pledge until the war has finally
been won, both in the West and
the East"
Earlier the convention unani-
mously endorsed President Roose-
welt for reelection and Sen. Tru-
man for Vice President, and called
upon "all the nations shipyard
workers 10 work increasingly for
their election"
Some opposition was expressed
from the floor on a resolution sup
porting the Natl. War Labor Board
as an agency but criticizing its pol
icies, but after prolonged debate,
the resolution was passed.

NWLB as an agency which must

RED BATTING OPPOSED

Chairman Sidney Hillman, in which
he told OF being made the target Of
every possible kind Of red-baiting,
the convention passed a resolution
condemning those "reactionary
forces in this country whose cam
didate is Thomas E. Dewey and who
are now resorting TO Hitlerite tao
tics Of red batting in attacking the
CIO and our Political Action Com
mittee."
In their efforts to beat Roosevelt,
these forces, stated the resolution,
"have adopted red-baiting as their
major weapon of confusing the
American people and disrupting our
national unity"
The convention later approved

eral executive board review the
case of Irving Velson, Brooklyn

Kidskin Shoes Enter
High Style Picture
They're Designed to Meet
Sophisticated Demand.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS


Hear the good news! It's all about
the renaissance of fine, flexible, soft
to-the-touch kid shoes. Many mature
women all over the country know
the comfort of kid-skin and now it
is being styled up-to-the-minute for
young girls and young matrons.
And when we say styled, we mean
styled, for the new footwear both in
black and white is styled to the
queens taste" with all the sophis-
tication these modern times de-
mand. You can get any type you
want from classic black mat kid
pumps with closed toe and a
medium heel, or you can have black
suede kid soft as a Kittens ear in
open-toe D'Orsay pump or a black
suede sandal with a fattering wide
ankle strap, which is dressy, also
versatile enough to wear with many
types of clothes.
This is going to be a great
summer for white shoes and the fact
that they are being styled Of soft
flexible smooth kid and sturdy
crushed kid holds out promise Of
new comfort for weary problem
feet.
Play shoes are that intriguing you
will covet owning more than one
pair. You will especially admire
the new wedges, some in white
suede to wear with casual summer
time clothes. You'll be finding solid
comfort and s'style" galore in the
new swank parkee sandal done in
black patent kid.
T.. Being acutely modern-minded,
many women are wanting both open
toe and open heel shoes. You should
see the latest soft kid models.
They're beauties!
These new soft kid shoes will tune
perfectly to the year 1914 mood and
mode. It's the trend for all feminine
wearing apparel to be styled in soft
smart casual manner. The new kids
are elegant, soft, flexible and give
the feet the same easy fit we now
demand in our clothes. Yes, indeed,
kid footwear has definitely entered
the high-fashion picture.
Think of the comfort in store for
weary, aching, discouraged feet that
this summer will be stepping out in
caressingly soft kid shoes, that fit
right, feel right and look right.

This charming gown is made of
perfectly stunning border print done
in multi-striped poplin that can be
tubbed successfully because Of its
everfast color processing. Note the
freedom of the new sleeves and
gathered top of the skirt, all very
much a la Mexicano. ''Neckery"
goes very well with this dress as
the many-strand necklace tells you.
The necklace picks up the many
colors in the stripes Of the dress.

Sailors Submerged 2lO
Feet Made Record Escape

The greatest ocean depth at
which men equipped only with a
breathing device have escaped
from submarine is 210 feet, a
record held by two crew members
of the British P-32, sunk in the
Mediterranean on September H.,
1941, says Golfers. At the lowest
depth, their bodies were subjected
to a pressure of 1873 tons, or nearly
seven times as much as at the
surface.

and act about the
same as men who have been in COM
bat. They cuss a lot, razz each
other about their home states, COM
plain about the food, take great
pride in their guns, and talk about
how they wish they were home, just
as though they had been away for
years.
This unit has been training to-
gether for nearly two years.
They don't yet realize what
terrific advantage that gives
them, but they will realize it as
soon as they are in battle.
They are vast team of fire.
power composed of dozens of
little teams, each one centering
around one gun. They have done
1t SO long they know automati-
cally what to do. They all know
every man on the team and
they know his personality and
how he will react. They have
faith in each other. Only those
who have fought know what con-
fdence that produces.
A typical gun commander is
Sergt. Dick Showalter, (535 S. Char
ker ST. Muncie, Ind. I have spe-
cial reason for mentioning him, For
while I was talking with a group of
soldiers he came up and introduced
himself and said:
II married a girl from your home
town.
When Sergeant Showalter said he
had married a girl from my home
town slightly arched my handsome
eyebrows and said, "Yes?"
eyes," he said. II married Edna
Kuhns.'
why" said, II was raised with
the Kuhns kids. They lived just
across the fence from our farm.
I've known them all my life"
Sergeant Showalter worked in fac
tories before the war. He has been
commander of his gun for more than
a year and half. He is a small
fellow, quiet, serious, conscientious,
and extremely proud Of his crew and
of the way they take their RESPONSE
bility.
One of Showalter's best buddies
in his crew is Pfc. Bob Cartwright
of Daytona Beach, Fla. He is a
cannoneer-a small, reddish, good.
natured fellow.
When we met 7 said, whats
that you've got in your MOUTH"
He grinned and said, "Chawin'
tobacco" Which was just what
thought it was.
He manages to keep well stocked
by trading stuff with boys who don't
chew. Bob is very young. He didn't
know much when he came into the
army, but Showalter says he's the
best there is now.
AS said the boys are very proud
of their guns. They say they've
had fine training and lots of prac'
tice on moving targets. They say
that on direct fire they can hit q
moving tank at about mile anc
almost never miss. They're anxious
to get at it and get it over with anc

