Flight Sergt. Maxwell Riddell, in

it's friendly. I took part in some
of those raids with Taylor. We not
only killed EN-, we cremated 'em!"
Prefers to Go on Raids.
Sergt. r. George Herbert. a Brit

the close of the program made
earnest appeals to the public to
support the war effort by purchase
of War bonds and stamps. Many
persons stopped by booths on the
grounds afterwards, and purchased
the securities.
The program was stirring with
patriotic music and during its first
half was elaborated by professional
entertainment from stage, screen
and radio.
The barge platform was colorful
with the flags of the United Nations.
The second half of the program
opened with entrance of color
guards from the Army, Navy, Ma
rines and Coast Guard. The Army
Band played God Save the King
and The Star Spangled Banner" b"
Invocation was by the Right Rev.
James E. Freeman. Bishop of WASH
ington. Commissioner John Russell
Young welcomed the group and
presented the first of the congress
sional group, Senator Connally.
Calls for Steadfastness.
Concluding the program with an
appeal to the public to support the
war effort by wasting nothing, and
by purchase of war bonds and
stamps. Senator Barkley declared
the young men had been an in
spiration." He said they typified
the millions of United Nations
soldiers fighting around the world.
But we are in it now just as
much as they are" he warned. 1T
will depend as much on our devo-
ton and steadfastness as upon
theirs. Unless we back them up
and work harder, consume less vital
materials, and put all possible dol
lars into War bonds, they will not
have the planes and bombs with
which to fight the enemy. What
ever we waste we are taking away
from them" He urged putting at
least 10 per cent of earnings into
war securities.
1t. Elliot Vandevanter, jr, the
first hero introduced, said in his
response to Senator ConnaIy that
he had been born in Baltimore, but
always considered Washington as
his home city" He expressed ap-
probation for the magnificent re-
ception." When he and his COM
rades go back to tell the boys of
the tremendous spirit of the people
here. the boys will be glad" he said.
British Pilot Officer A. F. Taylor
Of the Royal Air Force drew a big
round of applause, when he said: Il
am a bomber pilot. The Germans
tried to flatten Rotterdam and tried
