Captive Meets Brother, Britain

New York City. A New York
Times wireless dispatch says that an
Italian prisoner was being driven to
work on farm in England recently
when he was astonished to see his
brother, in an American uniform,
standing at the roadside. When he
called to the driver to stop, the latter
did so, and the brothers embraced in
Italian style.

IF THE letter of the law works an
i injustice, can the courts intervene
to prevent such injustice? This, In
brief, was the question presented to
the u. S. Supreme Court recently in
draft case involving a member Of the
religious sect, Jehovah's Witness. The
august court decided, with only one
member dissenting, that the law must
take it's course, regardless of whether
it worked for justice or injustice.
Conscripted men must report for in
duction before getting court review of
their draft classification, the Supreme
Court ruled in an 8 to l opinion by
Justice Hugo L. Black, Justice Frank
Murphy dissenting. The opinion was
handed won Jan. in the case of Nick
Falbo, Pennsylvania Jehovah's Wit
ness, who claimed exemption as min
lister. This claim was denied by his
draft board.
Charging error and prejudice, Falbo
did not report for duty, was arrested
and sentenced to years in prison by
the federal court at Pittsburgh.
The American Civil Liberties Union
filed brief in support of Falbo's con-
tention declaring:
"The decision leaves us just where
we were before 1t does not relieve
conscientious objectors who refuse to
go into the army to test their rights.
1t will do nothing to stop the stream
to prison men improperly classified by
local and appeals boards"
Justice Black, for the majority,
held: "The narrow question therefore
presented by this case is whether Con-
gress has authorized judicial review of
the propriety of boards classified
tion in criminal prosecution for will
full violation of an order directing a
registrant to report for the last step
in the selective process. We think it
has not.
Surely if Congress had intended to
authorize interference with that pro-
cess by intermediate challenges of or
ders to report, it would have said so. y
i
Justice Murphy's dissent is worthy
of close study by every trade unionist,
by every citizen who wishes to see the
law and the courts protect human
rights. He said:
Common sense and justice dictate
that a citizen accused of crime
should have the fullest hearing posi-
BILE, plus the opportunity to present
every reasonable defense. Only an un-
enlightened Jurisprudence condemns
an individual without according him
those rights. Such denial is especially
oppressive where a full hearing might
disclose that the administrative action
underlying the prosecution is the
product of excess wartime emotions.
Experience demonstrates that in time
of war individual liberties cannot al
ways be entrusted safely to uncon-
trolled administrative discretion.
"It is evident that there is no expli-

Like you always have while living
On this planet here below
Getting much and never giving
To help the needy! You know it's
so.
Hoarding penny, dime and dollar
And quarters till the eagle squeals
No good then for you to boiler
You'll find out then just how it

How it feels to suffer pain
Pain of limb and fevered brow
Pain of body and of brain
With no remedy for it now.
You'll remember many ways
That you could have helped the
poor
You'll recall the bitter days
When you drove them from your

So if the devil hasn't got you
Time you read these lines of mine
I'll tell you what you better do
Give cent of every dime.
And a dime of every dollar
For benevolences and the poor
And you'll never have to boiler:

AYIATORS NEED SPECIAL FOOD

Great strides have been made in
aviation medicine as a result of
this war. The public knows that
aviators eat lots of Vitamin A rich
foods such as carrots, for better
night sight Some of the other find
lngs are of interest to an aviation
conscious public and may be put to
practical use by air-minded trave-
lers.
When They Become AirSick
Studies show that air-sickness,
the bends" abdominal discomfort
and cramps may be controlled, at
least in part. by diet. Air-sickness
is similar to sea sickness and the
sight or smell of food may bring on
the condition or make it worse. On
the other hand an empty stomach
is as likely to cause air-sickness as
is a heavy greasy meal. Filters find
that a light bland meal eaten one
OF two hours before a flight brings
hest results. If the air-sick person
is slightly hungry, a small ice cold
or steaming hot meal of food that
is not greasy and which has little
natural odor and seasoning, will
help him TO feel better. When sick
he should drink very little fluid for
too much may cause him to be maui
seated again.
To Avoid Cramps
The higher the flight, the less
the atmospheric pressure; conse-
quently gases trapped in the diges-
tive tract can expand and cause
great discomfort. Studies indicate
that about half of the filters who
reach attitudes of over 10000 feet
experience this discomfort, and it
may continue as much as "a hours
after they return to sea level. To
avoid these cramps, it has been
found helpful to give small meals
instead of three large ones and to
eliminate gas-cOntaining and gas
forming foods from the diet.
Disseminating foods include
carbonated drinks. frOthy drinks,
such as milk shakes, wine. beer,
ale and ice creams containing a
large proportion of air.
Foods found TO be gas-forming
are beans. lentils, cabbage, sauer-
kraut, cauliflOwer, corn. onions, /
eggs. large quantities of fruit and
its juices, fermentable drinks as
beer and matted milk. gas-forming
powders such as sodium bicarbo- /
Late
In addition. smoking, chewing
gum. drinking through straws with .
resultant swallowing of air often
causes discomfort.
''lIendS" More Severe Ii
Overweight
- When filters climb rapidly, the .
sudden decrease in air pressure
causes sudden release of tiny
sas bubbles into the blood and It's
sues. Overweight filters are more
likely to develop the bends" than
lean ones. For this as well as other
reasons aviators should keep at
their ideal weight.
Air. Minded Travellers Take 4
Lesson
To be comfortable when flying.
flying travellers who take cue
from aviation medicine will: % /
cat five small well balanced bland
meals days. (2) avoid gas forming
and containing foods before and
during a flight. Those who eat
wisely every day and keep their
ideal weight will probably be bet
ter filters and have the additional
satisfaction of knowing their
friends envy their trim waistlines.

Important Notice To Service Men
And Their Families


Since the outbreak of war be-
tween the United States and the
Axis countries the publishers of
the MILFORD CHRONICLE have
been sending the CHRONICLE each
week FREE to all men and women
in the armed forces from Kent or
Sussex counties who requested, or
whose family requested it.
The list at the present time ap-
proximates 1000 copies which we
are mailing FREE to the boys and
girls each week.
The sWar Production Board has
now issued an order which prohib-
its all publishers from sending
FREE copies of all newspapers TO
the men and women in the service.
This order was made necessary by
the increasing scarcity of news
print paper.
Because of this order we are
compelled to Immediately discon-
tinue sending FREE copies of the
MILFORD CHRONICLE to service
men and women.
1t is with regret that we make
this announcement. We know from
the hundreds of letters which we
have received from our soldiers ana
sailors how much they have en-
loved the MILFORD CHRONICLE.
We had hoped that we could con-
tinue this contribution to the ser
vice men until hostilities ceased
but the War Production Board
rules otherwise.
Under the order stopping all
FREE copies, we are allowed to
mail PAID IN ADVANCE copies.
We will be only too glad to receive
paid subscriptions for the soldiers
and sailors, either from the service
men themselves. or from their fam
lily or friends who desire the Chron-
icle mailed to them.

In your issue of August II was a
letter from Wilson Sockrider. stat
ing that he was trying to locate me
on Oahu, Hawaiin Islands. | sin
cerely hope that he isn't trying too
hard, as it has been several months
since l was there. l mentioned the
above fact because l thought it
rather amusing. l hope that it
does not make Wilson feel badly as
l really do appreciate his trying
to locate me.
Since leaving the Hawaiian Is
lands 1 participated in the retak-
ing of Guam, NJ. l.. and just now
cannot state my present location.
but you see. l have been getting
around.
In closing, may 1 again express
