Message For Hitler
A new and serious complication is develop
ing for Hitler. It has been his practice to
turn over the job of policing conquered coun
tries chiefly to the Italians, leaving only
enough Germans on the scene to direct their
activities and see enough atrocities in the
Nazi pattern are conducted to impress both
the Italians and native populations with the
futility of disobedience or revolt.
While the Hitlerites were winning this ar
rangement seemed satisfactory enough from
the Axis viewpoint, especially as the Italians
were poor in battle but fair as policemen and
by so employing them the bulk of German
occupation forces could be drawn off for com
bat service.
Now that Hitler is losing and it is obvious
to Italian forces everywhere that Mussolini
cannot hope to keep Italy long in the war,
it is very likely that these police forces will
quit in similar large numbers that Italian
troops are surrendering in Sicily. These Ital
ian police are no more willing to be shot by
rebellious natives than by the on-sweeping
Allied forces in Sicily. It is not improbable
that even the forces which maintain the Italian
puppet regime in Croatia will join in the
coming widespread surrender.
The increasing unwillingness of Italians to
go on fighting for Hitler and policing his con
quered lands, coupled with the rapidly grow
ing spirit of open and armed revolt against
the Axis, plus what is happening in Russia
and cannot long be delayed in Italy, are
writing a message that even Hitler, self-blind
ad though he be, cannot fail to read.

Egg Shortage Next
Now it’s an egg shortage. By next winter,
an OPA apostle of gloom announces eggs for
civilian consumption will be as scarce as hens’
teeth, except for what will be dispensed
through a black market.
What with lend-lease and the armed forces
and hens generally laying fewer eggs from
this time on, there is some grounds for the
gentleman’s forecast. But we believe he paints
the outlook too black, after the proverbial
OPA practice.
It is an established fact that hens can be
induced to increase their production by im
proved feeding and especially by waking them
in the middle of the night.
Many a poultryman has installed electric
lights in his hen house and flashed them on
after his hens have had a comfortable nap.
Being gullible the hens mistake the night light
for daylight and after a peck or two at the
feed troughs troop off to their familiar nests
and lay an extra egg. When they have cackled
to their hearts’ content the lights are doused
and they return to their dreams until sunrise
when they hop down and lay again.
To be sure special feeding has an impor
tant part in this, but the important thing is
that hens are capable of better than average
laying records if properly persuaded.
Maybe the OPA ought to look into this
before it threatens the country with a critical
shortage.
__i
Civilian Housing Needs
The government has been so busy with its
program for housing industrial and war work
ers that the civilian need for dwellings has
gone by the board. Wilmington is no excep
tion to the rule. The situation is much the
same wherever war production and military
activities have caused a heavy population in
flux. Wilmington is, however, a fair exam
ple of what happens when the government
has its eye focused on but one phase of any
problem.
Wilmington is well provided with housing
for war workers. The local authority has
done an outstanding job. Serving as the fed
eral agency for construction and administra
tion of war housing it has attracted national
attention. But while its efficiency has drawn
high commendation, the federal authorities
have completely neglected the community’s
requirements for civilian housing and private
enterprise is blocked by the priorities pro
gram.
One consequence of this is that teachers
whose services will be essential when the new
school term opens will not sign contracts un
less they can be assured in advance of living
quarters.
The teachers are not willing to obligate
themselves to work in a city which is widely
known to lack rooms and homes and apart
ments enough for its civilian population even
by crowding roomers into quarters far above
their reasonable capacity.
In the broad scheme of things and with the
war in its present stage, it is not to be
denied that teachers are nondispensable ele
ments in the community and deserve as much
consideration as workers in war or defense
industries. They are as much entitled to com
fortable dwelling places as, for example, wel
ders, or more specifically as farmers to the
machinery required for the production of crops
which they still cannot buy because the gov
enment has been as blind to -their needs as
to civilian housing.
What is Wilmington’s school system to do
if it cannot provide homes for the additional
teachers needed when classes are resumed?
The question is by no means academic, and
requires answer at Washington.

Civil Army Too Large
Perhaps there is some good reason for the
employment of -3,029,000 persons in federal
civil jobs, but it would take a Leon Henderson
to state it, and then only he would under
stand it.
This figure is given out by the Civil Service
Commission, so there is no reason to doubt
its accuracy. During April increases in the
government’s civil staffs amounted to 23,000.
