STEALS SHOW
LONDON (UP) — Marsh-
als and cabinet ministers
■ , were out in force to greet
Prime Minister Churchill
when he arrived in London
from the Quebec conference
yesterday.
But a red-headed little
boy stole the show.
The train from Churchill's
port of entry had hardly
ground to a halt when his
grandson, eight-year-old Jul-
ian Sandys, broke away
from his mother and fath-
er.
When the red-tabbed and
gold-braided big-wigs crowd-
ed 'into Churchill's coach
they found Julian firmly es-
tablished on grandfather's
lap, giving him a big wel-
coming kiss.
Independent Union
Is Eliminated By
War Labor Board
WASHINGTON (UP) — Em-
ployes of the Reed Roller Bit
Company at Houston have been
ordered to vote on their choice
of a CIO or Af of L union as
their collective bargaining agen-
cy.
The national labor relations
board announces that the two
contesting unions are the Unit-
ed Steelworkers, a CIO affiliate,
and the Houston Metal Trades
Council, an AFL affiliate.
The board held that the Bro-
therhood of Welders, Cutters and
Helpers of America — an inde-
pendent'union also seeking a
place on the ballot—is not an ap-
propriate unit for collective bar-
gaining.
WITH THE U. S. MAR-
INES ON PELELIU (UP)
—Absalom wasn't the only
guy whose whiskers got him
in trouble.
Recently a Navy photo-
grapher — Mason Pawlak
of Detroit, Mich. — crawled
back to his buddies with his
gun primed on a moustach-
ioed fellow in front of him.
"1 gotta Jap", he said,
"black moustache and all."
But the hairy one protest-
ed. He made so much noise
that Pawlak finally agreed
to look at his papers.
Sure enough—it was a
Marine.
When last seen, that
Marine was busy shaving
his upper lip.

GERMANY WILL TRY IT AGAIN
By Sigrid Schultz 11114* liy Siirrld SclniWy,: nixlrliiiilctl l>y KEA Sitvii'e. Inc. .
As an American newspaper
correspondent in Berlin from
i 919 to 1941, Sigrid Schultz saw
at first hand the events that led
from World War I to World War
11. And she saw the behind-the-
scenes preparation for the com-
ing "war-iii-peace" that she
warr may culminate in World
War III, This is the story of
Germany's plans to win the
peace, plans that even now die
being pui into effect,
i * * *
II
W/'E do know, and we should
never forget, that the Ger-
man militarists consider us Ger-
many's principal enemy. Our
democracy is a symbol of hope to
the oppressed. As long as it sur-
vives, the nations the Germans
are determined to subdue will
never resign themselves to Ger-
man domination.
And we must draw the logical
conclusions from our knowledge,
calmly but quickly. As late as
the summer of 1943, German
propaganda still triumphed in the
belief of an appalling number ol
Americans and Britishers that the
mistakes of the Versailles Treaty
fathered the German aggressive
spirit which brought about the
Second World War.
Certainly the Treaty of Ver-
sailles was far from perfect. Cer-
tainly, too, the sufferings of the
German people were intense. But
only a. small fraction of that suf-
fering came from the terms of
the treaty. A great part of it
came as an aftermath of the war
itself and from the German mili-
tarists' determination to bootleg
Germany a new army.
But the Germans blamed us,
and our peace treaty. The more
sentimental of us echoed the
plaint. If we had not been so
unkind to the poor Germans at
Versailles, we said, they would
not have felt the need to rearm,
they would not have fallen prey
to a demagogue like Hitler. On
such lopsided, literally Jerry-built
logic, we based a whole theory
of war guilt, in which we were
both judfee and villain.
The truth is that German mili-
tarism never meant to give up the
fight when the German army sued
for armistice in 1918. It only went
under cover to lick its wounds.
Our alleged unkindness at Ver-
sailles had nothing whatever to
do with Germany's dedication to
another war and, should that war
fail, to still another.
The truth is that in August and
September of 1918, when they
were privately told by General
Ludendorff that defeat was immi-
nent, Germany's cleverest, most
ruthless men, the German General
Staff, the top-ranking industrial-
ists, and some of the most astute
university professors, came to-
gether with a strong common pur-
pose: to form a cabal powerful
and fanatic enough to make ready
a new army and to sweep Ger-
many to victory after a short
armistice.
# * #
ALL around Ludendorff in that
tense autumn of 1918, how-
ever, there was indescribable na-
tional confusion. The various
cliques seethed in a ferment; the
cabinet members despairing of
favorable armistice terms if the
Kaiser did not withdraw; the old-
time, feudally trained men among
the army officers supporting the
Kaiser's defiance: and the Kaiser
himself swaying from one bewil-
derment to another as the popular
discontent became too apparent to
enough, but with murder in their
hearts.
Many as the differences must
be, in circumstances and in back-
ground. the one great similarity
remains the same: the reason for
making the change—to despoil the
,'ictors of the fruits of victory.

