United Press War COrrespOndentyi
 Saipan, Marianas. November 24. - (UP) = A giant, SiIvery Super fortress named "TOkyo Rose," pi. loted by Captain Ralph D. Steakley, Jefferson, Ohio, cruised over Tokyo photographs of strategic targets to for 35 minutes making crystal-clear pave the way for the second raid of the war on the Japanese capital.
 The daring crew, the first Ameris can airmen to fly over Tokyo since It. General JonoeS H. Doolittle'S flyers raided the city in April, 1922, peered down on vital war industries and strategic targets which Japan has guarded jealously for the last 10 years.
 Japanese radio announcers screamed fanatically that U. S. planes were over the city, then ad- ded as a face-savinb afterthought that "an American plane fled before our attack"
 Not content with the first valuable photo-flight, the same crew flew over the famed target twice more, noting that Ack-Ack became more accurate with each trip.
 Steakley and his 10-man crew saw from 19 to 21 enemy intercepting planes on their first trip but Jap pilots apparently were hesitant to attack the superfort with its briSt- ling guns and made no attempts to get within shooting range.
 Despite the breathleSs altitude, the crew and cameras clearly saw and recorded Jap airfields studded with fighter planes and saw Hiro- hitoS palace and factories. The first sight to greet their eyes was famous snow-capped Mt. Fujiyama.
 We did not know what to ex- pect," steakley said, land we were excited. We settled down soon be- cause we had work to do.'
 The crew said that Steakley coolly piloted the gigantic plane over target after target. He was as elated as the crew ofter the flight. Their emotions hardly compared to those of intelligence officers who termed the photos the best pictures of enemy targets ever taken.
 Second It. Charles c. Hart, Kan- sas City, Mo, the photo navigator said the Jap Ack-Ack on the first strip was sporadic but two subse- quent trips found the barrage in- tensified.
 "In fact, the Ack-Ack got too close as far as I'm concerned" Hart said. "A piece of shrapnel nicked the glass over my head in the green house where I was directing the flight"
 The entire crew was decroated at the Saipan base, Steakley receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross. The navigator, 1st It. Claude K. Stan- baugh, San Antonio, Texas, received the Oak Leaf Cluster to the Air Medal and the rest of the crew got Air Medals.
 The crew unanimously declared that "it was no picnic but worth every bit of a few anxious moments when we heard Jap radio announc- CTS holler and we saw the Zeros shy away"

Industry Awaits Government Green Light To Begin Reconvero
By S. BURTON HEATH NEA Stan Writer

Acting WIPE Chairman J. A.. Krug's statement that every help will be given to industry, in recon verting from war to civilian goods manufacture, and that all possible red tape will be cut and burned, has greatly encouraged everybody who realizes the magnitude and the gravity of the task.
 Unfortunately, there are too many who do not understand how com plex the job is in some of the major industries in which we must establiss a sound, thriving postwar economy.
 Reconversion in a garment fac- tory isn't very complicated. The same cutting and sewing machines used for uniforms will make suits, coats and dresses. Reconversion in 8 lumber yard looks simple. In- stead of going into army camps or to shipyards, beams and boards just start flowing toward home construc- tion buyers.
 It isn't quite that simple. But the problem in an industry whose war product closely resembles it's civilian product isn't anything like that-to take an extreme example of the automobile industry.
 When the big car makers shift ed to aircraft, tanks, and literally hundreds of products entirely alien to their usual activities, they had to scrap the elaborate mass pro- duction setups on which they had spent millions of dollars, and to discard or store much of the equip ment used in making cars.
 Before they can turn out the first postwar automobile they have to acquire new machine tools to replace those removed when they shifted to war production. They have to move = somewhere - the vast layoutS of special tools that

 IN NAZI PRISON

Denver (UP) = Lawrence K. Whipp, formerly of Denver, once again is playing an organ in a church in France, after having been confined to a German concentration camp since the Nazis occupied that country, according to word received by friends here.
 Whipp, native of Cripple Creek, Col, got his musical start at St. Johns Episcopal cathedral here, where he became an organiSt after giving up his job as a bank teller.
 Later he went to New York City to study and was an organist at St. Thomas Episcopal church. In Paris he played at the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity for g years.
 The night Germany declared war on the United States, three Nazi officers entered the fashionable cathedral and arrested him in the name of the Greater German Reich"
 In a concentration camp at Clairfontaine, Whipp was named a judge to try offenders and fix pen- alties. Once the Nazis ordered him to play concert, and he gave such feeling to the classic German compositions that even the Nazis cheered and his prisoner official kissed his hand.
 Whipp re-entered Paris with the American and British forces. It. Gen. John V. Lee, formerly of Dem yer, who is deputy commander for Gen. Eisenhower, was present at a religious celebration he played at.
 The organist served as acting pastor during the German occupa- tion and conducted funerals for 40 Americans and baptized six in- fants, one a grandson of Clemen- ceau.

