no semblance
of order.
"Paris was not like this even
with the Germans," the city's old
Inhabitants say. With a shudder,
however, they assure one that
Paris was bad enough under the
Germans.
For De Gaulle, It was a chance
to prove to the world and par
ticularly to those antagonists in
states which opposed him as titu
lar head of the French that the
confidence and power which
Gen. Dwlght D. Eisenhower
placed in him were justified.
