THE INEVITABLE EFFECT . . .
G It is no wonder that the Senate War Mobilization Committee
in a recent report declared that the home front is “sagging dan-
gerously.’’ A free people have found themselves shackled by
bureaucratic red tape at almost every turn.
They try to increase production —they try to get a war
job— they try to raise crops — and in many instances they are
slowed down or actually stopped by some restriction, decree or
law that has so complicated our economic life that a citizen
used to do things for himself is stumped by a multiplicity of
bosses.
Don’t forget that the success of our war effort has been
due to the drive of free private enterprise. Don’t expect to ham-
string that enterprise and not confuse and bewilder, and even
destroy, the spirit of individual initiative and independence which
built, maintained and must perpetuate this nation if our coun-
try remains as we have known it.

“The food needs of the nation can only be met in the long
run by the age-old plan of work and pay, and not by running the
farmer like a monkey up and down a prophetic stick,’ says Her-

Actually, advertising saves people a lot of money, be-
cause it creates mass demand—and mass production
always leads to lower prices. That l|50th of a cent

'T'HE Great Lakes and the Norfolk
1 service ball teams have been
picking up most of the publicity as
the two outstanding
along the war
front.
combinations
A new challeng-
er has now en-
tered the field
with a blast of
bugles and a roll
of drums.
This challenger
thinks it has been
overlooked. We
refer to the New
Cumberland team
that meets the
Tom Hughe*
star-littered Norfolk bunch in Nor-
folk over this week-end.
I can break the news to both Nor-
folk and Great Lakes that New Cum-
berland’s team is no soft touch.
It had won 22 straight games un-
til Washington's Senators beat them
2 to 1 a few days ago on Vernon's
homer in the eighth. Still 22 out of
23 isn’t too moth-eaten. Over 4,000
tackled a rain to see this game at
Harrisburg's Island Park.
New Cumberland’s erack pitcher
is Tom Hughes of the Phillies. Lynn
Myers from the Cardinals and Pat
Mullen from the Tigers lead the at-
tack.
These three are not the only high-
class players on the team’s roster—
a team that expects to take Norfolk
in tow by Sunday afternoon.
Perhaps it won’t, as Norfolk with
Rizzuto and many other stars, is on
a par with any big league squad.
Great Lakes will also have some-
thing to say in a loud voice about
any service title.
Navy and Sport
Our navy believes with a big part
of our army that sport, handled in
the proper way, is something more
than slightly important.
It is now well understood that
those colleges, for example, who
have navy recruits can carry out
at least some sort of a football pro-
gram.
Those colleges taken over by the
prmy, so far as football is con-
cerned, will return to the deep-tan-
gled wildwood, where the whang
doodle mourneth.
I have contacted athletic directors
at many of these army campus
grounds and they all tell me their
case is hopeless unless army
changes its plan.
“Here's the way it works out at
Alabama,” a former Rose Bowl star
said.
“We have now about 2,500 stu-
dents enrolled at the university. But
they are all, or practically all, in the
army. They are under army con-
trol, army training, and no longer
belong to the university. Many of
these want to play football. They be-
lieve they can keep up with their
work and still find some spare time
for a few games with near-by ri-
vals such as Georgia and Georgia
Tech. If Alabama was under navy
control it would have a pretty fair
team with Frank Thomas on hand.
"But under army control, unless
army give* it* permission for foot-
ball to go on, there will be no Ala-
bama team this fall. Most of the
army men I have talked to—I’d say
over 95 per cent—want competitive
football to go along a* it ha* at West
Point and Annapolis—where they
also work 16 hour* a day—harder
than any army recruit* will work at
any college.
“I happen to know how keenly the
cadets and midshipmen from the
Hudson and the Severn want foot-
ball.
“I'm not speaking for morale on
the so-called home front. I’m speak-
ing for those in active service—and
those headed in that same direction.”
‘Ride ’Em Out’ Atkinson
One of baseball's most important
slogans has always been "run ’em
out.”
Teddy Atkinson's racing slogan is
"ride ’em out.” Atkinson is one of
the best jockeys riding around New
York and the best hustler on the
track today.
Too many jockeys stop riding
when they see first-plaee beyond
their reach. They overlook the fact
that many large chunks of cold and
hot cash are sent along for second
and third spots.
Atkinson keeps on riding. If he
can’t make it in front he goes after
second money. If be can’t get that
he keeps shooting for the show.
This, naturally, is the way it should
be. It is tough enough to beat 11
or 12 per cent—in fact it's impossi-
ble—without having this hostile mar-
gin increased several points by rid-
ers who ease up or pull up when
they see they can’t get there in front.
Washington, D. C.
ASSIGNMENT IN SICILY
Unsung U. S. heroes who contrib-
uted- heavily to Mussolini’s down-
fall were Italian-American boys
smuggled into Sicily several weeks
before U. S. troops landed.
How they got ashore must remain
a military secret. But the fact that
they got there is now recognized as
a part of military operations, just-
as the advance landing of Lieut.
Gen. Mark Clark in North Africa,
carrying bags of U. S. gold.
These Italian - Americans were
especially trained in the dangerous,
delicate job of winning over mili-
tary garrisons in advance of a land-
ing force. In Sicily they had the
advantage of speaking the language
and being able to visit the homes
of their relatives, few of whom loved
Mussolini. From there they were
able to work around to various mili-
tary leaders.
It has long been known that Ital-
ian military leaders were of two
types. One is the professional sol-
dier like Field Marshal Badoglio,
who was in the army before Musso-
lini’s time and has no love for the
Fascists. Also he has no love for
the Nazis, and so was not too diffi-
cult to win over to the Allied side.
Other type of Italian military lead-
ers is the Fascist Blackshirt, who
rose through favors from II Duce,
but who usually is susceptible to
coin of the realm. Presumably U. S.
advance scouts were supplied with
what General Clark took with him in
advance into North Africa.
At any rate, expert advance work
by patriotic Italian-Americans, plus
the popularity of the United States
in Sicily, contributed to one of the
most bloodless landing expeditions
in history.
Also the psychological shock of
the headlong U. S. rush through Sic-
ily was what toppled Mussolini off
his thorny throne.
...
GEN. GIRAUD’S WATERLOO
General Giraud was shown all the
sights of Washington during his stay
here, including the war depart-
ment's massive Pentagon building,
rated as the largest office building
in the world.
After the French commander had
been led through the labyrinth of
Pentagon corridors to General Staff
headquarters, and later out into the
sunlight, he was asked what he
thought of the place.
“Well,” remarked General Gi-
raud, "I’ve escaped from two Ger-
man prisons, but I coul4 never get
out of this building.”
UNDER TWO FLAGS
The chickens hatched when Amer-
ican ships were put under the Pana-
manian flag to avoid neutrality laws
are now coming home to roost.
As a result, the U. S. government
now employs 16,000 seamen whom
it pays in hard cash every month,
but over whom it has no disciplinary
control whatsoever. The seamen are
working under the Panamanian flag,
though actually they are American
citizens. So when they get into
brawls in American ports, they must
answer to the Panamanian consul,
though they are American citizens
and draw American pay.
Certain state department officials
are urging that the problem be
solved by transferring the ships back
to U. S. registry.
Noto: At present, when one of
these ships clears a U. S. port it
must pay a $20 fee to the consul of
Panams, in spite of the fact that
the ship belongs to the U.S.A.

