Entered as second class matter at Postoffice, Connellsvllle, Pa. WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1944 Cooperative Success With the final returns of the Fifth War Loan campaign showing the Fayette county quota o)' $7,590,000 away oversubscribed, it is fitting that a word of commendation be said for everyone who participated in that gigantic financial venture.

The purchase of 95,726 bonds for a total of 17,842,955.90 is an achievement which will have its echoes in the far reaches of the South Pacific, the hedgerows of France and the mountainous ravines of Italy. Nothing the folks at home might do for the man on the fighting front could compare in morale value to the oversub- scription to the Fifth War Loan. That is an achievement which speaks more plainly than the finest oratory. It is a performance that challenges the best in every American in uniform. It takes more than victory on the battlefield to lift the fighter from the mental and physical weariness which eventually gets- him down.

It is then that the knowledge the folks at home his family and friends are with him is of most value. News that his home town, his home county and his home state have met the greatest challenge ever faced by them through attainment of a goal so high as to be staggering when measured in terms ot peace-time days, is just the tonic he needs. Connellsville and Northern Fayette county had a glorious share in the Fayette achievement. In. Zone No.

2, the North Fayette region, there were 26,007 sales for a total of $2,085,661.60. Workers in the campaign had started the drive with a determination to reach $1,800,000. How well they did the job Is demonstrated by the fact that momentum of the push became so Irresistible there was no slowing down for days even after the close of active solicitation July 8. For years to come Fayette countians remember the Fifth War Loan drive. Its success here was th'3 fruit of complete cooperation between leaders, workers buyers.

It couldn't have happened all of them. It is a spirit that should endure after victory comes. The Next War? Kingsbury Smith, European manager lor International Neva Service, was on the battlefields of Normandy Sunday. He was in New York Tuesday. In that 48-hour span he crossed an ocean--from the interior of one continent to the metropolis of another.

For those with vision the mere fact that a newspaperman did that isn't the "feature" of the story. They see the day in the future when such rapid transportation will make the whole world a battlefield if wars are allowed to continue. Inasmuch as no one seems to have a solution for making peace a lasting affair, it is better to vision the next war now than to wait until il is upon us. And those farsighted enough to project their thinking into another quarter century of living know America will not be safe behind her water barriers next time. It was a history-making flight when the flrst plane flew the English Channel.

That is easily within the memory of many people. Yet an ocean crossing has become a simple matter. Perhaps another conflict, If it is allowed to happen, would be fought entirely by remote control. Yet the casualties would be heavy, greater than in any war to date. Civilized peoples must hold onto peace at the close of this war.

Either that or bid goodbye to life as it is known today. It is reported that the shutdown of the Duraloy Company's plant in. Scottdale is holding up production of alloy steel castings for Army, Navy and maritime contracts. The walkout is the result cf a delay by the War Labor Board in handing down a decision on a wage schedule submitted by the company and the union, a CIO afllliate. It's a safe bee- Hitler is applauding botii the dilatory Labor Board aad the impat.ent workers.

School vacation are nearly over. Just as the k.itydids signal the beginning of the end of 'summer, so does the announcement that "parents are requested to have their children vaccinated at an early date" presage the ringing of bells for the opening of the fall term. Washington Report By HELEN ESSARV Central Press Columnist. American Military Chicltams do not anticipate that the Germans will be forced to seek peace for some time! because al a lack oS raw materials or weapons, despite the fact that Allied bombings are believed to have cut Nazi production much as 20 per cent. They po.nt out that the Germans sturti the war with a huge backlog ot munitions and still have plenty of.

United states war production, steadily in hing upward, was ap- proximatelv one and one-half times that the Axis last year, while the United Nations output was figured at two and one-half times as jireat as Germany and Japan. Jap production has been estimated at about a quarter to third as L'irge Germany's output. That announcement of the forthcoming interchange of musical geniuses (cr is it genii?) of the republic of Russia and the republic o' the United States as a method of honoring the great Sergei Rachmaninoff will bring hope to the- hearts and relief to the cars of some Americans who are getting ed of the talonts of saxophonists a crconer.s.

One way or another, we always seem.to keep thinking about what Mr. Stalin is going to do next. Incidentally important--Colonel Oveta Gulp Hobby, commander of the WAC, has had a special tinkle tuned in the telephone in her office.

