Justice Roberts investigating the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor accused the commander-in- chief of the United States fleet, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel (left) and the commanding .general, Lieut.-Gen. Walter C. Short (right) of "dereliction of duty." Representative Young of Ohio demanded Monday that they be court-martialed, asserting that "it's time for Americans to get tough."' President Roosevet relieved both of their commands and they since have applied for retirement. Young contended they should not be kept on the pay rolls as retired "at $6000 a year each." Two Gulf County 'Sergeant York' Measures Taken Plays Last Times Up By Bob Sikes At Port Today Bills Introduced Provide for Sur- Gary Cooper Plays Role of Ten- vey of St. Joseph's Bay and Taking Over of Canal A let1Tr -was--received yesterday from Congressman Bob Sikes stat- ing that he has just introduced. in the house of representatives at Washington two measures of con- siderable importance to the resi- dents of Gulf county. The first of these is to provide ' survey of St. Joseph's Bay with a view to further improvement in the interest of commerce and navi- gation, mainly due to the fact that our port here is, taking on added significance as an outlet for wa- ter-bourne commerce from the in- :erior since the sinkings by Axis U-boats of vessels on the eastern aboardr. Specifically, the deepen- ing of the entrance channel to the bay, the north channel, the turn- ing basin, andi the south channel from their present depth of 27 or 18 feet to 32 feet is sought. This increased depth is considered es- sential by Sikes in order to pro- vide for increased oil shipments and other activities. The present rivers and harbors 'ill contains an item recommended by Sikes which provides that the nessee Farmer Who Captured 132 Germans Single-Handed If you haven't seeu "'-ergeani York" at the Port theatre, during the past two days. today is your last chance to see this grand pic- ture. It is the factual story of Al- vin C. York, Tennessee mountain. eer who became America's number one soldier hero of the first World war and is based on his diary. 'Gary Cooper stars in the title role, and Walter Brennan.and Joan Leslie, who plays Gracie Williams, the present Mrs. York, head the supporting cast of hundreds. War sequences show training flashes in camp and battle action in the Argonne Forest in France. One engagement, most famous single encounter df the war, is pic- tured in detail. This is the, action where York performed his amazing feat of single-handedly killing 25 German machine gunners and cap- turing 132 prisoners. In bestowing the Croix de Guerre. on York, Marshal Foch told him what he had done was the greatest single achievement of any soldier of all the Allied armies during the four United States Engineers shall, take yeav' 0o tile war. over and. maintain the south chain- This picture is rated by critics oael This provision is not affected as "the last word in great Amer- by the new bills. can entertainment."

Our Country Right or Wrong LET'S REALLY SETTLE DOWN TO WAR While the Japanese have swallowed Singa- pore and threaten to swallow the Philippines, people of the United States have yet to settle down to their earnest task of winning the war. Our people continue to cling to the as- sumption that an Allied victory is a certainty and continue to regard our apathy as some- thing that can be brushed off "when the time comes." We are in the position of the boxer who has been matched with the champion, is determined to win the fight, but has made only a few motions toward training for the scrap. Our enemies will call this a breakdown ol. democracy, but our enemies are far wrong in assuming this. It is true taht United States production has not yet gone into high gear. But mainly, our lack of speed and our lack of a sense of reality about this job hinges on our general complacency and overconfidence rather than any fault in the way our system works. Like all democracies at the beginning of .any war, our country is big, cumbersome and a little slow in getting underway in actual war prosecution. But there is no failure of patriotism. There is no unwillingness or lack of ability to fight anywhere in the world. There is no lack of ability to produce with the greatest factories in the world. The main trouble lies in our smugness and failure to realize what may happen if we lose the whole Far East and if our production wheels do not begin to turn right now. It is apparent that the Japanese have hurt us badly, and may hurt us more. The Japan- ese have vast quantities of airplanes and tanks and, like the other Axis partners, have a big jump on us in general war production. The problems of transporting our war equip- ment to wherever we can reach the Axis are enormous. The fight will become infinitely great if the Japanese succeed in taking all the