THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1943 End of War for Nazi Generals Washington, D. C. BRITISH-INDIA PROBLEM It will probably be denied, but the /nside fact is that U. S. Ambassador Bill Phillips came back from India with a blunt, in spots bitter, report against the British. He felt that the United States should do something about the fes tering Indian political situation, that the Indian army and people could not be a force in the war until the question was cleaned up. Also he was straight-from-the-shoulder in his criticism of Field Marshal Wavell whom he feels is not suited for the job and should be removed. Phillips not only gave this report to the President but he also had a conference with Winston Churchill. Ambassador Phillips’ report is most significant, because he has been pro-British, served as minister to Canada, has been a consistent believer that our policy must go hand-in-hand with the British. Phil lips is mild, not addicted to cru sading, but a thorough, conscien tious diplomat, reporting what he believes to be the facts. Among other things, Phillips re ported that mediation between dif ferent Indian factions and the Brit ish government was possible now; also desirable. He feels that if some such move is not undertaken now, he should not go back to India, nor should any other U. S. ambassador, since the presence of an American envoy would be taken as the stamp of U. S. approval for British policy. What the President said to Church ill on the Indian problem is his secret. But it is known that Roose velt has hoped for a year that the British would do something about India. However, he also feels very strongly that the United States should not interfere in Britain’s colo nial problems. Meanwhile, the British, with an army large enough to handle any problem inside India, seem content merely to sit on the lid—despite American pleas that the Burma road must be reopened and despite the fact that Indian troops will not fight the Japs wholeheartedly unless they have a small investment in the Four Freedoms for which they are sup posed to fight. • ♦ • WOMAN WATCHES ARMY COOKS Miss Mary I. Barber, Washing ton’s first dollar-a-year woman, has now begun to bring long-needed thrift to army mess kitchens. If Miss Barber has her way, the army’s 250,000 cooks will be per suaded to make soup out of the left overs and cut down the quota for the garbage pails. In fact, her save-left-overs idea has already gone so far that certain pig farmers near army camps are complaining that they don’t get enough garbage these days. Miss Barber was borrowed by the quartermaster corps from the Kel logg company at Battle Creek to teach tough mess sergeants, among other things, that a camp menu does not have to be arranged one week in advance, and stuck to religiously. If, for instance, a camp mess has several hundred chickens left over from Sunday dinner, they can be used on Monday, not thrown into the garbage pail. Unfortunately, a lot of mess ser geants had been doing that, partly because the menu for Monday was already arranged. Also it is against the law for the army to sell food, nor can it be given away. It must be thrown away. This has been done 1 in the past via garbage trucks to the highest bidding hog dealers. | Now, however. Miss Barber is helping to arrange master menus, j which though they specify soup, do not name the variety. This gives the cook an option to make soup out | of whatever his left-overs permit. This all sounds simple to the aver age housewife, but believe it or not, it has not always been done by the army. Another trick is to save all drip ping fats from bacon or sausage, and use them in a cream sauce for cauliflower, or ether vegetables. t • • • WHITE HOUSE BLACK MARKET The White House is having its troubles with the Black Market. The White House architect called up the Georgetown Electric company re cently to buy No. 12 copper wire for rewiring a part of the Executive Mansion. But there was no copper wire to be had. “Where can we get it?” the archi tect asked. "Baltimore, on the Black Market —only it will cost you 20 cents a foot instead of seven cents.” “Well, we can’t have anything to do with the Black Market,” was the White House reply, and the archi tect went shopping elsewhere.” • • • INDIAN MERRY-GO-ROUND <L Imprisoned Mahatma Gandhi has asked the viceroy for permission to communicate with the Mohammed an leader in an effort to effect In dian unity, but the viceroy has re fused. fl. Raj Gopal Chariar, important In dian leader, has asked the viceroy for permission to see Gandhi in or der to compose Indian differences. Again the viceroy has refused . . . Suspicion is that the British don’t want Indian differences adjusted or composed. Monocled Gen. John von Broitch apparently still thinks he is in charge of the situation as he crosses the threshold of an Allied headquarters after his capture in North Africa with 200,000 other Nazis. In front of Von Broitch is another captive, General Cramer. Captured generals receive all the courtesy due their rank and Von Broitch looks as though he expects it. Digging in Gardens Instead of Mines These coal miners are shown working on their victory gardens after leaving their posts in the mines. For the second time within a month virtually all mines employing UMW members were paralyzed by lack of manpower. A nation-wide dim-out to eliminate all nonessential use of electricity and a 25 per cent curtailment of all train travel were men tioned as possible coal saving devices should they be necessary.

