MULTIPLYING DEFENSE BOND
SALES

Patriotic actions of Sidney Hollaender, New York
business have put him in the twice during the
last year.
The first time Mr.. .Holaender in the news was
when he distributed to millions of school children through
out America American Credo which in less than 100
words said what dozens of speakers have hours
trying to say about the virtues of living in this country
Last week Mr.. Hollaender was in the again for
giving dollars and backing to his expressions of
love for his country Mr. Hoaender announced that his
company would pay 20 per cent of the cost of United
States Savings Bonds purchased by any of his employees
and would help them finance the cost of the other 80
per cent
Mr. Holaender could have just purchased Defense
Bonds himself and let his contribution to defense end
there. But instead, he worked out way to make every
dollar he spent bring hundreds of additional dollars to
the government.
1t important that all of us buy defense bonds and
stamps-but it is also important that do Mr. Hol-
laender did and think ways to stimulate others buy
them To get the defense savings plan rolling, all of
should act statesmen we'll buyers of stamps and
bonds.

of peace that must be made and
the basis of that peace is religion.
They each rule out of the picture
any peace made by a bunch of
bungling statesmen because these
fellows, see, usually, only to the
ends of their noses.
One of these men is so bold as
to suggest a United States of the
World. We have a United States
of American that has served all
the people very we'll. We have
long talked about a United States
of Europe. But there are still
other nations and peoples who
are mixed up in our worlds life
and these must receive considera.
ton. A peace that considers the
top crust and ignores the bottom
crust will possess the makings of
another war.
We have come to the place
where we must think in world
terms. In order that our world
may survive the question is not
whether my nation shall live but
whether we are willing go enter
into a program so that all nations
and people may live. If you think
this sounds silly look at the mess

PHOENIX, May 23-A haze of
uncertainty hovers over the likeli-
hood of a special session of the
18th legislature. The governors
differentiation is evident, judg-
ing from statements of business
and political leaders with whom
he has discussed the possibility Of
an extra call.
While the governors public
statements and some of his be-
hind the scenes activities indicate
he is moving in the direction of a
special session, some off-the-rec-
ord talks suggest otherwise.
1t was learned this week on
excellent authority that the chief
executive recently asked a widely
known legislator to visit Phoenix
"and assist me in preparations for
a special session" The solon is
said to have advised the governor
that the press of personal bust
ness prevented such cooperation.
Another indication that the gov
ernor still plans a special session
is the fact his pet power bill is
being re-drafted. The bill was
being written by an attorney with
offices on Central avenue, as this
column recently revealed. Due to
disagreement between the gov
ernor and the lawyer, this column
learns. the lawyer carried the
measure to the executive offices
at the capitol and told the chief
executive he was not in accord"
with certain ideas the governor in
sisted on incorporating in the bill.
The measure is now being whip
ped into final form, including the
governors views, on the third
floor of the capitol, this column
was told.
Although these activities all
point to the contemplated issu-
ance of a special session sum-
mons, statements of the governor
to a few select visitors at the ex-
ecutive offices indicate otherwise.
For example: the chief execu-
tive within the week reputedly
told some callers that he guess

REAL INCOME BETTER

Ig you keeping up with the Jonses-that is Mr.

real income today than any time during your
life.
To many people this may not be particularly notice

the farmers who getting for their produce and
the defense workers who working overtime for Uncle
Sam all pooled their weekly income they'd be able to buy
more things than at any time on record
Increased income is largely responsible for this, but
another major contributing factor that prices of goods
have not increased in proportion to the rise in income
This may only be temporary condition, for prices

