LOSS OF SCHOOL
PROPERTY HEAVY
Materials Diverted From
War Effort to Replace
Fire Casualties

More than a million dollars worth
of schools were destroyed by fire
each month during the first quar-
ter of 1943, and to replace them
will require approximately four mil
lion dollars worth of critical ma
terials that could have gone into
the manufacture of planes, tanks,
battleships and guns, the War Pro-
duction Board reported today.
An aggregate loss of school prop
erty amounting to approximately
five million dollars was reported by
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's for the first quarter of this
year. The WPB, alarmed at the
huge proportion of requests for
new schools to replace those des-
troyed by fire, is urging all school
and colleges to intensity their fire
prevention activities. If a fire does
destroy school. the WPB pointed
out, the building replacing it will
have to be put up without an audi
forum or gymnasium; only the bare
essentials are allowed.
In Connecticut, according to the
records of the State Fire Marshal's
office, in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1912, there were "a school
fires reported. with an aggregate
loss of Sill, $50, of which 500, SIS was
building loss and $21s975 was loss OF
contents. Although the records for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1943
are as yet incomplete, preliminary
figures indicate a considerable i'm
provement over the preceding year,
it was said.

Mrs. Merton B. Allan, supervisor

The gardens were discovered in

"a tomato plants Wednesday but
only six were left yesterday. 1t was

When the WAAC5 were organized
little over a year ago, Army wives
distrusted them, civilians resented
their uniforms, and veteran Army
officers figured the corps would be
more trouble than it would be
worth.
Today it's different story. Plenty
different. The WAACs have proved
that their one idea is to replace
soldiers who are doing the house
keeping tasks of the Army. Civil
ians have come to realize that they
are uniformed simply because it is
the easiest and cheapest way for
the government to supply clothes to
large group of women. And the
WAACs have done such an efficient
job that the Army now wants a total
of 100000 of them.

"He didn't have a chance = to

doing what I can to complete the
job" was the reason pretty 81
year-old Betty Sharer BRONX,
widow of the famous Flying Tiger,
Robert BRONX, gave for joining the
WAACs.
We were sitting watching a
baseball game between the Of
f1cerS and noncoms, and talking
about what the various women
around us had done in the "out-
side world" There were girls who
had left defense jobs, lives of ease
at home, motion picture work in
Hollywood, and positions they had
attained only after many years of
service
1t was just three weeks after their
military wedding in Chicago which

other Democrat could possibly beat
Governor Dewey in the opinion of
party leaders.

Creel outlines the Republican
strategy as follows:
IF the war Is still on, they will
pledge a more vigorous and effec-
tive prosecution by taking military
decisions away from a White House
coterie, putting entire control in
the honds of supreme war coun-
ell. They will guarantee considera-
ton OF the war as whole. empha-
sizing the Pacific area no less than
Europe and North Africa.
IF the last shot shall have been
fired, their peace policy will repudi-
ate any hint of isolationism, and
at the same time reject Henry Wal
lace's dream of any world brother
hood to be financed by the United
States; a policy that will accept
every proper responsibility for the
reconstruction OF the ravaged ma
lions, while insisting that our aid
will be in proportion to our own
strength.
Having thus answered the argu-
ment against horse-changing, all
emphasis will be put on waste, ex-
travagance, bureaucracy and other

ANOTHER FRENCH
CRISIS AVERTED
Giraud May Postpone U. S.
Visit; Catroux Going
to Cairo
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

London, July 2.-CUP)-Anothe
in the series of crises in Anglo
American relations with the French
was believed today to have been
averted at least temporarily with
indications that Gen. Henri Honore
Giraud will postpone his visit to
Washington.
Gen. Georges Catroux, who has
been invested with full police pow
ers throughout Algeria, was sched-
uled to leave for Cairo and Beirut
today for a Today stay and Al
giers sources thought it likely
Giraud would postpone his depar-
ture until after Catroux's return, if
then.
British and American relations
with the French appear to have
reached something approximating
the Lucrative stage at which almost
anything that happens-good, bad
or indifferent-is likely to provoke
some kind of a crisis.
AS in almost every development,
the circumstances behind Giraud' S
proposed visit to Washington and
the reasons why it carried the seeds
of more serious trouble in Africa
probably are only vaguely under
stood amidst the clouds of words,
statements and generally partisan
views being put out by all sides.
The fact is that the invitation to
Giraud was extended long ago. Up
to now it never seemed that the
situation was quiet enough in North
Africa to enable Giraud to leave
There is no indication that it is
any more favorable now
The new French committee Of ma
tional liberation just has emerged
from the painful experience of be-
ing told plainly by the Allies that
Giraud must remain as head of the
French armed forces because of
military necessities.
That Allied view was reinforced
by Prime Minister Winston Church.
i'll in his statement to parliament
Thursday. when he said Gen.
Dwight D. EisenhoWer-backed by
both the American and British gov
ernments-had asked that Giraud

Immediately talked of enlisting. I
dreaded to see them go, as any
mother would. But We knew
there was big job to be done, and
the faster everybody pitched in the
sooner it would be over. So all of
us were indicted into the army at
the same time"
TOO BUSY TO WORRY
The picture of contentment and
well-being, Belle Kalman added,
"And do you know that since I
joined the WAACs I find I have
less responsibility than 1 did in
civilian life?
"It's wonderful not to have to
cook meals, worry about where
the rent money is coming from, try
to keep up with the Joneses, or
wonder how I could pay the doctors
bill if I were to be ill. And" she
concluded quietly. I'm kept so busy,
I don't have time to worry about
the boys"
When peace comes again, Ser
geant Kalman believes every girl
and boy should be given a years
