ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. ___—V Sunday Ride People once went to ride on Sunday after noons, piling the children in the back seat and sallying forth on any inviting road. It was a national pastime. Some never got back all in one piece, striking other cars or a pole or rolling down an embankment. It was fun in a way, although rather tiresome. Gaso line rationing ended all that. But there is a regular Sunday afternoon ride now, a dreadful one. It is the rush of the B-29s to Tokyo and return. It's getting to be habit. There are no speed limits, no traffic lights, no highway patrolmen to interfere. And it just spoils the entire day for the Japs. -V The Red Cross Red Cross time is here again, the annual campaign. It is a time when there should be no holding back on the part of people. They are contributing to the men overseas, to prisoners of war, to the help of those in the armed service everywhere. This help may mean the difference between life and death for. many. It is not a time for niggardly contributions. There are many worthy causes, many drives and campaigns for funds, but this is different. The aims are quite clear, the results easily seen. Don’t calculate too carefully, too closely, in giving to the Red Cross. Open the old pocketbook or get out your checkbook. The money is for those who need it, and need it badly. It is for those who are helpless; help them. It is for services that cover the needs of our men in many parts of the earth. It must be spread over the nations, so, be generous to the limit of your ability to give. _ _ Hidden Taxes Webster’s New International Dictionary de fines the word royalty as, among other things. "A percentage, as on output, paid to the owners of an article, especially a machine, . by one who hires the use of it.” To this may be added, on the basis of James C. Petrlllo's accomplishments and John L. Lewis’ present demand, a further definition: “A percentage, as on output, paid to the of ficers of a labor union by one who employs members of that union, as a supplement to or in place of dues paid by those members to the union.” Mr. Petrillo’s arrangement with all Ameri can manufacturers of phonograph records for royalty payments to the American Federa tion of Musicians is legal and unchallenged. Thus there seems to be no reason why Mr. Lewis, by threatening a disastrous wartime strike, cannot make ° similar arrangement \ for his United Mine Workers. Mr. Lewis is asking a royalty of 10 cents on each ton of coal mined, to be paid to the : UMW treasury for ‘‘modern medical and sur : gical service, hospitalization, insurance, re ’ habilitation and economic protection” as a "partial payment. . for ti*e establishment and maintenance of his (the miner’s) ready-to _ __»» A dime-a-ton royalty on all the coal mined in 1944 would have brought $58,000,000 into the UMW coffers. Even at peacetime produc tion rates, Mr. Lewis’ union would be as sured an annual income of $45,000,000 or more. This ought to take care of medical and hos pital service and all the rest, plus a good bit of routine operating expense, without taking much if any bite out of the miner’s weekly pay check. This royalty would not be like royalties paid a manufacturer, or mine and forest roy alties paid to tax-paying landowners, both of which are obviously legitimate. This would be a royalty payment to union officials for no discernible service or benefit. Operators now negotiating with Mr. Lewis estimate that his royalty demand, with the wage increases asked in the Lewis-proposed contract, would add from 28 to 65 cents to the price of a ton of coal. This increase would - a ' * \ have to be passed along to the consumer. Now everybody is a consumer of coal, oi of products which use coal in the manu facturing process. And somewhere along the line everybody would feel the result of that price rise in his pocketbook. This is not only inflationary. It also is in effect taxation of the public by a labor union for the benefit of a small segment of our wage-earning population. If Mr. Petrillo and Mr. Lewis can do it and. Mr. Petrillo has demonstrated that he can—there seems to be no reason why more and more unions cannot tax employers and thence consumers, creating an expensive sys tem of hidden, private taxes without being obliged to account to the public for their expenditure. -V Crossing Of