Do you remember the historic press conference of the Food Committee Commit-tee for War the one" to which newspapermen news-papermen were invited to hear the businessmen announce a specific program for curing our food troubles? AH the big shots were represented manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, packers, farmers,' the farmers' union. They were going to show up those college professors of the OPA. - What happened? Oh, yes. They apologized to the reporters for troubling troubl-ing them. It seems that the business men hadn't been able jo evolve the specific program they promised, so they. couldn't announce it. ; , Anybody is entitled to curse any governmental agency for actuar failure's, fail-ure's, but let's be fair, Another Freedom The Atlantic Charter does not proclaim pro-claim nor does our Bill of Rights guarantee this freedom, yet we have retained it intact because, in our most pessimistic moments, . we have faith that nobody "bred in democracy, will choose anything else. It is freedom to listen to the other fellow's arguments. argu-ments. . It must shock authoritarians to. read that in the midst of the Sicilian campaign cam-paign our soldiers and saliors listened listen-ed freely to German and Italian propaganda prop-aganda programs. Can you imagine any German, Japanese or Italian newspaper carrying, as a regular feature, a list of enemy shortwave stations with their megacycle position and the hours when they broadcast "news" doctored for foreign consumption? con-sumption? t Such things as this, among many others, mdke it good to be an American D D 0 0 Double Talk The Office of Price Administration is in a very enviable position. It was established to perform certain duties which inevitably irritate, in one way or another, almost every man, woman wo-man and child in the country. We do not feel that OPA has functioned func-tioned satisfactorily. We have criticized critic-ized it frequently and often bitterly, for various misfeasances and nonfeasances. non-feasances. There is no reason to doubt tKat we sholl do so again. But with all its faults the OPA has justified its existence. It never had a chance to stop inflation all by itself. it-self. It could do no more than sit on the safety valve while, inside the boiler, a disastrous over-pressure was being built up as other agencies permitted incomes to skyrocket against an undersupply of purchasable purchas-able commodities. In spite of which inflation in the prices of coiitroHed . 'Ccttimodities has been small compared with that in the prices of uncontrolled goods. That is why one's - blood boils at jjuch Rouble talk as appears in a recent, re-cent, retail grocers' magazine which pays superficial tribute to the nec- essity of having a price control agency and then goes on to denounce de-nounce price control as unconstitutional unconstitu-tional and un-American and to urge that retail grocers defy the OPA flatly. This is strange talk from a group which, according to Department of Commerce figures, up to the end of April had been making the greatest profits in its history. That date is mentioned not because retail grocers groc-ers stopped making record profits' then, but merely because detailed statistical records for the intervening J period are not at hand. 4Th& business of Jap self-sacrifice tying -themselves' irr coconut trees ajid sniping is, except perhaps- in -a few scattered iKstanceX -legendary. -Oapt:- Gerald - H. ;Shecr, r Guadalcanal Guadal-canal jighter.,: ' CHAT BY TUB &DIXOB Don't let yourself get all steamed steam-ed -up over racial animosities! . It's easy to do, if you let yourself your-self go, right now, in the midst of the war. We have Japanese-Americans, and negroes in our midst for the first time, and quite a few of us are getting worried , about it. There is no particular valid reason why people of other races can't live side by side in the same community com-munity in this country, supposedly a "melting pot" of races and peoples. We don't want to fall into Hitler's Hit-ler's twisted Nazi 'doctrine of a "master race." If we are not careful care-ful in our dealings with people whose skin is of a different color, we might find ourselves preaching a new variety of Hitler's gospel. The war we are fighting now, won't bo the last war, if we allow ourselves to get animated by racial prejudices. The next war in such case might become the long feared race war which might spell the doom of civilization, if any is left after this war is over.

Recently a voice excitedly phoned the editor of one of the leading dailies of Caracas saying that a flood, earthquake and tidal wave had completely wiped out the port city of La Guaira. The editor stopped the presses, grabbed grab-bed a pencil and began to scribble the facts as related by the "eyewitness." "eye-witness." After a few seconds, however, the . editor got suspicious. "Tell me," he said, "if everything is flooded in La Guaira, how in the hell can you be telephoning me?" "Oh," replied the informant. "I'm a shark!"

