In the Stalingrad region the Russians were reported drawing their ring around the Nazi siege army even tighter and chances of the Germans’ escape were believed growing smaller. 57 Killed, Rome Says

Rome reported that 57 persons . were killed and 138 wounded in the Naples attack and that severe damage was caused to the harbor area and the center of the city.

Cairo reported that the raiders

hit moles, ships and installations, starting big fires and causing large explosions. The Turin raid was carried out

New Budget Anxiously Waited

PRESIDENT'S BUDGET, due in about three weeks, will give important clues to 1943 outlook; Washington watches anxiously for straws to show how the wind blows. Budget will say the last word on size of army for Be vhich is key to manpower and many civilian-supply problems, as well as to war strategy. First reports are that White House has been slashing tentative budget bureau figures sharply, taking the lead in cuts which Sungruss will make if FDR doesn’t. One exception: He's expected ts try to keep NYA, though congress has the ax poised for it. un ” #”

Meat Rationing Delayed

FOOD FRONT: Don't couat on two and half pounds when meat is rationed. Supplies won't permit it. Rationing is still two to three months off due to lag in printing ration book No. 2. Situation will get worse meanwhile; people will welcome rationing when it comes. You'll be eating more nourishing bread before long whether or no. Bakers meet here next week to hear government plans for stopping waste of coarser parts of wheat hull, building national strength, A ¢ national loaf, like England's? ; Real pinch on canned food for civilians is not due till 1944; that year you'll get about 33 pounds of canned food each, compared with 46 pounds in pre-war period. Army will get all the canned blueberries, canned figs, canned carrots. And: Government's quietly at work on ration book No. 3. But, before you grumble: Chavez committee on Puerto Rico re- ~ ports eggs sell there for 10 cents each; chicken, 75 cents a pound; \-. ¥ potatoes, 25 cents a pound; beef, 85 cents a pound, and there's no ) butter or lard on the island, no candy or chocolate.

Fuel Problem Gets Hotter

LOOK FOR a pierting howl from landlords if government issues an order compelling domestic consumers to change from. oil to coal for heating in rationing areas. Present feeling here is that landlords should bear the cost, rather than renters. Petroleum Administrator Ickes says if they haven't the money they can “tell it to Jesse Jones.”’ But can Jones and his RFC agencies make small loans to individuals for this purpose? No one is sure. They're not sure, either. - whether price boss Henderson would permit Tent ceilings to be pierced to meet this new expense. Complications are so great that conversion of industrial plants, theaters and other large buildings to coal may satisfy Ickes for the present, : Son ® 8 = 8s nw: 5 : Army debates taking back cdntrol of Japanese relocation camps as result of Manzanar trouble and other incidents getting less publicity.

Standard of New Jersey Facing Shakeup

“A “NEW DEAL” for Standard Oil of New Jersey is in the works, ‘Washington hears. Death of President W. S. Farish opens the way. i The “new deal,” say reports, is aimed at keeping Standard in back- ~ 4 ground for duration, giving it a chance to live down charges made by chairman of Truman committee and others because of its intimate connection with the German chemical trust, I. G. Farben. (Standard, it's said, doesn’t want any more sessions before congressional committees like the ones early this year when senate and house investigators pried into its synthetic rubber and other links with. . Farben.) Prank Howard, president of Standard Development Co., who sat ‘with Farish through most of the questioning, may retire as part of the shake-up.

The idea of perfecting a world peace is not a new one. In fact, there have been a lot of efforts—some of them not so bad. And while we are busily searching for one to ‘end all wars” we, unconsciously are influenced, if not haunted, by attempts that date back to the beginning of recorded history. That's the way Prof. Albert L. Kohlmeier of Indiana university,

going example was given us by the Romans, Dr. Kohlmier said. “The Romans were interested in world organization and the establishment of world peace. . They never fought an aggressive war. All their conquests were supposedly the result of defensive wars or defensive offenses. “They ultimately brought under control a large part of the civilized world and were able to maintain peace throughout the vast empire for long periods of time.

Did People Benefit?

“Whether the conquered people received more in the way of benefits derived is still a debutable question, but the fact remains that this was one method which came as near to succeeding in a practical way as any method” that has ever been applied.” The second idea Mr. Kohlmier cited was the one established during Medieval days in which the secular hierarchy, with the emperor as its head, co-operated with the spiritual hierarchy in preserving order. “While it must be admitted that

this didn’t bring perfect results,

yet for a thousand years it resulted in a very real effort in the direction of world peace. . . . In passing, it may be well to remember that the

faith is still considered an essential component in an effective system of world organization today.” The third method, influencing us today, is the one of balance of power applied from the beginning of the establishment of the modern nationalist states down to our own times. “The idea was that the peace of the world could be maintained by erecting great powers into two rival coalitions or combinations so deliberately balanced against each other that neither would be tempted to disturb the equilibrum. In practice, it worked no more perfectly than its predecessors and possibly not as well as the Roman system.” The fourth method, of course, is the recent League of Nations.

