Ing hands to grasp the pet dog member
OF the family, and they squeeze where
1t hurts most-his .'tummy".
For quite some time, hamburger has
been delicacy with pet dogs-because
OF higher beef prices. But Uncle Sam
really put the pet dog in the pleasure
car driver class when he announced
that tin cans must be used for other
and more important uses than canned
dog food.
To the dog and his owner. this may
prove blessing in disguise. During the
emergency many pet dog owners will
turn to dry dog feeds. And they will be
surprised to learn that for years large
kennel owners have been using dry dog
feeds because of their completeness and
economy. These owners like the gloss

thrifty condition that some of these dry
dog foods produce.

Sugar Ration Book
No. l Registration
Is Set For May 4 to 7

Registration for Sugar Ration
Book No. l will be held through
out the nation on May 4, S. 6 and
Z. At that time applicants will
be required to declare how much
sugar they have in their posses
sion. If the quantity is more
than two pounds per person.
coupons equivalent to the u r
olus will be removed from the
book before it is given to the re-
gistrant. If the surplus i 8
more than four pounds per per-
son no book will be issued.
To obtain a ration book after
the registration dates. t h e ap.
pllcant will have to 20 before his
local board, satisfy the board
that his sugar stock has been re-
duced to the minimum and that
the reduction of his excess stock
has taken place at a rate n o
greater than the allotted rations
for the intervening period.
1t is emphasized that those
who do not apply for books on
the specified registration dates
can obtain them later from their
local boards if they prove that it
was impossible for them to ap-
ply during the specified period.
1t is both good sense and good
patriotism to dispose of excess
sugar stocks now, according to
the national board. Grocers will
be glad to buy back sugar from
customers who wish to reduce
their supplies and qualify for ra-
ton books, but that must be cone
before registration starts.

PAA OFFICIALS PROVE CAPT. F0RD'S ODYSSEY WAS ACTUALLY ROUTINE

NEW YORK. Ja1. = That de- scription of the 3l.500-mile fight of a Par American A'rWays Clip per from San Frane.eco to the Far Fast and then to New Work oyer 9 z.g-zag course as rort.ne threw commercial pla.s of the nations largest city into a tenn rarary tai'sp.n.
 Plot who olinb nt1 the coek- pit for hire did not csos' der that a f ght which took ny aircraft acroes the equator four times be tween Auckland. New Zealand. and New York merited the com ment "routine.'
 Pan American Airways ofic- ials corroborated the fight re- port, however, when in releasing additional details of Captain Robert Ford's odyssey, they re- yea cd that the apparently 'chance-hap path flown by the war-trapped Cliper was a pre- determined course which had been set up month ago by PAA Tn the event of emergency.
 Carefully Guarded
 So carefully guarded was the 85,0O0-pound Clippers long flight that fewer than a dozen persons. including the Airways' staff at the base, knew of it.
 Starting from Auckland on De cember l6, the Pacific Clipper turned northWard to Noumea, New Caledonia, and from there headed west to New York, more than 23,000 miles away.
 Crossed Five Continents
 Although details of the route followed by Captain Ford and his crew of II were not disclosed for security reaSonsf the Clip per's course caused il to touch or cross five of the earth's seven continents - all except Europe and Antarctica.
 From the time it left San Fran cisco until 1t reached LaGuardia Field 1t made eighteen stops in twelve coutries.
 The Pacific Clipper touched or crossed the South Pacific. Indian and Atlantic Oceans, Australia. the Timor Sea, Netherlands In dies, Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea Persian Gulf, Red Sea, the Nile, Congo and Amazon rivers. South America, and the West Indies.
 Take 22 Days
 The trips longest single hop was 3,583 statute miles. The en- tire trip took twenty-two days. of which ten days were spent on the ground due to various de- lays including weather and clear ,ance. Only an hour and half was lost through mechanical delay.
 When crew members stepped ashore the few spectator at La Guardia Field asumed the ship was one of the Clippers regular ly based there and simply com pleting a routine check flight. It| was not until military and naval intelligence officers completed their interview of the crew that the history-making flight was made known.
 Transmitters Silenced
 Flying, without passengers, course never before traced by air, the flying boat followed identical operationg procedure used in routine trans-ocean flights.
 The Clipper carried a spare en zine and most of the servicing was done in flight.
 Although the Clipper could re- ceive radio messages, it's trans mitters were silencd. Hence, the Clippers arrival at various stops ,,,,,

