U UAIyCOLM ipt-ET L I if I 1 News fleMnc the News Br PAUL KALLOK WASHINGTON. July J No one really surprised it th WallaceJones outbreak except President Roosevelt (he said). even though Roosevelt'e own edict (lest Aueust 21) banning official (crapping in public. It is an old private ieua. The secret behind it is that Vice President Wallace has a Mank check on Jesse Jones RAF to draw any amount he wants for practically any pur chase of "strategic' materials unless Mr. Jones can find MALLOW some defect in the requisition. One of Mr. Wallaces associates has testified h expects to buy 12,000,000,000 worth of items in the next year, and already he has paid out $1,600,000,000, so he Is doing a very big busi ness, all in secret with only fragmentary re ports, and under an authority which was given to him originally by an executive order from FDR, not by act of congress. Ia the beginning, by law of congress. Jones was doing the purchasing on recommendations from Mr. Wallace's bureau of economic war fare, but Wallace slipped down to the White House and got an executive order requiring Jones, for more than a year now, to five him any money he wants. This little private economic warfare that Mr. Wallace has been conducting largely through bis assistant, Milo Perkins, really represents the extreme left New Deal element in action, while Jones and the RFC stand on the opposite New Deal pole. One of Mr. Jones' associates has testified that neither Wallace nor Perkins go to the trouble of signing the requisitions any more, but that these drafts coma from Perkins' as sistant, Morris Rosenthal, or even from Rosen thal's assistant. aaa Senatorial Inttrest HE im-advertised Wallace-Perkinsjlosenthal economic war lately has been subjected to in juries from the members of the senate banking committee, the Byrd committee and some others. No funds for which Wallace has asked have been held up. Some of the senators had merely begun asking questions, mostly in ex ecutive session, as to what Wallace was doing with all those billions. This growing interest of the senators appar ently was attributed by the vice president to 'his ancient adversary, Mr. Jones, whom he '. suspects of trying to regain control of his bureau. Personally, I do not doubt that Mr. Jones could have primed some senators about the way Wallace has been running his loose end of the war, but as far as the public record shows, there is nothing to prove it. Jones' ' comment before the Byrd committee several weeks ago was only mildly disapproving. Furthermore, the latest interest of the Byrd committee in Wallace was started by Senator Scrughara, of Nevada, who did not like the way . Wallace was accumulating stockpiles of metals all around the world, not because the materials were needed, but to keep them out : of the hands of the axis or for diplomatic favor in such places as Spain, where the price it reported 'to have been fixed by Spain at a figure designed to curry the favor of the Span, ish government. , The Wallace-Jones war is likely, therefore, to be long one, and an indecisive one unless congress should decide to take the whole matter out of Mr. Wallace's band and return It to Mr. Jones, who incidentally did not do so well at it when be bad it before. aaa Nor Press Inspired NEITHER this nor any of the other recently raging official controversies was either in spired or promoted by newspapers, as the presi dent implied. No newsman asked either Wal lace or Jones for statement. They volunteered tbeir views of each other. Likewise, when Sec retary Ickes, or Under Secretaries Patterson and Forrestal denounced Rubber Ciar Jeffers or other government officials in other govern ment departments, they submitted their an nouncements in open press conferences. All have been only too happy to express themselves tn public even if in violation of the president's order against public controversies. A well recognized White House technique of of long standing seems to require that when ever the president gets in a tight place publicly, he tries to push the trouble off upon the news papers, not on any specific newspaper or col umnist, but just "the newspapers." His spot this time is as tight as he bat ever occupied, but its pin-like circumference was drawn by the Chester Davis resignation and the over-riding of his Smith-Connally labor bill veto by congress, neither of which was ordered by newspapers or columnists. The trouble lies so clearly In high admin istrative confusions and conflicts, it is hardly necessary for either the newspapers or the col umnists to defend themselves against a blow so wide of the mark. . The War Today By DeWTTT MacKENZIE WHILE we are awaiting developments in the war theaters I have on band an in triguing question which you might like to try your hands at answering, and it starts like this: "Doesn't Hitler know that he will be beaten in the long run?" When that was submitted to me I replied without hesitation: "Of course he does. And so does the Ger- man high command, for they are top-flight soldiers, and the cards patently are against them." "Well, then," persisted my questioner, "why doesn't Hitler quit now, and save unnecessary bloodshed and suffering for his country?" That's not so easy to answer, is it; when you sit down to figure it out, a lot of different angles rush to the mind. The first thing that struck me was that my reply hadn't been com plete and that therefore I was starting from a faulty premise. I should have said that Hitler and his mili tary experts know they are beatenbarring some unforeseen development in the nature of a near miracle. The odda arc vastly against them, but there's always a possibility that fate might give them a break. .