SOMEWHERE IN THE MAR

a drama more thrilling than any
football game in which he
played, Capt. George Franck, Is,
all-America halfback at the Uni

now a marine flyer, was rescued
recently from enemy waters
after his Corsair fighter plane
was shot down in a raid on Jap
held Vote Atoll.
After making crash-landing,
Capt. Franck floated in his life

He was so close to enemy land that
he could count every coconut tree

He was picked up by motor
whsleboat while 1 Navy destroyer,

commanding omcer of Franck's
fighter squadron of the 4th Marine
Air Wing. The fighters were in the
raid with Capt. Franck, raced back
to refuel, and returned to strafe
the firing enemy guns and to hover
over their downed companion.
Those planes performed the best
Job of running interference that I
ever had" the former football star
said.
Capt. Franck was strafing at so
feet, after dropping his bomb, when
his plane was hit. He was forced
to land when the plane began to
vibrate violently and oil pressure
dropped to zero.
He was almost trapped in the
plane as the hatch Jared shut in
the water landing. After several
desperate attempts, he opened the
hatch, crawled out onto the wing,
and jumped into the water. When
he looked around after swimming
about eight yards, the plane had
sunk out Of sight.
Capt. Franck landed eight miles
of the enemy shore, but the strong
wind and current blew him toward

by alternately padding and getting
out of the raft to swim.

instead, was within firing range of

This specialist in income tax law
objects to being designated as a
general income tax expert because,
she says, with the number and
complexities of our tax laws today, it
is impossible for any one to become
an expert, except in a specialized
field" But she has literally grown
up with the income tax laws of our
Government.
When she entered Government
service on March 4, 1914, by way of
q competitive examination, after re-
ceiving an A. B. degree from Brenau
College, Gainesville, Ga, and teach
ing school in Georgia for IL years,
she was assigned to the income tax
division of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. The income tax returns
from the 1918 income tax law were
then just beginning to be filed.

BY 1921, as the result of after

While In this position, she was sent
abroad by the Government to two
international conferences on double
taxation under the auspices of the
League Of Nations. The first was
held In London in 1927, the second
IN Geneva in 1928. The United
States had not participated in inter-
national tax conferences before that
time.
From the background of her own
experience, Judge Matthews is firmly
convinced that the general recog-
milton OF women in specialized
career field such as hers is de-
termined by the kind of work a
woman can render, rather than by
diHerentiations against her on the
part of her male associates. She
does believe, however, a feminine
hop is apt to cause women in general
to be termed unfit for similar jobs,
rather than to chalk up the casualty
as an individual one, not necessarily
confined to her SEX"
Two Careers Possible.
AS to the combination, feminine
home-maker and careerist, she def
nitely feels that the number of
women who can successfully achieve
both docs not yet add up to a ma
jority," although it is the ideal of
almost every young woman just out
OF college to make a success OF both
and to combine both.
Born and reared on a plantation
near Culloden, Ga, she is essentially
the feminine type herself, despite
the specializing which she has done
in the intricacies of Federal tax
laws.
In her own attractive home at
$500 Connecticut avenue, in the
Tilden Garden Apartments, a grand
piano, many books and pictures, be-
speak the rich, cultural life which
she leads. Former pupils from her
teaching days in Georgia still keep
in touch with her. Her interest in
the educational and professional
careers of young people in general
is a keen and active one.
Twice president of the Women's
Bar Association of the District, and
a member of the Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Club, Judge
Matthews is now serving her second
term as chairman of the Committee
on the Legal and Economic Status
OF Women in the American Associa-

Many times one hears people OBJ
jecting to the cost in money OF the
war. They feel that very little econ
omy is being practiced and that
enormous sums Of money are being
expended wastefully. There may
be some reasons for these COM
plants, but none Of us is really "in
the drivers seat" where we can
see clearly the road ahead and know
just what obstacles must be over
come. But we do know that we are
not paying so high price as are
our European Allies, for we have
been spared the destruction caused
by bombs and tramping armies, by
thunderous tanks and death-dealing
guns.
We do know the heartbreak that
comes when loved ones are taken
from us, and 1t Is to prevent un-
necessary military losses that the
"war chest" must be kept filled to
overflowing. There must be no lack
of money with which to purchase
the essential things needed success
fully to conclude this war. And there
are countless thousands Of dollars
being spent every day on nonessen-
tial things. Why not make up our
minds to bend every ounce Of en-
ergy and contribute every spare
cent of money toward the success
full conclusion of this war? When
that is an accomplished fact will
be soon enough to indulge our
selves in the luxuries with which
we can very we'll do without.
