IN MARSHALLS RAID

The ship started active battle
in the raid on the Marshall Is
lands. and Burchs story Of the
airplane attacks painted stirring
picture of the Yorktown'S part ir
the war.
"In the raid on the Marshalls,"
said Burch, 1--WE were assigned
to the southern group Of islands.
The division I swas with went to
Maxim. We had a little bad
weather but found IL clear at
Maxim. There was a seaplane
tender there and two four-mo-
tored bombers sitting on the
water.
1--WE met quite a bit Of anti
aircraft fire but IL was miles of.
Our first attack was made on
the seaplane tender. 1t had
planes aboard. We couldn't tell
how many.
Luckily I got a hit which
made a mess of her deck. We
noticed that the bomb gave of
n tremendous high yellow flame.
The bomb set the ship on fire.
The other eight bombs were
close misses, The ship took
list astern.
"After that we turned lmme-
dlately and jumped the four
motored bombers and sank them.
I started TO approach one and
continuously sprayed him. When
I hit 1000 feet, II exploded. The

In announcing the executions,

weeks OF comparative calm.
The Germans announced that,
starting at 3 p. m. Sunday. all

Home Rule Vote

WAYNE COUNTY'S hope of recognizing its govern
w ment to fit modern needs rests with the voters
OF all Michigan.
The petitions have been fled-310,00O of them
forcing vote next November the proposed Con-
stutiona Amendment giving the people here the right to
form the kind of government they want.
But because this fundamental step is necessary the
voter in such remote communities Muskegon Oscoda
and Marquette will have equal power with local taxpayers
to rule upon this question.
The next STEP therefore, must be clear explanation
TO the rural voters that this proposition affects only
Wayne County-and Wayne County wants to rid itself of
a government originally designed for population of
$4,000, and not for of more than the present
100000 urban-mnded citizens.
1t must be explained, too to the voters here and
outstate that the proposed amendment is merely per-
missve. BY its adoption Wayne wins only the right to
draft charter form of government WHICH WILL NOT
BECOME EFFECTIVE UNTIL APPROVED BY THE
VOTERS OF THIS COUNTY AT A SUBSEQUENT
ELECTION.
IN SEEKING support of the proposed Constitutional
1 Amendment, Wayne is asking only slight favor in
return for its generous tax contributions to the support
of rural schools and institutions.
The danger is that the many thousands OF county
and township ofceholders will attempt to msead the
public fearing that ultimately the Detroit demand for
home rule will spread to other counties
Whether other counties need is purely local ques
ton. This amendment applies ONLY TO WAYNE
1t may not be perfect document. But it certainly
is step toward a better and efficient form of
government than have had And it is possible that
defects will be remeded by charter commission to be
elected by Wayne County voters.

Maj Spies Should Die

A TTORNEY GENERAL BIDDLE, in speaking of the
fate of the eight Nazi saboteurs landed here from
submarine and apprehended by the FB said THAT there
number of complicatng legal factors involved"
Nothing seems clearer than the FACT that six of
these guilty of spying and that two American
citizens among them guilty of treason to the country
to which they swore to be loyal.
They here, besides, for the deliberate purpose
of murder and dynamtng great public utilities and
to organize a.ring designed take-Amer1ca- from
within" Hitler has expressed it.
The penalty for treason and spying is death
This is not question of vengeance.
THE LETTER.
1t matter of protecting the lives and property of
our citizens
would be sign of national weakness
A NYTHINC less than the death penalty for those six
"A German spies and two nauralzed American traitors
would stamp "softies
To be soft in the presence of the enemy when the
life of the United States is at stake nearly crime
against the people
Anything less than execution for these invaders
and destroyers would tend to lower the morale of
armed forces
While our men die to preserve the United States,
shall let those live who here for the DELHI
crate purpose of destroying it?
The question answers itself.
AS Chairman Vinson of the House naval affairs
mittee says
These ought to be shot since they clearly
spies"
In the Senate, Senator Ellender of Louisiana
Der of the naval affairs committee also gave voice to the
overwhelming jory of the people of this country when
he said
We're too soft in this country. All eight should be
executed"
This is time for red tape delicate points
of law.
Let the law be executed-and the two traitors and
six spies also -
And let it be done IMMEDIATELY.

THE war has raised good
l. many newspaper and maya
zine advertisements to the level
of literature.
Literature is marking a new
low in books. Writing is gener-
ally sloppy and slapdash, and
who now cares for the creative
metaphor unless it is odoriferous
of the night clubs?
The real genius of originality
has gone into the writing of ads.
Take this advertisement. for

committee of the waste paper
consuming industries of Amer
lea:
"Is there a bomb I'm your base
ment: Is there n machine gun

That is the caption of an invi-
tation to you and me to turn in

And while we are on the sub
