MONDAY, MARCH "20, 1944 ‘ TOP OF THE MORNING Sensibility cannot be acquired; people are born thus, or they have it not. Mme. de Genlis. -V Toughest Summer Responsible military authorities say we are approaching what will probably be the final summer of the war in Europe. If this is so, then we are also facing the war’s most diffi cult summer. It will require extra effort from those at home. Nowhere, according to present indications, will this extra effort be needed more than in boa production. So before we become too nmersed in post-war planning and political teculation, let’s take a serious look at the aspects. ’re are two chief difficulties among the ble obstacles to raising still another ’o in 1944. One iss the scarcity of •>ther, confusion regarding future ol and stabilization, be second difficulty rests with ■ President. Their task is com lortage of time, and by the over the subsidy program. *irst problem rests with and men out of service, nd boys and girls under 1,500,000 of the 3,500,000 •cers. This year the De cUlture estimates that this rce will have to be 4,000,000. .o women and youngsters the up the difference. .ion in this is that the remain of last year’s seasonal workers peak figure, and that we cannot i getting more imported labor, war ..is and furloughed soldiers to take up slack. t's a job for the ordinary civilian, and the .ed may be even greater than the Agricul re Department's estimate shows. For since ie estimate was issued, draft deferments for arm workers have been tightened, and the igriculture labor force is now at a record low—4 per cent below the figure at the same I time last year. There is every indication that our annual food crop will have fewer producers and more consumers in 1944 than ever before. The arm ed forces’ needs cannot be denied. An invasion of Europe will necessitate heavy replace ments, and the liberation of half-starved Europeans will present another outlet for our food supply. The only solution seems to be for more women and children to continue the excellent job done last year, for more businessmen within reach of farms to give an afternoon or full day whenever possible, for more vaca tioners to take a holiday of agricultural work. All this and Victory Gardens too can turn he trick. - • ' - . • -i—V—-— After A Century When the Boston Symphony Orchestra play ed an all Rimsky-Korsakov program on Sat urday night many war-worried music lovers who in normal times would not have over looked the fact learned the performance was in honor of his sentennary. He was born in '804 at Tikhvin, Novgorod — a place recent * best known for the stubborn resistance of erman forces. Rimsky-Korsakov’s instinct for composition 'as slow in developing. He was no child won der, like Mendelssohn. It was not until he had been afloat in the Russian Navy for sometime that he took up his true profession in earnest. During a cruise he composed a symphony, the first by a Russian to be per formed. Its success led him to resign from the Navy and accept a professorship in the St. Petersburg conservatory. Strangely enough he wrote more in the oper atic than any other form, but is -oday least known for his operas. Le Coq d’Or has sur vived in part, but is seldom heard in full. Violinists include the "Hymn to the Sun” from —.ore among their encores, in the same orchestras use Handel’s Largo to ’w '.lapping audiences. particularly where ac * re concerned, Rimsky 'oopularize and perpet uate Russian foIR-music. American audiences generally are most familiar with his orches tra suite “Scheherazade” and "The Flight of the Bumble Bee,” another favorite encore both of instrumental solists and orchestras. He haB been severely criticized for tamper ing with Moussorgsky’s “Boris Godounov”, which has its fine points but is' lugubrious at best and whatever he did to the score may have been an improvement on the original. Rimsky-Korsakov was not a creator of great music. He had a fine talent and may have missed being a genius by a hair, but at his best, as in the final movement of the Scheher azade suite he was truly a great composer. We have no way of knowing what he might have accomplished if he had stuck to the Navy, but have good reason to be grateful that he quit that service for music. -V Handwriting On Wall The German failure to take Stalingrad and the Allied victory in north Africa forced the Japanese to contemplate the defeat of Hitler as all but an assured fact. It was these two actions that convinced the Tokyo war lords to change the whole strategy of their Pacific campaigns. They found that their only hope of holding out was to take up defensive war fare. They saw the necessity immediately to call a halt to conquest and throw a powerful fortified ring around their newly acquired em pire, against the day when the Allies, trium phant in Europe, would be able to concen* trate their united strength in the Pacific. We have seen in recent weeks how Admiral Nimitz has penetrated