General Goering, flying chief of
the Third Reich, was up over Lon
don in his own Junkers 88 bomber.
Goering was the former command
er of the Richthofen flying circus in
the first world war, and an ace Of
great renown. Like many an old
war horse, in the second world war
he couldn't keep his hands off the
controls. It was the first time, in
very long time, that general led
his own troops into battle.
Goering may be the black eagle
of Germany. But Harlem-New
York city's Negro section-has a
black eagle, too. His august name
is Col. Hubert Fauntleroy Julian. Jul
liam had just finished reading Hit
ler's book, "Mein Kampf." Julian's
blood boiled over, at Hitler's re-
marks on the colored race. This is
what happened:
Colonel Julian issued a challenge
to General Goering, to meet him in
a single, solitary combat. The
place was to be up over the English
channel. The weapons were to be
Messerschmitt planes. Colonel Jul
liam inferred that General Goering
was '1ousy 0 divided by o." Goer-
ing was to have 80 days in which to
accept the Julian challenge. The
challenge itself read as follows:
81 therefore challenge and defy
you, Herman Goering, as head of
the Nazi air force, to meet me at
10000 feet, to fight an aerial duel
to avenge the cowardly insult to my
race. Neutral correspondents must
be the referees" Colonel Julian
added that he would buy Messer-
schmitt from the British govern
ment, which had two captured ones
up for sale. Colonel Julian over
looked one detail. General Goering
is probably too fat to get into a.
Messerschmitt.
Julian was Halle Selassie's only
aier in the Ethiopian war.

merely blind, or not, remained to
be seen.
There was a yarn that 100000
Nazis were massed in Norway, for
drive across Some critics de-
clared that the light German tank
had proved utterly vulnerable to the
tWo-pounder British anti-tank gun.
This, they added, had caused Hitler
to delay his invasion, and might
postpone it indefinitely. That, again,
remained to be seen.
Just Kids
A very large number Of the Nazi
diers up over England were young
kids in their teens. They had been
raised under the totalitarian system,
and had the reckless fanaticism of
utter youth. Their only enthusiasm
was Hitler. They almost courted
death. The Nazi regime seemed to
be deliberately exploiting these am
ateur wild-men. Their bombs might
almost be termed: gifts to the
school children of London, from the
high school boys of Berlin Cor Bres-
lau, or Augsburg, or whatever). No
regime in history, said one historian,
had ever sacrificed youth in this
completely cold-blooded manner
that is, it's own youth. The Goering
flying circus might well be renamed
the Goering suicide squad.
More Kids
The London press screamed "mur-
der" at the announcement by the
British government of the sinking of
an English refugee ship with toll
of 293 persons, 80 of whom were
children en- route to Canada.
The ship, her name not disclosed,
was torpedoed 600 miles west of
England and sank in stormy sea
within 20 minutes after she was at
tackled.
Of 4O6 men, women, and children
aboard, only 113 were brought back
alive by a warship which reached
the scene at dawn-almost eight
hours after the torpedo struck. Sto-
ries of heroism and horror told by
survivors of the disaster indicated
that many lives were lost in the ter
rife explosion which ripped the YES
sci. Many others were swept from
lifeboats or died of injuries and ex-
posture.
The children were from 5 to Is
years old, and were the first lost in
the child evacuation movements
which have been under way ever
since the war began.
The attacking submarine was not
identified, but the tragedy was de-
scribed by government officials as
"another example of the barbarous
methods associated with Nazi Ger
many"

Social Security Search For 90 Gents Nets Mother Thousands In Benefits
Waterbury Included Among Many Cities
 In Search For Missing Records
BY BRUCE CAPTION Waterbury Democrat washington
 Correspondent

Correspondent
 Washington, October 8Because the Social Security Board kept 20 clerks and accountants busy for two months hunting a missing 90 cents, a Maryland widow stands to gain several thousand dollars.
 The widow is Mrs. Thomas Bruce Holland, of Riverdale, Md, and her story is a striking exam pie of the importance a little book keeping can have.
 Her husband died last January and she applied for social security benefits for herself and her four small children.
 The law says that a woman in such a position may draw benefits for herself and her children if her husband has paid social security taxes on as much as $50 in each of six calendar quarters spread over the preceding three years. SEARCH BEGINS
 FOR 90 CENTS
 When the records were checked it was found that Holland had paid properly on the minimum sum for five quarters but that for the sixth quarter he had paid taxes only on $49.10.
 Mrs. Holland remembered that he had worked briefly in that quar- ter for two firms not listed in the record. The Social Security Board went on a hunt for them.
 One firm had gone broke and was out of business. The other had changed hands and moved its offices. Accountants traced it from Washington back to Baltimore, and thence to Connecticut through New Haven, Ansonia, Seymour and Waterbury = after which the trail jumped to New Jersey. They finally dug up the original owner, and he said he could not recall ever having em- plOyed man named Holland. SMALLEST AMOUNTS SHOULD BE RECORDED
 The boards workers found a former fellow employe who recalled that Holland had worked for this man. His testimony refreshed the ex-employer's member and he checked back through his books and found that he had paid Hol- thought the sum was SO small it just land $5 in wages. He said he wasn't worth reporting.
 When that went on the Social Security Boards books, it put Hol- land over the minimum. As result, Mrs. Holland will draw benefits un- til her youngest child, now five, is IS. It will mean several thousand dollars to her.
 Moral, says the Social Security Board, is just this: the tiniest pay ment made to worker should go down on the books in Washington. If it doesn't, it may make all the difference to the mans family. years later.
