The Army Takes Over Bendix Air Plant
It Is significant that the
most aggressive opposition to
Winston Churchill in England
LW
m
has developed from his refus- j i « /* . . T r
al to open a new front in Eu- L9S1 lOwraCl lO lOVef
t rope, the demand for this ihas
largely come from Labor M.
! P.’s, but they have been given
the support of a number of
Conservatives and Liberals.
. 1 The feeling is growing in
many quarters that. Hitler's
Russian campaign has, for the
first time, sufficiently divert-
ed his energies and resources
po that it may be possible to
carry the war to Germany.
The military problems involv-
ed in this are enormous, and
,|lo layman is in a position to
discuss them. There is,.how-
ever, a problem of morale in-
volved which is of the utmost
importance. Unrest in the na-
tions which Hitler has occu-
pied is obviously growing.
The horrible toll of executions
in occupied France is evi-
dince of thak—Hitler’s
henchmen aren’t- killing
French citizens for fun, but
because they endanger the
purposes and policies of the
Reich. So it is argued that if
the Allies could start an ag-
gressive military campaign
against Hitler on the conti-
nent, the subjugated peoples
r- would be immensely encour-
aged, and would Increase tpe
exteat and scope of their op-
position. There is little doubt
. but what that argument has
validity. If, for instance, Brit-
ish troops could effect a land-
ing on French soil and push
the Germans back, the demo-
cratic world would take it as
a miraculous tonic. But it is
apparent that Mr. Churchill
and his high command, even
though they realize this, be-
lieve that the time is not
right. And here again, a mor-
ale as well as a military prob-
lem is involved. The hard
truth is tha,t England has had
nothing but failure In her
land operations against Ger-
many during this war. Her
navy and air force have done’
wonders. Her infantry and her
artillery and her mechanized
divisions, on the other hand,
have been completely unable
to cope with their German
enemies. This is no criticism
of the courage or resolve of
Tommy Atkins. Kipling’s
“Thin red line of ’eroes” still
remains. But Britain simply
hasn’t the equipment, and we
haven’t been able to deliver it
to her in sufficient quantity.
The German army, whether
you like it or not. is still the
best in the world. England’s
debacles at Dunkirk and , in
Crete and Norway tell the
story. Jhere soldiers did all

Route Extends From Near
Canadian Border To
Corpus Christ!
Contract to complete the last
unpaved gap in U. S. Highway 77
,! by the Texas Highway Commission
last week, comes as welcome news
to the good roads workers of this
part of the state. This last contract
k to cover 4 miles in Lee County.,
from Lexington south to Leo Switch,
and will join 5 miles now under
construction to close the nine mile
unpaved section between Giddings j
and Cameron. U. S. Highway 77 is
the only route designated as a pri-
mary- north and south highway be-
tween San Antonio and Houston,
and is a part of a national route
originating near the Canadian i
border. The paving project in Lee
County should be completed by
early spring, and will provide a more
direct route from flhis section of the
state to Waco. Dallas and other
central Texas points. It i> also es-
timated that this U. S. Highway
when it is completed and opened for
through traffic, will help to relieve
the over crowded condition of the
Temple-Waco route by taking care
of a good portion of the traffic go-
ing directly north and south.
The organization of U. S. Highway j
77 Association of Texas, which was
completed at a meeting in Cuero on
March 22nd, 1932, was one of the
principal agencies in urging the im-
portance of this highway. At that
time the highway terminated at
Dallas, and through the continued ! ]
work of the organization the U. S.
Route was extended to Corpus
Christi, and so marked as U. S.

and county committees from the
Red River to Corpus Chrkti have
all worked together to have the
route completely paved, and the re-
cent contract calls for pavement on
the last unimproved section. Re-
quests have been placed with the
Highway Department to have U. S.
Highway 77 reconditioned in the
Cameron area, and to have the
route extended from Corpus Christi
to the Rio Grande Valley. It is rea-
sonable to expect that these condi-
tions can be complied with just as
soon as the increased traffic justi-
fies. and that this section of the
state will soon be experiencing
quite an increase in out-of-state
and through traffic.
