THEY WHO FIGHT--AND OTHEBS Boston's Bed Cross Blood Donor Center has reported that it was tin- able to meet its army-navy quota for the last two weeks because more than one-fourth of those who made appointments for blood donations failed to keep them. Need for blood plasma-is desperate, but the public response lags. Apparently this vital service of supplying the armed forces with the life-saving plasma is affected by the same kind of reaction to good news that afflicts other home-front activities. Peter Edson, NEA writer, lists several similar pieces of news, all of which show an unmistakable relation between good 1 hews abroad and bad slumping Jhe home front: "Admiral King and Generals Marshall and Arnold report to the president that the war effort must not sag, yet the plea fails to register. "Army tells the War Board that deliveries of munitions are behind schedule--aircraft production off 5 per cent last month, heavy truck production off from 19 to 31 per cent in May, tire production off 16 per cent for the second quarter.

"The sad fact is that Army production, which aggregated $1,885,000,000 in May must be stepped up to $2,270,000,000 a 'month by late fall--an increase of 17 per cent-but even these figures make no impression. the "pay Is a week, there is difficulty in recruiting electricians for two vital construction jobs at Fasco, and Knoxville, requiring no less an official than Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson to appeal for 90-day volunteers. "War Manpower Commission controls which went into effect July 1 to meet just such situations as those arising at Pasco and Knoxville, are accepted--but grudgingly. "Appeals to cut down on vacation travel go unheeded.

"Victory gardens are fewer in number than last year." While some of these lapses are due to the continued failure of the general public to use their imaginations sufficiently to bridge the gap between the home front and the fighting front, there is nevertheless a definite relation between good news from the war areas and bad news at home. If American forces were suffering another Bataan, or fresh Jap atrocities were being reported, there be A renewed interest in blood donor service, and war production would pick up. But consider the news in the newspapers this week: The cautious AP says of the Russian front: "Germans fell back in disorder across old Poland and Lithuania in a military collapse that was growing more disastrously by the hour." Allies captured Volterra, important transportation center, in Italy. Caen and La Haye du Puits are taken in Normandy, Americans end organized resistance by the Japs on Saipan and clear way for use of good harbors, potential airfields and submarine bases. Add to this two other items included in Peter Edson's summary: "General Arnold, back from inspection of the European theater, says German airplane, ball bearing and petroleum refining have been reduced two-thirds, solely by aerial bombing.

"Secretary of Navy Forrestal reports the Jap pre-war merchant fleet of from 12 to 14 million tons reduced from a third to a half by submarine, fleet and plane action." Altogether the news is "too good" for the American people to stand --apparently. They acquire the unwarranted and dangerous notion that the war is nearly over, thus war production figures drop and blood donations decrease. Yet our fighting men desperately need both plasma and the materials of war. NO "CONDITIONS" INVOLVED Secretary of War Stimson has talked with Pope Pius at the Vatican. The pope has heretofore expressed his for a negotiated peace, holding that allied demand for unconditional surrender encourages prolongation of the agony of war and inflames a spirit of vengeance.

The allies, however, are committed to 'unconditional surrender. Under the circumstances a paragraph from Herbert L. Matthews' Rome dispatch to the New York Times seems to spell out a peculiar riddle. Says he: It should be obvious what the general lines of Stimson's and Taylor's diplomacy must be. For one thing, no doubt unintentionally, the Germans are being encouraged to seek peace through the Vatican.

It is safe to guess that the American statesmen, among other things, have, told the pope that it is no use for the Germans to do so unless they begin by accepting unconditional surrender, That the Germans will make such peace effort and perhaps make it soon is widely believed here Is Mr. Matthews trying to say that the Nazis, by applying to the Vatican, might learn the conditions of unconditional surrender? If that is the" case, our secretary of state might better leave the Vatican. American and allied demands are for unconditional surrender--which has no conditions. There is no need that a decision to surrender unconditionally be transmitted to the allies through a neutral state. All that is necessary is word from Hitler that he gives up.

