Appreciation for Capitol Guides

Appreclat1On tor Capitol Guides
10 the Editor of The Star:
May call your attention to the fact
that for the past three years the De-
tense Commission of the Washington
Federation of Churches has been con-
ducting sightseeing tours on Saturday
afternoons including the National GAL
lery OF Art, the Capitol, the Supreme
Court Building and the Library of Con-
gress. These tours have been arranged
especially for service men and women
who are visiting the Capital for the
first time
Harry Nash, chief guide at the Cap
itol, has been more than helpful in
offering the services Of his staff during
the afternoon tours for an estimated
5000 service people every Saturday for
the past three years.
We have received many fine compli-
ments from service men and women
on the way in which they are guided
about the Capitol during their short
stay in Washington.

Director. Defense Commission of the
Churches.

last he saw of the bomber, it was
twisting crafty to the sea, and
the attack was shattered.
Now the air was comparatively
quiet, and as safe a place as man
could ask. Z-day was over. back
there in the Middle West, Little
Jack would be sleeping; if John
Collins were only there, he could
feel sorry for those guys pacing the
corridor and sweating blood. He
wondered how Pete Kelly was
getting along. and whether Kelly
would be able to tell him what the
message was when he sat down on
the flat-top again.
Bur there was time to worry,
too. Maybe. after all, something
had gone wrong. =.

Collins sat up straight. Com
munications had been restored.

was interrupted by static, and
then doomed out clearly again:
Conn TaskFor's congratulations
also to Ensign Collins. The Fox
schedule of this date carried the
following message. Quote Inform

hands doing well unquote."
The TBS phones were suddenly
filled with raucous laughter. En-
sign J. D. Collins fighter plane
wabbled as he broke into a profuse
perspiration.
Twins! Now he knew what those
two fingers Kelly had held up to
him meant. Victory, indeed!
And now he knew what that
Jap dive bomber was for.
Some day Jill would be big
enough to understand about med

a twisting climb to meet the first
Jap. All at once he knew that
everything was all right. Why.
with the time differential, it was
already evening back at home!
Z-day was over!
He overshot in his eagerness to
close with the first Jap plane, and
flew past one of his wingmates -
Snyder - who was shooting it out
with a pair of the Zeros. One OF
these tried to get on Snyder's
tail, and very nearly succeeded.
This is for Little Jackr yelled
Ensign Collins, hairing the Jap
in his ringsights and letting go
short, vicious burst from his guns.
The Jap went down smoking
and breaking into fame, and some
day when Little Jack was big
enough to understand, he could
hear about it. The ship Collins
had overshot was coming back,
head-on, this time. Collins chr-
tied: "And this one is for SueT
and let him have it. He had to 60.

Cune? The first two up. the first

McCune said. when you get

SNYDER had bagged the persis-
tent Son of Heaven who kept ask
ing for it, but the boys upstairs
weren't quite through. A forma-
ton of Jap dive bombers came in
the wake of the fighters, heading
for the American task force. Col
Inns sent his ship hurting after one
of these, and the rear gunner
opened up with stream of tracer.
He set his teeth. "And this one

in behind flaming guns. The bomb

IMPRESSIVE CATCH
The Poles announced they had
taken a sizeable bag of prisoners
in the fighting.
Dispatches from the front said
that in some places further west
Eighth Army troops drove
across the Foglia SO swiftly that
the Germans had not even had
time to lay mines.
Headquarters said, however
that the forces already at grips
with positions in the Gothic
line-on which the enemy is ex-
pected to make his main stand
in defense of northern Italy -
were meeting stiff resistance.
Reports from the field said
that not a Nazi was left on the
south bank of the Foglia for a
distance of 16 miles inland from
the Adriatic.
Other Eighth Army forces fur
Their inland, headquarters said,
were approaching the Foglia
after occupying the town of Ur-
bino and pushing on five miles
beyond in an advance through
difficult mountain terrain in the
Apennines. Urbino is an i'm
portant art center and the home
Of the national gallery of
Marche province.
On the central sector of the
front further advances in the
Upper Tiber and Arno valleys
also brought Allied troops close
to the Gothic Line.
North Of Pontassieve, which
is just east of Florence, several
important features were cap
tured, headquarters said, but
enemy resistance was reported
becoming stronger hourly in this
sector.
The situation on the Fifth
Army front in the west remained
unchanged.