is going to maintain its integrity
and il you and l are TO be able to
look towards the future with the
faith that this is a democracy we
live in. then there must be no falter-
ing on this issue. This basieally
fascist rebellion must be put down.
But this issue must not end with
this decision alone.
The sidelights TO this struggle
provide some very Illuminating
facts. They demonstrate that many
of those sworn and entrusted to pro-
tect our democracy do not under
stand it.
The police who were sent last
Saturday to give the Negroes pro-
lection for moving in, Joined forces
with the fsscist-directed mob and
gave the Negroes no help at all.
Having once permitted the stu
alton to get out OF hand by refusing
TO dispense the mob that gathered
for the single purpose Of preventing
the carrying out of governmental
instructions, they used this as an
excuse to mishandle and assault the
naturally inflamed, but previously
absent Negroes Some OF the police
demonstrated inexcusable brutality.
Some other OF our public officials
were not able 10 differentiate be-
tween the renting Of Cass Audi
forum to a union which confined
its meetings TO its membership and
an organization which was reported
10 confne its meeting to only people
with white skin. In the eyes of
the officials these were merely
closed meetings and even though
the latter meeting was widely an
nounced as having the purpose OF
organizing opposition against an
other group OF citizens on the basis
OF their color, they could not see
a difference between them.
On the night before the rieting
at Sojourner Truth, one OF the
Common Councilman is reported TO
have said some exceedingly In
appropriate things against the Negro
people in another part of the city
These are not basic facts. Similar
facts could be listed ad infinitum
and never mean anything They are
only symptoms of basic disease
OF ignorance that permeates tos1
many Of our public bodies. i
We can't overnight overcome all
OF the imperfections in our democ-
racy. But we must fight to keep
the imperfections from becoming
characteristic OF our democracy. We
must fight to weed out Of RESPONSE
BILE positions those men who demon
strate total lack OF understanding OF
our democracy.
We must eliminate those blum
derers and incompetents We must
eliminate inconsistencies in the pub
lie policy which create the original
iniustices on which fascism thrives
and which threaten to divide our
people at a time when we must
have democratic unity.
Democracy has its own principles
which our bureaucrats must be
made TO live by just as we as a
people must live by them.

The families in the area have
cause to be put out by these blum

have saved all of their lives to own
the houses which they have pur-
chased and then have been led to
believe their security is threatened.
Many of them belong TO a minority
nationality group themselves, the
Polish people (whom I love very
dearly, especially because l am
married to a Polish woman) and
therefore feel as though they are
being Disseminated against. They
are not Fascists. or even fascist
minded. They have a legitimate
grippe against the duplicity OF the
governmental bureaus, which in this
case, l thank God. do not represent
honestly this social organization
which we call democracy.
But as in all cases OF fascist up
risings, the innocent many are made
dupes OF the vicious-minded few,
These same people who are now
fighting the Negro people, for Is
years have been living together and
going to school with Negroes in
peace. There is nothing basically
opposed between them which pre-
vents peace or this would not have
been so.
A few real estate men. and a few
representatives Of the churches, plus
a few of the people in the area.
plus others who have so far kept
themselves concealed, have turned
the problem into racial issue and
have inspired hatred against the
Negroes.
Why did the leaders do this? Why
did the issue gravitate to this level?
There are many reasons but I think
the following is the basic one: The
families in this area are law-abiding
people who have withstood depres-
sions and unemployment without
rioting or violence. They believe
fundamentally in the ideas OF free
dom and democracy and under ordi-
nary circumstances could not con-
