Show i PROVO, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, THURSDAY. AUGUST 24, 1944 Merry-Co-Round Editorial . . . . Organizing the Peace Six private, like-minded groups have banded band-ed to form a national association called Americans United for World Organization. Its policy calls for a world organization to be established immediately, with power to settle international disputes and to use xorce ib suppressing aggression auu main- taming peace. It might seem that there is little need for such an organization today. For it expresses what obviously is already the majority opinion of the American people as reflected m the stated policies of both presidential candidates and both party platforms as well as the two houses of Congress. Yet. it cannot be said that this majority opinion is unanimous. As everyone knows, there are many Americans who oppose any sort of league of nations and who think, though bludgeoned by evidence to the contrary, con-trary, that we can live aloof in the future, however much injustice or aggression may occur elsewhere in the world. Among those who think thus are a number num-ber of congressmen who, if they are in office when treaties of peace and peace organization organiza-tion are negotiated, could nullify the will of the majority. One announced purpose .of the AUWO is to oppose election or reelection re-election of isolationists. Heretofore the forces of isolationism have been better organized and more vocal than the unofficial groups which now form the AUWO. Under a unified leadership, they have been able to make themselves heard even though their doctrines could find no substantial backing from either party. Now at least it seems likely that the other side of the story can be circulated with the same intimacy and informality used so successfully success-fully by the isolationists. Of course there is always the possibility that such an association as the AUWO could be perverted to political ends, or used as a cloak for some insidious scheme. But the list of AUWO officers and sponsors tends to banish that fear. The list includes clergymen, educators, writers, lawyers, publishers, editors and business men of both.jarties There is a high measure of distinction in their professional records, and their combined history of efforts ef-forts for international peace is one of unanimous unani-mous devotion. The AUWO has a decisive opportunity to consolidate public opinion behind the safest, most sensible plan for ending war, and to maintain effective touch with the men who will devise that plan. ' We hope that the founders of the AUWO make the most of that opportunity, and" we wish them well. The Washington A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By Draw fast (Cl. KotM-r a n a M V ty) The Old Refrain The justice department has recently blasted American railroads because of the higher freight rates which prevail in the south and west on several types of commodities. com-modities. It talks of "transportation monopoly" monop-oly" and "private conspiracies" and "dis-scriminatory "dis-scriminatory rates." And while there may be much truth and much righteous anger in what the department says, there certainly isn't much that is new. These higher rates have existed for a long time. So has the debate as to whether they are just a plain evil or a necessary one. Numerous efforts have been made to correct the discrepancies, including a conference of southern and western governors which got nowhere. Last year the justice department made substantially the same charges against the railroads it is making now. Apparently nothing no-thing was done. And there is little if any new evidence in the current stataement by Assistant Attorney General Wendell Berge except a hint that "secret private agreements" agree-ments" of a monopolistic nature have been discovered. What are these secret agreements, and what is being done about them ? Mr. Berge says that "either the log jam must be broken brok-en by mandatory governmental orders prescribing pre-scribing lower rates, or else the industry's power to maintain its monopoly pricing must be broken." Certainly the government has power to do either where illegalities are involved. One might wonder where the interstate commerce com-merce commission has been during all this The ICC fixes maximum freight rates. If the railroads are violating these rate ceilings and have been these many years, it .vould seem that the time for tirades is past and the time for action is here. Mr. Berge puts the chief blame for the industrial under-development of the west and the south on the railroads. He charges that their high freight rates have n. . Jaded Jad-ed industrial expansion and have so hamstrung ham-strung present industry as to maintain a low living standard. It is hard to discover any logical reason for the railroads' doing this, since it obviously would threat en I heir future prosperity. American railroads have done a tremend-out tremend-out job these past three years in getting men and supplies from camp and factory to seaport, sea-port, and thence to battle. They have done this in spite of shortages. .That is fact, and not an attempt to forgive for-give them any illegal practices. But it does seem as if the justice department should either translate their accusations in to specific charges and do something about them, or else resist the temptation to yeli monopoly and let it go at that. Editor's Note: Since this was written the jsutice department has filed an antitrust suit against a group of railroads serving the west, which may or may not' be the answer to the problem. Jtl For aides feared he had made mistake in denying letter to Willkie; he admits he was caught off guard, proceeds with plans for parley; army sets up point system for releasing men after Germany's defeat; Truman's Tru-man's endorsement of McCarran, bitter FDR foe, puzzles Nevadans.

