but said he was for mo aid until the national safety of the United States is secure and complete" He likened that policy to his policy to- wizard the community chset-"I make that contribution after I have paid my bills and discharged my obligations to those dependent up- on me"
 This bill is a continuation of all the ills which have stripped our American national defense system of air power worthy of the name" he said. With less arbitrary and discretionary power than outlined in this bill, American air power is weakening day by day.
 What has been done to date in the weakening Of American air pow CT amounts practically to giving away an air power still on order and for which we never planned in buSinesSlike fashion," he said.
 Traced to Four Steps
 The "slow and calculated involve ment" of the United States in the war as far as air power is con- cerned can be traced to four steps, he said:
 l. The release to Europe of planes "tagged-fictitiously-as ob solete."
 ?. The release of current war plane models.
 3. The stripping" of first line planes out of active army and navy squadrons and delivering them fully equipped by flight directly to a belligerent country.
 4. Complete invasion" Of our aircraft industry with ships con- tracted for and allocated to our own army and navy air services being set aside for delivery to Flu rope.
 All these things have been done and the arbitrary actions have been explained and excused as laid to Britain" he said.
 ''The passage of this bill, or any modification of this bill, will amount to virtual suicide of the Ameri- can way of life" he said Accept ing even this suicide, I see no ad- ditional hope in this bill wherein unprecedented power, never before granted to any other American president, would provide in a short CT time, the adequate American air power so vital to the safety and preservation of this country"

body. For years he was in the in- surance business, and naturally his work carried him into many of the households of the city. He was pleasant and entertaining, and always made favorable im- pression.
 Of late years Captain Griffin had led a retired life. His close associates of past years has passed along, and like all of us, on this account, he was lonesome for their company. But they never came back anymore than have our own particular friends of by-gone years. They will never come back; once dead, we are no more, they tell us, except that some of us may find our souls either are condemned or favored with the enjoyable Heaven preachers tell us are ahead if we are good and pious.
 But again, some of US, and par ticularly The Out Easter.
 Wonders!!
 Captain Griffin lived for the good of all; he was true to his re- ligion, true to his employers, and true to his friends.
 A person like him can never be dead in the memory of old time friends, and acquaintances.
