Whoooo -whoooo -woo-woo

That, today, is the "n,oDingest" sound in
the uorld!
Through night, through storm, it shrills for the
right Of yay for Uncle Sam.
Troops, guns, munitions, food, materals,-all
going places-in hurryl
How fast the pace?
This may give you some idea: Last year the
Great Northern moDed nearly one third more
freight than euer before in its history. Much
of it, critical war materials that had to arrive on
tir1e-and did!
And, incidentally, it doesn't follow that because
the railroad moved nearly one-third more freight
than ever before, it received that much money
for its services
The fact is that the pay the Great Northern
received for the record breaking transportation job
it did in 1o41 actually less than it received in
1923 or 1929, previous peak years.
Not only did the Great Northern receive less, but
it paid the highest wages in its history the highest
taxes ($16, 867 ,023 in 1o41 as compared with
$o,2Ol, l54 in 1920, and higher prices for fuel,
materials and supplies
The Great Northerns net income profit was
actually less last year than for each Of the eight
years from 1923 to $780,
But that is beside the pointi
The main thing is
To keep delivering the goods for Uncle
Sam!
To keep those freight cars rolling!
To try to come through the present year with the
record intact-a record of NOT single hours
delay in any part of Uncle Sans luor effort
on account Of any failure Of the Great North
ern Railway!
And to that end, the men who man the trains
who maintain the roads of steel, keep the cars and
locomotives in repair, and perform the many other
necessary services, can be depended upon to
"keep 'cn, rolling"

by United States Marines"
 An entirely serious proposal is that cadets, instead of going im- mediately to West Point or An napolis, should first spend a year in a new school that would teach not soldering or sailoring, but the rudiments of modern war-making by land, sea and air. Also that in school and forever after everyone, soldier, sailor and airman, all should wear identical uniforms.
 Of course, this tears at the con ventional idea that morale is built by esprit de corps-unlesS by corps one means all the fighting forces and not the good old Umtieth h. fantry. But the good old Umtieth Infantry spirit gone haywire Is held by American officers to have had Q lot to do with the befud- ding of the disparate democracies by the more efficient cooperation ot all Nazi arms and services. And there are other advantages to bt gained from closer blending ot our forces.
 MANY GAINS FROM
 COORDINATION
 We would save time and money by ending present Implications ot Army and Navy supplies and equip ment, such as anti-aircraft guns and communications systems. We would gain teamwork that would be invaluable in defense against at- tack by air or sea on coastal cities and in the land-sea-air operations SO numerous in this war.
 Sentiment for this is perhaps stronger in the Army than in the Navy. General Marshall has not only done one drastic job of pub lie streamlining, but sundry lesser private ones. He has also giver the Army air force clear runway to higher attitudes in strength anc influence.
 The Navy flyers are getting more proportionately of strength than oi influence. Admiral Ernest J. King is a flyer, but the other three full Admirals are not. Of all 128 (most' ly ageing) flag officers, only 27 ar' airmen. Of the nine airmen newly made Admirals. eight were Real Admirals, the lowest, only one O. l Vice Admiral and he, Jack" Tow

DAVIS HONORS | ARTHUR CRAIG
Central Avenue Resident Catergory Official in LO-
 cal Report Center

An additional 265 men throughout Connecticut have qualified as Bomb Reconnaissance Agents in the Civ ilian Defense program in the state by attending Army sponsored schools in five cities, Dana, L. Davis, director of emergency services of the State Defense Council, aIl- nounced today. The one-day schools were held last week in Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury, Bridgeport and Stamford where Army experts served as instructors.
 The state now has a mobile unit of more than 400 Bomb Reconnais- sance Agents covering every city and town as the result of the train ing programs for such services. These men will work under IA Re- gional Bomb Reconnaissance Agents. Although normally assigned to their own communities these men may be sent to any emergency spot in the state, MT. Davis said. In case of a bombing in one area 1t would be possible, if necessary, to send one hundred or two hundred men from various parts of the state to assist in the reconnaissance of each bomb ing incident, he said.
 The duty of these men is to visit scenes of bombing and report di- rectly to the local report center the existence of any unexploded bombs and their nature. The local report center sends the information to Dis trict Warning Centers which in turn notify the State Control room which notifies OCD headquarters in Bos- ton where the information is made available to the Army which takes care of the removal of such bombs.
 Men graduate from the five schools held last week will be as- signed to local Rescue Stations, Re- port Centers, Fire Stations, etc They will also receive Identification cards, armbands, and insignia fol their motor vehicles which will per init them to travel during air raids and blackouts in the performance of their duty.
 MT. Davis announced the follow.

RY FRANK TREMATNE

United Press Stan COrrespOndemtl
 Pearl Harbor, Oct. 30--(UP)-A full scale Japanese land attack on Guadaleanal, involving the use of at least 10000 enemy troops sup ported by sea and air action, will begin at any moment, if 1t is not already under way, informed sources believed today.
 The most recent enemy land ac- tions reported by Washington com- munidues indicate, these sources said, that the next drive would be the most determined and perhaps a decisive action.
 The Japanese land assault was expected to be aimed at Henderson field, the airport of the small, American-hel section of Guadal- canal, from three sides simultane- ously. Such a battle plan would follow the pattern of the unsuccess- full Japanese attacks of Sept. 12-14 which, however, were made with considerably smaller forces than the present enemy concentrations.
 The land attacks, observers be- lieved, will be supported by heavy shelling from naval forces and aerial bombardment by planes from Buka and Rabaul. The three di- mensional attacks will be made by the heaviest forces ever thrown against the Guadalcanal defenders
 While the Japanese pressure or Guadalcanal increases, an encour- aging note is the continued ability of the Americans to use Henderson field for offensive action, despite the concentrated Japanese artillery 1 bombardments and the presence oi enemy troops so close to the fielc that they can fire at American planes as they take of.
 Information on the exact situa' ton at Guadalcanal has been ex' tremely meager for several days with navy communiques running three days behind the action there
 Fleet activities for both sides have been kept deeply secret since Oct 26, when the U. s. Navy, temporari ly at least, repulsed or diverted heavy Japanese naval concentration