THOMAS D. MASTEKS Written for NKA The war is irt some degree altering alter-ing the life of nearly every child in the .world. The displacement of the usual peacetime pattern is due to such factors as altered family relationships and home conditions, con-ditions, unusual emotional experiences, ex-periences, the transportation of infectious agents and shortages of food. It would be desirable if the effects of this war could be determined deter-mined by studies made during the last war. (The magnitude of. the present conflict, however, so overshadows over-shadows the last that the basis Of comparison is inadequate. The birth rates dropped sharply during the last war. In 1917 and' 1918, the infant mortality rates rose abruptly. Children born dur ing the period of food shortage were unsually susceptible to every sort of contagious disease such as tuberculosis .influenza and paraasitic infestation. Deficiency diseases such as scurvy and rickets were widespread and are obvious effects of malnutrition. Infants born tp undernourished mothers showed few signs of injury and generally appeared to be in good condition. Growth Retarded The restriction of food also retarded re-tarded the rate of growth and size of children born during the last war. :These" were later compensated com-pensated for when adequate food - was available, and ' by the time these children reached puberty, their weights and heights coincided coincid-ed with those of the average normal nor-mal adolescent. Major mental or nervous disturbances dis-turbances attributable to war were not found significant among the children of the last war. Minor nervous ner-vous symptoms such as mild speech defects .fears of bombing or capture, nightmares and restlessness rest-lessness at night were numerous. The inability to concentrate, fatigue and irritability were prevalent prev-alent among school children and usually attributable to malnutrition. malnutri-tion. The absence of fathers and frequently mothers from the home resulted in relaxed discipline and some increase In juvenile delinquency. de-linquency. The psychological fac-ters fac-ters also appeared to be "transient and, according to the means available avail-able for their measurement, normal nor-mal behavior was soon resumed with the return of peace. First Effects Appearing An insufficient time has elapsed to detect all the effects upon children of the present war, and the full story is not yet in. The infant mortality rates, however, are again on the increase in Europe Eu-rope and presumably in Asia. Contagious Con-tagious diseases such- as pneumonia, pneu-monia, diphtheria, "cerebro-spnial fever and scabies have shown a definite increase in Britain. The same mnior nervous disturbances are reported, but as before no serous se-rous mental trouble has been found. In France, the size and height of children has already been discovered to be below average av-erage because of malnutrition. The means of recognizing and controlling control-ling deficiency diseases is far advanced ad-vanced over 25 years ago, and this knowledge may serve to buffer the shortages of food. The children of America have been spared the violent experiences experi-ences of bombing, invasion and famine. The laxity of home discipline dis-cipline while fathers are in the armed forces and mothers engaged in defense work has been followed follow-ed by some increased delinquency, but otherwise no significant changes have been recorded. Q's and A's Q Who is the American commanding com-manding general for field forces in the European theater of operations opera-tions ? A Maj. Gen. Leonard T. Ge-row. Ge-row. Q The president of what country coun-try has recently died? A China 79-year-old Lin-Son.

A Maria Lee was a Negress of tremendous strength, who ran a boarding house for sailors in colonial colo-nial Boston. The services of Black Maria wore frequently needed, to take disorderly persons to- jail; hence, the name. Q Who first conceived the idea of using paratroops in battle ?

