On Passover the skies Of spring
Are broad and blue and mellow
To all that breathes new grace they bring
The joyous feast to hallow
The shackles that hath bound the earth
Are smote and burst asunder,
And all the world receives new birth,
Eternal round and wonder!
On Passover we tell again
The old and thrilling story,
Of slaves who broke the tyrants chain,
And marched to God and glory:
They sang song of freedom then,
Together we repeat it,
1t lifts the hearts and souls of men
Who hear and rise to greet it!
A song of freedom, sacred feast,
Art thou through all the ages,
That like the dawn that glides the east,
New life and hope presages.
For freedom is a command divine,
And tyrants all shall perish:
We pledge in trimming cups of wine
Our faith to hold and cherish.

!
almost every Allied government
by the sales activities.
The information, therefore,
came out in the official DE
partment of State bulletin" in an
article by James M. Ludlow, an
official Of the departments mu-
nitions control unit.
None of the promoters" as
Ludlow calls the peddlers of the
ghost guns, is named. And none
has ever succeeded in actually
making a sale. Both the State
and Justice departments have
tried vainly, it was said, TO have
the activities stopped.
HOW 1T GOES
Here, says Ludlow's account,
is what happened:
After the war started in Eu-
rope the War Department an
nounced it had a quantity of
rifles" to sell to friendly govern
ments for approximately $3.50
gun.
"One of the persons who saw
the letter apparently decided
that by finding purchaser for
the government he could earn
some easy money.
He promised commissions to
individuals who would help
him; these persons in turn APP
pointed their own agents"
Meanwhile the War Depart
ment- shipped the rifles off to
Britain to arm the country after
Dunkerque. There were hardly
enough guns left in this country
to train Americas own forces
with. But this, according to Lud-
low, did not slow down the
mushrooming sales plan, which
today is still going strong.
In fact, Ludlow says, as the
number Of would-be statesmen
grew the price per non-existent
rifle grew also until it scared
from the War Departments orig
inal $3.50 to the prevalent
S70.50.
"Of course, in fairness to the
latter price," he said, lit must
be pointed out that somewhere
along the line the one billion
cartridges were added, appar-
emily to make the transaction
more attractive"
COVER WORLD
Ludlow says the promoters"
offer the rifles to the purchasing
missions of foreign government
complete with bayonet, scabbard
and sling and 1000 rounds OF
cartridges per gun. The PROPOSE
ton, made to nearly every for
eign mission and purchasing
commission in this country" also
included, L u d | ow reports,
guarantee Of export licenses and
delivery within 48 hours.
"Many times when it has been
necessary to refuse requests for
arms from other members of the
United Nations, on the ground
that this country did not have
them for allocation," he says,
extremely difficult situations
have arisen when an offer was
made by private persons of such
a quantity of munitions"
When the promoters" were
asked why "they persist in such
a scheme" Ludlow reports, they
always reply, "well, why don't
you let the deal go through and
let's see what happens?

Saipan
Continued from Page One)

Massed with them were many
of the islands $4,000 japanese
civilians, whose role in the
bloody showdown was a source
of conjecture.
At Noemfoor in Dutch New
Guinea's Geelvink Bay, where
southwest Pacific ground forces
are 1000 miles closer TO the
Philippines than they were a
year ago, capture of Kornasoren
Airfield was announced today
by Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
ParatroopS, dropped in force
on two successive days, helped
win it on the Fourth of July. On
Sunday, Sixth Army troops
opened the invasion of Noem-
foor, investing Kamirf Airfield
in the first hours. KornaSoren's
advantage over Kamiri is that
it can be enlarged into heavy
bomber base from which the
Philippines can be pounded.
At Saipan, which is $500
miles nearer Nimitz' China coast
goal than he was at Pearl Har-
Dor a year ago, Nimitz con-
ceded, made it a tougher job
than had been expected.
SITUATION IN HAND
Our troops have the stu
alton well in hand and l think
our forces will push on rapidly
to the (northeastern) end of the
island" Nimitz said, at dim
inishing rate in casualties.
Despite Japan's carrier and
other warship losses June 10 IN
the Philippines Sea, the enemy
navy merits such consideration
that 1--WE take into account the
estimated capability of the Jap
fleet in every move we make
Nimitz cautioned.
That observation heightened
interest in naval task force
thruSts into the Volcano and
BONN islands to within less
than 700 miles of Tokyo.
Il believe we are approach
ing the peak of our efficiency
in handling ships and planes
said Nimitz whose fleet units
have put ashore and guarded
the Saipan invaders without
losing a single warship so far.
Nimitz attention was directed
to the current drive of the Jap
anese to set up a railroad-link-
ed defense zone all along the
China east coast.
IF anything, that would
make us go faster (acroSs the
Pacific) if that were possible"
he said.
MacArthur's Noemfoor in
vasion on the road back TO the
Philippines was spectacular.
Spencer Davis, Associated Press
war correspondent aboard a
CAT troop carrier, watched the
big sky trains disgorge fighting
men less than 500 feet from
the ground for the Independ-
ence Day seizure of KornaSoren.
Some troops 'chuted with
broken-down segments of ma
chine guns and mortars. They
landed on captured Kamiri air
field which Australian engineers
are restoring to use.
The Noemfoor japanese were
to make their last
ditch stand before a third air
drome, Namber.
