Here's a Rembrandt-like por-
trait OF the "Pitchfork":
His dress exaggerated the
unfavOrable demeanor. Con-
spicuous untidiness befitted ono
who said, Il am n rude man and
don't care Although In winter
ne affected the piccadiIly collar,
Ascot tie and Prince Albert
coat conventional to politicians,
his coat dangled like n dressing
sack, often his collar yawned
and his tie strayed outside his
vest and sometimes his shoes
were unpublished and his trous-
ers increased. His broad
brimmed plantation hat was
dinted from overuse and pulled
down 20 shade his face. During
the warm months formalities Of
dress were largely forgotten.
Then an alpaca coat, often rusty
with age, displaced the Prince
Albert and n shaptiess panama
supplanted the felt hat. C0lored
galluses were exposed and sum-
mer shirts were often travel
stained"
When il became bruited about
in Washington that Ben was
going Ito let fly" in the Senate
II was like running 10 a fire.
Tillman had only one eye, but
that one eye saw through more
senatorial stuffed shirts than
any one else with two eyes.
Would 10 heaven that we had
a "Pitchfork Ben" now loose in

bladders TO finders
AN INSPIRING BOOK
The l.. S. A. hasn't been all
politicians, inventors and to-
bacco chawin' pioneers! Get
acquainted with what this great
country of ours has done for
science by reading Bernard
Jaffe's Men OF Science in
America" (Simon & Schuste).
There is real drama in the
long story Of Americas contri-
button 10 domestic and world
science. There is the stirring
story OF Americas gift Of
aneSthetics TO the world when
the most eminent surgeons and
medical research men of Eu-
rope had given ii up as an inn
possibility.
There is the breath taking
hunt for the huge dinosaurs of
the great West which had just
been opened up 10 paleontolo-
gists by the transcontinental
railroad. There is the coming
of DarwiniSm 10 the United
States in 1859 and the impact
Of this revolutionary concept on
the thinking and actions Of
millions of people during and
after the Civil War.
There is the invention and
construction of bigger and still
bigger telescopes and cyclotrons
10 search out the mysteries of
the infinite universe and the
infinitesimal atom.
These and other exciting tales
are told for the hyman in Ian
guage which is neither over
scientific nor over-simplified.
The book clearly shows that
the record OF Americas achieve
ments in science stands up
favorably with the achieve
ments of the scientific centers
of Europe. 1t should destroy,
among other notions, the popu-
larry held belief that America
has made great strides in tech
nology and invention, but has
offered little in the field of
pure and theoretical science.
An inspiring book.

lessor and citizen. Having be
European countries, where
socialism in one form or an
other has always existed, he
knows that socialism Is the
road to serfdom. .
Socialism in any form (the
national socialism OF Hitler, the
corporative-state socialism Of
Mussolini or the communized
socialism of Lenin and Stalin)
is serfdom, Mr.. Hayek tells us.
And. further than that, the
u. S. A. and England are going
that way, he says. Any one
who has watched the rise OF
parasitic government here and
In England land also in Aus
tralia and New Zealand) can
not doubt II.
THE WAY NAILS DID 1T
Fool! to think you can live
on the state and retain your
Liberties! You may as well at
tempt to square the circle.
Here Is this grave thinkers
warning 20 us:
The author has spent about
half Of his adult life In his
native Austria, In close touch
with German intellectual life
and the other half In the United
mates and England. In the
tier period he has become In
creasingly convinced that at
least some of the forces which
have destroyed freedom In Ger
many are also at work here
and that the character and the
source of this danger are, II
possible, even less understood
than they were In Germany.
The supreme tragedy Is still
not seen that In Germany Il
was largely people OF good viii,
men who were admired and
held mp as models In the demo-
cratic countries, who prepared
the way for. II they did not
actually create, the forces
which now stand for every
thing they detest."
TILLMAN'S CLASSIC
In other words, we are now
In our new craze OF social
legislation" playing with fire.
We are building a FrankenStein
which will some day get be-
yond our control Then will
come our Hitler. our Stain,
our Mussolini. already family
foreshadowed in Huey Long.
AS John Chamberlain says,
zone Of the great books OF this
century" l agree.
He threatened in 1894 TO jab
a pitchfork in the side Of PreSi-
dent Grover Cleveland.
From that moment he be-
came nationally known as
"Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, the
most fascina ing. blasphemous,
believing, gaudy but thoroughly
honest demagogue our de-
mocracy has Uttered. Tillman
was senator from South Caro-
lima from 1895 to 1918 when
lbe died.

Rules for Liberty

Extra seconds in the wash room Needless talk, and hanging round Are helping Hitler and Hirohito Plant our soldiers underground. Have you a brother over there Or perhaps a son or sweetheart? Do you think they waste precious
 minutes Giving alibis and such? "This gums too heavy Sergeant" My helmet fits too tight" Do you realize if they did this That we'd never win this fight2 Compared to what they're doing It Is such little thing To obey safety rulings That are designed to bring Safety and comfort to you And the Liberty you crave. When you gripe and grunble You surely are not brave. These rules are made to help you So If you must complain Take 1t out in working Thus give our enemies the painI Lost times help to Hitler And a crack at Liberty. So get busy, do your duty. Obey rules and keep us free.

