The House members heard a
group of military aviation ex-
pertS. and listened to pilots who
have had wide experience in &C
tual combat operations. Those
who have seen service against
the japanese admitted that the
Zero is good flying ship but a
poor fighting ship" and said that
the test of a plane is whether it
wins in battles and, on the basis
of this test, our fighter aircraft
have conclusive superiority.
The committee studied the per-
Torrance of our medium and
heavy bombers but stated that
with respect to our bomber
types, little need be said since
their record to date is so out
standing as to silence criticism"
Another interesting revelation
from the subcommittee relates
to the accident rate of Army air
forces. Because both services
make a policy of giving publicity
to plane accidents, there may be
an erroneous impression as to the
extent Of such mishaps.

DYKSTRA: FREE WORLD WILL
HAVE NO NEED FOR CONFLICT
Written for Wide World Features
Bv G. A. DYKSTRA
President of the University of Wisconsin

PRESIDENT OF the Uni
Nations go to war or find them
selves at war for variety of rea-
sons which satisfy them. At the
same time it is doubtless true
that the vast majority of the citi-
zens of these same nations I'M
questiCnably prefer peace to war.
Even in democratic societies
where there is opportunity for
public opinion to determine ma
tional policy and where there is
normally an anti-war sentiment,
there comes from time to time in
volvement in war.
1t is difficult, therefore, to con-
slider war and peace as separate
ideas or even as antithetical un-
der certain circumstances. As
suredly Americans did not want
war and many were opposed to
preparation for war under the as
sumption that we need not have
war if we willed against it. And
yet, we have it, and Americans are
overwhelmingly for prosecuting
var to the hilt even if it takes all
that we have in human and
natural resources for the dura-
ton.
Positive Problem
The problem of the post war
world, is not negative but positive
mot a declaration in avoidance
of war but a constructive policy
of dynamic peace. Those who
have been making war in recent
years have had a program which
could be carried out only through
war. No peace program will have
chance of success unless it re-
quires peace even if peace has to
be enforced.
We come then to the question
as to what will make for peace
full living and a minimum of con-
tention and friction. Only through
cooperation can we reduce such
contention. Firing squads can not
do it.
Nations attempt in one way or
another to work out what they
call manifest destiny" This will
be done peacefully. if possible, but
by war, if necessary. How scan
this manifest destiny idea be lift
ed out of the domain of competi-
ton and exploitation as among
nations and put upon a universal
or planetary basis? How shall we
satisfy the needs of individuals
and nations and persuade them
that what people and peoples
want can be attained without the
losses and destruction attendant
upon war? How can we sub
stitute an understanding of his
tory for the hysteria that affects
so many from time to time?
What Men Want
Such questions bring US face to
face with some attempt to deter
mine what things men want SO
badly that they are willing, when
they lose hope, to fight for item.
Put categorically these things are:

BOX SCORE" COUNTS
CRITICS ANSWERED

In aerial combat, it is the box
score that counts, says the report
of the Aviation subcommittee of
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, which answers charges
that this country's fighting ships
are inferior" to some of those
of Germany and Japan.
With this criterion, the Com
mittee points out that American
planes are consistently knocking
down two to three enemy planes
for every one that is lost. This
record, it adds, should be a com
plete answer" as to the fighting
qualities of our planes, which
have proved themselves to be
more than a match" for any of
the aircraft now pitted against
them.
The findings of the House sub
committee are interesting, eS-
pecially in view of the rather
widespread criticism of our fight
er planes voiced in past months
and given some impetus by the
Truman Senate Committee. 1t
should be reaSsuring to parents
of cur pilots who may have been
unnecessarily alarmed by those
who have asserted that our air
craft, especially pursuit planes,
are behind those of the enemy.
The House group, citing the
record established by American
planes in the thirty days from
IA to September IA, in
reveals the ratio of enc
my planes destroyed in combat
was rs to l. 1t warns, however,
that these figures should not be
as normal or unusual
ratio" because our ratio of losses
will inevitably increase when we
go further on the offensive.

VICTORY PATH
One Man Does His Bit

Eighty American fighting men
possibly in the far Pacific or on
the blistering battlefields of Af-
RIGA, can soon give thanks to a
COW, a calf and 72-year-old Albert
E. Jeffray for their greater COM
fort.
Seventy-two is too old for
fighting, and Jeffray was short
of cash. Still, a man ought to do
something for his coratry. no
matter what, and Jeffray fig
ured he was no exception.
So one day last spring he wound
up his aging automobile, looked
calculatingly at his tires with
thought to potential mileage left
therein, and jounced to Ell Centre
from his rural home. His first
port of call was the Red Cross
office in the county scat. He soor
stood before Mrs. w. J. Meagher
executive secretary for Ell Centre
and assistant field director of the
county area.

