KIEV NAZIS STOPPED: HOMELAND DUSTED FROM Al
AMERICANS
MAKE RUN IN
"NORTHWEST
LONDON — (UP) — The Am-
ericans were back over Germany
^oday.
Giant four-motored bombers of
the Eighth Air Force hammered
the northwest part of Hitler's
homeland for the second time in
xhree days. At the same time,
fighter-protected Marauder me-
dium bombers hit a Nazi air-
drome near Amsterdam.
Swift little fighter planes con-
voyed the big heavyweights on
i|he run over Germany today,
^ust as they did on Saturday
when Fortresses and Liberators
struck Emden. So far the tar-
gets haven't been revealed for
the big daylight attack. Nor
Jiave they been disclosed for last
flight's Mosquito raid on west-
ern Germany in which one plane
was lost.
But. eye - witnesses reaching
Zurich say that recent Fortress
raids on the much-bombed Nazi
•$ity of Solingen leveled 35 to 40
per cent of the city's buildings.
And a Stockholm newspaper
says residents of Vienna have
received evacuation instructions
—indicating the city's fear of
$ ir raids from southern Europe.
Full Patton Story
Js Given To Senate
WASHINGTON — (UP) —
Incidentally, the full story of
the Patton case came out today.
It was contained in a report
from General Eisenhower sent
a senate committee consider-
ing Patton's promotion .The re-
port, sent to the senate by Sec-
retary of War Stimson, confirm-
ed that Patton had slapped two
soldiers and spoken threatening-
ly to another. But it underscor-
ed Eisenhower's conviction that
Patton's value as a battle leader
had not been impaired.
Stimson said a thorough in-
vestigation by an inspector in
gj'atton's theater of war reveal-
ed only the incidents reported.
Besides the slapping the shell-
shocked soldier already reported,
there was another slapping inci-
dent. On August 3rd in a hos-
jiital in Sicily Patton slapped
®Prlvate Charles Kuhl of Mis-
hawaka, Indiana.
TTo report explained the
"misleading announcement"
tlie day after the first slapp-
0 ing incident was revealed.
He said the first report of
the ease — made by radio
commentator Drew Pearson
—was, for all practicul pur-
poses, denied because of mil-
itary reasons.
Stimson said the incident it-
self was not denied but rather
what he called "the false impli-
cations that a change had jr
would take place in the com-
mand of the Seventh Army or
that its morale was impaired."
The report coincided with the
dispatch stating that Patton had
greeted the president at a Sicil-
ian airport.
A Stockholm newspaper says
the president also has met Gen-
eralissimo Franco of Spain and
Premier Salazar of Portugal.
The three are said to have gath-
ered at Gibraltar to talk over
©he position of the Iberian na-
tions in the war. But there is
no officials news of any new pro-
si cntial trip other than to Sic-
ily.
FarmBlocReadyFor
Subsidy Compromise
West Texas' Leading City • Mfc More Thu 18,000 Reader*
Sweetwater Reporter
WASHINGTON — (UP)—The
administration is gaining head-
way in its fight to save the sub-
sidy program.
The senate farm bloc, former
arch-foe of subsidies, now is said
to be ready for a compromise.
And administration supporters
of the price control program are
reported ready to meet their op-
ponents half way—in the inter-
ests of speeding legislation on
the issue.
Food Administrator Marvin
Jones has emphasized the admin-
istration's objections to further
delay. Jones says it must be de-
cided soon whether subsidies are
going to be used to keep down
food costs so that the nation's
farmers can play accordingly.
As the partial subsidy vic-
tory comes into sight, a
threat to the price control
program is making itself felt
in congress. The lower house
today will consider a bill
calling for a raise in the
prices of crude oil and coal.
Congressman Disney of Ok-
lahoma, author of the hill,
predicts almost immediate
passage.
In the senate, the sub-commit-
tee investigating liquor shortag-
es is trying to find a means of
resuming liquor manufacture for
civilians. Committee Chairman
Van Nuys is conferring with the
production and food officials on
the advisability of such a move.