Only a few people knew the letter x- lsiea. me caroon copy was not rued with his reeul&r correspondence and the firm draft nf th letter had been written In his own handwriting for Grace Tullv. his secretary to copy. Only two people Inside the White House were supposed to know about it. Despite this, Willkie began to get queries about the letter two weeks after he received it. The news men making the inquiries cited White House sources, said they had the tip from presidential secr retaries. Willkie made no comment, never admitted receiving the letter, but he got the impression that the White House wanted the storv out Therefore, you could have knocked him over with a feather when the president replied to news men last week that he didn't know anythins: about writing Willkie a letter. Immediately after the White House denial appeared ap-peared In the press. Willkie's phone began buzzing buz-zing with Republican friends warning him that Roosevelt would always kick him in the teeth. They urged him to come out for Dewey. ARMY DEMOBILIZATION PLAN Here Is the Inside story on White House-War Department plans for demobilizing part of the army after the defeat of Germany. The war department is planning to release about 2.000.000 men Immediately Im-mediately after a German armistice. Under this plan, the army will set up a point system for every man in the service, and men with sufficient points will be retired. Here Is how the points will be calculated: 1. For each month In the service, every man will receive one point. 2. Each month overseas will count an additional point. 3. For each battle honor, a man will receive four points. 4. The congressional medal of honor or legion of merit will count four additional points. 5. Each bronze star denoting service in battle will count four additional points. 6. For every" child, a soldier wul receive eight points. 7. Married men without children will also re ceive eight extra points. There are still several Important gaps In this program which the army and the White House have not yet filled in. There still is no special credit for age. However, it is already decided that because the armv wul have a greater need for air men In the Pacific, a separate system will be set up for discharging dis-charging air corps veterans. Of course, the basic point which everybody wants to know Is: "How many points will a man need to get out?" That has not yet been determined. It has been determined, however, that at the end of the Atlantic war the navy does not plan to release any of its men. It can also be revealed that President Roose velt is anxious to discharge hardship cases first. When the president discussed this plan recently recent-ly with several senators, they asked him how he planned to handle the problem of policing Germany Ger-many and other occupied enemy territory after the armistice. He replied that he hoped to do so by using men who have learned to like the army, plus professional soldiers who were In the army before be-fore the selective service program got under way. He also plans to use men who have had no overseas experience and want to volunteer for it now. STRANGE POLITICS Out in Nevada, folks are beginning to say that Roosevelt politics, like the Lord, "worketh in strange ways." Exactly six years ago, the president had near the top of his purge list the name of Nevada's Senator Sen-ator Pat McCarran, who had voted against him most et the time. McCarran, however, was reelected. re-elected. Since his re-election, he has opposed Roosevelt even more bitterly, especially on vital war policies. Despite that. Senator Truman, FDR's running mate, has now publicly urged McCarran's re-election. Some Nevadans are wondering whether Truman Tru-man didn't bother to look up McCarran's voting record, or whether he just meant to give him the kiss of death. At any rate, when the president was trying to arm the country for Inevitable war with the Axis. McCarran voted right along with Wheeler. Nye and the other American Firsters. Here is is record: Against revising the neutrality act to permit aid to France and Britain! against conscription; in favor of keeping U. S. armed forces in the western hemisphere: against both lend-lease bills: against extension of the draft at a time when war obviously was just around the corner: against permission to arm U. SJ. merchant ships; against practically every ont of Roosevelt's war measures. meas-ures. In Chicago last month, when Senator Barkley was making his nominating speech. McCarran ostentatiously os-tentatiously got up, left the Nevada delegation, walked away. He did not return for the Roosevelt demonstration. Nevada newspapers commented on this, called it a slap at Roosevelt. So now Truman Tru-man turns the other cheek and Urges McCarran's re-election. MERRY-GO-ROUND Tom Dewey isn't talking about it now, but in 1937. when he ran for district attorney In New York, his largest campaign contribution came from CIO's Sidney Hillman it was $5,000. . . . When Dewey week-ends at his Pawling, New York home, the staff and news men covering him leave the state, stay at the Green hotel, Danbury, Connecticut, Connecti-cut, twenty miles away Week-ends when Dewey is at Pawling, and FDR vacations at Hyde Parle, the two candidates are only twenty-three miles away from each other. . . . Senator Harry Truman plays the piano in his spare time. . Dewey adviser Dulles doesn't seem to worry about gasoline, sports from Albany to New York by automobile auto-mobile regardless of rationing.

