Hoosier Vagabond

WITH “THE AMERICAN FORCES IN ALGERIA (by Wireless). —A fine collection of freak stories about the mails is growing up over here. ‘ ‘Recently we had a ‘flood of mail both from - England and America. Mail sacks were piled on the docks by the thousand, making mounds as big as strawstacks. The army’s postoffice, working with remarkable speed, sorted and delivered all of RL in three days. Some people got as many as 75 letters all at once. Others, : such as this lonely correspondent, got none. One fellow I know got two letters—one a notification that a friend had subscribed to the Readers Digest for him, which he already knew, and the other a mimeographed letter about some church festival which his wife had sent him, though he had received po personal letter from her in weeks. The recipient uses very unchurchly language when he tells about it.

U. S. Movies Shown Again

, ANOTHER MAN I know, a colonel from San Francisco, hasn't heard from his wife in three months, or from his friends in longer than that. This recent deluge of mail brought him just one letter. It was from a vice president of the Goodrich “Fire Co., warning him that it was his’ ‘patriotic duty to conserve his tires. But here I think is the. best one. Capt. Raymond Ferguson of Los Angeles had a Christmas box from his aunt. It was the first one she had sent in ¥ many years, and he was quite touched when he saw who it was from. Ferguson opened the bok with eager fingers. Then his face fell. The gift was a large stack of blank V-mail (forms, for him to write home on. And Capt. Ferguson, being head of the army's postal

OLD INSIDE hates to scold, but it would be nice if some of you would quit sending in letters anonymously. Keep on writing them—we like to get them —but sign your name. If you don’t want your name used, just say so, and we won’t use it. Many a good } little news. item goes into the waste basket because no name is signed and we don’t know where to check its authenticity. It's just like talking on the phone to someone who won't give his name. For instance, “A reader of The Times for 35 years” writes in that “Grandma Trinkle, out on Reisner st, now in her 90th year, is bedfast from injuries sustained when she fell in the back yard while patriotically preparing tin cans for Uncle Sam.” Someone else wants to know “where the WAVE office is located” Just for meanness, because they didn’t sign the card, we had a notion not to tell them the WAVES’. office is on the fourth floor of the federal building.

A Cigar for Henry ¥ SIDELIGHTS on the Stewart Donnelly extradition hearing before Governor Schricker! When John K. ~ Jennings-stepped down from the. witness chair, the governor asked: “You got a cigar, John?” John handed him one and the governor said, “Thanks.” . When Henry Bowsher testified that Donnelly was here on a certain date because he attended a party celebrating the birth of the Bowsher twins, the governor asked if Mr. Bowsher had a picture of the twins. “Sure,” beamed Mr. Bowsher, producing one from his pocket. “Humph,” dryly remarked the governor, “they're better looking than the old man.” And then when Mrs. Bowsher took the stand, the governor gave her an appraising glance, and said: “Well, now I see where the twins get their good

Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7—Our promise now is to build five ships a day, beginning in May. No one “would believe such a fantastic promise except for the. spectacular fact that we are now building four ships a'day. That has never been done before by anybody, anywhere. We have learned to stop doubting the impossible. More than 8,000,000 tons of shipping have been built in the last year— delivered into service. There were 746 ships delivered. That is in addition to naval construction and a considerable volume of small vessels. Ship construction is one of the best indicators of the pace of the united nations offensive. Our progress from here on depends - on expansion of shipping capaeity. “The men and the equipment are coming out of the training camps and out of the factories in adequate volume. The difficulty is in transporting them to the fronts. That makes 1943 important on the shipways. * | The axis never expected that we could get on the flensive so quickly. Germany and Japan thought t would take us until 1944 and that they would have ©1943 clear in which to complete and congolidate their campaign of conquest that went swishing through Europe and East Asia from 1939 to early 1942. .

The: axis was not so far off in its calculations. It would have been correct except for the phenomenal

Ee five hours tonigh: we wandered through the hilly no-man’s-land north of Medjez-el-Bab with a fighting patrol of elite British soldiery, penetrated the German lines at least two miles and engaged the Germans in a slap-bang battle under a starlit sky and finally returned on foot to our base after a 10-mile march.

We started out with the expe-

dition well after dark. We drove a few miles in a truck loaded with soldiers. Then we dismounted and began our odyssey over rocky mule trails, headed for the rear of the Germans to ambush their supply columns along the routes of supply.

That

probably is not true of the united nations as a whole. The submarine ‘menace, So far as the whole allied side is concerned, is still grave. It has shifted to the other side of the ocean. The answer, insofar as there is one, lies in a combination of convoy protection, more escort vessels, improved instruments, more use of patrol aircraft, and especially training of crews in anti-submarine work.

Hard to Understand Secrecy

IT IS SELF-DECEPTIVE to dwell on the magnificent shipbuilding feat and not also keep in mind that a considerable part of it is simply treadmill

racing.

