they started another silva for the

But the next one wasn't king.
Loomi was queen and George was
King Jojee the First.
He reigned for nearly seven
years.
But he didn't have much fun.
Fact is. that poor Jojee the
First was just an ordinary hen

"Papalangi! Papalangi!" yelled
the villagers running to the
beach.
That word means "cloudbus-
ter" because in those innocent
days they thought the great sail

clouds. And because white men
came in those ships they call
them "papalangi,' too.
George ran down 10 watch the
Minerva anchor outside the reef.
Then a whaleboat lowered TO
tow water casks TO the shore
A conch started 10 blow and
the natives ran to get their clubs,

George was worried sick. The
whalemen were trading with the
villagers. hard tack for cocoa

throwing leis and tiare about
their necKs and having the time
of their lives. The native men
were looking over the situation
mighty sour-like and giving
George dirty looks. And he
couldn't find Loomi
That night there was a big
silva and the sailors were about
a great fire on the beach, already
half seas over with kava. The

An Unwarranted Attack
By the Vice President

for attack the patriotism of Chairman Martin
Dies of the committee investigating un-Amercan activ
ties only outrageousy absurd but calculated to
damage that very unity of purpose for which we are
all so earnestly striving.
Chairman Dies in the normal and legal course Of his
work charged that 35 officials of the board of economic
warfare of which Vice President Wallace is chairman,
had been affiliated with Communistfront organizations.
The names of these men, their positions and salaries
together with red-hued organizations with which they
were allegedy affiliated were given
David s Vaughn, of the men named Immediately
denied the charge for himself
Most of those mentioned Mr.. Dies said however, had
been connected with the dscreded American League for
Peace and Democracy which dissolved after proof that
it Communstdominated had been laid before Con-
gress and the American people by Chairman Dies.
NNE the officials of the board Of economic warfare,
~ Maurice Parmeee is also charged by Mr.. Dies with
being the author of alegedy indecent nudist book
that has been in the courts.
That a nudst should be the board of economic
warfare quite expanabe when is remembered that
Mr. Wallace himself confessed student of asrology
and "intutonalist."
Just how nudst aid economic warfare
g will be as puzzing to most plain Americans to how
street dancers ward off bombs from the air.
In referring to Chairman Dies exposure of the
alleged Marst radicals in the BEW, Vice President Wal
lace goes to the length of saying:
"As a matter of fact, the effect morale would
be less damaging if Mr. Dies the Hitler pay ROLL
Seeing that the Dies committee and its work have
been overwhelmingly indorsed and ordered continued
again and again by the Congress of the United States and
that the American people themselves have overwhelmingly
Endorsed its exposures of Reds and Nazs in the refer
endums Gallup polls this assertion by the vice president
of the United States calls for instant apology not only
Chairman Dies and his coworkers but to the American
people, who stand almost sody behind the work of this
100 per patriotic American congressional committee
The vice president also makes the statement that Mr.
Dies seeks to inflame the public mind by malicious
distortion of facts which he did not want to check with
me-"
This recalls that Chairman Dies NEARLY YEAR
AGO gave the attorney general list of 1124 Reds and
"felow-travelers" empoyed-many of them in key posi-
tons-by the government.

