unreasonable in view of over

Mrs. Ella M. Thompson, in intro
ducing the resolution, said there are
'too many regulations" and that the
Commissioners should use more dis
cretion in enforcing them.
The association also directed the
attention of the Commissioners to
the lack of enforcement of garbage
disposal law. Mrs. Thompson said
some residents insist on placing
garbage in with trash, thus attract
ing rats and other pests.
D. B. Guynn of the Speakers Bu-

sions. IT guess we'd better forget
it," he said. II guess it was just
one of those pipe dreams that come
to man who has to stick at desk
and can't 60 out and see for him
self"
Contrast this with the Fascist
notions Of the japanese soldiers
who cannot conceive of their supe-
riors being ever wrong and contin-
ually try to carry out pipe dreams
and invariably go up in smoke.
Their desk dreamers do not trust
the judgment of their subordinates
and many, many thousands of jap
anese lives have been wasted on
that account alone. The democratic
process and the habits of thought it
has produced in our fighting men
has given us valuable, ife-saving
system of checks and balances in
this war.
Flyers Figure Odds.
When Swede Larsen asked Tor
pedo 8 for six crews to volunteer to
stand by at Midway for the Japs
coming in and gave the fellows a
night to sleep on it, the process
of deadly arithmetic began in the
minds of everybody concerned. In
this case, they all knew it was their
duty to 60, but they all knew, too,
that the men in the squadron had
been in training for varying lengths
of time, anywhere from two months
to eight months.
Some felt they were more ready
for fight than others in the squad
ron, and some felt they were less
ready and that, as it turned out
the next morning, proved the de-
termining factor. Not desire to
show up as a hero, not a restless,
reckless itch for action, not curios-
ity to see what a battle really looked
like, not needless lust to kill Japs.
All the men wanted to show up as

going of for the big game. That
is one thing that strikes every one
who has the privilege of watching
American young men carry on the
adult business of war they are
adult when that is what they have
to be, and all the rest of the time
they act their age. There was a
football type Of kidding going on
Don't forget, when you drop, to
open the bomb-bay DOORS; that
kind of thing and there was
cheering and envy and one of the
fellows was crying. That was little
Billy Bragg, who came out of one
of the Carolinas looking about IA
years old and wanted in the worst
way to see what a battle looked
like. He had been after Swede 10
times a day to let him go, but he
hadn't got to go because there were
other men better trained.
The flight to Midway was long
and difficult and very hazardous.

mile away with good rifle but

heroes, were restless for action,
were curious to see battle, wanted
to kill Japs, but the volunteers the
next morning were in almost every
case the men who had had the
longest training. In that fact could
be seen that the arithmetic of young
Americans was good. 1t was prac-
tical and sound and evaluated a
situation in an Unconditional, mat
ter-of-fact way.
Then it was Swede's turn to be
hard-headed about the thing. He
had asked Admiral Noyes a second
time to let him go to Midway and
had been turned down a second
time. But he had had longer train
ing than anybody in the squadron,
and he felt further that it was his
place to be there. The third time
he went to Admiral Noyes. The
admiral was very curt and Swede
had to say, "Yes, sir, very good, sir" :"
in stiff way and keep his thoughts
to himself in very stiff way. Then
he went back to his bunk in BOG
bachelor officers quarters) and
picked the six crews to 60 from
the long list of volunteers he had.
Picked on Special Grounds.
He picked them Internationally.
Two were picked because, while they
were good flyers, they were not as
expert as others in landing and
taking off from carriers and there
was a chance if the battle went
badly the part of the squadron left
in Pearl Harbor would join it from
a carrier. Two others we're picked
because they were very close friends
and worked well together. The re-
naming two got to go because they
had had the longest training.
The six planes took off on the
Tuesday morning of June 2. Every

the planes made it in fine shape.
They hit the dime on the bull's-eye
and when Swede got the news he
felt happy, really happy inside.
That was Tuesday night. The fell
lows of Torpedo on Midway spent
Wednesday, the last full day of
their lives, waiting for air plot to
make up its mind, filling in
the time by checking their planes.
And Thursday morning all but two
were dead, or, as the Navy says
when the bodies cannot be found,

pendentS. after March 81 unless

A-WMC says that there Is no
"clamoring" Of nOn-deferrable

where IL will send each worker
for unemployment.
Q-What happens TO the earn
ings of a worker on a 40-hour
week who soon will be working As