The ships are built, loaded, and then sent out to sea to be sunk. We lose not only the ship but the cargo, on which distant military operations may be waiting, and we lose perhaps some of the crew, which has been trained and which steadily becomes more

Twice I stepped back in terror believing I was trampling on the late British soldier only to discover it was a rock or sagebush. Once, when we were lying down to listen for the enemy, I found a big soldier sitting on me. “Sorry,” he said, “I theught it was a rock.” We proceeded with caution. By this time we were well within the German lines and looking for game. It didn’t help much to have an occasional fall of rocks from the mule trail down into the gully but no-

ON THE GERMAN' FRONTIER, Jan, 7 (U. P.).—The psychology of fear is sweeping Germany, and the Nazi warlords are using it to keep the German people ‘united in the axis war effort. There is little doubt that the axis’ military setbacks have damaged the prestige of the Nazi party and aided in the deterioriation of civilian morgle, But Paul Joseph Goebbels, preaching “conquer or perish,” has successfully propagandized fear of the day of reckoning, The German people fear the swelling allied military power. They fear coming events on the battlefields. They fear that the day of vengeance for the Russians, Poles, Czechs and other Nazi victims is coming. But most of all they fear the gestapo. Observers reaching the frontier believe that Hifler’s gift of fear to the Germans has united them for the country but they are certain that eventually it will result in swift and complete collapse on the home front when the axis armies are beaten decisively.

Distort Goebbels’ Slogan

There are undercurrents of unrest apparent already. Goebbels’ slogan, “Wheels Roll for Victory” has been distorted into a popular cynicism, “Heads Roll for Victory.” There is no sign of a real military -or popular uprising. against Hitler yet, but observers agree that Munich, the birthplace of nagziism, is the center of outspoken grumbling and complaining.

HENRY KAISER ASKS CHANGES IN WAGNER ACT

World's Fastest Shipbuilder Calls Jurisdictional Rifts ‘Criminal.’

By FREDERICK WOLTMAN Copyright, Ro, ScHpps-Howard Newspapers NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Henry J. Kaiser, world’s fastest shipbuilder, in an interview here today urged congress to conduct a “thoroughgoing review” of the Wagner act as a law not only permitting but actually fostering jurisdictional warfare ‘between labor unions, which he said presents “the most serious obstacle in the way of war production today.” So ruthless has the competition become for advantage in organizing the millions who work for wages, he said, that it threatens our peace and safety and, in addition, “will severely handicap post-war recovery.” Emphasizing that he has always respected, and in fact furthered, the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively, Mr. Kaiser did not urge total repeal of ‘the act, but called for a modification which “will make it an equitable and effective instrument for the settlement, and not for the engendering, of industrial conflict.” Congress, he added, “is the sole agent competent to act,” for “this matter has gone too far to be laid at the door of the president for

The constant fear and uncertainty has created a sort of escapist gaiety in Berlin and other cities where an effort is made to escape the strain. ¢ Movies Spread Propaganda

The legitimate and motion picture offerings are heavily propagandistic, but they also are largely

5 escapist. One movie hit was billed

as “giving the most lovely illusions of love and happiness” The State theater presented “Salome.” The Winter Garden advertised a dance revue with “a dozen real Shetland ponies.” Scala has burlesque, which like many other stage shows, presents the greatest degree of feminine nudity. | The feminine question itself has presented a major problem for the Nazis, with 8,000,000 foreign workers within the Reich. Drastic penalties, including death, recently were instituted for war prisoners who have relations with German

¥{women. Travelers, ‘quoting -Italian

diplomats ‘in Berlin, said statistics showed that at least 8000 illegitimate children had been born to Berlin women during the last year. Letters found in possession of Germans taken prisoner on the fighting fronts reflect the homefront worries of the soldiers. A Rurnanian in Germany, writing a friend on the Russian front, said: “The German women are losing control of themselves. They are very depressed. Karl, home on leave, divorced his wife because she was with child by a war prisoner.” The Nazis increasingly refuse women permission to travel outside Germany because, officially, “they talk too much.”

Disputes in Three Yards

Three of his West coast shipbuilding yards are now the object of a jurisdictional conflict between 16 A. FP. of L. construction unions on - the one hand, the C. I. O. shipbuilders’ union on the other. The national labor relations board has: ordered a hearing Monday on C. I. O. complaints that his company favored the A. F. of L. unions, which have closed-shop contracts. Mr. Kaiser paid tribute to his thousands of employees, whom Le referred to as “a heroic army” that has “entered fully into the race to build arms faster than the axis.” “That such men should be hampered, interferred with and pepalized by a jurisdictional dispute is just plain criminal—no less word will suffice.” } Asked for his views on labor unions as such, Mr. Kaiser replied; “I do not have it in my heart at this moment. to denounce or censure organized labor as a whole for the present shameful pursuit of jurisdictional warfare.

“Unjust Practice”

“However, this violent and unjust practice actually threatens the flow of essential supplies to our fighting men. It is time to denounce this . evil at ‘its source. There is a national law which not only permits but, in fact, fosters dissension between unions to the dertriment of every sound factor in production.” Mr. Kaiser expressed the opinion that if there were some way of getting a free opinion from union men, “in all ether respects loyal to their union,” they would denounce jurisdictional warfare “by an overwhelming majority.” With respect to the National

‘Labor Relations Act itself, he said

that “insofar as it protects labor in its right to organize and collectively, it is good. To thu extent that it prejudices the fair and reasonable interests of the public. and of employers, it is not only. unjust but it is a source of bitter conflict. |

Disputes Are Unfair

“To the extent that it permits or encourages jurisdictional disputes, it is unfair to every man who holds a union card; and it is a menace to production for both war and peace.” Administrative agencies—“least of all those which totally confuse the legislative, executive and judicial functions”—are inadequate to meet the issue, he said, adding: “The issue beiongs to congress, in which body—despite all evidence to the contrary—resides the real power to rule the country.” “Therefore, let congress seek to. humanize rather than to legalize labor relations. Let congress recognize that employers and laborers are all human beings; that their interests are not in conflict and that their respective rights can be harmonized.” Warfare within labor's ranks h “long since ceased to be a mail solely of union concern,” he sa