Nine per cent of the whole number work in
the Washington area. Eighty per cent of the
remaining 91 per cent are in the War, Navy
and Postoffice departments. With the excep
tion of the postoffice, this army of clerks,
supported by the public, is performing no
work directly connected with' the public. It
appears reasonable to believe that outside of
the postal service, half of them could be dis
charged without loss of efficiency. In fact,
half the number probably could do more and
better work than is now turned out if indi
vidual efficiency were the only qualification
for employment.
Of the nine per cent in Washington the
great majority are in bureaus devoting their
time and living on the people’s tax money
in undoing the work of clerks in other bureaus,
or doing it in a different way or merely du
plicating it. Certainly half of this army could
be sent home with profit to government and
to the financial benefit of the taxpayers.
It is impossible for the layman to see how
government can profitably employ 22,610 per
sons in the capital even in as great a war
emergency as this. Senator Truman might
look into the matter with good results.

World’s Greatest Battle
When Hitler launched his Orel-Belgorod of
fensive on July 5 his plan contemplated a
break-through somewhere along a 165 - mile
front. The plan failed. Hitler found it im
possible effectively to pierce the Russian de
fense. He was halted with heavy losses and
is in danger of losing Orel, which has come
within range of Russian artillery. Its capture
would endanger all Axis forces on the Eastern
front and probably force a general retreat.
This Nazi thrust on a small sector was the
spark that threw the whole Russian front into
action. Not content with halting the enemy’s
attack at the point of origin, the Russians on
July 12 opened a counter - offensive which,
spreading like a prairie fire, has started fight
ing from Leningrad to the Sea of Azov, with
from seven to nine million men reported en
gaged on each side.
One feature of this situation which invites
study is that the order of fighting has been
reversed. Heretofore, the Axis has made its
gains in summer and the Russians in winter.
Now Hitler is not only unable to advance in
the season best suited to his purpose but the
Russians seize the advantage when they usu
ally are least able to withstand attack, and
not only repulse the Germans but forge ahead
on their own account.
Still another aspect of the present battle
which bears study is the size of the forces
involved. If the estimates are anywhere near
accurate, the Battle of Russia is by far the
greatest ever fought. It may be that the top
figure—18,000,000 men—is an exaggeration, but
it could be shaved down considerably and
still leave the largest number of soldiers ever
in combat. The history of wars contains noth
ing to compare with it. When it is finished
the sacrifice of human life, of resources and
industrial production will be great enough to
set the world back a generation.
Is it possible to advance a better argument
for stable peace than the price now being
paid for victory on the Russian front? Can
there be any doubt that another great war
would bankrupt the world?
If the world is to be saved from another
global conflict there must be not only uncon
ditional surrender of the Axis but such a
strong world police force and capable^peace
administration that the conditions which made
this war possible could not again arise.
-V
Don’t Put It Off
The time draws near—too confounded near
—when auto owners will have to explain how
come when their winshields do not display
a new owner’s tax stamp at a cost of $5.
Congress adjourned too soon to repeal the
tax although there is no doubt that most
members of that august body believe the tax
unjust and, in view of gasoline rationing, un
warranted. There is no escape for owners
and they must have the stamp in plain sight
by August 1 or expect to be nabbed by the law.
These stamps may be purchased at the
post office and it would be wise to buy them
at once if for no other reason than to escape
a long wait in line at the last moment.
It’s just one of those things that has to
be done and the sooner it’s disposed of the
easier it will be for everybody.
Fair Enough
(Editor’s Note.—The Star and the News accepts no
responsibility for the personal views of Mr. Pegler,
and often disagree with them as much as many of
his readers. His* articles serve the good purpose of
making people think.
By WESTBROOK PEGLER
NEW YORK.—I never believe anyone in our
national government who undertakes to say
that the man-hour* or days lost by strikes in
any given time was only X per cent of the
hours or days worked or of any other poten
tial. I disbelieve everything they say about
strikes, because the guilt is largely theirs
and the Department of Labor, which whips
up the statistics and comparisons is theirs,
too. You can’t expect any new dealer to give
the new deal the worst of it in this very im
portant and sensitive matter. Another reason
is that they may mean one thing by a strike
when the rest of us mean any concerted stop
page of work caused by a union or conducted
under union auspices.
We can be pretty sure that they wouldn’t
recognize a strike and enter it in their sta
tistics in the operation of that device, hit upon
a year or so ago as a dodge around the no
strike pledge of Green and Murray known as
the committee meeting, in which the hands
are forbidden to do any work for days at a
stretch because they are supposed to be in
session discussing the rights and grievances.