Rhine The greatest Allied victory of the war—es tabishment of a firm bridgehead on the east bank of the Rhine by U. S. First Army troops —since Normany was announced yesterday afternoon. This tremendous blow began Wed nesday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. As this is written, great streams of men and material are flowing across the river with the Germans offering only mild resistance. This is the real beginning of the end. In saying that, we agree with Prime Minis ter Churchill who declared last Sunday, dur ing his inpection trip into Germany, that “one strong heave will win the war’’ and bring down tyranny in Europe. Even at this early a date, this blow has all the marks of being that “one strong heave.” Why? Because it is half of the greatest military pincers the world has ever known. The other part is the Russian drive on Berlin, resumed along the Oder a few days ago with latest reports placing the legions of Stalin but 25 miles from the city limits of the Reich capital. Eut there are other reasons, not all from a military standpoint. When the Americans crossed the Rhine It was the first time an invading army has crossed Germany’s historic western rampart since Nepoleon pushed over the river more than 100 years ago, That fact is a mighty blow to the morale of the German peoples. For generations they have fought but always on the other man's land. Today a mighty force is headed toward the heart of the Reich. Signs of this crack in the will of the German to resist appeared yesterday with underground reports that Hitler has confessed to other Nazi high officials that Germany has lost the war. Ti this frame of mind, according to the re port, he began plans for destruction of all German cities and industries. Hd has in ef fect, committed the country to national sui cide. This is sub +antiated by the destruc tion of Cologne. That brings up the thought: Will the Ger man people let this wild beast, who promised them everythirig and led them to ruin, carry through his plan? We don’t believe so. Even the Prussian military gang has hopes of sal vaging something out of this war as the nu cleus for another one. Therefore, may not the people themselves ■.in. 41__n The crossing of the Rhine could be the sig nal for a new trend of thought, one so pow erful as to overshadow the years' Nazi teach ings, to sweep over Germany. It may be days, it may be weeks but certainly this mili tary triumph has shortened the conflict by months. Soon it may be safe to forecast a date for the end of German resistance. The flood of Allied power is too great for any nation to withstand, especially one weakened by as many years of fighting. Perhaps the careful will mention the pos sibility of another “Belgian bulge,’’ a final German try before complete defeat. We be lieve it’s too late for that now. The devisions still fighting have taken a terrific battering. Hitler simply hasn’t enough first rate men ever again threaten the Allies on one front and attempt to hold the Russians off on an other. Germany is near exhaustion. How close, we do not know but we believe that the time of reckoning hdr end is virtually at hand. —-V End Of Legend In a burst of academic humor, the dean of Balliol College, Oxford, invited a distinguished visitor from Hollywood to address the student body. The visitor was Mr. Samuel Goldwyn, in England on a lend - lease mission. Mr. Goldwyn has long been famous as the implacable foe of the King’s (and Oxford’s) English. But he played his assignment at Ox ford straight. Not only did he avoid all Gold wynisms, but he took the pledge. “For years I have been known for saying ‘include me out,’ ” Mr. Goldwyn confessed, “but today I am giving it up forever.” This is heavy news. We have long suspected that Goldwynisms were the creation of press agents and Hollywood columnists. Eut these noval micsonstructions of well - worn phrases were richly amusing, even though the alleged creator was innocent. Now Mr. Goldwyn, by his renunciation, has destroyed the Goldwyn legend. Not only that, he has cut himself off from reams of free publicity, all for the sake of dignity. In Holly wood, that would be considered treason or madness. It just goes to show you what the atmosphere of Oxford can do to a man. -V The only thing that has slowed us much in this rubble—we can’t take a chance of getting ambushed.—Maj. John C.

