Crews, coming up for air at
Colon, would see other ships

and awaiting passage through
the locks. One day they looked
out over the broad Pacific and
instead of just their own flat

Overhead was an umbrella of

FLIERS ARE MERE KIDS
Yet do not think that the fliers
and the teams aboard their car
riers are veterans. Most of those
whom | accompanied part of the
way on their route 10 join the
war against Japan were mere
boys. Eighty per cent had just
been graduated from training
and never had been in combat.
Kids, they were, who except for
their Navy training knew only
what they had learned in a cou-
pie of years at Harvard, Ar
kansas State Teachers College
or V. NJ. |. Yet their training
was such that they guided their
planes as much by coordlnated
reflexes as by conscious thought.
And their chiefs - the battle

ed so young in their command
ers' and lieutenant commanders
stripes that anywhere in the
United States the sight of them
would have caused persons on
the street TO turn around and
wonder if they had borrowed
their elders uniforms.
Every day not only the filters
and the equally-trained and he
roic but still younger enlisted
air gunners and radio men, the
entire personnel Of the ship with
which they served, risked their
necks training for the big event,

German Orphans Prove One Of the
Pathetic Legacies Of Nazi Regime
BY GODFREY II p. ANDERSON

Berlin.-Thousands of hungry
halfclad children left without
parents or homes are the most
pathetic innocent victims of Hit
ler's war. You see them every
where in the larger German cities
-whitefaced gaunt-eyed ghosts
wandering amidst ruins, living
by their wits until youth aid or
CARNATIONS find them.
1t is officially estimated there
are $4,000 homeless children in
Munich alone. Many lost both
parents in the war. Some of the
youngest do not even know their
names.
Run Wild
The older ones who often had
no schooling were for years ae-
customed only to life of running
wild on the streets. Some of the
II and l2-year-olds are partic-
ularly difficult to handle since
they are constantly trying to es-
cape from authority in order to
resume a career of thieving and
schounging' which they call lad
venture"
Berlin newspapers contain daily
columns headed "Kinder Verlo-
rem lost children) with pathetic
appeals from parents who lost
families when the war swept
down on them, sometimes more
than a year ago. Some, giving up
hope of finding their own chill
dren, offer to adopt others but
often they are living in half
destroyed homes which r I'M
suitable so the offers have to be
refused.
Here is just one case from thou
sands:
Five little boys and three little
| girls--the youngest one and a hall
years old-are sharing four beds
in a Berlin hospital. They were
found weeks ago motherless in q
freight car at Kustrin. There were
six bovs-one of whom has since
died. The three girls, all in rags,
we're covered with sores.
Only one of the boys knows his
name-It's Klaus-but even he
cannot explain how they came &c
be alone half-starved in a freight
car.
Berlin people are doing what
they can to aid these tragic cases
by organizing Save the Children
funds, collecting money, clothing
and toys, trying to find new
homes. But what they cannot dc
is restore little orphans to par
ents the Nazi warlords took
away.

We take into consideration the
fact that the military authorities
are trying 10 bring back to the
United States in ten months an
army which it took four years to
send overseas, we realize the
magnitude of the undertaking.
Population Trends
Despite the heavy casualties
which we suffered during World
War ii, statistics show that the
birth rate in this country has
been steadily increasing since
1889 and that 1860. 900 births in
the United States were reported
between January /, 1912, and
July /, l945-the three years we
were at war-.which means that
the reported 1880 deaths in
action and the $4,000 deaths
from other causes had a negligi-
BILE effect upon the u. S. popu-
lation trend.
The following information from
the Census Bureau shows that
while registered deaths during
the war years fluctuated but lit
tie from the number of deaths in
the years before the war began,
each wal year produced consid-
erably more infants than did the
preWar years:
1899, 2,265,588 births.
1910, 1880, 399 births Can in
crease of 94,8ID.
1941, 2,513,427 births Can in
crease Of 23,028).
1912, 2,808, 1896 births Can in
crease of 295, 569).
1943, 1894, $50 births Can in
crease of 125, 864).
1914, 1874, 800 births "a small
decrease over the previous year
but well above any prewar year).
Thus it is shown that in con
trast with practically all of the
other countries who engaged in
the war, the United States
emerged with potential manpoW-
er stronger than before the con-
flict.
