WHEN THE GUNS CEASE FIRING

The railroads are not going to lose the peace if they can
Up it, insofar as transportation is concerned. They are con-
.nplating future transport problems without a moments let
} in the hectic struggle to meet the abnormal transportation
( mands of war.
A railroad committee has been appointed to make a care
Il study of every form of transportation including analysis
G AZ separate major industries which among them produce the
/ Tx of the freight moving in the United States. In addition
1 e committee is studying such phases of railroad operation as
lgineering, mechanical, operating methods and procedures,
labor and personnel, traffic, accounting and statistics, finance,
xation, and many others. The membership of the committee
includes men of broad experience in all sorts of transportation
nd all aspects of railroadng. AS the Association of American
Railroads says: "Ihe approach of the committee is one Of
healthy inquiry and experienced skepticism, embracing moth
ing as superior merely because it is new, but clinging to moth
ing old merely because it is established. In that spirit the
committee is undertaking to survey the whole field of transport
tation in America and to look and plan ahead for the future,
to the end that there shall be more adequate, dependable and
serviceable transportation, more economically and efficiently
by the means of carriage best suited to do each Of
the particular tasks of transportation that are to be done"
Railroad arrangements know that some day the guns will
be silent. They plan to be ready for that day.

When Marines Took arawa

The action to take Tarawa last
November cost the lives of many
American marines. In the battle
were representatives from Laurel.
Flame throwers were used to turn
the heat on Japs in strongly forti-
fled positions, and to the flame
throwing marines is given much
credit by Master Sgt. Jim Lucas of
Tulsa, Okla, combat correspondent,
for eventual consolidation of the
landing.
Sgt. John Rybin of Laurel worked
in his fathers blacksmith shop be-
for he became a marine. In peace
time he had made many flame
throwing outfits to burn weeds and
grasshoppers on city lots and the
fields of farmers. After Tarawa,
his father remarked: "John NAV
have made the outfit he used there;
he certainly knew how"
Dated from Tarawa last Nov. "a.
Master Sergeant Lucas wrote:
One of the most thrilling chapters
in the capture of the Gilbert Islands
was written by a group of U. S..
marine flame-throwers, more than
t%wo-thirds of whom gave their lives
to burn the japanese from their
pillboxes on the coral wastes of this
Central Pacific outpost.
Many were killed as they strug~
gled to reach the beaches with the
first assault waves, and others were
thrown into the sea when enemy
shells hit their assault barges. But
those who reached the shore quickly
reformed their lines and went about
their grim business. In the end,

UNCLE SAM: PUBLISHER

The U. S. Government now prints more newspapers, mag
aKnes and other periodicals than all the private publishers Of
any single state put together, according to a recent compila-
ton, says the Austin, Mimi, Herald. The survey showed that
federal employees edit:
-Four dailes, eight weeklies, eight bi-weekies, one hundred
and ten mOnthles, Fifteen quarterlies.
Unnumbered other periodicals either issued irregula1y
throughout the year, or regularly during certain seasons of the
year.
The Government periodicals range in size from that of q
typical weekly newspaper to larger sized, slick paper magazine,
and, so far, no attempt has been made to reduce Uncle Sans
periodicals in size, although private publishers have suffered
what amounts to a Is per cent cut in paper since last year.
The reporter who made the compilation says he is sure
he did not find all of Uncle Sans publications. There are 2,241
Government agencies today, he pointed out, and it would take
him a full year to check with all of them.

throwers to reach Tarawa. He came
ashore through a murderous ma
chine-gun fire. Moving directly
against a Jap machine gun emplace-
ment, he succeeded in reaching his
objective and destroying it with
a single blast from his big flame
gun.
With PFC. Clarence Lasley, %
years old, Hopkins, Mo-, Leslie went
back aboard his assault barge on
the beach, where a hundred marines
were dying under enemy mortars
and machine-gun fire.
The boat sank under them, carry
ing their flame gun to the bottom,
and the two men swan four miles
to another boat. They returned to
their transport for more supplies
and went back to the beach. BY
nightfall they had wiped out three
enemy pillboxes and enabled the
marines to establish their first
beachhead.
Without the flame-throwers, that
position might have been u%ntenable
and the landing might not have
been consolidated.

throwers was stopped in the water

Harper's boat sank under him as
he went ashore with the first wave,

his flame gun on his first Jap only

The flame throwers originally
were combat engineers and now that

the dead.

