u. ). Airmen Watch
Dakar as TheyFIy
Over Atlantic
BroziI-to-Africo Trip
Keeps Men on Alert
For Nozi lnterceptors
By HENRY J. TAYLOR,

War CORRESPONDENT of The Star and North
American Newspaper Alliance
AT A WEST AFRICAN PORT,
July At was important for us to
know where Dakar was every mo-
ment as We flew the Atlantic from
Brazil to Africa at night.
The Nazis have their Focke-
Wulfe bombers and fast interceptors
on jungle airfield runways around
Dakar, and you want to be sure to
cut your radio contact with your
African shore base when you get in
range of these enemy craft.
Every American airman in this
part of the world would certainly
feel better il, somehow, those Nazi
airfelds were cracked. But as things
stand, the best that can be done is
to give Dakar wide berth and keep
off the tell-tale air waves so that
the Nazis operating the giant an
tennae at the LuftWaffe wireless
station cannot pick you up in its
direction finders. That's what the
American boys in our plane did.
Farm Boy at Earphones.
A farm boy from Wisconsin sat
at the earphones in our plane. An
insurance broker from New York
climbed along the catwalk inside the
wing and made delicate adjustments
on the number engine which had
been taught him by schools of the
United States Army Air Force. A
clear-eyed, two-fisted, tough minded
ex-salesman from Virginia flew this
ship at the controls. And this fight
ing American was flying what is
unquestionably the finest piece of
large-scale machinery in the sir to-
day-it was made on our Pacific
Coast.
These men and this machine.
turned suddenly from peace by the
evil thing called Naziism, are Amer
lea at war. Together they are the
best fighting unit in the world.
It was tough run on the take
off in Brazil There was a bad
cross wind. Our load was very
neavy and we bucked a head wind
as soon as We got in the air. We
climbed into. an overcast sky,
headed for mid-Atlantic as the sun
was setting in the vapors of the
smoldering jungle behind us. The
clouds over the sea we're gray and
ugly. Darkness came quickly and
there was not a break through to
the stars above.
We came down low, close to the
angry, frothing Atlantic. The
propellers charged the blasts of
heavy air, tore through them with
something of the strain OF horses
running up hill. Tossing about
in close quarters of an airplane is
an eerie feeling when you are in
the blackness over the sea.
Haze Turned to Fog.
The haze turned into light fog
as we flew close to the long, rolling
waves. Then, as the night wore
on, the fog lifted and we climbed
steadidly higher in the clear and
quiet Heaven. mounted the
narrow ladder to the plexiglass
blister, looking out on all sides
from the top of the ship. Strapped
in this seat, 1000 miles at sea over
the equator, you felt as. though
you had entered the world of time
and space, beyond all mortal life
except your own.

German Censorship
Eased 10 Tell People
OF Raid Damage
Reich Newspapers Print
Fuller Accounts Since
RAF Attacks on Cologne
PS the Associated Press.

PS the Associated Press
- BERN, Switzerland, July A.
Germany, relaxing a strict press
censorship, finally is beginning
to tell her people of the damage
caused by repeated RAF raids on
the Rhineland and Ruhr districts
in three years of war, especially
the mass raids of 1912.
Hitherto, German accounts were
confined chiefly to newspapers in
the areas concerned, but since the
bombing of Cologne, papers through
out the country have taken up the
discussion.
Foreign correspondents in Berlin
were requested not to report one
article which appeared in Berlin
under the title Crime against
Cologne"
10000 Raids on Germany.
The articles, by stressing the ne
cessity for preparedness, implied
that Germany expected continued
heavier raids in a British effort, as
the Munich Nachrichten said, ito
destroy the economy of the indus
trial heart of the Reich
An Essen paper urged workers to
persevere IF weapons are to roll
toward the front, now as before,
from the Rhine and Ruhr district,
arms center and traffic division
noint pf the Reich "
This paper said there had been
10000 raids on Germany, that
some towns had had more than 300
alarms and that some had expert
enced alarms on 36 successive
nights.
The National Zeitung of Essen ac-
knowledged considerable damage
to dwellings and other civilian prop
erty, but said damage to military
objectives by comparison was rela-
lively much less.
Public Urged Not to Flee.
A Munich newspaper drew atten-
ton to a high command appeal.
which it said was generally adhered
to, asking the public not to draw
conclusions as to the extent of mill
tary damage.
Other newspaper articles told the
people they must avoid mass flights
from bombed towns, declaring-as
did the Munich Nachrichten-that
this was one of the RAF objectives.
Churchill will not succeed" the
paper said.
One correspondent described how
passengers on his train along the
Rhine told of nights of terror under
raids, but added that "the resistance
and will of the population is not
broken"

The Presidents S conference today

White House Secretary Stephen T.

