Observe Navy
Day AT Weekly
Rotary Lunch

1t. Robert Shea, a veteran of 81
years in the U. S. Navy, was the
speaker at the weekly Pascagoula
Rotary Club luncheon Wednes-
day at the Community House in
a program which marked the OBJ
servance of Navy Day.
A. P. May, president, presided
at the meeting and introduced a
number of guests and visiting
Rotarians.
1t. Shea was introduced to the
gathering by w. r. Guest, execu-
tive vice president of the ingalls,
Shipbuilding Corporation, and ac-
companied by 1t. J. F. Bowling,
commanding officer of the Naval
Receiving Station here, who was
also introduced by MIR. Guest.
1t. Shea was a member of the
crew of the cruiser SAN Fran
CISCO" which played such a gall
liant role in the Pacific war and
whose crew won the Presidents
unit citation, and took part in the
invasion of Guadalcanal.
He told members of the growth
of the u. S. Navy, and of its pres
ent status of the greatest navy
of any nation in history with
over nine million tons of vessels,
$1,000 planes and a personnel of
four million.
VIZ r winning the war in the
Pacific. he added but it can be
likened to a l0-round prize fight
in which we have reached the
fourth round. 1t is the function
of the home front to stay on the
job and produce the materials
necessary to the final victory and
any relaxation in that effort
could prolong or even change the
course of the war, he added.
1t. Shea also related one of his
experiences while on the San
Francisco. The vessel was head
ing a small force bound on a night
raid on Jap shipping when IL
Japanese, mistaking the group
for one of their own task forces.

of the IL Jap destroyers were
sunk before they found out their
mistake.

By PALMER HOYT.

Publisher of the Portland oregonian.
PORTLAND, Greg, Feb. 23.-In
previous articles, we have discussed
the kind of reporting America is
getting in this, the greatest of her
wars. We have agreed that in so far
as the battle fronts are concerned,
the news coverage is increasingly
adequate. But there are still many
phases of the war about which we
are not sufficiently informed.
1t is important that we have the
nature of the war drummed into
us day by day through our news
papers, over the radio, in the maga-
zines and on the motion picture
screen. And I am not referring to
propaganda; am referring to the
facts of the overall war front.
1t isn't enough only to know
about our battles. We must also
understand the nature of the enemy,
both in his military contacts with
our troops and with his conduct Of
his affairs on his home front. We
must also understand how he thinks.
Two Reactions to Atrocities.
The release of the japanese
atrocity stories created a tremen-
dous furor in America. There were
two definite reactions noted. /.
A substantial number of persons
were sure that the release of this
tale of bestial murder was timed to
help the Fourth War Loan. 2.
There were lot of people who felt
that the stories weren't true. These
people had the theory that any
thing so horrible as the slaughter Of
some 10000 American and Filipino
troops could not be kept quiet for
so long a time.
Both points of view are wrong.
The release of the Bataan atrocities
had no connection with the Fourth
War Loan; they were released at
this time because the high COM
mand withdrew its objections, and,
of course, the stories are true be-
yond question, well documented and
proven. However, millions Of good,
honest Americans will still have to
be convinced. Their memory of
manufactured propaganda stories in
the last war has made them sus-
picious. This illustrates clearly the
danger of allowing important news
to be untold for months and years
and is further illustration of the
inevitable result of the manipulation
of vital war news at any time.
What ought we to know about the
war that we are not now learn
ing?
More Information Asked.
In the first place, we ought to
know more about the dangers and
privations of our troops across the
seas. We ought to have clearer
picture of what happens to our
planes in the west on even sue
cessful raid. Too often, stories of
the attacks on Germany are dis
missed with a recitation of the
enenly's high losses and our low
ones.
The public should be told that our
planes often come back with holes
in their wings that you could drive
a--truck through and that many
times a plane is filled with dead and
wounded. More stress should be
laid on the detailed facts of what
happens to our airmen in the bomb
ing of German strongholds. It

duced from Nazi broadcasts. Other
answers leak to us from the under
ground, while still other answers are
furnished by official news sources
OF the governments-in-exile.
1t cannot be denied that all this
is better than nothing, but the fact
remains 1t is still far from satis-
factory. When we consider how
quickly. the American people are
going to have to make up their
minds on number of complex prob.
lens after this war is won, it would
seem imperative that they be fur
nished with at least some pre-
liminary facts at the first possible
minute.
The stories of the war and the
stories of the nature of the enemy
will be credible and helpful only II
they are made a part Of each days
story of the war; part of the play
by-play reporting, If you please
that America must have if America
Evening star., 1944-02-23

Is to understand the war 30 that II
can understand the problems OF
making the peace.
The stories of the dead and the
dying, the stories Of the psychiatric
front, the stories of our wounded,
and the stories Of enemy atrocities
should be given the American pub
lie as a natural and normal part of
the kind Of war we are fighting.
Only this kind OF knowledge will
enable America to 60 through the
war to the bitter but necessary end
OF unconditional surrender and
through the Gethsemane of the
peace table.

URGES Wise HANDLING
OF The RACE PROBLEM

PORTLAN D, Ore, Oct. 18
(ANP) Members of the Optimist

ident of the First National Bank,
advise wise handling of the racial
problem here, where more than 49,
900 colored citizens live now as
compared to 1000 before the war.
Expressing optimism about the
gradual solution of grave national
and international problems that
the nation, McNaughton enumer-
ated them as:
/. The enormous burden of ma
tional debt.
2. The rising tides of racism, in
Guiding incipient anti-Semitism and
increasing antagonism to Negroes.
3. The struggle between nation
alism and totalitarian state and col
lectivism versus free enterprise and
opportunity.
"Unless we, as men of good will,
can handle intelligently and search
with an open mind for a sane So
luton to this and other problems
McNaughton warned, "We can
scarcely expect the nations lead
ers to handle successfully the larg-
er international issues.

have visited Portland recently con-

country as potent for trouble as

ies," he cautioned. "We must be

PATTERSON SUPPORTS BETTER
BETTER CONDUCT CAMPAIGN

TUSKEGEE, Oct. 1S (ANP)-
Lack of knowledge is not dis
grace unless the opportunity to ac-
quire it is wilfully Stunned" said
President F. D. Patterson in ad-
dressing the Tuskegee institute stu
dent body.
He counselled the students, as
they begin the work of the new
school year to "face facts concern
ing themselves as individuals" in
order properly to measure their
own needs in preparing for useful '
living and to evaluate the many
opportunities offered at Tuskegee
for cultural development.
Citing the early struggles of
Booker T. Washington in his quest
for knowledge, he explained how
Tuskegee's founder had faced the
facts concerning the discouraging
circumstances of his birth and early
youth and then determined to over
come them.
Touching upon the subject Of
public behavior of some Negroes
which is currently discussed in the
press, DR.. Patterson stated that he
Frequently was shocked at the be-
havior of some of our young peo-
pie, on trains, street corners and

''that you as students and gradu-
