suburbs is the plan for industrial and city business house

We were interested.' particularly.- in expressions bv

penning some $zy,uuu,uoo in a few months on canton

civic boosters, is zooming to now heights, was assigned
a measly quota of $183,500.
That must be humiliating to Jackson people. Here
Is a county simply bursting with population, where wages
are fabulous, where every piece of property is reportedly

Nazi Officer Takes Stand
In Stephan Treason Trial
DETROIT, July 1 (ff) Nazi
ait t one Lieutenant Hans
Peter Krug testified In federal
-, court here Tuesday that he es
caped from a Bowmanville. Ont..
prison camp last April In order
to "return to duty and1 to In

the shooting and murder of a
comrade officer."
Krug was the first govern
ment witness., against Max
Stephan, German-born Detroit
restaurant proprietor, who Is on
trial charged with treason be
cause of aid the government
charges he gave Krug when he
arrived In Detroit after his es
cape. After his testimony on the
shooting of the officer, District
Attorney John C. Lehr who is
prosecuting the case, declared
there was absolutely no sub
stantiation of his story.
The International Red Cross
committee inspects war prison
er camps, having Its represen
tatives make periodical visits on
which to base reports to the
country whose nationals are Im
prisoned. It was pointed out
that, however, . prisoners at
tempting to escape from prison
camps in various countries had
been shot and killed at times.
In his testimony, Krug told

went on a sight-seeing trip In
downtown Detroit, alone and
traveling by street car. Upon his

WASHINGTON. July 1
Paragraph stories have been
creeping into the press, suggest
ing the Canadian General An
drew George Latta McNaughton
might be chosen to head the
British and American armies in
vading Europe.
His choice would be a com
promise. Both Americans and
British would prefer to have one
of their own in command.
Not a lot is known of General
McNaughton here. He was an
artilleryman In the World war
and Canadian chief of staff for
six years before 1933. In tills
war he was in France, before
Dunkirk in 'command of the
first division. Lately he has been
In command of Canadian forces
in England. -
Next to production of equip
ment, the selection of generals
is the most vital matter of war.
The Libyan campaign is proving
this pointedly at the moment,
but it was true back in the
Civil war and beyond.
Obviously generals s h o u 1
not be chosen for any other rea.
son than superior ability not
for political reasons, not for
diplomatic compromises.
The man needed to head the
invasion of Europe must be the
best man in the armies of the
United Nations for that job. Un
til somebody arises and says
McNaughton qualifies on that
ground and proves it, there may
be some dissatisfaction with the
suggestion. .
Meanwhile General Mac-
Arthur, who is clearly the best
of . ours to show himself thus
far, and better than anyone the
British or Canadians h a v
shown, is defending Australia
a job which seems likely to re
quire less ingenuity than the
creation of a second front.
LIBYAN EXPLANATION
A semi-official British ac
counting for the Libyan disas
ter (which Is probably more
than semi) traces all their trou
bles back to General Ritchie'
premature counter attack three
weeks ago (June 4).
He did not realize the nazi
tank strength, having received
inadequate , -reconnaissance re
ports, and threw his tanks into
daring and risky maneuver
which shattered . British armor
power, : enabling Rommel to
seize the initiative. The British
have been on the run since.
Incidentally, after all the
commentating that has been
done about the magnificent Ger
man 88 mm tank guns, this ac
counting shows the superior
German fire power was not
based alone on this gun which
is a mobile artillery field piece
The Germans had 47 mm and 75
mm guns in their tanks, while
tne bulk of the British tanks
(Valentines and Matildas) car
ried a shorter range two pound
er.
This means our General
Grants, with their 75s are still
.match for the nazl any day,
In this connection the semi-of
ficial British report says:
The British had a number
of General Grant tanks, but not
enough of them."
Thus it appears that while
the British had superiority in
tanks (as well as planes, ships
and troops) they did not have
the right kind. Their big six-
pounder anil-tank guns began
to arrive after Rommel started
the campaign, but not in suffi
cient numbers.
EGYPT'S IMPORTANCE
No one here minimizes the
gravity of what the British have
been defending In Egypt. It Is
not just the Suez canal, but the
whole Middle East and its oil,
in fact, the future course of the
war.
If driven from Alexandria
and Cairo they would presuma
bly retire Into Palestine and
Syria (where they have a very
small force) to defend the
Mosul oil fields.
Such a defense could not
easily be maintained over a
long period, with Hitler possess
ing inner lines of supplies and
ndisputed hold on the whole
Mediterranean, which would be
come an axis lake. Turkey's
neutrality would come under
nazi supervision.
Hitler's acquisition of Middle
East oil, and a possible junc
ture later with the Japs,
through Persia and India, could
at least add a couple of years
on the war.
HELP FOR FRENCH
Communist sympathizers and
their "Dally Worker" are try
ing now to call even the state
department "nazl."
This government has attempt
ed to help the French along
moderately in order to keep the
French fleet and African bases
out of nazl hands. The policy
has worked fairly well so far.
