The clue that man-for-man, Americans are of the Axis bayonet bearers. Individuality, the right to call your soul your own’and still be a hell-for-leather fighting man, has a lot to do with that. Discipline and regimentation are essential factors in any successful war effort. Yet the soldier, or marine, to produce peak per- formance all the way, needs a place where he can a to you lies in the fact superior to any sailor resume his nickname and discard the feeling that he is just end man in a column of fours. That's what the USO does for the service man The USO has made a fine start. It's filling in the gap that service men whe were in the last great battle remember Juneau’s quota is slightly over $2,000. By pur- chasing a $2 ticket, to the Slamboree you'll help the USO and at the same time get your money’s worth in entertainment Heroes of (Cincinnati Enquirer) For virtually four wecks before its capture by a superior German force, a modest garrison of Rus- sian soldiers and marines neld Sevastopol. When the fortreSs was finally taken, it was not surrendered. The Nazis went in cnly when there were so few Russian troops remaining alive that they could make no fur- ther effective resistance. The quality of the Rus- sian soldier in defensive warfare has never been bet- ter displayed. Nor was it a futile stand. Fully a quarter million German and Rumanian troops were kept occupied, diverted from ‘other service for a month. Russian command of the Black Sea was retained that much longer. And an undetermined but very great foll was taken of Hitler's armies. It is a safe guess that the Nazis have lost 50,000 dead and two or three times that many injured in the Western Crimea in these sanguinary four weeks. * Now that they are in Sevastopol and are elimin- ating all remaining centers of resistance, the Germans may claim another objective as fully achieved. But in itself the capture o fSevastopol is not of great mo- ment. Tt will help the Germans to gain command of One More Such V (Philadelphia Record) How many more “victories” will John L. Lewis be |able to win—by pointing a gun at the Américan people during wartime? | Rather than interrupt coal production in this | crisis, the Southern Coal Producers Association, at the request of President Roosevelt, has agreed to re- | bate to some 75,000 bituminous coal miners the sum of $200,000, levied against tbem for breach of contract |in taking part in the captive mine strike last No- vember. | The 75,000 miners have gon on ‘“vacation”—their | polite name for a walkout—in protest over the levy- |ing of these fines (of less than $3 per man). Last Friday the Record declared the Lewis could end the strike, could keep production going—if he wanted to. Lewis has proved thal we were right—by now or- dering the miners back to work, after he had forced both the Government ani the operators to give in to his demands. Yes, Lewis got away with the captive mine strike, too. Maybe he will get away with some more black- jacking of a nation at war. But eventually there will be a reckoning. Event- ually the time will come when the American people will hold John L. Lewis accountable for something that comes too close to sabotage for American lead- ers to countenance. . If the American peopie here at home do not do something about it beforehand, the boys at the fight- ing fronts, now risking their lives while miners quib- | ble—will have plenty to say when they come march- ing home. tory (Philadelphia Record) | “Had Rommel been born in Englind, he would now be Sergeant Rommel, not Field Marshal.” It is coincidence that this same thought occurred almost at the same time to two Britishers, speaking in different cities. Almost the same thing could be said had Rommel been an American. Of course, there are exceptions ones. But, by some quirk in military and naval tr dition, it has long been ditficult for an enlisted man to win promotion in the commissioned service We are glad much of this moth-eaten barrier has been swept aside, especially in the Army. Why isn't Rommel still a sergeant—as this Ger- man conqueror cf Libya would have been in Kaiser Wilhelm’s army? Simply because the German army today had to be built from scratch. The few mon- ocled social lions left in the defeated German army of 1918 were either stripped of their gold braid or beheaded when Hitler took over. Organizing his new army, Hitler drew many of his strategists, tacticians and commanding generals from the corporals and sergeants. Tough that we and our Allies were so late in catching up. But it is cicouraging that skill and talent are beginning to be recognized more and more in all the forces of the United Nations. some notable We thought for a time that the war might put a crimp in the bathing beauty contest business, but we thought wrong.

M Sherman was to arrive in Juneau from his Washington, D. C., headquart- ers. Here he was to be joined by District Forester Charles H. Flory, who was to accompany him on the trip.

The situ-| ation is well in hand.” Dr. Frolich then began reading the testimony which his chief, Wil- Mam 8. Parish, had given the House Committee. After he had finished one page, Fred Willkie almost jumped down his throat. “Aw, that's just advertising that Standard Oil is spreading all over| the countty,” he saia. “We're not interested in that. We want facts.” Then Dr. Donald B. Keyes, WPB assistant chemical director, joined m. “Mr. Willkie has given us the details of how his plant is making j1ubber. He has shown every step of his protesses, how long it takes and how much it costs. What we want from you is the same thing regarding the Standard Oil process.’ “You gentlemen are merely look- ing for something which is already )i this building,” Frolich shot bac “We have given you our process re- ports and there is no need for me reveal anything.” “Look here,” shouted Dr. Keyes. “¥You're telling me the information is here.
