! REFLECTIONS—

Morale” Builder

By John H. Sorrells i

THERE'S A LITTLE FELLOW from Texas going around the "country with :a trick fishing rod and a line of tall tales, and if your son.is in a military hospital, you'll probably be hearing about him, His name is Andy Anderson, and he is sports editof of the SerippsHoward paper in Houston.: "He visits hospitals putting on his act with the fishing rod, and .yarning in his “west of the Pecos” drawl, and he rolls the boys out of their bunks and wheel chairs. Andy is an expert caster—plug, surf or fly. He can flick cigarets right out of a man's mouth with a fly line, and cast’ a plug across a long ward between his legs. - And he's strictly private enterprise. ‘He's a morale builder, without benefit of government title, rank or per dieny; —He thought -the idea up all by himself, ‘and he's got bookings that would make a lecturer's agent jealous.

'All Happened Gradual Like' IT ALL happened gradual like. For years,” Andy has been writing tn. the Houston Press about the outdoors, with special emphasis on fishing. Several years ago, he began giving lessons in casting, strictly civilian

because that was before the war. Houston big shots were all crazy about Andy and if he didn't have to work for a living he could spend all his time fishing

and hunting with the dudes. After the war started, and when the casualties began to come home, Andy started putting on his little act for the wounded boys in hospitals near Houston. He would actually give them ‘sound lessons in casting, but would sandwich this in with stuff he does with his trick rod. And in order to carry things along, would talk to them, mostly telling them stories. They liked it down there, and pretty soon Andy hegan to get invitations to put on his show in hospitals further away. That involved travel and expense. So some of Andy's big shot friends in Houston

From MacArthur's Philippine fields our planes can blast the China coast, only 700 miles away. Equally important they can blanket the South China sea, Japan's main supply line. Whether the next strike will be against the Dutch East Indies, Formosa, or islands nearer Japan, or the China coast, the enemy command will not know until the blow falls, to pick any of those spots for attack.- ” . . » » . OUR HIGH COMMAND, however, is anxious for the American public to understand one thing. Although Japan has lost the initiative, she still has a strong defensive position. Adm. Nimitz points out that the enemy’s defensive advantages include: Geographical position and shorter supply lines than ours, ability to produce planes almost as

NEW CONSERVATION DIRECTOR

THE people of Indiana are justly proud of their state ‘conservation department.. It always has been just what its name implies; a stewardship. to bring fuller life for the citizens of the state and to preserve rich heritages of natural resources and beauty for future generations.

WORLD AFFAIRS—

Throne or Gibbet? |

By William Philip Simms

WASHINGTON, March 14— Behind the scenes in Washington | and London a spirited debate is in progress over whether the Jap-. | anese Emperor, Hirohito, ‘should be shot or hanged as a war criminal or retained and used by the allies. A London dispatch sayg that well-informed sources” there expect he will ‘be named by the alhes as Jap Public Enemy No. 1 to swer for Japanese atrocities— especially 2 et tion of American fliers after the Doolittle raid on _ in 1042. That top-ranking Japanese leaders should be made

to pay for these and other war crimes almost everybody agrees. For sheer barbapi¢y«ehe Japs have ex- | ceeded even the Nazis. The" war has stripped them

of the thin veneer of civilization previously acquired. | But the problem of the emperor is not so simple. | To his subjects he is a sort of god. The first of his line, Jimmu Tenno, or. Emperor of Divine Valor, they was Sth in- descent from Amaterasu-O-Mi- | Kami, the sun, goddess or “Heavenly-Illuminating-Great-August-Deity.”

A Symbol and a Mere Tool?

SOME, BOTH HERE and abroad, argue that because the Japanese believe their emperor is of divine | origin, he must be made to suffer jn order to prove | him an ordinary, erring mortal. . These say his palace should ‘be hombed and that he, himself—in case he survives—should be executed like Hitler and other war war criminals Others, equally outraged by Jap atrooities, take a different view Hitler+and Hirohito, they contend, are very different. Hitler is a .fiendishly capable leader, an infatiator, while Hirohito is a rather stupid man, a symbol and a mere tool.

Flight io Paris

PARIS, March 14. One Sunny afternoon you are in Washington, at the airport. The next evening you are looking dowh on the scate tered lights of Paris, not the flame ing, brilliant Paris of old, but a lady without her jewels, .But still it is Paris, the end of the line. The plane hovers, then descends into the darkness. Every« body aboard is relieved. For hours i we have been waiting for this. We ’ get set for the final landing, for that thump. It comes, a good honest thump of solid earth. d J Then the plane settles down.

The runway is rough. There is still the roughness of a new clay road that a county<highway gang has gone over in the spring. The holes still have not been smoothed out,

‘Washington Yesterday, Tonight Paris’

WE FILE DOWN the plane's steps and go over and stand in a dark corner, well away from the plane, for the gasoline truck has- just come to fill the 30 tanks, and we all want to smoke.. We break suddenly into chatter, like schoolboys. We talk about the plane now as a friend and praise her.

