Associated Press War Correspondent,


ABOARD A U. S. BATTLESHIP
OFF GUAM, July 27 Delayed (via
Navy radio> The captain was de-
lighted. The gun boss was elated.
Members of the gun crews beamed
with pride
A message from the marine gen.
eral ashore said:
Thanks for your splendid work
last night, 1t looks as though you
saved the day"
1t was happy day for an "old
lady" of the sea.
At her age-let's say it's twenty
plus-a battlewagon can't look for
many honors. They are expected to
go to younger ships built to outrun
or Outright anything Japan has to
offer.
But instead Of retirement, posi-
bly, to become training vessels. these
"old ladies" won the opportunity to
prove themselves more useful than
ever before in their careers. War
has required their services. Refitted
and refurnished, these old battle
ships are well able to hold their
own.
Protects Landing Operations.
The Navy early in the Pacific Of
fensive found place for SLOW" bat
tleships, as mighty armada of
what are officially known as fast
battleships' joined the fleet. This
was not only in protecting assault
transports and auxiliaries but in
turning their 14-inch guns on enemy
land installations.
In the Marlanas campaign the
"old ladies" were called on for their
heaviest work. The effect of the
oombardments and such. compli-
ments as that paid by the marine
general show they have done the
job we'll.
What is more. this battleship in
recent years has seen duty in both
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Just prior to the outbreak of the
war she ploWed through rough seas
to Iceland helping protect the sup
ply line from German encroach-
ment. She participated in the
Aleutians campaign, was assigned
to the South Pacific for awhile,
then attached to the forces which
captured Kwajslein in the Mar
shalls.
Escapes Without Scratch.
She hasn't so much as a single
scratch although she watched other
ships go down. The officers and
men remember vividly the death of
the carrier Liscombe Bay which
sank before their eyes at Maxim.
But they will remember, too, how
their ship churned up devastation
on Saipan and Guam, helping to
soften up the beach areas for as
sault troops and remaining as an
ever-present threat to the enemy.
Little Rota, lying between Saipan
and Guam, also felt the crash of
her hot steel in a night lombard
ment in which we could see only
stars and plummeting red tracer
shells.
The "old lady" however. hasn't
time for reminiscence. She has
work to do and she's rarin to 20.

Postwar Employment
Program Drafted by
Falls Church Group
Public Works, Business
Expansion Are Proposed
For Virginia Community

A plan to provide postwar EN-.
ployment through a program OF
community business expansion and
public works viii be presented to
the Falls Church Town Council and
various civic organizations follow.
ing its adoption last night by the
Falls Churchme1l, a mems organiza-
ton of the Falls Church Episcopal
Church.
Drafted by John Graham. jr.. an
architect with the Federal Housing
Authority, the program calls first
Tor survey Of community needs in
regard to returning servicemen, the
investigation Of possibilities of bust.
ness expansion and types of new
enterprises suitable for the Falls
Church community and a carefully
planned program Of postwar public
works.
Pointing out that a trend toward
Government decentralization will
place the burden of postwar employ
ment on communities, Mr.. Graham
said towns and cities should plan
now In order to have a logical pro-
gram when needed. He added that
Government assistance might be
more readily obtained by those COM
munities who had shown ability to
help themselves.
Job Survey Planned.
Under the plan a survey will be
completed within the next 80 days
to determine how many persons,
both servicemen and displaced war
workers, will want jobs in the Falls
Church community after the war
and the present estimate of jobs will
be available after the war.
II it Is determined that existing
job opportunities will be too few for
community needs, the plan then
calls for study of business expan-
sion to fit the requirements and a
program Of public works that will
provide jobs and at the same time
create the type of community de.
sired by its residents.
1T should be realized that there
are limitations to the extent that
public works projects can supply
jobs in a community" the plan
states. Experience gained in the
last depression showed that the
putting of untitled men on laborers'
work was both improbable to the
hiring agency and depicting to the
man hired. Therefore,
these projects should act to supple.
ment and not substitute for the
stimulated efforts of private enter
prise to provide jobs. Plans and
specifications should be prepared
and placed in ready file for imme-
diate Use when the need arises.
Should Plan for Future.
THE planning of public works"
the outline continues, should be
based on what the town of Falls
Church should be, commercially, &C.
onomically and socially"
Members appointed to a Postwar
Employment Committee to contact
city oficials and other community
groups to organize larger commits
tee for the survey include Mr.. Gra-
ham, chairman; James Branson of

The Internal Revenue Bureau

Itions.