Lotteries Helped TO Arm
u. S. in It's Pioneer Days
BY DAMON RUNYON

TT APPEARS that the founders
of our republic saw no in
iquity in lottery. On the con-
trary, they rather fancied that
means of raising money for
public purposes.
George Washington endorsed
one to build a road in 1853 and.
when President of the United
States, approved of lottery to
construct the city Of Washing
ton, D. C., as Frank Staples of
1868 North Ardmore, Los An
geles, has discovered in a bit
of historical research.
Thomas Jefferson, founder of
our democratic form of govern
ment, advocated a lottery to
raise money for the federal gov
eminent. Benjamin Franklin
sponsored one to buy a cannon
for the city of Philadelphia in
1748 and John Hancock man.
aged one to rebuild Faneuil Hall
after the fire in 1851.
MANY towns in New Hamp-
'A shire and Vermont were
promoted through lotteries and
New Jersey used that means of
raising funds to buy lands of
the Indians. Massachusetts went
in for lottery to pay for uni
forms for Revolutionary soldiers
and later TO cover old age
pensions
The great colleges of Yale and
Harvard erected buildings in
their early days through the
medium Of lottery and there
were no complaints in those
days against the system on
moral grounds. Indeed. it was
considered sound and expedi-
tious m ct hod of gathering
money for worthy causes. and
we have not the slightest doubt
that our forefathers would have
considered the army and navy
relief, for which we suggest
national lottery, as coming
under that head.
T1E enormous sum of money
Il that would be produced by a
national lottery would provide
amply for all the families Of our
soldiers who require relief and
probably leave a considerable
surplus for other purposes. 1t
is doubtful if the efforts of the
patriotic civilians who are now
engaged in raising money for
army and navy relief can ac-
count for more than a couple of
million dollars a year at most.
and this is mere chicken feed
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-04-03

compared to the requirements OF
the situation.
One monthly drawing in ma
tional lottery would give the
government more money than
any number of other enterprises
for relief purposes that could be
arranged and would relieve the
civilians of the burden they have
gladly assumed and permit them
TO divert their activities to other
useful channels. On the basis of
a drawing every month, a ma
tional lottery should produce at
the very least a quarter of a bill
lion dollars per year.
WE HAVE received scores Of
w different plans for a lottery
from our readers based on vari-
Gus devices. though we are in
clined to think that it is difficult
to improve on the old fashioned
wheel and drawing of numbers,
if it is operated and safeguarded
by the government. This is
a simple and uncomplicated
method.
We note that most Of our COR
respondents suggest the pay
ment of prizes in defense bonds
and several think that any sur
plus money over and above the
army and navy relief should go
TO the Red Cross. We also note
that the majority place the lot
terry revenue above our own
estimates, a point on which we
cannot argue because we are all
guessing. 1t might be greater
than the widest conjecture.
WE WERE inclined to doubt
w that the revenue to New
York from race track gambling
would reach the S20,000,000 that
the advocates of the pari-mu-
fuels insisted. yet 1t would prob
ably have hit that figure this
year but for the war-and may
do it anyway. The race track
gambling is just one symptom
of the a k e-a-c h ance fever
among Americans that also
feeds on the numbers game,
bank nights" and similar di-
versions.
We would like 10 see a bill in
troduced in Congress providing
for a national lottery for army
and navy relief if only TO see
how certain congressman and
senators stand. We are informed
that some of them are violent
bingo addicts, and bingo is GER
tainly a lottery. We want to
see if those statesmen are square
guys or hyprocrites.

Hershey Puts Draft
Choice Responsibility
Up 10 Hollywood
Rules Film Industry
Essential to National
Health, Sofety, Interest

Although ruling that "the mo-
ton picture industry is an activity
essential in certain instances to the
national, health, safety and interest
and in other instances to war pro-
duction," Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Her.
shey, national selective service di-
rector, has left the responsibility
for determining occupetional defe =
ments in this field squarely with the
industry and California local draft
boards, spokesmen in his Office said
today.
Gen. HerShey's statement of policy
was made in reply to an inquiry
from Lowell Mellett, co-ordinator of
Government films and Government
liaison officer with the film indus
try. Mr.. Mellett had written that
in the cases of some actors, direc-
tors, writers, producers, sound men
and other technicians, their services
are considered indispensable at GER
tain times.
Gen. Hershey agreed in effect. but
added that "the responsibility of
making claims for deferment is on
the motion picture industry and
determination of necessary men is
one for local boards"
Office associates explained that
national headquarters considers that
educational and constructive films,
as well as special films produced by
the industry for Government use
are clearly within the scope Of ma
tional health, safety and interest,
and, as such. constitute grounds for
certain draft deferments within the
industry.
The Associated Press reported
from Hollywood that Frank Free
man, president of the Association Of
Producers, issued the following COM
ment on the rulings:
Determination of those men
whose work is indispensable will be
carefully made in each individual
case"
