But he got an especial bang out df a certain: letter , delivered to him over in Germany a few weeks ago. He had just returned from what then was the front, : when the letter arrived. It was too good to keep, so he passed it on to me. The lettér, on stationery of- &: local, department store, says: “Dear Mr. Thurgood: Have you been away or something?

One of my agents was on a trackless trolley the other morning and got the low- ' down on a near-crisis. that involved a big Indianapolis bank. According to the story, the Fletcher Trust Co. had to get rid of all its cuspidors when women seplaced men as janitors. The women just wouldn't have anything to do with the spittoons. When the, “bank “obtained the services of former Governor Schricker, he looked around for the spittoons. To his horror he couldn't find any. Uncle Henry, you ‘know, is an inveterate chewer of Beech Nut chewing | tobacco—or maybe it's Mail Pouch. Well, sir, no ~ spittoon, no work. Finally, through some means or other, the crisis was relieved and the governor got his cuspidor. And it's the only one in the whole bank, I'm told. .

The bomber has pretty much had its own way in this, the most bloody - and destructive war the world has ever seen. Anti-aircraft gunfire was first a joke, then became troublesome, and finally became a menace to the bomber when radar was employed as the shooting guide. Nevertheless, bombers continued to roar into Germany day and night, in the face of a curtain of fire, to smash that country into rubble. The bomber at one time was prey to the faster fighter.

He had long been a membper of the post and I have long been a member of the auxiliary, but We were away so much that our membership was largely in name. In speaking of my husband, Sheriff Close said that the members present in that- room represented a cross-section of America, and that they had always been very proud of having as a member of their post the commander-in-lef of our armed forces and the President: of our otintry. In any Dutchess county audience, one is safe in uming that political affiliations are largely Reublican. But that night there was no question of olitics and there was a genuine friendliness which shall long remember; and I deeply appreciate, as I now my husband would have, their desire to honor I was particularly happy to have an opportunity p talk to some of the mothers and wives afterwards.

This is one of several books that have come from the prolific pen of Max Droke. He has an advertising specialty agency at 1014 N. Pennsylvania st. ,. After looking at a picture in The Times trash piled up on the curb out on Jeriny lane, a couple of readers came through with suggestions on how to reduce the amount of trash. Both Vernon M. Scott, 1127 N. DeQuincy, and ‘Mrs. R. F. Bacon, 1117 W. 37th, suggested that if everyone would process tin cans for. salvage, as they're supposed to do; there'd be much less-debris to haul away. And conceivably, the service might be better. :

Wrong Direction RAY J. KILEY, district manager for the France Stone Co, ‘had to go to the home office in Toledo recently. In Toledo, Mr. Kiley booked passage aboard a Southern Airlines plane for the return trip and phoned his wife to meet him at the airport at 10 that night. The plane was 45 minutes late in arriving at the airport here. As soon as Mr, Kiley was on the ground, he heard himself being paged over the loudspeaker. He was called to the phone. It was his wife on the other end of the line. “Ray, you're going to be mad at me,” she began, “I'm out here at Cleveland, Ind.” It sees that, being a comparative newcomer to Indianapolis, ghe became confused and drove EAST on Road 40 instead of west. When she got to Greenfield, she asked where “the airport” was. “Oh, out east of town,” she was told. When she got there, she discovered she was at the Greenfield airport. Mr. Kiley rode downtown in the airline's car. «+. Mrs, Marie Kegel, 3005 Villa ave, has learned that the way of the Good Samaritan is difficult. Returning from work Saturday morning, she saw her neighbor, Mrs. Ruth Schaekel, picking up nails on the highway. Mrs. Schaekel told her a lumber truck had scattered nails for a couple of blocks. Mrs. Kegel joined in the business of removing the nails from the road in order to save motorists’ tires. You'd

- think motorists might appreciate the help, but ap-

parently they didn’t. Mrs. Kegel says: “We were nearly run over several times by thoughtless motorists who most likely were under the impression we were picking daisies, Only one driver stopped and gave us any help. Next time motorists see two women picking up nails in the road, I hope they'll

lower their speed and not blow their horns.”

breaking to see them clinging desperately to clothing we would refuse to wear and carrying sacks of wheat, sewing machines, saws, tools, kettles and beans. Girls, women and old men shoulder sacks that I couldn’t lift, swing two suitcases by the straps over their shoulders and carry still another. A stout elderly woman sits among her seven sacks and angrily debates the herd for going off with their own bags and leaving her. A white-bearded man speaks sharply to her and she lashes him verbally.

Fear to Go Home.

