In the United States Constitu- ton we read: Article XIII Section I "Neitller slavery nor involuntary servitude except as punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to the'r jurisdiction"
 The wrongs of slavery are the roots that prevent the, solution or our penal problems.
 To prove tll4s, examine the six characteristics of slavery:
 l. Slaves are held as interiors.
 2. Slaves labor is exploited with out adequate pay.
 2. Slave labor is exploited with responsibilities of the free.
 4. Slaves are kept in ignorance. Those slaves who show intellectual superiority are held in suspicion.
 5. Slaves are deprived of civil rights.
 6. Slave personalities and family ties are disregarded at the converl- fence of their masters.
 How can we maintain slavery as a means of justice and in the name of justice win our war against slav- cry? We scorn German total!tarian claims of superiority over other races whom they aim to enslaye. But we give almost totalitarian powers to prison wardens and sheriffs. We hold delinquents and criminals as inferior castes to be kept in slavery under duress and treated as outcasts and suspects on release. According to the COnnecti- cut Prison Association i042 Report on Vagrancy and Alcohol: "Jai sen- tences are imposed by the courts with little expectations that the sen" tence will act as a deterrent to the person committed" and under pres- ent methods the state accomplishes nothing at great cost to itself" When I questioned them not one Of- ficiaI of the jailS visited by Par nassug would admit that Q jail set- tence deters a prisoner from future crimes.
 A police captain remarked to me about Q jailed thief "He will be ct 1t again Rg soon as he gets out" 1" Public opinion seems to cherish the idea that 'The leopard cannot change his spots" This opinion contradiets the Christian teaching Of the forgiveness of sins and the value of immortal souls to their Creator.
 Delinquency and crime degrade men but the exploitation Of prlson- ers' labor Is not enough to uplift them. Connecticut c0layictg get i6 cents Q day for their labor. Jail labor gets no pay.
 Labor exploited without Rdeauate pay iB the mark of slavery, accom- panied by exemption from the re- responsibilities Of the free. The free laborer must earn his food and shelter. Our prisoners get food and shelter free. Part Of their punigh- ment is doing time in idleness or t0lling out doors or indoors wtkh- out adequate pay because the prod- lIctg Of their hands are eonsidered more valuable than the development Df their minds and the salvation Of Eheir souls.

GASOLINE CONSERVATION

We've got a big army and a big air force in Australia.
 They're getting bigger every week.
 But Australia is $500 miles away from our California ports, and a battleship on convoy duty needs 1,500,000 gallons of fuel oil to make the dangerous trip out and back.
 That oil could be distilled into gasoline enough to run 1000 cars for a full year.
 It isn't such as long walk to the movie, after all.
 Do you know what an 'interceptor plane" is?
 We have hundreds of them in the air, every hour of the day and night, guarding our coastal shipping, ready to intercept any enemy attack by sea or by air.
 They need 35 gallons of 100-octane gas for every engine of every plane, every hour they're in the air.
 You can share a car with your neighbors, and our planes can spot Nazi U-

 By pre-Pearl Harbor fig ureS, it would take you twenty-three years to use up 15,000 gallons of gasoline in your automobile.
 Fifteen thousand gallons of gasoline is what it takes to drive an Army mechanized division just 100 miles.
 There's a lot of difference between that fifty-miles-to- the-beach and fifty-mileS- back, and the hundred miles between ruined Rotterdam and the Nazi arsenal at Dusseldorf.
 The American car-driver has been using fifteen gal Ions of gasoline a week.
 A, Flying Fortress burns up a gallon a mile = just cruising to Tokyo or Berlin.
 That's a gallon every twenty seconds.
 Remember that the next time you drive down to the drugstore for a coke.
 That was a jeep, that was!
 It whipped past at sixty miles an hour, with a 50 caliber machine gun and three men with automatic rifles and hand-grenades.
 You get about twelve miles to the gallon, driving to the office, shopping for your groceries, taking the children to school, spending Sunday in the country.
 An Army jeep gets eigh- teen miles out of that same gallon. Hell bent = for Hitler.