[ am familiar with one such stoppage which
lasted around the clock for 10 days, and in
an industry connected with the war effort,
too, whose promoters lied up and down that
there was no strike. There had been a strike
a short time before and this had been settled
with concessions on both sides, the union fi
nally waiving its demand for a closed shop.
However, soon after work resumed, the un
ion bosses decided that they didn’t want any
non-union men to get the benefit of the ad
vantages won by their strike. Having made
an open shop agreement, they seemed to be
up against it but just for luck they called a
meeting and strung it out for 10 days during
which the union men were theoretically sit
ting in their hall talking things out but actu
ally were just loafing around the beer joints
or fixing the sink at home.
There were no demands on the employer,
there was no dispute to certify the situation
Lo any government agency and there was no
strike call so the Department of Labor prob
ably wouldn’t pour that great loss of man
hours and production into the machine and
mix it up in the totals which are thrown at
us every now and again, sometimes by Army
or Navy officers, who get their material from
the great central source and know their ears
will be slapped down if they get fresh.
What reason has anyone to believe that the
Department of Labor would give honest in
formation to the President or anyone else
on hour and production losses due to strikes
and the subterfuges having the same effect?
This Department and the Labor Relations
Board used to encourage strikes, and the La
bor Relations Board even helped foment them
because that was part of the new deal pro
gram. Then the pinch came and the boys
who had been running these disturbances,
amounting in many cases to lawless insur
rections against government but under gov
ernment patronage, had developed a h a b i t
which they couldn’t break over night so the
stoppages continued even though the nix was
on in Washington and Green and Murray were
bumbling about their sacred pledge and ex
cusing the proportion of strikes which couldn’t
be denied or disguised, as regrettable excuses
by good-natured and wholly patriotic but mis
guided and overenthusiastic local leaders.
This made the administration look bad and
soldiers overseas began to write bitter letters
back so then we began to hear that, although
there were new strikes in the papers every
day, affecting a great variety of plans and
projects, the loss was insignificant.
I doubt that we ever will know just what
the loss has been. Certainly this administra
tion is not going to accuse itself with an
honest statement, counting in all the stoppages
and giving a truthful reckoning of the pro
duction that didn’t come off. And, by the
time we get a new government, probably not
before 1948, and all this will be water over the
dam and moreover, when the new dealers go
out they pi their figures so that nobody
can establish the truth, or even take the evi
dence with them.
There are very good reasons why it would
be smart politics to monkey with the statis
tics just now to make the unions and the
new deal look good, and one of the strongest
is the effect that would be created in com
mon citizens released from the Army on the
strict condition that they go to work in war
plants and on others who are given their
choice of such work or military service on
the representation that we are short of man
power. If we can afford strikes, and we have
had hundreds of them since Pearl Harbor,
then there is neither any need to chain any
individual civilian to any job nor any justice
in doing so.
And, finally, I keep in mind an experience
which Hugh Johnson related to me. When
he was running NRA they sent him an econo
mist, which is the new deal term for all book
keepers with a communistic slant, who later
became one of our most bumptious and tru
culent rulers. Hugh had a problem one day
and wanted some figures on which to base

Raymond Clapper Says:
Axis Suddenly Acquires
Respect For Monuments
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA. (By Wireless)
Word gets back here that the Axis
is complaining about the bombing
of Rome. The Axis line, as we
hear about it here, is that the "Al
lied barbarians are destroying cen
ters of ancient culture and re
ligious shrines.”
Two things might be pointed out
to keep the record straight for
the benefit oi anybody who might
be concerned lest there be some
grain of truth in the Axis propa
ganda.
First, we did no tbomb any
thing in Rome except railroad
yards and similar military tar
gest. We did it in daylight so we
could see what we were doing.
We did it under the most rigid
discipline of precision bombing. In
Pantelleria we allowed only 1000
yards between our bombs and our
own landing forces. That was a
sufficient margin of safety. The
nearest church to our military tar
gets in Rome was farther away
than that. I hope that our censor
ship will allow photographs from
the raid to oe published, because
they will answer a 11 questions
more convincingly than any of us
on the raid can answer them. The
truth about it is so clear that we
need not worry about the misrep
resentations having any lasting ef
fect.
Second, it might be pointed out
that the Axis concern over cul
ture and the sanctity of religious
institutions must have been sud
denly acquired when nobody was
looking. It seems io me I remem
ber seeing in London only a few
weeks ago that buildings all around
St. Paul’s were down—that is the
financial section of London. The
Germans tried to wipe it out in
the big blitz two years ago. I also
remember that I saw severe dam
age to large St. Thomas’ hospital
on the Thames near Lambeth
palace.
