Gen, Evans Carlson, who was wounded on Saipan,

At the edge of a pasture, sitting cross-legged on the grass or on low boxes as though they were at a picnic,

are 13 men in greasy soldiers’ coveralls. :

one side is a shop truck with a can‘yas canopy stretched out from it, making a Sort of patio alongside the truck. And under this canopy and all over the ground are rifies —rusty and muddy and broken This is the small arms section of our medium ordnance company. To this company comes daily. in trucks the picked up, rusting ri of men killed ‘or wounded, and rifles’ broken in ordinary service. ; | There are dozens of such coms ee ; panies. This company turns back around a hundred rifles a day to its division, all shiny and oily and ready to shoot again. They work on the simple salvage system of taking good parts off one gun and placing them on another. To do this they work like a small assembly plant. The first few hours of the morning are given to taking broken rifles apart. They don’t try to keep the parts of each gun together. All parts are alike and transferable, hence they throw ‘each type into a big steel pan full of similar parts. At the end of the Job they have a dozen or so pans, each filled with

Hoosier Vagabond By Erie Poe

SOMEWHERE IN NORMANDY (By Wireless) — of Watts, Okla., who used to work in the ofl fields.

Just since the invasion he's invented a gadget that cleans rust out of a rifie barrel in a few seconds whereas. it used to take a man about 20 minutes.

Soldiers Do a Lot of Kidding

‘SGT. WELCH did 1t merely by rigging up a swivel shaft on the end of an electric drill and attaching a cylindrical wire brush to the end. Bo now you just stick the brush in the gun barrel and press the button

.on the drill. It whirls and in a few seconds all rust

is ground out. The idea has been turned over to other ordnance companies, : The soldiers do a lot of Bidding a8 they sit sound taking ‘rusted a everywhere roe ag ay about their home states. A couple were from Arkansas, and of course they took a lot of hillbilly razzing about not wearing shoes till they got in the army and so on. ! One of them was Cpl. Herschel Grimsley of Springdale, Ark. He jokingly asked if I'd put his name in the paper. So I took a chance and joked : back, “Sure,” I said, “except I didn’t know anybody in Arkansas could read?” ; Everybody laughed loudly at this scintillating wit, most of all Cpl. Grimsley who can stand anything. The original stack of muddy, rusted rifles is a touching pile. As gun after gun comes off the stack you look to see what is the matter with it— Rifle butt split by fragments; barrel dented by bullet; trigger knocked off; whole barrel splattered with shrapnel marks; .guns gray from the slime o1 weeks in swamp mud: faint dark splotches of blood still showing. You wonder what became of each owner; you pretty well know. Infantrymen, like soldiers everywhere, like to put names on their equipment. Just as a driver paints a name on his truck so“does a doughboy carve his name or initials on his rifle butt. You get crude -whittlings of -initials in -the-hard walnut stocks and unbelievably craftsmanlike carvings of soldiers’ names, and many names of girls. "The boys said the most heart-breaking rifle they'd

found was one of a soldier who had carved a hole

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

MRS. LOIS GODFREY, formerly: with the War Labor Board and now Ayres’ consultant, had the radio on at home during the recent Democratic national convention. Among those listening to the proceedings, including the Democratic aoratory, was Mrs. Godfrey's 6-year -old daughter, Ann. The next morning, apparently after much thought, Ann asked: “Mother, what do you. think our family would be called— Republicans or Christians?” .. 6 A large excavation -- about 10 feet deep—in the sidewalk blocked one of the two doors to Canary Cottage yesterday. The management, taking no chances on anyone not noticing the other door, only a few feet away, posted a sign: “Please use other door.” Grumbled one patron: “S'matter? Do they think I'm dumb enough to try to jump across that hole?” ... The Red ‘Cross is in need of more women volunteers to make surgical dressings. With the opening of the Normandy front, the need for surgical dressings has been multiplied, and the local Red Cross chapter has been given a quota of 200,000 dressings a month. Particularly needed are volunteers who can work in the daytime. No skill is required—just time and patience. It's merely a matter of folding in the prescribed manner the ready cut dressings. There are a number of centers where the work is done, including community centers, some schools and Butler university, with headquarters in the World War Memorial building. If you can spare a little time for our wounded service men and don't know of a center near your home, call the Red Cross, LL 1441, .

Wrong Number

SHERLEY UHL, The Times’ city hall reporter, wishes he could get his telephone number changed.

Bitter Campaign

WASHINGTON, July 27.—Evidence is accumulating. that this presidential campaign is going to be one of the bitterest in history unless there is a vigilant exercise of tolerance and restraint all around. It would seem to put an extra responsibility on everybody—on political, civie, business and labor leaders, on newspapers and radio, and on the individual voter, himself. For much is at stake, much to democracy and its deals and forms, in the way this campaign is eonducted. The Chicago Democratic convention has come in for much panning on various counts. It was the usual spectacle, with its bright and its shabby aspects, its hysterics and its histrionics, its political trickery and its higher moments such as that when Vice President Wallace stepped to the platform. It was very much like the 11 other national conventions observed by this writer since 1924. It was the same noisy, stumbling, hilarious performance that American political conventions always have been. We take our democracy that way. We like it, and it works. There was much talk of one-man domination of the convention by President Roosevelt. After all, he is the leader of his party, and a President in office seeking renomination usually dominates the convention, as did Coolidge and Hoover in my time.