WHEN THEY were brought to Germany and Austria, these young men were boys. They went into villages, and onto farms to. work so that German men could go to war. That was a long time ago. Gradually they settled into their new existence. When the war ended they were in no hurry to gO home, In fact, even now they often evade the opportunity and American policy is too force no one. The Russians, so interpreters tel] us, want to return but many mothers of illegitimate children fear punishment. Furthermore, the Germans lost no op-~ portunities to tell them that their homes had been burned and that working in Germany was better than going back. Probably the Germans were right but the Russians’ love of their homeland is strong.

have to fly far faster than any piloted aircraft, fast enough to intercept a falling bomb or a speeding rebomb. More than 15 years ago, I experimented with the development of such a weird gadget. Even without radar or jet propulsion, reputable scientists were ready to attempt building such a defense weapon. But the idea was scoffed at in high places. The necessity for spending money against such a “plaything” as airpower was neither understood nor appreciated.

Watch This Gadget

BUT NOW we have radar and jet propulsion. And watch this gadget, which will stop the bomber, come. It will be a winged affair, carrying a sizable load of explosives. It will bé jet-propelled. It will be a miniature airplane, with the wings and fuselage and the controls of the standard aircraft. Its flight will be guided by an automatic pilot mechanism. Its tar-get-seeking mechanism undoubtedy will be based upon the radar principle. It even may ride the radar beam to its target. As we know radar today, it is possible for a ground or shipboard operator to locate the exact position— altitude, course and speed—of an unseen bomber, hidden from sight by thousands of feet of intervening cloud masses. Once located, it will be feasible to guide the aerial torpedo along that wave to collision with the bomber. The fuselage of such an aerial torpedo need not exceed 12 to 18 inches in diameter —a pretty difficult target for the bomber gunners, since it will travel at 1000 to 1500 miles per hour. It always can be driven faster than the robomb, the crewless bomber. This is the kind of gadget man must provide to stop the: bomber, - the weapon which threatens his existence. The AA gun is not the answer. It was out of date from the beginning. But it was the only thing we had, so we had. to perfect it-and use it.

On Wednesday, at the invitation of the secretary]:

of the treasury, I went over to the air force convalescent center at Pawling, New York, to take part in one of the radio broadcasts for the 7th war loan drive. It was wonderful to see the improvements which have been made at the center since I was there a year ago last February. The young commanding officer showed us the rooms, which are made much less formal than institutional rooms would ordinarily be. There are many activities—among them a wooodworking shop, an art room, a library and, of course, a gymnasium and a well-developed physio-therapy department. The best part of the broadcast, it seemsed to me, was the part in which the men’ themselves spoke over the air. One young man told me he was leaving the next day to go back to duty, and while he didn’t like to talk about hi§ experiences he felt he could do it just once for the good of the other fellows, On Thursday evening I went to the meeting of the Elks in Poughkeepsie. They had a dinner which Secretary Morgenthau attended. But since I am not going to parties of any kind now, I preferred to attend just the ceremonies at which they gave me their medal of valor and certificate ‘to honor my husband.

Some offenses can only be settled with cannonfire and bombs.” The next day conversations continued between Ciano and Lord Halifax (foreign minister, and now British ambassador in the United States). They talked particularly of Spain.

Jan. 12—“I repeated to him our points of view and he gave his,” Ciano wrdte. “He doesn't seem very convinced, and at heart, I think, would be happy if Franco’s victory would settle the whole thing. . . . Our conversations with the British have ended, Nothing was accomplished. “I have telephoned Von Ribbentrop that the visit was a ‘big lemonade’ — absolutely harmless.” » ” n CYNICALLY CIANO records that France cannot risk intera vention in Spain. Jan, 15—“A natiol’with 40,000 mgQre deaths than. births in the last six months cannot indulge the luxury of pouring out the blobd of its limited populations + + +» Mussolini said this morning, “If Paris sends forces, we shall unload 30 battalions at Valencia even if this should provoke a -world war.” Ciano was in Belgrade Jan. 1823. Balkan politics and a visit by King Boris of Bulgaria occupied him from then until Jan. 26 when he went golfing and heard at the club that Barcelona had fallen to Franco. A nation-wide celebration was planned immediately, Jan, 26—“Il1 Duce, too, was very moved although he likes to appear imperturbable. He has good reason to be satisfied. Victory in Spain bears only one name, that of Mussolini, who conducted the campaign bravely, firmly even when many people who now applaud were against him.” Jan. 27—“Lord Perth (British ambassador to Rome) has submitted for our approval the outline of the speech that Chamberlain will make before the House of Commons, so that wé might suggest changes, if necessary. “Il Duce approved, and said, ‘TI believe this is the first time that the head of a British government submits to a foreign power the outline of one of his speeches. It's a bad sign for them.” . 8 8 ALL THE crooked devices of axis diplomacy appear in .he next days as Italy pressed France for concessions in Africa and prepared for the Feb. 1 parade.

ernment in Belgrade turned ate tention Feb. 4 to Albania again. Ciano records Italy's decision.