(Editor’s note.—The Star and the News accept no responsibility for the personal views of Mr. Pegler, and often disagree with them as much as many of his read ers. His articles serve the good purpose of making people think.) By WESTBROOK PEGLER (Copyright, 1945, By King Features Syndicate,) In the light of Judge Phillip L. Sullivan’s decision that the seizure of Montgomery Ward’s property was a lawless act, let us refer to a' gratuitous statement by Frank P. Graham, ostensibly a “public” or impartial member of the War Labor board, on Dec. 17. The very designation “public” member re veals a serious fault in the spirit of govern ment these days for all government officials should be “public” officials. That <is to say they should be impartial and just. Yet we have “labor” senators and congressmen and Mr. Biddle, the Attorney General, has an nounced, in effect, that the Roosevelt govern ment is a “labor” government, that means that the Roosevelt government is partial to unions which are subordinate groups of his political party and in just that degree, is unfair to the rest of the nation. To be sure that is democracy majority rule. But it is not equal justice under law. Mr. Graham denounced Montgomery Ward, a private citizen, so to speak, and taxpayer, for “blasting at the foundations of maximum i production” and spoke of the “no strike” agreement of “patriotic labor.” An impartial member of this board, if he felt called on to make any statement at all, might have felt that fairness required him to recall that the “no strike” agreement of "pa triotic labor” had been violated by thousands of strikes, which had blasted “at the founda tions of production” in works vitally essential to the war. On the other hand, Ward’s actual connection with such production is slight, if not wholly imaginary. Mr. Graham then described the mainte man already in the union had 15 days in which to resign. Having resigned he still could keep his job. An impartial and well-informed per son here might have observed, however, that even in some vital war plants unions have been guilty of outrageous frauds in their elec tions. It is within their power to throw in the waste-basket resignations offered in good faith and then to insist on the discharge of those workers by denying that their resignations were received and accusing them of delin quency. Mr. Graham said Ward would make para mount with the global war a disruptive internal conflict between capital and labor. That makes the company’s management look unpatriotic when it is not and the charge is made by an agent of the government. The fact was, how ever, as the court later agreed, that the con flict was not between capital and labor but between law and lawlessness. The govern ment was acting in a lawless manner and Ward was insisting on its rights under law. James Byrnes, the director of war mobiliza tion, also attacked Ward in an affidavit and the army moved in by order of President Roosevelt, executed by the Secretary of War. The army seized the company’s private property, including its receipts, and made disbursements, including wages, according to the decisions of the War Labor board. It has just as much right to take the money out of your pockets. By now we have the President, the War Labor board, the Director of War Mobiliza tion and the army, itself, all arrayed against a citizen defending his rights. He may not be a popular citizen but neither was Captain i-fi cjiuaa. The army, of course, is not “public” in the sense of impartiality. The President is com mander-in-chief and all the officers are oblig ed to obey his orders and uphold him in his contentions. An officer might have some vague and theoretical legal right to publicly criticize an order given to him by authority of his commander-in-chief, but this simply is not done. If Ward, in such a notorious case, could be so abused, a mere army officer, even a general, of whom we now have hundreds, would stand no chance in a guardhouse ar gument about his rights. Examining the situation now, we find the army enforcing an illegal order to uphold a “policy” of a government which is admitted ly partial to Ward’s opponent in a case at law. The army, too, has propaganda services whose duty is to justify the army’s position which in this case violates a citizen’s rights. The army is, in practical effect, the client of its own propaganda specialists and obviously will suffer no criticism at their hands. It is theirs not to reason why but to do their stuff just as resolutely as though they were attacking Germans or Japs instead of unoffending fel low citizen at home. The army being no longer in a "public” or impartial position, neither is its propaganda service. It is all arrayed, by orders, on the side of a litigant which happens to be a political ally of the com mander-in-chief. Meanwhile, officers have been accepted and promoted, who are sincerely partial to the President as a politician, to his party and to unions. Men of such sympathies would not, as civilians, even offer to serve in the “pub lic” or impartial capacity in an issue between a big employer and a union. With most of them "labor’’ or “unionism” is a cause, and they cannot be asked to renounce their deepest convictions. The most that can be asked is that they do not let their convictions influence their conduct, as officers. But in the present situation, they are in the pleasant position of men whose convictions agree with their duty. All this is an abuse of the President’s mili tary authority and a dangerous misuse of the . army. It is an evil precedent which, in a future case, could be invoked to mistreat with 1 military force and a tremendous fire-power of propaganda any other center of resistance ] against a government "policy.” It puts the army in a false position and imposes on its i propaganda services the duty of defending ] indefensible acts. , T 7 SO THEY SAY ; We still face the danger of secret Nazi- t Fascist infiltration into the political and eco- t nomic life qf this hemisphere. — Secretary 0f f State Edward R.

