Motorists Worry
over Gas Ration
But Touring to West
Appears Popular

Undaunted by the tire prob
lem but somewhat timorous
about the eastern gasoline ra-
tioning those who have been
accustomed to spend their sum-
mer vacations in motoring are
still at it, it was reported today
at the office of the Automobile
Club of Michigan.
While most of the requests
for touring information are be-
ing received in regard TO west
ern tours, covering most of the
vacation lands of prairie, plains
an d mountains, few hardy
souls will brave the gasoline re-
strictions and try to spend some
time along the eastern seaboard,
it was stated.

NAVY ADMITS PLANES
HITTING POWER

There is no heSitancy at the
Navy Department in admitting
that the most vital victories of
the war so far have been forced
by air power, and that Gen.
Billy Mitchell, prophet without
honor, is restin geasily in his
tomb.
But, finally recognizing the
value of planes and more planes
in naval warfare, the tendency
still is to credit the battleship
as an almost equally important
weapon.
1T is not beyond the realm
of possibility" one veteran sea-
fighter says, that you'll see a
day when two big battle wagons
square off and pound each other
like they used to. Suppose, at
Coral Sea, all carriers on both
sides had been sunk.
That takes the planes out of
the air for both sides and leaves
only the ships to decide the bat
tie. That, you know, is the big
drawback of carrier based air
force. If the carrier is sunk the
planes can't land. It's not like
a land base, on which, no mat
ter how shot up it might be,
planes can always land some

Season Begins;
sspIentifuI
But They're in Deep
Water, Experts Soy

Opening Of the bass season in
Macomb County waters Thurs
day will see fishermen provid-
ed with an ample supply OF the
game fish, but they will be in
deep water and not in the weeds
banks and feeding grounds, local
experts said today.
The bass have been breaking
water in fine shape so far.
It may help to take the curse
off the tagging season in mus
kellunge and perch fishing The
last muSkie turned in at GaSow
boat livery, which sponsors an
annual competition for the larg-
est muskie, is 32l2 pounds. An
identical fish was hooked by
Charles Venner, but was not
eligible for entrance in the COM
petition, not having been caught
from a GaSow boat.
The muskie catch has been
hindered by cold weather dur
ing the early part of the season
and by the rapid growth of
weeds in which the fish are now
being caught with some diff
Guilty, owing to the fouling of
hooks by the weeds.
To offset the perch fishing
that's not so good, a fine catch
of pickerel is being reported
from behind Gull Island on the
Middle Channel of the Flats.

BATTLESHIPS CAN BE
ACE-IN-THE-HOLE

Another argument in favor of
retaining heavy battleships is
that, with two sides locked in
nearly equal air combat, the ex-
ira pounding power of the big
babies might conceivably sway
the battle. Still another argu-
ment is that carriers, of struc-
tural necessity, are considerably
Trailer than the wagons. Their
armor plating is not so thick,
and their huge flat faces make
juicy targets for bombs.
you have to remember"
says another Navy man, that
no battleship has been sunk in
this war - with the exception
of the surprise attack at Pearl
Harbor - by planes when they
had any aerial protection at all.
The Prince of Wales and the
Repulse were sunk, true, but
they had no umbrella of planes
over them. Your battleship will
take a pounding that a carrier
can't"
It is for this reason, the con-
sensus runs, that battleship con-
struction won't be eliminated in
favor of more carriers, although
carriers are aobut to displace
them in building priority. AS
Necessary adjuncts to large troop
movements, as dangerous long
range weapons for the Smelling
of land detectives, and as the
balance of power in mixed ship

Who walk and walk all day
With our rifles on our shoulders
To save our American way.

And clean our tents all out
Until we think they're pearly
And then we all fall out"
We march out to the field,
The bands play on and on,
It's column left and column

Until the day is done.
We get tired and disguised,
We feel like falling down,
But we know our country needs
US,
We march without a frown.

BATTLE OF GIANTS
MAY COME YET

The change now - especial
ly in task forces - is that you re
fighting farther apart The COM
bat zone has heightened. You
may have no big ships in ac-
tual combat. Your carrier with
its planes is the central figure,
bolstered by fast cruisers and
deStroyerS.
The broadeSt change in of
fensive tactics now seems to be
vested in the immense spread
of possible combat areas. From
blunt, powerful slugger, Ma
val forces have refined into a
light, speedy boxer-long-range
"a feinter for positions from
which waves of planes can be
dispatched to drop bombs and
torpedoes. The biggest problem
that arises in this newer warfare
is the protection of the carrier,
in order that the marauding
birds may have some place to
light after they've laid their po-
tent eggs.
Most Navy men agree that the
land-based plane, whenever pos
sible for practical use, is super
Tor TO the carrier-based plane,
strictly because of the perish
ability of the carrier. They ad-
NIT the carrier is here to stay,
and that the dreadnaught has
lessened somewhat in offensive
importance. But you can't help
but mark their rather wistful
hope that soon - maybe not
right away, but soon - the huge
sea fortresses will unlimber their
guns and win a slam bang deci-
sion after the Wanted air-pow-
err has been whitfield down to a
common denominator.

Ian, editor of the St. Louis Post
Dispatch editorial page, wrote an
editorial which Mr.. Riley and Mr..
Stearns said was a motivating fac
tor.
The trouble really started in the
scrap drive. The cannon looked like
potential scrap. Gov. Forrest c.
Donnell said no, the State couldn't
give the cannon away because it
didn't have a clear title to them.
The Legislature passed resolution
declaring the cannon were State
property. Gov. Donnell vetoed it.
Sunday the Post-Dispatch editor
ial, viewing the stalemate, sug-
gested it would be patriotic for a
group of citizens to visit the Capitol
grounds some dark night and at
tend to the business themselves.
Mr.. Riley and Mr.. Stearns had a

when they were arrested.
