most effective way of dealing with
Axis conveys. The pilots are often
no more than rs feet above the
water when they release their
bombs. There is much greater
danger for the crews on such runs
than from ordinary bombing runs
over air fields, docks or bridges
because they fly practically into
the mouths of the ships guns.
Throughout the campaign they

for the late Gen. William Mitchell,
pioneer advocate of Army air power

No name is more revered among
Air Force personnel here than that
of Gen. Mitchell. They have a
crusading resolve to perpetuate it
more firmly in American history
by the exploits of the planes which
bear it. Already thev have gone
far towards accomplishing their
purpose and they await eagerly the
opening of the next major cam

far easier and victory swifter.
A real competitive spirit has de-
veloped between the Mitchell and
Marauder crews with the big emo

They seek opportunities to do every

to surpass their records. They in

Another step preparing for the

The Mitchell also is proving a

To the Editor of The Washington Star
Sir:
TvEN railroad kitten gets around now
IL and then. And l have lately heard
some questions asked and comments made
about our railroads that have inspired me
to write you this letter.
I suppose it is perfectly natural that
people who see the enormous load of
traffic our railroads are moving in war-
time-people who watch millions of tons
of freight and thousands of men in arms
go rolling by-should say: I'll bet the
roads are coming money these days"
1t seems to me that the truth of this
question is something every American
ought to know.
Nearly everyone has read or heard that
during the recent years Of depression the
railroads had extreme difficulty making
ends meet. In the twelve years following
1929, thiry-seven Class railroads sought
relief from their troubles in bankruptcy.
Others staggered along under heavy bur-
dens of debt. And the average earnings
ofaA Glass railroads, for that period, were
only 2.292o on investment.
But what many people do not know
is that, even in 1912, the American rail-
roads earned only moderate return on
investment.
Railroad traffic increased enormously,
of course: But so did operating costs, and
SO did taxes. And the average earnings,
for all Class railroads, in our first year
OF war, were only five and a half per cent.
X
Even the railroad kitten, Mr.. Editor, can
see that this is not prohteer's wage.
1t is almost the same percentage as the
earnings that were fixed by the govern
ment for the railroads during the last war.
1t is within what Congress declared in
1920 to be fair earning On railroad value.
And the Interstate Commerce Commission

national crisis is being taken by cars and
coaches and engines-and by the men
who run them. For transport is the life
blood of our war effort
We have reason to be thankful for the
strength of our railroads. And equally
good reason, with a view to the years
ahead, to see that they continue to be
strong and sound institutions.

School Children
To Receive
Hot Lunches

Many Mississippi school children
will have the benefit of a hot school
lunch for the first time in 1943,''
said H. NJ Coen, assistant state
superintendent of education, today
as he urged school leaders through
out the state to attend meetings
now being held to acquaint them
with wartime nutrition program
whic hseeks to secure at least one
third of the daily food require
ments for each school child.
Teams made up of representatives
of the Mississippi State Board of
Health, the State Department of
Education, and the Food Distribu-
ton Administration are operating
on an intensive schedule that al
lows them to lay the plan before
school leaders of ten counties each
day, in order that all schools may
have the opportunity to be ready
to serve hot lunches when school
begins.
Explaining the plans operation
as one whereby the Food Distri-
button Administration will con-
tract to reimburse schools for des-
ignated agricultural commodities
purchased under the terms of the
agreement, Mr.. Coen emphasizes
the fact that no school can pur-
chase food under the program UNI
til contracts are approved by the
Food Distribution Administration.
Applications can be obtained from
the Food Distribution Administra-
ton, or the State Department of
Education, in Jackson.
''The federal government has UNI
derwritten this program for the
purchase of food for Mississippi
school children said Mr. Coen, ito
the extent of over a million dol
lars. No school or community can
afford to pass up this opportunity
to better the health and welfare
of its children"
