My Dear Sir:
A SPLENDID tribute to our
~ sailormen was Benjamin
- - Decasseres' "A Salute to
the Navy" in today's Examiner
but why the omission In the list
of our glorious sea heroes of the
name of the father OF the Ameri-
can nav. Commodore Jo h n
Barry:
From his early youth to the
close OF his eventful, patriotic ca
reer Barry was one of the fore
most Americans of Revolutionary
days. A close, personal friend Of
Washington he was rs successful
on the high ssas In his encounters
with the British as was the Father
OF His JCss0fry in his engage
ments with the troops Of George
the Third.
We hear much Of John Paul
Jones. Unlike Barry he didn't stay
with America but left her for
other and more congenial sur
roundings.
As far as the great naval
achievements of Barry are con-
cerned there appears TO be a con-
spiracy of silence on the part of
our so-called American historians.
Here Is a brief but interesting
summary of the father of the
American navy's exploits as mar
rated by Ripley In his Believe
1t or Not column:
John Barry U739-1803),
father of the American
navy, was the

Since the critical materials"

not only raw materials such as
steel and copper. but manufac-
tured products such as trucks,
machines, cloth and paper, defense
officials freely admitted that this
was national planning plus"
They pointed out that once de-
tense officials had determined what
the civilian and military needs
were, they not only would allot
critical materials TO the particular
industries needing them. but would
determine how. when and by whom
they would be provided.

Still other squadrons hammered
the docks of Boulogne on the
German-occupied French coast,
and enemy waters were mined

None of the missing planes
crashed in England.
The toll of 81 planes was the
heaviest loss yet suffered by
either Britain or Germany in a

My Dear Mr.. Hearst:
r AM writing you about the
plight of the Nisei In our
country.
They are Japanese-Americans,
the second generation who were
born here and who are American
citizens.
They have been educated In
American public schools. They
speak English.
Their ways of thinking and be-
having are American ways.
They want to be accepted into
American life. but they are In a
dilemma.
They look like Japanese and
foreigners, hut they want a chance
10 show their loyalty and their
patriotism TO the United States.
Those who have been to college
want jobs worthy of their educa-
ton, hut they find most doors
closed TO them and that they must
seek work that an eighth grade
graduate could perform.
They do not want to go back "a
Japan, in fact, II they did they
would not be rrceixed well. for
! their American ways of thinking
would turn the japanese against
them.
