's War Moves
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst
Intensified allied air raids on western Europe and
Italy are serving
an even more useful purpose than
the damage to war factories and communications,
great as that is.
The raids have a direct bearing on the war in North. Africa, which itself is a prelude to the’ in-
vasion of Europe.
They constitute notification to
| Hitier that he docs not dare strip his European air strength for service
in Africa,
leavinz himself increasingly vulnerable in the Reich and in
the countries he lias dominated. The range and size of the attacks in
“last few days give convincing
fantaonce of the :'riking power of allies. ‘They hit from lower Italy to rorthwe:iern France, the
Hathenianas and :« uthwestern GerBl winte: weather did not
keep them grounded. Even the most enthusiastic proponents of air power do not con-
tend that it alone can win the war. |
It is quite true, nevertheless, that Hitler cannot win without air dominance. That he does not have, and cannot now hope to have. According to Washington, United States air production alone already exceeds that. of the axis, and is growing. Hitler might achieve temporary ‘air superiority on one selected front by
| concentrating his - force “there, but
he has too many fronts to cover. He has a great perimeter of defense of about 8000 miles from the Caspian sea to the Arctic ocean in Russia, from North Cape in Norway, down the western coast of
Europe. and along the Mediter1 n to Greece, The allies are]

‘PARTNERSHIP’
Queen Wilhelmina Strikes At Axis, Puts Charter Into Effect.
By WILLIAM PHILIPS SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Whatever feats of arms may .be performed on the world’s battlefields on this first anniversary of Pearl Harbor, history is likely to record that it was woman, Queen Wilhelminia of Holland, who struck the day’s most telling blow at the axis. For her announcement of an equal partnership among the four parts of her realm will do more to give life to the war aims of the allies than any other single act yet performed by the united nations. The Atlantic charter now begins to take on real meaning. The precise “combination of independence and collaboration” which her kingdom will enjoy after the war has not yet been wholly fixed. Purposely, she indicated in her Sunday broadcast from.London, this has been left until the territory of the Netherlands is freed from the invaders and a conference can be called, with Holland, tite Dutch East Indies, Curacoa and Surinam sitting in. For, said the queen, the final form could “only be shaped in free consultation.”
Each to Have Parliament
The new relationship will not be exactly the same as between the United States and the Commonwealth of the Philippines or as between Britain and the dominions. But it will bear certain resemblances of both. The East Indian government, for example, will likely have a house of representatives and a ministry, with a governor general representing the crown. There will be self-govern-
"|ment in internal affairs, including
budget, taxes, tariffs and immigration laws. The cabinet will be responsible to the house of representatives, which will inevitably be overwhelmingly Indonesian. Suracao and Surinam will have similar governments, each -repre-
R.[sented at The Hague by a high
commissioner or some such official. Defense questions loom large in the plans, but it was not certain that a “super-parliament” would be set up, as earlier reports had indicated. In the new structure, the queen said, there wil be no discrimination because of race or nationality. “I know that no political unity or national cohesion can continue to exist which are not supported hy the voluntary acceptance and the faith of the great majority of citizens,” she said. “A political unity which rests on this foundation moves far towards a realization of the purpose for which the united nations are fighting, as it has been embodied, for instance, in the Atlantic charter.” The queen said the people of the Netherlands East Indies especially have won the right of independence with their dogged and never-failing resistance to the aggressor.

Unified Command —Halsey Style
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (U. PJ). —An army officer just returned from the Solomons last night revealed the manner in which Admiral William ¥. Halsey Jr, U. S. commander in the South Pacific, has replied to clamor for a “unified” command. The officer, Col. Leonard H. Rodieck, said he was present when Halsey called together his army, navy and marine corps aids somewhere in the Pacific, and said: “Gentlemen, we are the South Pacific fighting force. I don’t want anybody to be even thinking ‘in terms of army, navy and marines. “Every man must understand it —and. every: blankety-blank so and so will understand it if I have to take off all uniforms, issue coveralls: and imprint the insignia ‘South Pacific fighting force’ on the seat of the pants.”
PLAN FINGERPRINTING, IN SEVEN DISTRICTS
Fingerprinting of residents and registration of civilian defense workers in the seven districts of! the north civilian defense area will be conducted Thursday from 9:30 a. m to 8 pp m. at the office of district 40 in the Maco building, 38th st. and College ave. Districts 31, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40 and 41 make up the area. Mrs. M. O. Fields and Mrs. Harry Lorber have charge of the fingerprinting and will - be assisted by
Mrs. Guy Parish, Mrs. Carl Guthner and Mrs. George Fleischer. Mrs. Harry J. Daniels, area chairman, will supervise the registration, assisted by the district. chairmen, Mrs. Thomas Murphy, Mrs. James A, Stuart, Mrs. Grant Smith, Mrs. A. W. McDonald, Mrs. W, W, Logan and Mrs. Walter Wolf.
‘WHO’LL FIGHT FIRES IF WE HAVE A RAID?
“Who'll Fight the Fires If We Have an Air Raid?” will be the subject of a talk by Battalion Chief A. Frank Craig before a noon meeting of the Indianapolis Lions club Wednesday at the Claypool hotel. On Dec. 13, 14 and 15 the local Lions club will entertain officers and directors of the Lions International at the Claypool hotel. At that time Edward H. Paine, president of Lions International, will preside over the semi-annual board meeting. ;