They know 1t won't be easy on
the other side. They're living rough
now but they know it will be lots
rougher pretty soon.
AS they say, the chow is bad
here compared to what it was in
America, but they don't complain
too much because they know it's go
ing to get worse.
They know they'll be on c and K
rations, and they've had experience
with them on maneuvers. But when
I spoke Of our best ration-the 10-in-1
field ration-they had never heard
of it.
They have been working hard
since they hit England. They've
made long night trips and done
a lot of practice firing and some
times they have to work as late
as 10 o'clock at night.
When / saw them they were
making preparations for moving
overseas. 1t takes lot of work
to get your equipment ready
for an amphibious move.
They've worked so hard they
haven't had time to get bored.
The commander of the tank-de-
stroyer battalion I have been visit
ing is Lieut.. Col. Joseph Deeley Of
Sheboygan Falls, Wis. He used to
run wool-carding mill there. I like
his attitude toward things.
When I first showed up he was
perfectly courteous but he. made
plenty sure had proper credentials
and what not. AS he said, they have
had plenty of security preached into
them back home, and this indeed is
a critical period and he isn't taking
any chances.
But once he had assured himself
I was all right he called in his SER
geants and told them to go around
and tell their men they were per-
fectly free to show me any and all
equipment they had and talk to me
as freely as they wanted to.
AS I told him later don't
think he need have bothered.
For these boys, approaching
war for the first time, pumped
me SO thoroughly on what war
is like that hardly got a chance
to ask any questions of them.
One company commander, Capt.
Charles Harding, Of Olnsted Falls.
near Cleveland, had just had let.
ter from home telling him to keep
an eye out for me. He figured that
in war this big our paths would
never cross, but they did.
Another Ohioan came up and In.
troduced himself. This was Pfc.
James Francis McClory of (6711
Guthrie street, Cleveland. McClory
is what is aptly known in the bat
talon as a character" He used tc
be a prize fighter.
At one time he worked for the
Cleveland Welding company, which
made bicycles. When I asked him
what he did he said, "Oh, was just
i! hod knocker."
McClory is one of those guys who
are good for the morale of ar
outfit. He is always doing or say
ing something funny. And he is &

who are fanatically loyal.

lof the Puritans. and the crowns
were rounded instead of having
straight sides,
In England at that time only cer-
tain high mobiles had the right to
wear their hats in the presence of
the King. The Quakers claimed the
same right and, in at least one or
two cases, they are known to have
proved that they meant it when they
spoke to the King.
Other odd customs about wearing
la hat, or not wearing one, have
been followed and are followed to-
day. In an orthodox" synagogue
of the Jewish faith, men must wear
hats or caps. This custom, however,
mo longer is followed in many syna-
Igogues which are unorthodox. In
Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches women must wear hats,
bonnets or some other covering.
In Sweden there was a time. when
members of political parties set
themselves apart by their headgear.
On one side were men who wore
hats and ON the other side were men
who wore caps.
In the years of the French revolu-
ton men wore so-called liberty
caps" These were of red color.
/ Some years before the French rev.
olution started the three-cornered
hat came into favor. 1t got the
name of cooked hat"
The silk hat seems to have been
first made in Florence, Italy, about
1760. In the century which followed
the use of this hat spread through
Europe and to the New World. It
became the very stylish" hat. among
men, though it was worn BY the
rich and well to do, net by the
plain people"
With its high, straight-sided brim,
the silk hat looked. something like
a piece of stove pipe. For that rea-
Ison it was nicknamed "the stove
lpipe hat" There have been slight
changes in form in silk hats, but
they have kept their high crowns.
To this day, silk hats are made but
they are rarely to be seen on the
street.

Pictures of the Puritans show the
men wearing looking hats
with high crowns and broad brirns.
Wearing such hat, with his hair
cut short, a Puritan looked very
different, from a cavalier Of the
18th century. The cavaliers wore
jaunty hats, often with pIumes. 1t
was their custom to let their hair
grow long. and some Of them curled
their hair.
In the middle of the nth century