There is no startling twang such as a which called you and me from happy oblivion of the outside orlci. Colonel Hobby's -elephone bell does a chime--in three notes, Glamor may play a headline role in Cie forthcoming political campaign, but so far the Democrats havt n't put up a threatening contender for the Hepublican's Clare Booth Luce. Democratic national committee headquarters are beating the drums for Helen Gahagan Douglas, former Broadway stag-- and Hollywood movie actress and congressional nominee from California. But on the basis of preliminary recc-ids, she isn't a formidable match for the Connecticut congresswoman. Mrs.

Luce's performance at the G. O. P. national convention in Chicago tamps her as a political phrase-maker to be reckoned with. As the author of numerous plays, including the acid- tongued "The Women," the blond congressman is in her element on the platform.

Mrs. Douglas, wife of the former screen star, Captain Melvyn Douglas, has beauty and charm to offer, but in the "battle of words" this fall, that won't be enough. I hope the very charming and intelligent Mesdames Dewey'and Bricker permit themselves to be sa rificed too much to the determin ition of the Republican chiefs to present them to the Public a.s complete homebodies. A recent shot made at Albany showed Mrs. Dewey at the piano and Mrs.

Bricker standing behind her. The tone of the picture was Godey's Lady's Book, year 1880. Mrs. and Mrs. Bricker looked as if they mignt be singing "Seeing Mellie Home." Or was it maybe Seeing Franklin Home." Anyhow the result of the posing was as a titlcial as those old views little Calvin Coolidge in a 10- gallon lut pitching hay on his Vermont farm.

Mr. Dewey and Mrs. Bricker nre too clever to De used so ineptly. What Noted Peoph Are Saying Capital By International News Service. HARRISBURG, Aug.

Hill is in the midst of the summer doldrums and lew key officials can be found i vacation schedules have stripped offices of most employes. Although work has slackened, it will spurt shortly after Labor Day when full are maintained. Politicians, too, have succumbed to the listlessneis and appear to have disappeared from the scene but the first week in September will see them start- itij-: the ball rolling for State and National slates, the Democrats determined to retain their power and Republicans equally de- tei mined to carry the State in a Presidential election tor the first time in 12 years. Responsible leaders of both parties, while publicly confident of victory, have marked Pcnnsyl- nin off as a doubtful state. Democrats know the State's 35 electoral votes may be captured by Republicans while G.

O. P. leaders realize they have a tough trail to follow to convince the independent voters that Governor Thomas E. Dewey, the 1944 Republican standardbearcr, would be a better Chief Executive than Piesident Roosevelt. The Pennsylvania Securities Commission has warned that "unregistered Canadian dealers" were mulcting Pennsylvania investors with gold stocks ot "questionable value." The warning was issued in a bulletin describing the commission's activities for the fiscal year ended May 31.

"Unregistered a a i a dealers are continuing their solicitations of residents of this Commonwealth," the bulletin stated. "The securities offered are principally those of gold mining properties on which HI tie or no work has been done and which have a quetsionable value." Simultaneously, the commission reported that manpower shortages had reduced the number of securities salesmen in the State to 1,789 compared with the 5.21G authorized to operate in 1931. Morale in the Highway Department has been severely threatened by the blunt methods of Secretary John V. Shroyer. Officials responsible for keeping the gears meshed in the department have been by-passed by Shroycr repeatedly.

Consequently, operations have become confused. Shroyer, who secretly entertains fond hopes of becoming Governor, recently ordered steel and glass partitions ripped out in the executive offices that were constructed in 1931. His order resulted in wasted materials, typists being pushed into dark corners, a crew being colled off another job to do the work, and routine business i snarled. When confusion was at its height, Shroyer went to a picnic. Strength for Your Daily Task By Earl L.

That is incite grand TOLERANCE VERSUS INDIFFERENCE Wj are sometimes prone to congratulate ourselves on our tolerance of other faiths when in reality we are merely indifferent to them--and probably to our own.

It is not hard, for instance, for a man who is neither a Christian nor a Buddhist and unaffected by either religion to be tolerant toward both. But it is entirely a different thing lor a man who believes that salvation can be gamed only through Christ to tolerate a religion which is directing millions of people away from the truth. For such a man, conviction plays a great role in his life. He is so sure of certain things that he views with considerable hostility anyone who would brush these convictions aside as betng of little or no value. Tolerance is easy for the un- beheving.