"Soon three of his stretcher-
bearers were killed by Japanese
snipers who had strapped them
selves into trees along the shore, So
Oman would fill in the gaps in his
ranks, grab the end of a stretcher
and start out over the bullet-swept
ridge.
"It was raining all the time, and
when the doctors heard of a casu-
atty in one of the foxholes, they
would place a tarpaulin over the
foxhole and while Oman held a
f1ashlight on the injured man they
would do what was necessary to
save his life.

Visitor Tells How Ohioon Defed Jops
To Rescue Wounded in Soomons

The story of a Red Cross worker
who braved the fire of japanese
snipers to bring in wounded and
dying marines in the Solomons was
related yesterday by Charles K.
Gamble, Red Cross representative
in Melbourne, Australia, who came
to Washington to seek more sup
plies for the work of his organiza-
ton in the Pacific.
The hero is David S. Oman, Car
rollton, Ohio, and Mr.. Gamble said
ne hoped his associate would be de T..
corated for his gal.antry at Gavatu
where he carried stretchers for two
days without sleep. while the rain
beat down and japanese picked off
his comrades.
Mr.. Gamble said his associate had
gone to Gsvatu Island with supplies
and cigarettes.
Organized Stretcher Squads.
Soon the casualties began coming
in and Oman hastily organized
stretcher squads to answer the calls
of the wounded and dying" he con-
tinued.

first day, Oman could hear the cal

line. Then he would call for volun-

Khaki Shorts in Desert
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Borrowing an idea from the Brit
ish, the Army announced yesterday
that knee-length khaki shorts are to
be issued to American troops serv-
ing in desert areas. The decision
was made after more than a years
research.
British troops wear shorts for vir-
tually all service in the tropics, but
the United States is retaining long
trousers for the jungles, because OF
mosquitoes, leeches and other pests.
The new shorts were described by
the War Department as smart and
serviceable. They have five pock-'
cts. Knee-longth socks of olive drab,
half wool and half cotton, are part
of the equipment.

46 damaged-a total Of ST. The
eight planes reported shot down in
the latest communique raised total
Japanese plane losses to 29l.
Against these, the American
forces have had 10 ships sunk and
several damaged. The total of
American plane losses has not been
disclosed.

awaited the advantageous moment
OF attack, the Navy yesterday after
noon reported that American Army
bombers in the Aleutian Islands,
thousands of miles to the north, had
struck once more at Japan's bat
tered base on Kiska.
The attack, carried out by Martin
BPS, twin-engine high-speed Ma
rauders resulted in at least one di-
rect hit on cargo ship which was
seen still burning several hours
later, One American plane was
shot down by anti-aircraft fire.
DestrOyers Attacked.
The speedy Marauders also at
tackled two Japanese destroyers
northeast of Kiska, the communi-
que reported and scored three hits
on one and single hit on the other.
The Navy said the vessel hit by
three bombs probably sank.
These new blows to Jap shipping
In the Aleutians raised the enemy's
total ship losses for that campaign
to l3 sunk, five probably sunk and
"a damaged-an accumulation of
AZ ships sunk or damaged.
This was the first time the Navy
had specifically identified Army
bombers in the Aleutians as being
of the B-26 type. The communique
made no mention of fighter escorts
and it seemed probable that the
ships, depending on their speed
for protection, were unaccompanied.
Australians Continue Drive.
In its announcement of the
bombing attacks on Japanese bases
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters re-
ported that both at Buka and BUM
bombs fell among planes dispersed
on the ground, starting fires and ex-
plosions. The communique said
heavy damage was believed to have
been inflicted at Buka.
Allied reconnaissance planes also
bombed large japanese transport
ship off Shorthand Island, one of the
Solomon group just south of Bou-
gainville. Results of the attack
could not be observed,
Reconnaissance units, operating
over New Guinea, twice bombed
enemy occupied areas in the vicinity
of Mubo, south of Salamaua, it was
said.
Meanwhile, Australian jungle
fighters continued their advance
down the northern slope of the
Owen Stanley Mountains of New
Guinea. The communique said that
under increasing pressure of the
Australians the japanese had with
drawn from Templetons crossing,
IL miles south of Kokoda. The Aus
tralians thus had pushed their
counteroffenSive not only over the
backbone of the mountains but were
now approaching the northern foot