During all these hazardous days
the industrialists, who had always
actively but discreetly directed
the government, kept themselves
far in the background. But they
were busy. All the men whom
Ludendorff had tipped off as to
a possible German defeat used
what private pressure they could
to bring about the abdication.
hands of the Social Democrat,
Friedrich Ebert. With tears in
rp'HE differences between the
closing days of World War I
and World War II are bound to
be many. One of the fundamental
dissimilarities lies in the persons
of the heads of state. As king
and emperor, the Kaiser auto-
matically commanded the absolute
loyalty of his officers, just as his
forebears had commanded the
loyalty of their ancestors. But, in
the eyes of the master-powers of
Germany, who has Ilitier ever
been? Just a rather vulgar little
man who was useful, whose dar-
ing, whose visionary qualities and
extraordinary insight emboldened
him to take steps which the more
respectable if equally ruthless
military commanders feared to
take. Further, being a commoner,
he could reach the' mind of the
masses. Separating from the
Kaiser was a hard wrench, like
parting from a close family mem-
ber—getting rid of Hitler, only a
pleasure to many of the key men
who have followed him obedienilv
his eyes, Prince Max begged him
' to "do whatever you can for the
German Reich."
To this Ebert replied, "I have
already given it two sons."
Both Ludendorff and his friends
hoped that the 14-point program
of President Wilson would soften
the terms imposed on Germany.
But they took no chances. Every-
thing within reach that could be
of use in future war, was effec-
tively hidden: blueprints for new
arms, models, materials, and
molds suddenly vanished. Luden-
dorff himself supervised the re-
moval of part of the general staff
files from the redbrick staff build-
ing near the Victory Column. He
also won the heart of his indus-
trial friends by ordering the re-
moval of most of the .documents
of the Kriegsamt, the War Office
branch responsible for tile manu-
facture of German war equip-
ment. These files contained proof
of the profiteering which had
made the rich industrialists richer.
I Once the Kaiser had lied, Lu-
dendorff fell he could move more
freely, for the high officers" on
whom so much of his plan de-
1 pended were no longer divided
{ between their obedience to him
' and their allegiance to their king
or emperor. •

"There is only one evil", wrote
Socrates, "that is ignorance." And ignorance it
obviously is, which sometimes prompts the care-
less car-owner to say that all motor ods are alike,
that there is no difference between any of them.
Oils vary in chemical composition, in stability,
in freedom from harmful impurities, in lasting
power, in ability to maintain viscosity, and in many
other ways as well.
That is why all intelligent car-owners naturally
prefer a quality oil. But not all of them know the
simple, easy way to- be sure of getting it, as ex-
plained by the following facts:
Phillips offers a number of oils because car-
owners' preferences vary almost as much as their
cars and pocketbooks. But when you want our
best oil, remember Phillips tells you frankly that
Phillips 66 Motor Oil is our finest quality . . . the
highest grade and greatest value .. . among all the
oils we offer to average motorists.
_ _ Figure the cost per year of draining and re-
filling with quality oil every two months, as experts
advise, as against the cost of using cheap oil; and it is
plainly foolish economy to take a chance. So when
making the seasonal change from summer-worn lubri-
cant, get quality by getting Phillips 66 Mocor Oil.

TERRE HAUTE, lnd. (UP) —
The death of 20 servicemen m
the wreck of the Dixie Flyer
passenger train at Terre Hauto
early this month has been de-
clared accidental in a coroner's
verdict.
Coroner I) M. Ferguson also
has returned a verdict of acci-

But he has returned no verdict
in the deaths of two crewmen—
Frank Blair of Farmersburg,
lnd., and Louis Rausch of Evans-

An inquest statement by . a
conductor on the Florida-bound
flyer said the train was ordered
to pass a north-bound mail train
at a siding north of Terre Haute.
He did not know why the Flyer
was not stopped. Ferguson say-;
only the engineer and fireman of
the Flyer, both injured fatally, in
the wreck, could explain the fail-
ure to stop.
