Wounded Pilot Gives Life
So Friend Can Land in Chute

German gunner had wounded the
British pilot and set one of his
engines afire.
Il suggested bailing out into the
sea-" said the observer but Lofty
replied through clenched teeth,
hang on Bit
For 81 minutes we flew over the
sea after the combat and not until
he knew that I could come down on
land did Lofty order me to bail out.
Just as we saw the coast, our
second engine caught fire. Just
before I jumped I heard Lofty say,
Best OF luck, good by

Held Basis for
|nvestig CATION
Inquiry to Be Held
By Grand Juries
In Nine Cities

B, the Associated Press.
The Justice Department, it was
learned today, is prepared to
launch a grand jury investiga-
ton centering in nine cities
which will cover the entire
transportation industry rail-
roads, motor carriers, waterways
and airlines.
The investigation is to open with
presentation of evidence before a
grand jury in Chicago October l, it
was said, Plans are understood to
call for additional grand jury in
vestigations in New York, Washing
ton, Atlanta, New Orleans, Denver,
Kansas City, st. Louis and San
Francisco
The inquiry will be concerned pri-
marily, it was said, with alleged in
f1uence of the railroads over the de-
velopment of competitive transpor-
tatlon services, such as airline
transports and motor freight car
rlers. Reference was made by one
source to the exclusive contract bS
Railway Express Agency and the
major airlines which requires that
air package shipments be handled
through Railway Express, which is
owned by some 80 railroads.
Virtually every association in the
transportation industry will figure in
the inquiry informed persons said.
The investigation was understood
to have been prompted by reports of
transportation congestion and delay
involving the war effort and it was
learned that the inquiry program
had been discussed with the War and
Navy Departments, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the Office of
Defense Transportation. the Civil
Aeronautics Board, the Office of
Price Administration aand the Agri-
culture Department.
None OF these agencies has inter-
posed any objections, # was said,
thus clearing the way for prosecu-
ton II the grand jury should re-
turn indictments.
Both passenger and freight trans
portatlon is to be covered by the
inquiry.
One informed person expressed
the view that the investigation
would involve by far the largest
segment of industry ever to be
brought under Justice Department
scrutiny at one time.

Unforgettable Job

In recent release the War Department said: Shippers of war material and rall- roads are doing an outstanding job in the utilization of railroad equipment" Back of that brief statement is a record of transportation achievement that is uIl-. equaled in history It is record of vast obstacles surmOunted = and of Skept1cS confounded. It is a testimonial to what private enterprise can, do in time of ul1- precedented crisis.
 Week after week, freight shipments have been at record and near-record levels Week after week, tens of thou sands of soldiers and sailors have had to be transported from one part of the cou- try to another. Week after week, an ever- mounting volume of war supplies has been moved to Naval stations, Army bases, and to points of embarkation for Europe, Australia, Africa and the other war fronts. sx And, on top of all this, the needs of the civilian population have had to be met. The doubters said, long ago, that all this could not be done-Said that the railroads would break down. But 1t has been done and it is being done, with out delay, without waste, without con- geStion or confusion
 Railroad cars are not used as ware houses, dS I1lCy Wc1S III WOAAu wal because, years back, the railroads get to- gether with shippers and laid plans for meeting just such an emergency as we are in today. Changed and increased sched- ules have not caused disruption - be- cause the American railroads have the finest management, the finest equipment, ad the finest crews on earth. The rail- roads have shown us what flexibility of transportation really means. They have proven themselves able to adapt them selves to any contingency as, for ex- ample, when they took over the transpor- tation of oil after a large part of our tanker fleet was transferred or sunk. To day, about 750,000 barrels of oil day are rolling into the East by rail = over 50 times the normal railroad volume. That is the kind of a job that will not be for gotten.

