WORKERS THANKED
FOR AAF SUCCESS

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-It was
the faithful work of the men and wo-
men of the nations aircraft produc-
ton lines that permitted the Army Air
Forces virtually to drive the German
Luftwaffe from European skies and
in the Pacific to move within easy
bombing distances of Japan, says the
second annual report of General H
H. Arnold, AAF commanding gen
eral.
The nations flyers, the report con-
tinued, depend on the continued devo-
tion to duty of these workers, to lash
coming aerial onslaughts on the ene-
mics.
Gen. Arn1id made it clear in his
report that he believed the AAF sue
cess was due to the teamwork of all
groups, both military and civilian.
The accomplishments of the AAF in
Europe varied, Arnold declared, from
the unspectacular day after day
strategic bombing of Nazi war plants
to the mystery story pre-invasion stor-
les to German n-occupied France de-

MOTHER OF MEN

(The following poem dedicated to the Amer
lean Red Cross is reprinted from Justice, off
cial organ of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union, by permission of tn
author)
By MAX PRESS
On grim forsaken fields of death,
In jungle, snow and sand,
You are the mother in cold and rain
Yours is the healing hand.
Now in the dark and tragic hour
When the young and brave go down.
And the burial-torches burn night-long
In each bloody and battered town.
Now when the outcast roam the earth
And kneel and watch their children
die,
Now when the eyes of a broken world
Seek a CLEAN in the starless sky
Set in your high and hallowed hand
A light for sinking world to see,
Rise with your courage and your faith,
A beacon for humanity.
To you the ravished millions turn,
A tortured world calls on your name,
Raise from the ruins that world again,
Be to the earth cleasing flame.

President Sees Security OF
Forests Vital To Nations
EcOnOm mic Futur e

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in congratulatory
letter addressed to the Chief of the
Forest Service, u. S. Department OF
Agriculture, on the occasion of the
10th anniversary of the establishment
of the Forest Service, said the eco
nomic future Of America cannot be
wholly safe until the future of the ma
tons forests are assured.
"Great tasks remain ahead in for
estry," Roosevelt said. "To most OF
our forests, forestry is still unknown
By actual results in peace and in war
we have more recently seen the forest
prove it's value to the soldier and sailor
at the front, the farmer and the city
man at home, and to all our great
numbering and wood-using industries
and the millions they employ"
The Presidents letter was read by
Chief Forester, Lyle F. Watts. at q
family meeting" of more than 6OC
Forest Service personnel and members
of their families in the Department OF
Agriculture auditorium.
Chief Watts predicted that 40 years
hence technical advances will have
practically eliminated fire losses on
the nations forest lands and that pub
lie control of cutting and other forest
practices on private lands will have
been accepted as ian essential part OF
the American way to insure security
for both the individual citizen and the
nation"
Among Watts predictions for the
future of forestry, was the descrip-
ton of timber as recognized major
farm crop in the eastern part of the
nation; operation Of many farm We
hicles with alcohol made from wood
instead of gasoline, a host of indus
tries using wood for the production of
varied paper, plastic and chemical
products.

GEORGIA FREE STATE

(From ST. Louis Post-Dispatch)
There is something inspiring in
Georgia's abolition of the poll tax.
This action by a state which 10 years
ago was sneeringly referred to as a
bog of bigotry- action, we empha-
size, which the Georgians took on
their own initiative and not as the
result of outside pressure and cam
paigning-shows again that self-help
and self-determinatio are the great
est assets man individually or collec-
lively can have.

