Legislators Hit
By New Racket

WASHINGTON. March 19.-
Now it can be told.
Some half dozen of the nations
congressman have been fleeced by
a smooth confidence man with just
a slightly new version of an old,
old racket.
The loss was not heavy-total-
ing some S150-but the cumu-
lative blows to the legislative dig
nifty were terrific and the Depart
ment of Justice has been called in.
The story came out today be-
cause Representative Gearhart
(R) of California, a former prose-
cutor, became suspicious and did
some checking up.
A well dressed, prosperous look
ing middle-aged man came into
his office. Posing as an impor-
tant constituent, he discussed peo-
pie back in Fresno, Cal, Gear
harris district, and informed the
congressman he had just pur-
chased shipping line.

Mines Rain From Sky
Raj Operations Credited With Sending Thousands

Written Expressly for International News Service

LONDON, March 10. - British
aircraft have flown a million and
a quarter miles to lay mines which
have sent many thousands of tons
of enemy shipping to the bottom
of the sea.
More than 100 ships engaged in
enemy supply are definitely known
to have been destroyed in an area
representing less than 10 per cent
of the total mine fields laid by
the Raj and fleet air arm. Among
these losses were war vessels and
troopships involving heavy casual
ties in the personnel of the Ger
man forces.

GO WHERE SHIPS CAN'T

Aircraft have laid mines in har-
bors, where no mine-laying ship
could penetrate without being
sunk by shore defenses, in narrow
roadsteads and in shallow chan
nels. They have often been laid
with extraordinary speed.
On one occasion it was impera-
tive that a channel, in the posses
sion of the Germans, should be
mined Immediately. 1t was 600
miles from any British base.
Orders were given at 6 p. m, and
by midnight the minefield had
been laid.
Mines must be laid with pre-
cision. Unless they are exactly in
a shipping canal they are of little
use and, quite apart from the
obligations imposed by interna-
tional law. may be a danger to
British shipping unless placed
within limits of clearly defined
areas.
Therefore, each pilot is given a
pin-point chart and instructed to
drop the mine at precise spot.
Mines are laid at night so the
enemy cannot see where they
have been placed. The operation
requires the greatest skill in
navigation.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-19
NO SHIP TOO BIG

Air-laid mines are long cylinders
with the explosive force of a tor
pedo. They can sink or damage
the biggest ships. They are known
TO have sunk a number of 10000
ton ships in the Baltic.
Mines are slowed away in a
bomb compartment and inclosed
by folding doors on the under side
of the fuselage. A parachute opens
as the bomb falls, permitting the
explosives to slip gently into the
water without damage TO its
delicate mechanism.
No German harbor is immune
from British mine-laying aircraft.
Neither distance nor defenses con-
stitute barrier. Because so many
ships have been sunk, conveys
from Norway hug the coast and
proceed with utmost caution.
KEEL CANAL MINED
Considerable mine-laying has
taken place in the Kiel Canal de-
spite powerful and active German
defenses. Results take some time
to show.
In September. for example, GER
tain mines were laid. Only at the
end of November was it known
that seven enemy ships. all Sc
verely damaged by mines, were
lying at one end of the canal.
Repeated mining Of the Kiel
Canal has seriously embarrassed
the movements of enemy naval and
mercantile craft.
Mines from the air are a new
weapon. For some time they were

In Raj Sees
Nazi Defeat
BY FRED STRONG


ST. CHARLES, Mimi, March
10. - The fighting pilots of the
Royal Air Force are sure they can
win this war now that speedy
American planes are being sent
to England in increasing numbers,
Arthur (Texas Shortly Donahue
declared today.
Donahue knows what the men
OF the Raj think. He has served
with the Raj and is the first
American credited with shooting
down a NaZi plane.
He returned to his home town
today on leave but within "a week
or. two he expects TO go back to
England to fight once more.
MODEST ABOUT REPORTS
Donahue. who was shot down In
a scrap with three Heinkel fight
ers August II, modestly denies any
personal heroism in his dogfights,
"Yes, 1 know the story said I
was the first American TO shoot
down a German invader" he
said, laughingly. "but officially
I'm not credited with any vic
tories. 1 remember the day
they're talking about. There was
a scrap all right, but 1 don't
recall having knocked any Of
them down."
The 27-year-old flier also exc
pressed a desire to avoid the COLI
orful nickname, Texas Shorty"
"My nickname: Why that's
just newspaper creation. Tho
boys mostly call me Art" he
said.
DISTURBED BY FUSS
He was grinning as he stepped
off the train and found all st.
Charles out to greet him. Dis
turbed by "all the fuss" Donahue
gave his father a hug. planted a
loud kiss on his mothers eager
face and said:

lighted with kerosene lamps, he
sat down to tell all about it. His
parents, his sisters. Ora and

folk lowered around as he ate
breakfast of oatmeal, ham and
eggs and coffee.
SCOTS AT NAZI CLAIM
The discussion turned to serious
thlngs-German claims for superb
ority of their fighting planes.
Donahue laughed:
"Well, II the planes the Ger
mans are flying are better, then
there's something wrong with
the German filters.
THE British have been out
numbered from the start. and
II the Nazis were as good a.
they claimed. the war would
have been over long ago"
He expressed the opinion OF
himself and his comrades in arms
when he hailed the passage of the
lend-lease bill as all Britain needs
for victory.
Asked if there have been any
German invasion attempts since
Dunkerque. Dona.lue said he was
not at liberty to state. but added:
England cannot be success
fully invaded by sea. I wish the
Nazis would try it."

THE PINCH STARTS

Within two days after the de-
claration of the emergency we be-
gan to hear talk about restricted
use of gasoline, steel and other
items. Stay-at-home Sundays to
save gas and rubber, less fried
eggs and bacon to save skillets
and eventually meatless days to
save beef. All these and more
may be in the cards.
We still remember some of the
restrictions of the first World
War. Most of the people accept
ed them in good spirit. Some
grumbled all the way. Much that
was asked of US then was unnec-
cessary. There was more than
enough of sugar and bread in
the first World War. But we were
not allowed to know 1t. But the
restriction or limit placed on such
things didn't hurt anyone.
The whole program will be good
for us. 1t will be good for us to
know that we CAN live without
some things-something most
Americans have not believed. We
have, rather, travelled along On the
idea that anything we wanted we
could have, and must have, and
anyone who tried to interfere was
getting in the way of our rights.
Well, our rights" are on the
shelf now. The pinch is in pro-
cess. And it will grow bigger as
time moves on.

UNLIMITED EMERGENCY
by TEX HANCOCK

ONLiM ED EMERGENCY
Last week the President, declar-
ing that "an unlimited emergency"
existed, called upon capital and la
Dor and civilians to cooperate in
every way possible to meet 1t.
The unlimited emergency"
seems to be several things: Hit
Ter, the freedom of the seas. the
saving of democracy, the defense
OF the United States and our
southern neighbors.
Now that the unlimited emer-
gency has been declared the ma
tlon must insist that while it ex-
lists our President give a perfor-
nance of leadership that will
match it. After such a strong and
direct declaration of an emergen-
cy any other kind of leadership
will do more to weaken our cause
than anything else. While the
emergency lasts we should expect
a sort of iron hand dictatorial
leadership that will start in, not
asking capital and labor to get to-
gether, but telling them they are
getting together cor else" If this
is done there is no question as to
the cooperation on the part of the
balance of the civilian population.