now fill their working space. Then they have to shift around what has been retailed of their own equip ment, install the replacement tools, and get the whole production line into functioning order.
 It is not going to be possible in any large-scale manufacturing enterprise that has been convert ed to making new types of prod uct, to begin at once making 8 few civilian pieces, and gradually step up to full output. Much work has to be done before any civilian pro- duction can begin. This will take time. Until it is done, jobs can not be given to nose of the men who will be thrown out of work and demobilized from the Army.
 To satisfy this need, advance

ders" for the necessary equipment for conversion.
 That is a step in the right direc- tion. The idea is that the "hold" will be taken from orders as fast as machine tool capacity can be spared from war production.
 But many of the machine tool cmopanies are devoting much of their production to subcontracting on war material. If this were shift ed to other subcontractors and the machine tool firms were given the go-head on conversion equipment for civilian production, the time gap of unemployment for at least hundreds of thousands could be de- creased, and we could begin getting civilian consumption goods much more quickly.

planning is necessary. Most large industries now know almost exactly what they want to begin doing. They could place orlers today for the necessary tools or, having them plus a green light, they could begin tomorrow installing them and getting ready for civilian production.

 The WIPE under plain made by Donald Nelson before he was sent to China and then relieved as war production boss, is permitting industries to obtain materials and divert manpower to make one prototype or working model of it's postwar product, and to place with machine tool companies "hold or-

1000 LAPS GET
 PURPLE HEARTS

Camp Edwards, Mass, Nov. 24 - (UP) = More than 1000 of HOO members of the famed Japanese American infantry battalion have received the Purple Heart for wounds sustained in action, Second Lieutenant Richard N. Hamasaki of Honolulu, wounded officer of the unit, said today.
 HamaSaki, a 25-year-old selectee who joined the battalion in March, 1941, was one of nine Japanese American casualties who arrived at the station hospital here for treat ment. It was the first contingent of Japanese-Americans evacuated to New England.
 Commissioned on the field at An- zio Beachhead, Hamsaaki was wounded for the fourth time during the invasion of southern France. His unit previously fought in Italy.
 Only two battalion members were captured by Germans while the Tooth fought in Italy, said Hama saki.
 He asserted that only a few of the men spoke Japanese.
 We used them for communica- tion wrok when We suspected the Germans were intercepting our messages or might have tapped our wires," he said.
 Other Japanese Americans under treatment here include: Private First Class Kenneth Tanaka of Ka- ilua Oahu, Hawaii; Private Thomas Tanaka of Livingstone, Cal, (no relations); Technical Sergeant George T, Suzuki, of Q,011 Foster street) Chicago; Staff Sergeant Stanley s. Kebayshi of Paia, Hawaii and Private First Class Hiroshi Ko- hashi of Will Francu, Hules, Ha- waii.

On Sunday July %, the congregation
of St. Elias Orthodox Church of Toledo,
Ohio, will celebrate St. Elias Day. Most
Reverend Anthony Bashir,D. D. Archbi-
shop and Metropolitan will officiate at the
Divine Liturgy, assisted by Rt. Rev. Exarch
Gabriel Barrow, pastor, very Rev. Ben
jamin Hoffiz and many other noted clergy
For after the service the Committee
has arranged an excellent program
The service has
been secured of such noted singers and
musicians as Anton Abdilahad of Boston,
Najeeb Saba of Charleston, w. Va, Joseph
Bedway of Pittsburgh and George Berba-
ny of Detroit.
Regardless of church affiliation this
is an event which can be recommended as
worthy of attendance by all who can
reach it, and this applies not only to Syrian
people but to all others. The Orthodox
Church has kept the light of religious free
dom burning throughout the ages against
all oppression and persecution and no
branch of that church has more worthiIy
worked in America than the Syrian Or
thodox Church. Also no other branch has
more worthy representation in it's clergy
from an educational, cultural progressive
s~taodpoint.
Moreover Syrian music, both vocal
and instrumental deserves a much better
acquaintance among Americans and Cana
dams generally. 1t has an objectivity, free
dom and enthusiasm producing quality all
its own And the artists exenplifyine it
here are among the best anywhere.

Our utmost desire is to serve this COM

We hope it will evoke among the
younger generation of Syrian American

We shall be both glad and thankful

In our youger days we were told that
the three great virtues were Faith, Hope
and Charity, and the last ives the greatest
of ali because it kept the other two alive.
The heavy stress which the e
Syria and LEBANON place upon the prac-
tice of charity probably accounts for their
deep religious devotion and their hope
full and optomistic approach to the pro-
blems of life.
One of the NOSE concrete examples
of this practice is the organization SO we'll
konwn in our own circles in Michigan and
Ontario as the Syrian and Lebanon Ladies
of Charity. And we are of the opinion that
more should be known about it in circles
which are purely English speaking and
we are going to write up regularly in this
Section the activities of these worthy La
dies, not only to the welfare of our own
people, but also for the noble work they
have done for the u. S. War effort and