Bill Gif ford, of Buford, S. C. He's a drawly talking Southerner, lean, profane and witty. He has a long neck and blond pompadour hair and a wide mouth and he is the salt of the earth. Before I arrived Gifford held the record for being the skinniest man in the B-29 base. The other boys call him “The 97-Pound Wonder.’’ But now' they can laugh at me in stead of him when we got to take an outdoor shower. Bill Gifford is an old-timer in aviation, much older than his fel low pilots here. He is 36, and has been flying about 17 years. As he says, he’s “too damned old to be in this bombing business.’’ He says he gets so cared over Japan he can hardly think, and I imagine that's true. But I noticed he volunteered to go on a certain specifically tough mission when it came up. It turned out that Giff and I had lots of mutual friends in the early airmail days, such as Dick Mer rill and Gene Browm and Johnny Kytle, so we’ve become practical ly bosom pals. The Ghandi Twins, you could call us. Bill has been around in this world of aviation. He flew the ear ly night airmail. He flew for Pan American in South America. He was in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and made seven trips across theAtlantic, ferrying bomb ers to England. It's worth a theater ticket to hear Griff tell about a mission after he gets back. He uses his hands and his feet and half the room and a great portion of his vocabulary. He gets tickled and then he gets mad. It seems that everything always goes wrong when Giff is on a mission. He had an experience to prove it while I was here. I’d gone to visit a neighboring hut for a few minutes and he couldn’t find me. i;r I would have been with him in it. Thank goodness I always seem to step out at the right mo ment. Anyway, it was just a half hour before supper, when Giffgot an jmergency order to beat it to the airstrip right quick and take a ship jp on a half hour’s test hop. He made the flight all right, but vhen he got ready to land the wheels wouldn’t conae down. That’s zery annoying, you know. Well, Giff radioed the field, and ihen began working on those vheels. Of course these big B-29s ire so complicatedly automatic hat you do everything by little ■lectrical switches and levers, and lot by hand. ■ “Some guy must have spent all 1 lay crossing up wires on that air- 1 ilane,” Giff said in his comical 1 exaggeration when he got back. “Instead of the wheels coming J lown, the bomb bay doors opened. 1 Vhen I tried to shut them, the up ier turret gun started shooting. I : lit the light switch by misake, and ( he tail skid came down. Just for ; he hell of it I tried to lower the 1 laps, and instead the bomb bay ( oors went shut. i "By that time I’d turned it over ( i the co-pilot and was back in the i omb bay trying to make some ense out of the switchbox and get 1 lings to working again. I "But I couldn’t make head nor a iil out cf it. I worked on the I amn thing for half an hour and s ras getting’ madder every minute. J “Finally I just got so disgusted t hauled off and gave the goddam p vitchbox a good smack with the n screw-driver, and started to walk out. And just like that the wheels came down and everything was all right.” Giff looks more like a Texas cow boy than a bomber pilot. He’s a conscientious objector to all forms of exercise. All the pilots sleep all night and half the day, but Giff sleeps more than any of them. He is probably the most unmili tary man in the outfit. He’s just an old-shoe Southerner, and gener ous as can be. On his wall are a map of the Pacific and a picture of his wife. He goes around most of the time in nothing but white under-drawers. The first two fingers of Giffs right hand are off, clear up to the hand. No, he didn’t lose them from flak or Jap fighters. He shot them off with a shotgun when he was hunting quail many years ago. He writes a beautiful hand by holding the pen between thumb and last two fingers. He holds a beer can the same way. Giff calls his plane “Honshu Hank.” He wants to form a new fraternity called ‘‘Fujiyama, ’44.” Its membership would be limited to those who had flown over Japan on bombing missions in 1944. He says if he never goes on another mission in his life it would suit him fine. WASHINGTON CALLING by _MARQUIS CHILDS ROME—That the physical con dition of Italians in liberated Italy has improved during the past year, there can be no doubt. This im provement has