Other news from the capital
promises a higher output of
goods for civilian use during the
coming year. The war produc-
tion board is completing surveys .
designed to establish actual civ- i
ilian needs. The surveys are |
part of the plan for reconver- i
sion of war plants to peacetime
production.
Concerning production . . .12
coal mines are idle around Lans-
ford, Pennsylvania, today as the
result of strikes at two plants
of the Pennsylvania Power and
Light company. The cut in pow-
er also has slashed production
at the Bethlehem Steel compa-
ny's plant, and other factories.
Union'representatives of the
strikers are in Washington to
answer War I .abor Board charg-
es that, the strike is illegal.
In Atlanta, a truck drivers
strike ha • gone into 8th day to
tie up several million pounds of
freight in warehouses through-
out the city. Union officials have
urged the government to take ov-
er operation of the trucks.
Production lias returned
to normal al the Pittsburgh
plant of the Crucible Steel
company. Some 1800 work-
ers went back to work to end
a three-day strike, after gel-
ling a promise of War La-
bor Itoard action on their
grievances.
On the food front, the OPA an-
nounces that beginning today
ration point values of pork will
be cut one or two points. The
reduction applies to all pork pro-
ducts except canned and the so-
called variety meats. And OPA
officials remind housewives that
this is the day butchers begin
paying for salvage fats in brown
ration points. One point will be
given for each half pound of fat
turned in.
The agency also announces
that bakers have been authoriz-
ed to raise the price of bread
25 per cent. However, the OPA
stipulates that the size of each
loaf must be increased in pro-
portion to the new price.

Causes Given For
Tule Lake Outbreak
SAN FRANCISCO — (UP)—
O'he California state senate com-
mittee investigating the Tule
Lake center for disloyal Japa-
nese has issued an 11-page re-
port on its findings.
The senators favor continued
• rniy control of the camp and
reiterate their opposition to re-
settlement of Japanese evacuees
in Pacific coast areas during the
war.
The report says the Tule Lake
v'tots were caused by-r-"the lack
Mf any definite policy of the War
Relocation Authority and con-
tinual unnecessary appeasement
of the Japanese internees." It
charges that demonstrations and
work stoppages were part of a
definite plant of the disloyal Jap-
anese to dominate the center and

Killed In This War

i Kaist r.
1' took four years, 102 days
; !o beat Germany to its knees in
| the first war. The second war
I attained the same age yesterday
I with Germany still going strong.
The. curtain rose on the first
conflict August 1st, 1911, when
the Kaiser declared war on Rus-
sia. France and Britain came on
the stage a few days later. By
the summer of 1918, Germany
was weakening fast. On July 15,
the Germans launched their last
offensive. It was crushed. And
on the 25th. the supreme com-
mand—realizing the jig was up
—told the government to ask to
for terms.
On November 9th. the German
fleet at' Kiel mutinied, and six
days later the Kaiser fled to
Holland. The home front crack-
ed wide open. Germany propel*
would have become a battle-
ground within a few days, so the
German's gave up.
Hitler hauled up the curtain
on Wviid War two September
1st. L9"9. with his attack on Po-
land. Again, France and Eng-
; land ame on the stage a few
days later. Since then, the con-
j flict has spread around the
| world to dwarf the first by com-
parison.
I From a military standpoint,
Germany can either win a short
war or lose a long one. That
was the idea behind the blitz-
krieg—to hit the enemy one ter-
rific knockout blow and get it
over quickly. Three factors kept
the Nazis from doing just that
—Britain's ability to take it.
Russia's courage, and America's
production. And now Germany
is fast approaching the fate it
met in World War one.
There are two major differenc-
es between 'the situation then
and today. The first is this. Be-
fore, Germany collapsed after
its army had met a decisive de-
feat. It has yet to meet such
a defeat in this war, and pro-
bably won't until the Allies in-
vade across the channel. And
jtiie second difference — Hitler
1 has a stronger hold on the home
j front than the Kaiser did. Dur-
| ing the last war. Germany still
I had a parliament. It still had
| workers who dared strike. To-
i day, Hitler takes care of all
! such opposition with a mach-
' inc gun.
