A S EMIL SCHRAM, pres
~ ident of the New York
- Stock Exch an e,
pointed out in his realistic ad-
dress before the Nashville
Chamber of Commerce, the
great weight imposed by this
war on our working people of
all classes and our Industrial
lists rests solidly ON the FREE
SYSTEM OF PRIVATE EN-
TERPRISE that has built up
the country.
Physically, our colossal
war production rests on $50
years of SELF-INITIATIVE
and FREE LABOR.
Financially-even with a
national debt of $500, OOO,-
100000 which Mr.. Schram
forecasts-the great tasks of
the country rest on $50 years
of the highest level of living
in the history of the world
and the PROFITS and IN
VESTMENTS of our business
geniuses, large and small.
We are prepared to pay,
says Mr.. Schram, because our
people long ago chose between
slavery and freedom.
1t is, above all, on FREE
DOM FROM STATE AID
that those physical and finan-
cial resources have been de-
veloped upon which the gov
eminent now calls-and does
not call i'm vain.
Seeing how well we have
done and how well we are do
ing under the system of indi-
vidual enterprise, Mr.. Schram
rightly issues a warning, for
he sees, as do many millions
of us, that there are powerful
blocs i'm this country that
would destroy the American
system after the war.

Sheriffs Can't Keep
DeserterS Awards

Sheriffs must pay into the
County Treasury the rewards
paid them by the Federal govern
ment for apprehending deserters
or soldiers absent without leave,
Attorney General Thomas J.
Herbert held this week. Deser-
tion is not a breach of the peace
or a felony at common law or
by Ohio statute and therefore
apprehension of deserters is not
a duty enjoined upon the sher-
iff by law which would preclude
his acceptance Of an award. 1t
becomes public money, however
as soon as it is accepted by the
sheriff and must be paid to the

Registrars Should
Report Changes

Men who fail to report a change
in their status to draft boards
will find themselves in the army
sooner than those who obey the
law by keeping boards fully in
formed, state selective service
officials said this week.
Not 20 per cent of the regis
trants keep their boards fully in
formed concerning changes of
address, work, dependents and
physical condition, state head
quarters reported.
"There is no set policy, but
men who fail to report changes
which would make them eligible
for military service will find
most boards will make a special
effort to expedite their induc-
tion into the armed forces as
quickly as possible" the official
asserted.
Cases Of men who do report,
on the other hand, are handled
routinely, he said.

CHINESE MAKE
 GREAT BATTLE

(Continued from Page D regarding Chnuhsien, where some 1s,O0O Japanese casualties have been reported.
 Hopes for "a continued trium- phant march" were increased by attacks on enemy strongholds near the Japanese outpost of Ichang, it added.
 The official Central News Agency said the Chinese had recaptured strategic points near Wenshoukung, 12 miles west of Nanchang, and were pressing forward In a drive aimed at the provincial capital.
 Observers here believed this drive, directed at Nanchang from the west, might divert 8 substantial force of Japanese troops now con- centrating on seizing the 150-mile stretch of the Nanchang -Hangchow railway still in Chinese hands.
 Fifth Day of Siege
 Along the railway in western Chekiang, the key city of Chuhsien (Chuhow) was in its fifth day of siege. There were no new reports from the beleaguered air and rail base only 700 miles west of Japan, but it was believed the Chinese garrison still was holding out be- hind the city's walled defenses.
 Central said 6 Chinese drive in cnetral Rnhwel province, northeast of Kiangsi, was developing. The Chinese were said to have captured the town of Motein eas tof Hofei on Sunday. Another Chinese col- umn. Central said, was only 10 miles northeast of Hofei, a strategic Jap- anese-held supply and communica- tionS base.
 Battling fiercely in Chuhsien suburbs and behind its walled de- lenses, the Chinese garrison has killed or wounded more than 1000 Japanese in fierce hand-to-hand fighting, 6 communique revealed. These figures brought to at least l8,OOO the casualties inflicted on the attacking enemy in this area since last Wednesday.
 It appeared that the Chinese were fighting game but losing bat- tie in their efforts to hold the nid- de stretch of the Kiangsi- Chekiang railway, the only east-west line in that part of China not under Jap anese control.
 Japs Reinforced
 At the western end of the line, the Japanese have recaptured Tungsiang in Kiangsi after reciev- ing 5000 reinforcements. A com- munique said at least 5000 Japanese reinforcements had been thrown into the enemy'g Kiangsi offensive driving south and southeast from Nanchang.
 American Planes on Way
 Chungking, June IO-(UP)--Au. thOritative foreign quarters today denied reports that United States air achievements have arrived in China, but said the arrival of Amer ican ground crews indicated planes and pilots soon would aid General issirno Chiang Kat-Shek's forces against tho Japanese.

Hardest Defeat Any
 Nation Ever Suffered
Continued from Page D

Clearly indicating 8 fear of long, range bomb!ngs of Japan such as Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle's re- cent attack, the agency pointed out that Dutch Harbor is 900 miles closer to Japan than Hawaii.
 situated 2,5OO miles from Japan, Dutch Hartor with its deep excel- cellent anchorage and air bases was site of feverish United States preparations in strengthening the enemy encirclement ring against Japan"
 For the second consecutive day no word came from Admiral Nimitz's fleet headquarters at Pearl Harbor regarding the action in the Pacific, but 1t was presumed that the crippled Japanese main fleet or at least the bulk of it-was Xlov- ing back toward its bases with American 1ong-range bomberS ir pursuit. The German radio broad cast a report from Stockholm that 50 per cent of the Japanese main fleet had been involved in the bat tie. TOkfO, Berlin COver-up
 A full week after its attack on Dutch Harbor and six days after it's attack on Midway Island, Japan issued its first communique on its biggest naval engagement of the war-and the first great naval de- feat in its history.
