' OF FUMBLING AND BICKERING The office of war information has rebuked Rubber Director Jeffers for his charges, made before a council of state governments at llaltimore, that the vitally necessary production of synthetic rubber, gasoline and escort vessels is being held up by army and navy expediters in war production plants. v orf U t nc bcwvicz.

Certainly the army auA the navy and the WPB know this better than the civilian, and are taking steps to remedy the situation. The most recent of these steps is the WPB proposal to assure more material for escort vessels by limiting construction of synthetic rubber factories to 55 per cent of the plan. Mr. Jeffers, aware of the urgent need of rubber, doesnt like this 55 per cent cut. He told the Baltimore forum that there was a perfectly simple answer to the problem: Lets have a little more practical th'nking. Well, that ought to help even if it isnt the whole answer, At least it should avoid repetitions of the recent incident in Gary, Ind., where, according to a war department spokesman, a synthetic rubber plant was canceled after $3,000,000 had been spent on it because its construction involved excessive cost of critical material.

UEI ARMY' United States military observers explain recent Russian successes in terms of a development not generally realized in the United States liberation of the generals from political domination. Under the system which prevail ed in Russia in the early months of the war, the Red generals were responsible to the political commissars. This made them overcautious, prevented daring, resolute action. Then came the requirement that commissars themselves take military training and indoctrination. thinking .about two things dur ing the 12 hours we had flown from Panama he had been thinking about the war, and what it would be like to get home again. We wanted news of the first and the sensation of the second. We clambered out of the plane and almost ran to .the airport waiting room to get newspapers. We got ' them. Across the top of the front page were two big head lines. The first gave the latest local racing results! The second recorded the results of the local election. War news was buried in insignificant bits through the paper. We pushed on to another city for the night. We went to town from the air base to sense home again. But somehow seeing people rushing about in cars, apparently intent only on movies or juke box dancing, and seeing people take the luxuries of soda fountains and restaurants and limitless food for granted this wasnt as home ought to be in comparison to the hardships on the front, lt was a shock. Since then $ have seen quite & bit of America at war. What I have seen and heard and felt has changed that shock to one of content. Of course, one can find plenty about the American home front to make one boil. There are people who chisel on food rationing, wholl gyp in order to get more gas just for pleasure driving. There is some waste and corruption. There are some labor leaders who are coining power out of the nations travail. There are also some men of wealth who are just as improperly coining more wealth out of these troublesome times. But I have learned that all these things are relative, and that when you see them in true perspective America is honest and decent and sincere and doing an extraordinary job on the home front. . . Inside word regarding the Casablanca discussions is that 99 per cent of them were military. Very little in the way of international politics was discussed.

One of the soldiers wondered if the President's wife had been there with em. On the Presidents desk, one of the men left his silver wings, a Paratrooper's most treasured possession.
