Ancient History
At the breakfast meeting held
Tuesday morning in Ell Centro by
oil company moguls to plan for the
scrap rubber campaign, Dan Carter
did something quite in keeping with
the campaign.
He stretched his memory away
back to NRA days and declared that
his present feud with M. O. Simms
started then.
Not to be outdone, Simms
stretched his memory just as far
back into the past and corroborat-
ed Carter's statement. They agreed
that far, and then went on with
their feuding You see, they simply
couldn't agree on what the NRA
fight was about.

of opinion. Anyway, if you're not

Il don't seem to be in such a big

TOO bad you aren't a writer in

Then you could write a story"
Maybe III tell a writer about it

said. And get a contract to illus

There is no white bread, no silk
stockings, and no candy of any
kind, he declared. The coffee
tasted like dishwater to him.
Goods had to be bought with
coupons, according t\ Brown,

battle ragged all day. The ridge
was held.
Captain Sizzling told Kennedy
of the fighting in these words:
1--WE zigzagged about 100
yards each way, just keeping
zigzagging and firing at enemy
tanks. Our orders were to fire
at the enemy tank nearest to us
and keep firing at it until we
stopped it, then turn our fire on
the next nearest tank.
1--WE opened up with our rs
millimeter gun when they came
within 5000 yards (about a
mile and two-thirds), using high
explosive shells at first, chang
ing to armor-piercing shells
when they came nearer. When
they came to within 1900 yards
we used our 37mm. gun, too.
They launched three big attacks
during the day, but no German
tank got nearer than 700 yards
to us.
Il don't know exactly how
many we knocked out as we did
not check them up, but there
were at least nine"
He declared there was no
question the American medium

tive sailorettes today even before

of the House Naval affairs COM
mittee disclosed he would seek
Congressional approval of legis-
lation creating a women's naval
reserve, a fellow-committeeman,
Representative Vincent (D-Ky)
announced he would object 10
unanimous House consent for
consideration of the measure.
The whole mess is ridicu-
lous," said Vincent. who halls
from a western Kentucky dis
trict where. he asserted, the men
folks do the fighting and the wo-
men take care of the homes.
Already passed by the House,
a bill creating the reserve was
amended substantially by the
Senate and, unless Vincent with
draws his opposition, will be
forced into conference TO iron
out the differences.
Vincent contended at a COM
mittee meeting yesterday that
there was no need for the pro-
jected force of 10000 enlisted
women and 1000 women naval
officers to take over non-combat
shore duty.
