Late Soldiers
Vote Will Delay
Election Returns

In eleven states, late soldiers
votes may change the outcome OF
the election this year, depending
on how close the vote is.
A late survey showed that per-
haps 100000 votes will be cast
by men and women in the armed
services. These absentee ballots
have been pouring in from every
war theatre where Americans are
fighting. In most States, they will
be counted along with the civilian
ballots, but in II States the count
ing will be delayed.
Most political experts believe
that the service vote will be espe-
cially a factor in such states as
Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts, where President
Roosevelt and Governor Dewey
are running neck and neck in
civilian popularity. Should the
electoral vote in this election be
extremely close, it is possible
that the winner will not be known
for days, or even weeks. Penn
sylvania does not begin counting
its service votes until November
%. The latest date is December
z in North Dakota, but most OBJ
servers believe that State safely
Republican regardless of the
service vote.
It requires 266 electoral votes
to win. In 1910, Mr.. Roosevelt got
449 and Willkie received 50. In
1896, it was Roosevelt 523; Lam
don 8; in 1892, it was Roosevelt
472; Hoover SO.

He was II.
He had been reported i'll for

mental to the French nation. Sub
sequently, it was reported with
out confirmation that he had been
arrested by the F. F. I. for alleged
collaborationist activities.

LUCKY HUNTERS FIND
TREASURE IN MASS.

Holyoke, Mass. - Residents of
the peaceful city of Holyoke re-
sumed their usual peaceful pur-
suits after a radio gag had back
fired and sent them scurrying on
one of the weirdest treasure hunts
on record.
About 1893 of the hunters
were empty-handed, but two 9TH
ers-Joseph E. Roy, a 23-year-old
discharged serviceman, and his
14-year-old brother-in-law Henry
Martelle-were trying to decide
how they would divide the $1,000
treasure.
1t all started when Ralph Ed
wards, master -of-ceremonies on
the coast-to-coast Truth or Con-
sequences" show told member of
his audience to 60 to Walnut and
Prospect streets in Holyoke and
start digging. Before the lucky
chap could leave the studios,
Holyoke radio fans were storm
ing the site with shovels, stick,
SpoonS-even a bulldozer.

Winston-Salem-North Caro-
lina's overall quota in the nation
al Sixth War Loan Drive for IA
billion dollars has been set at 121
million dollars, it was announced
by c. T. Leinbach, chairman of
the State War Finance Committee.
"Our State quota for the sale of
Series E Bonds alone" Leinbach
said, els "a million dollars. The
E Bonds" he explained" are the
securities usually purchased by
individuals, but in addition to this
E quota>we have, a quota for other
securities to be sold to individuals
of q million dollars"
The 100000 total of these
two quotas of individual pur-
chases, Leinbach pointed out, is
one million dollars more than the
$60,000,000 quota for sales of Sc
curities to corporations, insurance
companies, building and loan as
sociations, and all other types OF
investors.
While the Sixth War Loan
Drive officially begins November
20, Leinbach explained that the
sales of all Series E, F and G
Bonds, and Series c. Treasury
Savings Notes made from No
vember l to December 81 will be
counted in the Sixth War Loan
Drive quotas and included in the
final tabulations.
Leinbach, who has just return
ed from conducting a series of
regional conferences over the
State, remarked that organiza-
ton plans in the various counties
are going forward rapidly, in or
der that the people may be given
an early opportunity to partici-
pate in the Sixth War Loan Drive
II am sure" he added, 'that
North Carolina again will meet
its full quotas-which, as every
American citizen realizes by now
represent both a privilege and q
responsibility" 80.
Referring to the series of re-
gional meetings just concluded
the State chairman declared that
the interest shown by the various
county chairmen was both en-
couraging and commendable, in
view of the fact that the majority

Birmingham is a town of 10000 people in Eastern Massachusetts. Out of this comparatively small population have emerged almost one thousand men who are flying for Uncle Sam either in the Army Air Forces or wearing the green garb of the Navy. This great in- terest in flying was undoubtedly developed in these men when, as boys, they watched the planes land ing and taking off from the towns airport.
 One of these men is Captain Nor man l.. Mcdonald, who is now the Commanding Officer of Fighter Section II at Bradley. He grad uated from Birmingham High School in 1885 and tried his hand in the business world for couple of years. In 1888, he decided to con- tinue his education and enrolled in Belmont Abby College, North Caro- lima, where he "majored" in foot ball. After playing for one year \ he went back into business with |an insurance and brokerage con- cern.
 Life began for him in 40 when the Captain took up flying. He won a competitive scholarship in the Civilian Pilot Training program, and, upon the completion of the course, was awarded the prized pilots license.
 In April 1941, he enlisted in the A-AF as an Aviation Cadet at Tus- caloosa, Alabama. Five days after Pearl Harbor, he had the coveted wings pinned on his chest and was assigned to a tactical fighter squadron for combat flying. This included training in P-39s, P-4Os and P-43s.
 In June of the following year, he landed in England and his Group twas given a short, intensive course Vwith the RAF in Spitfres. After five or six sweeps over France, Captain Mcdonald was sent to Gi- braltar and then to Gran where he took part in the North African in- vasion. From November 1942 to September 1943, he was in combat continually. In all, he participated in over 145 missions.
 Captain Mcdonald was appointed Operations Officer of a Wing in September and returned to the

CT remarked. q hope he gets 27 more"
 Earlier, Rickenbacker had pre- dicted that his record of 26 planes downed over Germany would be trebled by some U. s. fier in this war.
 Before the war is over, one of our fiers-if not five or six of them will down 50 to 75 planes," he said.
 Although Rickenbacker's 26 was the top score compiled by any U. s. fier during the last war, his rec ord wasn't even close to that of Maj. Edward Mannock, of the RAF, whose World War 1 score was 73, one more than that of Capt. Billy Bishop, the famed Canadian ace. Ace of aces in the last war was Germany's Baron Manfred von Richtofen, who downed 81 Allied planes before he was shot down by Canadian rookie flying in his first combat formation.
 In this war, two Jap-klling Ma rines, Maj. Joe Foss and Maj. Greg Boyington, tied Rickenbacker's American record before Bong broke it. Top Tank in the ETC is AAF Capt. Don Gentle, whose bag to- taled 30, including 23 destroyed in the air and seven on the ground.

 Some commanders, notably Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, chief of the 14th AAF, don't publicize their pilots combat total. Others refuse to count planes destroyed on the ground. Bong's 27 kills, for in stance, all were made in the air.
