who later received the Distinguished

which were responsible for his med

Now back at his post with the Ma

During his time at the hospital
Capt. Knode had an opportunity to
observe many men who had returned
wounded from the war fronts.
II was particularly surprised at
the feeling of the wounded men who
have come back" he said. Their
spirits are high and they don't seem
to be reluctant to speak of their ex-
,periences." It is clear Capt. Knode
speaks also for himself.

Crime and Vice Flourish in Ship Building
CCenter-Wettest Spot in "Dry" State

plumbing in this place were of a
sort that can't be described in any,
thing approaching family newspa-
per delicacy.
A county police officer was pres
ent but made no effort to exert any
sort of restraint.
CRIMES UNSOLvED
One night two couples from the
trailer village visited this joint,
leaving their four children In the
care of married, feeble minded
girl of 10. The girl locked the chill
dren in a trailer and left them.
They spilled some gasoline and put
a match to it. One child died, and
the others were severely burned.
Altogether, four children's lives
have been lost in the federal hous-
ing project through fires that de-
stroyed three trailers and tent.
Citizens who oppose these con-
ditionS have to fight both apathy
and greed. City and county law
enforcement agencies appear COM
placent. to say the least, though
they are badly and 1nadequately
stated.
Within the past month a 49,
year-old girl was raped and muir
dered block from the high school,
and one Of the towns businessmen
was shot to death 200 yards from
the police station. Both crimes are
uilSolved.
PROFITEERING PERMITTED
There have been numerous stab
bings and burglaries, and several
rapes in the wake of Pascagoula's
wartime boom. Volunteer guards
and fire watchers In the housing
project have been fired upon at
night.
In addition to all this, workers
find many uncriminal annoyances.
Pascagoula's only city bus lines are
run by two local taxi companies,
which charge Is cents for a ride in
BUSES Of venerable age, advanced
disrepa1r and prodigiouS discom-
fort. All food is too expensive, and
the fresh fruits and vegetables are
OF inferior quality. The local banks
still maintain their 9-to-3 hours,
which makes 1t difficult for some
workers to cash their checks.
Two short blocks comprise Pas
cagoula's business section, just as in
pre-war days. The only concession
to the towns growth from 1000 to
10000, apparently, is the fact that
local merchants have lacked up
their prices.

OPA Eases
Pork Rotion

Washington, Dec. 22-(UP)-The
Office of Price Administration today
issued a meat dividend for the
holiday season by granting the
public five extra points for use in
buying pork.
Price Administrator Chester Bow
les said that beginning today and
continuing through midnight JAN
l, spare stamp No. One in ration
book four would be good for five
points worth of pork.
Bowles said the divided was made
possible because of an unexpected
ly large supply of hogs and the
danger of spoilage due to shortage
Of freezer space. He said present
meat rations were 20 per cent high
er than last March, when ration
ing began.

no leisure time program at present,
beyond a baseball field and gar
den club, though they are looking
for a recreation director. There Is
little for the war worker to do ex-
cept drink and gamble, and there
is plenty Of opportunity for both.
LAWLESSNESS FLOURISHES
Mississippi's odd prohibition set
up helps to trim down the weekly
pay check. The state theoretically
is dry, but along the Gulf Coast
the statute never has been enforced.
This situation was explained to me
as convenience to free-spending
tourists and those who cater to
them. Until ingalls, came to Pas
cagoula, the coasts salubrious eli
mate was its chief attraction, and
resorts its principal source of
revenue.
So liquor Is sold here by the
package or drink with no danger
of interference from the law. But
since the sale Is theoretically lille
gal, the only price ceiling Is what
the sucker will pay. Gin is So a
half pint; mediocre, or "cookin' 4"
whiskey, SO a pint and $3.50 a
fifth; good, or "drinkin' whiskey,
SIS or SIG q fifth.
Gambling is an extensive and
profitable racket, all the way from
the fancy casino to innumerable
high-stake poker and dice games
in the back roms of taverns and
billiard parlors. Outside the ingalls,
gates are several taverns, all

Beginning classes on January 5
of this year the initial group of

Colonel Charles A. Arnett, who has

Colonel Reeves, the Air Forces ca

machine guns and sentences on
blackboards made room for slogans
such as "A Machine Gun Has No
Conscience"
The New Haven Cadet School was
established to consolidate under one
command the four departments of
instruction that then were operat-
ing separately at various fields over
the nation. The Communications
section was located at Scott Field,