But the believing man needs great strength of character to be tolerant. For his hate of the erroneous religion must be exceeded by his love for its communicants. His zeal to stamp out the 'evil must be tempered by his desire to conserve the human rights of. those who have been led astray by it. The truly tolerant man is not silent when confronted by what he considers the erroneous beliefs of others.

But he will strike at such beliefs only by moral suasion, never by force. His attitude will be that of Voltaire, who said in an argument with a friend, "I disagree with what you say, but I will die for the right to say it."

The Administration seems ptepa ing, with resumption ot ljie Corn res- sional session, to promote leg sla- Lion for what could be anc WPA. The CIO-Kilgore bill, ba ked by left-wing New Dealers, jro- poscs unemployment compe isa- tion Tor war workers up to 15 a week, in efTect establishing this amount as a minimum wage ince one would care lo work for less. A hue and cry is being 'ead that there may be 10,000,000 unemployed, and under the pre: sure of that inbulous the movement is bemg generatec for the utmost funds, to bo har died by the Federal Governmerv --in time for election usage, if the peace comes as soon as Mr.

Churchill lias predicted. Mr. Roosevelt's running late, Senator Truman, engineered the bill out of the Military Committee, no doubt under order. may be at least one resh factor behind Governor -ey's recent concentration of attacji upon the centralization of auth irity in the Federal Goverrment. Certainly no amount of money i ould be raised to match the $30,00 campaign influence of an industrial unemployment corr oen- sation measure, plus the sc Idier benefits up to $25 already Also, its provision opened -egal possibilities for such things as a new NRA, ordering business to refusing to gU'e matt rials, to businesses which do no' co! operate, etc.

The form of the legislati- is what will count, If it is 3 be taken out of politics, Congres: will liave to adopt some modi fie Df the federalized controls as well as modify the ratea. Democratic Senator George has a bi)l which would set up a state method payment in accordance with the existing Social Security scheme, now covering 30,000,000 people. The Federal Government would guarantee the solvency ol state funds although state directors contend they have a sufficient sum of four to five billions to meet the shock of post-war employment now "credited to them. A third course has been offered by Economic Stabilizer James F. Byrnes, somewhat like the Kilgore bill, unifying standards under Federal management and reimbursing the states.

While this was presumed to be the official Administration idea, it appears now that Truman, not Byrnes, is acting for the White House even though the bill violates several recommendations of the President's special advisor on this subject, Mr. Baruch. The reason the CIO course will probably lose in the end is that all states, Democratic and Republican, are resentful of the inroads that have been made on their sovereignty and fearful of what this would do to business. Most Republicans probably will join in behind the George measure along with the Southern states-rights Democrats. As Republican Senator Van- d'enberg has said, the Kilgore rates would not only give the industrial workers, who have been making highest war salaries, a gre-ater benefit than the soldier, but would be more than a normal wage for many ordinary non-war workers.

In the South, he thinks, no one would work for a time. As far as northern, industrial states are concerned, some now pay over $20 a week in benefits. Consequently, there will be a tendency -to delay action on the measure in the belief fcha the states can care for the situation. NOTES FROM PACIFIC By SGT. JACK ('Marine Corps Combat Correspondent).

Eye witness to the -kari deaths of two enemy soldic rs in the shadow of the temple uring the battle of Saipan was ivate First Class Anton Ring, a arine 1945 South 71st street, West Alhs, Wis.

"It caused a heavy boom nd at first I thought a grenade had landed back of me," Ring related.

He sprinted to the place vhere he had left his weapon, gnbbed it, and started back up the temple steps toward the two Japs. By that, time, however the Japs had reached a small cl directly behind the temple pavilion. There held hand grenades to their bodies and killed themselves. Pfc. Ring went forward investigate.

SAIPAN, Mari anas Islands (Delayed)--A column of Marines will be moving along the front here to the irregular rhythm of rifle and machinegun fire, until suddenly the column stops.

Someone up ahead shouts; "Hey! Corpsman!" And the call is passed back until one of our hospital corpsmen answers, "Coming," and rushes forward to administer to the victim of sniper's bullet. Accompany Marines. Or maybe our troops are dispersed, pinned down by artillery fire against which they are helpless. Comes the call, and the corpsmen begin making their precarious way 'through driving shrapnel and dust and smoke to find the injured and get tnem out. The' Navy hospital oorpsmen attached to the Marines on Sai- pan have been having the most gruelling time of all.

