DES MONIES, Iowa, June g.
Officer candidates for the Womens S
Army Auxiliary Corps are going to
be taught everything a soldier needs
to know except actual combat.
They'll learn personal hygiene,
military drill, mess management,
air raid defense and host of other
| things.
And they'll be on a minute-by-
minute schedule from 6 am. to II
pm, six days of the week, Col. Don
C. Faith, commander of the WAAC
officers Training School at Fort
Des Moines, said today in announc-
ing courses for the program opening
July 20.
Officer applicants for the WAAC
now are being examined throughout
the country and 440 of them will

The officer candidates will have
seven 45-minute classes each day
and As minutes of military drill in

a particular official who was de-

program. He was SO indispensable
there that shortly after his defer
ment he moved to another agency,
where he became the executiv off,

Senator Tydings said the commit
tee was turning over to Maj. Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey, director of selec-
tive service, the record of the "apar-
rent abuses" with the request that
these cases be reconsidered.
I'VE are recommending, the Sen
ator added, that approximately
1000 deferments of persons working
for the Federal Government, who
are under Is years of age, should
be re-studied. The burden of this
war ought to fall on all people alike
according to their required duties.
These apparent abuses in some
of the departments appear more sg-
gravated when compared with the
necessity confronting such agencies
as the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation, which has requested defer
ments of 2,155 employees In the
case of the FBI, 1t is abundantly
clear that it has made its requests
for deferments only where there is
specially trained personnel used in
a very special field, in one of the
most important lines of noncom-
batant war effort of the Nation"
Exclusive of the Army and Navy
Departments, some 5000 men have
been deferred, Senator Tydings re-
ported, but the deferment privilege
has been judiciously used by most
agencies of the National Govern
ment."

basis, SO enactment would amount to
a general pay raise.
The new measure is a compromise
version of that originally introduced
in the House with administration
backing, granting 10 per cent raise
to certain postal employees for whom
overtime payment is not practicable.
The original bill was stymied by the
demands for straight pay increase
for unions which did not stand to
benefit by the overtime proposal, and
while the later bill does not satisfy
all objections, it offers such obvious
benefits that it's failure to meet the
desires of everybody is not likely
further to delay its passage.
In its present form, the legislation
has been approved by administration
spokesman, and it is to be taken for
granted, therefore, that the Presi-
dent is convinced that it does not run
counter to the wage-stabiliZation
program. In fact, representatives of
Budget Bureau and Civil Service
Commission contended at hearings
that the bill would do much to check
the high rate of personnel turnover,
with consequent saving in recruiting

Overtime Puy Bill

After hanging fire for months, the
overtime bill for Federal employees
has passed from the talking to the
action stage, with approval by the
Senate Civil Service Committee
affording opportunity for Senate
vote on the legislation.
Providing tirne-and-one-half pay
for hours in excess of forty in the
classified service, the measure is de-
signed primarily to benefit thous-
ands of white collar" employees who
additionally have gone uncompen-
stated for extra work, and even now
are on a schedule requiring from
five to nine hours OF overtime weekly.
Under the Senate bill, the statu-
tory work week of thirty-nine hours
actually will become forty-four, with
the last four hours compensate at
the increased rate. Most establish
ments have been working forty-four
hours since the war started, and

partments, are on = rty-eisht-hour

THE ENCOMPASSING WITNESSES
By the Right Req. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. ILL., d. T. D.,
Bishop OF Washington.

In the calendar of the Christian year
no day has a deeper or more precious
significance than All Saints Day, which
falls on November /. 1t was of this holy
day that James Russell Lowell wrote:
lone feast above all others
I, though no churchman, love to keep"
Through the long centuries this day
has been set apart to commemorate
those whom we have loved and lost
awhile; lost, not in the sense that they
have ceased to be, but lost in that we
no longer share their fellowship on
earth.
There is a passage in the Epistle to
the Hebrews that suggests the prevail
ing influence and inspiration OF those
whose earthly pilgrimage is ended. In
the 18th chapter of this remarkable
Epistle, the writer speaks Of those who
have attained the rewards Of service
faithfully and heroically accomplished.
After a graphic recital of their self
sacrificing lives, he sums up the record
with these words: wherefore, seeing
we also are comprised about with so
great cloud of witnesses, let us lay
aside every weight and the sin which
doth so easily beset us, and let us run
with patience the race that is set before
us" In this eloquent passage he con-
tends that living men are given fresh
ened impulse to pursue with fidelity
their course, confident Of ultimate at
tainment, because of the prevailing pres
ence of those who have gone before.
1t is a lofty conception and true one.
The strong influences that sustain us,
the inspiration to life of self-sacrifice
and service is impaired to us by the
cloud of witnesses who have earned the
reward of service well done.
AS we contemplate the persuasive in
fuences that shape and determine our
course, we are compelled to reckon with
personalities. past and present. 1t may

