Americans

NEW ORLEANS, July 16 (U. P.). —Tony, a 10-year-old New Orleans boy, had the word of Lieut. Commander Edward H. O'Hare today that Americans are “going to win this war like we've won all the others,” provided that fighting men in the outposts get the help of everyone back home.

Tony was thrilled because his father, a non-flying lieutenant in a naval air force, was stationed at the same base with America’s flying hero. Recently, he wrote his father and mentioned the exploit of “Ed O’Hare and the six little Japs.” The father, a businessman, who volunteered after the Pearl Harbor attack, showed the letter to O'Hare. O'Hare, on Independence day, wrote Tony and his 8-year-old sister, Susan, but the letter obviously was meant to symbolize them as typical American boys and girls. The family permitted publication of the letter on the condition that last names be omitted. The letter was dated July 4, from a Pacific station. It said in part: “Dear Tony: “The other day I read the letter you wrote your daddy, Bill, about the ‘six little Japs and Ed O'Hare’ I waited until the Fourth of July

occasion for us who are fighting out here. On the Fourth of July, 1776, our forefathers signed the ‘Declaration of Independence’ and ever since that time real Americans have struggled to preserve the rights and liberties of free men. “We're going to win this one like we've won all the others. But everyone has to help. And that means you, too, Tony. You can do your part by taking care of your ‘mother, who is alone now since Bill has gone to do his part. And who knows, some day you too may be wearing the blue just like Bill and me.”

20,000 DOCTORS NEEDED WASHINGTON, July 16 (U. P.). —Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson announced today that he had authorized an increase in the number of medical department officers’ recruiting boards to obtain 20,000 additional doctors for the army this year.

automatic pistol. The agents burst into the room and overpowered him. Byron Piner, his accomplice, was arrested at Payette, Ida. after he wrecked his car. He also was sentenced. FBI agents recovered approximately $600 from Herring's room.

Maurice Herring and his accomplice, Byron Piner, were sentenced in Indianapolis June 12, 1939, one month to the day following the Linden bank robbery, by Judge Robert C. Baltzell immediately following their plea of guilty. The pair was indicted here in federal court on June 6, local FBI agents recalled. Served 5 Years in State

The U. S. marshal’'s office here said Herring and Piner were removed to the U. S. penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., on June 19. Herring gave his address at the marshal’s office here as Frankfort, Ind, and said he was born at Elizabeth, Ind. In 1934 Herring was sentenced to 15 years in the Indiana State reformatory, Pendleton, for armed robbery. He served five years.

McGinty Gives Legs to Country

ALPENA, Mich., July 16 (U. P.). —An aged man whose legs have been amputated can’t do much toward the war effort but Hugh McGinty, an inmate of Alpena county infirmary, has done some-

McGinty turned over his artificial limbs to the rubber salvage collectors. “The rubber in these legs may do more good somewhere else,” McGinty said. His contribution totaled three pounds. McGinty is now in a wheel chair. For his own use, he is making a pair of legs out of wood

and leather.

DENVER, July 16 (U. P.).—Use of sulfanilamides in preventing wound infections of men injured at Pear] Harbor and in the European war theater has saved many lives, Dr. Arnold S. Jackson, chief of staff of the Jackson clinic in Madison, Wis., said today. Jackson told the assembly of the International College of Surgeons that development of the “sulfadrugs” was “one of the most bril-

liant episodes in the development of modern surgery.” Dr. Thomas A. Shallow, professor of surgery at the Jefferson Medical college at Philadelphia, told the assembly the long-sought cure for cancer still was one of the great mysteries of modern medicine.
