CENSORSHIP STILL

Navy Chiefs Maintain Strict
Silence on Flight.

HONOLULU, May 11-Forty-five
U. S. Navy planes that started a
mass fight ever Pacific waters
Thursday remained obscured today
in the same effective censorship
that concealed them from the lime
of the takeoff.
Apparently headed for Midway
Island, 1900 miles from Hawaii, the
squadron of crack bombers and
scouting planes had been unrepOrted
for approximately 30 hours early
today. A nonstop flight TO Midway
could have been made in about IL
hours. presumably secret orders
called for at least one stop en- route.
The wartime censorship, which
kept progress of the As planes with
crews of 200 officers and men secret,
brought home to Hawaii and the
United States the full import Of the
effectiveness of naval maneuvers in
the vast amphitheater of war in the
Pacific. Even the Navy Department
at Washington had no information
of the progress of the flight.

Uncle Sam seemed to take particular
interest in John Smiths electric equip
ment. In newspaper advertisements,
bill boards, show windows, Mr.. Smith
was informed the Government gladly
would help him buy his electric washer,
his refrigerator, his radio. The help
came in the payment terms-Mr.
Smith was encouraged to buy at
nothing down and little q month
over long time.
THIS was part OF the home modern
ization program pushed by the
Federal Housing Administration. John
Smith could get loans for o number
of other purposes. too, from patching
a leaky roof to installing bath room
or completely remodeling his home.
The r. H. A. also stood ready to
assist him in buying house. Up to
November 16, the administration had
insured home mortgage loans totaling
$222. .113, 900. home modernization loans
totaling $212.544,0o0. Funds were pro-
vided by private financial institutions
under Government guarantee.
OF all this years Federal legislation,
perhaps John Smith stood to be
affected most by the social security
measure, providing for old-age pen
sions and unemployment insurance.
Just what the legislation would mean
to him depended to a great extent
upon what cooperative measures his
State put into effect. t

TINE strings that controlled many
of the material phases Of John
Smiths life remained in Wash
u ington during 1885.
What happened along the Potomac
was at least as vitality important to him
this year as the developments OF
extraordinary 1888, 1884.
There was this big difference: Dur
ing the first half of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, John Smith was inclined
to look first to the White House and
then to the Capitol to learn how the
recovery and reform program would
affect him. This year he eyed the
Supreme Court.
He understood what the history
books meant when they discussed the
American governmental system Of
checks and balances"
And he realized that the nine black.
robed justices could and did affect his
manner Of living.
He saw It most clearly when the
Supreme Court voided N. r. A. throw

WITH the Blue Eagle dead, John
w Smith no longer could look to
the Government to back up agreements
for minimum wages, maximum hours.
Many called the decision death

results was TO push organized labor's

rural and suburban areas are consid-
cred as requiring this emergency serv-
ice, the more congested sections of
cities and towns having medical and
hospital care quickly available.
Station personnel trained in Red
Cross first aid is always required. The
procedure usually followed is for the
chapter to make a survey Of station

medical profession. by the State high
way departments and by State police
in those places where our field men
have visited. and by the enthusiastic
support given this new service by our
chapters.
"In addition to the permanent flrst-
aid highway stations the Red Cross Is
organizing mobile units through the
cooperation of utility companies,
State highway departments. State
police and motor club patrols. Nearly
all work and construction crews Of
these corporations have already been
trained by the Red Cross In first
aid and 1t Is now proposed that their
vehicles carry first-aid kits so that
the crews will be able to give help
to those hurt on the highway. Many
Estate highway patrols and State high
way employees already have received
first-aid instruction, as have the mem
bers o. many motor clu patrols.
When each Of these units carries
first-aid equipment, their members
will be able to aid many injured
persons"
While stressing the actual assistance
to be made available to victims Of
highway accidents, Red Cross officials
are convinced from their long ex-
perience In safety work that the
presence of first-aid stations will
have a very salutary effect on motor
lists, causing them to be less reckless.
When Mr.. Motorist drives by a
Red Cross flrst-aid station. he knows
why it Is there, his mind is forced
to consider the possibility Of accident;
after he has passed half a dozen, the
impression deepens and this con-
sciousness should be reflected in more
careful handling Of his car.