Feb. 5 — “With Steyadinovich, partition of Albania between us and Yugoslavia; without Stevadi-. novich, occupation of Albania by us without Yugoslavia, if necessary, even against Yugoslavia.” Mobilization of an attacking force began. Italy’s program was this: Feb. 6—“We shall intensify local revolutionary preparations. The date of the action: The week of Easter.” » » » HE PLANNED to see Ribbentrop in the interval and “perhaps” tell him the plans. Il Duce by this time was less certain that the Japs should be included in the axis alliance.

Feb. 8—“He is of the opinion that an alliance between Germany and Italy should be concluded without Japan. He observed that such an alliance would be sufficient to meet the AngloFrench forces, and at the same time would not appear anti-Brit-ish or anti-American.” - Il Ducé was unconcerned over the pope’s death. Feb. 10—“The news leaves Il Duce completely indifferent.” Mussolini sought only to discover if the pope had left any damaging statements for the use of his successor. He agreed to attend the funeral which pleased Ciano “because it will create a good impression on the conclave” (to elect a new pope). » 2 » THE DIARY skips from point to point. The same paragraph notes the signing of a commercial agreement with Germany, and Mussolini's comments about Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels. Feb. 13—" ‘Goebbel’s is wrong, comments Mussolini, ‘not because he raped Froelich’'s wife (German Film Actress Lida Baarova,

wife of Actor Gustav Froelich), but because he permitted his face to be slapped. One may take another man’s wife, but not his insults.”

Feb. 19—"“I1 Duce is more and more * bitter against France. In these last months, he said, the French have reached the peak of their treachery. ... The Italians hate France, but Il Duce intends to increase this. “When he shall have waged war and defeated France, he will show the Italians ‘how peace should be made in Europe.’ He will not ask for indemnities, but will destroy all, and level many cities to the “ground.”

Feb. 21 — ‘Franco has decided to adhere to the anti-Comintern

pact, communicating his decision -

to our (German and It#lian) ambassadors, even though it will be secret until complete victory. . . . It gives us the egg today and the .chicken tomorrow.” » ” ” THE FOLLOWING day, he recorded Il Duce’s delight at the decision adding: Feb. 22 — “After three centuries of inactivity, Spain becomes again a living, dynamic factor and what is more important, an anti-French power. “Those silly persons who criticized our intervention in Spain one day perhaps will understand that the foundations for the Roman Mediterranean empire were laid on the Ebro, at Barcelonia, and at Mallaga. . “Many Italians were prisoner (in Catalonia), Monarchists and Communists. I informed II Duce and he ordered

taken

them all shot, adding, ‘Dead men .

don’t talk’.”

Feb. 22—“Attolico (ambassador to Berlin) has sent a very interesting’ account of his conversation with the Egyptian minister, Murad Pasha. He speaks in the name of his king (Farouk), who declares he hates the British, and

getting his material first-hand.

Here is another condensed chapter from the dramatic and colorful book, "Battle Below, the War of the Submarines," by Robert J. Casey, famous Indianapolis Times war correspondent. Mr. Casey spent considerable time with the undersea fighters

of the news that had begun to filter in from Pearl Harbor. “I suppose maybe we were taking a long chance to stick around Manila Bay, but there didn't seem to be any cure for it,” one of them said. “We were right under the gun. +++ More so by several thousand miles than Pearl Harbor had been, and we didn't know if we’d ever be able to come back once we got out. » ¥ » “THE JAP attack, when it came, as I found out later, was just about like the one in Pearl Harbor. The fighter planes came low and strafed us with machine guns. I guess they got some men on the tender in the first few minutes, “Those boys had guts. Instead of taking cover they stayed out where they could relay orders to us.” “They wanted us to get under before the bombs came, and they never seemed to think about themselves at all. “A lot of them were still out on deck when we finally submerged, ~ ” 2 J “I SUPPOSE it was a matter of seconds between the time the first wave came over and the time we sounded the Klaxon for the dive. But there didn’t seem to be

any such thing as time any more. | |,

Hell was just loose all over the place and it didn't look like there was ever going to be any end to it. “We felt a little safer when we straightened Her out a few feet off the bottom, but not much. The bombs kept coming down ‘for at least an hour, and if the Jap shooting had been as good as it got to be later I don't think any of us would have come out of it. . » ”

