 SECRETARIES OF THE NAVY
 North Carolina's able Congress man Graham Barden is not only an expert on naval affairs, but has a sense of humor. Once he sent Secretary of the Navy Knox a clipping from the Raleigh (N.CD News and Observer, published by former Secretary of the Navy Jo- sephus Daniels.
 The clipping contained picture of Knox and Secretary of Wal Stimson with the caption "Ambas- sador and Mrs. Litvinoff" Under another picture of the Russian Am baSsador and his wife were the names of Knox and Stimson.
 Congressman Barden .facetiously suggested that Secretary Kno, should take this up with his pre- decessor, ex-Secretary of the Navy Daniels. eG
 Knox, a newspaper published hifnseif, played it straight-face. He replied in a very formal letter that Joserhus Daniels doubtless hac made 1 typographical error anc meant no harm.

DOCTORS FOR FARMERS

Current attacks on Farm Secur- ity Administration threaten to un- do one of the most effective pro- grams of the New Deal If Congress succeeds in stripping FSA of funds, there will be an end of the medical care program, which has brought group health" to 117OOO families in the lower income class es of the country
 At first, this program was bucked by the American Medical Association which worried about "socialized medicine" But after six years recent report of the con- servative Medical Association views the experiment with favor.
 Reason for the change is that state medical associations, in the proportion of about four to one declared that the group health pro- gram did not destroy the indepen- dence of doctors. but actually gave them more business.
 The Farm Security medical plan is a sp.e-payrtlent plan,' under which families in farm areas pay a fixed fee for full years medical care for the entire family, regard less of what ailments may develop The fee ranges from $15 in the poorer areas, upwards to $40. But the farm bloc, now running wild in Congress, probably will sweep aside this aid to rural com munities, though it now operates in l,l40 counties. Incidentally, most Congressmen don't even know this medical service exists. .4

tent of the damage inflicted on the

in the outer harbor and the other

NORTH AFRICA, June 5-This is
story Of Duckworth, little black
and white cocker spaniel with
big heart filled with devotion for
two American Spitfire pilots-one
dead, the other living-and a let
ter Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
wrote to make sure the comradeship
of an American flyer and his dog
would not be broken.
The story began when 1t. Har-
old F. Taft of Otto, Ind. and 1t
Richard J. East of New York City
brought the spaniel on troop ship
across the Atlantic and set up home
together on a Tunisian fighter air
drome.
With Allied victory near, 1t. East
one day failed to return from a
mission. 1t. Taft and Duckworth
shared their grief.
Then the Army mail man brought
a message to Gen. Eisenhower from
DR.. Bion r. East of Columbia Uni
versity College of Physicians and
Surgeons which said he and his wife
had been notified that their son
was missing and asked If the pet
dog might be returned to them, IF
it is not inconsistent with general
policy and it doesn't interfere with
the war effort
Dicks mother would particularly
appreciate it." the father wrote, IF
the dog could be placed on plane
or freighter coming to New York
harbor I could meet the dog and
take him to our home"
The Allied communicative chief
who had not known about Duck
worth's co-master ordered the re-
quest granted.
Just in time 1t. Gen. Carl A.
Spaatz, Allied air commander of
the Northwest African Air Force,
learned of the situati and dis
patched an explanation to Gen, Els
enhoWer, and Duckworth and the
former Indiana University student
were reunited.
To the parents of It. East went
this reply from Gen. Eisenhower:
When I received your letter ask
ing for the return of the dog
owned by your son I was deeply
touched. I Immediately directed
that every effort be made to COM
ply with your request. Today I re-
ceived from Gen. Spaatz a letter
which said:
ct is learned that the dog Duck
worth belonged Jointly to 1t. East
and his best friend Harold Taft.
1t. East was killed IN action April q,
His plane and grave were located
after our forces moved into the
Tunis area. The loss of his best
friend deeply affected Taft. The
commanding officer of the fighter
group brought Taft with the dog to
the airplane. Taft was heartbroken
at the thought Of losing his dog
and wanted to spend every possible
minute with him until the plane
took off. He placed him in the
plane and carefully tied him. He
left the plane just before the take
off. Col. West had been waiting in
his car to take Taft back to his quar-
ters but Taft was seen to thank
him and walk away from the car to
an adjoining field
Under the circumstances and in
particular in view OF the statement
that the dog was jointly owned by
your son and his best friend. and
especially as Taft has shown strong
affection for the dog I believe you