THE TEST


The real test of what a man is
can best be determined on the
basis of his conduct in a crisis or
an emergency. When these come,
if you can keep your head and do
the thing that needs to be done
1t is good sign that the real
stuff is in you.
We had a good illustration of
this last week in the daring rescue
Of a parachuter whose parachute
had caught on a cable line of an
army plane at San Diego.
1t. Walter Osipoff was dangling
headfirst in midair, his parachute
having become fowled in the cable.
1t. w. w. Lowrey and J. B. Nc
Cants, acting without orders, jump
ed into their hell diver" and flew
to the rescue. Lowery held his
plane steady within 20 feet of
the larger plane while McCant
yanked the dangling Marine into
the cockpit. Then Lowery edged
his craft to within two feet of the
other plane while his propeller
slashed the shrouds of the para
chute and freed Osipoff from his
predicament.
There were hundreds of other
flyers who saw the dangling body
Of Osipoff as the bomber flew over
the North Island Naval Station.
These two men saw, came to a
decision, and acted-NOW! They
violated orders, they took a long
chance, but they did the one thing
that MIGHT save a life-and it
worked.
That is the real test-when all
others are dumb, paralyzed, frozen
to a spot thru an unexpected
something-to remain in control
of ones senses and to act.
The test doesn't always come in
such a spectacular manner but the
same stuff is always present.
and the cheers are always forth.

RUDOLPH HESS
You might say that volumes
have already been written about
the Hess flight from Germany to
England. All sorts of specula
tions and reasons have been ex'
pressed. Daily we have been told
why Hess left Germany. Inside
stories have been written.
This much we can depend on
whatever is back of the Hess
flight, the British government isn't
going to let he real facts out to

cited as potent recommendation
for any post he may seek.
1t is pointed out that the state
law sets up no special qualifica-
tiOns for a state superintendent
of public instruction. Most tax
payers are of the opinion the Of
flee needs a business administra-
tor more than an educator.
The report was whispered this
week that Governor Osborn would
be willing to include re-establish-
ment of an appropriation for the
Arizona Mineral Resources board
in a call for a special session pro-
viding Charles F. Willis, the
boards chairman, will resign.
Small mine operators were
quick to assert that the governor
has caused several thousand
little fellows" to suffer because
of his political animosity toward
Mr.. Willis, who shares with S. H.
Morris, chairman of the Arizona
Copper Tariff board, the reputa-
tion of being among the top rank
ing men In the nation on matters
pertaining to the needs of the cop
per industry.
Only this week, Mr. Willis took
sharp issue with the statement of
E. T. Stannard, president of Ken
necott Copper corporation, that
an increase of two cents a pound
in the price of copper probably
would not add more than 1000
tons a month to the total u. 8.
production"
Mr.. Willis asserted that such an
Increase would be sufficient to
permit an increased production of
1900 tons of copper monthly by
one Arizona copper mine" and
that there are many others that
could produce substantial quanti-
ties. Another Arizona
mine now idle could put 800 men
to work and make a substantial
contribution, while still another
could run on 500-tons day bas-

THINGS EASY TO DO
1t is easy to appeal to France to
stand against delivering herself up
to a Germany bent on "the utter
destruction of liberty" and easy
to appeal to a Yugoslavia to stand
firm, that we are back of her
But talking from long-distance
isn't much encouragement when
the talk isn't backed up by some
substantial action.
Yogoslavia had our moral" sup
port but it didn't stop Germany.
And our moral support minus
any material backing was possibly
responsible for the loss of thous-
ands of lives and the destruction
of several cities.
We believe that France is not
any more in love with the Nazi
idea of things than we are but
France is in a position where she
hasn't any choice. She could re-
sist German pressure but she can
not escape the results.
We suggest that until We are
ready to go the rescue of these
unfortunate people that we keep
our mouths shut about what they
should or should not do.
IN YOUR OWN WORDS
Say it in your own words. A
German farmer lost a horse and
wanted to advertise for it. The
editor of the paper asked him
what he wanted to say.

WHAT KIND OF PEACE?
An increasing mum b er OF
thoughtful people are realizing
that it is already time to begin
thinking of what sort of peace
shall be made when the war is
over. Because on the kind of

We know, too, that following
this war our civilization cannot
survive if it must be maintained
by an enormous military program
that will eat into the earnings OF
our citizens SO deeply that the
burden will sink us.

to a recess from war. The threat
