FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1944 'I United States Secret Weapon From Tinian Island, in the Mari anas, comes the revelation that the Americans are using a fearful in strument of death. The effective ness of the secret weapon, according to newspaper correspondents, "has been definitely proven. ' There have ibeen repeated intima- ii.ma tkof tki ITn.'fnJ Clot... hoc. J v..b v.if wrc v- mwu J invt a im, us that was being kept a secret. Ap parently, the weapon has been tried out at Tinian. . " ' With no hint given as to the na ture, construction or manner of use, it would be futile to attempt to guess what secret weapon has been used against the Japanese. Cer tainly, if it works, it will be seen in Western Europe. Waves Serve The Nation 'fiiawai.

Every woman who serves in the Waves, just like the women mem bers of other service units, renders a distinct service to the nation. Many of them replace men in non combatant duties, enabling the ser vices to utilize available manpower in operations directed against the enemy. ; While it is too much to ask Am erican women to enter the ranks of our combat services, it is not too much to expect them to volunteer in sufficient numbers to fill the quotas desired by the service organiza tions. .( "No Nationality" In Normandy A high-ranking officer in General Eisenhower's command recently spoke out against the tendency of military writers, both British and American, to compare gains made by, the British and American armies in the Normandy campaign. I Declaring that "there is no na tionality over there," the General pointed out that the success of an operation is not necessarily gauged by the size of the advance made. "There is no nationality to a tank," he says, and adds that the supply system is so arranged that British armor can fight with American in fantrymen, or vice versa. I The spokesman points out that General Montgomery is conducting the campaign under the direction of General Eisenhower and that the two leaders are in complete accord. The General Staff noticed the trend of "comparing advances not only in the British but in the Am- erican press" and the snokesman says that if "we keep on doing this, , wv v juoi iu anu uwiiiiwn U tho ienemy." !

Farm Inflationery Sign ElpnriAntii that micrht. contribute to nidation continue to be seen at the1 end of the second quarter of this, year as compared to the' end of the same period last year, according to data made available by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Demand .Ifiuitiits in rnuntrv hnnkn. eonxistincr largely of checking accounts, were up 28 per cent an increase partly accounted for by large deposits of Government funds. These checking accounts would be inflationary if used to bid up the price of land and scarce goods. Another inflationary sign is that average per acre value of farm real estate as of July 1 was up 15 per cent over a year ago. For 1 the quarter, cash receipts from farm marketings were up six per cent over , . , . . l" wv-u'v Vi one received by farmer. a decline of one per cent in prices PoUte Prices Up 90 Cents To compensate for a substantial reduction in yield due to drouth, OPA has increased maximum prices of po tatoes at the shipping point during August 90 cents a hundred pounds in 16 states increasing retail cost of potatoes grown in these states about one cent a pound. The in crease was granted for potatoes pro duced in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, IslamL, Connecticut, New York, Penn pylvania, New Jersey, Ohio.

Want Consumer Price List Large-scale distribution of ;-our to five million consumer price lists is needed in connection with a cam paign to "sell retailers on their stake in price control," declared the Con sumer Advisory Committee to OPA in protesting against substitution of t plan of posting community ceiling price lists in retail stores. Shop pers are too hurried or too timid to question prices in the presence of other shoppers who may be waiting, me cornrnm.ee saiu. miormea snop- ping, the advisors believe, "is pos- sible only when consumers have' studied their ceiling prices at home.'' - Asks Complete Social Security We will not have a just system of social security until no matter what their all workers, employment, are covered, I'aul V.

Mr. Lippmann observes that a dic tatorship preparing for total war is not a neutral state and says that "there is no doubt whatever that the Argentine dictatorship intends ex ternal aggression.'' He reports that there is conclusive proof that the Bolivian government was overthrown last winter by a conspiracy foment ed in Argentina.

Go Back To School, Says Arnold "We of the armed forces urge every young man and woman of pre militnrv aire who has 'been filling: a summer war job to return to school this autumn," declared General H. H. Arnold, commanding general of the tl S. Armv Air Forces. "Such war work is important, but your educa tion has top priority," he told Ameri can youth. "If you plan to enter military service, you will find a good education offers the best assurance of progress and recognition," the general added. "In all branches of service, we need trained leaders, en gineers, scientists and specialists. And in the years to follow victory we will need them even more, as our na tion charts its progress in the post war world."