A Mothers Prayer

Dear God, as bow on pended knee With my heart in turmoil, come
 to Thee; Although this war has caused my
 sons to roam Please some day guide their teee
 back home. It seems like only yesterday my
 Benny boy was on his ways And Tommy, dear,. was 30 very
 sweet As he toddled about on unsteady
 feet. Oh, just a. few short hours ago How proud I was as l watched
 them grow. l know dear God there's . war to
 be won, And 1t takes strong men like my
 two sons; I certainly hate to bother You, But guess I worry as all moth-
 CTS do. When the sunshine comes to stay
 again And peace is here in array again. When all men finally cease to roam, Let my sons live, to come back
 home

A SEAMAN'S INVERTEBRATES
 PRAYER

As we sit here dreaming alone to-
 night There's a submarine leaving on its way, to fight; Yes, we've seen them come and
 we've seen them go, It isn't unusual around here, you
 know; It's built just like others from
 stem to stern But it carries our sweetheartS for
 whom we yearn, And we pray each night and each
 day too That the Lord above will see them
 thru. As it slips out of the harbor and
 into the night Our love will follow, like shin-
 ming light; It's hard to see them go, that's true But we must remember, they've a
 job to do, But they'll come back when it's
 over and done And once more we'll see the shin
 ing sun. We'll live and smile in the same
 old way But our hearts will be waiting for
 that triumphant day; When God sees fit to see us thru And sends us back our boys in
 blue; So to the Mighty BREAM we drink
 a toast And of its men we'll proudly boast, May luck and good fortune always
 be theirs, For that alone will be our prayers.

Dear Sir:
 We have seen the Sub" staff pick the Queen of E. B." from the girls that work here; how about picking King of E. B.?" We think all the girls and fellows would cooperate and send in pic- lures of men who are eligible. We think this would arouse a lot of interest as well as giving the men break. Couldn't you see it clear to arrange this for us? We are sure that the one the staff picks will be a good choice.
 Hoping to see your answer in the next issue of The Sub we remain.
 Sincerely yours, Some Employees

NO PEACE TODAY

How many more horror stories from the Philippines; how many more shots of devastated Europe do the ad vocates of Peace Now need reminders that victory come only after the aggressor nations have been completely defeated?
 Furthermore what makes these same advocates so sure that the Allies are in position to negotiate peace? At this very moment Hitler still has firm grip on the throat of Western Europe and too, he still has powerful army. True this army has been forced to withdraw from many

 Thinking only of their loved ones, forgetting not what life is worth, So like them, may we fight one ward, and bring near the victorious end, So our lads may return to us, 90 that friend may commune with friend.

ment have been stirred into a little action by finding just how little real representation we have in the Union. At a report meeting re- gently we signed up some thirty men in a body and at the same time reelected Don Foster as the Main Yard representative along with Red" Davis.
 For the benefit of the rest of the plants welderS let me say that 1t is imperative for us to play a part in the Union. Unless we all sign up and elect the right men to pre- sent our problems and grievances to the management we will have to accept any condition of employ ment here without the opportunity of collective redress. We see so many of our number who don't give damn about how anything goes until something happens that just doesn't please them, and then too late, and as usual, they all have too much to say.
 I'm glad for a few guys like MaddockS, Racine, Davis, Foster, etc, who are not afraid to give the rest of us welders their point of view. Of course it doesn't take much couage to talk about the management when they are way up there on the hill, I wonder how much some of the locker room boys Victory yard locker room boys, too!D would say if they got a chance to talk to Robinson, Barnes, Jones and the rest of the management!!
 There has been so much said about this bonus business that I don't know whether or not 1t is all clear to all of us. The official word from the company to our business manager was that due to the illness of key man in that de- partment the figures were held up. This was Monday. February 14th. The following Friday in the New London Day it was announced that the bonus would amount to four per cent of the first five weeks of the year. Fine, but what would have happened If this key man had passed away? It Is not plaus- ible at all to me that concern as large as the Electric Boat Com pany would intrust such vital work to one person. Anyway by the time this Sub is out I hope we all get our four per cent
 The Action Committee took an election meeting up in Siberia and Burner Harold Clarke of Mather Avenue, Groton, was reelected as representative for that shop .. while we were there we found Tim O'Connor still out on the sick list and Foreman Hulivan playing center (only it was a poker game). We were sorry to find Tim still out and hope he will be back at his post again, but quick.
 MT. Pat Herbert of the Victory Yard Electricians made me feel quite elated. I have often won- dered if anyone ever did read this column However, every kick is a boost, and how this gentleman ever figured out that word unin- voilable Isdon't know. I'm sure it can't be found in the dictionary the way I built the word, that is, unless I write a new dictionary, Thank, anyway.