Score in Concluding
Show al Rye, n. Y.
BY r. r. TAYNTON,

opCClBi SOkIcSpOuQCnt VI AhC 0SAls
RYE, N. Y, June 12.-The 18th
annual show of the Longshore
Kennel Club pulled a far better day
out Of the weather grab bag than
its bigger sister, the North West
chester Club, did on the preceding
day. Consequently, the climax Of
the show was seen by q larger
throng and there was more acclaim
for the supreme winner, which was
Mrs. Sherman Hoyt's white poodle,
Oh. Blakeen Luzon.
This seems to be following a we'll
established pattern for this pair Of
shows.
The group winners numbered two
fine specimens that came up from
the classes Of their respective
breeds. They were the German
shepherd, Frigga Won Hoheluft,
owned by Pvt. Bernard v. Daku,
and the miniature pinscher, Anna
mel v. Rocksburg, owned by Mrs.
F. w. Hartman. The other group
winners were the English setter, Oh.
Lem of Blue Bar, owned by G. N.
Myers; the Afghan hound. Oh. Ra-
jah Of Arken, owned by Charles
Wersman; the Kerry which won
best in shows the day before, Oh.
Kenmare Brian Baru, owned by
Carl Geiss.
A number Of Washington exhib-
itors did not stay for the two days
of shows. Several Of those who did
were rewarded with higher honors
than they had won on the first oc-
casion. Among these were r. w
Lyons bulldog, Oh. Basford British
Mascot, which topped the breed and
placed second In the group. Mas
cots daughter, Fernstone Fairholme
owned by Lyons and Lockhart, wal
FIRST in the puppy bitch class and
reserve winner.
Two Washington area hounds
went to best OF breed. They were
Julia Shearer's whippet, Black
Magic of Meander, and Peter Van
Brunt's Irish wolfhound, Erin II
Mrs. Lucille Miller had both the
best Of breed and the best of op-
posite sex winners in her two Samoy-
Iedes, Valya Of Snowland and Zan-
tok Of Breezewood.
DR.. James r. Mitchell also had a
test-o breed winner in his French
bulldog, La France Little Ricco.
Mrs. A. S. Monroney was best Of
breed with her West Highland
white Oh. Heatherhill Peacock and
winners dog with her Robinridge
Recruit.
Other ribbon winners included the
Beech Tree Farm shelties and col
lies. the Gardeners airedale and the
boxers from Keith Merril's South
down Kennels.

and five passes before driving MIN
to cover in the sixth. Milo Candini
and Bill Lefebvre finished with the
AS raising their hit total to 10.
A double by George Case and a
wild throw by Second Baseman Joe
Rullo in the eighth saved the Mats
from q shutout.
Some fuzzy fielding helped swell
the Mack count. The AS earned
their first tally with the Mats miss
ing double-play chance to block it
After a pair Of singles put over a
run in the fifth, another hit and a
pass filled the sacks Then an error
by George Myatt let in two more
markers Two singles backing a
walk in the sixth meant another
run and Haefner's departure. A wild
throw by Johnny Sullivan when a
rundown of Ford Garrison was at
tempted in the eighth following a
catch of foul by Joe Kuhel ac-
counted for the tally off Lefebvre.
Wolff Blows Sky High.
The second game looked good for
the Mats after they twice had
punched three hits off Luman
Harris for two runs each time, but
Roger Wolff, who had been found
for a homer by Frankie Hayes in
the second inning, yielded four
singles in row in the fifth and
with none out AL Carrasquel was
rushed to the rescue. AL failed to
make good. A triple by Dick Siebert
drove over the third and fourth
runs of the round and Irv Hall
singled over the fifth tally. Then
Candini took over for the second
time in the afternoon and stopped
the AS cold.
With two singles and a pass the
Mats filled the bases to rout Harris
in the ninth and Joe Berry came to
the hill. Early Wynn batted for
Candini and fouled out. Cases out
field retirement got Gil Torres
home, but the potential tying and
winning runs were stranded when
Myatt grounded out.
For the opener of the four game
series with the Yanks, Johnny Mig
ceiling will go to the pitching hill
tonight. He looks the best the Mats
have at present, although he was
beaten his last time out after being
handed a seemingly sound lead
Dutch Leonard and Early Wynn
likely will get the second and thiro
game hill assignments in the set
Mats Gain While Losing.
Although they still are in las
place as they we're when they en-.
tered the set with the AS, the Nat:
now are but 31a games off the
lead instead of 512 as they were
after they sank to the bottom dur.
