This Includes the girls, the WACs and the WAVES, and the Marines and the SPARS, at well as the sailors and soldiers on duty here or convalescing. s, Tells It to Marine With Good Results The other day a tobacco farmer over the district line In Virginia (Jones' territory doesn't run more than 125 miles from the White House) wanted to clear an acre of thick timber needed for firewood it takes a lot of smoke to cure the tobacco for your smokes. He couldn't hire help locally. Jones "told it to the Marines" (female) and some 50 answered with action. They cut the timber (trees of about 23 inches), sawed it Into eight-foo- t lengths, piled it up. And soldiers and sailors seem glad to take a week's furlough to go out and pitch hay. get in the wheat and tobacco crops, or turn a hand to ny other little chore. They say they consider it a great relief from loafing around a hospital or guarding government buildings or doing ny other of the strictly military Jobs they have. Even among the groups of girls, Jones says you'll find enough who can run a tractor or hitch and drive a team of horses.

In considering the boost, OPA officials recognized that many "B" card holders were salesmen or other people who depended upon the automobile for their livelihood, and present rations were insufficient to allow them an adequate range of coverage. Because a large part of black market withdrawals have come from "B" card holders, OPA said, an increase in their allotment would further decrease tke illegal sales. Because cuts in pleasure driving are not considered hardships, and rations for war workers and others are sufficient, there would be no increase in "A" or "C" rations, OPA officials said.

I'HRr--" Postwar German Underground Seen s. M t kSfc peach-pickin- There is nothing new to Europeans about an "underground monument" which might be defined as a group of persons, united by an idea, which persists as an opposition to a particular government with the purpose ol eventually overthrowing that government. With the defeat of Germany it can be taken for granted that two German movements will begin to burrow, perhaps retiring to "previously prepared positions" in the language of the communiques of a retreating army. They are the Junkers and the Nazis. At the present writing, for the first time in history, military control of Germany has been wrested from the hands of the junker-generalThey did their best to act on their ancient adage: "We as a caste, must always live to fight another day." A lost war to them is an incident and considered merely a k on the road to temporary To that eventual end they planned a peace before their ranks were too greatly weakened or their resources exhausted. But the Nazis stepped in, wrecked their plans. As a caste they will probably be completely destroyed, their estates and therefore their means of livelihood removed. What many people do not know is that the German high command had their own private funds, voted by the wmuii uiey managed guveruxuem, themselves for the benefit of the army. Whether the Nazis have obtained this, remains to be seen. But in any case, you may be sure the burning patriotism of those junkers who survive will keep an underground organization alive. And then comes the Nazis, with a younger but equally fanatical loyalty to national socialism. Their underground organizations we know are already prepared. Meanwhile there is a strong suspicion on the part of many persons in Washington that a 'third breeding place for totalitarian militarism is being cultivated right here in the Western hemisphere. In the past weeks I have received several letters and one telephone call protesting against the action ol the state department in breaking relations with Argentina. So far as I could tell the persons who communicated with me were perfectly honest. They all stressed the known fact that the chief characteristic of the Argentina attitude is traditionally nationalists. The inference was that the government was not American or and should be let alone. As a matter of fact, aside from Argentine's own aims there seems to be evidence that the German Nazis and perhaps some of the German Junkers are transferring their wealth to Argentina. There is not the slightest doubt that the Buenos Aires government has aided and abetted in the spread of propaganda and ii that, at this very moment looking sympathetically on the activities ol Nazi agents within its borders. The army has long been indoctrinated with Prussian militarism through itf officers who have been trained ir Germany. Unless the United States takes the lead in applying sanctions in the form of a strict embargo on Argentina, we may find ourselves with war of aggression on oui hands right here in our own hem! sphere. In the case of Argentina we ma be witnessing not only the growth ol a powerful military dictatorship but one which will be used to nourisr and sustain the very forces whict we have spent our blood and wealtt to suppress in Europe an "over ground" underground. ; Thursday, August 24, 1944 t4f?