‘Run for His Money’

ONE MAN dominated the Republican convention in Chicago a few weeks ago, too. Governor Dewey sat at the telephone in Albany to direct his own nomination for an office for which he had never acknowledged his candidacy, an acceptable procedure in American politics. He had his hand-picked candidate for the vice presidential nomination, Governor Warren

-0f California, and the convention would have taken

him in a minute, except that he didn’t want the job. Governor Bricker of Ohio, who took it, had to have Mr. Dewey's approval before the convention took him.

It's very similar to that of one of the local war plants which transacts a lot of its business by long distance phone. The result is that Sherley nearly has heart trouble every time he receives a phone bill. Last month's bill, for instance, was $18—the result of some of the war plant's toll charges getting on Sherley’s bill by mistake. It's most disconcerting. ... With no offense intended to our neighbors to the south, we relay a yarn making the rounds, According to the story, a young Kentuckian working in a war plant here wrote home for some relatives to come up here and get jobs. “When we work more than eight hours,” she wrote, “we get time and agin, and on Sundays we get paid twice.” . .. Betty Hantzis, receptionist at WIRE, is $10 richer because of an amusing typographical error she sent in to the Readers Digest and which appears in the current issue. From the Shelbyville Democrat, the item commented that “Mrs. Eimer wilkinson, of Arlington, spent a day decently in this city."

Some Deserved Praise

ONE THING you have to hand it to the city administration for is the conditions of the streets. They seem to be in better condition than in some years, despite the wartime shortage of help and materials. And that includes the unpaved streets, too. Many of these have been given a tar and gravel surfacing this summer, a big improvement over their former condition. . .» Members of the rationing board at Bloomfield, in Greene county, seem to go in for fancy birthday dates, the OPA news bulletin relates, For instance, Carrie Humphreys, the chief clerk, celebrates her birthday New Year's day. Jean Wright, the tire clerk, celebrates on July Fourth. Marjorie Resler, the gas clerk, observes Armistice day as her birthday, Mary Fiscus, the price clerk, had to dig pretty far back into the records to join the select throng. Her birthday is April 27—the same natal day.as that of General Ulysses ‘8. Grant.

By Thomas L. Stokes

Each party got the candidate for President that the rank-and-file party members wanted overwhelmingly, according to the polls. It has not always been that way. Democrats did nat get the vice presidential candidate who led in the polls, but the selection was thrown open to the convention, as so many had advocatea, and went for more than one ballot—one of the few times it had done so in modern history. Everybody had a run for his money, though the party leaders exercised pressure in the end, as so ofteri happens. } Much has been made of the big city Democratic bosses, and few would defend them. They always have been a sordid phase of our democracy. Republicand also have their bosses, the Pews and the Grundys, representing wealth, and the Creagers and the other Southern bosses with their “kept” delegations at national conventions. They once had big city bosses, too, but they haven't been able to carry the big cities in recent years.

Americans All

NO PARTY has a monopoly on virtue or villainy. A great uproar has been raised over the attempt of labor to have a voice at the Democratic convention through its C. I. O. Political Action committee directed by Sidney Hillman. Farmers and other groups have always been around conventions, and I saw.embattled farmers try to storm the 1932 Republican convention, but without success. Mr. Hillman has been held up to opprobrium because he was born in Lithuania though his country had advertised as one of its cardinal tenets that it is a refuge for people from everywhere. The foreign names in the C. I. O. Political Action committee are recited. They read about the same as the All-American football team, or the roster of a company of American boys fighting in Normandy or the South Pacific, and like the casualty list of GI Jims that Clare Boothe Luce read to the Republican convention: “Smith, Martof, Johnston, Chang, Novak, LeBlanc, Konstantakis, Yamada, O'Toole, Svendsen, Sanchez, Potavin, Goldstein, Rossi, * Nodal, Wrobleswski, McGregor, Schneider, Jones.

By Eleanor Roosevelt

For us, however, as individuals, it will always be a tragic spot, not only because of the. boys who died there, but because of the many boys who were

_ wounded. They are beginning to reach this country,

and some of them were in the San Diego hospital.

A great many of those able to do so gathered in the patio so that I could say a few words to them. .* As I crossed the country by train myself, I not. help thinking of the wounded boys who across it to different points where they can hospitals nearer home.

ARGENTINA'S RULE FOLLOWS FASCIT PLAN

Armed

Muzzles Press, Services, Police Like

Nazi Pattern.

