Deplores ~Heaping Calumny"
On Petain Government Of France.

Deplofoo "HeAplng Calumny"
On Petain Government Of France.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Regarding the seiElre Of the islands Of
st. Pierre and Miquelon by the De
Gaullist forces, II it not significant that
this act was preceded by unoonfirmed
rlmors emanating from London that
Petain was about to resign In favor OF
the pro-Axis Darlan?
II the islanders were persuaded that
France was about to enter into collab-
grafton with the Axis, naturally their
welcome Of De 0ualle's forces would be
spontaneous.
It seems France once again has been
dealt blow by the propagandists. No
one stops to think in these hectic days
that by heaping calumny on the heads
Of the French government in Vichy, We
are playing directly into the hands OF
the enemy.

Says Synthetic Rubber
Will Be Ready in 1914

CHICAGO.-John D. Beebe of the
B. F. Goodrich company predicts
that the manufacture of synthetic
and reclaimed rubber will enable
the industry to supply both defense
and non-defense needs by 1914.
He told transit members at a for
um of the American. Transit associ-
alton that within two years increases
in the production of reclaimed and
synthetic rubber should provide a
supply of 100000 long tons.
Beebe gave statistics of plane,
truck and other defense production
as an Illustration of where most rub
Der supplies would be going and
said that his company considered
the transit industry's present rub
Der quota too low and was making
every effort to have it raised.

Stubborn Kid Will Not
Take NO for an Answer

CINCINNATI.-If James Edwin
Collins had his way, he would be in
the Pacific with the navy fighting
the japanese. But he is only IA and
that's too young.
The day war was declared Jimmy
was refused by marine corps re-
cruiting officers because of his age.
A week later he was turned down
by the marines again.
Then he tried the navy, but the
story was the same.
You're too young, sonny" the
recruiting officer said, land besides
you're too small. Go home and wait
for us to call you"
That day the local navy recruiting
office sent 81 new seamen to the
Great Lakes Naval Training station
to begin training. The party arrived
at the school the next day and the
Cincinnati recruiting Office prompt
ly received a telephone call.
1--WE have proper enlistment pa
pers for 81 men, but 81 men are
here" an officer at the station said
How about papers for James Ed
ward Collins?"
Jimmy is back in Cincinnati now
living with his uncle. and going to
junior high school, but he still has
ideas about enlistment.
I'm going to grow up and when
I'm called I'll be ready" he said.

Long Alaska Hike
Saves Two Fhers
Forced Down in Fog, They
Walk ESQ Miles to Town.

SAN FRANCISCO.-While fiiers
searched vainly for them over thou
sands of miles of fog-bound wilder
ness in the Yukon, Lieut.. Col. Har-
old H. Carr and Corp. Richard Pom
PEG made their way on foot, with
heavy packs, back to Fairbanks,
Alaska. after their plane had been
forced down $50 miles northeast OF
that city during fight to White
horse.
The incident was reported at
Fourth army headquarters here
when Lieut.. Gen. John L. De Witt,
head of the western defense COM
mand, commended the men for re
sourcefulness and soldierly quail
ties"
Colonel Carr and Corporal Pom
PEG took off from Fairbanks before
dawn on January IT., but thick
weather on the route to Whltehorse
forced them to turn back. Out of
gasoline, they landed the plane on
a frozen river, damaging it only
slightly, and waited two days In
hope that aerial searching parties
might find them.
After the futile wait they put the
plane radio out of commission and
started off on foot, carrying packs
of bedding, food and firearms. Even
tually, after long hike, they found
an Indian trapper, and thereafter
they were directed to successive
trappers until they reached Fort Yu-
kon. There they obtained transpor-
tation to Fairbanks.
The leader of one searching par
ty was Lieut.. E. T. Marlborough,
who recently was recommended for
the Distinguished Flying Cross for
his part in rescuing a stranded pi-
lot, Lieut.. Elmer E. Booth, by land
ing his plane on an ice foe in the
Turnagain arm.

Head of Ground
Forces a Hero
Lieut.. Gen. McNair Credited
As Trigger Man Of
Modern Army.

WASHINGTON.-Lieut.G Gen. Les
lie J. McNair, a quiet, 58-year-old
Minnesotan about whom the public
knows little, has taken over COM
mand OF the ground forces Of the
U. S. army.
He was chosen for the Job when
President Roosevelt recently stream
lined the army's archaic admins
tratIve setup into three compact,
co-ordinated divisions-ground force,
air force and supply service. Lieut..
Gen. Henry H. Arnold and Maj. Gen.
Brehon B. Somervell have taken Of
fee as chiefs of the latter two units.
Designation of the sandy-haired
McNair as head of the ground force
under the new setup was regarded
generally as reward for the job
he did as chief of staff of the army
general headquarters which was set
up after the outbreak of the Euro
pean war to supervise building of
the nations land forces into a mod
ern fighting organization.
Trigger Man in Program.
McNair is generally credited with
being the trigger man" in the
army's modernization program. It
was his duty to see that the record
expansion program, including train
ing and organization, was carried
out; that selectees were fitted into
the army, and that our overseas
bases were properly equipped and
manned.
Using his quiet, homespun and
few words doctrine, he got the
job done with a minimum of fan
y fare, to the great satisfaction of his
superiors.
McNair eschews the capital social
whirl and is a firm believer in plain
living This belief has contributed
to a doctrine he has set up for all
troops under his command-that
they must have Iron in their blood"
to withstand the rigors of modern
warfare. He intensely dislikes
grandstand and self-promoting tao
tics, and contends the individual
must subordinate all to the service
of his country.
A few days ago, McNair told a
graduating class at the army's COM
mand and general staff school, Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, that U. S. SOL
diers still need more training to be
properly classed as FIRST line
troops"
Need More Effecf;venass
"They are capable of fighting
creditably, but with excessive
losses, and with less than full eff
fectiveness," he concluded.
This was regarded as tip off that
he means business in stressing his
Iron in your blood program for
the 100000 men who will be in
the army by the end of 1912.
McNair was born in Verndale,
Mimi, and graduated from West
Point. He served with the Funston
expedition to Vera Cruz in 1914, and
later in the border campaign against
Pancho Villa. He is field artillery
officer.
During the First World war, he
went to France with the A.E.F. and
reached the temporary rank of brig
adler general at the age of IS. He
headed the command and general
staff school until 1910, when he was
made CHG chief of staff. He was
promoted to major general, and to
lieutenant general in June, 1871.
McNair is married. He has one
son, Maj. Douglas McNair, a field
artillery officer like his dad, now at
Killeen Texas