His story was quickly told. He
had no money, but he did -

Children Pile Up
Great Scrap Heaps
In Hot Contests

Youngsters Cover Town

The school children have
taken charge and have the
situation we'll in hand
Ell Centre school children
jumped whole heartedly into
the scrap metal drive Friday. With
a tremendous clanking and thump-
ing of contributions they stacked
up huge piles of scrap metal and
other valuable salvage material SO
desperately needed in war produc-
ton.
A red hot competition to collect
the biggest pile of scrap broke out
at Wilson elementary school with
class pitted against class.
Neatly piled and we'll marked
with the classes whose members
collected it, the scrap metal tiers
began growing with staggering speed
on Wilson school lawn. Brass, rub
ber, burlap, and scrap metal of all
kinds and descriptions began clat-
tering onto the collection piles.
BRASS KEYS TAKEN
Practically every car that stopped
at Wilson disgorged contribution.
Pupils on bicycles we're considerably
hampered by bristling metal tied on,
dragged behind, or towed in little
wagons. They collected II pounds of
brass keys for the Fulton Lewis
key drive. The Wilson school scrap

he thought he might travel around
picking up scrap from the farms
which we're willing to let him
have it, Then, he reasoned. he
could sell the scrap to the junk
men, and turn the proceeds over
to the Red Cross, and sort of help
out that way.
He did. But after a while that
didn't, somehow, seem to be
enough. The war was getting
tougher, folks had to double up.
Jeffray looked over his scant hold
ings.
There was the Guernsey, nov.
She was pretty nice COW, only
maybe she needed a little fat
tening up. The old man made up
his mind then and there. He pro-
ceeded to act, then revealed his
decision to Red Cross directors.
THE BIG DAY
The Guernsey went to pasture
Jeffray watched jubilantly as ex-
ira pounds came to her. Red
Cross directors began inquiring
solicitously after her condition,
and with gooo reason.
One day the calf was born, and
three was quiet celebrating all
around For Jeffray a problem
the problem of how he was to pay
for pasturage-had been solved.
For the Red Cross, the day was
nearer when more help could go
to the men overseas.
Then, last Wednesday, the old
ster reached his goal He sold
the COW for $50, and proudly turn
ed the money over to the Red
Cross, He sold the calf for enough
to pay for the cows pasturage
Friday the Red Cross directors
earmarked the $50 to purchase ma
terials for the compact little COM
fort kits which go to the men in
Americas service overseas. They
cost a dollar each, and in one
are writing materials, cigarettes,
a deck of cards, razor blades, soap,
sewing equipment, a small book
and chewing gum.
That's how 72-year Albert
E. .Jaffray, a calf and a COW helped
cheer Americas fighting men,
wherever they are.

Desert Grapefruit
Orders Issued

SACRAMENTO. Oct. 9-(UP)-
The state department of agricul-
turc today issued three orders af-
fecting the -u-raState handling of
desert grapefruit produced in the
Imperial Valley and in the Coach
ella Valley.
The first order is identical to
the 1941-42 order and applies to
the 1912 43 season.
The second order provides for
the use of only standard types
of containers except for consumer
packages sealed from the area of
production to the ultimate consum-
er
The third limits the handling
in intrastate commerce of grape
fruit of a size smaller than the
80 size and of a grade lower than
the u S. No. 2 grade beginning
Oct. IL. 1912 and ending Nov. l.,
1912. This is similar to the l94l-

said today he assumed that

rying out extremely we'll the
duties the President asked him to
attend to during his tour of the
Middle and Far Eastern war the
atcrs.
The President was asked if he
would Say to what extent Willkie
was his personal representative. He
answered with a flat no. adding
that everything was all right as far
as he was concerned.
The President said that during
the past week political use had
been made of his relationship with
Willkie, but he did not elaborate.
The President asked, however, why
that should be the preponderant
angle.
Asked for elucIaauon of his some
what cryptic statement on the polit
lCdl dSpeCUS u IIlS IcldJlOIlSlllJ Will
Willkie, the President declined. He
said the country is not interested
with elucidation on things that are
not absolutely true.
The President explained he had
no further information on WILKES
trip than the newspapermen had,
and he assumed that Willkie was
carrying out extremely we'll the
things he had asked him to do.
The President at his last press con-
ference said he had not read news
paper accounts of Wilkes second
front statements in Russia and des-
ignated them as purely speculative.
The Presidents remark today ap-
parently was designed to offset his
casual comment on the Willkie dis
patches, which had provoked Will
kie to say in China he would say
what l damn we'll please" in MAX
ing public statements during his war
tour.

If Price Raised, Claim

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-U.PD-

annually from Brazil alone If it
