American People Are Funny.
They say that "American people
are funny," You can't drive them
anywhere, but you can do a lot of
leading.
Most Americans would rather
walk deliberately into a hell than
to be driven into a heaven.
They just will not be told when
there is a fist back of it to en-
force the telling.
The sandbag of driving power
fails when the warm word of woo-
ing will do the work.
You can't catch them with vine-
gar, but they are not allergic to
syrup. The cooing voice is like
the clover field to the honey bee.
Mo, they are not bull-headed.
They are liberty-loving people and
one way of asserting that liberty
is not to be driven at doing any-
thing.
That's why dictatorship will
play the dickens about getting
hold in this country.
Bosses in politics, labor world,
religious matters or other fields
who would drive the people under
the yoke are up against it in this
man's country.
They also don't like abuse of
others in the main. Take the po-

At the same time the imperial
troops, commanded by Gen. Sir
Claude Auchinleok, threw back
axis counterattacks by tanks and
infantry in the center of the bat-
tlefield some seventy-fivei miles
west of Alexandria.
The scale of fighting Saturday
and through thei night was great-
ly diminished from the terrific
action which raged across the war-
churned sands last week, but the
imperials, Australians, South Af-
ricans and Indians took advantage
of the comparative lull to improve
their hard-won positions.

owned by the Ishmian Steamship
company, after a perilous trip
from the Gulf of Persia during
which vessels all around him were
torpedoed, shelled or bombed.
Jones, who was radio operator
aboard the ship, said in his letter:
"This has been a long weari-
some voyage. One tries not to
worry about 'attacks' but in my
position, where first knowledge of
the happenings throughout the
rest of the world comes to our

(OPO's announcement said the
curb was necessitated by increas-
ing evidence that quotas will not
provide for the needs of all those
on present eligibility lists.
The amendment also rules out
trucks used to furnish Incidental
maintenance service—such as the
cleaning of an office building.
In addition, the amendment
gives loal ration boaids authority
to eliminate from eligibility some
users on List A* which includes
the most essential transportation
functions. Trucks carrying raw
materials, semimanufactured or
finished goods, including farm pro-
ducts and foods, may be recog-
nized as eligible only if the ser-
vices they perform are essential
to the war effort or to the public
health and safety.
At present such vehicles could
be denied tires only if the local
board had more applications than
tires to distribute.
The regulations do not apply to
common carriers. OPA anticipated
that many items now privately
hauled simply will be transferred
to public carriers, but said the
overall effect is expected to be a
substantial saving in rubber.
This is because common carriera-
generally are better able to main-
tain full loads and reduce empty
mileage to a minimum.
