BY J. NORMAN LODGE

AN ADVANCED SOUTH PA
CIFIC BASE, Marcht a. @-
A bearded sergeant opened the
door of the hospital plane and
stared, unbelieving.
Good Cod" he exclaimed.
There's a woman on board!'
This was Second Lieut.. Mae
Olson's introduction to Gdadal-
canal. The attractive, 2j-year-
old airline hostess from Little
Falls, Mimi, is the first Amer
lean girl to land on that bat
tle-scarred island since the war
began.
Blond Lieut.. Olson Is one Of
"a army nurses recruited from
the ranks of the airlines to serve
on ambulance planes taking
wounded and sick servicemen
from combat areas. BY the flip
of a coin she won the right to
make the inaugural plane trip
t Guadalcanal.
Eight seriously injured men
and three others were brought
to a hospital from that island Of
death on which Lieut.. Olson
spent busy half hour.
1T was an experienceI'll new
er forget" she related.
Long before dawn we left
the advanced field for Guadal-
canal, of which Id heard so
much. l was surprised to find
il a beautiful island from the
air. Arriving on the ground,
though, there were the tell-tale
holes, torn trees and bomb GRAFT
ers.
"A bearded sergeant, not
Knowing there was a girl
aboard, opened the door and al
most fell dead when he saw
me. Good God, there's a wo-
man on board! he cried. The
men just stood around and star
ed, hardly able to answer me
when / talked to them while
the wounded were being placed
aboard.
"All the wounded wanted to
know if there were more like
me-"

Johnston Proposes to Strengthen

over house insistence that a
three man policy making board
be created at the top. The SEN
ate insists on a one-man author
ity appointed by the governor.
House Republicans agreed to
poll their sentiment on the sub
ject al a closed caucus this after
noon.
Kircher, who fought with
Miriam in the l94l session on
policies of state aid TO crippled
and afflicted children. startled
the house members when he
arose under personal privilege
and declared he paid highest
tribute" TO Democratic former
Governor Van Wagner for re-
fusing last summer to reappoint
Miriam to the welfare commits
sion, on which the Detroiter had
served since 1899.
Declaring Kelly's appoint
ment of Miriam was a regret
full incident, Kircher read news
accounts quoting the governor
as praising the new commissions
err and asserted: Il disagree with
the chief executive and I'll de-
bate the matter with him at any

BANK ISSUE
The anti-branch banking bill
which muddled the entire l941
legislative session struck its first
snag in the senate yesterday and
sponsors laid it aside until to-
day to study a furry of amend
mentS aimed at it.
Senator Ivan A. Johnston, Re-
publican, Mount Clemens, drew
the fire of the sponsors, Senator
Otto w. Bishop, Alpena Repub-
lican, when he proposed to make
the measure even stricter.
Johnston moved to allow
chain banking only within the
home county of a parent bank or
in a contiguous county which
had no bank, asserting "if chain
banking is the evil some say it
is, why let's consider il so. If you
really are opposed to chain
banking ! don't see how you can
oppose this amendment"
Bishop said it was contrary
to accept blinking practises in
rural counties"
The Senate passed bill rails
ing the pay of circuit court
clerks as follows: In the first
circuit to $4,000, in the 18th TO
$500, in the 21st to $4,000, in
the Gath to $4,000 in the 18th to

A special communique last
night first told of the successes
of an eight-day-old offensive in
which 5000 Germans were re-
ported killed and 5000 captur-

It was the first official men,
ton of Timoshenok in months

he had been stationed on the
Kharkov-Kursk fronts and on
the southwestern front.

The strength of Germany's
18th army has not been stated
but Izvestia, the government
newspaper, reported that num-

The German 10th Army was
known to have kept the area
vell-garrisoned with seasoned
fighters who have had years
rest from action since the Rus
sims last winter attacked in the
region of Staraya Russo, which
they approached within rifle
range.
, The current fighting on the
front is reported to be west of
the Valdai Hills, which means
that the Germans do not have
this defense barrier from which
to operate.

LANSING, March 2-(P)-A
Republican, attack on Republl
can Gov. Kelly in the house OF
representatives, hints that the
legislature may encounter Sec
ond-hand reproof from the fed
eral government as a result OF
Michigans angled time sched-
ules, and a threatened deadlock
between the house and senate on
the highway reorganization bill
had repercussions in both cham
bers today.
Rep. Fred L. Kircher, Lansing
Republican, assailed the gov
ernor for having returned Louis
c. Miriam of Detroit to the state
social welfare commission, while
a Democrat rose to Kelly's de?
tense.
Lawmakers read meaning into
refusal of Senator Earl w. Mum
shaw, Grand Rapids Republican,
to discuss his findings on a trip
to Washington to test federal
sentiment ward Michigans
confusing dual time standard
until he has conferred with
Kelly Wednesday. They specu-
lated this meant that Washing
ton had told him it disapproved.
A Joint house senate confer
ence committee met last night in
futile effort to arranfe COM
promise version of the bill which
seeks to take selection of the
state highway departments ad-
ministrative authority out of the
voters hands, by making it an
appointive post.

an average of but % cents per
hour and that the present rate is
