WITH A U. S. TASK FORCE IN
ALEUTTAN WATERS. Aug. II De-
layed Our admiral ordered us to
turn back into the Kiska fogbank,
for one more try at what had begun
to seem the hopeless proposition of
getting enough of a look at the
Japs to shoot at them, and the men
Of these ships cheered him for a
stubborn and relentless seadog.
The admiral, however, refuses to
take credit. He says the praise
belongs to lowly SOC pilot from
his own flagship.
1t was this pilot, we now discover,
who first observed that the fog
bank was beginning to lift along
the whole lee shore of Kiska, from
Vega Point to South Head. On his
own initiative, he broke radio ST.
lence and flashed back word to our
ships. On the basis of this informa- :
ton, as interpreted by the admiral,
the ships which a few minutes
earlier had run up to within three
miles OF the beach without finding
hole, went back to try their luck
again.
Thus the successful surface ship
action. in which months of Jap
effort may have been undone, con-
siderable shipping damaged or sunk,
and shore installations fIattened,
turns out to have relied for its ulti-
mate success on the humblest air.

PARISH IS MADE
COURT AIDE BY
Commissioner

One OF the first appointments Of
Judge Sempliner to his staff is On
slow R. Parish the popular presi-
dent Of the Twelve Horsemen club.
president Of Appomaitox club. and
a member Of the Phi Kappa Cana
fraternity.
Mr.. Parish's appointment by
Judge Sempliner carries out the
promise made by Judge Sempliner
during his campaign a year ago
and stamps him as one Of the few
men in public life who have con-
sistently advocated measures deal
ing with our welfare and lived up
to his promise to support them. 1,
was Judge Sempliners contention
during that time that as the work
OF the Circuit Court Commissioners
deals largely with eviction Of ten
ants for non-payment of rent, it is
Of primary concern to the Negro
race and they should have adequate
representation upon the Circuit
Court Commissioners staff to look
after their interests. Mr. Parish
Will adequately be able to take care
Of this for us with his long ex-
perienct in public life, his employ
ment in the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission, his leader
ship in Negro affairs dealing not
only with social funclidns-- with
our charities and welfare, he has .
thorough grasp on all civic prob
lens
Mr.. Parish was nominated for this
position by many OF our prominent
Detroiters, including Mayor Jeffries.
Clifton Russian. Arthur Bauman,
Snow Grigsby, Dr.. McClendon.
Peter Casey Senator Charles Digs.
Charles H. Mahoney, Rev Charles
A. Hill. Rev. j. Bruce, and many
others.
It will be remembered that Judge
Sempliner has long been a friend
of the colored people, having advo-
Gated the creation of Negro Regi-
ment in the Michigan National
Guard fought for equal employ
ment Of Negroes on Defense prof.
ects, which has finally been accom-
pished through his cooperation,
and many other beneficial projects
for our group.
We certainly appreciate Judge
Sempliner's recognition Of our PROB
lens, and applaud his ability not
only to look after our interests, but
in remembering his promise TO US.

analysed. Their ages ranged from
2 TO Is years, with So Per cent De-

It was found that children from
non-relief families were no less in
need o. medical and dental care
than those from relief levels. Va
riations between the different in
come levels with respect to incl
dence and type Of care needed, were
small
The examining physicians discov-
cred four facts Of great Importance.
First, so per cent Of all the children
were in need Of medical care.
Secon So per cent were in need
of dntal care.
Third, q per cent had not been
vaccina.ed against smallpox
Fourth, "a per cent had not been
immunized against diphtheria.
What is true in Chicago, is un-
questionably true to practically the
same degree in the country at large.

Of our children are growing up in
relatively poor physical condition,
