WALLACE PRESIDENT RAISES
DOUBTS ABOUT NELSON

(DOS Angeles 11meS)
President Roosevelt says that Donald
NJ. Nelson, War Production Board chief,
is going to China on very important
missions and is by no means being kicked
in the teeth because of his recent dis
agreement with the army and navy over
resumption of civilian production.
However, the President said virtually
the same thing about Henry Wallace
when it was reported Wallace was being
sent to China so that arrangements to
drop him as e-president could be
made conveniently behind his back. Wal
lace, the President insisted, was bound
for Chungking on a very important mis-
sion What was important about it de-
veloped at the Chicago convention, when
Bosses Hague, Flynn, Kelly and Hanne-
gan deftly dropped Wallace in the lake
with the Presidents concurrence.
1t was an old Chinese custom in the i'm
perial days to send a silk bowstring to
someone who had incurred the Emperors
displeasure. The recipient was expected
to strange himself with it. All the silk
is needed now for parachutes, but these
trips to China may be intended to serve
somewhat the same purpose. If Mr.. Mel
son has not put tacks in his chair before
leaving, he may find his deputy, Charles
E. Wilson firmly seated there on his
return.

EDUCATION NOW!
CChristian Science Monitor)

Parents and other public-spirited clti-
zens have an important opportunity to
contribute to post war welfare in the
United States by taking part between
now and the reopening of the schools in
a drive to get high school children back to
their classrOOms
Experienced workers with young peo-
pie declare that it is extremely difficult
to make up" what is lost by absence
from the last year or two of high school.
Children promise themselves they will go
to night school, but they usually don't.
Young people of today have not lived
long enough to remember what it is like
when one has real competition in the job
market. Then skill, knowledge, and train
ing prove their value. There will be more
competition in the job-market after the
war. Moreover, many young men and
women will later decide they would like
to get a college education-and this they
cannot even apply for unless they have
a secOnd-schoOl diploma.
Parents can help as much as anyone in
this laudable effort to keep children on
the straight and fair path of education
as long as possible. They can hold in
their own view high esteem for educa-
ton and transmit this viewpoint to their
young sons and daughters-and they can
even bring a little parental pressure to
bear in the matter. To do so would be the
highest kindness to the children, as we'll
as patriotic service to the country

came involved with all three.
The pigeon came first.
Flanagan was poking around a
deserted Jap command post when
the bird Strutted up to him, but
Coyly resisted his efforts to coax it
near him.
He lunged at it, but it hoppeC out
cf his way. Another lunge sent it
up into a tree.
Conscience-stricken but desperate,
he shot the bird and a few minutes
later his commanding officer was
lauding him FOR intercepting valu-
able information.
At the end of a hard day of bat
tie, Flanagan crawled into an aban-
Cioned Jap dugout for nights rest,
but a sudden yCWling and splitting
scared him so badly he almost shot
it, which turned out to be a three
legged cat.
Flanagan forgave and forgot and
made frientS with the feline.
That night the Japs opened up on
the area with artillery, and one
shell made direct hit on Flanni-
gan's dugout. 1t failed to pene-
trate, however, and in checking the
condition of his haven afterwards,
Flanagan founo a picture of the
vision of Bernadet.e hanging on the
wall almost where the she'll hit.