Here's roughly how Germany
j stands after four years. 102 days
of war. It has suffered an esti-
! mated two-and-one-half-mlllion
military deaths — three-quarters-
ters-of-a-million more than in the
i last war. It has exhausted its
1 strategic reserves. But it still has
I fully well-equipped divisions and
I many more not-so-well-equipped
I ones. The luftwaffe no longer
Jean compare with Allied air
i power. E>it its strength still is
j estimated at between 10 and 15-
thousand first-line planes—most-
ly fighters.
Germany also is in a strong
I position geographically. So
I strong, in fact, that the Allies
| will have to battle their way ov-
er hundreds of miles of slave
; States to get at her. Economical-
ly. Germany has suffered heav-
i ily at the hand of the Allied air
I pffensive. But not so much but
what she can turn out—accord-
ing to British estimat.es—12-hun-
I dred-and-50 pi
! is Germany
Short Of foot:
nes a month. Nor
kely to become
even though half
Europe starve.-. And its economy
•is bolstered by the presence of
12-million foreign workers in
German, Czech and Polish factor-
ies.
In fact. Germany although
weakening—is strong *.nougn to!
exact a stiff price for her de- i
feat. Not that Allies already f
haven't paid heavily. British ex-
perts estimate total Allied mili-
tary deaths on all fronts at sev- j
en-and-one-half-milliori men com- j
pared with five million 152-thou- j
sand in the last war. Another]
10-million civilians are believed
to have died of starvation, air |
| attack and German execution.
• There's no way of gauging the :
| war's property damage, but it j
1 far surpasses that of the first I
j war. Nor are figures on the com- j
parative money cost of the two j
wars available for all Allied
j countries. But the United States j
j alone has spent 1-12-and-one-haIf- j
billion dollars on the war so far,;
I as compared with 32-blrlion 830-
• million for the last war. And
j even after Hitler has met the
I special Waterloo fate has re-
| served for him, the Allies will
j continue to pay to defeat Japan, j
The biggest bill in blood and !
I treasure is yet to be paid. It willj
fall due in 1914 when Allied at"- j
j mies—closing in from the East, j
' South and West—crush Germany
j for good.

DEDICATED TO SERVICE
Number 295
SMFRNO VETS
DECORATED BY
ROOSEVELT
WASHINGTON — (UP)—The
White House announces that
President Roosevelt has visited
Sicily.
The chief executive reviewed
veterans of the Sicilian cam-
paign. And he personally pinned
the distinguished Service Cross
on Lieutenant General Mark
Clark and five other American
officers of the Fifth Army.
The visit to Sicily last week
was another stop-over on the
president's return trip from the
Tehran and Cairo conferences.
And apparently it took Mr. Roo-
sevelt within 225 miles of the
actual fighting front in Italy.
In the presidential reception
line at Castel Ventrano was Gen-
eral Patton. the commander of
the Seventh Army. Patton re-
cently was at the center of a
controversy over the slapping of
a shell-shocked soldier in a Sicil-
ian hospital.
The president reviewed the
troops from a jeep. It stop-
ped in the center of the field
and Mr. Roosevelt pinned
llie decorations on fi\e offi-
cers. (Jeneral Clark's name
was called last.
Clark was decorated for "ex-
trawdinaiy heroism'' wiien Ms
men repelled a Nazi counter-at-
tack on the Salerno bridgehead.
The citation revealed that Clark
"spread an infectious spirit of
determination and courage,
among his men by going to the
■ front line in utter disregard of
personal safety."
The other five officers, who
have the distinction of being dec-
,orated by the president are Col-
onel Reuben H. Tucker of An-
sonia, Connecticut: Colonel Jo-
seph B. Crawford of Humbolt.
Kansas: First Lt. William W.
Kellogg of Highlands. Texas;
First. Lt. Thomas F. Bertreau,
of Chicago: and First Lt. Edwin
F. Gould of Orange, Calif.
The dispatch released by the
White House did not refer to
the Patton slapping incident. But
it did say that Patton greeted
the president. After the cere-
mony the president accompanied
General Eisenhower and Gener-
al Clark to an office 's club.
MANNSTEIN
WASTED MEN
IN ASSAULT
LONDON — (UPi — The Ger-
! mans admit they've been stop-
lied in the Kiev bulge on the
! central Russian front.