WIDE DESTRUCTION
The dispatch added that a
plane trip over the fields, great
est in Europe except for those
in Russia itself, disclosed that
the Germans did everything pos
sible to destroy wells, pipelines,
derricks and equipment.
Fast, mobile Soviet squads
making up the advance guard
were strengthened by infan-
try and tanks that swept the
rich Ploesti oil fields into the
bullying bag of Russian victories,
then turned south toward the
Romanian capital.
A Russian war bulletin said
Gen. Rodion Y. Malinovsky' S
Second Ukranian army captured
more than 200 towns yesterday
around Ploesti and northeast OF
Bucharest, including Meriuta,
only II miles away.
(Other forces of Malinovsky's
army were believed developing
a major offensive against Hun
garian-held Pennsylvania high
in the Eastern Carpathian noun
tains rs miles north of Ploesti,

HUNGARY PENETRATED
(The Germans acknowledged
Russian entry into Hungarian
territory at two points and said
Hungarian and German troops
fought fiercely to plug gaps
carved out by the Russians, re-
ported to have won control OF
four principal passes into Tran
sylvania.)
While the Red Army was
knocking at the gates of Buch-
Arrest, Romanian peace delega-

CONSTANT ATTACKS
There was no rest anywhere
for the disorganized Germans
and Allied drives mushroomeo
over battlefields of the first
World War, covering in an hour
territory that it once took days
and weeks to conquer.
One force of Americans, head
ing east for the German from
tier, seized st. Dizier, ID miles
southeast of fallen Vitry and
pressed on to within 40 miles OF
the reversed Maginot line. The
Saar border Of Germany was 81
miles ahead of this force.
Forty-five miles ahead OF the
American drive was the gateway
city of Sedan, where the Ger
mans won the battle Of France
in 1910 by skirting the Maginot
line. Verdun, 40 miles north OF
st. Dizier, along with Metz and
Nancy were strongpoints of the
French defense line.
POINT WEST?
There have been reports the
Germans were able to reverse
guns to point west, but many
observers doubt that any real
reversal has been attempted.
This would take years, and the
Germans have had a few scant
weeks since it dawned upon
them that Allied armies were
loose and headed for their own
borders.
Equally, there Is no indication
that Eisenhower intends head
on attack through the Maginot
and Siegfried lines.
Spearheads are aimed instead
1t the Ardennes forest, skirting
the north end Of the Maginot and
leading into Germany where the
German chain Of forts probably
Is thinnest.

That marked the first appeal
ance of Macomb County's SD
preme Court Justice Reid on a
political ballot. Reid was again
candidate (and a successful
one) for this position in 1912
and 1916.
FAMILIAR NAMES
Bert v. Nunneley had designs
on becoming prosecuting attor-
ney, and the late Silas B. Spier,
father of Lt.-Col. James E,
Spier, circuit court judge now
serving the Army Air Force,
was cycling the circuit judgeship
as a Bull Moose" candidate.
The names of Walter Lehner,
and John Lungerhausen also
appear as political possibilities
for the offices of county survey
or and circuit court commission
er, respectively.
In 1916 the Democrats put
forth Robert Eldredge, Bert
Nunneley, and William T. Kelly,
for judge of probate, prosecut-
ing attorney, and circuit court
commissioner.
MORE AND MORE
Came the year 1918 and
George bankers was an aspirant
for the county clerkship. Ed
ward Halter Gather of Harry
and Howard) ran for register Of
deeds, Silas B. Spier for prose-
cutting attorney. Howard Groes-
beck, Gather of the present
coroner), sought the coroner's
office and William p. Rosso ran
for county road commissioner.
J. Alden Cressey, chief engi-
neer for Mount Clemens High
School, ran in 1918 on the Pro-
hibitionist Ticket for register of
deeds.
Two years later Mrs. Alice
Tucker ran as a prohibitionist
for the office of Register Of
Deeds. She was not blood rel
alive of Miss Alice L. Tucker, in
cumbent. The present Miss
Tucker first ran in 1892.
MEMORIES ALIVE
It was also in 1920 that the
Republicans entered the name
of Charles Rosso for sheriff, and
of John Lungerhausen for civ
cult court commissioner. The
Democrats espoused the causes
of Thomas L. Longstaff. Getty of
Mount Clemens Public Safety
director and city commissioner
for register Of deeds, and Will
liam T. Kelly for circuit court
commissioner.
In August OF 1922, Clifford
John, William Nank, Christian
Matthews, and George T. Smith
tried for the positions of circuit
court commission er, sheriff,
prosecuting attorney, and sher-
if respectively.
Getting into 1924 the book
more familiar names
when those of James B. Spier,
Robert L. Smith, Charles r.
Ullrich, and Fred Brandenburg
passed before the eyes of the
critical voter.
1924 ENTRIES
In that year James Spier ran
for the office of circuit court
later he aspired TO the county
commissioner, but two years
prosecuting attorneyship and
won. Wylie Wilkinson and Ro-
bert L. Smith were opposing
candidates for the job of sher-
iff, and Adrian Lingemann had
been a primary election oppon-
ent of Smith.
Those were the days of
dreams. So are these. For no one
can accuse the present multi
partisan method Of choosing
candidates as being delimited.
But to scan the list of old
time politicos brings back nos
talgic memories of the Mount
Clemens that was. But to the
present generation, turn your
faces eastward to greet a new
world and new sun. There's a
new crop of hopefuls around the
corner.