BALTIMORE, July 4.-The dawn
of a new era of naval warfare was
proclaimed here today by Glenn H.
Martin. after watching his 40,000-
pound flying dreadnaught. the Mars,
rise off the water, light as bird,
and sail away in the sky.
The Mars. the biggest flying boat
in the world, was built for the Navy
and yesterday made a spectacular
and successful maiden fight.
Mr.. Martin declared that the
Mars is the prototype of the bat
tleship of tomorrow He said it is
the only capital" ship in the Navy
which need not fear torpedoes,
bombers nor fighter planes. He re-
vealed that the huge plane is de-
signed to mount guns of sufficient
range and power to give it the same
advantages of armament over the
fighter plane that the mighty bat
tleship enjoys over a destroyer.
you can't knock out a ship of
this size" he said.
Was Second Attempt.
Those who saw the Mars rise into
the haze which hung over Chesa-
peake Bay were left little f1abber-
bergasted. 1t was like seeing the
Washington Monument take Off and
fly away
There was a certain sense of re-
lief in the take-off, too, for those
who had built the ship. Last No
vember 8, when the maiden flight
was scheduled, one of the motors
went haywire just before the take
off and fire started. The giant
was towed back to the plant and
completely overhauled,
The plane took off after a
surprisingly short run-to spectators
it appeared that the 70 tons OF
metal lifted off the water within

We're Insured

Apparently the government isn't enough worried about the chance of bombing damage in Alaska cities to refuse to protect property owners against damage due to war action.
 At least the new War Insurance Corporation has extended it's activities to include this Territory, which may be seen as some indication that Uncle Sam looks upon his northern possession as comparatively safe from devastating raids by the enemy.
 Recommendation that Alaska be included in the pro visions of the insurance agency set up under the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, was made here recently by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. Word was first received last week that benefits of the Federal insurance set-up had been extended to the Territory
 With Jesse Jones' Federal Loan Administrator, at it's head. the War Insurance Corporation is provided with capital of S100000 000 to proVide reasonable protection against losses resulting from enemy attacks which may be sustained by owners of property * ;" through damage to- destruction of buildings, stfuc- lures and personal property including goods, growing crops and orchards
 Some items are not covered by the insurance No insurance is offered for the loss of accounts bills rency debts evidence of debt money notes securities, paintings and other objects of art Nor will protection be given to owners of property Who in the opinion of the President are unfriendy to the United States"
 Set up hurredly at the time of the outbreak of the war, the War Insurance Corporation has yet to pete details of it's organization. Eventually there pro- baby will be forms to fill out and declarations of pro- perty to be made the part of citizens who wish to ,ake advantage of this insurance Possibly, there will be nominal premiums to pay for the protection.
 For the time beng, however, premium will be charged for this protection and declaration re- ports required unless there is loss Jones announced
 This insurance is no guarantee for Alaska against attack by Japanese raiders. It might mean however, that government agencies, in extending provisions of he insurance to Alaska, feel the Territory is pretty good risk At least, we have not hear of the in- being offered citizens in Hawaii the Phil ippnes-Juneau Empire

Macarthur

Amid Far Eastern news almost consistently gloomy there stands out shining and magnifscent the battle being Waged by General Douglas Macarthur - the battle of Baan. It is difficult for laymen in civil life to realize what the heroic resistance of Macarthur and his men in the cold terms of physical sacrifice endurance courage and skill. Here is an army over WheImngly outnumbered, driven back and back until Manila itself was lost; army without planes, an army without visible signs of reinforcement
 Bear in mind too, that these men probably realize
 that their chance of reconquering the Philippines is remote. that the chances of being overwhelmed are far greater In short, all the odds are against them Yet they fight on doggedly bravely Daily come re- ports of charges made by the Japanese but MacAr- thur meets them counter attacks and successfully re capturing of the lost ground holding their own Here is the stuff of which history is made And to truly great general this nation pays daily grateful and sincere tribute.
 Every Jap gain is being paid for in terrific price Every day of delay means that much less Jap strength Shuhed to the Singapore area where the tide of battle IS even less encouraging And if there are no planes the ant-aircraft is doing mighty effective job; and there are six JapS to oneour boys have that many more targets. No matter what follows in this war no matter what exploits win the acclaim of the nation no American who lives through these times ever will forget the stand of MacArthur's Unconquerables