XVI- AT the end of October, a story was "planted" in the news papers to the effect that General Eisenhower had been recalled to the United States for a series of discussions. This rumor accounted for his absence, an absence later explained by the fact that the general gen-eral went to Gibraltar. He was given command of the fortress. "Never in my wildest dreams in my West Point days," he said, "did I ever think that I an American general would ever command the British fortress of Gibraltar." His headquarters were under 1400 feet of solid rock and constituted con-stituted 40 rooms. The only exercise exer-cise the general and his staff was able to get consisted of running to theif offices through a dripping tunnel. Many a private was startled star-tled at the sight of his commander and his staff sprinting through the narrow passageway. To outwit Hitler and divert German Ger-man attention. General Eisenhower Eisen-hower had ordered that units of American forces be outfitted for the Arctic. The Eisenhower strategy strat-egy worked perfectly. The Germans Ger-mans were reported to be bolstering bolster-ing their defenses in Norway. All through the night of Nov. 7, General Eisenhower worked in his cavern headquarters. Great events were impending: great chances were being taken. The die was being cast In his hand he held a Jecoded message. It was from Gen eral Marshall, back in Washington, and read: "You and your command sailed with the hopes and prayers of America. For months you have planned, trained, and conditioned yourselves for the great task ahead. Godspeed to your success. I have complete confidence In your leadership and in the aggressive fighting quality of your troops." General Eisenhower, his features fea-tures tense and lined by tremendous tremen-dous s -ain, read dispatches, issued orders, and waited. . . . On the morning of Nov. 8, 1942, the world was startled by the news: "he Americans have landed in North Africa." The greatest armada in the world's history, up to that time 850 ships had brought the first American army to the battlefront. They had landed during the night hours and at daybreak were engaged en-gaged in a gigantic pincer movement. move-ment. Within 76 hours they had won 1300 miles of the coasts of North and West Africa, advancing from Algiers and Morocco. Eisenhower, with the aid of the British, had outwitted Hitler and Mussolini. Q.ENERAL EISENHOWER'S only comment as he left Gibraltar to advance his headquarters to North Africa was, "The only thing I was disappointed in was the resistance re-sistance of the French Navy, particularly par-ticularly the coast batteries. We don't want to fight the French and they are opposing us, holding up the job and expending effort which might well be used against the common enemy Germany." General Eisenhower's mission was to liberate the French from their N:zl captives, not to engage in warfare against them. Appeal ing to thenr. in his name this mes sage was broadcast: "Frenchmen of North Africa, the forces which I hav. the honor of commanding, come to you as friends to make war against your enemies. This is a military "opera tion directed against the Italian- German military forces in North Africa. Our only objective is to defeat the enemy and to free France.

"We come, I repeat, as friends not as enemies, we shall not be the first to fire. Follow exactly the orders which I nave just given you. Thus you will avoid any possibility pos-sibility of a conflict, which could only be useful to our enemies. We summon you as comrades to the common fight against the invaders of France. The war has entered the phase of liberation." The voice over the radio, speaking speak-ing in General Eisenhower's name, rang out over land, sea and air. "Frenchmen of North Africa: Faithful to the traditional and age-old age-old friendship of the government and people of the United States for France and French North Africa, a great American army is landing on your soil. The purpose of the mission is to protect the people of French North Africa from the threat of Italo-German invasion. Our principal aim is the same as in 1917, that is to say, the annihilation of the enemy and the complete liberation of invaded France. The day when the Italo-German Italo-German threat no longer menaces French territory we will leave your soil. The sovereignty of France over French territory remains re-mains complete. We know we can count on your support to open the road which leads to victory and peace. All together we shall triumph." tri-umph." Within two days an armistice was reached the French ceased firing and Algiers and French Morocco surrendered on Nov. 9, 1942. NEXT: Why Darlan. How Women Vets Will Fare BY ANN 8TEVICK NEA Staff Correepondent Our girls in on the war, parley voo, they'll be in on the bonus too, Hlnky Dinky parley voo. Our girls may make up a vet erans' bloc of nearly a quarter of a million at war's end, counting WACS, WAVES, Marines, SPARS. Army and Navy nurses. They'll cash in on the hew benefits bonus outlined by the O. I. bill of rights- schooling loans, out-of-job pay, hospitalization, job hunting help. Veterans Administration in charge of the new program says a veteran s a veteran to them, filed under a number, so women vets are bound to get the same benefits as men. That leaves a few equality formulas for some legal Solomon to work out. For instance, what circumstances will entitle the married girl veteran to sign up for additional allow ances a married man veteran gets ? Ex-service girls will be going back to college, business schoel, beauty operating or teacher training at government expense up to $500 yearly for books and tuition, $50 a month living costs if single, $75 with a dependent. Offer is good for any 90-day veteran whose schooling was in terfered with by entering service and it's taken for granted for veterns who entered service before age 25. It's too early for precedent prece-dent to show, but people working on the program say the over-25 veteran who shows aptitude and can stand up to entrance require ments of the school she chooses from lists being made up by state governors won't have great trouble showing she was a potential prewar pre-war scholar. She'll get one year's school plus as much time as ue spent in service. They'll Hunt a Job For Her Girl veterans won t be selling apples on the street either. The G. I. bill of rights sets up elab orate job hunting machinery for them with a special veteran's job hunter on duty in U. S. Employ ment Service offices throughout the country. That special lien on the old job which veterans get in a clause of the Selective Service Act is good for women veterans too if they apply for their old Jobs within 40 days. The deal- with the old boss proceeds on an Informal basis unless un-less the veteran strikes a snag Then she can go through the local Selective Service Board up to the Department of Justice for free services of a U. S. attorney to argue her claim. Should times get so hard within two years of war's end or of her discharge, whichever is later, that this job hunting help fails to place her, the veteran of 90 days' serv ice can collect $20 weekly unem ployment pay for as" many as she spent in service up to 52.