ALL-OUT ARLENE ENCOUNTERS A DIFFICULTY All-Out Arlene says that the busi ness of releasing a man for front line duty isn’t always what it is cracked up to be. “The boy I want to release for combat was in no hurry and he gave me a little trou ble,” said Arlene today. • • • “The main purpose of the wom en’s military services is to free men for fighting,” she explained. “And in ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred it works out okay. But the dogface they detailed me to free had a swell office and he liked it. I reported and announced that I was releasing him. ‘From what?’ he asks me. ‘You talk like I was a member of the Brooklyn outfield.’ • • • “ ‘I’m releasing you from home duty for combat,’ I told him. He wants to know what combat. I tell him his guess is as good as mine. Then he demands to know who’s talking and I explain I’m a WAAC. ‘You’ve heard of the WAACs?’ I ask. “ ‘In a general way,’ he replies. ‘But I thought they was just being drilled to learn how to live in one hat and like it.’ “ ‘You’re behind in your educa tion,’ I explain. ‘Our main purpose is to relieve men like you.’ “He tells me he will be relieved if I go away and forget the whole matter. • • * “I ask him; ‘Don’t you want to be free for combat?’ and he says: ‘I wanted to when they first stuck me in this mystic maze of desks, tele phones and filing cabinets but I’ve got used to it. Try the third office down the hall on the left. Maybe there’s somebody there who can’t wait.’ • “The more I try to explain the tougher he gets. ‘Lissen, sister,’ he says to me, ‘I have made no appli cation to get released for anything. Nobody's brought up the subject so far except you. And who are you? I never saw you before, girlie. You blow in here in a natty uniform all set to take over my home work while I grab a gun and start looking for hand-to-hand combat, almost without warning.’ • • • “He is all upset about it. ‘You girls are getting yourselves in wrong with this yen to free the office help for front-line battling,’ he argues. ‘A lot of guys who always liked dames are suddenly beginning to hate them. You and your releases! Now scram, sister, and forget this combat stuff before we take to hand to hand fighting right here on the premises! Beat it! Just leave your card. If I ever want to be released I’ll let you know.’ ” “What did you do?” we asked Arlene. “It must have been em barrassing.” “Oh, he was just kidding,” she ex plained. “It was a put up job. Just when I’m starting to dress him down, he busts out laughing and ad mits all. He not only turned over his desk to me but left some sand wiches for me in the top drawer.” » » • VANISHING AMERICANISMS “Let’s drive down to the beach, honey.” • » • “Drive over and see us some time; we’re only 40 miles away.” • * * “You make up your mind where you want to go for a vacation and I’ll make all the arrangements.” • • • “We’ll go up in the sedan; George and Hilda can come up with the dog in the beach wagon.” • • • “Punishment Threatened for Luke warm Nazis.”—Headline.

But kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do not act aa Nature intended—fail to re move impurities that, if retained, may poison the system and upset the whole body machinery. Symptoms may-be nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes—a feeling of nervous anxiety and loss of pep and strength. Other signs of kidney or bladder die- order are sometimes burning, scanty or too frequent urination. There should be no doubt that prompt treatment is wiser than neglect. Use Doan’s Pills.
