Joe and his buddy rode down to work on truck; and on that-.morn- ing were almost hit by a bomb which exploded near by. Scamper- ing off the truck, they took refuge under it.
 Finally they arrived near the dock section where they witnessed the next devastating attack by the Jap bombers which blew up the Arizona and the Nevada-the lat ter having a bomb land in it's smokestack. The Japs returned again about eleven o'clock to con- tinue their terrible rampage. Mil Ter and his buddy fought fiendish fires for hours and hours-and still later attempted to clean up some of the ruins.
 Joe claims that very few civil ians were killed in the raids. Thereafter, he adds, all civilians were off the streets by ten o'clock nightly and that the blackout was completely enforced beginning at six. If one was convicted of vio- lating the blackout rules, he had l to donate a pint of blood. The regulations, which were very strict at this time, stated that one had to trade at the nearest store. The one nearest to where Joe resided would sell only to Japs because it was operated by one. This left the native and American population without sup- plies-as 8 matter of fact, Joe didn't eat any meals from Sunday until Wednesday. This state didn't last very long though, as the ci- william population rose in arms and turned on the local Japs.
 These and other gruesome hap penings will long finger in Joe's thoughts-and he hopes by relat- ing these few, that you will also keep them in mind and exert your utmost efforts to eliminate any further possibility of recur- renee.

Former Employee Awarded D. F.C.

Staff Sergt. Russell Johns of Westerly, not long gone from the Sheet Metal Shop of the Electric Boat Co.,, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by Maj. Gen. James Doolittle, and also a furlough home, which indicates that he participated in at least 50 flights.
 Johns, a tail gunner on a Lib orator Bomber, took part in the raid over the Ploesti Oil Refneries of Rumania-which he claims his most important raid-but he also participated in attacks on Sicily, Italy and Austria.
 After trying to enlist in the Ar my nearly two years ago, and be- ing turned down because of a slight physical disability, he was inducted in May 1922, and he was assigned to the Air Corps-after which he volunteered for duty in the air and was trained for this type of work in different sections of the country.
 Sergeant Johns attended Vest erly High School before going to work for local trucking concern and later for the Boat Company.
 The work and spirit of a man like this should be recognized by all-who, in turn, should give their all to make this war end as soon as possible.

Miller says that the first bomb ing attacks came at eight in the morning while he was still asleep. One of his buddies awakened him with the almost unbelievable news, which was shortly. confirmed by his landlady's radio. The radio report requested all workers 10 report to their jobs immediately.

You could go shipfttin' or weldin' and if you didn't care to become shipfitter you had two chances. You welded on the blocks or on the boats. If you didn't work on the blocks you had two chances.

 We have all heard the tale by now of certain Rudy Collins and his Christmas spirit. It seems Ru- dy'S spirits aren't at all self con- tained and furthermore those nasty men at the gates saw the little package and from the last report Rudy spirited his spirits away from the Gate House AFTER work and had a wonderful Christmas.

 His name is Nelson Hulsizer.
 When it comes to handing out

 He certainly is no miser
 But when the boys think of
 ways
 They could spend better pays,
 They cry, Lord, Nelson,
 give us a raise"
 How can you be so miserly,
 Mister HulsiZerly?

Speed Up or Speed Out

In one of the country's biggest war plants, a big, tough worker told new employee he was turn ing out too many units day and had better slow down. Next day the new man upped his output Were at war; he explained. The third day, when the new mans production reached another new high, the other worker violently told him he was "out."
 "So are you" replied the bullied one. He showed an FBI card, at tached handcuffs to the tormenter and marched him the entire length of the assembly line.
 Too bad. He was a window washer and he stepped back to ad- mire his work.

|Loyeit Case Inquiry
Bung|ed, Defense Says
By the Associated Press

/ BY the Associated Press.
/ SALINAS, Calf, Oct. ll.-De-
Tense attorneys expected to use the
greater part of today in final argu-
ments asking an acquittal verdict
for 37-year-old Mrs. Frances An
drews, wealthy Carmel Valley
woman on trial in the murder of
Jay Lovett, her young farm boy
neighbor.
Attorney Leo Friedman talked for
five hours yesterday in Mrs. An
drews' defense. He attacked what
he called bungling of law enforce
ment officers in investigating the
case and argued that Lovett could
have died by suicide, accident or
murder by some one other than the
defendant.
He declared the district attorney
had characterized a quiet country
boy as Casanova to introduce q
jealousy motive, saying:
THE picture of the dead boy
placed before you was that OF an
Adonis-a Casanova with lots of sex
appeal-irresistible to women"
He said testimony brought out
that Lovett was quiet, thoughtful
and mannerly"
Lovett, 10, was found near Mrs.
Andrews house the night of last
July Is, shot through the head with
Mrs. Andrews pistol.

Gandhi Free Again

Mohandas K. Gandhi the Indian agitator
is free again not we may believe because
the British feel he is any less bitter toward
the Empire but because he is near death and
his death in detention would be seized upon
as a fresh cause of agitation at a time when
the nearest semblance Of peace must be main.
tanned in that land of perpetual trouble.
The decision IS not without peril for the
British. II Gandhi should die, his death is
liable to be attributed by his followers to his
detention even though he has had every at
tention his condition merited and he has beer
captive only in that he has been denied
communication with his fellow disturbers. Or
the other hand. if he survives he will certainly
resume his activities and again become a
stumbling block to peace in India.
Great Britain can never expect to maintain
peaceful sovereignty in India. But during the
tWenty-one months of his nominal mprison.
ment there has been less internal disturbance
than when he was free to work his mischief
His release, therefore, would seem to pressage
as great trouble as if he had been left amidst
the luxuries in the palace of his confinement.

Press On Pipe Line

Editors OF the United States mince no words
In commenting on h program promoted
through the Federal governments Petroleum
Reserves Corporation to launch the govern
ment in the oil business by building pipeline
1900 miles across Saudi-Arabia. Apparently,
Congress didn't even know about the deal
until it was announced.
AS the New York Herald Tribune saws.
''Even if one accepts the argument that we
are approaching the end of our own oil
sources, does it necessarily follow that the
most desirable field of exploitation is the Near
East?" Granting that we must have for
eign oil policy, the Tribune continues, most
persons will probably . agree that
there is no more reason why formulation OF
that policy should be delegated to the Pc
troleun Reserves Corporation or the secre-
tary Of the Navy, than there is for delegatins
to General Eisenhower the responsibility for
working out postwar political poliey for
France"
The Lafayette, Indiana, Journal says: why
should the Administration insist on building a
pipeline on distant foreign soil at public ex-
pense? The estimated cost, 5000, 900, would
put the government very much in the oil bust
ness, and American companies rightly pro-
