Flag Nipples At
 Lonely R. R. Crossing
Rail Notor Travellers Moved By Spirit of Gate.Tender
 Who Flies Flag Proudly

Gary. Ind, (UP)-Where twt railroads cross U. S.. Route 12, or the edge of the lonely Indiana dunelands, 8 kindly, -hairee man has added new meaning tc the word patriot" and e refresh. ing glimpse of simple Americanisr to passing travellers.
 Henry Humphrey is the watch. man at the crossing.
 From a crude mast outside the watchman's shanty flutters an American flag. Between his job of raising and lowering the crossing gates, Henry Humphrey has time to read the papers and he has &C., quired a better than average under standing of world conditions and just what sort of emergency 1t is that his country faces.
 Then Humphrey read about the nationwide preparations for "1 Am An American Day"
 He cut down a l6-foet sapling stripped the bark and rigged a lanyard to 1t with Q length of sashcord, and crested the mast out side his shanty.
 Since then he holds a flag-rais- ing all his own every morning. The flag Is one he bought 23 years ago to celebrate the end of the World War at Frankfort, Ill. It was wrinkled and musty when he dug 1t out of It's moth balls, but 1t will never get that way again, he said.
 Everyone = householderS and business men alike = should be proud to fly their country's flag in

City To Purchase 22
 Two-Way Radio Sets
Experiments Conducted Yesterday Highly Successful;
 Communication Possible During Emergency

Tests of two-way, high freuuency radio sets for emergency use proved so successful yesterday afternoon that today plans were being made for the purchase of g or more oi the sets. They will be installed at St. Mary's and Waterbury hospitals at IT mobilization points about the city, at the Waterbury Medical as- sociation building and in other To- cations as needed. The sets will be paid for out of the $30.000 appro- priated in this years city budget for defense.
 Heads of the medical defense committee were enthusiastic over the possibilities of use of radio in an emergency after watching the demonstration yesterday. The equipment will allow immediate communication from a central headquarters to all district mobili- zation points as well as communica- ton between one defense station and another. Messages could be transmitted even if electric and tel ephone service should fail.
 Tn the test, one set was at the city hall and the other at St. Mary's hospital. pr. Edward J. Godfrey and Alfred Winchell, radio engineer were at the hospital while Mayor Vincent A. Scully, Dr. J. Harold Root and Engineer Frank Hales were at the city hall. Reception was excellent.
 Later, test transmission was made between the city hall and the medical association building, and again reception was excellent.
 The sets will operate on an ultra high frequency, beyond the range of even regular short wave sets, thus

times like these," Humphrey de- clared.
 "As for those who act as If they are ashamed of Old Glory, and all 1t means to us who live under 1t, they ought to get out and stay out, Big as America is, there's no room for them herep
 Humphrey is 53 years old, of Irish descent, and came to Gary from Pawnee, III. Childless, he and his wife has reared two boys adopted from an orphanage in Illinois.
 Humphreys flag, seen daily by hundreds passing on the highway and dailroads, has caused much comment, and admiration. Once an army officer, seated on the ob- servation platform of Q passing train, rose to his feet as he saw the flag, flicked away his cigaret, and stood at attention until the train disappeared in the distance.

Bolivian Government for sending an American air mission to train the Bolivian air force.
 Importance of this move Is that 1t means a shift from German mi- litary infleunce to U. s. influence. For twenty years, from 1910 until the outbreak of the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, the Bolivian Army had been trained by @ German military mission.
 Head of the mission was General Hans Kundt, who was paid the munificent salary of ei0,000 & month, the largest salary received by any military man anywhere. General Douglas MacArthur, head of the Philippine Army, Is now the highest paid, getting 8 reputed s26,000 annually0
 The American officers in Boli- via will receive their present pay, plus slight increase to compen. sate them for living abroad. BIG HOUSING PACT
 It's being kept under cover, pending approval by the Pres ident, but & master labor agree ment, designed to speed up con- struction of vital defense hous- ing. has been reached between AFL leaders and government housing heads. Affecting con- struction workers all over the country, the agreement contains three major clauses:
 (1) Uniform me-and-a-half pay for overtime for all build ing trades wOrkmen employed on army cant0nments and defense housing projects; (2) 8 ban on jurisdictional strikes: (3) pay- ment of prevailing wage scales.
 The pact was worked out at & series of conferences between John Coyne, able chief of the AFL building trades department, which. represents virtually all organized building workers in the country; Defense Housing Coordinator Charles P. Palmer; private con- tractors; and War and Navy off, cials.
 Next to the ban on jurisdiction al strikes, the most significant feature is the tlme-and-a-half overtime provisions. This was az reed upon only after some sharp clashes between contractors and union spokesmen.
 Coyne finally accepted the pay ceiling when the contractors as- serted that the double overtime demanded by the union would put them out of business. The rush pressure on defense projects nee. esssitates so much overtime they contended, that construction costs would be prohlbitive.

