STORY FOR WAR CONTAINERS

When genial Representative Jed Johnson of Oklahoma hears people complaining about war 'inconven- fences" he shuts them up with this story.

RICKENBACKER AND CHERRY

Many people have wondered why President Roosevelt has never in- vited Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, World War ace who came out of the Pacific after being given up for dead, to the White House Though Rickenbacker has been wined and diner by various business leaders, the President had not joined in the tributes.
 Those close to the President at tribute this partly to the row which occurred between Rickenbacker and Captain William Cherry, pilot of the plane which crashed in the Pa cific. The story of this row has been hushed up for months, neither side wanting to talk. However, friends say that this is what oc- cured:
 As frequently happens when men face death on the high seas, there was a clash of authority between Captain Cherry. who was in com mand of the plane, and Ricken- packer, a civilian who outranked

During recent tour of his dis trict, Johnson visited a small cabin in tourist camp near Chickasfa, Oklahoma, where a widowed mother and her five children lived, The eldest son, Clifford Trotter, 19. was disabled war vet whose legs had Eeen amputated below the knees after narrowing experience with Naval convoy in the Arctic Ocean, November, 1922
 The young seaman received a dis charge from the Navy last October, at which time he applied for vet eran's compensation wever, when Representative Johnson visit ed the family recently, the compen- sation claim had not been approved and the family was destitute. The widowed mother was taking in washing, and the rent for the one room cabin had not been paid for weeks.
 I'm not complaining and I don't want favors or sympathy" said the young veteran.
 Johnson got busy Within three hours, the Veterans Administration in Washington okayed Trotter's ap- plication and, the next day, he re- eeived his first disability check for $50, plus retroactive pay. Trotters mother wept.
 "Is there anything else I can dc for you?" Johnson asked
 Yes, sir, there is," replied Trot- ter. My legs are no good to me but l have a good pair of hands and l can see, hear and talk all right. I'm going to take radio course and, when I complete it, l would like to get back in the Navy as a radio operator. Maybe VOL can help me.

Jim Farley found when he was down here last fall, Texas today may grouse against the President and cuSs out everyone around him, but will vote for him in the end.
 Willkie came through here sev- eral weeks ago and received tre- mendous ovation. Folks showed they liked him as he travelled on the Fort Worth and Denver Rail- way up through West Texas. All along the line, crowds were at the stations to see him, though there had been no announcement of his coming
 However, he pulled one unforget- table boner at Dallas. The Dallas Times Herald, afternoon newspaper, had arranged to send a photo- grapher with Willkie on his trip through West Texas But that night, speaking before tremend- ous crowd, Willkie went out of his way to say what fine, outstanding, influential and important news paper was the Dallas News, morn ing competitor of the Times Herald.
 After that, Willkies name came off the front page of the Times Herald. and no Times Herald photographer accompanied him on his trip through West Texas.

RELIGION AND WAR

The Rev Elmer Mckee rector of an Episcopalian Church in New York City. took occasion the other day to discount the probabilities of religious revival as result of the war. Evidently the Rev MT Mckee believes that too much store has been set on the reports of fox-hole conversions. It is not that he denies there have been such conversions but that he thinks the validity and completeness of conversions under stress of great emotional strain must be tested under peaceful and humdrum circumstances. Moreover he points out the general tendency of war is to brutalize rather than to soften the men who engage in it.
 "A few men" said Mir. Mckee, reported by the New York Times will discover God for the first time under the of wartime pain and need Many more will become hard under the dehumanizing strains of total Still others will come out of the conflict with bascay the religious foundations they possessed entering it Religion is not an emotional glow or going with the right people, or doing good work or a sense of fufilment Religion is the service of God for His own sake without any thought of gain It is giving all has to the One served It takes long time to get religion, and if one thinks he has it he is to slip. Religious revival is our deepest need, but the costs the same in at any time and they high"
 It is possibly presumptuous to argue with MT Mckee on what is, after all professional point, but it occurs to us to wonder whether he has not defined the idea of religious revival too narrowly. If he means, he to mean, that there is little likelihood that large proportion of men in the service will suddenly and permanently become saints, forced to agree. But the truth is that saints have been minority in every age, and backsding after conversion is scarcely new phenomenon Nev- erheless it is also true that very large portion of mankind has remained for very long without

 Among other things, Cherry urg- ed from the beginning that the two rafts take separate ways. whereas Rickenbacker wanted to keep them together Finally, after many days, they did drift apart and it was then they were found and rescued.
 Also, there was a difference when they first abandoned the plane. Rickenbacker rowed away immed- lately expecting the plane to sink in fifteen seconds, as is usually the case. This might have sucked the rafts down if nearby. However, Cherry had made such a perfect landing, not damaging the wings, that the plane stayed afloat. So he went back to the plane and threw out some oranges. This was the

Sliding Scale Raie
Utilities Boord Witness
Urges That Schedules
Be Brought Up to Dote
By BAINBRIDGE CRIsr.