Any bargaining for "conditions" to unconditional surrender would be tantamount to a negotiated peace. Neither the Vatican nor cny other interested power has cause to worry that the American people, or the British will be unduly vengeful in their demands upon a capitulated Germany. Has our history painted the American people as a nation of cruel haters who would impose a wicked peace upon a defeated enemy? On the contrary, our record after the last World War has shown that we erred too greatly on the side of a weak-minded, soft-willed compromise with a beaten enemy whom we allowed to prepare for another and worse world war. We are not vengeful, nor are the British; but-it is to be hoped that by this time the American people have learned 'that they must render Germany as a nation impotent to plunge the world into another catastrophic struggle. No neutral power or religious leader, however well Intentioned, should be permitted to swerve us from that course, which must begin with the unconditional surrender of the enemy--meaning without conditions--with no "ifs," "ands" or "buts" attached to it.

If, as the pope contends, such a demand leads to heightened deter initiation of the Nazis to fight to the last, thus bringing neeoless deaths, we have only to point to the whole present war with its millions of dead and millions more of broken lives caused by the allied acceptance of a conditional surrender in 1918 and a failure to keep Germany disarmed. It was a soft peace faultily enforced that led to history's worst war. All Set To Pull A Number Out Of The Hat Here and There Monday afternoon's thunderstorm was a great air conditioner. At 3 o'clock a recording thermometer on the home front indicated 90.5 degrees, which was just one degree lower than Sunday's peak temperature at the same spot It didn't get any higher "during the day, for the storm was then in the making. As it broke sharply soon after 4 o'clock, the mercury began to tumble and before it reached its low mark for the period ended soon after 6, the reading was 68.5 degrees.

A drop of 22 degrees isn't any record, but it helped a considerable distance in making things more comfortable for man and beast. From 68.5, the temperature moved up a bit, but before 9 in the evening it was back to 69 degrees, suggesting a night of comfort This morning low was 68. The first short but heavy shower didn't do so much, for we measured but .15 of an inch. But the weeping heavens did much better as the storm got into its stride, and the total rainfall, measured at 7 p. was 1.18 inches.

It imay have been more or less both at The Sentinel's station and at Allen's spot in East Fitchburg. The news columns of this issue will tell you about that We might have known it would rain during the afternoon or night. During the weekend we sought to lure some rain through the expedient of dusting home-garden truck with insecticide; most always that tedious operation has been followed by showers that largely nullified all the toil. For another dodge, we loosened the mulch around long rows of tomatoes, beans, corn, and then went to cucumbers and squash. This was Monday afternoon, for close to three hours, in the boiling sun.

And proud we were, too, of the gadget we rigged up--half a dozen iron rods poked down along the space between rows, through which a streaming hose could slowly be drawn without wiggling like a snake. Believe it or not, the scheme worked nicely. Fifteen minutes to a row, slowly withdrawing the biggest hose in the garden bag of tricks and stopping every 10 inches or so, would, we figured, be equivalent to a good inch of rain. Well, We said before, the storm gave warning of its approach around 3.30, by which time we had about finished. And then, with no effort at all, but with more or less noise, Dame Nature did it ever so much better.

This business of trying to second-guess the weather man doesn't pay off so WclL Oh, yeah! While -fresh in our mind, and with some hint in a slightly lame back, that purslane, or "pusley," business bobs up again. During the weekend, as before raid, we dug.and dumped in the compost bed something like a good peck of the pretty but, to us, wholly obnoxious weed. And now a neighbor telephones in to say that to her taste as well as to the taste of many others, purslane is the delicious of all edible greens! And we probably threw away the best batch anybody hereabouts has caught all season! A Holyoke, draft board turned down the plea of a young wife who asked her husband's deferment for an "extreme emergency" --she wanted to repaper the house, and there was no one else to do the job. If the Holyoke housewife will just be patient, we know of an Austrian paperhanger who has failed in a somewhat more ambitious venture in Germany and, we understand, is thinking of returning to his old trade. "Because the enemy landed troops on Saipan," says Admiral Nobum- asa Suetsugu, "the enemy task force faces the predicament of not being able to flee.

This is just to our liking." Undoubtedly this clever tactic is a part of Tojo's grand strategy of planting his neck firmly under Uncle Sam's heel. A German report says that Marshall Karl von Rundstedt, commander of the German armies in western Europe, has been replaced "for reasons of health." It might well Tinean the bad health or the armies. Due to the critical housing situation in one area in the east, hen coops are rented as homes-which is nothing to crow about The girl with the nicest figure these days has it in War Bonds. Mushrooms will decorate fall hats. In some cases that will be putting mushrooms on what already look like toadstools.

