; RM So : INAWA (By Navy Radio)—After a couple of.
days ‘with the headquarters of the marine regiment .
I moved to a company and" lived and marghed with them for several days. The company is a part of the 1st marine division. At first I introduced myself to the company commander and he took; me on a half hour's walking trip around .the company area before tupning ‘me loose with the men: They. had turned in for the night and put out perimeter: defenses so no infiltrating Japs could get through and any big attack gould be dealt with. The company was on .a hill about 300 yards long and about a hundred yards wide. The men were dug in down the sides, of the hill. There was a mortar platoon at the foot of the «hill, all set up to throw mortars any direction. . Our part of the island had not then been declared “secured,” and we had even received warning of possible attacks from sea that night, So nobody was taking any chances. : : “This 4s. the most perfect.defensive position we've ever had in our lives’ the company commander said. “One company could hold, off a wHble battalion for days. If the Japs had defended these hills they could have kept us fighting for a week.” :

THE SPOONING season is in full sway at that famous old trysting place—the Soldiers and Sailors’ monument. Every day—when it isn’t raining—you can see several couples standing around the base of ‘the monument, making sheep's eyes at each other, . or whispering sweet nothings. In almost every instance, the boy friend is wearing the uniform of his country. , . . Oyerheard in front of the circle bus station: Supervisor—"Why don't you want to drive that bus?"

If anyone should conduct a dandelion contest, the world war memorial plaza—between North st. and the library—would be an easy winner. It's a pretty sight when they're all yellow. But a lot of good greens are going to waste. , . . A man walked into Haag’s at 88th and Illinois and briskly tossed six empty shaving eream tubes onto the counter. “Here's six empties. And give me six full tubes of shaving cream.” he ordered. The druggist stared, then replied: “Sorry, but I can't let you have that many. We get only ‘a few at a time and have to limit them. And besides, you don't have to turn in empty tubes gny more.” The customer looked dazed. Crestfallen, he departed, with ope tube.
Starting Early * SOMETHING NEW in juvenile delinquency was discovered by the police juvenile aid division. A policeman picked up a 5-year-old boy who seemed to be lost and took him to headquarters. There it was found the boy was playing hookey from kindergarten. The 5-year-old had devised the idea of pretending to start for kindergarten but not showing up there. He was getting away with it, too, until the policeman got too nosey. . . . Miss Dorothy Brooking of the police missing persons bureau is taking a ribbing from some

AFTER THE VON RUNDSTEDT “bulge” was nipped off, our air forces were given the green light for strategic bombing. And from there on, if you will review our daily headlines, it was thousands— even up to 10,000—planes at a clip that put the finishing touches to the destruction of the Nazi war machine, We started this war or the wrong foot, Too many responsible people in high places, caught flat-footed the role airpower would play, have been trying to cover their errors by recitation of their estimates of the limitations of airpower. In some .instances, those who were late getting on the airpower wagon have overreached - common sense in their estimates as to what was to be expecied of airpower. These were the: very people who. “broke” every time the going bcam tough and a short priod of intensive mass bombing didn’t bring the war to an end. Remember the Nazi decision to call off the Battle of Britain when another 48 hours of the air drive would have prought England to her knees? This admission came from the British themselves some time after the danger had passed.
What Is the Matter?
TIME AND AGAIN I am asked by airmen: “What is the matter with the professionals in this country who seem to dance with glee every time they think they have detected an airpower limitation? Don’t these fellows realize the disservice they are doing our folks
back home in thus promoting the ‘pro and con of airpower arguments among the services to the proportions of a national wrangle?”
flame-throwers have to be rugged guys, for the apparatus they carry weighs about 75 pounds, and also they are very much addicted to getting .shot at by the enemy. But to see: Albert sitting there telling that joke on~himself and me, you'd never know he was a rugged guy at all.

TWO—"“The majority of the peo-|

Before the war the Poles were the largest single racial group east of the Curzon line, although they were a minority of the entire population, which included about four and - 2a half million Ukrainians, about a million White Russians and a million Jews. But, unless they would be a free plebiscite, there is no reason to assume that these groups would prefer Soviet rule to Polish.

The A. F. of L. has no member on this commit tee, although Mr. Green sits on a larger body to which the report will be made. . Mr, Green lays claim to being a pioneer in putting forth. the annual wage idea. This was though a plan he presented to NRA in 1934 for stabilization of employment in the automobile industry— staggering of the release dates of new models, projection a year in advance of the manufacturers’ requirements of raw materials and a yearly guarantee of wages to the production workers: : X This plan was rejected, Mr. Green says, not because of specific objections, but “merely because it was a union proposal.” Some students of the present effort to provide income guarantees to men who work with their hands, on much the same basis as to “white collar workers,” think the automobile industry would be a good place to start. If peacetime automobile pro duction could be regularized, they say, the steadying influence would spread down through steel and glass production and eventually affect other industries. » » ‘8 MR. GREEN CAUTIONS: “We must not look upon the annual wage as a magic formula. It is not’ applicable in all situations. Nor does it lend itself to general application by government man= date. The annual wage involves every issue of wage and employ= ment policy, and should be applied on a voluntary, not a com= pulsory, basis.” Authorities agree it would be easy to guarantee wages for every working man if the government would undertake to make up the deficits of private employers in time of slack business.