! The Berlin communique says
heavy fighting continues witn
undiminished intensity, and it.
concedes that the Germans are
on the defensive. The Berlin
radio says the Russians have re-
taken a village southwest of
Korosten.
Moscow claims the battle will
have these effects.
That first, it will definitely
weaken German positions on the
Southern front — in the bi^
Dnieper bend.
Secondly — in his effort
to drive toward the Dnie-
per and retake Kiev, Ger-
man Field Marshal Von
ManiisLcin wasted vital Nazi
reserves and tanks.
Moscow says these losses may
prove fatal to the Nazis when
the Red army launches its win-
ter drive toward Poland.
Front line dispatches say the
Russians drew the Nazis back
into their chosen battleground
west of Kiev, and forced the
Nazis to waste their strength.
I hen the Russians launched a
counter-attack which now is in
progress.
To the south, the Russians
are pressing hard on Cherkassy

WASHINGTON — (UP) — |
One of President Roosevelt's
closest friends. Marvin H. Mc-
lntyre, died today.
Mclntyre was (35 years old. j
He had been ailing for some j
time.
If ever a man fitted the des- j
eription of "close to the presi- j
dent," it was Mclntyre. His ser-!
vice with the president dated
back to the last war. When Mr.
Roosevelt moved into the White j
House, Cc In tyre became assist-:
ant secretary to the president,
and was made a full secretary |
m 1937.
Mclntyre was born in l.a-
Grange, Kentucky and never did
lose his Kentucky accent. He
moved to Washington in 1909 to
take over the city editorship of
the old Washington Times.
When the first World War
broke out he became publieitv
director for Navy. It was from
Navy connections that he met
Mr. Roosevelt, who was then
the. assistant secretary of the
Navv. After the war ho remain-
ed in Washington, contributed
articles to the Army and Navy
Journals, and later became rep-
resentative for Pathe News
Reel.
In 1931. when the Roosevelt
for-President drjvc began to
gather momentum, he was call-
ed to Albany to start plans for
the campaign.
No story of Mclntyre woutd
be complete without recalling
that his favorite sport was sing-
ing tenor in barber-shop har-
mony. Next to singing. Mcln-
tyre liked playing poker. A
thin w.sp of a man, he had the
strength of a 2<H)-pounder until
it was sapped by tuberculosis.
His health failed badlv last
summer and he was sent to
bed hv his physicians about, the
first of November.
Mr Roosevelt, who is enroute
home from the Middle East, was
advised of Mvlntvrc's death
He sent back a message, saying:
"Another faithful servant is
lost to public service ... to me
personally his death means the
severing of a closc friendship
of a quarter of a centurv ..
EUROPEAN GOOD
NEIGHBOR POLICY
IS TAKING SHAPE •
LONDON — (UPi — A sort of
| "good neighbor policy" for peace
in Europe and the Near East is
j believed taking shape.
The foundation of a future al-
! liance between Turkey and
Russia is reported to have been
j laid. Usually reliable Allied cir-
I eles say the way was paved at
| the Cairo meeting of President
I Roosevelt, Prime Minister Chur-
j chill and President Inonu of
I Turkey. Such an alliance appar-
| ently would help end long-stand-
1 ing Turkish suspicion of Soviet
j ambitions in the near East.
In the meantime, Russia and
| Czechoslovakia have signed a
mutual aid treaty. And that may
| be the first of a series of pacts
| to wekl the smaller nations of
I Europe into a security system.
Dry Candidate Says
He Has Same Rights
As Mrs. Roosevelt
LOS ANGELES — (UP)—The
| prohibition party's presidential
| candidate, Claude Watson, thinks
; a nominee for president has as
j much right to air-travel priori-
I ties as a president's wife.
Watson says when he applied
for such priority an army agent
told him plane space was allot-
ted first to persons contributing
directly to the war effort. Now
the prohibitionist says he's won-
dering if this is to be a general
policy for all presidential candi-
dates. He adds:
"Eleanor hasn't been nominat-
ed for president—yet. Neverthe-
less, she didn't have any trou-