They have been almost as hard hit by enemy fire as the Marines. And yet they go wherever Marines go, dragging otit the wounded, working over them, trying every means at their disposal to save a life, to ease the pain. When we first landed, three corpsmen in my landing team were killed by mortar fire. Two others worked all night in the dark, trying to save three wounded Marines. But when dawn came the Marines were dead.

The corpsmen broke down and cried. One of the first officers of the Fourth Marine Division ashore on Saipan was Lieutenant Colonel L. B. "Pat" Hanley, former head football coach at Boston University.

Major Raborg Says: By MAJ. PAUL C. RABORG Written Especially for International News Service. NEW YORK, Aug. Europe has been breached on the east, the south, and the west.

With amazing speed Allied troops have smashed across the Breton Peninsula. They are lighting in Brest and knocking at the gates of St. Nazaire. In Italy, the Nazis are preparing their last mountain defenses on the peninsula. On the eastern European front, Soviet units are at East Prussia's front door.

Red divisions have cut straight across Latvia and reached the Baltic- Sea to the west of Riga, and in Poland the Vistula River has been crossed at several places. Hitler's with too much too been utterly disastrous to the Nazi cause since the battle of Stalingrad. Now the question uppermost in everyone's mind is--on what lines will the battle of the nner fortress be lought? It would seem that, since the Vistula had already been crossed in several places and East Prussia will be captured by Red troops Hitler would plan to establish his inner fortress on the east border of Germany down to Czechoslovakia, the Carpathian and Balkan mountains. That would be the east side of 'Fortress Europe. If the German general staff is wise, in western Europe they will give up the Netherlands, Belgium and an of France.

Then Fortress Europe could be defended from the western boundary of Germany down to the Alps and to the Mediterranean Sea. However, in France at the moment it is entirely possible that Germans might be planning a daring stroke. If the German commander of the west wall has any strategic reserves it is probable that he will hurl the greatest strength he possesses at our columns which have broken with such terrific speed and for great distances into Brittany. It would seem that, until Allied forward bases are re-established and the invading armor reinforced, the Germans might plan to hit with all their might in the nope of thus nullifying our most recent successes in Brittany. Of course we may rest assured that General Montgomery has foreseen such eventualities.

Already Allied reinforcements are probably pouring into Brittany. And it will perhaps be only a matter of a few days until we have complete possession of several more great French ses- jorts. In spite of possibility hat the Nazis may plan a great counter-stroke at our troops in 3rittany, your author states that he Allies will now never be hrown out of that area.

F. Donnelly of this city, is enjoying a vacation--right at home--which, he sayi, came to him as a welcome though big surprise. Arriving at the end of his run in Connclls- ville Saturday he says the "surprise" wag handed him in a notice from the company that he was to have a week's vacation. He had been working steadily for a long time because of wartime necessity of getting all trains over the road en schedule. Mack insists he is just going to stay at home for his vacation, "getting re-acquainted" with his old Cumberland friends.

A spokesman for the councilmanic body visited The Courier to show the letter and tell of the probe that had resulted. Mr. Rust is really sincere about his complaints we feel he will now come in and discuss them, with us," he said.

Attorney Cavalcante a. Versatile Chap; He Plants, Grows, Then Cans Planted, cultivated and harvested by an attorney, a war garden on the old Robinson property in the Lincoln street district.

Uniontown, is believed to be the only one of its kind in the country. The productive plot, which formerly grew only roses, is entirely a one-man project--that of Attorney Anthony Cavalcante. And that isn't all. The attorney picks and cans all of the output. Recently he gathered five busheto of big ripe tomatoes, which art put up, with other vegetables, for next winter.

Attorney Cavalcante planted 140 tomato plants, 126 pepper plants, 36 broccoli as. well as large quantities of beets, carrots, lima beans, cucumbers, lettuce, radishes and endive. More than 150 staBcs of corn wave majestically over one of the, real garden spots in Uniontown. But the distinctive feature about the Cavalcante garden is the attorney's duties do not end with weeding, fertilizing and cultivating. He is just ee adept in the kitchen when it comes to the canning period.
