SANTA CRUZ SENTINEt-NEWS, SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA PAGE TWO Townsend News Vasconcellos Rites Are Held Capital Comment Congressional Support For FDR's Post-War Program for War Veterans Seems Assured Washington, July 29 President are entitled" in the post-war period: By Bayawd Clapper Three Santa Cruz WAVES Assigned To Naval Stations Word has been received recently in three Santa Cruz homes of the assignment of as many former Santa Cruz young women to their positions with the WAVES at naval stations across the country. Miss Vera Costella, Yeoman 3rd class, was awarded her rate on disabled members of the armed forces. There was no likelihood of opposition to the musteringout pay, unemployment insurance, credit for old-age insurance, and the provision for disabled veterans, but there was a possibility that the proposal for government subsidized education of veterans might raise questions. The government has taken over many of the colleges in the country for the armed forces. Mr.

Roosevelt's proposal was not interpreted as meaning a continuation of that policy, but rather a plan to provide veterans wishing to continue their education with the necessary funds. bread they have had a shortage of food, and no meat for five months. Furthermore, when I saw the complete destruction of the waterfront and harbor works, with several ships blasted out of the water and lying on the docks, it was clear why the people were so glad to have the war over. A third of the population had fled away from the bombing. CENTRAL Central Townsend club will meet in Odd Fellows hall Friday evening at 8 o'clock.

Dancing will begin at 9 p.m. and everyone interested is invited. Police Cases A minimum fine of $50 for first-offense drunk driving was added Thursday morning, by Police Judge James Scoppettone, to broken ribs, teeth, and a broken nose received by Earl Starkey, 33, of 52 Marnell avenue when he drove into the rear of a parked car on Front street Sunday night. Richard Banks, also of the Marnell avenue address, received facial cuts and bruises in the crash, and the entire front end of -the Starkey car was damaged, according to police. 1.

"Mustering-out pay" to all members of the armed forces and the merchant marine enough to cover the time between discharge and the finding of a new job. 2. Unemployment insurance if no job is found "after diligent search." 3. Further education or trade training "at the cost of their government." 4. Credit the same as though they had continued in employment in private industry as regards unemployment compensation and federal old-age and survivors' insurance.

5. Improved and liberalized hospitalization, rehabilitation and medical care for disabled veterans. G. "Sufficient pensions" for Roosevelt was reasonably assured today of strong bipartisan congressional support for his six-point post-war program for war veterans. Republicans and Democrats for some time have advocated ''planning now" for the return of those in the armed services to civilian life.

Whereas congressional plans have emphasized formulation of a veterans' job program, Mr. Roosevelt emphasized help for those unable to find jobs and outlined his plan specifically. It is bound to be a big issue in the 1944 election unless congress enacts it this winter. Sandwiched into his radio address on the war last night, President Roosevelt proposed this program for war veterans which he described as "the least to which they JULY 7d STORE WIDE s. t.

7 UNOPPOSED BOMBING OF ROME WAS PORTENT TO MUSSOLINI An Allied Air Forces Command Post, North Africa. (By Wireless). The resignation of Mussolini came less than a week after the Allied bombing of Rome. Until further information is available in Rome itself, the real inciting factor in his retirement can only be guessed at, but it seems probable that it can be set down as one of the most specatcular achievements of. air power.

After the parade of American Flying Fortresses and other bombers, including low-altitude craft, over the capital of Italy in broad daylight with only minor losses, Mussolini must have recognized the portent in the sky. For portent is certainly what it seemed like over Rome a week ago. This mighty force bombing the Eternal City with only trivial resistance could spell nothing but the ultimate defeat of Italy. "fir -ft it The spectacular progress of the Allied forces in Sicily, especially around Palermo, where it has been largely a parade eastward for the last few days, must also have had its effect on the regime at Rome. Equally important was the ea.ger welcome extended by the residents of captured towns in Sicily, revealing their relief that the fighting was over.