Blue beads are a token of bad luck in the Orient. Black eyes are a similar token in America. If you think -the mosquitoes are pestering you, you can get some consolation out of what they're doing to Berlin. A man bigger than you is never a liar--he's merely mistaken. Letter Box That Circus Horror To the Editor of Th eSentinel: Sure, the head men of the circus are culpable.

But, as in the case of Kimmel and Short, so are a lot of other people, and it's too bad when the guilt seems to be centered in a few. Either there is an adequate law gpverning the treatment of circus tent fabrics, or there is not. If there is not, then you and I and every John Q. are at fault. If there is an adequate law, then the proper fire inspectors, state or city, are to blame everwherc the circus has played.

But there's no reason to believe the Allied failure is a finito army newspaper Maple Leaf. Only in maintaining a high rate of production and full employment will we be able to pay off the war debt. We must produce 50 per cent more in 1946 than we did in President Henry Wallace. If organized labor is successful, inflation will be unrestrained and labor will be the principal sufferer. With the most fateful' stages of the war yet to come, this is no time to bring about internal economic upheavals.

In Washington By JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON, July Least understood of the veterans legislation passed to date are those laws involving loans. I have checked and double- checked on these and it seems certain that some phases will have to be clarified by court rulings, undoubtedly going to the Supreme Court However, some things are pretty clear, For example, a. qualified veteran (that is, one honorably discharged) will be able to get a government-guarantee loan up to $2000 for either buying or building a home, providing that is 50 per cent of the total loan, and that the lending agency (bank, mortgage company, or even personal leader) is satisfied with the 50 per cent collateral This means that a veteran can borrow up to $4000 with a government guarantee for $2000 of it, and no interest for the first year, pro- enoing agency that his security, credit or general experience is good for at least half that amount This augurs a lot of building and. repairing, and has given the building industry and trades reason for much of their optimism about postwar projects. Virtually the same limits apply to veterans who will want to stan their own businesses.

The key will be whether they can convince lending agencies or personal creditors and the government that they have a fair chance of succeeding. What few polls have been taken of men in the service about their postwar plans indicate that private interprise and small businesses are in for a big upswing. The boys have had enough of being bossed and want to go on their own as soon as they get back into mufti. Second, most important to the youngsters back from the wars is the assurance that they will be given every opportunity and financial aid to equip themselves for the battle of economic survival. The provisions for education and vocational training should make it possible for any earnest young man either to pick up where he left off or launch into new fields.

In many instances these fields will be those to which his military training has introduced him. For those qualified the government will pay up to $500 a year tuition, fees and books; $50 a month additional for living expenses and $25 more if he has a wife or dependents. Veterans under 25 when they entered the service may return to school even though their education was not interrupted. Those over 25 must show their education was interrupted by entering the service. However, refresher courses for a year may be had by veterans of any age.

It added that an investigation is being made to determine the cause of the accident "There were no survivors," the navy said. It added that next of kin of all casualties had been notified. The S-28 was built by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp. at Quincy, and was commissioned in December, 1923.

She is the 25th submarine to be lost since the war started and the second loss in training exercises during that period. The other submarine lost in training was the R-12 sunk off the east coast of the United States. Campbell entered the navy as an ensign in May, 1937. His parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Ten days ago Mrs. Akeley returned to their Leominster home, 701 Main street, to attend to some business affairs and was preparing to return to Florida when word was received last night of the death of Capt. Akeley. He was a member of the Royal Arch chapter and Wilder lodge, AFAM, Leominster. He was active in St.

Mark's Episcopal parish, Leominster, and for many years was senior warden of the parish. He retired a few years ago and was named warden emeritus. The funeral will be held in Leominster at a time to be announced. Weather (Continued from Page One) Lightning struck the home of Harry Feldman, 200 Mill street, Winchendon, and caused damage estimated at $300. The lightning struck a chimney on the dwelling, knocking the bricks to thg street, and then followed a water pipe to the cellar where the bolt buried itself in the ground.

The damape included a burst water pipe and soot blown into several rooms of the home. Perley L. Prance, manager of the Winchendon Electric Light Power reported wires knocked down at Whiteward farm, on Elmwood road, and transformer fuses, blown out at the home of Henry C. Girouard, 40 Elmwood road, and on Linden street The Fitchburg Gas Electric Light Co. suffered considerably during the electrical storm, mostly from lightning.

