NEWSREEL SHOWS
MISSING SOLDIER

NEW YORK-(FP)- Not everyone can
go to the neighborhood movie and find
out what has happened to a son or
sweetheart reported missing in action
thousands of miles away on some fight
ing front But that is exactly what hap
pened to the mother and sweetheart of
Salvatore Scalare, member of Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers CCIO) from
whom they had not heard since Corregi-
dor.
Mrs. Scalare and Jennie Macari, also
an ACW member, sat in a Loew's theater
in Quenns Borough, N. Y.
I'VE sat there quietly watching the
newsreel" Jennie said, and suddenly
we saw Sal He was marching among
the captured American soldiers with his
hands raised high in the air and with
cruel-looking japanese guards watching
them.
"Hi1 mother shrieked and when the
management of the theater found out
what happened, they let us see the whole
reel, which had been captured from the
Japanese. They even gave us a copy of
the film. Sails mother has it now. You
can see him as plain as could be-"

FIVE STATES AGREE
TO FEDERAL BALLOT
FOR ARMED FORCES

WASHINGTON -(FP) P)-Although vir-
tually all Governors replying to Presi-
dent Roosevelts QUESTIONABLE on the SOL
dier vote bill loudly affirmed their de-
sire to see the nations fighters ballot for
candidates this year, only five said flatly
their states would accept federal ballot.
The political hot potato was fumbled
around by most of the Governors and
newspaper opinion here March 20 was
that far less than half of the states
would hold the federal ballot legal.
States willing to permit the armed
forces to use a simplified federal ballot
form are California, Maryland, North
Carolina, Florida and Washington. In
Alabama the federal ballot will be legal
only for candidates for senator and rep
resentative.
Thirteen states plan to do nothing to
legalize the federal ballot. They are
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia,
Birginia, Iowa, Idaho, Mississippi West
Virginia, Arizonia, Ohio, Colorado and
Montana.
The White House said no answers had
been receive5 from Michigan, Texas,
Tennessee, South Carolina, Wyoming
and oregon.
Failure to approve the federal ballot
plan means the voter overseas would have
to register by mail, request that ballot
be sent him, and then return it to his
home county. In the poll tax states he
would have To- prove he had paid that
levy.

The Independent candidates for the
office of school trustees are Richard P.
Donovan and Stephen Harvey, both Of
whom are highly qualified for the posi-
ton. These men have pledged them
selves to an honest, efficient and intel
ligent administration of school affairs.
At the present time the Peoples ticket
is in control of the board and has been
in control for a number of years. There
are two hold-over Independent ticket
trustees now on the board William Cay
and Tom Hosty, and the election Of Mr
Donovan and Mr. Harvey would again
put the Independents in the majority
It is generally felt that a change in ad-
ministration of the schools is a healthy
thing. Is is sometimes overlooked that
the school district spends almost a mil
lion dollars year
The privilege Of exercising the fran
chise in school elections should be taken
advantage of although in some instances
in the past people have shown a great
deal of apathy From present indica-
tons however, the election this year
will see one Of the largest turnouts in
recent times.

Men at Front Laud Production Victory

Some months ago a national
 magazine told the story of how a
 California plant-the Joshua Hen
 dy Iron Works-won a great pro-
 duction victory in turning out the
 Navy's first batch of new rocket
 launchers in time to meet an al-
 most impossible deadline. The shop
 received the Navy's request for
 the then secret weapon one Thurs
 day afternoon. The men in the
 plant worked without sleep for al-
 most an entire week, unshaven, un- washed, snatching a bite to eat when they could, unswervingly sticking on the job until midnight the following Thursday the urg-
 ent order was ready for shipment. Service men abroad read the story-and the letters they have sent to the Hendy Works leave no doubt that they are not only vi- tally interested in the kind of sup port they are receiving on the home front, but eager to express their grateful appreciation of job

UNDERD0C STARS
AT AA PLAYOFFS

CAMP DAVIS, Feb. 11.-lRHThe
uncertainties of basketball were
thoroughly demonstrated last night
in six IA tournament games.
In five of the court clashes the
underdog swept aside the pre-game
favorite. American League top
notchers, the 584th Officers and
the 117th EN-, were both toppled
in surprising upsets. Steadily i'm
proving from week to week the
556th EN- outhustled the 584th Off
and prevailed, 1925. Hodges, Weld
man, Shade, and Neff paced the
attack while Davis and Residence
fought vainly to stem their teams
reversal of form.
Proud possessor of five wins in
six starts the 117th EN-, after rum
ming up a 1876 halftime lead, col
lapsed in the second half and
bowed, $3.50, to the lowly DIP
Officer team. Scott and Lockers
went on a scoring rampage in the
second half and swayed the ver-
dict to DIP. Postolese, Kozlowski,
and Jenneke, were the chief stand
ard-bearers for the 117th in this
American League meeting.
Another short-ender in pre-calcu-
lations, the 517th took the measure
of the 584th EN-, 1926. Davidson's
10 points spiced the triumph. Ken
ney and Thompson provided the
losers dynamite.
The 44th gained ground in the
Northern League race by dispos-
ing of Station Complement, 40-23.
Goldberg, Hunter, and Remnan
were the heavy gunnecs for the
victors and Mcguire and Garcia
were prominent for the defeated
outfit
Although Charland petted %
points for Btry K, AAS, in South
ern League encounter, the 329th
had more scoring balance and took
one-point decision in making its
debut in Farnsworth Hall. Burke,
Perrello, Signorino. Gentle, and
Lavinthal proved an able starting
unit. Aiding the unstoppable Char
land were Organ and Claflin but
their efforts fell short of the mark.
A last quarter splurge earned
the 235th EN- top rating in the
Int. loop when Miles five baskets
broke the game wide open and
lowered Btry I, AAS, 1928, out
Maple Hill way. Ragster's splen-
did floorplay and four timely field
goals were other reasons for the
235th success. Bell and Corbett
kept the losers up there until Miles
swung the tide for 235th.
