What did it mean to our Chinese allies
and our own troops? It is significant
that shortly after they obtained this
information the Japs mounted a new
offensive in China and set out to cap-
ture the specially constructed air fields
built by hand by the Chinese people
for the heavy7 B-29s. Months of labo-
rious, back-breaking labor of thou-
sands of Chinese workers were sacri-
ficed by demolition in a heart-break-
ing few hours in the retreat before the
onslaught of the attacking Japanese.
Stores of precious gasoline—parts—
and other scarce hard-to-get stores
flown at great risk over the famous
“Hump” were put to the torch. A ter-
rific set-back—an almost unendurable
discouragement.
We must keep our secrets. The best
way is to keep quiet.

In far-away Burma, early in 1944—
long before the B-29 became front-
page news at home—long before our
own forces in China and in India were
notified to expect this great super-
bomber—came news of its existence —
uncomfortably accurate technical de-
scription-positive facts as to pro-
posed bases ... from the JAPS. It was
all in an official bulletin of the Japa-
nese Army found among the papers
captured in a Jap stronghold in Burma.
This was not information obtained
by the enemy through air reconnais-
sance or the capture of prisoners or
official document^ in combat—it was a
leak of supersecret information right
out of this country, transmitted di-
rectly to the High Command in Tokyo.
What did Tokyo do with this infor-
mation? What action did they take?

From our first day, our program of service has
been activated by the desire to render a Person-
alized Service to both individuals and business.
The all-inclusive character of our program offers
every kind of banking service you will need. It
is tangible proof that we justly claim to be a bank
for all the people.
The tradition of our friendly dependability grows
daily as individual needs are treated with genu-
ine interest by a courteous, competent staff that
gives every need careful attention and solution.
tended to additional groups (war
workers); adequate FEPC appro-
priations and a permanent FEPC;
and enactment of the Murray-
Patman full employment bill and
the Wagner-Murray-Dingell social
security bill (socialized medicine).
One might again raise the point
that labels are misleading. To
provide full employment on the
•scale some urge, with government
•subsidies, might furnish full em-
ployment while government credit
lasted, but in the opinion of many
would eventually bring disaster and
unemployment to all.
Tlie resignation this week of
popular and attractive Colonel
Oveta Culp Hobby of Houston as
commander of the WAC has start-
ed some political gossip in this
section. It is rumored she may
run for Congress.

Congressmen the Army is to fly
around the world during this re-
cess. They will visit numerous
places in South America, then to
D:jkar, Casa Blanca, Cairo. Iraq,
Iran, the Holy Land. India. China,
Australia, the Philippines, and Ha-
waii. To make this trip would I
deny me eny time whatsoever at !
home. I have agreed, however,
to accept appointment under a
Congressional resolution for a brief
visit to Alaska, since one of my
committees handles all legislation
we
have numerous problems that need
investigation.

from TOO million dollars to 3 1-2
billion dollars. This Bank has
handled such transactions as our
50 million dollar loan to China
in the early days of the war. So
far it has lost no money, but has
shown a profit.
Many interesting things now are
coining io light relative to the
economic powers and scientific de-
velopments of the Germans. Among
lethal destructive weapons on
which they were working was an
atomic bomb called V-7. Its dread-
fulness if and when perfected is
almost beyond human comprehen-
sion. Scientists say that one
pound of this explosive would have
the energy of three million pounds
of our latest gasoline jelly bomb.
These things make the organiza-
tion for peace even more impera-
tive.
Tile resignation of Ezeqitiell Pa-
dillo, Mexico’s Secretary of State,
has created considerable of! the
record comment in the city of
Washington. Padillo's friendship
for America has caused him much
criticism in Mexico. He has am-
bitions to run for President there,
but doubtless could not be elected
as he is not a General. The heads
of government in our good neigh-
bor republics to the South are al-
most invariably the heads of the
armies. Real civilian governments
in those countries have been al-
most unknown. The results speak
for themselves.

Supplementary federal
By Congressman Ed Gossett
Washington, D. C., July 14.—The
I House this week completed action
I on the controversial war agencies
appropriation bill. There were two
particular items in this bill to
which I was very much opposed,
a 35 million dollar approriation for
the Office of War Information
which I thought should have been
cut in half, also an appropriation
: of $250,000 for carrying on tempo-
1 rarily the activities of the Fair
Employment Practices Committee.
Like some other agencies, the FEPC
belies its name and is not a Fair
Employment Pract ices Committee
at all. I this week concluded a
speech against this item by say-
j ing: “Those who are sincere in
their support of the FEPC are
confusing race purity with race
i prudery; they are confusing segre-
gation with discrimination. They
would destroy freedom in the fic-
titious name • of equality. Second
only in importance to the winning
of the war is the destruction of
these communistic tendencies in
I American life.”
Incidentally, many of here were
greatly pleased with Mrs. Roose-
velt’s condemnation of the Com-
munistic Party in America. Al-
| ways noted for her liberalism, Mrs.
j Roosevelt now states emphatically
that the Communists (meaning
those in America) are not to be
trusted, and that their prattling
of patriotism is a hypocritical
I smokescreen under which they at- of these points