1 was in Palermo less than 24 hours ago. I spent two days there, and I saw for myself the unmistakable welcome of the population as the Americans came in. I arrived only a few hours after the first American troops marched into the city. I went on from Palermo east as far as our artillery was at that time, ana everywhere our group was cheered and fruit was thrown to us. I was hit in the face with a bunch of grapes thrown as a friendly gesture, -not a a missile.

There was not an ugly incident of any kind all the time I was there, moving about the city and through the country and the villages. Obviously the people of Sicily cared about nothing except having the war over. They probably feel that the Americans want nothing from Sicily. On the contrary, they all had their palms out asking for eigarets and Funeral services for Evelyn Sil-va Vasconcellos, 18 years old, were held Thursday morning, July 29, at the Santa Cruz Mortuary on Laurel street, at 8:45 a.m. A requiem mass was said at Holy Cross church at 9:00 o'clock for the repose of her soul.

Pall bearers were Joseph Silva, Gilbert Silva, Alvin Silva, George Quadros, Phillip Cammancho, and David Mendonca. Interment was in the Holy Cross cemetery. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.

S. Vasconcellos, her sisters, Annibal, Elsie, and De-lores, and brothers; Arthur and Henry. She was a native of Santa Cruz. GOP Charges FDR Speech Bid For Soldier Vote (Continued from Pag 1, Column 1) gress, including Senator Bridges of New Hampshire and Representative Ditter of Pennsylvania and newspaper writer have already pointed out the political implications of the president's speech." The president's program provided for mustering out pay, unemployment insurance, trade education, social security benefits, improved hospitalization and rehabilitation and pensions for disabled veterans. Few in congress thought there would be any opposition to such a program, although Smith said there might be difficulty in finding money to finance it.

Buy War Bonds and Stamps is the same and a nation which grew up and grew great far away from Europe in spirit as well as in miles has been tinkered and defaced with European devices developed for the control and the support in docile poverty of masses of people in lands where there was not enough to go around and opportunity meant only a chance to live a little above the poverty level, with the state standing over to give alms and demand obedience. The corrupt heart of fascism is graft, cynicism, state espionage over the people and gang politics supported, in case of need, by gang violence in the streets. If Mr. Wallace will look to the record of his own regime he will find that these elements of fascism have been the strength of his party. His mobs in Michigan were no gentler than Mussolini's early blackshirts but he has never been heard to disown them or disavow their insurrection nor was it in the character of this pious idealist to repudiate the political support of some of the foulest scoundrels in American history when their gangs turned out the vote in Chicago, Jersey City, Boston and Al- her recent graduation from the WAVE training base at Stillwater university, Oklahoma.

She has been assigned to duties with the navy department in Washington, D. C. Miss Costella was formerly employed in the county welfare office here. She is the daughter of Mrs. C.

Costella of Mission street. Miss B'leanor Bertorelli, also a Yeoman third, is secretary to the chief of staff in Corpus Christi, Texas. Miss Bertorelli completed her training at Hunter College, New York. Miss Bertorelli was an employe of the Bank of America here before her acceptance into the WAVES. She is the daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Vincent Bertorelli. Ensign Dorothy J. Williams, who spent a week-end in Santa Cruz the first part "of July after completing her officers training at Smith College, is now stationed in the Ferry Building, San Fran- cisco. This is Miss Williams' first assignment.

Before her departure for the service last April Miss Wil- liams taught in the local school system. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Williams of this city. Xotos On Data Of Old Soifuol Walter Noble, a native of the Soquel area and a son of Augustus Noble who came to this country before the Civil War, has long been considered the unofficial historial of Soquel.

Leon Rowland of the Sentinel-News, well known Santa Cruz historian, said he has secured much information from Noble about the old days. Part of the material in this and other issues of the paper in days gone by that have been concerned with historical events have come from his records. Another man well up on old-times is E. J. West who came to Soquel in the 1880's.

West has a rare collection of photographs of "the good old days." For many years he was a mill superintendent. Rowland Is secretary of the county historical society which placed the "Charlie" Parkhurst plaque on the Pringle building in Soquel. bany to elect him vice president of the United States. Hitler and Mussolini also promised, and gave their people pensions, vacations, fixed wages, medical care and something called security against their employers. SUSPENDED SENTENCE Flora Freed of San Francisco, 39-year-old dietician, was arrested for violation of a county ordinance, being drunk on a highway.

