Chinese Resident Out
To Revenge His Nation

One Wilmington boy took the
Back the Attack slogan serious
ly this week and enlisted in the
Navy with the sole purpose of get

his family who lost their lives in
China. This boy is Lee Hing Lem,
17-year old Chinese, BORN in Will
mington, who went to China with
his parents at the age of two and
returned three years ago after the
Japanese had infested his coun-
tryland.
Lee Hing, who has an excellent
vocabulary, much better than
many 17-year-old American boy%

According to Lee, ne lived in a
part of China which was similar
to the United States IN civiliza-

hate for the Nazis, but he wants
to get in the Pacific battle and

be a gunner when he takes spe-

Weighing only 101 pounds strip

Bochum Heavily Pounded
In Last Air Attack
For September

LONDON Sept. 80. --(P- The
1.AF concluded a month of peak
Allied air activity from Britain
last night with heavy attack on
the Ruhr industrial city of Bochum,
a nest of targe- including three
large steel works and coke, coal,
iron and chemical works.
It was the RATS first attack on
the Ruhr in Sci TENDER, q month
devoted to nine powerful defense
dispensing blows at ia gets hun
dreds Of miles apart, ranging from
Berlin to central France and the
Italian border, and a month which
brought the American, Eighth Air
Forces. greatest progress to date.
The months operations made it
clear that Allied air fleets are
moving from groundwork at
tacks to a phase of intensive op-
erations preliminary only to the
final big invasion drive against
Germany.
The Raj lost eight bomber in
hitting Bochum, a figure regarded
as low and as rejecting inroads
made on the German air forces
now mainly defensive force during
the four weeks of continual ham
mering of Nazi bases, factories
and planes.
Concentrated fires were start
ed soon after the first bombs were
dropped, and by the end of the
attack smoke was rising $4,000 feet
in the air, the Air Ministry said
tonight. Reports from the raiders
agreed that the defenses were by
no means so strong as at the be-
ginning of the Battle of the Ruhr.
The attack was made in the early
evening, the fliers going after
tea and returning for a late sup
per.
1t was the fifth attack of the
war on Bochum, which lies $50
miles inland from the Dutch coast
and has population of more
than 100000. The steel works there
include branches of the Krupp
combine.
The attack, described by the
Air Ministry as heavy, was the
third this week at the Nazis' i'm
portant industrial artery, the
DortmundEm canal, which brings
scandinavian iron ore in from the
sea. The northern terminus of the
canal, Emden, was hit twice Mon
day, by daylight by American
Fortresses and at night by the

IN ONE Of his final campaign talks yesterday Mayor
i Jeries declared the most important consideration
before the voters not whether he Mr. FITZGERALD
would be chosen mayor.
The matter of first Importance" he said lis whether
prefer really democratic city government of all the
people for all the people, government of select mnOr
ties for select mnOrities."
That is profoundly true and it is the chief reason
every qualified voter in Detroit should deem it his solemn
duty to go to the polls tomorrow.
Our American scheme of government has proven the
most practical and equitable yet devised because if
office holder the choice of the majority of the ctzenry
he must reflect their desires or be replaced.
Only when the majority fails to vote do we find men
in office who ignorant of Indifferent to popular
opinion in public affairs. Government by bloc simply
cannot be fair to the of people because it is arb
trariy the creature of the blocs that created it.
Voters must remember the aggressvely consolidated
minores opposed to Mayor Jeries not against him
merely by chance.
A THOUGH the rank and file of their followers do
n not realize it, the shrewd labor leaders and Negro
leaders of this city employing tomorrows election
dress rehearsal for national adventure
They would like humanity enough, to become a bal
of power in national politics If their technique is
successful here will be followed zealousy in other cities
and other states and at national elections.
Hence, political observers all over the nation
watching Detroits election They eager to observe
how aertly the general public notoriously apathetic
except in times of political crisis rally against the
assaults of organized minorities
THERE is no question but that Mayor Jeffries is the
l champion of all the people of Detroit. Even his
opposition has so designated him by inference in con-
stanty reminding minority groups that he discrimnaes
against them.
Fair minded Detroters know Mayor Jeffries has not
Disseminated against any group at any time.
This newspaper believes he should be reelected and
that he will be reelected Detroit voters respond omor
row in full strength.
With the eyes of the nation upon scanty voting
turnout would of shameful civic torpor regard
less of what man becomes mayor.
