CLARK GABLE ENLISTS
The current wisecracks in the capital, according
to the Washington Merry-Go-Round, concerns “cello-
phane commissions.”
Such commissions, handed out to favorites, are
so called because “anybody can see through them,
but they protect from the draft.”
There have been some cushy appointments in
Hollywood, which might be called “celluloid commis-
sions.”
But not for Clark Gable
This screen idol is enlisting i; the Army ag a
buck private. He announces that he doesn’t want to
“sell bonds or pour pink tea,” but be a “regular
soldier.” :
And to show he meant it, he had the place of
his enlistment kept secret to avert ballyhoo.
Our congratulations to Clark Gable. We hope
his success in the Army Is as great as his success
on the screen.
He's the kind of a fellow who will get a com-
mission because he deserves one and he'll do it the
hard way.-—Philadeiphia Record.
La REDS ARE TOUGH FOE
| With the war in the last month of its third year,
one 18 inclined to over-emphasize a general disap-
pointment over the fallure of 1942, thus far, to pro-
vide a definite turn in the tide, upon analysis, op-
timistic expectations were predicted solely upon
hopes that were nourished by Russian victories In
the Winter months
Because the Red army withstood Hitler's terrible
assault of 104! and launched a counter-attack in the
Winter that recaptured 100,000 square miles of ters
ritory, there arose an unexplainable confidence that
the Soviet would decisively defeat Germany in 1042
The pattern of this hope is shown by the universal
amazement that followed the escape of the Red army
from total destruction last year
Only two armies are fighting in Europe, The
Nazis are able to exert full pressure upon Russia. The
only chance available to the Soviet was the retreat.

WARNING ALL AMERICANS
Admiral] William D. Leahy, who served as Am-
bassador to France and is now the President's Chief-
of -Staff, warns America that the war picture today
Is “grim.” and predicts that this “will be the tough-
est, hardest, most merciless war we have ever
fought.”
From his post in the Pacific, Admiral Chester W
Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of the U. 8. Pacific
Fleet, declares that victory will be achieved “only
through undreamed of sacrifices and privations.”
These leaders are not trying to fool the Ameri-
can people. They want us to understand the serious
battles that lie ahead and to summon the full power
of every American, including those on the home front
as well as those in the services, to the needs of the
hour”
A TRAITOR SENTENC ED TO HANG
“This is no ordinary war . . . If the lives of many
of our boys are to be taken to help such a cause, this
Court should not hesitate to take the life of one
traitor if it, in turn, will help that same just cause.”
80 spoke Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, of Detroit, in
giving the death sentence to Max Stephan, German-
born citizen who helped a German pilot get back
to Germany after escaping from a Canadian prison
camp. Stephan maintains confidence that Hitler will
save him from execution, He boasts that his love for
Germany is stronger than for his adopted country,
The conviction of this German, upon a charge
of treason, is said to be the first of its Kind in 148
years, Stephan has until November 13th to see if his
hero, Hitler, can save him from banging,

THINK
before you call?
+*«
Telephone lines are crowded with important |
war messages.

Before you call, think whether the call
is really necessary.
Think what you're going to say so that
calling back will be unnecessary.
Think how you're going to say it so that
your conversation will be brief.
If you're on a party line, think of the
others who may be waiting to use it.
Thoughtful use of your telephone helps
to give important war calls a clear track and
full speed ahead.