strategic points, in the Far East, cutting us off from Australian bases .from which we have planned major operations. The Japan- ese must be stopped in the Far East or we face the worst possible peril. However, we must retain confidence in the final outcome, a confidence based on realism and the lessons learned from our early de- "feats in the world. People of the United States must be constantly reminded of what defeat would imply-a loss of our hopes and liberties. Our people have it in them to rise to the greatest height of might and fury such as the world has never seen. We must out-hit Hitler and out-jump the Japanese. To accomplish that end, we must arouse ourselves now from the lingering malady which threatens to stifle our all-out effort. We must realize that that there is a possi- bility that the United Nations can lose the war! One St. Joe woman says she's glad of this tire rationing. She don't have to shove the floorboards out every fifteen minutes since her husband seldom drives over 25 miles an hour in an effort to conserve his tires. TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE Singapore's capitulation to the Jap. in- vaders adds another chapter .to the growing' record of the unpreparedness of the United Nations ' It is the old, old story of Norway.and of Crete support for the. beleaguered garri- son is "too little and too late." Let us hope that MacArthur gets support at Corregidor before it is "too late," and that that support will not be "too little." Needless to say, Singapore's fall has in- creased immeasurably the difficulty of tihc Allied position in the Far East. It has re- moved Japan's greatest East Indies threat and has paved the way for possible swift Nipponese conquests of all that vast and fabulously rich archipelago.. Furthermore, it has placed the huge and vital continent or Australia in a most unhappy position, inas- much as that country's invasion by the enemy is almost virtually assured. Worse still, it makes available to the ag- gressive Japanese in almost limitless quanti- ties, those commodities, oil, rubber and tin, needed so desperately by them for the prose- cution of their war effort. Democracy is.paying a fearful price for its refusal to recognize the evidence of intended Axis aggression. Now, handicapped by lack of equipment and a paucity of armed men, it apparently has no alternative but to accept a destiny that must entail years of "blood, sweat and tears" before victory can be at- tained. ^s-. -^-= GOOBERS WILL FURNISH OIL By cutting off supplies of oils that norm- ally have come from other countries, war has raised the American peanut to a place of importance that it never before has at, trained. To fill the gap in the oil supply, to fatten more hogs to No. 1 size, and to satisfy othey needs of this country and her allies, Ameri- can farmers are being counted on to raise 5,000,000 acres of f..,-I:lut this year-3,000,000 acres more than they raised in 1941. Florida's 1942 production goal for peanuts for the edible trade and for oil is 273,000 acres, of which 200,000 acres will be grown for oil and 73,000 acres for the edible trade. This total of 273,000 acres is 179,000 acres more than was grown in 1941, and it doesn-' include peanut acreage that must be grown, for hog feed and grazing. PIPELINE IS PROVING WORTH With the sinking of numerous oil tanker- in the Atlantic by Axis submarines, the Port St. Joe, Fla.,-Chattanooga, Tenn., pipeline is proving its worth as a means of conveying much-needed gasoline to the eastern sea- board. Tanker after tanker from the Texas refineries docks here to discharge cargoes of gasoline which is immediately pumped to the northern terminus of the line. In fact, the value of such lines has now be- come so obvious that Secretary of Interior Ickes, petroleum co-ordinator, this week rec- ommended the construction of an $80,000,000 pipeline system from Texas to the Philadel- phia-New York area. One country has certainly lost the war. That country is Italy. Late reports indicate l she amounts to little more than a German I province. At the present time, Italians are permitted but three and one-half ounces of , meat a week, one-fifth of a pint of milk per l day, and two and one-half ounces of butter a month. Even oil, basis of Italian cooking, a is limited to one-half pint per person per month. Mussolini's German friends are liter- h ally bleeding the country white of foodstuffs i and other supplies, v A lot of old-timers have been saying that 0 the automobile would never replace the h horse, but it's taken 40 years and the Japan- a ese to prove their point. i K s Keep smiling-and buy Defense Bonds! se: TOMO RRW MAY BE TOO LATE Perennial Vegetables Yield Food for the Duration * If your Victory Garde: large enough, select a those few vegetables w perennial and will be p features of the garden. important ones are aspar rhubarb, the former far important.
