UPON BEING AMERICAN

If you've read any of the many
articles written on front line ac-
tivities you are better acquainted
this year than last on the meaning
of american" With tragedy and
change offered for security and
normally the man who fights or
views it can picture best what
America means. 1t embodieS the
three branches of government,
covering protection by armed fore
es, including national treasury and
the wealth of the land, maintain
ing organizations representing the
working classes and protecting the
interests of capital, education and
all the other comforts of demo-
cratic government for the citizens
welfare. To him it means the home
town paper is not governed by
propaganda, that he can speak to
his neighbors freely and openly
without fear, that he can worship
in any church of his choice and
his children will be given liberal
educations in schools that will train
them on the rights and principles
of citizenship. The list is long,
the privileges numerous, the prod
ucts of the system who uphold its
: convictions, many. Yet there is
often raised the question whether
under the surface of the individ-
ual, those who are not fighting
from fox holes and jungle-tangled
swamps, if under the coating the
man is an American first and a
Republican or Democrat second,
and American first or an isola-
ZIONIST second, an American first
and a labor union advocate second,
an American first and race preju- |
dices second! If all of these fac
tors which enter our lives and
which affect us are major inter-
ests, if the interest is for these
things to be purged, advocated, |
advertised, victorious, first, then
are we Americans in the same !;
sense as Russian, Chinese, an
Englishman IN HIS COUNTRY
There is the appropriate first
things first to answer this.
To the boy out there fighting for
America, it means praying for an
end to this war, victory that he
might return to take up the base
ball mask and put down the gas
mask, to press an accelerator on
the family bus, to yell "Mom,
what's cooking" maybe NOW some
of the grass befor supper, dash
to the cleaners for the Sunday
suit to return home for the show
er and shave for the Saturday
night date. Seems not much when
compared with words of freedom
of assembly, of speech, of the press
and of religion, but to those boys
the sound of church bells on Sum
day morning, the squeaky lawn
mower next door, the plop of the
newspaper as it hits the porch, the
honk of pals auto horn, the smell
of cooking from the home kitchen,
the kiss of his youngster off to
bed, the smile of a wife when you
say "where in the heck did you
put it." yells at football game,
to him that IS AMERICAN, it's
what you mean by the pursuit of
happiness and he is fighting to

the feeling that they are having

Food Shippers 10 Receive
Transport Priority in '44
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomlcs, in a report to farmers on
1914 transportation prospects, said
yesterday it is questionable. whether
railroads and trucks will be able to
handle a prospective increase in in
dustrial and farm production.
Both forms of transporta ton. the
report said, are beset with problems
Of shortages of manpower and equip
ment. But it added that food Ship
pers surely would get preference.
The general motor transport out
look for 1914" the bureau said, lis
less favorable than actual conditions
have been in 1943. 1t is also more
critical than the railroad prospect
There will be a very consid.
cradle net decrease in the number
OF motor vehicles engaged in privat.
and commercial service by the enc
iof 1914, as compared with 1943."

Catholic Charities
Will Arrange Rites
For Mrs. Robinson
Burial Probably
Will Be in Mount
Olivet Cemetery

The burial of Mrs. Charlotte w.
Robinson, whose body mas lain un-
claimed at the Morgue since she
was shot to death last Tuesday, will
be arranged by Catholic Charities,
1t was learned today.
A spokesman for the Community
War Fund agency said Catholic
Charities claimed the body because
"she was said to be a Catholic and
she died friendless"
Police had made unsuccessful at
tempts to locate friends or relatives
who would claim the body. Mrs.
Robinson's parents are in Germany
and her eX-husband is in Leaven-
worth Penitentiary.
Catholic Charities said that in
the absence of friends or relatives
the agency would arrange for a
suitable private burial" probably
IN Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Mrs. Robinson's body was trans
ferred last night from the Morgue
to the P. J. Saffel funeral home at
ATS H street NV. Funeral arrange
ments have not been completed.

which lasted less than an hour.
Chief of Detectives Robert Barrett
said Mergner would not be arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Needham c. Turnage, who contin-
ued the arraignment proceedings
from last Tuesday because he said
Mergner was in no condition to be
arraigned at that time Chief Bar
rett explained the action of the
coroner's jury was all that was nee
esSary to hold the man, charged
with first-degree murder.

Census Expert Says D. {.
Will Hold Population

Pointing out that in 143 years
Washington's population has never
declined. DR.. Phillip M. Hauser, as
sistant director of the Census Bu-
reau, today predicted the District S
population in 1850 will be substan-
TALLY the same as it is now.
While an exodus of war workers
is expected with the coming of
peace. DR.. Hauser said this loss prob
ably would be offset by the eventual
return to Washington of war-decen-
tralized agencies and the postwar
organizations
Only during the Hoover admins
tration did Washington's population
remain static.
