Give and Take on Tires
A N appeal to motorists of this area to restrict their tire
TV re-capping orders to needed equipment at this time,
in order that all necessary and emergency shortages may
be filled, was issued by the county tire rationing committee
Thursday.
J At a meeting of the committee, it was brought out
that many people, with their cars fully equipped with
good tires, are rushing in with additional orders that take
precedence over other emergency needs. In these critical
times, it was stated, selfish tactics should be sacrificed
for the general good. People well supplied with tires
should hold back with their new orders until others, not
so well off, can catch up.
J Whether such an appeal will have an effect remains
t$ be seen. It is a fair and reasonable request, but it is
possible many people are not fully aware of the fair and
reasonable requirements of the times, and are motivated
by selfish factors that may be all right in normal periods
but should be thrown out of the window just now.
3 It is going to take a community-wide program of "give
and take" to make available rubber go around. That is
clear to all who will inform themselves on the situation.
: What Do They Know About It?
ITALIAN newspapers are urging a "benevolent, intelli-
ugent neutrality" in South America.
The Italians talk as if neutrality to them was a beau
tiful and righteous state of affairs, to be respected and
honored by all. That's a nice way to look at neutrality,
bat it's not the way the Italians look at it
They maintained a phony neutrality through months
of the European war, giving every aid they could to one
side of the conflict and finally jumping in on what they
bfelieved to be the "kill." They made a mockery of the
word "neutrality."
Furthermore, they and their axis pals have collaborated
i$ preying on nations which have tried to maintain an
honest neutrality. Several years ago, Abyssinia was a
neutral, and Mussolini and his Italians violated that neu
trality with cruel and savage violence. The list of would-be
neutrals who were preyed upon after that by the axis
ppwers is tragically long.
Italy is hardly the outfit to be preaching about neu
trality.
WASHINGTON, jan B Econ
omists swooned when Mr.
Roosevelt's new deal relief debt
reached the giddy total of $40,
000,000.000 a year or so back.
None flicker a whisker at his
war program to nearly treble it
at $110,000,000,000. All know
it can be done now, and easily,
war has brought wholly
changed financial circumstances
to the treasury. It was one thing
to get a financially depressed na-
tion to pay for what seemed to
some an unjustified accumula
tion of debt years and a wholly
different matter to rally patriotic
support in an outraged country
for all-out financing.
There are 30,000,000 families
in the United States. If each
family could purchase about
$1330 of defense bonds on an
average, the needed $40,000,000,
000 of our new debt will be fi
nanced. It is now around $70.-
000,000,000. Some families would
be able to take far less, but oth
ers might make up the deficit
by purchasing more. The treas
ury has foolishly put a $3750
limit on each individual's an
nual purchase, but it is possible
to buy one such bond for each
member of the family husband,
wife, son, daughter and perhaps
the treasury will soon awaken
and remove the limit.
With the national income near-
ing the $120,000,000,000 mark it
apparent $40,000,000,000 of
additional debt can be raised one
way or another, without much
difficulty.

