veloped. those first gunshots had
wounded the detective, and the
officer berated himself for not
coming out of the closet with
gun in hand. He was not hurt
badly; indeed he helped Duane
carry the prisoner downstairs.
Duane's blow with the pottery
penny bank had been a thump-
ing good one!
Blythe had a feeling, next, of
being shouted at by a thousand
happy people. Summers of the
Journal had questions. Lou
mann and Natwick, the movie
men, were raving about con-
tracts and new picture ideas.
Scooter Hale and his puppy
Link were running in circles,
and everybody else had this and
that to say. For her part,
Blythe wanted to see Duane.
Somehow she just wanted to see
him, and talk to him, and try TO
make him understand that she
had thought only Of his happi-
ness, always.
BY this time Pop Miller was
rounding up all his football
players who were present.

Worthy of Our Soldiers

 The ArInys chief of ordnance Mai Gen Levin H. Campbell, Jr., has gone to some length answering criticisms of the guns and tanks being built for use of American and other United Nations soldiery
 His recent discussion at Salisbury, N O. deserves emphasis because he as specific as, under war conditions. an Army spokesman could be asked to be.
 For that reason he was convincing. And this is time when want, and need, to be convinced that our weapons ammunition and tanks are wor- thy of our soldiers" a 4ae

 It is not true, said this expert flatly that the German Mark " tank carries 8S-mlimeter cannon The gun is low velocity 75-millimeter weapon. The high velocity cannon of equal caliber ln our own M-3 tanks be fired while the tank IS in motion-which the Nazi weapon cannot-and will blast big holes in a Hun tank at distances at "lNh eheHy WedpoIS cannot reach our tanks at all

 We outmatch this gun with several of our field and anti-tank guns. We, too, have double purpose weapons They are heavier in fire power they possess higher muzzle velocity and carry greater explosive charges than the German 88-milimeter gum
 This is the sort of news which can propely be given to an anxious public without aiding the enemy

STALINGRAD

The famous last ditch stand which the Russians are making for the city which is named after their leader is becoming more of a miracle every day.
 It is putting it mildly to say that the Germans have thrown every ounce of power than they can muster against the great Volga baston in the last week. But still the city stands.
 Even if the city should fall today, and that event has been expected for weeks the battle for Stalin grad will stand out as of the greatest struggles of this any other
 The fight for Moscow last year was in the semi final class compared to this epic battle. More than 100000 humans involved in the struggle This is the horror artists dream of modern combat come true.
 If the dispatches from Russia true invad- ing force can keep up such terrific onslaught as the Germans have done in the last several weeks and fail to suffer for it. If the Red Army can con- tnue to hold the Naz Legions at bay in this battle and force them to turn back for winter once again, the necessity for second front may not be so acute

WE STILL BUY GOLD

How delicate the pro- Nazi situa- ton Is among the Boers of South Africa is illustrated by the fact that the United States is still bly- ing gold from South Africa and ourying it in the ground at Ft Knox.
 For some time various govern ment officials have proposed that we cut off the purchase of gold. since 1t is now considered the most useless metal in the world. How ever, the State Department has said no.
 The State Department warns that that If gold purchases were cut off South African gold mines would close down and there would be la- DOT unrest which would unset the war effort. Also it might unseat General Jan Shuts, chief friend ot Great Britain in South Africa
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-09-15

Who is not having an easy time of 1t. In addition to India. the $ te Department believes we should keep helpful eye on this part of the British Empire.
 However Milo Perkins, head of the Board of Economic Warfare, has pointed out that in addition 10 gold, South Africa is rich in tre- mendous quantities of chrome and other valuable ores vitaHy needed in the U.S.A- So he has proposed buying these ores from South Af- rica instead of gold. 39
 The State Department was not exactly happy about this suggest ion' but Perkins got around it by sending a gold expert" to South Africa. However, it was carefully and quietly arranged that the "gold expert" should also be an expert on chome and other ores.o He will LOOK into these while he is ii, South Africa. K

 It was impossible, she told the doctor. Rules of the nurses union would not permit her to put in the two extra hours except in case of emergency an emergency being defined referring only to a patient who had just arrived at a hospital Had that condition been satisfied she could have worked the overtime at $2 hour.

 The Germans claimed long ago that they had iso- lated Stalingrad by cutting the lone rail connection between it and Moscow and by bombing shipping on the Volga River. But late dispatches tell of fresh Russian tank units reaching the beeaguered city and also fresh troops.

 Instead, the Roosevelt Adminis- tration he says has played into the hands of the big oil companies, who don't want competition from the farmers in making synthetic rubber after the war is over.
 What Gerald L. K. Smith has to say about the bungling of syn thetic rubber has a great deal of truth in it. And the public knows it.
 So Smith has pounded home this simple issue, which every child can understand, at hundreds of cross roads up and down the state of Michigan. Speaking sometimes to ten communities a day, he has or ganized automobile owners, with a captain in each community, on the promise that he will get Tires for Everybody"