age of teachers. The draft and war industries have al ready taken a big slice out of enrolment and teaching staffs in high schools and colleges.
 6. There will of course be ] greater concentration on y0ational e d u c a tion to meet the needs of a nation 1t war. This program is al- 'eady far advanced, It is
 likely now that the govern nent will be asked 10 fin- ance many courses, such as engineering, physics and chemistry, and that the col leges will become designat ed training centers for such Army and Navy per 5onnel as the engineering corps, the chemical war fare service and the quar- termaster corps.
 2. The possible establish ment of nursery schools on a nationwide scale to care for the small children of mothers who are in indus try or war work.
 Add to all this the wide spread civilian morale ser vice which is gearing edu- cation from Kindergarten to doctors thesis to the conversion from a peace time culture to wartime economy, thought and ser vice. The three r's are now spelling it WAR.

Appointed by John w. Studebaker, U, S. Commission of Education at the request of Federal Security Ad mnisrator Paul " McNutt, the commission already is in high gear
The Nome nugget., 1942-02-13

Some of the things in immediate prospect are
 l. Reduction of the college to three and pos siby two and half years in order to give youth it's degrees and completed education before it is called into the army into civilian defense and wartime in- dusries This speedup has been going on in West Point and Annapolis for more than year AS in the case of those institutions, six day weeks full summer terms, and acceleration in all by stripping them of frills and nonessentas are expected to do the trick
 ?. A vast expansion of military training with full college credit for such work There has been hint that colleges and universities again will be converted into ulI-tme military institutions they by the Student Army Training Corps in the last war. How ever if it develops later that such drastic is necessary, the nucleus of the S. A. T. C. will be ready to again turn every fraternity house into barracks and college campuses into armed camps
 B. far greater emphasis on physical education with view to building every youth into the tough phys ical specimen that stand the rigors of in the field and at home, The report that million young have been deferred in the draft because of phys ical deficiencies has been considered alarming. An analysis of these deficiencies already is being made and physical education will be reVamped thru out to remedy them in tn youngsters coming up.
 f. An expansion of the Civilian Pilot Training Pro- gram and greater emphasis of turning out both pilots and aviation mechanics. This year, 700 colleges are taking advantage of the Civilian Aeronautics Admns trationS CPTP and turning out pilots with good basic training at the rate of 30000 year No goal has been set but it is known the CAA and the military forces would like to see this doubled and triped.

WPB ORDERS
PRODUCTION
STOPPED

The War Production Board has
ordered all production of refrig-
orators stopped as Of April 80 to
permit conversion of the entire
industry for war work.
This important order of WPB
will make the entire facilities of
the auto, radio and refrigerator
industry available to produce
material and equipment needed
on a dozen battle fronts right now.
Every refrigerator worker will
welcome the opportunity to do
his full share, as a soldier of pro-
duction, in the battle to save
democracy and freedom.
It will be the JOINT TASK of
MANAGEMENT and OUR UNION
to see that the conversion takes
place as quickly as possible, and
with the least amount of economic
dislocation,, and loss of income
to the employees affected.
We believe that if management
will cooperate fully with our
Union, in an aggressive program
of conversion, this problem will
be solved speedily and effectively.
Frigidaire management now
knows what the score is. There
is no longer any need for hesita-
ton, or questioning. The order
has been issued. Every effort
must be bent to carry through
our joint responsibilities to the
employees, and to our nation at
war, facing a ruthless enemy.
The UE has proposed a pro-
gram for swift, orderly, and effec-
tive conversion of the refrigerator
industry. This program has won
the support and respect of high
government officials, and irnpor-
tant newspaper columnists. We
urge the Frigidaire management
to work jointly with Local 8O1
