FUTURE HOSTILITIES.
We are hearing the remark,
•often repeated, that this time
we must be sure war will be
abolished forever, because the
next one will be so horrible it
will destroy humanity. It is be
ing said that the robot plane
will be so perfected within the
next decade or two that we in
America can no longer hope t|)
escape the horrors of warfare
at home—for the reason that
the war-makers next time will
be able to dispatch riderless
planes across the ocean and to
guide them 4° accurately that
any desired spot may be hit if
the planes get through. If this
happened it would of course
mean that in the next war the
people back home will suffer
as much as the boys at the
front, and that whole cities and
nations can be destroyed by
mechanism directed by a hand
and eye far across the sea.
Such a robot plane may be
possible, but if it is perfected
mankind will find a defense
against it. Those who recall the
last war will remember that
the prophets of 1926 told us
if another war were ever
fought it would destroy civiliz
ation. We were informed that
whole cities would be wiped
out by bombs and great popu
lations destroyed by germs and
chemicals.
The war is pretty bad and
we all hope there will never be
another one. But there has
been no wiping out of civiliza
tion by poisonous gases or mi
crobes. The block-busting
bombs are pretty bad. Some
cities have been virtually de
stroyed by invading armies, but
the defenders have only dug
in and fought all the harder in
the ruins and rubbles.
It is going a little too far
therefore to say that the robot
bomb will destroy civilization
in the next war. For every new
weapon science finds a defense.
Os course we want to pre
vent war in the future. Let us
hope it can be done and the
job performed effectively.
Let us do this because it is the
right and Christian thing to do
and not because we fear to suf
fer on the home front if an
other conflict comes a dozen
years hence..
THE WAY IS CLEAR.
Within the short space of
two weeks Gen. Dwight D Ei
senhower made twfo pleas, one
on Thanksgiving Day and one
the week before, to urge us to
step up production. Already,
he said, we are using supplies
labeled ior February and
March, and, because supplies
can now be sent directly to the
front, they are needed in ever
increasing quantities.
In the time following June
6, D-Day, our armies pushed
so furiously and speedily to
wards the German frontier,
they could not stop to insure
the capture of the great ports
of northern France from Le
Havre to Brest. As a result, the
farther they advanced, the less
pressure they could bring
against the Germans. By the
time they reached Antwerp
and the Seigfried line, they
lacked the ammunition and
fuel to fight on and finish the
war.
Only now that France and
Belgium are liberated do we
really have bases for invasion.
We can transport to the conti
nent all that we can produce
and more. No longer do our
goods lay over in United States
supply depots. Vital supplies
move directly from factories
here to the battlefields. The
way is now clear to the front •

TEXTBOOK SHORTAGE.
A serious shortage of text
books—which may come as
good news to some school chil
dren but is of serious concern
to their parents—is expected
unless the book publishers art?
allotted a larger quota /of pa
per.
We imagine, although the
paper shortage has not been
eased any, that the War .Pro
duction Board will take action
to supply the paper needed to
correct this situation.
When we look over the type
of reading which is still avail
able on tne news stands there
seems little reason to worry
where the paper can come
from to publish school books.
We realize that the WPB
would be put in the position of
favoring one type of business
over another if it took our rec
ommendations—so we won't
make specific suggestions at
the present time.
But in case a real emergen
cy does arise, we might men
tion the fact that the average
news stand now carries 50 or
more so-called comic maga
zines. It is too much to hope
that children might be asked
to sacrifice a few of these in
order to have the history and
arithmetic books they need to
continue their education.
NAZIS SAY HITLER
IS FEELING WELL
Berlin Radio Answers Specu
lation About Hitler’s
Disappearance.
London. Dec. s.—The Berlin radio
takisg note of continued Allied spec
ulation that Adolf Hitler is physic
ally or mentally incapacitated, re
iterated last night that he is "in the
best of health” and in full control of
military and politilal affairs in Ger
many.
The broadcast, exclusively tor for
eign consumption, came as reports
filtering out of Germany indicated
that Hitler now has little to do with |
the military conduct of the war and i
that German strategy now is being
directed by trained Junkers generals. I
These reports said Gestapo Chief- 1
tain Heinrich Himmler had been hold- j
ing a series of important conferences |
at his secret headquarters in South-1
ern Germany with topranking mili-!
tarp and Nazi party leaders and sug- j
gested that some sort of agreement
had been reached between the diver-1
gent groups at Hitler’s expense.
One version was that Himmler had
agreed to keep Hitler under cover and
make him keep his hands off military
affairs, leaving them to the generals.
In return, Himmler was reported to!
have received from the generals per
mission to name several Nazi party
men as high but not top-ranking of
ficers.
Himmler was said to be keeping
Hitler in seclusion by preying on his
fears of another attempt upon his
life.

Pistol Os His Buddy
Saves U. S. Marine
From Jap Sword
From U. S. Naval Hospital in San
Diego, Calif., comes the thrilling
story of how blinded bv rifie Hashes,
and semi-paralyzed by a vicious blow
of a Jap Samuri sword which cut
through his steel helmet, ihe Marine
fell to his knees. Tile two handled
sword, clutched by a fanatic Jap in a
cave on Saipan, was poised for the
death-dealing blow.
The Marine. Platoon Sergeant
Bryce Newton Owen, 2.'i. of Steel.-, is
recuperating there from the initial
blow. A budlv rescued him by killing
the Jap with a pistol shot.
Sergeant Owen, also a veteran of
the Marshall and Gilbert Islands,
campaigns, manned a machine gun
against Jap planes during the at
tack on Pearl Harbor. His unit hit
Saipan on D-Day.
Owen with his unit on Saipan had
pushe dto th e mouth of a tall mine
cave. He inched through an opening,
took a position, and began firing at
Japs hiding in tunnels off the main
shaft.
"1 was on my knees,” he said.
“Suddenly a Jap sprang at me from
the side and slashed down with his
sword. There was no pain from the
blow. I fell to the ground and could
not see to move.”