Fair Enough On top of everything else, since the Allies' first successful landings in Sicily we have brought ashore an enormous army, fully motorized and armored, both British and American, revealing a tremendous strength plus the ability to land it on hostile shores. That must have had its effects on Rome.

-t: Back in the States I recall it was often said there would be no military advantage in knocking Italy out of the war because the Allies could not get over the Alps. Airmen here laugh at that. They say, "Give us air fields in Italy and we'll bomb Germany to her knees." They point to the Ruhr as an example of what can be done all over Germany once they get within range. The Allied Air Force has just made its longest raid from North Africa to Bologna, which is a round trip of 1500 miles, or 300 miles more than the Rome trip. The trouble is that the Ruhr is only one part of industrial Germany.

But once we get deeply in and that will be possible from England as the nights grow longer new areas of Germany will be devastated from the air. I don't know what our high policy will be, but I hope we stick to the unconditional surrender of Italy. I hope we accept no conditions at all, so that we can go in and use Italy the same as we have used Tunisia, as a base for pushing the war still further toward Germany. That is essential. The power of the airplane ias now been demonstrated.

It is the most destructive weapon ever devised, far exceeding the destructiveness of artillery. It is making war so senseless that we can well expect the airplane to the weapon that will bring peace and security to the world. I believe that this week we are seeing the beginning of that taking place. By IVcsthrook Pogler crs. Nor can it be said, when this marvelous production has killed fascism in Europe permitting the Communists to substitute their equivalent of fascism in large areas, that American big business provoked the war as a means of selling its products and making profits.

These men knew there would be no profit for them or anyone else in this war and they lagged until war was upon us because Mr. Wallace's government had no plans for them and because they still remembered that their kind had been called merchants of death after the last one. They realize now, moreover, that when this one is won some great change must occur in the United States because the debt will have to be written off one way or another and not handed on to new generations and 10 million fighters will have to be absorbed back into domestic life and twice that many civilians relocated, fed and employed. They wanted no such change in the United States for, defending the old order which had made the nation great enough to defeat armed and ruthless fascism, they were called Fascists, themselves, as though initiative, ingenuity and ability and freedom of the individual from Government controls constituted fascism. Meanwhile, however, they have seen Mr.

Wallace and his regime imposing more and more of fascism or communism, for they are interchangeable in all important points like two automobiles off the same line, differing only in the radiator caps and hubs. Mr. Wallace and his school rather lean to communism without frankly advocating it. The elements of fascism which they have introduced in the guise of reforms have been taken from the book of Lenin rather than from Mein Kampf.

Denunciation of fascism comes glibly from such men as Henry Wallace, who use the word as a big, rugged rock to heave at all who resist their attempts to make over the American society and economy with materials imported from Europe and with the help of diligent, even pestiferous personalities steeped in European thought and tradition. Such men are displeased with this America and the Europeans who are so influential in Washington bring only European blueprints for reform or improvement.

Fascism, to such minds, is big business, and same big business whose managers have toiled tirelessly to achieve the colossal production of all the weapons, vehicles and vesseli! of war which smashed the Axis in Africa and Italy and enabled Communist Russia to save her life when her own long and secret preparations for war fell alarmingly short of sufficiency. It was odd that such men, if they were Fascists, were so enthusiastic over the task of manufacturing on a scale that Hitler and Mussolini never thought possible, and that some of them, in fact, and the sons of many of them, went to the war in person to kill Fascists. But for big business and the devotion of its managers, United States might be invaded bv the Fascists of Germany, Italy and Japan today for the Government, of which Mr. Wallace and so many others of like mind have been a part for 10 years, had concerned itself with politics, the planned exploitation of want and the impairment of industry to the ne-glect of the nation's fighting pow- Santa Cruz Sentinel-News Established 1839 Published dally with a Morning Edition, except Monday, and an Evening Edition, except Saturday and Sunday by the Sentinel Publishing Company, at S5 Church Street, Santa Cruz, California.
