Flight Unifies Crews.
AT Hamilton Field they were
pretty worried. The pilot probably
was not quite sure of his navigator,
and the rest of the crew probably
had doubts about both the pilot and
the navigator. But after that one
fight they were sealed together as
a unit, ano they would stick as one,
through thick and thin.

Half Million More Men Are Needed for Navy Dur
 ing Present Year

WASHINGTON, March l6.-With nearly dozen new ships joining the United States fleet every day, the Navy will need $500 900 officers and men by the end of this year or an increase of nearly half a million over the present manpower.
 The figures were given by Navy Secretary Franx Knox and Vice Admiral Jacobs, Chief of the Bureau of Navy Personnel, at news con- ference.
 Jacobs emphasized the dozen ships a day figure is based wholly on sea- going vessels and doesn't include the small auxiliaries, although the total covers some larger landing craft"
 Jacobs estimated that by the end of l944 the total for all naval serv- ices including the Marines and Coast Guard will be 3,700,000.
 Knox said the number of ships in the fleet has increased from SIS on January l, 1942 to 4,167 on January 1, l944. ssi.

JERSEY CITY, March 16-After months of internment under Nazi domination, 662 repatriates have reached American soil and freedom.
 They came home aboard the white painted Swedish exchange lin e r Gripsholm.
 The first ashore was a group of 36 wounded service personnel, who have been German war prisoners.
 Thankfulness at being home is expressed by s. Pinckey Tuck, Am erican Charge d'Affairs at Vichy.
 After 15 months in detention, we are now able to appreciate the full value of the meaning of the word Freedom" said Tuck in a statement in behalf of the party.
 We know there are others held in Germany and other countries who must temporarily endure Nazi domination of freedom. but as we interpret the word, it is farce and mockery.'

 Ken Keltner, third baseman for Cleveland, has spoken out said Rowland, and other baseballers may follow him in his declaration. He has been classified as 2-B be- cause of his season job in war plant but he is returning to base ball because of his profession. If the Army wants him, Keltner says, he will be glad to answer the call"
 Rowland rapped the attitude of some players who are using the draft status to improve their finan-' cial standing. He said the players are forgetting the club owners who made possible the continuance of the game through the lean war years.

 Held up at the beginning Of the long journey by rivers only partially frozen near Talkeetna, the tough ened soldiers forged ahead on the last half of the wilderness trek to reach their objective on schedule, depending almost entirely on ration dropping aircraft for their food.
 The main body of troops crossed the Alaska mountain'range at Windy Pass, covering some eight or nine difficult miles above the timber line in one day so they would not be forced to spend night without firewood and wood framework for the crude lean-to's they used for shelter.
 A smaller force of the soldiers, led by It. Col William Walther. com mander of the maneuver troops, went some 30 miles out of the way to cross the range at an unmapped point known as Sanctuary Pass in a flanking movement to distract the "enemys" attention from the main body of troops.
 The hardened soldiers came through the arduous war games in fine physical condition, said Col. Walther. The force suffered no casualties during the last half of the journey, despite sub-zero tenn peratures.

 of Martin would probably be the most harmonious move the Repuhli- cans could make. Observers here are certain that both the Willkie and stop- Willkie factions would be will ing to have Martin in the chair.
 Martin is one of the most widely respected Republican stalwarts. There weren't any complaints about how he fought for Willkie in the 1940 election campaign, and there aren't any complaints about the way he handles party leadership in the House. He comes through nearly all internal scraps without being tarred with the brush of any faction.
 As permanent convention chair man, he might go far in healing the ruptures that many observers think are certain to develop when the G. o. P. gets together in July.
