that come to the attention of the
public which for the most part
are completely ignored by the
local officials. Why this condi-
ton exists is not known. but it
seems that there is indifference
on the part of officials to give
cognizance to these situations.
No story is complete without
an ending and because of this
being true, our story will hardly
be complete until we obtain an
end to the inconsistent behavior
of certai police officers who per-
sist in the use of Gestapo
methods to supposedly corral
vice; to punish the violators and
perpetrators of crime Is the right
of law, but still the law must
realize that until the individual
is proven guilty, and even then,
mistreatment of the person or
persons is in violation of the con-
stitutional rights of individuals.
The policemen are only public
servants and as such should to
the best of their ability conform
to the patterns of good servants
regardless of personal feelings
and innate hates, likes or dis
likes.
The Seattle police department
stands in the light of criticism,
especially in certain areas be-
cause of their willfullness, and
because of the negligence to re-
main untarnished by their per-
sonal idea of civil law.
Even criminals are to be cor
rected if they can be, although
they have apparently lost the idea
of being good citizens. Nothing
is more deplorable than to see
the officers who support the well
fare of the public hinder the pos
sibility of salvaging many people
who in many instances are not
stereotype criminals.
On Sunday evening in the front
of Bishops Drug store on Jack
son Street one could have seen
the exact duplicate of Gestapo
symmetry. To visualize the in
sigma of the swastika upon the
blue uniforms of American police
garb at this time would not have
been difficult, because when a
woman, black or white, is beaten
up by overgrown men, officers of
the public trust, in "democ-
racy" then there is time for i'm
agination to eliminate in reality.
Soldiers who wear the khaki
uniform stood in restless effort

|NAZI BATTLESHIP
TIRPITZ BOMBED
Last Capital War Vessel In
Hitler's Furtive Navy
Is Attacked

LONDON, April 3-lREThe Tir-
pitz. last capital battleship in Hit
ler's furtive navy, has been hit by
several bombs from British naval
planes. an Admiralty communicate
said today.
This fresh blow to neutralize
German sea power was dealt as
the western Allies rushed final
preparations for continental in
vasion in which domination of the
seas will be vital.
The communique gave few de-
tails of the attack on the big
battleship which has been hiding
for months in Alien Fjord in far
northern Norway, but it did say
several hits were obtained.
Her hideout is more than 1000
miles from the nearest British air
bases so it was obvious the attack
was carried out by planes from
carriers. American-built craft may
have been used since it has been
announced that Grammar and
other American naval types have
been in use by the British fleet
air arm.
Since she has holed up in misty,
high-walled Alien Fjord. the Brit
ish have gone after her from above
and below the surface. Last Sept.
% an attack by British midget
submarines scored hits W h h
reached her hull. It is not known
whether that serious damage had
been repaired when the planes
struck.
Listed at $4,000 tons, the Tirpitz
is believed actually to approximate
1000 tons. James Fighting Ships
says she may be about 41,ooo
tons. Whe carries eight 15-inch

RECORDS BROKEN
BY PLANE OUTPUT

WASHINGTON, April 3.-RAA
disclosure that the United States
is developing longer-range fighter
planes, presumably to protect
flights of the huge new B-29 Super
Bomber, came simultaneously to-
day with announcement of record.
shattering aircraft production in
March.
The aircraft industry turned out
9,118 war planes last month, top
ping 5000 for the first time. and
scored an even more impressive
achievement by boosting the total
weight of air frames produced by
nine per cent to a total Of 100, 40o,-
600 pounds. - - :. -
The statement that efforts were
under way to provide fighter es-
corts for the new giant bombers
was made by Maj. Gen. Oliver P.
Echols, commanding the air forces
materiel command, at news con-
ference. The production of B-29's
was substantially on SCHEDULED in
March.
The Mustang Psi and the P.38
Lightning now are the longest
range fighters in the air force.
They are rated capable of accom-
panying bombing missions of eth
er Liberators or Fortresses, but
not that of the B-29, whose secret
flight radius is much greater.
The all-time record in airplane
production was n n o u n d by
Charles E. Wilson, executive vice
chairman of the War Production
Board and chairman of the Air
craft Production Board, who said:
"As far as We can see, this may
be the peak of the war in the
number of planes produced. Vir-
tually all companies making COM
bat planes not only met their
schedules but in notable instances
exceeded them.
'In four-engined bombers alone
the schedule was exceeded by
about five per cent, and the over
all aircraft schedule was exceeded
by one and one-half per cent, in
the number of planes produced"

CAMP DAVIS R. R.
ALWAYS ON Time

CAMP DAVIS, April 3. - Sgt
Carl W. Carlson operates the only
railroad in North Carolina that
never fails to run on schedule. He
is chairman of the board, presi.
dent, general passenger and freight
agent, chief of operations, dispat-
cher, engineer, conductor, brake
man, round house supervisor,
track walker-he's the whole works
on this mile-and-a half two car
system.
There is never any overcroWding
or standing in line. No M. P.'s ever
enter it's domain. Despite its vir-
tues, there is hardly a day passes
without it being blasted by gun
fire from a 80 nm. outfit, and,
recently they've started to shoot
the bazooka at it. Despite all this,
Sgt. Carlson keeps 'em rolling on
schedule, day or night.
This railroad which has only one
terminal, is known as the Holly
Shelter "Antimach" range. Its roll
ing stock consists Of two gasoline
engine railroad work cars. Their
mission is to carry moving tar
gets to simulate enemy tanks.
These targets, until recently, con-
sisted of heavy muslin, stretch
ed over a wooden frame. and the
strong wind which blows. almost
continuously over the range, did
more damage to the targets than
gun fire. To overcome this slight
annoyance, the sergeant dug up
some cloth covered wire mesh
which makes a moving target that
defies both gun fire and wind.
- Carlson IS proud of his railroad
and doesn't mind having it shot
at. In fact, he tries to get the
gunners real mad by drawing ugly
cartoons of Hitler and TOTO on his
targets. Even the one-inch iron
pipe rack that holds the targets
on the car, frequently is sheareo
off by fast moving SO nm. mis-,
sile. He always has additional
rack and frames ready so thai
the firing schedule moves along
on time.
Prior to coming into the army II

as coremaker and molder II
