She has been at sea, without returning home, longer than any other carrier in the. Pacific, with one exception, She left home in November of 1943.

Here it is that large numbers of ? / veteran fighter pilots come directly from action overseas to learn the newest methods of aerial combat and destruction through strafing of enemy personnel and equipment behind the lines. The . course includes ° new methods in use of rockets with which one fighter plane alone can deal almost as much firepower -on a single flight as a light cruiser. It also instructs the veterans, " heroes of many missions; in how better to use the fighter plane as a. “flying gun” as they must aim the plane at a target as they would a machine-gun. This because its guns and rockets are in fixed positions. It is the AAF Fighter Gunnery Schogl, and one of its main courses is a “refresher” in all accepted phases of fighter gunnery, dive bombing and rocket firing. Through this plan of attack, the Germans already have suffered loss of hundreds of railroad engines and trains, tanks, ammunition trucks and other rolling equipment, fighting planes and bombers and thousandy of troops killed.’

THOSE Japs had just been whipped in the battle of the Coral sea But their drive on foot from Buna across the Owen Stanley mountains of New Guinea, aimed at the elimination of our vital toehold at Port Moresby, was still progressing ominously. Col. Sverdrup was ordered to make a reconnaisance trip to explore the possibility of our building a road across New Guinea, east of the Jap positions, whereby we could move up troops to attack the ‘'enemy’s Buna stronghold.

And - there was No cartridge in the chamber of his pistol, so he had to remove the clip and load while the Jap was firing wildly away. Then the colonel drilled him. » =" » J ON THAT trip he had no tent. He carried one blanket and a

Crations were his only food— “I'd like to throw.all the C rations in the army at the Japs.” he says -~except for an cccasional pigeon or wild pig.

wanted the natives on our side.”

have arrived too exhausted to fight. Instead, he recommended to

Gen. Casey at Brisbane that a series of airstrips be put in, on sites he had spotted during his trip. The farthest strip would be on” the Guinea coast 30 miles east of Buna. Gen. Casey, who incidentally likes to pair in song with Sver-

WASHINGTON, March 15.—The rise of a poll-taking as an implement of government public relations is seeding a new crop of tech-

They are scattered through bureaus and agencies under a variety

of unrevealing titles.

Among the experts there

“fraction defective,” “3 sigma control limits,” ‘error bands.” A poll director and a consultant as well is Dr,

OTHER census experts are Morris Hansen, statistical - assistant to Director J. C. Capt, and A. Ross Eckler, chief of the division of special surveys, which conducts polls for census and other government branches. Top poll authority in the agriculture department is Rensis Likert, head of the program sur‘'veys division of the bureau ‘of agricultural economics. War food administration, office of price ‘administration and the treasury department are ‘among outside agencies which have used Likert polls:

WFA HAD a poll on food likes and dislikes. OPA quizzed motor-

Lewis would be a touch of legality to which the miners to vote, perhaps overwhelmingly. Mr. Lewis’ use of the strike -ballot. provision of the ComnallySmith law has an ironic angle. This statute was the direct result

of the first coal strike in 1943.

If the strike vote comes out as ® expected; if the ‘coal operators and miner leadership have not been able to agree on a new contfict acceptable to the government agencies that will have to

pass on it, and if the mines have

not been seized, there would be

no criminal penalties for - the strike promoters. zn = 2 HOWEVER, - seizure of coal

mines in the past has not served

to guarantee their full operation

when the miners didn't want to

work. There is nothing in the law to punish any individual for not working.

In the present situation federal officials appear to be waiting in hope of a break that will avert the need for anything drastic. Reports from behind the coors that conceal the operator and United Mine Worker negotiations are of two kinds. ‘ One, that the parleys -are farther advanced now than at the same stage in proceedings of the past. -However the operators last night had not been able to agree on the phrasing of their rejection of the union's 18 demands. The other, that Mr. Lewis and his aids, hard bargainers, have

shown no sign of backing off on

any item. Meanwhile, shortages in domestic and industrial coal are be-

“coming so serious as to create a certainty that any extended mine

strike - this year would be' far

more harmful to war production than the stoppages of 1943.

We, the Wome Parents Aided By Youthful War Workers By RUTH MILLETT

THE NATIONAL Child Labor committee is going to Study the war-born system of paid employment of high school students under a plan organized and supervised by the schools to see jf there is a place for such a setup in the postwar world. The committee is, of course, interested in such things as: “Does a job increase the student's interest in schools and is his work favorably or adBut whatever

versely is decided about the effect super-

vised work has on high school kids, it is certain it has helped the family wage earner. n » BEFORE THE WAR the American ideal was for parents to educate their children from¥ the first year through college without any effort on the children’s part—outside of going to school. If the children had to work to pay their way or part of their way through high school and college, then the parents felt they had fallen down on their job. » ” a BUT THE WAR cameésralong and opened up all kinds of work to high school and college students. ; Since their working was looked with favor, parents didn't have to feel they had failed because the children were earning their own spending money and often their own cldthes and school expenses. In many a middle class or poorhome that was a God-send. ° 8 » a IF IT PROVED that high school students working. under the proper conditions are not handicapped