World War 1 'Cinderella
Fleet' Roams Sea Again
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (UP)
The gallant and hard-bitting
"Cinderella Fleet" of submarine
chasers which fought the Ger
man U-boat menace in World
war I Is being greatly augment
ed to strike the same enemy
again, the navy disclosed today.
; The number of these boats,
known as "PCs," in service or
on the ways Is a secret, but the
navy used the adjective "vastly"
in describing the fleet's enlarge
ment During 1917-18 the navy
ouui .u 01 these boats, of which
100 were manned by the French,
t Sub-chaser craft are of t w o
types no feet and 170 feet
They are armed with three-inch
guns, machine guns and depth
charges. Shipyards throughout
we country, both coastal and in
land, will turn out the new
"PCi."
Capt A, Loring Swasey, USN
retired, designed the original
"Cinderellas" for World war I
and now he is In charge of the
patrol section of the bureau of
ships to carry on the Job he
started in 1917.
In World war I, the "Cinder
ella" boats guarded the Ameri
can shores from Alaska to the
Gulf of Mexico and up to Nova
Scotia. They hunted U-boats
over a vast expanse of salt
water. A squadron served with
the allied fleet in the Med iter
ranean and sank two submarines
of the central powers in the at
tack on the Austrian naval base
at Durazzo. The same unit help
ed bottle up the remaining en
emy ships in the Adriatic.
I Joscphus Daniels, World war
secretary or the navy, described
in "uur Navy at War" some of
tne daring exploits of the "Cin
derella" boats which made them
subject for fiction; non-fiction
and drama:
The French manned PC28, sen-
raiea irom its sister ships dur
ing a violent winter storm in the
Atlantic in 1918, was feared
lost It was badly crippled and
Out of provisions and lubricating
Oil. Crew members rationed
food and water and used butter
and salad oil in the engines un
til that was exhausted. The ship
was leaking and food stores
dwindled fast The crew used
all available blankets, sheets and
tablecloths to rig sails. For a
month the PC28 plodded through
the seas at 4 knots until she
reached the Azores.
JMen who manned the PC boats
1817-18 took delight in in-
venting codes of their own to
baffle the Germans. "Quack
quack quack" was one signal for
aiiacK tor a squadron of three.
Quack! High-low-Jack!" meant
for another squadron to operate
at once. Another group called
itself "Corn-meal-mush" and the
signal "Quack! Corn-meal-mush"
was believed to have fooled U-
boat commanders completely.
Each group had its own original
signals.
equipped with listening de
vices, the PCs proved the best
means of stopping U-boat at
tacks. They were rough, un
comfortable, occasionally filled
with smoky fumes which nause
ated the crew and made a de
stroyer seem like a luxury liner.
.But they were dependable.
The boats came out of the war
with Hying colors and dramati
cally. A group of them raced
home from Europe while the na
tion waited breathlessly to see
wmcn ship would win. A half
dozen bested existing sneed rec
ords. The new ones being built
Dota the no and 170-foot ships
will have a much greater speed
and a range far greater than the
500 miles of the World war I
ships, the navy revealed.
Some of these old boats still
are in operation. Rechristened
Mary Elizabeth, Antonio or
Uncle Sam, they have been used
as fishing boats in New England
and west coast waters. Lines
and fish tubes have replaced
depth charges on the cluttered
decks. Nothing more menacing
than hungry gulls follow them
now.
INTEREST PROBLEM
Such a large debt does not now
forecast eventual economic dis
aster, as it might have when our
struggling uncertain national in
come was around $70,000,000,000
a few years back. All it means
now is that the treasury will
have to raise about S2, 500,000,
000 a year hereafter to pay in
terest. The debt itself may never
be paid off in any future yet
foreseeable. It will merely be
refinanced and carried indefi
nitely. All the treasury will have to
worry about, therefore, is rais
ing the annual interest. That
means, in effect, the future liv-
Jng standard of this country can
never be permitted to slip back
into tne kind of depression we
had before, else the treasury
wouia nave difficulty raising in
terest money.
Such a debt thus imposes
greater obligation on government
to keep this country prosperous
in tne post-war period when
world markets will be reopened.
RUSSIA AND JAPAN
There is every likelihood that
Russia will be in war with Japan
on the far eastern front in the
spring. Such a conflict would re-
ueve the Jap pressure on Sinea
pore, if the British can hold out
that long in Malaya.

NAZI STORM TROOPS
FALL B, WAY-SIDE
BERN, Switzerland. Jan. 8 (SP,
Reliable information arriving
from Germany indicated today
that Adolf Hitler's brown shirted
storm troopers no longer play
an important role in the nazi
party and may soon cease to
function altogether.
The organization rallcH th
S. A. (Sturm Arbeitung) has al
ways borne the brunt of the
panys heavy work since early
days. It was said to be slipping
since shortly after the besinnins
oi ine campaign against Russia
me iirsi indication came
when the organization's news
paper, uie S. A., ceased publica
tion in August with no official
explanation. Members who in
quired were told simply that the
action was taken because of a
paper shortage.
Next came an order callimr a
large percentage of S. A. men to

instead of assigning them storm
troopers' duties as in previous
campaigns. They now wear army
uniforms and are mixed in the
same units with ordinary soldiers.
The most recent move was the
secret order forbidding S. A.
men to hold meetings. No ex
planation was given.
A neutral observer, however.
who has Just come from Berlin,
said the real reason was the fact
that some of the storm troop
meetings had turned into forums
for criticizing the conduct of the
Russian campaign.
(The S. A., the backbone of
nazi party organization since the
party's birth, formed a party
militia which aided Hitler's rise
to power. Capt. Ernest Roehm.
chief of the storm troopers, was
executed in the nazi blood nurse
June 30, 1934.)
