The story behind the story of

and it is a scintillating tribute to
the British and American headquar-
ters staffs--a story of clever tactics
and hard, thorough supply work
that moved 1900 tons of supplies

WASHINGTON, May Is (UP)-
The War Labor Board awaited a
response today from its most severe
critic, John L. Lewis, to its demand
that the bituminous coal operators
and the United Mine Workers re-
open wage negotiations.
And it seemed probable, in view
Of the WLB's criticism of the mine
owners refusal to offer the miners
q counter proposal to their $2-a-
Nay wage increase, that Lewis at
last might accede to the demand of
a board that he repeatedly has
defied and ignored.

Lewis May Accede

. that it was welcome news, in
terpreted as a substantial victory
for Lewis. The United Mine Work
ers president himself had sought
to resume direct negotiations after
the initial conferences broke down.
Acceptance of the WLB order
would Stave off another crisis in
the two-month old dispute which
was climaXed two weeks ago by a
series of wildcat strikes, a general
walkout and government seizure Of
the mines. Lewis re-opened the
mines by ordering a l5-day truce
which expires at midnight Tuesday.

Harris in a V-Mail letter from

In his letter his first comment
was of his happiness to hear that
his brother, J. Fl. Harris was alive.
Nom, you had more faith than
did" ]. II. Harris is reported now
a prisoner of war. OF the life in
Africa he says. II am enjoying out
door life and find Africa to be a
beautiful country. The Arabs here
dress like the Bible times. in robes,
more like rags. They visit our
camp and sell us their peculiar
woven grass mats and leather
shoes. l am sending you and Dad
a pocket book made by them"
1--WE have electric lights in our
tents and for Africa | think we are
as comfortable as any outdoor
campers could be if they were on a
fishing trip in America"
1--WE are working like regular de-
fense workers and it is day and
night with us. When we get
through with landing bombs on Mr..
Hitler's doorstep think we all will
be happy and not until. Today the
Red Cross served doughnuts and
the kitchen furnished the coffee"
Il have a buddy who is young
Christian and we get along fine to-
gether. 1t was my Joy to pray
with another soldier one evening
since coming here and leading him
to accept our Lord as his personal
savior. On the boat we had a
talk and he said he was not defin-
itely satisfied with his feelings to-
ward God. I'm so happy that God
has so blessed my efforts and !
would be willing to go anywhere
again if l can be as happy in help
ing others to know Jesus"

MCFARLAND IS
PHOENIX FLAG
DAY SPEAKER

That Arizonans have every rea-
son to be proud of the part that,
this State is playing in the war ef-
fort, was one of the main thoughts
expressed by United States Sena-
tor, Ernest w. Mcfarland, when he
spoke at the Flag Day services of
the Phoenix Elks in that city Mon
day night. wR
The Arizona Senator particularly
praised the part that the miner, the
farmer, the rancher, and those en-
gagged in vital industries, are play
ing. He mentioned the fact that an
Assistant Secretary of War recent
ly said that, in his opinion, "Only
one other state has equalled Ari-
zona's accomplishments in the war
effort" Declaring that the German
"Superman" is a myth that was
first dispelled by the veterans of
the first World War, and lately on
the battlefields of Tunisia, the
speaker went on to tell of an In
spectlon trip to post of debarka-
ton that he recently made as a
member of a Congressional group,
at the invitation of the Army He
said: "Our last visit was to Il
ship on which several thousand of
our boys were embarking for over
seas. l saw some of our Arizona
boys on that ship. The expressions
on the faces of these sons of Amer
lea would have inspired any true
American. There was written a
willingness to pay whatever sac-l-
flee may be necessary on their part
to protect the flag that we honor
here today. Their expressions
showed that they understood the
seriousness of their mission AMI
yet they were cheerfully facing
their duties. l was proud of those
boys, and I know that you are
proud of them. When we think Of
what they face, we should be will
ing to endure what little hardships
and inconvenience that have come
out of this war;"
