Competition
for Imagination

BURLINGTON, Wis, Dec. 81
-(P-A squirrely tale has won
for u. u. Kemp of Gadsden,
Ala, the title of World Cham
pion Liar for 1912.
Honors in the Burlington
Liars Clubs annual contest,
announced today, went to Kemp
for this bit of improbability:
This all happened one bad,
cloudy day in November, when
! was living on Sand Noun
tain. in Alabama. About z
o'clock, it came up one of the
worst cyclones I had ever seen.
II was standing in the win
dow, watching trees and build
ings sail over the house, when
I noticed tree going over with
a squirrel in it. Calling Madge,
my wife, to bring me my old
rifle, l went out in the yard,
and in the next 80 minutes l
shot 10 squirrels out of trees
that went sailing over.
II could easily have killed
more, but 10 squirrels day is
the limit in Alabama"
Kemp received the cluo's

ded' Tyre medal.

DOCTORS WITH WINGS

his first aid kit handy on his
lap.
Out of gas, the bomber crash
ed in a forced landing near
ShangriLa and Captain White
went of work. One of the flyers
suffered a grave leg injury. II
became infected as the bomber
crew limped toward civilization.
In desolate country and with
out adequate instruments, Cap
tain White realized that only
amputation of the injured limb
could have saved the pilots life.
The operation was performed -
successfully. Captain White,
when he returned to this coun-
try, was awarded the Distin-
l:uished Flying Cross. Now he is
back in combat with his squad
ron.
At an air base in Dutch Gui-
ana, Capt. Oscar Schneider, sem
ior flight surgeon, got word that
one of his squadron's patrol
bombers had crashed in the jun
gle. Flying at tree-top level,
Captain Schneider cruised over
the jungle in a rescue plane. A
hazardous landing was made in
a tiny clearing 10 miles from the
scene of the crash.
Hacking a path with mach
etes, Captain Schneider and his
pilot struggled through the jun
gle all of one day and part of the
next until they reached the
wrecked plane and its seven in
jured crew members.
Captain Schneider remained
with the injured men while his
pilot returned for help. Next day
an overland rescue party reach
ed the scene. The wounded were
taken back to the tiny clearing
and three days later all were
evacuated by air.
There was nothing spectacu-
lar about the medical side of the
evacuation" Captain Schneider
reported. THE work was COM

mentS.
Ever since we took over Puer-
to Rico, there has been a Con-
gressional law forbidding any
owner to have more than 500
acres. This has never been, en-
forced. But after the Populares
assumed governmental control,
in 1941 territorial land law
was enacted authorizing the
Government to take over large
land holdings by making token
payments, and let the owners
sue for the actual value of the
acreage.
The government is permitted
to dispose of such appropriated
lands either by sale in small
parcels to individuals, or by
lease for operation on a per-
centage-of-profit basis.
PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
Senator Munoz Rivera outlin-
ed his idea of collective farming
to this correspondent, but said
that thus far it never has been
tried out.
He would have large sugar
plantations operated as units,
under overseers, on such a basis
that the overseer's annual re-
turn would be a percentage of
the profits - perhaps Is = and
the rest of the profits would be
distributed among the workers
in addition to their day wages.
While the program is not con-
fined to sugar, that crop is by
far the most important.
Coffee used to be the leading
crop. But Americans do not care
for Puerto Rican coffee and Eu-
rope, which paid a premium
price for it, now is cut off by the
war.
Citrus fruits once were i'm
portant, but the trees were de-
stroyed by hurricanes, and take
long to replace. The tobacco Is
of the cigar type, and lost favor
when cigarettes became the pop
ular smokes.
Sugar accounts for half the
employment in Puerto Rico. 1t
pays an average wage of $3.50
a day - $1.56 to field hands
as contrasted with the average
of SIS cents a day paid by to-
bacco, 81 cents by coffee, II
cents by fruit growers.
Four A m e r lear mainland
companies control a large share
in the sugar business. Those who
want to take over their prop
critics argue that the profits
they take away would be Of

Man Of the Year

NEW YORK Dec. 81 - R -
Joseph Stain was named today
by Time magazine as its IMAM
of the year" for 1912.
1.-The choice of any man of the
year is in no way an accoldae
or a Noble prize for doing
good" P. l. Prentice, publisher
of Time, said in making the an
nouncement.
Nor is it a moral judgment"
he added. THE two criteria for
the choice are always these:
Who had the biggest rise to fame
and who did most to change tie
news for better like Stain this
year, or for worse (like Stain
1899, when his flop to Hitler's
side unleashed this worldwide
war;"
Time picked President Roose-
welt last year and Prime Minis

Navy Casualties
Since War Began
Total 20,307

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l-R)
The nations dead, wounded
and missing in the Navy, Marine
Corps and Coast Guard since
Pearl Harbor now total 2O,3S7.
The casualty list reached the
new figure with the Nays an
nouncement last. night OF the
names of 1880. The list covers
casualties reported to next Of
kin from Dec. / to Dec. ID IN
elusive.
Thus, the latest announced to-
tai of casualties for the armed
services was increased to SCOTS,
the Army in its last official re-
port of Dec. Z having announced
1000 dead; 1882 wounded;
3O,119 missing; 112 prisoners,
and LOG informed.
The Nays new losses, made
available for general publica-
ton for the first time, resulted
mostly from direct action with
the enemy. They included, how
ever, men lost in accidents at
sea and in the air while on war
time duties.
Four hundred four were list
ed dead; 631 wounded and SIS
missing. Some of those in the
latter classification, the Navy
said, may have been rescued at
sea and landed at isolated spots
or reached localities without
facilities for communication
with naval authorities.
Total casualties of the Navy,
Marines and Coast Guard are
$500 dead; 3,441 wounded, and
11,047 missing.