NKA SKRVICK. INO. . THE TRUCK CHAPTER VIII JOE PARKER and now Randolph Ran-dolph Atherton! Later Pat forgot, for the most part, the terror that swept over her like a bitter wind as she stared at Randolph Atherton's lifeless body and the long, thin knife that protruded from between be-tween his shoulder blades. After the first shock had passed, she knew she must reach a telephone tele-phone and, suddenly, the farm house a quarter of a mile back up the road seemed as far away as Tibet. High heels were not made for comfortable walking, especially on a windswept highway, and Pat found the going hard, but she gritted 'her teeth and kept on. Once, when her foot slipped on a patch of snow and a sharp pain knifed through her ankle, she tried aloud. - The young farmer - who answered; an-swered; her knock took one look at her disheveled appearance and took if for granted that something some-thing was wrong. He opened the door wider. Inside, Pat felt better. The warmth from the leaping fire in the grate drove some of the tension ten-sion from her body. She turned to the young man. f C'Have you a telephone?" Silently, he motioned to the table by the window. - "There there's a man down the road," she fumbled for a suitable explanation. "He's dead murdered.?.; mur-dered.?.; She . saw the excitement and suspicion that leaped into his eyes and went on: "I will you go back -with ; me when I've called the police in Midvale?" 1 "YesV Miss." . He seemed to be considering her words rand Pat knew what he was., thinking. , ' f J 11st a minute,' . The farmer had crossed the roam to her side. He took-toe instrument from her hands. "I'll call for you." He told the operator to get the police station, then handed her the telephone. The desk sergeant barked into her ear. She told him what had happened and heard his excited "Be right with you, Miss Cleveland." She hung up and looked around at the young farmer, who was standing behind her. "I'm sorry,. Ma'am," he apologized, apolo-gized, rather embarrassed. "But, you see " "Forget" it," Pat interrupted, "I know just what you meant Ready?" . "TJAVE swung his car Viciously by the 'Road Closed" sign and sped down the highway toward the bridge that the Atherton company was building. Sight of the couple hurrying out of the farm yard brought a startled gasp from him. He slammed on the brakes and the car rocked to a wild stop. "Pat!" Dave yelled, jumping out. "Are, you all right?" He caught her hands in his. "Pat, whatever has happened? You look like" His voice-faded into a questioning question-ing silence. Pat bit her lips to stop their trembling. "Atherton isdead. The wind whipped the words from her lips and flung them out across the hopeless gray world. She shivered convulsively. "You poor kid, Dave muttered. She was in his'rms then, sobbing sob-bing her .heart out against his shoulder. f - The tall farmer' Mike Cassidy, ended the suspense by repeating what Patricia had told him.

Pat told Dave and Clem, who! were riding inside with her while the other two mec stood on the running boards, that Randolph Atherton had denied sending the red roses to Joe Parker's funeral. "Maybe he didn't, Patricia," Clem suggested dubiously "MaybeNo." "May-beNo." "What? Pat and Dave asked together. The sports editor gave them a fleeting, apologetic . smile. "Never mind," he said. "Were you by any chance coin. to say that maybe someone else used Atherton's name?" Dave guessed, and Clem nodded. . "Something like that, only it hardly makes sense." He might have gone on. but lust then Sam Blair leaned , down and yelled in at them: "Ease up a bit, Dave. A truck just stopped at the car. - The truck driver was starine pop-eyed at the body when they drew alongside. He swallowed hard and pointed, too shocked to speak. "Yeah, Pop, we know," Blair snapped. "Know what happened?" "Pop" shook his head dumbly. "No," he said, "but he wasnl there when I went down a while, ago." Pat felt a tight little knot swell up in her throat. Her knees felt like they had turned to water and she tightened her hold on Dave's arm to keep from falling.' 1'.-... ... d "Was your truck the last one to pass here?" she asked ' the" truck driver.