By ALLEN HADEN Times Foreign Correspondefit MONTEVIDEO, July 27.—How fascist, -really, is Argentina today? The answer, though Argentines object to the unpleasant foreign connotation “fascist” and. claim their system is purely Argentine

pattern is authoritarian and consciously anti-liberal. Sometimes it resembles that of; Nazi Germany, sometimes that of fascist - Italy, sometimes that of Vargas Brazil. But the government -of Edelmiro J. Farrell is not simply “South American fascism”— a bunch of tough hombres disregarding individual rights for the sake of their.own ambitions. It follows an ideological socio-political pattern which makes Argentina today something to be taken seriously.

a syswem “or “eve coritror “of “$e i s, using certain known techniques—principally differs from the European brand in that a single party as yet has not been created. In this it resembles the Vargas type of authoritarianism in Brazil. Power is insured by coddling the army, the navy, and the police; including the junior gestapo. ; Public opinion is controlled and directed into anti-liberal channels by strict censorship over newspapers, radio broadcasting, book and magazine publishing, theaters, movies and public and private meetings. Bows to Labor

Popularity is culled by a series of concessions to labor which should have been received long ago. Such

hours and promises of universal social security. Such labor unions as exist have been reorganized to operate only when led by safe government tools. Strikes are prepared by government “agents provocateurs” to achieve the ends desired by the government. High finance and industry are solidly with the government. especially the group of industrialists benefiting hugely from the program of rearmament. . While cattle barons grumble a good deal for sentimental reasons, they don't grumble very loudly since steers on the hoof fetch about three times their pre-war prices. Nowhere does the break with Argentine traditional liberalism appear so clear as in the field of education. Liberal teachers, from the primary schools to the universities have been winnowed out. Argentina's two most liberal colleges, the University of Cuyo and the University Del Littoral, have been reorganized by the ultra-na-i tionalists. \ Organize Educators

A kind of general staff for teachers called “Escuela Superior Del Magisterior” has been established recently. This organization’s purpose is to eliminate “materialistic, utilitarian, cosmopolitan education based on positivism (this is, sci ence), : Teachers will learn “national defense” so they may understand “the sense, dignity and sovereignty of the fatherland.” In blunter language the purpose of education is now obscurantism, that is to further mass ignorance. This jibes with the necessities of nationalist mass control. For, taken as a purely mathematical proposition, an unenlightened mass of people is more docile and more easily managed, and can be bilked, cozened and exploited by the nationalist elite. And that is what Argentines in general don't know. Only their press could tell them. But the press is muzzled.

PLANT WORKER HURT IN 2-GAR COLLISION

William Orme, 54-year-old Allison worker, was in a serious condition at the City hospital from injuries received in a two-car collision at Epler ave. and Harding st. today. He received a crushed right arm, internal and head injuries. Mr. Orme, who lives at R. R. 4, Box 644, was driving north on Harding st. when his automobile and one driven by Howard Dill, R. R. 4, Box 532, which was traveling east on Epler ave, collided. Deputy sheriffs arrested Dill on charges of failing to stop for a preferential street and reckless driving. Charles Marsh, 41, of 6165 Roslyn ave., was treated at the City hospital for injuries received in a traffic accident in the 900 block on N. West st. last night. Mr. Marsh was a passenger in the automobile driven by W. N. Pfeiffer, 208 N. Elbert st. Driver of the other car in “the collision was Harry Henry, Lafayette. Blanche Tucker, 30, of 603 N.

WASHINGTON, July 27 (U. PJ). —Chairman Andrew J. May (D.

In a formal statement on the invpsion of Guam, in which he predicted the island's conquest within 30 days, May denounced the “spirit of isolationism” that “dominated the minority and largely influenced many other” house members five years ago into refusing the navy's request to fortify the island.

‘Noisy’ Garbage Collectors Quit

WEEHAWKEN, N. J., July 27 (U, P).—Cans of garbage stood on the curbs in this community today as collectors were ordered by their union agent to stay off the job until Municipal Judge Cyrus W. Lunn defines what he means by “unnecessary noise.” The collectors were ordered out by John J. Conlin, business agent of the Teamsters and Chauffeurs union, to protest a threat by Judge Lunn to have them are rested unless the noise stopped. A Weehawken resident had complained in court that the collectors were “making an, unnecessary noise that constituted a nuisance.” “As things stand now,” Conlin said, “These collectors could be arrested for making any noise in their work and garbage collecting —is—far— froma quiet task. If Judge Lunn doesn’t like my instruction to these men, he can collect the garbage himself.”

What pigs they are! And how brave your young men are to come and rescue us from them.” : Another woman, the mother of seven, told of being chased by Germans through the town in their effort to add her to the stream of refugees. She insisted on returning to find her children but at her door a German with a revolver refused to permit her to go in for her month-old baby. Finally, she told him to shoot as she was going in. A German officer coming along, waved the soldier aside and she found her brood. She hid with them in the cellar until the Germans had gone and then came out through a rain of mortars.