Japan’s central Pacific strongholds and with the cooperation of Gen eral MacArthur has gone far toward opening the direct assault route upon Japan. The Gil berts, the Marshalls, the Carolines, the Ad miralties, upon which Japan counted to block the road to ioKyo, nave proved iar irom in vulnerable. Their main defenses have fallen, It but remains to complete the mopping-up process to have them in American possession. But the drive started long before Admiral Nimitz was ready to strike. Walter Lucas, a keen observer and close student of the Pacific war, has traced the progress of the Allied approach to Japan from the time the Tokyo warmakers changed their strategy and multiplied their protective island defenses. “This defensive line,” he writes, “was to run from the Andaman is lands in the Indian Ocean to Kiska in the Aleutians. It included the Netherlands Indies, Timor* New Guinea, New Britain, with a protective spur pushing south in the Solo mons, the Gilbert and Ellice islands. On paper this was a formidable bastion and was supported at convenient intervals by impor- ; tant bases such as Singapore, Sourabaya, Ra baul, Truk, and a score of heavily-defended alolls in the Central Pacific. It was also pro tected by an interlocking system of airfields. “To attack this line the Allies would have had to launch amphibious operations of great complexity, since there were no airfields within fighter range of the enemy positions and everywhere hundreds of miles of open ■ sea had to be crossed before the Japs could . be got at. i “All this would have been very well if the I Japanese had not allowed their defenses to be breached, almost by default, in New Guinea. The key to the whole of the Southwest Pa cific area is the great natural harbor and potential airfield at Milne Bay on the south eastern tip of Papua. “In may, 1942, the Japanese prepared a formidable amphibious force to capture Port 1 Moresby apd possibly strike at Australia’s east coast. This fleet faint-heartedly turned ] back after suffering some casualties in con- , tact with very much weaker allied naval , units. Even so, Milne Bay and the strategi- i cally placed Trobriand and Woodlark islands were still open to occupation. “When the enemy made an abortive at tempt to seize Milne Bay in September, 1942, it was already two months too late. From that point, which also marked the capture of Guadalcanal airfield, the Japanese defen- } sive line in the Rabaul area was definitely J_A_3 Ukll kVU> “Now 16 months later the whole of the en- ' emy’s position in the Southwest Pacific has ' almost completely crumbled. With the elimi nation of the Japanese forces at Buna and Guadalcanal in the early part of 1943 the en emy was compelled to change over to a de fensive strategy. Since then there have been few signs of any enemy, counteroffensive re action to our forward moves.” It was soon after these reverses to the Japanese that the American Pacific fleet had grown large enough to allow Admiral Nimitz to launch his history-making westward sweep, first upon the Marshalls and then successively and successfully upon the other island groups, operations that astounded the world and con founded the Japanese. The war in the Pacific is far from ended. But it is quite certain that Tojo and Hirohito, who foresaw the defeat of Germany when Stalingrad survived the greatest attack of the war up to that time and Rommel was driven out of Africa, now see as clearly their own defeat in what is going on in the Pacific. -V Again On Old Battlefield The lightning of war which like that of the clouds often strikes twice in the same place is now doing its worst in an area much fought over during the former World war. The Russian breach of the Odessa-Warsaw railway link between Nazi forces in the Ukraine and in Poland brings the Soviet Army into a region of prolonged and bitter fighting during the first World War. Tarnopol, threatened Nazi rail junction near- ] ly 30 air miles inside the Polish frontier, was an important center of attack and counter attack from 1914 t«^ 1917. j Held by Austria before 1914, Tarnopol w^s r overrun in the early Russian conquest of east ern Galicia. In the fall of 1915, although the Czar s armies had been forced back to a line ■ extending from the Baltic sea to Bes sarabia, the city was still behind the Rus sian lines. Situated on Galicia’s highly useful network of roads and rails, it became one of several strategic springboards from which to launch new Russian offensives in 1916. The following year, however, the seesaw operations of the Galician front took another bump. In the summer of 1917, after a general push to the west undertaken in the midst of revolutionary turmoil at home, the Russians retreated, leaving Tarnopol in the hands of Austro-German counter-attackers. “German light and heavy artillery is bom oarding Tarnopol,” wrote one war correspon lent on the scene. “There is unimaginable panic in the town.” Today, as German