Killed in Action: John Doe
By HENRY McLEMORE

John DOE marine, scrunches down inside
~ landing boat as it drives in toward
South Sea beach.
He feels the boat ground. He hears a
command He jumps out into armpit deep
water. He wades forward.
A .5O-caliber slug from machine gun
hits him.
He is dead.
John Doe, marine, has given his life for
the United States.
That happened last month, last week yes
terday, and is happening right now. 1t will
happen tomorrow and God only knows how
many more times in the days to come.
1t is happening to John Doe, marine; John
Doe, engineer; John Doe, pilot; John Doe,
artilleryman; John Doe, tanker seaman John
Doe, bombardier; John Doe tank driver and
all the other John Does in the service.
In the death of John Doe is the answer
TO why those of us who have not as yet been
asked to give our lives for our country should
be willing to give everything else we have.

The labor leader should be made to read
them. He won't be able to think so much
in terms of hours when eternity stares him
in the face
The politician should be made to read
them. There are no party lines in the bat
tleline. When man faces death for his
country he doesn't face it as a Democrat,
or as a Republican, or as New Dealer, or
as party man. He faces it as an American.
THE citizen who complains about rationing
should be made to read the casualty
lists. How would he decide if he were given
the choice between no luxurious living
standard and-no tomorrow?
You can bet that he would choose to
walk, to take his coffee black, his house chilly,
cold, his days meatless..
Those who sit around round tables and
talk big on what the world of tomorrow will
be like should be made to study the casualty
lists.
For listed they would find the names of
the men who are dying to make possible
world of today.
Let beauty and truth and sweetness and
light come-but only after those who are
sworn to destroy such virtues are conquered.
HARSH as it may sound we can picture
"A no greater force of inspiration that
could be loosed on the people of this coun-
try than to have read TO them-over the radio
and printed en- the trent pages of the news.
papers, the names of the Americans who
died that day for America.
Who could but rise and respond with his
best after a roll call of the gallant men who
loved this country and what it stands for,
and offered up their lives?
The spoken words of men, no matter how
beautifully said, or the written words of men,
no matter how beautifully chosen can never
summarize patriotism, loyalty and sacrifice
as well as the simple lines in a casualty list
that reads:
Died in action: John Doe

John DOE didn't want to die.

John DOE didn't want to die.
He liked life, too. Not many months
ago he probably was an insurance salesman
in California, or bank clerk in Georgia or
college student in New York, or voice
teacher in Illinois, or farmer in Iowa.
He loved his family He had girl. He
wanted to marry and have home and raise
family.
He was like millions of the rest of us.
He wanted to follow the Yanks and Dodgers
and maybe get little tight on Saturday
night and sing songs in the kitchen. root
for his football team, 30 fishing, save his
dough to buy a house.
But he's dead
He didn't owe any more to this country
than any Of the other millions of Americans.
But he gave it all he had.
THE reading of casualty lists is tough 60
ing, but they should be required reading
in this country today.
The industrialst who worries about his
profits should be made to read them. Death
makes percentages seem pretty small.

Those SWdstikds
In Sidewalks
Put in Purpose|y
the Trademark
Of Builder and Not
a Trick OF Killers

Are you one of those persons
worrying about who put the swas-
tika on the sidewalk near your
home?
If you are, you can quit worry
ing right now.
II wasn't Hitler's crowd.
For matter of fact, those
swastikas. and there are plenty
of them, were put there when
Hitler was still a pup.
An investigation conducted by
The Detroit Times today revealed
this fact:
The swastikas were placed on
the sidewalks between 1909 and
1918 by the reputable cement
contracting firm of William l..
Krieghoff and Sons. who used
them as its trademark in order TO
comply with a city ordinance.
EXPLAINS SWASTIKA
Krieghoff died 10 years ago at
the age Of 70, but his son, Edwin,
who along with another brother
took over the business in 1918,
offered this explanation:
"When dad started in busi-
ness for himself in 1909, a city
law required that cement con-
tractors identify their work
with a trademark. Having
Travelled considerably. dad chose
the swastika, an original Amer
lean Indian sign which meant
continuous or everlasting.
He even used the swastika
on his stationery.
when he retired I'm 1918 and
my brother and / took over the
business we dropped the swas-
tika because we had no use for
II as general contractors"
Krieghoff said that his father'st
company had laid much Of thel
sidewalks in the area adjacent tol
the boulevard and that at least
every block bore the insignia.
BEFORE HITLER'S DAY
Eve had the swastika before
Hitler ever heard of it," said
Krieghof. 1--WE borrowed IL
from the American Indians and
Hitler apparently stole IL from
them"
Krieghoff said that his father.
although born in this country, had
many friends in Germany.
when the Nazis first became
active, many Of dads friends
wrote 10 him and asked him
about the origin of the swas-
tika," Krieghoff said. I'm sure
they were disillusiOned about
Hitler when they learned that
there was nothing original about
the design"
