I THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Truce Clears Battleground of Civilians New Orleans, La. BRITISH AWARE OF CONGRESS Although the average Britisher will be amazed if FDR is not elected to a fourth term, recent weeks have seen the British press and public far more aware of the possibility of Re publican victory. When Governor Dewey began his recent speaking tour, he rated about one paragraph per speech in most London papers, with an editorial tending to deprecate the GOP stand ard-bearer. Enthusiastic Republican Representative Karl Mundt of South Dakota remarked that when he ar rived in London, early in Septem ber, he needed a magnifying glass to find any reference to Dewey—al ways referred to by the British as “Governor Tom Dewey.” However, the challenger’s space in the London press gradually in creased during September, culminat ing in double-column headlines on the front pages the night after his Oklahoma City speech. Chatting one day witu a member of the British House of Commons, Congressman Mundt was asked about Dewey’s chances. He replied that he thought they were excellent and that Dewey might very well go Jito the White House next year. The member of parliament, off guard, answered: “What a pity.” Mundt mentioned the incident later to Churchill’s minister of in formation, Brendan Bracken, who apologized: "I thought we had them better trained than that.” • • • PARLIAMENT NOTICES CONGRESS An important result of the U. S. political uncertainty is the deter mination on the part of the British government to work with this coun try on the legislative as well as the executive level. The British are be coming more and more aware of the importance of the American con gress, admit they should never have overlooked it after they saw the trouncing Wilson got after the last armistice. While observing the British Parli ament, Mundt heard a speech by Lord Braithwaite, author of a re cent bill inviting American con gressmen to England as official guests, call for much closer rela tions between parliament and con gress. “Our international friendship,” said Lord Braithwaite, “cannot be permitted to depend on the slender reed of affection between two indi viduals separated by a mighty ocean.” • • • GOOD NEIGHBORS PROVIDE COFFEE The backstage story in regard to the near threat of coffee rationing is that the Good Neighbor policy paid dividends last month. Brazil ian friendship enabled us to avert either coffee rationing or a coffee rise in price. The American house wife will be in $18,000,000 between now and Christmas because of the Good Neighbor policy. U. S. retail coffee prices here have been frozen since December, 1941, but the cost of producing coffee in Brazil, Colombia, Salvador and Venezuela has not. Growers there have been clamoring for higher prices. The governments of these four countries have been under constant pressure from powerful coffee inter ests to get better prices in the United States. In general, the grow ers of Venezuela, Colombia and Sal vador have had partial support from their governments, but the Brazilian government has refused to press for higher prices. As a result,, growers have been tapering off in their acceptance of orders from the U. S. A. Gambling on an early end of the war, they decided to build up stocks for immediate sale to Eng land, Sweden, France and Spain. (Coffee will keep in the bean for as long as five to ten years.) This refusal of growers to accept new orders led the War Food Ad ministration to recommend ration ing to OPA Administrator Chester Bowles last summer. Bowles op posed rationing then, though agree ing with WFA Boss Marvin Jones that we should not raise the price of coffee. • • • 1,000,000 BAGS A MONTH When brilliant Brazilian minister of finance, Souza Closta, was in Washington last July, he guaran teed us a minimum of 1,000,000 bags of Brazilian coffee for each of the four months from September through December. Costa promised extra large shipments from Brazil, risking the extreme anger of Brazil ian growers in the interest of U. S. friendship. Meanwhile, the administration found itself unable to buy coffee for delivery even next year. The Brazil ian guarantee is only for the re- ■ •mainder of this year, and the Ameri can people drink more than 1,000,- ' 000 bags a month, it has been point ed out. It was at this point that Marvin Jones and Chester Bowles went to assistant Pres. Jimmy Byrnes with their problem. Byrnes advised immediate rationing. He knew that the threat of renewed rationing would cause plenty of worry among the coffee growers. When Dunkirk became the center of operations. Allies and Germans agreed to a truce in order that civilians could leave the city. Views showing them leaving are typical of other cities along the route of the advancing Yanks. Allied headquarters sny that the Dunkirk truce plan may not be followed in all other cities. Individual commanders will decide in the future. Holland in Ruins as War Rages Toward Berlin Typical of most Holland cities, Nejmegen, hit by German and Allied bombardment and shelling, shows the effect of the war upon that country. American soldiers aid in cleaning up the city as well as take care of snipers left behind by the retreating Nazis. Cooperation of organized Holland underground has made it pos sible for Allied troops to advance rapidly. Nothing remains standing in wake of Nazi retreat. Coastguardsmen Cast Ballots Coastgunrdsmen at a replacement pool in the South Pacific exer cise their right to vote along with millions of American servicemen all over the world. These men are awaiting new assignments to coast guard fighting ships in the Pacific and will win back the Philippines and carry fighting troops in Japan. Early reports indicate considerable interest on the part of oversea veterans, with considerable soldier, sailor and marine individual campaigners at work. No Place Like Our Old Home Even when it is in ruin, like this one at Scarperia, near the Gothic line in Italy, there is no place like home. Using a shell hole in the wall for a door, the ccrpie relurn and lay plans on building a new home without fear of / jii’ier oppression from the Nazi yolk as was their lot in the past.

The Look pub lishers have been raiding all other mags for their new picture project— to compete directly with Life. Gerald L. K. Smith, testifying be fore a congressional committee, said choosing between Dewey and Roosevelt is like choosing between a thug and a robber. If Smith isn’t careful, Herr Goebbels will sue him tor plagiarism. . . . Editor and Pub lisher’s survey revealed that only 20 per cent of the papers are for FDR and that 10 states haven’t a tingle Roosevelt gazette. When a Nazi war prisoner died on an American ship returning here it was decided to bury him at sea an hour after the black-out—when the garbage was dumped too. Several of the accounts in the pa pers about the “Under Cover” author being ejected from Gerald L. K. Smith’s press conference by the frightened Smith, exposed by the author, appeared to overlook the big point in the story. Instead of oelittling author John Roy Carlson for being kicked out, why didn’t they emphasize his heroism in going un escorted right into the enemy’s booby trap? Love Letter: “Dear W. W,” writes correspondent Ray Josephs, who covered South America and put it in a new click called “Argentine Diary,” “Buenos Aires has a new newspaper—an underground paper, in which its big feature is a col’m titled: ‘El Winchel de la Argentina.’ The name was suggested when they learned you uncovered many a raw deal in the U. S. A. “Practically all the dailies there have been gagged and strait- jacketed by the gov’t, so that under ground papers have sprung up ev erywhere. ‘Winchel’ gives out with the inside stuff in back of every move made by the Fascist chiefs at' the Casa Rosada (Argentina’s pink White House). He prints documents suppressed by officialdom, tells the facts deleted by censors and ex poses the oo-la-la secrets of Juan Peron, Mussolini imitator, and No. 1 man in Argentina. The big-shots are going loco trying to learn where this new ‘Winchel’ gets his stuff. Caught reading him means the concentra tion camp at Patagonia. This is your monument in Argentina.” Onr best nnreliable source from Berlin just airmailed the following flash. It seems that Adolf and Goer- ing had a tiff, again.
