Planes Used in Midway Battle

During three and half days Mr..
Shatto kept on the job day and
night. snatehing sleep four hours
at time and eating on the run. :"
OF course. I didn't do the Job
alone" remarked Mr.. Shatto, when
told OF his citation. 1T was the
men, themselves, who made it pos
Sible.
Every one of them worked as #
the future of the United Nations
depended on him-and maybe it
did.
Naturally they were being paid
for their work, but nobody had to
drive them. These men, and the
job they did, are typical of the
American way of getting things
done"
Mr.. Shatto started his aviation
career at st. Louis in 1928 as a
mechanics helper.

INDIA WANTS DOMINION STATUS FOR HER SHARE
 IN FIGHTING JAPANESE

WARDHA, India - Mohandas K. Gandhi exhorted Great Britain to confess that her imperialism has been the greatest crime against h. Gia" and to undo it, but, he added sadly, "of undoing there is yet no sign visible in the Indian sky"
 Indian nationalists opinion as ex- pressed in the press and by indiv- idual leaders was remarkably un- animous on these points:
 CD Disappointment because Win ston Churchill in his statement of Wednesday did not announce specif- ic reforms contemplated in the Bri- tish war cabinets new plan for ul- : innate dominion status for India i; CD enthusiastic approval of the sell ection of Sir Stafford Cripps as the man who is to come to India to att tempt to get approval of the plan from Hindu and Moslem alike.
