There is a possibility, Capt. Shee.
hy said in an interview, that a let.

many is defeated may be reflected
to the men in the Pacific through
the folks at home. Sailors will
want leave to come home, he said
and obviously these requests woulc
have to be denied.
He fears this might cause a let
down in the high state of morale
which now exists.
Want to Be Up Front.
The men in the Pacific want to
be right up in the front pitching
at the enemy, Capt. Sheehy said.
Even in Hawaii now there is a feel
ing among the service personnel
that that territory is not in the
front line and the men assigned
there are getting restless. They
want to get further up front.

aboard carrier with the task forces
in the Pacific for many months, said
our Navy men are no more afraid
to attack the Japs than would any

confidence, because they know that
they have the best fighting equip

Our flyers are beating the Japs
now, either because the enemy's best
have been knocked out or the Amer
ican flyers, with their intensive bat
tie training, are far superior than
those available earlier in the con-
f1ict. Capt. Sheehy said he was in
clined to think that the latter prob
ably was the reason.
He said he had been with fleets
where the flags of five nations were
flying on the participating ships
and he had talked with the men
of those forces. All of them, he
reported, are looking to the United
States for guidance and leadership
now and after the war.

Maverick 10 Check
On Sunday Opening
OF Tours Of Capitol

Maury Maverick, chairman OF the
Smaller War Plants Corp. and vice
chairman Of the War Production
Board, who urged opening the Capt.
tol all day on Sunday for sight-seers
will be on hand tomorrow to "see
how things are going" when the
Capitol Building opens its doors.
In q letter to members of the
Capitol Police Board, Mr.. Maverick
also explained his attitude toward
the present system Of conducted
Capitol tours under which guides
earn their living by charging fees
to explain the building to visitors.
Clarifies Suggestion.
He said that when he referred
previously to putting the guides un-
der civil service he did not mean
that the guides should be under a
department but that the jobs should
be on civil service standards" with
the guides getting good salaries and
pensions.
There is no reason" he said, "why
we shouldn't have a reasonable
number of guides to watch out for
people when they come into their
own Capitol. It might be a good
idea to put the guides in neat
uniforms and have them form a part
Of the guard system. However, this
Is only very remote suggestion"
He said he hoped the Capitol
Police Board, members of Congress
and Capitol employees would not
resent the fact he was doing every
thing he could "as a common citizen
to advocate the opening of the
Capitol and salaries and pensions
for the guides.
Would Freeze Jobs.
Mr.. Maverick also urged that the
nine guides who form the present
fee-collecting staff should be frozen
In with good jobs" under a salary
system.
The Capitol will be open from
9 am. to 4:30 pm. tomorrow. Sight,
seers other than war workers and
servicemen, however, still will have
to pay the regular fee of Is cents II
they want to have the symbols of
Government explained to them. The
fee for war workers is Is cents, and
service personnel will be taken