A sunny Washington afternoon yesterday. Toe night, Paris. ' We sat about the Washington airport yesterday, quiet and grim, singly and in pairs, each darting curious glances at the others, out of casual eyes, trying to be nonchalant. My wife sat vith me. As I looked around I noticed that most.of the army officers sitting there were fairly close to my generation, the generation that knew when aire “contraptions.” We have not yet quite’ got accustomed to flying—although these officers had been back and forth to Europe several times, as I suspected then and as I learned afterwards. Eventually the call came. We filed out of the airport and walked to the plane, all of us silent. We walked up the steps and took our seats. Presently the forward door opened and a trim young captain, the pilot, leaned through the doorway and announced our first destination, in Newfoundland, He told us how long the flight would be and announced that we would fly at 7000 feet. He was crisp, confident, and reassuring. Soon we were off the field. Washington disappeared below us.

‘Like Something Out of Whittier’

IN AN HOUR we were over New York, looking down on the skyline. It is just as impressive as when seen from a boat, though in miniature. Not much later we were over Maine. The snow lay on the lowlands, with the woods in between, looking as if some -giant had come along scattering slightly | faded sugar, willynilly, lavishly, as if he had never | heard of rationing. The. pilot had announced our landing time, and exactly on the minute we came down and got out in a desolate, snow-covered scene, like something out of Whittier. We went to a barracks for dinner, driv.

At dinner I spoke, timidly, of how the world had acclaimed a young man, Charles A. Lindbergh, only 17 years ago for flying from New York to Paris,

car or a suburban train, Soon we were back in the plane and off again, The captain of the new crew announced briefly, like his predecessor, our next destination—the Azores— the time of the flight, and that it would be at 7000 feet We had taken on some new passengers, four army nurses, bound for the Azores to join hospital planes coming back. One travels with each plane,

'One of the Flying Generation’

THE FIRST OFFICER, Robert PF. Addicks, of Houston, Tex. sat down .beside me. H# has béen back and forth many, many times, like the captain of a ferry boat. He is 24,’one of the flying géneration. .'He learned to fly at 16, used: to “dust” cotton in Texas in one of those old planes that would hardly hold together. We hit the Azores right on the dot. We stood and watched the wounded loaded off one plane and put on another. There was the work for nurses going back, We filled back aboard again and the new captain announced our destination as Paris, told us when | we would arrive and said we would fly at 7000 feet. It [ was becoming monotonously uncanny. He was righty we agrived on the minute. We got~into a bus and headed for Paris. .

IN WASHINGTON—

Trouble- Shooter

By Peter Edson

WASHINGTON, March 14 — When “Assistant President” James . F. Byrnes cracked down on race tracks, night clubs, conventions -and other, unnecessities of Iife, patfons and. purveyors of these costly ‘pleasures began to ask, “Who's Jimmy Byrnes?” with the added implication of “How does he get that way?” The questiong are more of & confession of ignorance on the part of the night clubbers and the race track touts than they are a slur on the record of the official who since last November has been known by act of congress as director of the office of war mobilization and reconversion. Justice Byrnes has been around Washington for 28 of his 64 years. In the ast five years, the war years, he has been given more thankless jobs, and in the same breath he has been given many honors and some of the worst breaks ever.handed any may in public life

Elected a Congress in 1910

BYRNES WAS first elected to congress from South Carolina in 1910. He was in the house for ]14 years, then out of it for six before going to the senate. He

| had been a senator for 10 years when the war broke

out. Before Pearl Harbor he had fhe tough job of pushing through the big appropriation bills for army and navy, against the isolationist sentiment, When President Roosevelt came out for the third term in 1940, it was Senator Byrnes who was his floor manager at the Chicago convention, though Harry Hopkins pulled the wires backstage. Byrnes might have had second place on the ticket. He withdrew his name so as not to weaken Roosevelt's chances for re-election when the religious issue was raised against him. Byrnes got his reward for his admittedly great personal sacrifice and- for his recognized political ability in June, 1941, when he was named to the supreme court. But he was‘allowed to keep this secure and honered position for only 16 months. In October, 1942, the President asked him to resign from the court and accept appointment as director of economic stabilization--a- thankless job,

Labor Turned ‘Thumbs Down' IT FOLLOWED that if tougher jobs were made, Byrnes would get them. After seven months in OES: he was picked by the President td be head of’ the office of war mobilization, responsible to the President for the entire civilian econo as well as taking on all the controversies of all, thé war agencies. Byrnes was again considérgd for second place -on the Democratic ticket in 1944, , But as director of both OES and OWM,; -Byrnes had conscientiously Labor—in this casa meaning Sidney Hillman and thg C.
