AWAY WITH
THE MEDDLERS
Some time ago Winston Church
ill, England’s prime minister,
made public criticism of the ac
tion of some American senators.
Now Pravda, official Moscow
Communist organ, comes out 'With
very sharp criticism of one of our
major political parties—its plat
form, candidates, leaders, etc.
These foreign meddlers in our
domestic affairs should be told,
in emphatic language, too plain to
be misunderstood, that unless we
ask for it—which Heaven forbid
—we 'want none of ther advice
about how to manage our affairs,
nor none of their criticism after
we have acted.
And this should go with equal
effect in our conduct of our foreign
affairs.
SO SIMPLE
Reports from Colombia, where
a fellow with dictator tendencies
undertook to assume charge of
the country, indicate the proper
way to stop a war before it starts.
He was "simply arrested and put
in jail. It wasn’t necessary to ar
rest anybody- else or to shoot up
the presidential palace. The
would - be dictator was treated
just like a bum, it seems.
The good 90-day sentence on
the chain gang or what passes for
a chaingang in foreign countries
would go far toward eliminatnig
dictators, when they^ are in the
insipient stage. What they need
is a tough, tobacco chewing and
slightly cross-eyed deputy sheriff
to lead them to a good, hardshell
judge inclined to be rather liberal
with other people’s time, thence to
a striped suit, a pick and shovel.
— Charlotte Observer.
Robot Bombings
The casualties and devastation
caused in southern England by
the new German robot bombs, as
disclosed in Parliament by Prime
Minister Churchill, are of a seri
ous and tragic nature.
They are not as extensive as the
German people have been told by
their propagandists, and are cer
tainly not of a crippling or decisive
nature in a military sense.
They are far more extensive
than the American people or ev
en the British people, had been
cud wah-umc metals!

led to belive by their official sour
ces of information—which thus
operated aa agencies of misinfor
mation.
Will our leadership never learn
that concealment and belittiement
of FACTS operate against our
cause and not for it, and diminish
our capacity for successful war,
and thus prolong the war and
make it more costly and dreadful?
We have never yet been told the
whole story of Pearl Harbor.
We were not told tne story of
the shooting down of our own
transport plants in Sicily by our
| cwn ground fire until a furloughed
service man “spilled” it at~a civic
luncheon in San Francisco months
later.
We 'were not told the story of
the Patton “face slapping” inci
dent by any responsible military
authority, but by a civilian com
mentator.
All of these blunders, and many
ethers known to the people and
probably many still undisclosed
caused the Allied military and ad
ministrative authorities to lose
their own prestige and the confi
dence of the people.
Why do they go on blundering?
Why do they continue to deceive
and confuse the people with stu
pid policies of belittiement and
concealment?
Why do they not understand
that the truth always comes out,
sooner or later, and that the peo
ple can always “take” the truth—
but that they can take it better
when it does not have a back,
ground of deception and conceal
ment ?—Baltimore News Post.
Army Answers Question
on Losing Citizenship
Atlanta, Ga. — “Does a soldier
lose his citizenship. if he is dis
missed from the Army by court
martial for desertion?” is a ques
tion repeatedly asked by the
general public.
To clarify the loss of citizen
ship question,! Colonel John J.
Jones, Judge Advocate's office,
Headquarters, Fourth Service
Command has issued'the following
statement:
“The statute relating to loss of
citizenship as a result of convic
tion by court-martial of desertion
in time of war was amended
January 20, 1944, by Public Law
221, 78th Congress. Under the
present law a person convicted by

court-martial of desertion in time
of war does not lose his citizen
ship rights unless he is actually
dismissed or dishonorably dis
charged from the service as a re
sult of such conviction.
“The amendment further pro
vides that citizenship lost under
the present act or previous acts
by reason of desertion in time of
I
war or if he reenlists or is rein
ducted in time of war with per
mission of competent military or
naval authority.”
Col. Jones continued that the
only other offense 'penalized by
loss of citizenship is that of trea
son and rarely has that taken
place in the United States.

TOWN and FARM,
in WARTIME A
Prepared by OFFICE OF WAR INFORMATION '
NATIONAL FARM
SAFETY WEEK
As a part of tne national farm
safety week program, July 23 to
29, the department of agriculture
offers some simple safety rules
for women and girls doing farm
work for the first time. In handl
ing machinery: read and follow
instructions; stop machine for all
adjustments and repairs; unhitch
horses from machine before mak
ing adjustments; wear coveralls
with no loose parts to catch in
machine. Speak quietly to animals
when going close to them. Wear
gloves for rough work. When sun
is hot wear a broad brimmed hat,
dark glasses when needed, and if
skin is tender use skin lotion. To
be sure you can do heavy work
safely get a medical checkup.
Move a ladder often instead of
stretching. In lifting use knees
and keep back straight. Cleanse
slight cuts and scratches and cov
er with sterile material. Wear
whole, clean stockings and well
fitted shoes with low, level heels.
Eat three wfell planned meals each
day. -When perspiring freely use
one eighth to one fourth teaspoon,
ful of salt to each glass of drink,
ing water. When hours are long
and the pork is hard eat a mid
morning and mid afternoon snack.
KEROSENE HAS
GONE TO WAR
Kerosene use on the home front
must be reduced wherever possible
this year, the petrolum adminis
trating for war warns, because of
the tremendous and increasing
consumption 'of kerosene in vital
war fuels. Diesel engines use a
fuel a portion of which has been
diverted from the manufacture of
kerosene. Dieael fuel oil, made up
of approximately one third kero
sene fractions, powers bulldozers
diesel trucks, caterpillar tractors,
construction machinery, dock and
yard locomotives, every American
submarine and nearly 100,000 in
vasion barges. PAW calls on
users to use sparingly of kero
sene—also known as coal oil,
range oil, lamp oil, burning oil
and stove oil.
iMore civilian .work clothing for
men and boys is indicated by a;
war production board order requir
ing manufacturers of wofk cloth,
ing to produce during each quar.
ter beginning July 1 at least 90
per cent of the number of gar
ments manufactured during the
third quarter of 1942. Items to be
produced are bib overalls, dunga
rees, work shirts, one piece work
suits, pant?, overall jackets and
blanket lined coats. In line with
recent national legislation, manu
facturers’ prices for the basic con.
struction of denim (used widely in
manufacture of overalls) have
been raised one rent a yard, the
OPA has announced.
MORE CALLS

recruit 8,500 nurses for the army
and navy, at the rata of 1,000 a
month, for the army, and 500 a
