MRS. A. R. HOLTHOUSE HOSTESS TO CLUB Mrs. A. R. Holthouse was hostess to the members of the Research club Monday afternoon.

Because of the migration of over 3,000,000 negroes to the north to do their part in the prodigious war effort, by-ra-cialtem has become the problem of the whole United States. The solving of this problem after the war 'will demand patience, sanity and the clearest thinking on the part of all.

STRONGPOSTWAR (Continued From Page One) from congress on matters of poetwar tax policies. He assured congress that there was no question of the ability of the country to pay off its huge public debt. Morgenthau poured cold water qn reports in financial centers that the government was about to offer higher interest rates on its securities offerings. “Continued low interest rates,” he said, “will be a major contribution to economic stability and the maintenance of full employment after the war, for low interest rates stimulate business and encourage new enterprise.” The interest rate on the public debt as of June 30 last year averaged 1.93 percent, Morgenthau said. o Escort Carrier Loss Revealed By Navy Casualties Held To Less Than Hundred Feb. 14 —(UP) — The skipper of the sunken escort carrier Ommaney Bay told today how severely wounded men were strapped to cots rigged with life preservers, lowered over the sides of the burning ship, and floated in the sea until rescued. The skipper, Capt. Howard L. Young, revealed that there were fewer than 100 casualties. He said the loss of life was remarkably small in view of the bad hits suffered by the ship. All of its planes went down with the carrier. Young disclosed that the Ommaney Bay had to be sunk by torpedoes from American ships after it had been set afire by two bomb hits from a Japanese plane while enroute to Luzon. The bomb hits set fire to the flight and hangar decks. Fires severed all communication between the front and rear part of tho ship and burned the life rafts. Someone —Young didn’t remember who t ordered the badly wounded to be strapped in the cots. Four life preservers were rigged to each cot. Then the cots were lowered into the water by line. In the water two or three uninjured men were detailed to watch each floating cot. All the survivors, including the wounded, were picked up from the water by other ships. Except for the few ships detailed to the rescue job, the convoy of which the Ommaney Bay was a part continued on toward Lingayen Gulf. Since none of the ships could turn back, all of the survivors—including the wounded —had to go through the entire Lingayen battle and were under fire many times. Some of the survivors manned guns on other ships. Some were killed in the fighting around the gulf.

War Victim's Mother Receives Letter From Son's Commander

Mrs. Leroy Taylor, 563 N. Seventh street, mother of Staff Sgt. Willis Taylor who died in action with the American Rangers in Italy on January 30, 1944, has received a letter from First Lt. James J. Altieri, who was Sgt. Taylor's commanding officer in the fatal battle. The army officer describes the ‘battle and pays tribute to Sgt. Taylor. His letter follows: January 31, 1945 My dear Mrs. Taylor: Your most welcome letter arrived today, and as I did know your brave son personally, am more than anxious to enlighten you in regards to information you desired. Mrs. Taylor, I realize only too well what the loss of your son means to those who loved him. Truly your grief and sorrow cannot be compensated by anything that I might state. However, you have a right to be terribly proud—for your son was outstanding among his fellow-men. He held the esteem and respect of all those who knew him and he died a hero's death among his friends. He and the many other Rangers who were killed on the Anzio beachhead will never be forgotten for what they have done for their country. It is indeed tragic that so many of our best and bravest have lost their lives, but .it is inevitable in a war so fiercely waged as this one. Just before our embarkation for the landings at Anzio, I was placed in command of the 2nd platoon of “C” company. Willis was my mortar Sgt. From the time that 1 first met him, he was always conscientious and efficient in hie work. He always made it a practice to help others and to pass along good advice to the new men. When we landed at Anzio he was at his best —cool-confident —efficient. He was of inestimable help to the success of many of the platoon’s missions. During the first few days of the beachhead he was exceedingly cheerful despite the circumstances. He certainly was never afraid of death, but he voiced the wish that he hoped he would not be wounded and come home crippled or disfigurMany Believe Russia To Join War On Japs Agree Reds Key To Victory Over Japs Washington. Feb. 14. — (UP) — The so-called educated guessers here are betting today that Russia is going to join the fight against Japan—sooner or later. There are some observers —and they are pretty much in the minority—who think that the Russians aren’t going to lift a finger after the Germans are beaten. But all agree that Russia is the key t« an early victory over Japan. Military experts believe the Pacific war can be shortened as much as a year if the Russians throw their vast military might against Japan’s powerful land army in China. Top American military authorities have said repeatedly that it will be necessary to defeat Japan’s well - equipped, battle - toughened army on the Asiatic mainland in order to bring about final conquest of that country. Some have said this would hold true even if the home islands of Japan were conquered first. Once the war in Europe is over, Russia would be in a more favorable position than the United States to core with Japan’s army in China. Without Russia’s help, American ground forces would have to be transported thousands of miles from Europe and the United States—a tremendous shipping and supply task that would consume much valuable time. oUnited Mine Workers Journal Editor Dies Huntington, Ind..

ed —he wished to die an instantaneous death if it had to come. Just before the Rangers were to attack Cteterna, I waa placed in command of another company and did not get to see him before the attack. The last I saw him he was smiling and kidding with some of the fellows. Company “C” — his company, was the spearhead of the attack up the-road to Cteterna. Advancing at night on January 30, they encountered stiff opposition from well entrenched German positions astride the important road. Hte company was in the thick of the fight, destroying many enemy positions. Their losses were heavy also. (Meanwhile, the first and third ranger ibattalioas had infiltrated past the enemy outposts and were almost into the town, when they became surrounded by strong enemy forces. The story of how they fought until the end is well known. The two Battalions were lost. Willis was found the next day and was given a proper burial with a chaplain attending services. Hte grave is well kept and marked. I wish I could tell you more, but you no doubt realize how difficult it is to reconstruct something of that nature. However, 1 can assure you of this much: He died an instant death —the way he wished it; and he had no fear of death. Only the loved ones of those who fell know the full and poignant meaning of sacrifice. From all those who knew Willis, may we extend our profound and heartfelt condolence. We feel proud to have lived and fought with men such as he. If you have a close-up picture of Willis, I may be able to add it to the Ranger book. This book will be ready sometime in the near future. When it is, 1 shall be pleased to present you with one of the first copies free of charge as a presentation of the Ranger. 'I shall be ever ready to be of any help, should, you desire further information on anything pertaining to the Rangers. Hoping you the very best.