and Russian forces again meet in the neighborhood of Tarnopol, Soviet reports of difficult weather due to early Spring thaws following heavy snows, recall physical comparisons with the battleground of more than a quarter century ago. The country around Tarnopol is marshy and woody, cut by small rivers and pock marked by depressions that, water-filled, be iome ponds and little lakes. Recent dispatches mdicating that Nazi troops are held to the mads, while Russian cross-country operations are hampered by mire and marsh, are under standable in a sector that earned for its woods and villages such descriptive names as “In the Mud,” “Near the Ponds,” “In the Hollows,” “On the Islands,” “Behind the swamp.” In peacetime, the Tarnopol district, which pecame part of postwar Poland, is a hard working agricultural region, producing con siderable honey and beeswax. It is noted for its horses and cattle, especially favored be cause of well-watered pastures. -V In Washington BY PETER EDSON Public Whipping Boy Number 1 on the :harge against government agencies organ zed to perpetuate the present administration las since 1934 been the triple-A, or Agricul ;ural Adjustment Agency. Triple-A, now heading into the third national Section of its young life, is in a curious position. Its finances and the program for vhich it was originally created have both een cut approximately in half. But at a ocal administrative cost of $30,000,000 this 'iscal year, $51,000,000 last. Its soul and its 9000 state and county, 87,000 immunity committeemen go marching on at m average of $4.50 per day plus 3 cents a mile transportation in some western areas or every day they work for the government. 3ay varies from $3 to $6 a day. Whatever the rate, most of the committee nen feel they lose money at it, and they say hey’re not political. They are apt to be Democrats in the South, Republicans in the forth. "For 10 years this organization of farmer :ommitteemc.n has been the mainspring of igriculture’s action program,” says Norris 5. Dodd, present triple-A chief. "Elected by armers themselves, the country and com nunity committeemen’s standing job has been o help their neighbors work together on prob ems that could not be handled by individual armers.” When there were unmarketable surpluses, he job was to reduce acreage by allotment, fow, when there isn’t enough of anything, he job is to increase production. But it is of :ourse impossible to build up a government jrganization of this kind without someone iccusing it of playing politics with public noney. Back in the depression, triple-A at its peak lad an appropriation *of 700 million dollars, rhis fiscal year it is only 200 million. For lext year, the Bureau of the Budget has ap jroved an appropriation of 292 million, on vhich Congress has not yet acted. But that ;ives an idea of how the work has been cut iown. There are no parity payments to make be :ause all prices are above parity. Calculating icreage allotments on wheat, cotton, corn, •ice and tobacco which used to take most of he time, is no longer done. Marketing quotas ire removed for all crops except flue cured ind Burley tobacco. All that’s left of the old program is the landling of soil conservation payments, which imounted to 50 per cent of this year’s budget; moHmt n-f Cmnmnditv Credit. Cornoration ;rop loans to producers; crop purchases for XC, crop insurance, the sugar and winter :over-crop seed programs in some areas. The necessity for soil conservation is stressed iow because more acreage is under cultiva ;ion and soil is more intensively used. Even so, the critics of triple-A want to enow why it is necessary to keep this organi sation of nearly 100,000 farmers on the fed eral payroll part time when the work is lalved. The Triple-A answer is twofold—its war and post-war jobs. Committeemen have been given the war jobs of increasing acreage under ;ultivation and increasing production of the essential war crops—hemp, castor beans, soy beans, peanuts, and so on. In addition, the War Food Administration last November piled bnto triple-A a lot of the tricky-track originally essigned to the unpaid coiinty war boards— farm machinery rationing, off-highway tire and gas rationing, issuance of farm slaughter hermits, distribution of oil-seed meal, grant ng of farm construction permits, certification pf canners who contract to pay support prices; ehecking dairy feed subsidies paid direct to ’armers. It can be argued that all these things can be done by the county agents in their spare ;ime, but still the triple-A people say it will be necessary to keep this organization to pther for post-war use, when the agricultural broducts which the United States used to im bort get back in competition, and the order >f the day will be reduce supply to the then :urrent demand. -V You’re Telling Me Natives bearing gifts of fruit instead of laps shooting off rifles met an American force which landed without resistance on Wotho atoll.

