TT was %" day at Tarawa, and
i Pfc. Harold A. DeVille of Ope-
lousas, La, was in the first wave
of Marines fighting their way
shoreward toward the tiny Pacific
atoll.
He made the beach all right, but
ten minutes later Jap machine
gunner cut him down. He lay on
the beach with the battle raging
around him for about an hour
before medical corpsmen were
able to pick him up and transfer
him to an LIST. After preliminary
first aid was administered, the
Louisiana Marine was taken to his
ship, and there received four blood
plasna transfusions.
Those four transfusions helped
save his life!
Offshore, Cpl. Norman Sidney
Noise of New Orleans, La, was
joekeying his landing craft
through the hazardous waters to
get more ammunition for the en-
battled Marines, who held fifty
foot beachhead. A Jap shell ended
their run.
So intent was Cpl. Noise on
saving his men, he didn't realize
he himself was badly wounded.
He doesn't remember how many
transfusions Of blood plasmasWere
required to pull him through, but

And if any further evidence OF
Red Cross blood plasma's life-sav-
ing value is needed, ask Cpl. Viii
liam Frederick Frazier of Water
town, Mass, to tell you how
twenty pints OF plaslna flowed into
his veins.
Cpl. Frazier's story dates back
to the battle for Guadalcanal,
when a Jap machine gunner. put
bullets through both legs. Badly
wounded, he was driven in a jeep
over eight miles of burnpy road
back to a headquarters dressing
station. As soon as they reached
the station, he was given the first

Tempest
in Teapot


HYDE PARK, n. Y, Nov. II
- (P) Five election officials
denied today that President
Roosevelt used profanity when a
voting machine jammed while
he was casting his ballot here
on election day.
A news magazine (Time), de-
scribing the presidents visit TO
the polling place, said:
From the green curtained
voting booth came a clsnk of
gears as the main control lever
ierked irritably back and forth.
Then a voice, familiar TO all of
the u. S. and 10 most of the
world. spoke distinctly from be-
hind the curtains; The Goddam-
ned thing won't work.
Thomas l.. Leonard, Demo-
cratic inspector, said Il was the
person nearest to the President
because | was tending the ma
chine. He did not use any pro-
fame language at any time.
What he said was, Tom
what's the matter with this
thing? 1t doesn't work. Oh, 1t s
all right now"
Leonard said The President
was delayed only a moment
when the lever failed TO swing
completely over. The President
talked through the curtain and
did not come out of the booth
until after he had completed
voting. ! was not more than two
feet away. / doubt if the spec
tators who were further away
could hear what he said to me.
Mrs. George Upright, a Re-
publican inspector, said Il new
or heard him say word when
the voting machine failed to
work"
Mrs. Reta Lasher, Republican
gatekeeper said All he said was
that the machine did not work.
Mrs. Douglas Crasper, Repub-
lican inspector, and Miss Mildred
NJ. Todd, Democratic said they
did not hear the President say
anything.
The Glendale (Calif) minis
terial association said last night
it had sent the President letter
asking him TO apologize for what
it termed his shocking profan-
ity," as reported by the maya
zine.

such as the annual beer cellar
PutSch celebration, may mean
everything or nothing.
In pre-War days, his absence
from the public platform for
any extended period might have
caused alarm. But Hitler on
September l, 1899 dramatically
told the German nation that
from now until the end of the
conflict he was joining his
troops at the Front. That pre-
cluded speculation as to the sig
nifiCanCe of extended silence on
his part.
Unless, therefore, someone
has laid eyes upon Hitler in the
past fortnight or has received
positive proof of his non-pres-
ence or non-eXistenCe, he cannot
explain der Fuehrer's strange
silence authoritatively.
Than what of the various
claimS-that he is insane, that
he is i'll, that he is being kept
in the background while peace
feelers are being put out, that
he has left the country, yes,
even that he is dead?
Despite my IA years inten-
sive study of the strange phe-
nomenon named Adolf Hitler,
cannot in good conscience eth
er rule out any OF these posi-
bilitles or point TO any particu-
lar one as the obvious answer.
Hitler, in the opinion of the
medical world is quite general
ly, l believe, regarded as par
anoiac. This mental instability
may at any time take the form
Of a more or less violent case Of
lunacy. 1t is anybody's guess
when that point has been reach
ed.
Just why, as has been claim
ed in dispatches from Switzer-
land, Adolf Hitler should be
relegated to the background to
facilitate peace negotiations is
not clear. He himself is not the
sort of person to offer himself
as a sacrifice. He is also too IA
natical 10 seek to achieve peace
by appeasement.
Has Hitler already left the
country? Maybe, maybe not.
Nazi Germany is such an unbe-
lievably weird place that any
thing may happen. 1t would be
foolish to affirm or deny the
possibility Of flight.
Is Der Feuhrer dead? The
mere thought that the man who
lived on adulation and hero
worship should have been en-
tombed without pomp and cir
cumStance should be irksome
enough to make Adolf Hitler
rise from his grave and demand
a State funeral.

Miller asked, that horse racing
is a sucker game in which the
State invites its people to take
part not for their benefit, secur-
ity or protection, but in order
that they may be fleeced?"
Referring TO numerous State
statutes which penalize gam5-
ling, the Judge continued:
The people of the State have
adopted and announced as their
settled public policy that gam
bling, and particularly gambling
on horse races, is pernicious and
worthy to be stigmatized as
criminal.
The State of Michigan is,
therefore, itself engaged in

the effect of the 1888 Act, and
