ALLIED HEADQUARTER, North Africa (By Wireless). —During the Tunisian campaign I had a chance

to visit the 9th division only once. I didn’t know a ¢ army public relations at the Presidio—and rapidly

soul in this division, and I drove into their shrubhidden command post with the same feeling of lonely © uneasiness one gets in approaching a strange big city for the first time. But as we piled out of our jeep one of the M. P.’s came over and pulled one of these columns out of his pocket—one written way back last winter about the mili=. tary police. ‘He laughed and said he'd been waiting a long time for me to show up. He said he knew the Military police were good but “he didn’t think they were quite 3 as good as I made them out. This particular soldier was Pvt. Walter Wolfson of New York. He is a coffee merchant by profession & radio actor by avocation, and a soldier by the trend of events. Before he went into the army Wolfson was on the’ “Rainbow House” program. He knows a lot of poetry and opera by heart and is always reciting and singing around camp. : ‘Wolfson’s sergeant is Charles Harrington, a former mill worker from Gary, Ind. He is another one with pistol grips made from the . windshield of a Messerschmitt, and he carries a picture of his wife in each side of his gun handle.

yHe'll Never Be in a Corner

SGT. HARRINGTON is the only soldier I've ever seen who digs round foxholes instead of rectangular ones. . He says that’s literally so it will be harder for strafing bullets to get at him, but figuratively so the devil can’t get him cornered. : Running onto these two was a pretty good start in breaking into new territory. So then we went up to the tent where correspondents always check in and find out what's going on, and who should be there but Maj. Robb, an old friend of mine from the San Francisco Exposition. I met him when he was publicizing the big fair.

. ONE OF THE. CITY'S landmarks became just a memory Friday when the Board of Trade dining room closed its doors—permanently. It had been operated continuously 36 years—since April, 1907— and in that time had become quite an institution. It's operation had been in the “red” for several years, but board members kept it going out of -sentiment. Then came rationing, and with it ‘higher qosts and greater operating losses. The various groups meeting regularly at the dining room, such as the Scientech club and several fraternities, have had to hunt out other restaurants, already crowded. . . . Jim Strickland, state OPA director, proudly reports that whereas in Ohio, prematurely mailed applications for ration book 3 show about one out of two incorrectly made out, the maJority of thos¢ already mailed here in Indianapolis area are correct. Well, what did he expect from us Hoosiers!

Sweden

STOCKHOLM, May 31 (By Wireless)—The reac-

. .

tion here to Moscow’s dissolution of the Third In-.

ternational has been slow and guarded. Berlin dispatches to Swedish newspapers take the line that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill have given Stalin a free hand in Europe in return. Swedish comment is that Stalin’s action was a shrewd tactical move, _ helpful in solidifying the allies. But Sweden's fear - of Russia is not ideological, as ours is. It is geographical — the fear of a strong power in the east which, ~ with Germany on the other side, would catch her in a vise. A nationalist Russia, following the old ‘Czarist policies, would be more of a menace to Swedén than communism. Hence the Swedish press emphasizes that Stalin is returning to the Pan-Slavic pernational ideals of Czarist Russia, which does not mean that if Russia’ were a threat it is so no

longer.

Communists a Minor Factor

ONE PROVINCIAL paper cumments that more convincing proofs are needed to make small states in the immediate neighborhood of the Soviet Union believe this is something more than an opportunistic and temporary maneuver. Other comment recognizes that this action makes Russia a much better ally, but warns that it is probable the Comintern will return, although much better dressed. Liberal papers point out that Moscow's decision will promote collaboration between Russia and the Anglo-Saxon powers, which will probably also be beneficial to Swedish interests.

