CAPTAIN Allen johnson Given
Silver Star For Calamity In
Action In Italy
Copy of Citation Sent Here to
Parents

A copy of the citation awarding
Captain Allen L. johnson, Chap
lain Corps, United States Army, the
Silver Star Medal for gallantry in
action early in October was receiv-
ed by his parents, Rev. and Mrs. L.
E. johnson of $50 Sout hRose street
recently.
1t seems that patrol travelling
northward from Vorno ran into an
enemy machine gun emplacement
and was forced to withdraw. One
of the members of the patrol was
seriously wounded and given first
aid, but had to be left behind on
the field of battle. Captain Johnson,
on tearing of the situation, called
for medical aid man and the two
of them ran approximately $50
yards over an exposed area to the
aid of the wounded man. After ad-
ministering first aid, although UNI
der continuous enemy artillery fire,
Captain Johnson instructed the
medical aid man to leave and have
vehicle ready to meet him at the
nearest covered position.
! He then placed the wounded man
on his shoulders and still under fire
from the enemy carried him to
safety.
Captain Johnson's gallant act in
all probability saved the wounded
mans life and was in keeping with
the high traditions of the Chaplain
Corps of the U. S. Army.
Captain Johnson has wife and
children here in jackson.
Captain Johnson entered military
service from Jackson. Willis D

Negroes Urged To Buy More and Bigger War Bonds
Win Awards of
In
Washington

Two of the four Awards of Ex-
cellence made to Washington area
employees of the Department of
the Interior November 20, by Sec
rotary Harold L. Ickes for inven-
tons or suggestions for improv-
ing the departments home front
service were won by Negroes.
The Negroes were:
Alfred L. Pace, head messenger
of the Division of Information,
whose legal residence is Albany,
Ca, and w. G. Brown, of Wash
ington, a messenger in the geologi-
cal survey.
Along with AZ other Washington
employees of the Interior Depart
ment, who won lesser honors, Mr..
Pace and Mr.. Brown and their fam
lilies were guests Of honor at cere-
monies held in the department au-
ditorium and addressed personally
by Secretary Ickes. This gathering
was one of five simultaneous coast
to coast meetings to make awards
to 121 Interior employees through
out the country for suggestions that
have resulted in saving the gov
eminent millions of dollars an
nually. The other meetings were
held at Pittsburgh, Pa; Denver,
Colo; Salt Lake City, Utah; and
Portland, Ore
Mr.. Pace won $500 cash award
and a $50 a year salary increase
for devising a new kind of sigma
ture tab indicating the place for
signatures on official documents
and correspondence His idea will
save hundreds of dollars and hun
dreds of pounds of paper annually,
not only during the war but in en-
suing years. In addition to the es-
timated savings, Mr.. PAGES tab has
special advantages over that now
in use, in that neat attachment
can be made as a result of per-
foration into which the paper clip
is inserted
Mr.. PAGES idea has not only been
adopted officially by the Depart
ment of the Interior, but has been
referred to the Government Print
ing Office for possible adoption by
all government departments.
Mr.. Brown won a $50 a year in
crease for suggesting new sche-
dule- of messenger service between
the geological survey and the gen
eral land office, which maintains
a constant messenger service. His
schedule will result in eliminat-
ing delays of from "a to 48 hours
in the delivery of mail, and in an
estimated saving of one man-year
of labor and $3.50 Ocash.

According to figures released by
the First Federal Reserve Bank on
Mississippi's Sixth War Loan drive,
it has been revealed that the state
is tagging on E bond sales, only 10
per cent of quota having been rails

In cooperation with the Kinds
County Negro War Finance Com
mittee and L. ]. Brooks, special
chairman of the 9Th War Loan
drive, we are urging Negroes to
buy more and bigger war bonds-to
assure their responsibility in this,
the most important of all war
loan campaigns.
We at home, can't fight shoulder
to shoulder with out boys but we
can help buy getting behind the
9th War Loan drive with every
dollar we can scrape together. This
is every Americans war, there are
plenty of Jackson boys on every
fighting front, are we going to let
these boys down?
Buy an extra 500 bon dtoday,
buy as many of your bonds and
stamps as possible from People Fu-
neral Home.
War finance officials have been
loud in their praies of the thous-
ands of volunteer workers who are
now busily engaged in making can
vases in behalf of the drive. They
urge citizens to welcome these
heroes of the home front"