VOICE PROTESTS AGAINST RUSSIA
Mothers of American Sons Fear Spread of COnl-
 nlunism in World

Several local organizations have followed the example of Mothers of American Sons In forwarding protests to Connecticut's repre- sentatives in Congress against America lending aid to Goddess and Bloody Russia. It is expected that another resolution will be adopted next Friday evening at the big mass meeting arranged by America First Committee at Washington Park.
 A copy of the telegram sent to the nations chief executive fol- lows:
 "The Mothers of America has tonight adopted the following Tes- olution: The mothers of Ameri- can sons, a chapter connected with 1000 members, tonight went on record to oppose any aid to Com-
 nunistic, Goddess and bloody Russia. The members of our ore ganization, who are all mothers, feel that should Russia win this war, Communism will be spread over all the world. If Germany wins, Nazisn will be spread over the world. We are more con- vinced than ever that present for- eign wars are not ours. We ask you, MT. President, to keep your pledge to those who believed you and voted for you third time to keep your many promises that you would not send our sons to die on foreign soils"

 BACK TO
 THE CATACOMBS
 From Poland comes a more sor- rowful report. Refugees reaching Lisbon have reported that In some parts of Nazi-oc- cupied Poland where the Sacrifice of the Mass is forbidden the Church has been forced un- derground to carry on as 1t did in the catacombs of the first centur- les. Fugitive priests gather their fiocks in basements and even in caves and there in the dead quiet immediately after midnight they offer Holy Mass. Many times de- spoiled of their sacred vessels 1t is only crude imitation vessels that are used to offer the Eternal Gift. Today in Poland a magnificent page of Christian history is being written by the devotion of priest to their people, Hundreds of priests have been killed, thou sands sent to concentration camps. The few that have been allowed to remain are looked up- on as the only leaders of the peo- pie. Even in the dreaded ghetto areas they have been able to aid the perescuted Jews with food, clothing, and medicine, and often hunted Jews find sanctuary with the priest.
 Perhaps the greatest tragedy of the war has been the fate of Catholic Poland. For the fourth time in her history she has been dismemhered. Set upon by the wolves of Nazidom she resisted in an heroic but hopelessly futile struggle. Wounded unto death she became the victim of the cowardly scavanRer wolves who slunk out of Moscow to assist in tearing her limb from limb when she was postrate and helpless. To- day Catholic Poland has again been trampled of the map of Eu- rope.
 The tragedy of Poland is the tragedy of faith and culture. Catholic to the core she was a cleaning outpost of Christian civilization in the encircling gloom of Naziism and Commun- ism. For Faith and Fatherland" has been the motto of Poland throughout history. For & thou- sand years she has had to fight in defense of the faith and the Fatherland Today the wolves may howl in triumph over the gruesome work of their destruc- tion but their fangs have not touched the soul that was the in- spiration of a great people. The future holds the day when Poland will again arise a living nation.

Washington Merry-Go
Continued from Preceding Page)

However, this change in the
 Presidents mode of operation is
 not as important as the change
 which gradually has crept over
 his general outlook. On the
 surface, and in press conference,
 he Is the same old wise cracking,
 fun-ioving Roosevelt. But un-
 derncath and In private he is
 not.
 No longer does he have the same zest for what he Is doing. In the old days when he was build ing PWA bridges and WpA schoolhouses, writing labor laws, crusading for social security, fighting the big utilities, he loved every minute of 1t. He was build. ing up, crusading for human needs and human rights. And his enthusiasm was boundless.
 NO WAR ENTHUSIASM
 Now, however, he knows that every step he takes in foreign po- Hey, every dollar he spends for the Navy, every man he inducts into the Army, may be a step toward tearing down rather than build ing up. He believes the steps he is taking are absolutely necessary. But he has no enthusiasm for them. Tn other words, he has no enthusiasm for war.
 Most of the men around Roose- welt believe that war is inevitable, and 1t may be that he does, too though he has not admitted that publicly. But judging by his hanging back in opposition to his more vigorous military foreign po- Hey advisers, the President hates and dreads the idea of this na- tion going into war.
 He hates the reactions and
 aftermaths of war, and he hates the idea of having history rec-
 ord him as War President.
 At the same time he believes that this country will have to move fast. and if It does not move now 1t may be too late. For the best definition of an isolationist, Roosevelt firmly believes, is one why by procrastination wants to see his women and children in the thick of the fighting here at home.
 Probably the best expression of Roosevelt's dread reluctance to- ward the idea of war was a con- vergati0n hA had with the Cx4ia. temalan Minister after the fire. side chat of May 27. Minister Recinos had known Roosevelt as the young Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and when he recalled those days. he got a significant observation from the President,
 In these days Roosevelt used to be impatient with Woodrow Wll- son because he did not bring the fleet into the Atlantic in order to be prepared for eventualltles with Germany. Wilson opposed this because 1t might lead to war. and young Roosevelt felt very strongly that Wilson was wrong.
