AT r FRANK JENKINS News Behind the Nevs By PAUL MJU.LON WASHINGTON. June 2 In almost the exact words of this column of June 16, a senate military affair subcommittee (Kilgorc) i- announced June 22 that the t- jfM.. civilian war economy is fast ,. U.T 'K disintegrating and " domestic i 4 fe front crisis ' has arisen. ..tSST-JtWj !? The committee has discov--v' ? tred wnat wa already evident Kj-.. to every citizen of the coun aSS' iS T coming in contact with the '"TNe" domestic war effort. 5a. 4 Anyone who has ridden on rii!'-'- trains has noticed the projres axii: ..e disintegration of trans- MALLCH porUUon service to the, point where now soldiers sire.ch out in the titles to sleep or fold up ill forcidcen vestibules. Women with crying babies sit on suitcases throughout the night. Cars are jammed and packed to tne point where a wreck wouid create a national scandal. You can see the saoie Situation in hotels, restaurants, taxicabs, or grocery stores where services have been cut as much as 75 per cent, while prices have been boosted as much as 100 per cent, and continue to rise. Taxicabs load as many as five passengers, or as many as they can before the long-suffering public complains ' but, of course, there has been no reduction in fares. Instead, fees for all services have in creased. The public obviously is being shoved around in every phrase of civilian life, paying some times two, three, and four times the regular price for greatly inferior service where service is available at all. ..: - Government Instigated . THE government started this, urging civilians to accept discomfort as a patriotic duty, but this patriotic duty has been commercialized by business to the point where now the public is .; required to accept anything thrown) at it, and ; pay whatever is asked. -. The selfish, commercial exploitation of citi ; zens in the name of patriotism has reached the , ; point where it can no longer be ignored, even : in Washington, where practically anything can be ignored. The committee is not so specific as the above cited incidents, but it mentions re .! curring strikes, gasoline shortages, food produc tion, fuel restrictions, as leading to "serious . Impairment of civilian morale." The remedy suggested by the committee is ; somewhat along the same lines as in the col- - umn. I recommended that the Byrnes War ; Mobilization board assume complete control ', over the sagging and conflicting government agencies and work out a complete domestic war economy limiting food for lend-lease, if neces ; sary; promoting increased foods production; ef fecting economies in the defense services, etc. ,'' The committee points in the same direction, demanding that the Byrnes over-all control ap- ' point a board on requirements and another representing -management, labor, and agricul ture, to meet at regular intervals and work ' along these new lines of endeavor. It Is a sensational document even in the generalized terms in which it was written, al though it does not seem to have stimulated much public attention. It says flatly that unless something is done, our civilian war effort will collapse and it holds that "a solid home front Is an absolute necessity." ' "Never in the present war have we had a genuine requirements committee to scrutinize .carefully all military, lend-lease, and civilian requirements," It says. It points out, as I did, that the Byrnes com mittee has all the power in the world but whether that reorganization will amount to anything depends solely on how strongly the committee now acts. It "must eliminate contests for power or the maintenance of prerogatives (among government agencies) which have been the cause of disintegration," the committee says. Manpower Demands ON manpower, it demands "forthright estab lishment of over-all (democratic) manpower planning" not drafting labor or arbitrarily uprooting of the population. It follows the same line as War Undersecretary Patterson, who, only the day before, complained that a i f,a mM J 1 H I L. DJJLJ 1raS,-l IA.7Jr. vnts A Tall Tala Only . , . No war stuff this trip.

Subsi dies illuminate the lack of policy." The Kilgore committee sometimes has been regarded as an advance trumpeting battalion for administration action. Only a day after it advocated formation of the Byrnes over-all con trol, Mr. Kooseveit acted along similar lines. This time, it seems even more certain that its recommendation may herald strong executive steps, because the need is even more obvious. The War Today ihile DeVVitt MacKenzie is on vacation, this column is being written by Max Hill, former cmcX of 'lr.e Associated Fress bureau in Tokyo). By MAX KILL pHZ axis still is . worrying and guessing I about what sort of an attack the allies in tend to launch, against Germany or Italy this summer in Europe. Unidentified but evidently competent observ ers in Switzerland told Thomas F. Hawkins of The Associated Press that in their opinion the .cor-stont and devastating air attacks on Ger .many might well be the answer. Germany herself is the "second front" not some distant coastal point, from which it would and thousands of lives to actually . . , . The last, war finally was decided by the crusoing weignt of American production. We ere less than a month away from the time It took us to break . Germany in 1918, and it such a collapse is. likely again But our output now dwarfs that of the previous -war in every respect, and from Lon don last night came the encouraging news that munitions in Great Britain for the first three months of 1943 was 40 per cent over the same period in 1942. Axis production, on the other hand, is bound to be on the downgrade because of the tons of bombs dropped on her vitally essential factories and transportation lines. It is no wonder Ger many must husband her remaining strength. Our fliers have returned from their raids over the Ruhr with stories of the damage done, but the best evidence that Germany Is being hurt and hurt badly comes from the axis radio itself, and from the neutral capitals of Bern and Stockholm. . Rome Radio Quotes JUST a few quotes taken from the Rome radio of last summer are enough to show how definitely the picture has changed in our follow: "It is now clear to everyone that the Med iterranean and the adjoining areas in the Middle East constitute the focal zone of the war.

Now they permit the Italian and German armies in Africa to eliminate the word "impossible" from their vocabulary." Now the German radio . observes sourly: "What the population of these areas (the Ruhr) It is quite possible likely is a better word that this is only the beginning, and that attacks in the future will be even greater. Broadcasts from London to the conquered peoples of France, Belgium and Holland have urged them from potential targets, such as lactones which produce war materials. These broadcasts have told the Germans as well as their helpless slaves that this is only the start. Perhaps that is the reason the Ger mans finally have begun to admit the great damage and terror of their people. They must prepare them for what is to come. the working axmen, and drop ped one over the head of each.

From one to three miles an hour velocity of air-motion avoids a draft and cools the body satisfactorily, as well as carry ing bacteria to higher levels so that the rays of the sun may kill them. The weight of the air as it presses against the earth varies greatly according to altitude, the lowlands meaning an increased amount of pressure. Normal peo ple may have trouble in the mountains with giddiness and light-headedness which is call ed "mountain-sickness."
