Letters have been addressed by
the board to telephone companies

The hoard added that with the

expanding war effort, 1t believes the
congestion will become greater in
the future. Shortages in materials
and personnel, it was asserted, are
likely to prevent relief through ex-
pansion Of facilities.
The telephone companies were re-
quested to obtain the cooperation
of the pubic in eliminating, inso-
far as possible, all toll calls other
than those relating to the war
effort. The board suggested an

noticeable increase in the time re-
quired to complete long distance
calls, such delays running, it was
said, as high as six hours or more
The cause for the delay in most
cases, 1T was said, is due to the

brought about by the rapid increase

The governmental agencies were re-
quested to curtail telephone use by

Rear Admiral Frederick Carl
Sherman is wearing two medals to-
day that aren't listed in any book
on Navy regulations-one from the
American Humane Association and
another from the TailWaggers Club
of Washington.
He received the medals in short
sun porch ceremony at the Ward
man Park Hotel yesterday. The ac-
ton for which the medals were
presented occurred in the Coral Sea,
May 8 and was part Of the last
battle of the Inflated aircraft car
rier Lexington. Admiral Sherman
remembered his cocker spaniel. Ad-
miral Ways, during those hectic
minutes when the ship was being
abandoned and helped lower him
over the side Of the vessel, where
he was picked up by crew members.
Admiral Wags posed on table for
the benefit of photographers.

Sociation. was simple.
This medal is given to you" he
said, because in moment of grave
peril you remembered to rescue
your four-footed friend. It's a
medal we award only for special
humanitarian acts" The Tail-Wag-
gers medal was also awarded for the
rescue of his dog.
Admiral Sherman described in de-
tail the method of lowering the dog
over the side Of the burning Lex
ington.
II had my aide help me tie life
preserver around Wags." the ad-
miral said. HE was funny look
ing thing, indeed. all wrapped up
in a life preserver bigger than he
was. We tied a rope to the pre-
server and dangled him overheard.
I figured that even If nobody caught
him Immediately he would have a
chance for his life and would prob
ably swim to one of the rescue YES

AS soon as Admiral Ways had
been put overheard, Admiral Sher-
man went aft to direct abandon
ment of the ship and later went
down a rope to a waiting rescue

face. It's a naval secret where Ad-
miral Sherman and Admiral Wags
had their reunion.
Admiral Wags is no ordinary dog
and deserves the description world

ers, carriers and various other types
of ships and has flown in airplanes

can recognize captains stripes or
an admiral's insignia. When he
gets on boat he picks out the
captains quarters Immediately and
makes himself at home. On his
collar he wears the two stars and
anchor of an admiral.
Wags really belongs to John Sher-
man, son of Admiral and Mrs. Sher-
man, who was given the dog on his
9th birthday in 1882. But while
John has been away at boarding
school the dog has accompanied
Admiral Sherman on his cruises.
The son plans to follow the naval
career of his father and his dog
and will apply for entrance to the
Naval Academy.

Senate Sentiment Favorable
Indications are that the Columbia
Power authority BILL which, among
other things, would enable the Au
thority to purchase the holdings of
the private power companies in the
Bonneville dam area, will pass the
senate when it is finally reported out
of committee, but will encounter rough
sailing in the house, where the Power
Trust seems to have more influence.
Hearings on the bill before a joint
senate and house subcommittee have
been virtually completed
The bill was introduced in the SEN
ate by Washington's Senator Bone
and in the house by Reps Martin
Smith and Knute Hill, also of Wash
ington.
The private power company hold
ings, under the BILL would be acquired
by the Authority either through nego-
tiation or condemnation, the money
to be raised by issuance of revenue
bonds. The Authority would be only
in the generating and transmission
end OF. the business, and would sell
the distributing systems back to the
districts or communities.
A feature of the bill is that it makes
collective bargaining on the part of
the Authority mandatory Labor I'M
ion representatives testified at the
hearings in behalf of the bill.

also become traitors.
Haw-Haw couldn't understand why
IL was that such Americans of Ger
man extraction as Admiral Nimitz and
General Eisenhauer are rendering de-
voted and distinguished service TO the
democratic cause. He recalled ALEC
that General Pershing of World War
! I was of German extraction.
The answer is that Americans of
German extraction are loyal to the
United States the same as Americans
of any other extraction, also that this
is a war being fought to safeguard the
democratic way of life, not war
against the German people. Many
Germans, right inside Germany, would
like to be fighting in the same cause
for which Nimitz and Eisenhauer are
fighting.