Debt Reduction

Department of Commerce figures,
which reveal marked decline in the
volume of outstanding consumer
debt, provide gratifying evidence that
the American people are devoting
part of their increased income to
the liquidation of Indebtedness AS
one of the seven points In his cam
paign against imitation, the President
last April called for greater indi-
vidual savings and the repayment of
debt.
Consumer short term debt, which
reached a peak of $9,72O,0 100000 at
the end of September, 1941, had de-
clined to ST .102 100000 by the end Of
July-a reduction of $2,618,0O0, 900
during a period of ten months. In
July, the volume of consumer debt
dropped 100000, or per cent.
This reduction included drop of
$225,000,000 in installment debt
againt durable goods sales, and de-
cline of $4,000 900 in the volume Of
charge accounts. For the ten month
period as a whole, installment sales
debt showed the largest shrinkage-
from about $4,000 100000 in Sep
TENDER, 1941, to 50 ,256 900 900 in July.
This downward trend in consumer
debt is a development of great i'm
portance For it shows that much Of
the increased purchasing power Gre
ated by war expenditures has been
diverted into debt repayment, instead
Of being used as a lever to raise the
level of prices, and by the same token
it shows that many Americans are
devoting part of their increased earn
ings to place themselves in q better
position to meet the burden of war
taxes and q possible drop in income
after the war.

cite some outstanding examples.

ees have completed courses here
and current enrolment is heavy. It
would have been most unfortunate
had this undertaking suffered seri-

be that personalities of the past exercise
a more dominant influence upon our
thought and action than those who in
the present closely touch our lives. Strik-
ing illustrations of this are disclosed in
the lives of the good and the great.
Lincoln's frequent references to the in
f1uence of his angel mother" and Presi-
dent Wilson's turning ever to the spirit
of his Scotch-Irish father, are notable
instances. There are few men and
women but hold in the treasury of men,
DRY certain strong and vibrant per-
sonalities who, long absent, still exercise
their controlling influence over thought
and action. While we yield to the
strong and persuasive personalities that
still companion with us, we are, never
theless, subject to the cloud of wit

pilgrimage. There is deep truth in the
lines Of the poet:
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe

Sir Oliver Lodge, the great physicist,
was confirmed in his belief that the
spirit of his son Raymond, killed in
battle, was with him throughout the
latter years of his life.
Expressed in one form or another
down through the long ages, men have
cherished the comforting belief that
they were "compassed about with great
cloud of witnesses
And when the strife is fierce, the war

Steals on the ear the distant triumph

The Story

Inc oCOTy
Everybody has heard the story. 1t
has become one of the immortal in
cidents of the Second World War.
The date was September 20. A Nazi
plane flew over village in Southeast
England and dropped bomb on a
council school. Three adults-the
headmaster and his assistants-and
20 boys under IL years of age
were killed. One single trench
was dug in the churchyard for the
reception of the bodies. The Bishop
of Chichester preached from the
text: Jesus called little child unto
Him and said: whatsoever shall
offend one of these little ones, it
were better for him that milestone
were hung about his neck and he
were drowned in the depths of the
sea-"
Everybody knows so much Of the
story. But there is detail which
has not been mentioned with suff1-
Gent emphasis. Searchers of the
ruins of the school found among the
rubble book bearing the title: 1.-THE
Deeds of Heroes" It was a volume
unfamiliar to American readers, such
a work as Henry Newbolt or John
Buchan might have penned for the
inspiration of young Britons OF a
time which strangely should be worse
than their own. Turning its pages, a
lad might find the continuity to
which all English lads-and all their
Yankee cousins-belong. Between its
covers he reasonably might expect to
meet St. Alban, the earliest martyr;
King Arthur and the Knights of the
Table Round, Robin Hood and his
Merry Men, Alfred the Great. the
Black Prince and Richard the Lion
Hearted, Raleigh and Drake, Crom-
well, Nelson and wellington; Captain
Cook in the Pacific and Give
and Havelock in India, Scott and
Evans and Oates at the South Pole,
Lawrence in Arabia and many, many
other valorous souls. There should
be girls and women there, also
Grace Darling and Florence Night
ingale and Edith Cavell Some Of
the heroes and heroines might be
"just Imaginary Crusoe,
for example, and Sidney Carton, who
went to do a better thing" than
he had done. &. -.
Everybody is familiar with the
story in which all these noble and
well-beloved characters take part. 1t
is the chronicle of a race, and the
annals of the United States are in
timately related to it, grew out of it,
still remain attached to it. Nor is
there any doubt about the chapters
which now are being written. One
page for the council school in South
east England, one for Egypt, one for
the Solomons. Bind them together
and the result is victory and survival
and a cleaner world.
Everybody shares in that immortal
story. 1t is the people-all of them,
all the people of the civilized coun-
tries, all the people who toll and fight
and suffer not for themselves but for
their brothers-it is the heroes of
that devoted sort that are destined to
prevail. God is not Knocked. The
heavens declare not merely His glory.
Each star-each risen spirit-testifies
to His justice and His Righteousness.

from which an enemy can be struck
1t is important to know these things
because the war is in period of transit
ton so far as the United States is con-
cerned
In the past, the generals and admirals
conveniently could blame the American
people for their defeats. They could ar
que that American industry and Ameri-
can workers failed to provide them with
the quantity of arms that they require.
In the future, the generals and admirals
themselves will be held accountable for
results. They have been provided with
great. quantities of new equipment,
greater quantities than are being pro-
vided for the generals and admirals OF
any other nation on earth.
Military decisions account for the way
this material is being divided. Those de-
cisions determine the proportion OF new
equipment that is retained inside the
United States, the proportion that goes
| to American bases scattered at points
all around the world and the proportion
that goes to Russia and to other areas
of active fighting.
If war output is broken up into enough
segments, and then scattered around
enough places, even a colossal total pro-
duction will appear small in relation to
the job to be done. That fact needs to be
understood in appraising the results that
| are obtained from the immense quantity
| OF weapons now being produced by the
United States. So long as those weapons