DIR. James G. Bonbright, chair
man of the New York Power Au-
thority, today told the Public Utili-
ties Commission he believed the
sliding-scale method of rate de-
termination for the Potomac Elec-
trie Power Co. should be continued,
provided 1t is properly modified to
bring it in line with modern de-
velopments of public utility law"
DR.. Bonbright, witness for the
Procurement Division of the Treas
ury Department in the annual
power rate hearings, made seven
specific recommendations for modi-
fication of the sliding scale. These
included change to an undepre-
ciated rate base, reduction of the
present rate of return from per
cent to per cent and a proposal
to 'recapture" one-half of excess
earnings in any one year for spe-
cial reserve fund.
THE history of rate reductions
under the sliding scale plan COM
pares so favorably with reduction
of rates elsewhere that it warrants
continuation of the sliding scale
principle, provided only that the
details of the formula are satisfac-
tory and in the public interest" DR..
Bonbright said.
Cites Situation Here.
The witness explained, however,
that even without the sliding scale
method for annual adjustment Of
rates, he felt rates would have been
reduced in the city of Washington
and might have even gone below the
Nation wide average because of
the locational advantages of opera
ton in the District of Columbia.
Greater accomplishments could have
fairly been demanded and expected
of an electric company under the
District commission than could have
been expected of companies regu-
lated by State commission, which
must regulate vast number of
utilities and which do not have
adequate time to devote to one
company"

Widening Of Research
On Race Issues Urged
Al Education Meetinq

PleaS Tor more courses on race
relations and for more research into
the economic and educational status
OF the Negro were made before a
postwar educational conference at
the Interior Department today by
DR.. Mordecai Johnson, president of
Howard University, and by DIR. Am
brose Caliver, specialist in Negro
education, United States Office of
Education.
Colleges could perform a great
service by collecting statistics bear
ing on the lives and welfare of
Negroes and presenting them to
students, DR.. Johnson said. The
suggestion was scheduled to be con-
sldered by educators from nearly
every college in the District and
vicinity when the group attending
the conference split up into special
discussion groups in the afternoon.
Other speakers at the second ses-
sion of the conference were the Rev.
DR.. Hunter Guthrie, S. j., dean of
the graduate school of George
Washington University, and DR..
Christopher B. Garnett, jr., acting
dean, Columbian College, George
Washington University.
Conference Sponsored Jointly.
The conference is being held un-
der auspices of District Institutions
of Higher Education, with the CO.
operation of the Office of Education.
Lack of specific suggestions dur
ing the opening session last night
was emphasized by the chairman,
DR.. Roy j. Deferrari of the Catholic
University of America. Saying he
had noticed similar vagueness at
other recent educational confer
ences, Dr. Deferrari warned that
much work still lies ahead of the
conferees.
DR.. Harry Warfel of the State De-
partment's division of science, edu-
cation and art, who filled in for DR..
Ralph Turner of the State Depart
ment last night, made one sugges-
ton, that 5000 Red Cross workers
and chaplains be hired to help pro-
fessors handle the service men and
women returning to college. Pro-
fesSors will have to adjust to sharp
eyed" soldier-students, he said as
much as soldiers will have to adjust
again to civilian life.
Suggestion Offered.
One member of the audience,
Richard Coupe, %, suggested to the
speakers in open discussion that ac-
celerated programs, like those now
emphasized by the Army and Navy,
permanently replace the four-year
college course. Awaiting induction
into the Navy, Mr.. Coupe said he
is at present instructing in physics
at Georgetown University.
DR.. Walter E. Hager, president of
Wilson Teachers College, replied
that former students had written
to him "sneering" at their Army
Navy instruction as too brief for
future usefulness. Miss Helen Hosp,
American Association of University
Women, also on the panel, replied
to DR.. Hager that much good could
be found in these short courses.
Ensign A. B. Bonds, U. S. N. R.,
also in the audience, said he had
helped hatch" the Army-Navy
programs when he was employed by
the War Manpower Commission, but
that he too favored return to slower
education after the war.
Others on the panel were Edwin

Mason and Wender
Proise Appointee
As Excellent Choice

General expressions of approval
came today from spokesmen of Gov
ernment, civic and business groups
over President Roosevelt's nomina-
ton of James w. Lauderdale, an as
|sistant corporation counsel, to the
post of peoples counsel, vacant
since 1896.
Mr.. Undertakes only comment
on his nomination was that he ap-
preciated ''the fact that the Presi-
dent expressed enough confidence to
put my name up for the job"
Il sincerely hope can do justice
to it," he added
Excellent" Says Mason.
Commissioner Guy Mason charac-
terized the nomination as an "ex-
cellent" one.

lsaid he was delighted" and that
he knew. all of the citizens asso-
Citations would be glad to learn Of
the move The Federation made a
determined and successful fight last
year to restore the $500 appropria-
ton for the position.
Mr.. Wender predicted citizens
groups would approve of the nomi-
ton because We have been fight
ing so long for the recreation Of
the position. and, second, because
the President has appointed so fine
and capable lawyer as Mr.. Lau-
lderdale"
Filed Brief Year Ago.
Mr.. Wender recalled that it was
just a year ago this month that
he submitted to the President and
Congress brief entitled "The Case
Of Washington's Citizens in Support
of Peoples Counsel" Expressing
approval over the appointment of
Washington, with a lifelong in
terest in local affairs, Mr.. Wender
said he thought Mr.. Lauderdale was
young enough to be vigorous in
the public interest but with a wide
legal experience and a background
of public affairs"
Mr.. Lauderdale, who lives at 1924
Webster street NV, was formerly
a delegate to the Federation from
the Piney Branch Citizens Associ-
ations
Mr.. Lauderdale's name was sub
mitted, along with several others, by
the Commissioners.