AXIS DISTORTIONS
The Axis radio is trying to scare
up a war in South America. The
Bolivian army, with Peru’s sapport,
according to the Axis, is about to
launch an attack on Chile to gain
a port on the Pacific.
Here is the only grain of truth be-
hind this propaganda: When Bolivi-
an President Penaranda returned to
La Paz from his visit to the United
States, he stated publicly that Bo-
livian aspirations for a seaport had
rjever been abandoned, that when
the opportune time arose Bolivia
would assert that claim.
Truth is, however, that Penaranda
had no such militant motive in mind.
Furthermore, moderate elements in
Chile assert they would be perfectly
willing to discuss the sale of the
port of Arica to Bolivia.
If the Chilean moderates actually
bring about negotiation for the sale
of Arica, they will set a new high in
good neighbor relations. It has not
been long since the territorial am-
bitions of South American countries
—as in the case of Peru vs. Ecua-
dor and Bolivia vs. Paraguay—have
been settled by a resort to arms.
Hagen Wanted to Win
During Walter Hagen’s long prime
as a winning golfer, the able pro
would tell you he had no interest in
second or third place—even in a
U. S. or British Open.
“Who remembers who finished
second or third?” he used to say.
This meant that Hagen would
take any kind of gamble to win or
lead wher<' others would take no
such risk. Hagen often knew that if
any of his gambles failed, he would
drop from second to fourth or fifth
in the money. Perhaps lower.
CAPITAL CHAFF
<L When Augusto Rosso, former
Italian ambassador in Washington,
was transferred from Russia to be
Italian ambassador to Turkey, the
Nazis stopped his appointment. They
said he was too pro-American. Rosso
has an American wife, the former
Mrs. Francis Bunker of Denver.
C While the Italian nation was
strictly rationed. Count and Countess
Ciano added to their popularity in
Rome by throwing elaborate par-
ties. Caviar, lobster and champagne
featured the menu.
BASEBALL A LA WAR
COMMUNIQUE
NEW YORK.—It was admitted
here today that a battle between the
New York Giants and the Chicago
Cubs is on. Official comment was
limited, however, to a brief state-
ment by the Giants that the fight is
progressing favorably. Reports from
Stockholm say that the Cubs have
the upper hand. From Swiss sources
comes a bulletin that the Giants
scored heavily in the opening mo-
menta of the encounter.
By Reuters: The Giants claim an
initial success. “We struck out two
men in the first inning, and possibly
three," said the statement.
The above was supplemented by
the following bulletin from Giant
headquarters in the third inning:
"Our aide scored heavily in the
second inning. It is believed we
tallied five runs. Three runners
were seen to cross the plate. One
other runner was proceeding toward
the plate when last reported. A fifth
man was observed rounding third.”
J-ater.—The Chicago Cubs deny a
debacle. “At the moment of this
bulletin,” says an announcement
from Cub headquarters, “one of our
men has connected for two bases
and probably three. He hit the sec-
ond ball pitched, if not the first.”
BERNE, SWITZERLAND. - The
New York Giants, according to in-
formation here, had no pitchers
knocked out of the box, as claimed
by the Cubs. “All our twirlers car-
ried out their objectives and re-
turned safely,” said a statement in-
tercepted here.
NEW YORK. - No official an-
nouncement is available from either
aide, but on the basis of such in-
formation as can be pieced together
the following summary is believed
to be fairly accurate:
Giants: Six runs known to have
been tallied; three runs probably tal-
lied; four runs possibly tallied.
Cubs: Five runs known to have
been tallied; five runs probably tal-
lied ; two runs thought to have been
tallied.
Strikeouts: By Giants, eight posi-
tive, four probable. Cubs, four posi-
tive, eight probable.

