Hood.. A 'Seventh Column? How aliout mixing: a fine metaphor in true Irish style, anil saying' that the Filth Column is now on the other foot? Reports from several of the occupied countries of Europe suggest that a little Fifth Columning u now being tried in reverse. Like this: Hitler takes over a country, with the aid of sympathizers within, who sabotage and disorganize defense. But those people were only a minority, after all. There is an even greater minority, perhaps a large majority, of people who are not fond either of Nazism or Germans, and who latterly and .sullenly resent the occupation of their fatherland by alien troops, no matter how polite and ingratiating the invaders are instructed to be. As the initial shock wears off. these people begin to turn their resentment into deeds, small and unorganized at first, but later more daring and bettor organized, which tend to i undermine the occupying lorces. -fi For instance, throe Norwegians have been sentenced to death for radioing information to the British. That is merely mere-ly a straw. The wind evidently blows in such a way as to indicate widespread spying lv Norwegians, wand a constant relaying of information to the British. Certain British air raids clearly suggest inside information on the exact location of military objectives. Similarly in Denmark, one air raid in particular rg-gested rg-gested "inside collaboration." There were four oil tanks in this town, and air raiders concentrated on only two of them, ignoring the other two. They were empty. Repressive measures have had to bo taken by the invaders in-vaders ap linst the Dutch for "non-co-operation," and there are rumors that extensive sabotage has taken place in the Skoda munitions works seized from the Czechs when hat fountry was overrun. , . - Such things may be repressed. But repression tends to destroy whatever good effect has come from studied efforts io mollify the population of conquered territories. This is not to suggest that any of the conquered territories terri-tories are ripe for an uprising against the conquerors. That is highly unlikely, oven if food should become scarce this winter. But the position of the German armies of occupation occupa-tion can scarcely be pleasant, and the efficiency of producers working without a shadow of incentive or hope cannot be of the highest. Meanwhile a gradually - organizing opposition, spying, sabotaging in every conquered country is a distinct possi bility. We know the Fifth Column. Some people have tagged direct opposition to it a Sixth Column. Now perhaps Europe' is seeing the beginnings of a versed and backfiring against rr" f i I f vs 1 ' ., V.'

Defense Program Boom Won't Cut WPA Rolls Says Writer BY BRUCE CATTON" I i)y Herald Washington Corresp-or.vtrnt WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 Despite, De-spite, the re-employment e;xpected to come because of the defens program, there seems to be little chance WPA rolls will go dwn much at any time in the very near future. There are now shout 1.GD0.000 people on WPA, with a mid-winter peak of something like 2,300, -O')0 anticipated. Employment in private industry is increasing, and close to 100.000 people leave WPA for outside jobs every month; but the catch is that WPA's "back log" its list of registered relief clients awaiting WPA jots hasn't been shrinking a bit. On the contrary, it haj actually been rising. It stands now at about 1,000,000 second highest total in WPA history, exceeded only by the waiting list built up after the 1937 crash. What that means is simply that every time one man quits WPA there are 10 more waiting to take his place. lUTLNSK HASN'T IICLI'H) SOUTH Various explanations are offered. of-fered. Chief immediate reason for the ri.se in the waiting' list is a recent increase in reliefers in the South, which so far has received few benefits from defense spending, spend-ing, which has virtually lost its cotton markets overseas, and which has lately been hit by a number of floods and tornadoes. Beyond that is the fact that defense-industry re-employment is both spotty and slow. It is noticeable notice-able in industrialized areas, almost al-most invisible in other places. Such important defense industries aa shipbuilding, aircraft, machine tools, aluminum manufacturing, explosives and the manufacture of engines cuirently employ fewer than 350,000 men all told; they could double their labor requirements require-ments without making a real dent in the total of jobless. Lastly, Congress last spring forced WPA to make a drastic cut in its rolls, the labor market wasn't able to absorb all of those cut off, and many of them are back waiting for reassignment to Wl'A Jobs. Barling a basic change in the work-relief policy, there is little chance of a real cut in WPA until re-employment is extensive enough to dip into that million-man million-man waiting list of certified relief re-lief clients.