Never was an event in North America more carefully stage-managed in a deliberate attempt to make his tory. The dramatic arnvai President Roosevelt - at Quebec's anceint Citadel where they called out a guard of honor and a scarlet-coated Mountie band in a spectacular spec-tacular sunset welcoming ceremony cere-mony was merely the curtain-raiser curtain-raiser for the bigger things to come. Every act is pointed toward the day when the final results of the conference f will be announced. That climax is being given a terrific ter-rific publicity build-up. More than 100 newspaper men, photographers and radio spielers are here, assembled as-sembled deliberately to convey the big news, whatever it turns out to be, at the correct psychological moment, to a world figuratively sitting on the edge of its chair, waiting bug-eyed and elephant eared, nerves all a-twitter, fingernails finger-nails chewed right down to the knuckles. If the news at the end isn't actually world-sl)aking, for the United Nations as well as the Axis, the Quebec Conference will go down as the biggest bust in history. To get yourself in the proper frame of mind for receiving the breath-taking news that must come out of .the Quebec Confer ence, get nrmiy- iixea in yum mind's eye the setting of the stage : The whole affair is being conducted con-ducted on three levels lower, higher and highest by some 400 American, British and Canadian staff officers, politicians and advisers: ad-visers: The lower-level part of it is the duty of the pick and shovel officers who do all the work. A small group of experts on some one phase of military operations is given a particular task to do and sometimes it is done without knowledge of what the men in the next room are working on. Tho hitrhAr iavpi mart of it is the generals and admirals Marshall, King, Arnold, Pound, Portal and their gold-braide ilk who tell the lower levels what to figure out, then okay it or more often send it back to be done over. At the highest jevel are Roosevelt Roose-velt and Churchill, with maybe Mackenzie King of Canada thrown in for good measure on some phases, who will okay and announce an-nounce what the higher levels have told the- lower levels to figure out. Quebec, itself, is like that, too. Up on the highest level, hundreds of feet above the St. Lawrence River, in the old citadel which is the "summer residence of Canada's Can-ada's Governor General, are the apartments of Mackenzie King, Churchill and Roosevelt, the highest. high-est. ' A hundred feet or more below the citadel is the Chateau Fronte-nac, Fronte-nac, 200-room Caandian Pacific Hotel which has been taken over by the higher level and the lower personnel, for living quarters and workroom. The steeply gabled green Norman roof and top floors of the Chateau tower overlook the citadel and the Plans of Abraham beyond. The higher he admiral or general, the higher his room in the tower, with the very highest of the higher being on the Royal (formerly the thirteenth ) floor. It was renamed when the King and Queen visited Canada, just before the war. There was some difficulty in moving out all the regular guests of the hotelln preparation for this conference. Some of them had been living there for year, paying their bills on time. But the governments gov-ernments are footing the bills fof the conference now and nobody inside the Chateau pays directly for any of the regular hotel services. ser-vices. The checks are just signed with name and room number. Some place, sometime, somehow, some taxpayer eventually will foot the bill. .

PM has teen riding the shirt off anyone who ever succumbed to thr wiles of Mussolini and received from him a Fascist decoration. Especially PM has been riding Generoso Popo, Italian-bern New Ytork newspaper publisher, now ardently anti-Mussolini, because ho. once accepted a decoration from II Duce and once gave the Fascist salute before the grave of the Unknown Italian Soldier. What the editors' of PM apparently don't know is that their own financial godfather and publisher, Marshall Field, himself, also received a Fascist decoration from Mussolini. Mr. Field bears the title "Commendatore," and so far as any published records show, he has not returned the decoration to II Duce. Marshall Field went even further and was elected president of the Italy-America Society on Jan. 27. 