Straight From
Washington
BY STEPHEN Nj. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio

Washington. - American inventive
genius has provided an Electrical
sentry" That this device which is a
new secret weapon for defense, par
ticularly effective against night bomb
ers, has been given to Britain for use,
probably accounts for the Ineffective
ness of recent enemy raids over Eng
land. This electrical sentry" is said
to disclose the presence of enemy air
craft long before they are actually
sighted. Details of this new invention
have been closely guarded. Army Of
ficials are seeking young men trained
in electrical engineering or physics |
for commissioned officers in this par
ticular branch of the Signal Corps OF
the Army Unmarried men 2l to 36
who meet the requirements are re-
quested to make inquiry at the War
Department.
Budget Balancing
Were it not for the tremendous cost
of preparedness against Hitler the
Federal budget would be more than
balanced Increased taxes provide
more than enough revenue to meet the
normal expense of your Government.
Bibles
Our Army has established what
may be termed morale department.
The Army chaplains and others in
charge Of this section of the Army
are extremely busy officers these
days. 1t is'a part Of their important
duties to see that enlisted men are
kept contented and happy. More than
million pocket Testaments are be-
ing printed for use in the Army and
Navy There will be three types
one for each of the three major re-
ligious groups.
Hitler's Time Table
Russian resistance is upsetting all
forecasts. Hitler's time table has been
ruined, his best panzer divisions have
suffered appalling losses and the en-
tire outlook Of the war is being
changed. A year ago when the Sc
lective service law was first adopted,
Russia and Germany were in prac-
tical alliance. Surely there was a
greater prospect of early United
States involvement in actual war be-
fore Hitler attacked Stain. Further
more, the prospect that Hitler would
eventually win this war was greater
then than now. The tremendous pro-
duction of America is giving Great
Britain a chance to attain air su
periority and the deep-seated idea of
German invincibility on land has been
destroyed. In another six months our
army will be thoroughly mechanical.
Peace Conference
Many people believe that the Eu-
ropean war will end within year and
that representatives of this nation
will participate in the peace confer
ence intent upon making sure that
there will not be another peace crush
ing any nation, great or small, so
that another world war will follow as
matter of course. In fact President
Roosevelt in his historic meeting with
Churchill and his momentous state
ment following that meeting took the
lead in a peace offensive. The com
mon people of the world want peace
| and our President will achieve world
leadership for this nation when he
plays part in bringing an end to
this senseless slaughter.
President Roosevelt said, ave will
not accept world like the postwar
world of the l920's in which the seeds
of Hitlerism can again be planted and
allowed to grow"
1t is the aim of this Administra-
ton, when the tide Of barbarity shall
have been rolled back, to give our
economic strength in giving help to
the millions now hungry, homeless or
in prison because Of dictatorship ag-
gression. Down -trodden peoples must
be reestablished on national lines and
each race given the right to live in
conditions Of self-respect and equality.
In the day of reconstruction the pleas
Of those who now suffer will not be
forgotten.
Lease-Lend
A Republican Congressman said,
George Washington threw a dollar
across the Rappahannock. That's
nothing. Our President has thrown
seven billion dollars across the At
lantic. The same Congressman who
made fine speeches for candidate
Willkie last October said. "lf Willllie
were to speak at Cotfeeville this sum-
mer handcar would be the only spe
cial train needed from Northeast Kan
Sas."