Feeder lines on Beech and Federal streets, which went down, cut off service from a large part in that section. More than 30 transformer fuses were blown during the storm, 14 in this city, eight in Lunenburg, eight in Ashby, one' in Townsend, and others in scattered territory. On Ashby road there was a direct hit on a transformer and another on Beech street. In other cases the lines picked up the electricity and carried it along until it went through the transformer lines and grounded. The repair gangs, organized before the storm hit, were on the job as soon as the reports of damage came in and at 3 clock this morning all damage had been repaired and service was back to normal.

The three-hour storm produced a precipitation of 1.23 inches at The Sentinel weather station, compared with a precipitation of .74 of an inch recorded by Herbert B. Allen at the South Fitchburg station. Pan 'Cry-Baby' Girls BOULDER, 3 )--The National Association of College Women in Physical Education has decided something must be done to correct which they "call the "cry-baby attitude" of modern girls. Instead of fighting problems through, the adolescent girl often is moody and too frequently resorts to tearg, the educator said. They blamed the one-child family, 'lack of home discipline and the smnll apartment life in larger cities as causes of the situation.

Among New Books By JOHN SELBY S. WAR AIMS," by Walter Lippmann (Little, Brown; Walter Lippmann's frigid, humorless prose has efficiently disposed of the past-war problem to his own complete satisfaction. This has been done in a little book called S. War Aims," in which many ideas familiar to readers of his column have been elaborated and doubtless some others fixed in as leaven. This department is no expert on postwar plans, whether flexible, not say fluid, as is Mr.

Lippmann's, or ponderous and somewhat stuffy, as was Ely Culbertson's. At this stage no plan can be anything more than wishful thinking, and Mr. Lippmann thinks well He contemplates surprisingly little changes in the existing spheres or influence. That is, he divides the post-war world into three great systems, more or less fashioned after the war systems. There will be the Atlantic Community, the Russian Orbit, and the Chinese Community.

The center of the first is ourselves, of the second Russia, and logically, China, will be allowed by Mr. Lippmann to dominate the Orient. He believes that we must assume the responsibilities attached to our position, but at the same time, we must be careful to allow the disposition of Germany to be made by the nations who really have suffered from Germany--directly that is. In the same logic, China must determine the position of Japan, for if we" attempted to police the little brown men we shall simply be asserting white authority over the yellow world, and risk giving Japan back, her most potent weapon, to wit, Asia for the yellow race and all the twists that implies. Mr.

Lippmann feels sure that Russia will be the logical center of the middle coalition that eventually Germany must be admtited to our Atlantic Community, and that even the states beween Russia and Ceiter Europe may eventually align themselves with us. This seems to me the least likely thing of all; it is hard to see how Russia could be- expected to let Poland, Czechoslovakia, et slip away from her "orbit." S. War Aims" is reasonably detailed in its analysis of the peace structure. McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By WILLIAM E. McKENNEY American Card Authority The Michigan State Open Pair championship was won this year by two of the greatest players of the Middle West, Arthur Glatt and Albert Weiss 'of Chicago.

These two boys are not only fine players, but exceedingly popular as well, as they never criticize, no matter how a hand goes. While they did not reach the maximum on Jie bidding of today's hand, I think that the play was very fine. Glatt (South) won the opening lead with the queen of hearts and cashed the ace and king. To get anywhere on the hand, he realized that he had to find West with the ace of spades, in which case there was a possibility for an end- play. Glatt led the five of clubs and dummy's ten was won by East's queen.

East returned the jack of diamonds, Glatt won with the king and led a low spade. West played low and dummy's king won.

Primary (Continued from Page One) newspapers and in the mails Democratic voters have been systemati- calyl canvassed by Philbin committees, and the fight was a hotly contested one right up to last night when final radio appeals were made in the interests of both candidates. There is unusual local interest also in the candidacy of Mayor Woollacott for one of the two GOP nominations for county commissioner. Party leaders throughout the district the district picking present chairman, Elbert M. Crockett of Milford, and Mayor Woollacott as the party's nominees. There have been few real issues raised by any of the candidates on the state tickejts and there has been nothing in the campaigns to arouse The new and heavy attacks on the islands of Guam and Rota by American warships and bombers are a natural accompaniment of our capture of the neighboring island of Saipan--the strategic air and naval base which has been one of the enemy's main shields not only for Japan proper but for the Philippines.