‘Selfish Interests’

“It was really an association of confederacy of governments. It provided for the legislative and judicial branches of a super-govern-ment but no executive branch. The

- {exercise of force or sanction was

left to the individual governmer.ts. . « « Some of the powerful blocs attempted to use the league to secure realization of interests of their own, ignoring the minor partners lacking the force to make their desires effective. World war I put’ a end to this effort. “Some thinkers today are looking forward to another attempt at forming some kind of a world or-

acceptance of a great ideology or|,

Smith, New Castle, curator of the Henry county historical museum; Otho Winger, North Manchester, retired president of Manchester college, and Dr. Christopher B. Coleman, secretary of the Indiana Historical. society. They're attending the Indiana history

bership all of the governments, great and small. The latter probably will be attempted unless the conflict continues into a long stalemate. I wish to point out, however, that in any kind of an association of states, the ideas obtained in the past will in some form be present

| to influence the effort.

“The exercise of force in the preservation of world order and peace cannot be ignored any more now than in the days of the Roman empire. . . . Some positive ideology, faith or conviction will be necessary to vitalize ‘any attempt, just as in the Middle Ages. It is only a question of whether it will be: that of naziism, communism, democracy or another cult. “It still will remain true that in any association one great power or group of powers possessing an effective majority due to preponderance of military force, wealth and intelligence will dominate the world and will more or less undertake to secure its interests at the expense of an ineffective minority of peoples.

Preserve Documents

“If an association of powers be formed at the end of this war, in which the Anglo-American governments constitute an effective majority, as most of us probably hope, the duration of the association and the permanence of the peace will depend largely upon the restraint with which the dominant governments will exercise their authority and the patience with which the minority will accept their position.” Kenneth R. Shaffer, order at the state library, made a plea this morning for the preservation of all documents, etc. relating to the present war, pointing out that records of civilian life as well as military would give the historical picture. “Neither the archivist nor the historian has time now to sort out important from the unimportant,” he said. “The principal worry is that nothing be ignored, destroyed or lost that may prove essential when the world returns to normalcy and measures the effects of its catastrophies.” ° Governor Henry F. Schricker, Governor Dwight Green of Illinois end Maj. Gen. Frank Milburn of Camp Atterbury will speak at a dinner tonight, concluding the conference.

Faces Jail for Suggesting ~The Scrapping of Capital Cannon.

(Continued from Page One)

sald that “the law is going to be enforced in this state, the Post-Dis-patch notwithstanding.” “We are going to the limit on this thing,” he said. “It is simply outrageous.” The “outrageous” act was the plot of Stearns and Riley, a couple of tree surgeons, to move the cannon to a national junk pile for the scrap metal drive. According to their own story, they drove from St. Louis in a truck Thursday night and attempted to remove the cannon.

Inspired by Editorial

They admitted they were inspired by an editorial in the Post-Dispatch, which suggesed that “on some dark night” it might be a smart move for citizens to go to the state house lawn, seize the old guns and deposit them on the national scrap e. They failed because a wheel on the old relic had broken down, thus thwarting the removal into their truck. Retreating to a tavern which they described as GHQ, they got a sympathetic bartender to call a wrecker with a lifting crane. When the wrecker ‘found out what he was supposed to do he demurred and came back later with police, who arrested the men and charged them with grand larceny. The Post - Dispatch, describing the pair as a “taxpayers’ 'expeditionary force,” said the men simply had made a “patriotic attempt to cut some legalistic red tape.”

Forbade Cannon Removal

Some time ago, Donnell forbade removal of the cannon because he was unable to find who owned them. Without title, he said, the removal probably would have resulted in litigation costing more than the estimated value of the cannon—$180. Stearns said he and Riley had done some work recently for Coghlan, but that he had not specifically instructed them to remove the cannon. : “We just figured that Governor Donnell couldn't—or wouldn’t—do anything and so we decided to do it ourselves,” Stearns said. Coghlan, who has been an editorial writer for the Post-Dispatch since 1924, was found guilty of contempt of court in April, 1940, by Circuit Judge James J. Rowe. Coghlan had criticized Rowe in an editorial for freeing of two union leaders charged with extortion.