1930, when Mussolini was in his heyday and when Italy-America Society was considered by many as an adjunct of fascism. On Nov. 24, 1931, he was also reported by' New York newspapers as being present at a special dinner in honor of Count Dino Grandi. Mussolini's foreign minister and Ambassador to London. On Jan. 26, 1932, Feld was re-elected president presi-dent of the Italy-America Society. After this term expired, he was elected a mmber of the Executive Committee in 1934. Even as late as April 21, 1937, after Mus-solinia Mus-solinia had horrified the civilized world with his rape of defenseless Abysshia, had torn down the peace machinery of the League, and was pouring arms into Spain to support a Fascist dictator, Marshall Field continued to consort ' with Italian Fascists in New York. On that date, he was reported in attendance at a dinner dance in honor of Italian Ambassador Suvich given by the Italy-America Society. Yet Marshall Field's newspaper now pound.s away almost daily at everyone who ever received re-ceived a Fascist decoration. NOTE: Real fact is that Generoso Pope went to Rome in 1937 at the request of Rabbi Stephen S. Wise to try to dissuade Mussolini from his - campaign against the Jews. While there he was invited to lay a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and that was the occasion of PM's picture of him giving the Fascist salute. JOHN L LEWIS DESERTS WILLKIE One of the historic political speeches of the 1940 campaign came when John L. Lewis deserted de-serted Roosevelt for Willkie. John L. had been one of Roosevelt's most powerful supporters, had contributed more than $250,000 to his first political campaign, had voted the United Mine Workers for him almost to a man. He had receive from Roosevelt in return re-turn the famous Section 7A of the NRA giving giv-ing workers the absolute right of collective bargaining. He had secured Roosevelt's blessing bless-ing for the Guffey coal act, for the National Labor Relations Board and a dozen other benefits bene-fits for labor. So a lot of people could not believe, until John L. Lewis actually went on the air, that h would desert his old friend Roosevelt. However, Lewis even risked being deserted by his union as its members did desert him on election, day by coming out for Willkie. Now John L. Lewis is about to executo another switch. Talking to a prominent newspaperman news-paperman the other day, he proclaimed himself him-self vigorously against his old friend Willkie. Gov. Tom Dewey of New York, he indicated, was the man the Republicans should nominate for President. SLICK TACTICS Here is how a Chicago Tribune reporter sprung the news leak that the OPA would not it tne Dan on eastern pleasure driving, though v decreasing the mileage ration of the middle west, Ex-Congrssman McKeough, OPA regional administrator in Chicago, had announced that he had received the new gas rationing instructions instruc-tions from Washington, but that no public announcement an-nouncement would be made for several days. Whereupon a Chicago Tribune reporter telephoned the OPA's mail distribution "room in Chicago and represented himself as someone in the OPA rationing department. "My copy of the new rationing instructions is poorly mimeographed," he told one of the stenographers. "It must be a third or fourth run. I don't want to bother Mr. McKeoutrh about it, so would you please read me your copy. So the obliging young lady read to the Chicago Tribune reporter the new and highly I Lu.uiucuuoi -gasoline rationing rules - just received re-ceived from . Washington. ICKES OPPOSED Inside fact is that the OPA did its best to abolish the .'pleasure driving ban in the East, but ran up against the ' firm hand of Petroleum Administrator Ickes. He has never been too enthusiastic about the public going back to pleasure driving, has warned of the danger of tuei 011 snortage next winter. x The OPA, however, was all set to lift the J pleasure ariving Dan; naa made complete plans to do so when Ickes said he would have to be allowed time to bring in extra gasoline from the midwest. He pointed out and it is an inescapable fact that gas reserves in the East are low, and he would have to build those reserves up if there was to be .a new drain on them from pleasure driving. Therefore he demanded at last two weeks to haul in the gas which the midwest will not use as a result of is curtailment. curtail-ment. WAITING AT THE GATE Gov. Matt Neely of West Virginia. has been a familiar figure around the White House for 32 years. Nevertheless, the other day he was kept under suspicion at the White Housa- gates for 15 minutes. The Governor first served in Congress in 1911. He was one of the original Roosevelt Senators, and has been one of the President's close friends and staunch supporters,. So when he arrived at the White House gates the other day, he said: "I'm Matt Neely. I have an engagement to see the President." "Sorry, but you'll have to show ydur identi fication papers," replied the guard. Gov. Neely fished- around in his pockets but could find nothing. In West Virginia al most everyone knows him. He doesn't have to be identified. Finally, Walter "Bill" HaVt. odi- . tor of the Morgantown, W. Va., Dominion -News, who accompanied him, displayed his press card. It was signed "by Matthew Neely, Governor of West Virginia." This was sufficient to get Hart into the White House. So. since Neely's signature was good, but not his face, Hart went inside, leaving the Governor standing at the gate. White House receptionist Walter Simmons, hearing Hart's story, came to Gov. Neely's aid,' J and the President later made uo for lost time. (Copyright, 1943, by. United Feature ' Syndicate, Inc.) ' j ; f. 'f ' . , - V k . V |