been due to the or ganization and supplies furnished by the Allies through the Allied commission. Now, while the commission is going through the motions of turn ing over responsibility to the Ital ian government, the major effort of distribution and organization is still likely to fall on the British and Americans. Recently Harold Mac Millan, chairman of the commis sion. announced restoration of vir tually fi^l power xo the Italian government, with only a limited right of veto reserved to the Allies. How this will work out remains to be seen. Those who have been wrestling with the problem of putting a work able system together in southern Italy remain skeptical. These men —American and British officers who have had to meet day-to-day necessities— feel strongly that much of the criticism directed against them has been unfair. They have done a job of major propor tions against heavy odds and have got little credit for it. culties of getting the distribution system started again. That is the same problem that exists in France :oday, military men point out, and t is being solved there as quickly is possible. The distribution of ;housands of tons of food in a war shattered country is no easy job. Chose who look at it from a long vay off tend to oversimplify the ask to a ridiculous extent. Today, according to an author tative source, greater tonnage is >eing brought into Italy each mon h to care for the civilians than is >eing brought in for the war effort, rhis includes thousands of tons of ood. It includes medical supplies o fight typhus. Members of the Allied commis ion are proud of the work done by ifficers who move into Italian vill iges only three or four hours after 1 he Germans have moved out. They ften take great physical risks in ! ippraising the needs of newly lib- s rated communities and in start ng the distribution of necessities, i Some, like Lieutenant Colonel i 'rank Toscani in Florence, have ( roved themselves extraordinarily 1 ble in dealing with the Italian i opulation. It was Toscani who 1 uggested the chartacter of Major i oppolo in “A Bell For Adano,’’ 1 y John Hersey, which is now a hit lay in New York and is soon being Jade into t\ movie. Toscani, who was a $3600-a-year clerk in the New York City Civil service before the war, has now returned to the U. S. A. for a brief leave, during which he will appear at a perform ance of the play to be put on for Prsident Roosevelt. Such men have worked endlessly, often against seemingly insuper able odds. Italians have expected far more than was reasonable to expect. This grows not so much out of explicit promises made in propaganda beamed to Italy be fore the invasion as from the im plied promise contained in Ameri ca’s boundless wealth and genero sity. This is a common phenomen on throughout Europe—the s^nec tation that, with our boundless re sources, we can put broken Europe together again. The bread ration in Italy has re cently been increased. While sta tistics are doubtful in the present disorganized state of the country, most observers agree that there has been a marked drop in infant mortality during the past year. You see extraordinary sights in “liberated Italy.” When GI’s in towns in the forward areas line up for chow, almost invariably a line of Italians forms nearby. The sol diers dump the food they do not eat into pans held out by the waiting Italians. ■Partly, ot course, this phenom enon of war begging comes out of the past. Hardships and demorali zation have merely accentuated it. In Naples, which was a poverty ridden city before the war and suf fered heavily- in the battle for its liberation, there is today virtually no typhus. A year ago, there were 25,000 cases and several thousand ieaths. Vaccine and the invaluable DDT powder, used under the direction if the American Typhus commis sion, have brought about this niraculous change. Neopolitans ' ind Italians in other cities may not ie able to get soap for baths but ' hey can come daily fpr a free dus- 1 ng with DDT, which kills lice and ' ceeps down typhus. 1 The typhus commission, under 3rigadier General Leon A. Fox, is '■ low initiating the same work in 1 Jugoslavia. The work of this com- * nission is one of the remarkable 1 mtold stories of the war. It is 1 haracteristic of the quiet, efficient r vay that the army carries forward n the wake of battle, often with r ittle recognition even within the avaged country.