Minutia By RUTH LOUISE PARTRIDGE Have been thinking for days of the article in. Time magazine which tells of a Nazi built crematory crema-tory at an extermination camp. Extermination camp for humans, not vermin. An extermination camp for such as you and I and our children, for we are not members of the German super race. We do not belong to the Nazi party. After the last war we here in the land of the free and the home of the brave behaved a little like idiots. We began almost at once to excuse and rationalize and belittle be-little and deplore. I hope to heaven heav-en we will not do it this time. The atrocity stories that we said were cooked up for propaganda in the last war were bedtime stories compared with the proven actual horrers that the Germans have perpetrated in this war. We are incapable of believing what we see? These monstrous things that have been done to people by a war crazy gang of insane men should never be forgotten. They should be gathered and we should be made to look at them, not once, but every year so that we will never, never forget to what depth a so called civilized nation can sink. Every time I hear someone some-one say we should be satisfied with something less than unconditional uncondi-tional surrender, I break out in a rash. Our only salvation is that they do not surrender, that they do not sue for peace. One bright spot has appeared, and that is Adolph Schiklegruber's determination determin-ation to kill off all the aristocrats in Germany. That's fine. That's what we might call poetic justice, for with the aristocrats will go also most of the brains. Extermination Extermin-ation camps, people burned by the hundreds every day and their ashes shipped to Germany to be used for fertilizer! And they were driven away. When I was a child. Germany meant poetry, and music, and exquisite dolls, and fine china, elegant porcelain, folk dancing and laughter, Christmas tree ornaments, sentimental picture pic-ture postcards at Easter and Christmas. What has become of that Germany? Where has it gone? One thing is sure, it is no longer on this earth. Questions About Manpower Rules (Editor's Note: Government manpower rules and policies affecting job changing, manpower man-power priorities and employment em-ployment ceilings have been set up to win the war faster. How do they affect YOU? Send your questions to the editor. They'll be answered in this column.) WOMEN ASK: Q. I am a girl 18 years old. 1 am a sales clerk in a retail jewelry store. Can I change Jobs? y A. Yes, you may change to any job you wish. Any woman now employed or working In a less essential job may take the work she pleases. Q. I have moved to Provo from Oklahoma.

Carey, Montana state treasurer since 1940, who was found dead in a hotel room in Spokane yesterday afternoon Carey, about 56, arrived in Spokane Friday, but the purpose of his trip was not known. His body was found by a hotel chambermaid, cham-bermaid, and the coroner said Carey had been dead at least several sev-eral hours. It was believed death was due to natural causes. When a woman comes home from the wars her government will back her up when she goes to the village bank or loan company or Aunt Glossy Funds for a loan to set herself up in a home, a farm, or a business. She probably can't convince the money-lender she's a promising farmer as easily as her ex-service brother, but she'll be a good risk for a beauty shop, interior decorating studio, t ea room or similar spot. The government gov-ernment guarantees half the first loan up to $2000. If a first loan is approved and guaranteed by a federal fed-eral agency, full amount of a sec ond loan will be guaranteed if total guarantee amounts to no more than $2000. Top amount will be a nice working capital of $4000 at 4 per cent, 20 years to repay, if she can get it. Government leaves the decision to the money lender but demands common sense terms of payment, price, and condition of property to be bought. Disability pay averaging $22.28 monthly, paid according to percentage per-centage of impairment, was going to 120 women veterans as of April 15. 1944, (102 WACS. 13 Army nursee, five WAVES).