-And so long as a whisper of chance remains, just so long will the bocbs hang on unless frenzy overcomes morale. What then is there to encourage . them in holding out? In answering this it's mighty im portant for us to remember that any straw is a life-raft to a drowning man. In brief we may say that any development which is unfavorable to the allies is grabbed by the enemy as a potential means of salvation. Straws of Hope JUST as we watch the bocha eagerly to see what hurts he has sustained, and whether his morale is breaking, so ha watches us. And in his despairing condition he is bound to magnify little straws of hope. Take this for illustration, yesterday London, in reporting on that damage dona to the Ger man industrial city of Dortmund by bombing, cited among other things that two collieries had been heavily damaged and probably put out of production. That's an important item which will help to beat Hitler. Two collieries my hat! We get satisfaction out of that, white at the same time our domestic news reports record that some 100,000 coal miners still are idle in this country. Birmingham tells us that this has resulted in cut of 20 per cent in Alabama steel produc tion. It's said the reduction will mean a loss of 2000 ton of war-vital steel every 24 hours. How much hope do you suppose the axis extracts from a grave situation like our coal strike? That's enough to give the shaky morale of an entire nation a fillip. Thus do the nazis take fresh courage from every breakdown in a vital industry in an allied . country. Strikes, race riots, political squabbles, and what not in th United Nations are choice bits to be rolled under the facile tongue of nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels. His business is to make big issues out of little ones and he's pretty smart. STEEL MILLS PLEDGE TO By ROBERT GRUB PITTSBURGH, July 2 (JP) Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the war production board (WPB) wound up a two-day tour of Pittsburgh's "Victory Valley" steel mills today after receiv ing pledges from labor and management to help boost steel production in the next six months by 2,000,000 tons. Nelson and other high-ranking WPB officials launched a nationwide "steel for victory" drive by calling upon the in dustry for a "renewed produc tion effort going far beyond any thing we have yet achieved." To San Mateo Vernon Fran cis, 2125 Reclamation avenue, accompanied by his daughters, Shirley and Sharon, left on Wed nesday evening for San Mateo, Calif., where they will visit with '-., his sister, Mrs. Edward Maher. Shirley will remain for two months, but Francis and Sharon will be gone for eight days. He also plan to visit his brother, Elton rrenci. in San Jose. " i EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) quoted in London it is reported that: German industry has LOST the production race essential to victory (although it it added that Germany has plenty of fight left.) Germanv has nimil har duction peak, with a steady present fall in steel production, a sharply narrowing margin of oil reserves, inability to replace vital railway eouinmeni mrf in duction in tank and plana out put. QERMAN steel production, these reports say. was at an annual rate of 25 million tons in January 1942, but by January 1943 was down to 92.6 of this total and by May 1943 down fa 89.8. The normal German and Ital ian need for oil, it is asserted, is about 151 million tons per year in periods of comparative lull in the fighting, with this total kiting upwards in periods of heavy fighting. Germany ,1s described as now getting about 5 million tons from the Ruman ian fields and about 6 million ton from synthetic production, with a present reserve of about 3 million tons. That Is to say, TOTAL AN NUAL NEED in excess of 15 mil lion tons and present annual supply (including reserves) of about 14 million. These reports, if anywhere near accurate, are immensely significant. VflRGINIO GAYDA (the voice Of Mussolini) is ranoriaH from Switzerland today to be wiling me Italians they have nothing; to eain bv auittinr fh war that even if thev male I separate peace the remaining bel- ngerants will "make Italy a bat tle ground." In other words, they're lost if thev do and 1nt if they don't. His purpose, of course, is to scare them into continuing to fight for their nazi and fascist masters.

July 2 P Mora than 30 charges ranging from general Incompetency to endangerment of the national security were made against tno federal communications commis sion (FCC) by the Cox committee today as It began public hear ings in its house-ordered invest igation of the agoncy. The charge were listed in committee documents made pub lic by Eugene L. Garey, general counsel for the committee head ed oy Rep Eugene Cox tD-Ga.) Included were letters from Garey to the secretaries of war and navy requesting their at tendance later in the hearings, and a recommendation from the Joint chiefs of staff that the president halt all military and quasi-military radio intelligenca activities of the. FCC. AH the charges and docu ments which Garey produced for the hearings were based, lie said, "on facts'' heretofore cstabliih ed through investigation by this committee." Throughout were references to alleged efforts by FCC Chairman James L. Fly, with whom Repre sentative Cox has been at oddi for some time, to dominate the entire radio field and to thwart the desires of army and navy officials with respect to com munication facilities. I There also was a reference to Fly's activities "in defeating the I Army-Navy and Hawaiian broad casting stations' voluntary pre- I Pearl Harbor joint efforts to r- ; range for the elimination of Jap anese language broadcasts in Hawaii, and the contribution-of such resulting failurtf to the Pearl Harbor disaster."