C. State College Wear it again this year in the Easter Parade. The limp veil on last spring’s hat can be made like new by removing and press ing with a medium hot iron be tween waxed paper. Just enough wax will be absorbed to restore the crispness. The straw hat it self will take on a fresh look if brushed with a fine soft brush, rubbed off with a damp clotln and pressed with a pressing cloth be tween hat and iron. The slim skirt of ycvir sujt may have a round, baggy line in the back that was not there when you bought or made the suit. Narrow skirts will take on a shape at the back from sitting that is far from desirable. To restore the original shape, place the skirt on the iron ing board wrong side out, place a damp press cloth over the baggy part, and hold a fairly hot iron over the press cloth so that the heat will send steam from the press cloth through to the skirt. (It may be necessary to repeat this several times.) Then cut and make a lining as near like the back of the skirt as possible. Lining For the lining select material with a firm weave such as flat crepe. Cut the same number of pieces as the back of the skirt, only make it about six Inches shorter and about one-fourth inch narrower than the skirt, and fin ish the lower edge -with a narrow hem or pink. Place the inside of the lining to the inside of the skirt and sew the lining to the side seams. Take it across the top at the waist line. Your skirt will nev er again get a “seat.” This is a trick that custom tailors use. Put one in your new suit before you wear it. Five Type Designs As far as design goes, there are five types of suits this season. Adapt the one that is best suited to your needs, type of figure and personality. There is the usual — tailored classic suit, the box suit, the cardigan suit, the fitted suit, and this spring brings back the bolero suit. Incidentally suits and suit dress es for summer are going over big. Make one of cotton seersuck er, gingham or shantung. M;»» of these are collarless and that’s another important fashion note. It’s the little things that count, particularly in this year’s fashion parade. An unusual neckline, a dif ferent shoulder, or a bit of drape and your costume is branded as 1944. The U-neckline is way up top in importance. It may be nar row and untrimmed or wider and frill trimmed. Back again is the deep V-neck with a fill-in of nich ing or self ruffling. The squarred off V-neckline is new. Deep neck lines are definitely on the rage, and the newest ones are distinctly feminine. Mexico is the inspira tion for many of the boat-shaped necklines. The shoulder line is padded, smooth, and moulded to your own shoulder line but without exag gerated, padding of the past. The yoke and small cap sleeves are frequently all in one. Special Ruffles The tailored dress without but tons is very smart with either ma chine stitching or saddle stitch ing. Then there is a tailored dress, the “buttondowner," dressed up with a self ruffle which follows the closing all the way. The ruf fle is something special. Little ruffles are a big fashion. Prints this season are gay and large in character with fewer col ors in each print. Border prints are good and there’s a variety of types. Many are Mexican or Ear ly American in inspiration. In solid colors, new violet shades are tops. There is a wealth of gay light 1 ues for spring and summer. Even those who are clinging to the old stand-bys — black and navy, are livening their outfits with pastel contrasts. It’s still necessary to watch the story of conservation and careful buying, and always with a thought about that wardrobe plan. -V In normal years, with the auto mobile industry at full produc-. tion, approximately 50,099,000 tires are produced annually. The Literary Guidepost BY JOHN SELBY “BEDFORD VILLAGE,” by Her vey Allen (Farrar & Rinehart; $2.50). The second volume of Hervey Allen’s new project is published, and again the strange and yet completely realized figure of young Salathiel Albine dominates the book. There will be six in stallments of the Allen epic be fore it is done, and if the gather ing momentum sustains itself, as it seems likely to do, the giant result will be the finest novel of its sort produced by an American writer. For the record, Mr. Allen began with “The Forest -and the Fort” last year. Thisrlhstallment is called “Bedford Village,” and the- one to follow will be called “The City in the Dawn.” In the first book Albine was stolen from his pioneer parents by the Indians, and the parents were murdered. Albine was brought up as Little Turtle, was rescued by an oddly gifted fron tier preacher, was forced to mar ry a certain Jane, and eventually began to reclaim his white inheri tance in Pennsylvania. “Bedford Village” picks him up at the mo ment when the balance, hanging rather insecurely between red and white, begins to tip toward white. He goes through one of the iunu merable campaigns against the Indian in the neighborhood of Bed ford, profits greatly from an as sociation with a Swiss captain in British service, and is reoriented by his experience in the Pender gass family at Bedford. Garrett Pendergass and his swarming fa mily is not only one of Mr. Allen’s best concepts—it is also a way of making clear the fact that money and power and thought went into the settlement of pur frontier as well as moccasins and the “rifle gun.’’ Albine is left at the end of “Bedford Village’’ with a girl ex actly suited to him, the two of them with their faces to the east and the settlements. The reader is left with a secure picture of what actually went on in pre-Revolu tionary Pennsylvania. The Indian, the British, the immigrant and all the rest of the past can be drawn in perspective when they appear in a panoramic canvas such as this will be, and this is both useful and important. The writer usually can cover only one phase of a period because of the physical limitations of one book, and sometimes a reader comes out of these books with the idea that one man, or one group, did S[ the work of conquering the lderness. It was not so. BULLUCK PRAISED BY MEDICAL BODY The following resolutions of re spect for Dr. Ernest Southerland Bulluck. who died Monday, March 13, were adopted by the New Han over County Medical society, it was announced Sunday. “Whereas, an all-wise Provi dence, The Great Physician, has called Ernest Southerland Bulluck from his full useful life here on earth, to that fuller, larger life be yond the grave; “And, whereas, by his skill and his untiring devotion to the duties of his beloved profession, he has made for himself a valued place in the hearts of his fellow-physi cians and his large clientele; "Therefore, be it resolved that the New Hanover County Medical society, deeply conscious of the loss that this society and this com munity have sustained in the pass ing of one who gave so gener ously and so unselfishly of his talents and his time, do hereby pay unstinted tribute to the mem ory of Ernest Southerland Bulluck; “And, be it further resolved, that this expression of their affection and their esteem for a valued member of this society and their regret at his untimely passing, be summed up in these resolutions and be inscribed on the records of the society and a copy sent to the family, to the local press, and to the Journal of the Ameri can Medical association.” The resolutions were signed by a committee from the local socie ty: John B. Cranmer, M.D., Da vid B. Sloan, M.D.. and Jere D. Freeman, M.D. --V Wilmington Students In College Pageant GREENSBORO.

S. Johnson, Raleigh district director of the Office of Price Adminis tration, said today that sugar for home canning will be made avail able at the same rate as last year and in much the same way. As in effect now, Johnson said, five pounds of canning sugar may be bought with sugar stamp No. 4C and the remainder — a maxi mum of 20 pounds per person— will be granted on application to local war price and rationing boards any time after March 23. There will be no restrictions on the amount of sugar for each ouart of finished fruit as in for mer years. Johnson said. Ik Intrepreting The War BY ELTON C. FAY Associated Press War Analyst In these days of mass air at tacks, carrier task forces and tank battles, there is a disposition to lose sight of the foot soldier and the sailor who lands him on the bullet slashed beachhead. But look on the battle maps for the spot where the artillery fire, the tactical bombing, the machine gun and rifle bullets and mine explosions are thickest. There you find the Army’s infantrymen and the Navy’s amphibious forces. The Yankee fighting man, with a flair for understatement, calls that business rugged. What is “rugged?” Well— Lt. Gen. Lesley J. McNair, com manding general of the Army ground forces, says that the in fantry numbers less than one-fifth of our army but. that it takes far more than one-half of the total battle losses. Or listen to some sentences from infantrymen who fought and were wounded: “The enemy stopped us for a few minutes and I was on my back in a slit trench when it be gan raining mortar shells. One of them got me, but ten minutes lat er my outfit took the hill and held it.” “Our foxhole was on a hill which we ha,d won after an attack under hot fire. My buddy and I stayed in that hole for eight days, help ing to stand off the Nazis, who would keep coming every time we’d drive them off. It rained the last four days we were in there and we were kept busy bail ing out water and mud. We had to use our shirttails and our un derclothes to clean our rifles and you can ifnagine what my clothes were like, especially since I had worn them more than two months without changing.” The mtantry, says McNair, measures the progress along the road to victory; so long as the enemy’s infantry holds, the war is unwon; the only force that can break the enemy’s infantry is our own infantry. But the infantry and the Ma rines must be put ashore to be gin pushing along that road to victory. The men who get them there are the officers and crews of the Navy’s amphibious forces, created only two years ago when the Allies’ war began shifting to the offensive. These are the men who run the constantly growing category of naval vessels designated as land ing craft. For security reasons, the Navy is unable to disclose casualty fig ures on its amphibious forces. But it can point to the shorelines in the Solomons, at Tarawa, on New Guinea and the Marshalls, at An zio and Salerno. That amphibious force casual ties are comparable to those of the land fighters they put ashore is obvious. Landing craft, in gen eral, are not fighting vessels; they have little or no armor or arma ment. Nevertheless they must go where the mines and bullets and bombs are thickest. And you can’t dig a foxhole in the water. -V Daily Prayer FOR DELIVERANCE In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thy ear to me; deliver me speedily; be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress: therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the net that, they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me. O Lord God of truth. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy serv ant: save me for thy mercies* sake. Oh how great is thy good ness, which thou hast laid up for them that, fear thee: which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!— From Psalm 31.
