asking if they could demonstrate
the subject OF Detroits table
talk for this week.
Out of the big bag they were
carrying and onto the kitchen
table came half a loaf OF bread
and some gadgets that looked
like small saws.
Quick az a fash one Of the
men was slicing the bread. He
handed us smooth as silk slices
cut evenly TO 9-l6ths OF an inch
Next off came those Of melba
toast thinneSS. Seemed that
anything in the bread-slicing
line could be taken care Of by
this new self-guiding home
bread slicer.
Long Lasting

frame is the steel serrated edge,
so placed that when the knife
is not in use the blade will not

While no untoNard occurrences
have transpired in Greater Littls
Rock recently, We realize the wis
dom Of creating better und/
rstanding and building public
opinion, so that there will be es-
tablished contacts to serve as
basis for ready adjustment of
any problems that may arise.
This is desirable in normal times.
1t is especially desirable now
when there are alleged indica-
tions of subversive activities to
incite racial conflicts throughout
the country, breaking down mo-
rale, disrupting production OF
essential war materials, and af-
fording strong propaganda for
the Axis.
The future of all America Is
involved in the emotional ten
sion gripping the people of this
country today, The need for To-
cal and national unity and a
strong morale shared in by ALL
people, is realized as never be-
fore. There Is a growing nation
al consciousness of the dangers
presented by the need of more
and better understanding between
racial groups in democracy at
war
The experiences Of the First
World War remind us that this
consciousness may be a temporary
state of public opinion, but there
are at the same time both great
possibilities for losing ground
and also great potentialities for
future gains. Now il the moment
to develop increased mutual re-
spect and understanding as a
foundation for sound racial rela-
tionships. Negro leaders Ut Great
er Little Rock have pledged their
wholehearted support and are
making contributions to the war
program to the best OF their abili-
ty. They are willing to extend
their cooperation with the major
ity group by collaborating in all
sound measures for progress. To
do this it is necessary to develop
more contacts and understanding
between controlling civic organi-
cations and authorities.
The League feels that it will
be to the best interests Of both
races in this community to get
together and take immediate
steps to avert the possibility Of
any form Of race disturbance in
Greater Little Rock.

the air, A flight of six P-40s led
by First Lieutenant Charles w,
Dryden, % years old, Of 500 Home
Street, Bronx, New York City
was attacked over pantelleria,
then in Allied hands, by force
of twelve German FW 1905 try
ing to raid the island. Ten more
German fighters lowered above
to protect the bombers which the
FW zoos were escorting. In a
lively encounter the American
Negro plyers parried the Nazi
thrust, damaged two Of the Ger

the remainder to retreat
First Lieutenant Lee Rayford
of Ardwick, Maryland, said he was
more surprised than alarmed
when his wing avs struck by
machine gun and cannon fire in
this, his first flight under the
guns of enemy aircraft. He
brought his ship back safely.
Lieutenant Colonel r. @, Davis,
Jra Commanding Officer of the

the fight would give the flyers
the confidence they needed, the
confidence that could not be gain
ed by mere training.
First Lieutenant Sidney p.
Brooks of 3009 East j Street,
Cleveland, Ohio, sighted the ene-
my fighters above his formation
and warned the others just as
the FW's Owed to attack.
They attacked in formation
of four. said Lieutenant Dry
den, and We counted twelve
coming down on us. Another ten
stayed above as high cover for
the enemy bombers. We turned
into them and they made diving
attacks on us Individually. When
they started back up we went
with them and they began a wide
circle, with us after them. Then
they broke off and climbed
above us and stayed there wait
ing for another chance to dive
on us. We stayed around until the
controller ordered us home"
Second Lieutenant Willie Ash
ley, Jr., of 212 West Bartlett
ST., Sumter, South Carolina said
his gas needle pointed to empty
when he finally landed. The 9TH
er planes were all low ON gas
also.
Lieutenant Rayford said his
plane was hit while he was fir
ing on two FW 1905. while /
was after the two," he said, "a
third one got on my tail. That's

The Americans were tos busy
to get a close shot at the bomb
ers although Lieutenant Dryden
fired one fleeing burst at one
of them. They were unable to
state whether the bombers had
reached their detectives but
Lieutenant Rayford said he saw
at least four bombs strike the
water without doing any dam
age, Besides Lieutenant Dryden,
Rayford, Ashley and Brooks, pi-
lots participating in the engage