My Day

HYDE PARK, N. Y., Sunday.—Spring is very late here. To the gardeners and farmers who are trying so hard to produce more this summer than they ever have before, it has been a most dishearteningg time. However, now the days couldn't be more perfect. Our : iilac is still in blopm and my bed of lilies-of-the-valley is flourishing, and there is even dogwood in flower on top of the hill. First of all, on Friday, I went over to the big house and saw the people who have been doing the spring cleaning. I made sure that everything was ready for the horses, which arrived that afternoon. Then I began unpacking at the cottage, found all the things which had been put away, paid . wa great compliments to the little maid who had done so much cleaning and to the man who, in spite of all difficulties, had managed to get the garden planted. The shrubs all look as though they had grown a foot, and so do the little evergreen trees with their light green tips. By late afternoon, three children ; : y we had a merry day. We

PFC. JOSEPH LORENZE is one of my infantry friends out of the 1st division. His home is at Inglewood, Cal. He's a nice, quiet, friendly fellow who worked in a furniture factory before the war. : We were together during that unforgettable period when our infantry was fighting day and night for the hills west of Mateur. I wanted to put Lorenze's name in the paper, but we sat in our foxholes and thought and thought, and we couldn’t think of a thing to say about him, even though he had been through four big battles. : : So finally I said, “Well, I'll pug it in anyhow. You live only half a mile from my witty friend Cavanaugh, so I'll hook it up Sen that some way.” You may remember my ffiend Cavanaugh. He was in France in the last war when he was 16 years old. This time he is serving his country by writing me funny letters about the home front, to keep up my morale. In the latest one he says: . “This is just getting around to being a fit country to live in. No gas, no tires, no sajesmen, no gadgets, and plenty of whisky to last the duration.

Soft Drink Flurry

IF YOU'VE BEEN wondering why your druggist seems to have a much better stock of soft drinks on hand than usual, the explanation is simple. Quotas allowed the stores are based on last year’s deliveries. It was warm in May, 1942, so deliveries were heavy. That boosted the quotas for May this year, but this : month it’s been—well, you know. And the demand has been light. . . . Lester Hogan, district shoe rationing officer, had a muddy job last.week.

By Raymond Clapper

, In America our fear of Russia is not geographical but ideological. We regard the communistic system as a menace to capitalism, and we have always been jittery about it.

There is not much of that in"Sweden. The Communists are a small element here. Sweden has elaborate social services, yet it is an extremely conservative country in the sense that the social Democrats, who are in a majority, are more nearly like American Federation of Labor trade-unionists. Sweden is about as radical as William Green. The point is that legitimate trade unions here have enormous power and prestige. Everybody is well taken care of—except unskilled labor, such as forest workers.

Generally Favorable Reaction Expected

PRIVATE CAPITALISM is deeply entrenched in Sweden. Even the co-operatives, which are gigantic and powerful economically, consider themselves an ally of private enterprise against state encroachment.

Fear of Russia exists in the upper. controlling].

groups—the bankers, capitalists and court circles—but ‘mainly it is fear of Russia as a neighbor on the east, not as a menace to the Swedish system of government, ; In the broad view, Stalin’s move is bound to have a favorable reaction, because it is impossible tor make the democratic idea work when the oppositions take orders from a foreign capital as the Communists have done. : ‘ Communists and Fascists ate both menaces’ to the democratic machine everywhere. Stalin has made a move to eliminate the Communist menace in the politics of other countries. The war will end the Fascist menace.

From there, .it is hard to believe there can be war, murder and sudden death in so many parts of the world. I kept thinking ef how many of the family and our close friends there were, for whom the desert, or the cold of high altitude, or the death of men they been.with just a day or two ago, ‘were, for the moment, the normal type of existence. I wonder if ever again this placid, quiet, uneventful daily:living will seem normal to them. Perhaps it will be even more precious. Perhaps they will harden us in our determina-

tion to see that never again does war become al

But I must say, as far as cars are concerned, there seem to be practically none on the road.

Thus far in the war, thanks to a

policy of caution and timidity, both the German and Italian navies have fulfilled only the role of “fleets in being” -— warships very existence, active immobilize and monopolize the attention of portions of the allied naval forces.

With the fall of Tunisia, the ta-

bles were turned on the Italian navy. Until then, it held a strategic advantage over the British navy and with German air support over the Sicilian straits, was in a positions to keep the British eastern and western Mediterranean fleets apart.

Theoretically, it would have been

able to bring numerically superior forces against each British force in turn. The opportunity was offered several times—notably against the eastern fleet at Matapan in March, 1941, and against the western fleet in November, 1940, but apparently it was unable to steel itself for battle.