Red Browder Rides Again

We have returned to normalcy. Earl Browder, secretary general of the Com- muniSt party in the United States, again Es telling us how to manage our affairs. It would be more courteous than truth Iul to say that we had missed MT. Brow derS voice since he was confined in federal penitentiary for deliberate, re- peated violation of federal statutes. Truth to tell, we had been getting on quite well. There were flaws, some serious, in the con- duct of our war effort, but none which had deteriorated since we were deprived of MT. Providers guidance.
 For example, here and there local unions had been conducting silly but vi- ciouS outlaw strikes, slowdowns, "vaca- tions." and similar unfortunate inter- ferenceS with the production of badly needed armament This, many of us think, was inexcusable under present cir cumstanceS But surely that was not for lack of MT. Providers personal attention. Because his Communist party for more than two years deliberately instigated strikes in key war industries for the pur- pose of slowing down our armament man. ufacture.
 Why did Mr. Browder want to prevent us from making arms? Because they were for use against Adolf Hitler, then the ally of Russia. Perhaps MT. Browder person. ally did not instruct Communist units to promote such strikes Perhaps all he knew about them was what he read in the newspapers.
 It is a matter of court record, however, that MT. Browder made several trips to Russia. It is officially established that, in order not to make a record ot those trips, he used phony names in procuring passports, for which he was convlcted III federal court and sent to the peMtentlary. There are plenty of men available who will swear that they saw MT. BroWder Tn attendance at the Comintern's "unlVerSl- hes'' where sabotage, espionage, ana other methodology of world revolution was taught to party agents stationed m capitaliSt nations.
 For the world, we wouldn't be unchar- table. but Earl Providers record does not inspire trust. We feel that the democratic peoples can get along quite well without his advice and assistance. Obviously, Red Browder is not constrained by any sense of shame to hide his head in oblivion He Insists upon foisting himself upon puo- lie that is interested in nobler things. Well, we're not helpless. We have ready recourse. We can ignore MT. BroWders advice completely, and look to those whose line does not switch on orders rom foreign government.

Remember the Boys

Thoughts of Christmas aren't upper most at this season of the year, but if you have relatives or friends in service, par ticularly at bases outside of this country, now is the time to think of their Christ mas presents. In order to handle the great volume of mail anticipated author ities are urging everyone to mail their Christmas remembranceS during the month of October If they don't the ul- tinate recipient may not get the cards or the gifts in time, provided, of course, the mail does get through to it's objective
 There are any number of different ways in which the boys at the fighting fronts can be remembered. If you are close relative or friend you'll know just about what they need most or want through their communications. However, recent ly men in the service took poll on gifts, labelling them "swell", "fair', and junk" in the order of preference. On top of the percentage list, from a Navy standpoint, were waterproof wrist-watches. They ranked 89.7 per cent.
 Topping the Army's list of desirable gifts were cigarettes with rating of 79.4. Next on the Army's list came the water proof wrist-watcheS at 75.7 per cent. Small portable radios were also well up among favOrite gifts, as were leather wallets with insignia inscribed on them, good regula- ton shirts, and socks, pen and pencil sets with clips at the top, windproof cigarette lighters, stationery Qor the men at seal, overnight bags, photographs of friends or family in unbreakable frames. Sun-glaSs- es were In some favor, while Bibles were about 50 per cent demand, as were oth- CT religious articles.
 There were many other wants, such as homemade foodstuffs, magazine sub- scrlptlons, books, toilet kits, handker- chiefs, shoe-brushes, playing cards, crib bape boards, chess sets, checkers, flash lights. sewing kits, diaries, first-aid pack eis, slippers, robes, portable photographs, records, sleeveless sweaters, razor blade sharpeners, gloves, mufilers, unnreakaole mirrors. etc. So there you are fond friends and sollcitous relatives. Maybe you can pick from these items one or two with which to make some absent soldiers Nnk|gtmas mekrleE one,

Once again we must take exception to Mayor LaGuardia'S course of action In striking at gamblers. Some days ago the New York City mayor urged children to report to him if their fathers were gambling, such as playing slot-machines, wagering on the horses, etc. Now the mayor has invited victims of gamblers to report their losses to him. The mayor will in turn sue the gamblers and recover any monies lost to book-makers, etc. All of which isn't, to our way of thinking, the right way to beat the problem. In the first place the mayor ought to go little harder on the gambling victims and not make them feel as if they were oppressed. Most of these victims are victims simply because they wanted to take chance on getting rich quick". It isn't necessary for them to gamble and they are doing so of their own free will. If they didn't think they had a sure thing they wouldn't bet on the horses If they didn't think they could beat the gambler they wouldn't wager on the turn of the dice or card. Mayor LaGuardia ought to spend more time scolding the gambling public II ne wants to have his campaign succeed.

solemn. and a need for quiet and self recollection, without which can cannot realize the meaning of my life. I cannot, therefore. support the opinion of those who would not let children take part in grown-ups' services till they to some extent understand them. The important thing is not that they shall under. stand, but that they shall feel something of what is serious and solemn. The fact that the child sees his elders full of devotion, and has to feel something of their devotion himself. that Is what gives the serv- ice It's meaning for him."
 The absence of children from the modern church service is an alarm ing symptom of spiritual weakness and lack of wisdom on the part of many parents. Sunday school al- tendance can never be enough. Ail Rights Reserved -Bnbson News- paper Syndicate