The war is moving very fast in the Pacific. The fresh assaults on Guam and Rota certainly presage neutralization of these bases and it's not unlikely that we shall occupy them. I belive we may expect similar operations in the immediate future against other major Japanese bases in this inner defense arc-Truk, Yap, Palau and BOnin, all of which are now within reach of our big bombers. But after we have neutralized and perhaps occupied these islands, where do we go? It would indeed be interesting to know what ideas are being nursed by those two energetic and resourceful old campaigners, Gen. MacArthur and Adm.

Nimitz, now that we have possession of Saipan. Certainly what this pair has in mind could bring no to a harrassed Nipponese government Saipan is the crosroads of the Japanese empire and will provide Uncle Sam's super-bombers with a land sea base less than. 1500 miles from Tokyo and about the same distance from the Philippines. "general interest. The polls wil be open here until 8 this evening and most precincts should be in by 10 o'clock.

BOSTON, July 11 3 )--An apathetic political campaign drew to a close today as Massachusetts citizens voted in a state primary featured by a twin test of the strength of the ability of the CIO to affect an election, and of the attitude of ths voters toward a fourth term for President Roosevelt. Polling places opened as early as 6 a in some Essex county towns, while in Shutesbury voting was not scheduled to begin until 5.30 p. m. Most precincts were scheduled to complete balloting by 8 p. but in some, the polls will not dose till 10 p.

m. the face of the peneral apathy, most of the candidates appealed to the voters in last minute campaigning, to exercise their franchise. The voting was expected to be light, however, due to the absence of so many of votinc ago in the armed forces, and the fact that many war workers employed at a distance from their homes, would be unable to get to the polls. Top interest in the state contest was the fight between Stale Treasurer Francis X. Hurley and Mayor Maurice J.

Tobin of Boston for the Democratic nomination govern- has been given the approval of the CIO political action committee and while he has campaigned upon his record as mayor of Boston for two terms, Hurley has made an issue of Tobin's CIO support. Elsewhere the PAC has given its endorsement to candidates in seven of the state's 14 congressional districts, notably to John W. McCormack, House majority leader described in the endorsement as the "right hand man of the president in Congress." The PAC announced frankly that side comes in the five-sided campaign for lieutenant-governor--an office which Massachusetts Republicans have regarded as the stepping stone to the governorship. The leading contenders were Dist. Atty.

Robert F. Bradford, of Middlesex county, and the two Republican legislative leaders, Senate President Jarvis Hunt, and House Speaker Rudolph F. King. Mayor Daniel E. McLean of Beverly, and William H.

McMasters of Belmont, also are contestants. Republican Executive Councillor Clarence A. Barnes, of Mansfield, appeared leading the field for the Republican nomination for Attorney general, and Francis E. Kelly, a former lieutenant governor, apparently was in (he lead for the Democratic nomination- to oppose Barnes, its endorsement of candidates was based upon the attitude of the candidates toward the Roosevelt administration. One endorsement went to Thomas H.

Eliot, a former U. S. representative, who apparently is leading the opposition to tho campaign of James M. Curley, former governor of Massachusetts and mayor of Boston, who is running for reelection in the llth district. In' the 3d district, the PAC sun- ported former State Senator P.

Eugene Casey, of Milford, in opposi- This means that when we have ally. completed neutralization of the few islands in this Japanese defensive arc we shall have cleared a pathway -which will permit of direct assaults against the Dutch East ladies, the Philippines and perhaps against Japan itself. So it won't BN long before we are at close grips with the Mikado's main forces. Al this is fully recognized by the Japanese government which is being blunt in warning the public of the seriousness of the situation. Tokyo's immediate worry is the certainty that the mother country is going to be heavily bombed.

This means disaster, for Japan's overcrowded cities are flimsily built and the destruction will be great Evacuation of children from Nippon's six principal cities already is under way. As the signs read, aerial bombardment of Japan is going to be a major factor in forcing her capitulation. When it comes to the major invasions one would expect the Philippines to be dose to the top- of the list. Establishment of a strong base in these islands, which MacArthur has sworn to redeem, would provide the Allies with a mighty wedge with which to split the enemy defenses wide open. Its first effect would be to sever Japan from her all essential supplies in the East Indies.

The recapture of her ill- got gains, the invasion of the continent! and the direct assault on Japan proper would follow natur- tion to the incumbent U. S. Rep. Philip J. Philbin of Clinton.