Tor a ltmg moment he seemed stunned, stood looking in at the horses through the gaping hole the wind had torn in the corner cf Eel Taylor's barn. He was clammy with the thought of what might have happened, to the; women. A cyclone had lipped through Taylor's, raked the roof tiff one side of the barn, upset the wagon. The wagon! The wagon! That Was it. Mark remembered the overturned over-turned wagon by the dugout. With the hist fury of that storm Carrie and Mrs. Taylor would have lushed for the shelter of Ed's shallow cellar. The wagon had overturned on the heavy door, pinning them in. Murk saw it all clearly now. With a iy, he ran from the barn to the dugout, culling, "Carrie "Car-rie ! Carrie! Mrs. Taylor!" Are you in there? Are you all right?" But the wind swept his words away. lie reached the cellar, saw the storm had overturned only the I'u.lht wagon box end that the eloor was free of the wheels. Almost frantically then, Mark tugge'd at the' box, pulling it away. "Carrie! Mrs. Taylor!" he shouted as he jerked the heavy bOX. "Men k Mark!" It was Carrie. "That you, Ed?" came . a second Voice. With one final heave, Mark cleareel the eloor, pulled it open. Cairie and Mrs. Taylor, while and thohevcled, stood before him. J7XACTLY what happened after that Mark never knew except that Mrs. Taylor was inquiring anxiously about Ed. he was reassuring re-assuring her, and Carrie, crying suftly, was close in his arms. It seemed an eternity they stood there, before he remembered that they were in -.rater danger than ever. The fire was burning rtraight towaid the soddy.

In the pemi-darkness Maik felt his way through the barn door, into the stalls. The horses, sens ing the danger, their nostrils irri- tate-u by the smoke, pawed nervously, nerv-ously, backed out quickly when he untied them. He led them to the wagon, hoisted the box back on the wheclbase. Then he hooked the traces, whirled around the little farmyard and rattled up to the Eoddy. lie jumped down, yelled, "Car-rie, "Car-rie, Mrs. Toylor!" stopped short, as if 'hot! IT WAS RAINING! TT came like that, the rain that night at Rock . Creek. The air charged, suffocating one minute; purged, cooling the next. Mark remembered that he'd ft It the first warning drops on his face as he rode through the burni'mr bottom lands from Carrie's to Taylor's, but in the anxiety of the moment he had dismissed them. The fire, eating its way steadily towaid the Tiomesteads, had seemed inii- r.itely closer. They were - discussing nil this. the fire, the cyclone, the experi ence in the dugout, over a breakfast break-fast of corn cakes and salt jvirk the next morning at Taylor's. The rain that had started the moment Mark drove the wagon up in front of the soddy had continued all night, had completely drowned out the fire. Big Ed. black, soakim: wet but happy, had come home in the ir.l.L t of it. So the breakfast was a celebration extraordinary. Ed, looking out of the window- at the black, -water-soaked bot tom-lands, which had hi azed so fiercely a few hours earlier, began chuck hnrj, turned fo Carrie.

"Why, yes and no, Ed. I hked that home-dead, but you get your plans changed for you once in a while, you know." Carrie, listening closely, looked up ruddenly, a bit startled.

Now, iiding back to Sioux Spiings in the hot midday sun, ho recalle-d Carrie's sudden interest in his words and the thought left him infinitely happy. " lie was thinking of her and the blunt way in which Ed Taylor had readied conclusions for both of them, when he looked up to see a man riding hard, .out of Sioux, Springs, toward him. Instantly, Mark was alert, spurred his own horse. The figure drew closer a ta'J rider on "a fast sorrel. Mark i -niz-d the horse'. It was Newt Gale's. A see-ond later he knevv the man.