Obviously I make no compari
sons, but the historic fact is that
Lambeth paiace is the home of
the Archbishop of Canterbury,
head of the Church of England,
and it was in the midst of the
bombed area. Nearby offices of
the London County Council were
hit, also the Parliament buildings
were hit, along with Westminster
Abbey just across the street. Any
body in London can see the ruins
of the exquisite Queen’s Concert
Hall near the British Broadcast
ing building All who walk down
Piccadilly can see the ruins of
the beautiful Wren Church of St.
James The University of London
buildings, now occupied by the
British Ministry of ‘ Information,
have been hit.
Of course, all that proves noth
ing except that the Germans set
out to bomo London indiscrimin
ately. In war you can’t complain
much about that. There is no such
thing as ma'ung war reasonable,
or very humane, or respectfulof
anything. War is a brutal institu
tion with one purpose—to defeat
his decision so he asked his econ
omist to run them up for him.
When he read the report Hugh
said, “Well, 1 must have been
wrong. This report makes me
change my mind.”
_ “Oh,’ the guy said brightly,
“don’t do that. Hold everything
till tomorrow and I will give you
some figures proving your point.”
the enemy—and you can’t make
a game of cricket out of it. The
real question is whether mass
bombing is efficient but that is
something else.
The American Air Command
seems to feel that mass bombing
eems to feel that mass bombing
is rather wasteful. So the Amer
ican Air Force works on the prin
ciple of prec;sion bombing of a
restricted target, knocking out the
selected area completely so we
won’t have to repeat. We also
work on the theory that the quick
est way to oreak enemy morale
is to administer- military defeat,
hence bombs should be used to
that end so far as possible.

Daily Prayer
FOR FOLLOWING LEADERSHIP
Dimly we trace, across the
earth’s wide field of events, the
stately steppings of the Son of
God. We perceive that the king
ly Christ is at work, turning and
overturning, for the coming of His
Kingdom. In awe and wonder we
behold a whole world being trans
formed. Our hearts reverently
murmur, "Thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory.”
Our poor vision cannot pierce
through the meaning of events;
but we pray that our feet may
follow where Thou art leading. In
this hour of destiny, O King of
kings, vouchsafe unto us thoughts
wide enough and high enough to
understand at least the fringes of
Thy providence; and courageous
faith to seek to walk Thy way.
Free us, we entreat Thee, from
all petty, timid and sordid mo
tives; that in the very greatness
of God we may bear our part in
this sublime struggle. Thou hast
gone forth to war, O King of
kings; may we follow in Thy train,
loyal to the uttermost, and im
bued with Thy Spirit. Amen.—W.

“MERCY IN HELL,” by Andrew
Geer (Whittlesey; $2.75).
Capt. Andrew Geer volunteered
with a hundred others in Septem
ber, 1941, for duty with the Amer
ican Field Service. He broke in
in Syria, he served through the
great British retreat in the West
ern desert, and he ends his story
with Rommel running toward his
Waterloo. His “Mercy in Hell” is
a good deal more than the record
of a couple of American Field
Service units; it is also the story
of the British Eighth Army seen
from the side of the wounded and
the dying.
It is a sturdy, and sometimes a
merry book. Furthermore, it is
one of the very few stories out of
this war that tells the truth about
the men. In the unit that set out
from Halifax there were, as there
are in every such unit, a few fools,
a few lushes, a few cowards. Cap
tain Geer does not name these, but
he does describe some of the in
cidents that accompanied the
weeding out process. This does
nothing to dim the heroic lustre
and all that. It does make the
whole proceeding seem much less
t
like a reflection of Noel Coward’s
“Cavalcade,” and more like the
story of human beings.
For all the humor in the book,
and it is considerable, the story
also makes you see the vast seri
ousness of the men. In a tiny
headquarters in the Near East
Geer reported, and asked many
questions. Later he was shown
his bunk, and the officer made him
show his papers. Two .more offi
cers were at headquarters; later
each of these made the same de
mand.
Tobruk’s fall makes magnificent
material, and the sense of strange
ness that lay over all the desert
warfare is strong in the book
The American Field Service had
to prove itself, and this it did with
out resenting the need. Geer's uni*,
worked up a reputation for re
sourcefulness—and it was work.
Drivers fought for tough assign
ments, and got them. They gave
away their own small comforts
without a thought, they laughed at
men firing captured batteries by
the aid of beer bottles and main
strength, and they saved thou
sands of lives. It makes a good,
heartening story. ]