" » » CIANO LEFT Feb. 24 on a longplanned journey to Warsaw. A general entry covering his visit speaks of Poland's characterless capital,” declaring: “Poland, in ‘spite of all efforts by Beck (Polish minister of foreign affairs), is fundamentally and constitutionally anti-German. “Poland will continue its policy of harmony. . . . With Russia, nothing more than essential contacts. ith France, a defensive alliance on which it does not rely more than necessary. With Germany, a good neighbor policy, maintained with difficulty. . . . It is far from being a totalitarfan regime, in spite of the fact that the only voice that counts in Poland is that of a dead man. Pilsudski. “When great crises come, Poland long will remain on the verge and only when the outcome is clear will it go to the side of the victor, , .. ” " » ON THE WAY home at Tarvico, March 2, Ciano received the news of Cardinal Pacelli’s election as Piux XII. ; March 2 — “It did not surprise me. I recall the conference I had with him Feb. 10. He was very conciliatory and it appears that in the meantime he has improved relations with Germany. “Pignatti said only yesterday _ that he is the cardinal preferred by the Germans. At dinner I had said to Edda (Edda Mussolini, his wife) and to my colleagues, ‘The pope will be elected today. It is to be Pacelli, who will take the name of Pius XII" My prediction interested everybody.”

Cavite and they blew her apart with virtually all the crew. Only a few men who had been on.the bridge when she was hit were saved. “Well, we finally got into water deep enough to cover us, and we lay there until the row was over. When we surfaced at night we got orders to come back in, and we did and picked up what we could find in the way of supplies. We couldn’t find much. » . ” “ALL THE stuff we'd had on our decks was on the bottom of the bay, and there wasn't much lying loose around the docks but rice and such

stuff. We began to figure that wel:

were going to be a lot thinner before we got another square meal and we were right about that, too. “We hung around there for a couple of days, and then they gave us our march orders and we started up north. It was a long time before we got back to a place where we could sit down again. . , ." » » »

THEY went out on that north patrol and they strewed the beach of Lingayen harbor with wrecked transports. They ran arms and medical supplies into Corregidor in the days when MacArthur's battered army was beginning to die a slow death on its feet. They carried out intelligence surveys that took some of ‘them well up: into the waters held by Hirohito's home fleet. They took the gold réserve of the Philippines and generals and impoftant officials and nurses and other refugees out from under the very noses of the Japs. And eventually they became the greatest single menace that the Jap navy was to encounter in this war,

HUEY LONG'S SON’ WED

, Labor , United Nations: Tie Is Sought By Labor Body -

WASHINGTON, June 19.—In-

given a going over this week when the governing body of the International Labor office opens its 95th session in Quebee. The I. L. O. is .a surviving agency of the old League of Nations, and the only one to which the United States belongs. The most important question in the Quebec meeting is ex- 3 pected to be the I. L, O.'s rélationship to the United Nations organ=-

Francisco. j I. L. O. leaders say the question is expected to be answered through negotiations between the new organization and the 1. L. O.,

a procedure that may stretch over a considerable period. » » w

THE SUBJECT will be affected by what the San Francisco charter has to say about an international body for promotion of labor standards throughout the world—whether it is decided to maintain something like the £2. L. O. or to submerge this phase in a general agency to deal with world-wide economic problems. The I. L* O. is composed of representatives from governments, labor organizations and employers of the member countries. Labor membership is confined to one national body, and in the United States the American Federation of Labor has been able to monopolize this representation. ” Do » The C. I O. viewpoint was expressed here by James B. Carey, secretary-treasurer of that organization, when he declared that “the economic and secial council of the new United Nations organization will not be able to function effectively without the advice of the whole trade union movement.” :

His reference was to the new world labor body in which the C. I. O. represents American labor, and with which the A. P, of L. has refused to have anything to do on the ground that it would not recognize the large Russian labor organizations as “free trade unions.” » - ¥ : ROBERT WATT, experienced international representative of the A. F. of L. will speak for that organization in Quebec. Government representation will be headed by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins.

There have been reports that Miss Perkins might become the head of the I L. O. after her retirement July 1 from the department of labor, but these have been - discounted by her associates.

The I. L. O. will hold another international labor conference in Paris in September, and about the same time and place there will be a meetings of two other bodies—the World Trade Union congress, to which the C. I. O. will send a delegationand the International Federation of Trade Unions, of which the A. P. of L. is an affiliate and which so far has barred both the C. I. O. and the Russian unions.