Situation Is Reversed Now the situation is reversed and

the royal navy with the allied strategic air force in North Africa dominates the Sicilian straits and

even watches over the Straits of Messina.

Head of U.'S. Chamber of Commerce Runs 4 Businesses by Telephone; President Roosevelt

at home in the new warstyle leadership of that powerful . section of organized business, the chamber of com-

merce of the United States.

Nobody's more tickled than he is by the -astonishment he evokes as the personification of the chamber’s new strategy and stand: h the strategy of the open mind, the: stand of co-operation with labor, ggvernment and agriculture. “Out in Chicago I was interviewed by a roomful of reporters,” he recalled. “They took notes for an hour. Then one asked, incredulous and a little accusing, ‘Mr. Johnston, am I to report what you say is coming from a member of the Chamber of Commerce?’ ” Johnston, 46, fresh and forceful and flexible as the Pacific breeze that fans his clifftop home in Spokane, Wash, was the first chamber officer to visit the White house in five years. President Roosevelt gave him a pat and invited genially: “Come over here and tell me - how a nice young man like you ever got elected president of the chamber of commerce.” #” ” ”

critical sallies such as: “The capitalism of laissez faire, which thrived on low wages and maximum profits for minimum turnover, which rejected collective bargaining and fought against just public regulation of the competitive system, is a thing of the past.” But today, after a year in office, Johnston is boxoffice with business generally. Some fans call him presidential timber. His main move, to bring about a meeting of . minds where the viewpoints of business, agriculture, labor and government are reconcilable, was:cheered instantly, widely and loudly. And the ‘applause still mounts.

Calls Him a ‘Nice Young Man.’

By MARGUERITE YOUNG Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, May 381.—When Eric Allen Johnston was a knee-pants kid who took up debating to overcome shyness, he discovered a key to winning an argument— which key was to know the truth on the other fellow’s side as well as the fellow knew it himself. Today, that same formula makes Johnston perfectly

‘with his attractive wife and his two daughters. He has a lot of nervous energy.

He runs four businesses by long-distance telephone from Washington, D. C., and follows a schedule that must remind him of Eleanor Roosevelt's. He also is one of the economic advisors of the state department and of director of the office of war mobilization James Byrnes; also of the war manpower commission’s labor-management committee.

Johnston personally united labor leaders” and manufacturers and took ‘them to the White House to pledge unity for victory. He writes for business and popular magazines; is socially graceful and active, and hasn’t lost his interest in politics just because he got licked as Republican candidate for. the senate in 1940.

HERE'S the secret of his schedule: He keeps at it a little more tenaciously than he did at home in Spokane. There he rose at 6, shuttled around among his four offices while one of three secretaries followed him by phone, and worked a few hours, writing or reading after dinner. He loves novels, but reads mostly economics and politics, “seeing how violently I disagree.” ! He's western as “Hi, neighbor!” but was born in Washington, D. C. Both his Scottish father and his English-Welsh mother came of early-settler families. Father was a pharmaciest, whose health failed When Eric was a year old. About 6, Eric scrapped his way -into undisputed possession of a corner where he sold newspapers. His mother worked n a doctor's office.

As chairman of a lime and brick business, he negotiated with 13 of them, upped wages from 37 to 73!2 cents an hour, paid off a load of debt.

OTTAWA, May 31 (U. P.) ~The Canadidn Chamber of Commerce today has published a blueprint for post-war Canada, calling for come plete revision of tariff and taxation structures, a short-term housing and public works program and suspension of large-scale immigration until labor needs are determined. The plan was based upon the Ate lantic charter, but it declared: “We do not read into these principles an implication that tariff

We take for granted that there will be customs tariffs.” On ‘the question of immigration, the chamber urged that Canada cannot accept immigrants:in large numbers until @emobilized veterans have been absorbed into industry, and before attempting to settle on the land any large numbers of immigrants, “we must be reasonably satisfied in- advance that the demand for our exportable produc abroad will be such as to keep our agricultural economy solvent.” Emphasizing the importance of export markets, the plan called for scientific tariff revisions and an overhauling of the tax structure with a view of enabling industry to compete for export business, while yielding a substantial revenue to
