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.

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.
A Different Kind of War

Japs Dug Their Own Traps
Holes like the one above connected with tunnels were the last posts
occupied by the Japanese on Attu island. These United States sailors
are examining Japanese medical equipment left by the routed enemy.
According to a Japanese radio broadcast the invading Americans annihi
lated all Japanese forces attempting to hold the island.

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.”

Watch Your
Kidneys/
Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
waste matter from the blood stream. 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. Doan’s have been winning
new friends for more than forty year*.
