LESSON ONE

The thunder of airplane engines
resounds over Detroit nearly each
day and night.
Those warplane engines heard
here are towering army ships
from nearby Selfridge Field or
navy training ships from the
Crosse lie naval base. Occasionally
is heard the mighty roar oil
bomber engines from the ships OF
the ferrying command.
We hear them more often these
DAYS because Uncle Sans wal
birds are preparing to protect us
from a relentless aggressor, whose
aircraft may strike us at any
time.
so YOU MAY KNOW
In order that you may identify
these planes and tell them from
enemy planes at a glance, The De-
troit Times will present for the
Junior Victory Army a series Of
pictures and Identification sill
houettes of military aircraft Of the
|embattled nations.
Tomorrow, the Times will pub
Ilish diagrams showing the genera
identification points Of modern
fighting and bombing airplanes-
that is, the points which give an.
model its individuality.
Drawings will show basic typ
wings, stabilizers, fuselages, motto
mountings, rudders and elevator:

HOWS THIS FOR
MORALE AT HOME2

Battan fell
British suffered a severe naval setback
IN the Indian Ocean.
Most of the news was black.
So
Army and Navy recruiting stations
throughout the United States redoubled
their business among Americans, in all
age brackets, asking for a chance to get
into the scrap.
AS long as America reacts that way to
bad news from the war fronts. the Off
cial worriers in Washington can pack
flock of mothballs around that particu-
lar worry dealing with the country's
morale. It's all right. It's fighting NOR
ale-the kind that wins wars Specifical-
ly, it's the kind that will win this parti-
cular war.
It's not only in the recruiting stations
that Americans have reacted to the news
of Bataan Probably there isn't a factory
in the country in which a majority of the
workers haven't taken a tighter grip on
the monkey wrenches they intend to
throw into the Hirohito- Hitler machn-
cry. Everywhere, dispatches tell of the
same reaction.
Well show 'em,''
That's the thing the Axis warlords will
never be able to understand. They can't
tell their own people bad news, without
dressing it up in propaganda clothing
They operate on the theory that bad news
makes people fold up and quit trying.
They don't know the Anglo-Saxon tenn
permanent. They ought to, if they've ever
studied history books They're up against
an enemy who fights hardest when things
look blacklist. Possibly it is because this
rule does not apply to themselves that
they cannot imagine it applying to any
one else. We' shall know soon, in any
event, for there is bad news building up
for the Axis.
The more bad news they make for us
now. tho blacker will be the news they
get back in the future-and not-very-
far distant future, either
With few more items of news such as
came out of Bataan last Thursday, every
man, woman and child in America will
be clamoring for a rifle-or building one

WASHINGTON, April II CUP) -
japanese forces are SWarming onto

CUR 'COORDINATORS'

So far, apparently, there has been no
action on the part of the federal govern
ment to take up the offer of the Pasadena
man who requested that he be made
National Stud Poker Coordinator" un-
der the Office of Civilian Defense, divi
sion of physical fitness.
Apparently there is nothing else being
done about dropping out any of the 610
main coordinatorS for the nine regional
districts including National Weight-lift-
ing coordinator the National Code Ball
coordinator, the National Billiards coor-
dinator and the National Canoeing coor-
dinator
1t isn't so disturbing that John NJ. Will

Bowling coordinators along with being
an executive in an advertising agency
that handles the advertising account of
the Brunswick k-Balke-Collender company
which Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D., Va, says
he is informed has a virtual monopoly
on the manufacture of bowling balls,
bowling alleys and pins.
The disturbing thing is that the Amer
lean people have been so drugged by New
Deal Sedatives in the form of boondog-
Cling that there is nothing done about a
program as obviously silly as this physi-
cal fitness program under the OCD..
A writer in a Los Angeles daily paper
commenting bitterly on the ''coordinator'
program asks what can be the matter
with our government, anyway" that such
travesties ON government management
are permitted.
A more fitting question would be to
ask what is the matter with the Ameri-
can people that they tolerate such things
from their governments

INFORMATION, SO-CALLED

Information is one thing, propaganda
another, but our federal administration
evidently has not yet realized that fact
Or else it doesn't want others to realize
it.
DR.. Leo c. Rosten. chief of the motion
picture division, Office of Facts and Fig
ures (the New Deal propaganda office,
Friday asked the motion picture industry
to transform ITSELF from a medium of
total entertainment" to one of partial
information The public, he explained
blandly, is demanding a certain amount
of information, and "the obligation of
the film makers is to furnish it"
Evidently neither the newspapers nor
the radio has been giving out the kind of
information DR.. Rosten and his su-
periors have in mind. Information"
that is, presenting the picture just exact
ly as the administration wants it pre-
sented
We've seen some of the information"
sent out from government offices-Our
wastebasket is filled with it every day
and we can testify truthfully that fully
rs per cent of it is an effort to glorify
some bureau, agency or individual in the
administration The government has
more press agents today than it has civil
ian defense "coOrdinators, and that is
more than enough.
And now they want to move in on the
motion picture industry. AS for us, we
still want to get what we pay for when
we go to a show.

Navy Announces
Submarine Lost

WASHINGTON, April II. CUP)-
The six year old U. S. submarine
Perch has been overdue for more
than a month and is presumed to
have been lost in Java waters, the
Navy announced today.
The Perch was last known to be
operating in the Java sea. Next
of kin have been notified.
The Perch normally carried a
complement of so officers and men,
but the Navy communique did not
say how many were aboard on its
last voyage.
The submarines commander was
Lieut.. Cmdr. David Albert Hurt, of
Pounding Mill, Va.
This was the fourth submarine
lost by the Navy since the outbreak
of war. 1t was the 29th naval vessel
lost through enemy action and nom
combatant causes in this war.