MocL Leish Tells Clark His Poems
Might Be Difficult to Explain

occupattonal hazards OF writing
poetry is that this happens.
| Senator Clark might interrupt
you to say that have been familiar
with many great poets--Milton,
Shakespeare, Browning, and some
of our own great ones-and I have
never had great difficulty in under
standing what they were talking
about. But I do find myself, perhaps
because of my low-type intellect,
completely unable to understand
some of your poetry.
Mr.. MacLeish-"S Senator, all I can
say is that others have had the
same difficulty"
Senator Clark-"Do you yourself
really understand it?"
Mr.. MacLeish-"You know the
famous anecdote about Browning
and I am not comparing myself
with Browning. One day one OF
Browning's friends called on him
and asked what he meant by a GER
tain passage. Browning read 1t over
very carefully several times and
then said: When I wrote that God
and I knew what it meant; but
now only God knows"
Senator Clark-"Now Mr.. Mac
Leish, refer to your famous book
Tower of Ivory published in 1917
containing the poem Immortality.
He quoted:
Nay, I have lived before, and other
where
Have lolled against the breast OF
God unseen,
And watched Inf1nities OF Things
careen
With shouted laughter down the
startled air,
And caught the Truth by his en-
tangled hair
And plucked at Beauty's FURNISHED
wing to preen
A broken feather from its golden
sheen,
And smiled with Love, slow walking,
white in vair.
How else-when you come running
to surprise
My heart with sudden arms about
my throat,
And laughter with such a wishful
little note
How else am I, Loves acolyte, 50
wise
To know that dreams and passion
turned devote,
And Joy grown sad, are Love with
wide girls eyes?"
Perhaps I am dumb, but I do not
understand that"
Mr.. MacLeiSh-First of all, Sena-
tor, that was-I think I ought to
say In my own defense-an under
graduate poem, but I move to ask.
Senator, If I may-perhaps should
put 1t this way: wonder when John
Hay came up for confirmation as
Assistant Secretary of State, or Sec
retary of State, whether anybody
read Little Britches" and the Pike
County Ballads" to him.
Senator Clark-That was Pike
County, Ill, not Pike County, Mo.
I am still very fond Of that little
poem, Little Britches," but I can
not understand this one with some
trouble

In order to gain control Of their gov
|ernments cannot be passed OF as q
mere incident" the message said.
1T is the logical consequence Of q
foreign policy based upon conces-
sions aimed at placating the grow
ing might of a wayward ally. There
can be no basis for the assumption
that Russia wants democratic
neighbors.
Russia has a right to expect
friendly neighbors but the plain
fact is that 1t Is not the small
countries but Russia who refuses
to be a friendly neighbor.
The message said England's
solemn obligations, recorded in
treaties, are now apparently being
interpreted to the detriment OF
Poland's right to equality, freedom
and territorial integrity.
ut is disturbing to learn that
increasing pressure Is being exerted
upon the Polish government to ac-
cept fatal course Of appeasement

The poetry OF Archibald MacLeish
has become an sue-though q
minor one-in the Senate fight over
Mr.. MacLeish's nomination to be an
Assistant Secretary Of State. Sem
ator Clark, Democrat. of Missouri, a
leader Of the MacLeish opposition,
complains that he cannot under
stand Mr.. MacLeish's verse.
When Senator Clark asked Mr..
MacLeish at the Senate hearing on
the nomination of the Librarian of
Congress and five others as high Of
ficia1s of the State Department to
explain the meaning of a couple of
his poems, Mr.. MacLeish admitted
it might be difficult to do. The fol-
lowing colIoquy was taken from the
committee record:
Senator Clark-Since the Senator
from Florida Senator Pepper has
brought 1t up, and since the new
Assistant Secretary is supposed to
impose culture on the whole world, I
shall 60 into one or two of his writ
ings and ask him to tell us what
they they mean. I refer to the vol
ume of, poems entitled Public
Speech" published in 1886, and to
the poem called THE Lost Speak
ers.''
The Senator quoted
Their eyes
Changed: their work broken:
Many Of ours who spoke in the
Inland years are dumb now
Seeing our march has come to the
Lands end and beyond is
Surf and the sea to wander.
Restless at dusk they turn from the
Beach and the seas churning
They do not look to the sea
They are silent: their mouths move
secretly.
Will you tell us what that means?
