Do not drape the flag over any part

all such vehicles. Never allow the
colors to touch the ground when be-

rule, in public ceremonies, no other
flag should ever appear to the right

American Flag. When a flag is flown
at half-staff to denote mourning, it
should be run up to the peak of the

Governor Stevenson has displayed political cour-
age, founded upon respect for the State Constitution
and common sense in vetoing a purely local bill de-
signed to raise the salary of commissioners of one
Texas county.
Despite the specific'prohibition against such bills,
they have been passed regularly by Legislatures and
signed by Governors. The proposals have been lobbied
through by delegations of persons to be benefitted. In
some instances, the grant of higher salaries or ex-
pense allowances has been unjustified and has en-
tailed dislocation of budgets of local government. The

In catering to popular support fbr his bill to ex-
■empt all fathers from military service, Senator
Wheeler called for the transfer of all able-bodied
Army men “from desks to fields of-action” and the
weeding out of husky youths “doing routine office
jobs for the Army.”
This course is being followed by all branches of
the service in substituting for able-bodied men on the
home front the WAACs, WAVES and SPARS, to
which Senator Wheeler sarcastically referred only a
few days ago. Even granting that too many able-
bodied young men are still doing desk jobs in the
military services, Senator Wheeler does not show there
are enough of them to fill the combat ranks now and
after heavy casualties have occurred.
Senator Wheeler, who has neved had a day of mil-
itary service, even of the swivel chair variety, and has
opposed the war program with the consistency of his
fight on preparedness, flouts the judgment of trained
military leaders in matters of mobilization. He would
curtail the size of the armed force and provide it with
inferior soldier material, despite the fact that Ameri-
ca faces enemies who utilize the best manpower mate-
rial available.
Senator Wheeler should avoid unwarranted intru-
sion into military matters with the same precision that
he demands of “bureaucrats” accused of. poaching up-
on legislative fields. But having been so deeply and
emotionally opposed to war before Pearl “Harbor, Sen-
ator Wheeler can not rid himself of the complex. The
husky youths holding down Army swivel chair jobs
are certainly no more out of place than is Senator
Wheeler in seeking to run the Army.—Fort Worth

to others—not as static storehouses.
They do not merely read what others
have thought and done—they have
thoughts and ideas of their own and
carry them into action. They live
creatively.
The mass of the people escape the
pain and toil of creative effort mere-
ly by listening to the radio, watching
the movies, reading the magazines
and books. The successful people are
the creators of these things!
The mass of the people do the rou-
tine work, following the well-worn
grooves of life. The successful men
build the factories, design the prod-
ucts and create the jobs.

we are just receivers or givers in

Representative Isaacks of El Paso expressed satis-
faction that Texas now has a Governor who possesses
the courage to veto a special bill and also has a
knowledge of the Constitution and law. In previous
years, all chief executives have not been so gifted.
It is hoped that Governor Stevenson has estab-
lished an effective precedent that will abolish the
practice of evading the Constitution’s prohibition of
local enactments. The restoration of state govern-
ment to sound constitutional basis is among the
forms badly needed.—Ex.

SAN FRANCISCO. — The
Francisco News, a
newspaper, recently printed in-
formal ballots on which readers were
invited to express their views about
gasoline rationing.
The results, just
vealed not only a large
siastic response to the invitation but
also a wide understanding and ac-
ceptance of rationing among people
of the San Francisco Bay area.
Of those who marked and
ballots—
1. Sixty-five per cent said
rubber shortage was the main reason
for rationing gasoline; 4 per cent
thought it was gasoline shortage; 7
per cent, “to make people more war-
minded”; 5 per cent, “something to
do with the fight on inflation”; 9 per
cent blamed “politics,” and 10 per
cent had various other ideas.
2. Seventy-five per cent said they
had given up all or most of their
pleasure and recreational driving.
3. Twenty-four per cent said they
could get along on half their present
rations; 26 per cent, that they
couldn’t possibly; the rest, that it
would mean inconvenience and hard-
ships in various degrees.
4. Sixty-five per cent thought that
“many people are getting a bigger
gas ration than they deserve.”
5. Twenty-seven per cent believed
they would be able to get new tires
when the present ones wear out; 48

When confronted with Government estimates that
American working and fighting forces must total 62,-
500,000 by the end of 1943, Senator Thomas com-
mented that “regimentation of the civilian popula-
tion” must be considered as a means of “doing the job
on all fronts.” The conclusion is logical, as defining a
complete mobilization for war which should have
bedn accomplished long ago.
However, the sentiment of the Senate committee,
confronted with the manpower demands, was that the
human resources of America were insufficient for the
war task. Therefore, some of the members turned to
evasive proposals such as reducing the size of the
armed forces below the point set by competent mili-
tary authority. Their attitude boils down to the de-
featist stand that America can not do the war job.
Germany and Japan, with millions fewer people
than America, have handled the manpower problem,
providing adequate armed forces and production
workers for war needs. America, with 135,000,000
people can certainly, and must, meet the same prob-
lem. The policy of “too little, too late,” can not be
condoned further with the excuse that democracy at
home is ’being preserved and “regimentation of the
civilian population” avoided. There will be no salva-
tion of democracy if the Axis wins the war.
America was forced into total war, and it now must
win that type of war on terms set by the enemy. One
is total mobilization. Evasion and vacillation toward
that specific problem will cost the lives of thousands
of young Americans in the armed services. That is too
high a price to pay for “freedom as usual” among
civilions who do not have to face enemy bullets.—Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.
There are many wise failures.
Often the failures know more than
the successful people do. Often I
have wondered about this. Now, I
think I have the answer. The fail-
ures are receivers only. Into their
. minds they have poured facts, cul-
ture, ideas. Like a sponge, they have
soaked-up knowledge. They are not
creators but just recorders. Their
minds are like phonograph records
that, never are played.
Successful people, fundamentally,
are givers. Their minds act as chan-
nels through which ideas pass along
WASHINGTON.—E. R. Stettinius
Jr. told the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Monday that lend-lease in
reverse has made it unnecessary now
to spend more than $25,000 American
cash a month in England to main-
tain our Army there. Other sources
have estimated 500,000 American
soldiers are stationed in the British
Isles.
In urging a year’s extension of the
lend-leasp law, Stettinius, who ad-
ministers its operation, told the sen-
ators that the reciprocal contribu-
tions the United States has received
from the other United Nations was “a
most inspiring chapter.” Much equip-
ment and supplies were given our
soldiers without the asking, he de-
clared. *
“In the last war,” he testified,
“some $2,500,000,000 was expended
in a year and a half by our Army in
France and Great Britain. In this
war, the total dollar purchases of our
Army in Great Britain from July 1
to Dec. 31, 1942, amounted to less
than $1,000,000, and they are declin-
ing month by month. Present cash
expenditures are running less than
$25,000 a month.
Pay Not Included
While Stettinius made no explana-
tion of this figure, military authori-
ties said it was obvious that it did not
include the pay of American troops
stationed in the British Isles, , but

He listed these as some of the im-
portant items received by the United
States under lend-lease:
Several hundred Spitfire planes.
Field guns and howitzers.
Stores of Ammunition
One million, four hundred

field runways.
Fifteen thousand bombs
from 250-pound incendiaries

inch shells, many millions of rounds
of small arms ammunition.

.Electric batteries at the rate of
500,000 a month.
Five hundred thousand hand gre-
nades.
More than 1,000 parachutes.
Large quantities of food.
Up to last Jan. 31, Stettinius said
that the value of goods and services
