A Real American

HE other daV at San Francisco the famed society OF
l Nati'e Sons of the Golden West bestowed upon
William Randolph Hearst the gold badge emblematc of
80 years membership that unique patriotic organiza

Speakers at the gala dinner which was the setting
for the ceremony naturally dwet upon the war and the
honored members special relation to current events
And thereby brought to the fore of the most
complete instances of prophet indicated and monitor
justified.
Mr.. Hearst has had somewhat stormy career in the
5Oodd years in which he has been outstanding figure
among coorful American newspaper publishers. He has
been praised and blamed, and admired
But no man has ever been able to say that he has
not held the vision of Americas greatness, that he
has ever failed to take stand for strengthening the
arms Of the nation that it might be able to stand
against any enemy combination of enemies.
is voice raised constantly and vigorously against
the pacfs delusion which, after the last war, brought
about the scrappng of much of and naugurated
20year period Of unpreparedness which left us at last
to face with inadequate arms the very enemies of which
he had Yarned
His championship of the Of aviation made him
the chief defender of the thesis of the late Gen. Billy
Mitchell who smashed by the brass hats of the MORT
bund army because he contended that airpanes would
win the next and dared to give evidence supporting
his prophecy
Mr.. Hearst was one of the few who in the days
when Americans deluded enough to believe in the
good intentions of everybody singled out the Japs as

a sacred obligation to our armed
forces 10 maintain the country
as free AS when they left on the
great adventure.
To foist prohibition, with all
its many evils, on us during their
absence is just plain alliance
with Hitler.
The brewers are more than
anxious 10 do their part and il
is not only refreshing. but most
encouraging 10 have great
newspaper like the Times recog-
nize this fact.

TO THE EDITOR:
I'VE searched high and low for
L scrap iron. There is a side
track that I do not believe has
been used for Is years.
The location OF that side track
Is in McGraw near Wesson. II
is hardly noticed unless looked
at the second time.

TO THE EDITOR:
AS A RESIDENT upstate,
"A spending few days in De-
troit. I am impressed by the
strenuous campaign being waged
by the newspapers to collect all
scrap metal possible for the war
effort. There is one thing lack
ing. however.
A short time ago I made a
business trip TO Washington.
Baltimore, New York and other
eastern cities. Passing at least
a dozen manufacturing establish
ments on the train. I was
shocked to see the plies OF scrap
metal laying in their yards.
rusting and decaying because
this metal was exposed TO the
weather.
Old car couplings, pieces OF
steel rails. old automobile bodies
and metal in countless other
forms, consigned 10 the eie-
ments.
II the government can con-
fiscate the time and the liberty
of our young men, which OF
course is necessary in wartime.
why can il not also do the same
thing 10 this scrap metal?

TO THE EDITOR:
7 OTIS of people in Detroit and
IL Dearborn wonder just why
the sailors and soldiers always
hang around bars.
Well, most of us are strangers
and don's know what to do or
where to go.
l talked with lots of boys here
at camp and they all wonder
what is there to see and do here
in Detroit
i am a Chicago boy and back
in Chicago we have a little book
that is published called. What
10 Do and See in Chicago" I've
looked for a similar book in De-
troit but there are none 10 be
found.
In this book you could list all
the bathrooms, skating Kinks,
theaters, parks. important build
ings. night clubs, hotels, restau-
rants and other places Of inter-
est and entertainment.
There are all SORTS OF nauon-
alities in the armed forces.
There were lots of us looking for
restaurants where we could get
food that is cooked the way 1t is
at home.
I've been here four months
now and I've thought about this
but / didn't know who TO turn To
or whom to write to about il. I
understand your paper is the

Tells About HE North
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

Tells About The North
BY BENJAMIN DE CASSERES
THE pith and marrow Of il:
Il Lying up at the top OF
North America, A faska has
always seemed like frozen
waste, continental dead-end.
II led nowhere, and to most
Americans IL seemed In itself a
kind Of nowhere. But this year
Alaska came face to face with
its destiny"
That is what Jean Potter says
in Alaska Under Arms MAC
Millan). It's a fine book about
our up-north Cinderella, soon TO
become a fully armed Amazon,

Another book on Alaska that
7 recommend is The Time OF
My Life" by DR.. Harry c. de-
ViChne Lippincott. Doctor De
Nighnc tells us his doings from
the time. as a shaver. he saw

when he delivered his 2,000th
baby in Alaska. A salty, racy
hook, TO be taken as dessert TO
Jean Potter's more factual tome.
A Jump from Alaska to Brazil
without spraining my back.
Frontier by Air" by Alice
Rogers Hager (MacMillan), is
all about Brazil and the develop
ment Of aviation in Latin Amer
lea. Plenty of adventure here,
besides pen pictures of President
Vargas and the men who sur
round him.
MORE pith and marrow:
IV1 Klaus Mann. the son of
Thomas Mann, the German self
eXpatriated novelist. has written
an autobiography of his vivid 80
years in Europe and America, TO
which country he came in 1927.
Herr Klaus can write better
than his dad. He is plain. direct,
unaffected. There is none of the
German pseudo=mystical mish-
mash in his pages that passes for
"profundity" among naive re-
viewers-and which you will find
i'm his fathers works. Herr

"WHEN ! hear some one talk

play a German junker's con-
tempt for all the evidences OF
the old life OF Europe of the last
500 years.

little of the record of that old
life. although how much of the
cathedrals and public buildings
which most especially showed
that record will remain is
thought 10 make the heart sick.
Some of the best ideas of what
we know about the health and
disease conditions. the life OF the
physician, and of the priest
physician of the middle ages has
been preserved in the stone carv-
ings of the Gothic cathedrals.
Art often has inspired medical
discovery and medical life has
often inspired art.

BACK ROAD WOULD
TAP SOURCES OF INDIA
The opening up of this alterna-
tive route from Calcutta, if it
can be done In time, would bring
the vas tresources and man power
of India directly to the Chinese
fighting front. In the last few
years India has developed quite
an ornaments industry In every
thing except the biggest guns
and airplanes. What they have
right now. backed by trained SOL
diers, would be Of great aid TO the
United Nations.
Russia is China's other big
source of war supplies, if the Bur-
ma Road is cut by the Japanese.
Some material has been and still
is coming in by two long and de-
vious routes from Siberia through
north China. Ironically enough,
the recent supplies consist Of
booty captured by the Soviets
from retreating German armies.
Among these shipments are
German Mauser rifles, machine
guns, 81 mm anti-tank guns and
SO nm. anti-aircraft guns, which
the Germans sometimes use as
field guns. The Russians have lit
tie use for this material, because
their own factories are geared up
for the production Of munitions
for Russian made rifles and guns.
Fortunately for the Chinese in
this crisis. their armies were
trained some years ago by Ger
man army officers, and as result
ChinaS soldiers are experienced
in handling German guns. There
are actually numerous little fac
tories scattered around China
that make ammunition TO fit these
captured Nazi weapons.