; VACATION DISCUSSION—1943
“Well, let’s decide on our vaca-
tion, Wingate!”
“Let's! There's an outside chance
something might come of it, Jennie,
my dear.”
“When shall we take our
month's outing this year?”
“Our what?”
“Our three weeks.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Oh, well, make it two weeks,
then!”
"That’s more like it. Let’s
take them in November.”
“Where can we go in July or
August for that matter!”
“You make it so involved, Win-
gate. Don’t you want a vacation?”
“Certainly. But every time I be-
gin planning one I imagine Eastman
is watching me.”
“Mr. Eastman says the govern-
ment wants people to take vaca-
tions.”
"Yeah. All he asks is that they
don't use autos, buses or Pullman
cars, that they don’t travel very far
and that they avoid starting off oi
returning on week-ends. You get a
nervous collapse just trying to figure
out how to do it."
"Our grandfathers and grand-
mother* took vacation* without auto-
mobiles.”
“Not in the place* where
we’ve been used to taking ours,
dear.”
"Traveling by railroad coach
isn't a hardship, is it?”
“Not if you dbn’t bruise eas-
ily."
“Lots of people travel that
way when they need to g* away
for a rest.”
“That's what makes them
need to go away for the rest.”
“You’re just getting soft, Win-
gate. You need toughening up.”
“A vacation this year is just
the trick to do it. But assume
we get some place. What do we
use for transportation after we
get there? You hate mules and
I understand they don't keep
camels."
“We can stay put after we
arrive at the hotel."
"We never have.”
“But this is different. A per-
fectly quiet vacation would do
me good."
“It would be awful for me.
I’d have to listen to all your
squawks.”

Donald Nelson says that next year
American factories will turn out one
complete airplane every four min-
utes. And as usual the public cries
of "What’s holding you up?”
This is pretty swift time for manu-
facturing a plane. But Uncle Sam
is a speedy guy and we can hear
him ordering "One four minute war-
plane! Sunny-side up!”
Maybe the heroes of this war will
be the Minute Men in the Four Min-
ute Bombers.
