 He had failed in his physical examination because he was url- der weight = the same being due to the under-consumption of pro teins and other foodstuffs bearing the vitamin B-1 complexes. MT. Lee Grace had put forward plea, and the plea was heard, and the gasoline money with which MT. Lee Grace proposed to get him. self somehow, back to Waxhaw, S. C., went into steaks and pota- toes and leafy green vegetables in Baltimore restaurant whose cuisine does not entitle it to men, tion in these pages.
 Wherefore, abetted by new pounds of body tissue, Mitchell Grace won acceptance at the Naval Academy. (The record con- corning the return to Waxhaw of MT. LeeG race is not germane to this research.)
 Mitchell Grace labored with an admirable singleness of purpose. Like so many men born far from the sight of blue water, he had passion for blue. water, and his dreams held steady course upon such matters as tossing waves and swaying decks and winds that came nightly out of heaven. Wherefore Mitchell Grace led his classes, or come just short of lead- ing them,enyear safter3yeaT for all of the four.
 When graduation day came that fine day of speechmaking by the Navy's secretary and of tossed white hats in Bancroft. Hall, his place was high among the precious numbers. In addition, he had done mile in 4:11.6. In addition, he had been high-scoring forward on the basketaball team. In addition, he had been literary editor of The Anchor. But Mitchell Grace was not commissioned to the Line in the United States Navy.
 For such is the nature of; this formidable organization that cer- tain requirements. as rigid as the barrel of 8 16-inch turret gun, must be met by it's future of1lcers. Mitchell Grace's boring over books had made him put on eyeglasses. his strenuous training for, that mile of running had drawn him too fine to climb the rope in 40 seconds.
 So the gentlemen said he could not go to the Line, but was well come to the single ensign's strip of the Construction Corps. Which offer Mitchell Grace viewed scorn- fully, because he had wound his dreaming about the business of sailing in ships, net bending over blueprints of ships that one day would sail.
 1 And so it was that his scorn and his illustration brought him one fine day in 1940 to a listing on the manifest of Colonel Wesley Hope Merriwether's sailing yacht Dawn Shower. The listing was deck hand.'
 It had been, quite simple and ] natural after that. Mitchell Grace. even to the most preoccupied re- gard, was not of the common order of deck hands. There had been

THANKING THE PRESS
(Atlanta Journal)

Trice Administrator Prentiss Brown
spoke graciously Friday concerning the
superb effort made by the American press
to assist in the introduction of the point
rationing system. His words were generous,
but in our opinion were not beyond the de-
serts of the newspapers.
We speak not especially of the metro
politan press among which we include. our
selves The big dailies have resources and
equipment gagged for the production of
large editions, and to comply in full meas
ure with the Governments needs which was
to be expected as patriotic duty.
The Governments especial gratitude,
we think, is due to the smaller dailies and
weeklies which have been reeling under the
impact of war conditions. And it is pleas
ure to testify, from a close reading of the
Georgia press that the dailies of the small
towns and the county weeklies have given
without stint of their time and space.
Their advertising income has suffered
severely in recent months. Their costs OF
production have risen UNNECESSARILY. Most
of them are having hard time getting the
skilled labor requisite to printing and press
work Because of the drafting of compost
tors and pressmen, some of the veteran
editors have had to don oyeralls and aprons
and begrime their hands again with the ink
that lured them years ago to the profession
But without exception in Georgia, they are
dedicating their papers to the task of win
ming the war.
1t is to the rural press that should go
the chief import of Administrator Browns
handsome compliment: No finer single
ssssEyice in the interest of the American pub
lie has been performed during this war than
the splendid handling by the nations press
of the OPA processed foods rationing pro-
gram.
We beg leave to add that the people
of the rural areas can perform no better
service for their country and their mme-
date section than to preserve the solvency
and usefulness of their home papers dur
ing the emergency that is coming upon them
with ever-increasing force
Support your local paper. Your nation
and your community would be poorer with
out it.

WHY 2 AS APPLIED TO ITALY

The Italians progenitors. the Romans.
were the greatest warriors of them all for
five centuries or so preceding and succeed
the Christian era. Have the Italians degen
Grated into being among the worst soldiers
in the world?
The general opinion, at least in the
United States, is that they have, and to
so great an extent they have come to be a
joke
81 But, in judging the Italians, we should
bear in mind that their hearts are not in
this war, have not been in it since it began.
They and the Germans are poles apart, and
they don't like or trust the Germans and the
Germans don't like or trust them. They are
fighting or trying to fight, but in fighting
effectively one must be actuated by right
eous indignation, regardless of whether it
is based on worthy cause or on some fana-
teal conviction.
The Germans believe they are super
men in the sense that Ayrans are the super
ior race; the Japs' consider their emperor
is God-given, and that they are the chosen
race to rule the world. Under the spur of
those beliefs, associated with political
standards considered by the proponents III
each case to be the best in the world, the
Germans and the Japs fight valantly and
are forgetful of all humanitarian principles
while they fight
But the Italians, despite the Fascist
movement forced on them, are peace-lov-
ing, Woodworking people, concerned far
more in their fields and vineyards than they
are in world politics. Mussoini, their leader.
stayed out of the war till, licking his chops,
he thought he could enter it safely as
jackal But the hit-back has resulted in
italy's losing her entire African empire,
and today the Italians, in placing their
downfall on Mussolini, are sullen, bitter
people, who probably will, when the time
is opportune, rid themselves of their leader
and tear to pieces the government he has
established.
Neither man nor nation can fight his
or its best if he or it has no object in fight
ing.
The United States, where there are
millions of Italians or Americans of Italian
descent, is the most popular foreign coun-
try in the world to the Italians at home So
why should they fight against Americans,
whom they like, and fight for the Germans,
whom they detest?

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
SAYS REDS MAY WORRY RUSSIA
Here's a new angle :

Here's new angle:
Sir Gerald Campbell British Minister,
says he would not be surprised IF Germany
sank to communism after the war and Rus
STA became worried about communism in
Europe
His reasoning Is that Russia il a great
producing country, anxious to develop fu-
lure markets in Europe and Asia. Germany
when theswar ends. will have lost her OPP
portunity to be the producing nation of Eu-
rope and, consequently, may turn to any
''ism that can fool enough people.