by the fact that the two groups attended
separate schools for their first six grades.
When they were brought together to attend
seventh and eighth grades at Garfield school,
on the North Side, the collision was violent
1t was almost traditional that there be,
every year. at least one major fight between
a South Side and North Side boy These
were contests of champions. Whoever
fought from the South Side represented all
the boys of that side, and upon him de-
pended the fighting reputation of all the
South Side boys of that year.
The Challs.Ss
A YEAR before Dwight's entrance at Gar
field. his older brother. Edgar, had fought
and beaten much bigger boy from the
North Side. Thus when Merrifeld issued
his fighting challenge. Dwight had family
as well as sectional reputation to uphold.
But to the crowd which gathered in vacant
lot near the school to watch the fight,
Dwight's chances seemed slim.
Wesley Merriield was the acknowledged
champion of the North Side. He was no
taller than Dwight, but he was thick bodied,
heavy for his height, and long armed He
was remarkably fast, and his strength was
famous among all the boys in town.
Dwight, on the other hand was relatively
slender for his Is years, and he was notable
neither for his strength nor his speed. In
the scratch football games which the boys
played Dwight was generally placed in the
line, despite his small size, because he was
considered too slow for the back6eld.
In short. there seemed to be but one pos
sible outcome of any contest between
Dwight and Mortified. The only question
was how long Dwight could stay on his feet.

any battlefield. 1t was in his
home town, in boyhood
nwIGHT EIsENHowER's toughest battle?
IL There might be lots of argument on
that question. He's directed many tough
battle in the last three years. But think
the General might agree that the toughest
battle in which he personally engaged was
fought long before he'd thought of becoming
a soldier - way back in 1904 in his home
town of Abilene, Kansas.
In those days the tough cow-town tradi-
ton of Abilene was still a living thing for
the boys of the community, and Abilene boy
fights were rugged affairs which often ended
when an opponent was stretched uncon-
scious on the ground. But even in that town
the fight between Dwight Eisenhower and
Wesley Merriield was considered a classic.
J. H. six" Mcdonnell, boyhood friend
of Dwight's who now lives in Salina, Kan
sas, says fatty that it was the greatest kid
fight ever saw" G.. M. 'Bud" Huffman,
another boyhoOd friend, now a mail
carrier in Abilene, says that he's never
seen anything like it since, and never
expects to.
No one remembers what trivial incident
provoked the fight. but the real cause was
clear enough. Dwight Eisenhower came
from the south side of the Union Pacific
tracks - the section of the relatively poor
and humble Wesley Merrifeld came from
the North Side - the section of merchants,
doctors. lawyers bankers, men of weight
and prestige in the community. North Side
children looked down upon South Siders
as social interiors, snobbery encouraged

Star Athlete To Be Sinqer

New York, Feb. 26- (UP) Bill Bangert, the singing shot-putter from Missouri, decided today to choose art over athletics.
 It was successful Metropolitan opera addition that prompted the choice although he was even more impressive Saturday in winning the National Amateur indoor shot put ting title in the buSest day Of his life.
 Everything happened to Bangert at once, but the ull-shouldered baritone was more than match for the situation. He started out in the afternoon by singing two arias be fore Maestro Wilfred Pelletier, who was sufficiently impressed to urge him to return here for training after he finishes his college career at the University of Missouri. Finishing up his job on the prologue from Pag- lacci and the aria from Faust's soldiers farewell" Bangert hurried to another studio for tryout with the Fred Waring Glee Club.
 Barely making connections, he went to Madison Square Garden for the National A. A. U. track and field meet where he opened festivities by singing the Star Spangled Banner. Then he went out to win the shot put event over a large field of en- trants with toss of 50-feet, five and quarter inches.
 LumD In Throat
 T knew I'd win the shot put championship, he said. What real ly bothered me when I arrived in town was singing the National an- them in front of all these people. Bit that went off easily, too, after my Metropolitan opera addition. But those arias had to struggle past a lump in my throat
 Bangert, who weighs 230 pounds is still growing, returned today to his home in St. Louis.

Bruins, Rangers In Hockev Bottle
lRy United Press]

The fight for fourth place and a playoff berth in the Stanley Cup competition appeared to be develop ing into last ditch affair between New York and Boston in the Ma tional Hockey league today.
 Boston emerged from a to 4 with the Rangers at New York last night still one point ahead in the standings. but with nearly month of the regular season remaining, the issue was far from settled.
 The work of young Jack McGill, who rejoined the Bruins after serv- ing with the Royal Canadian air force. enabled them to score the tie. McGill, who played with the Bruins in the 1941-42 season, wiped out an early New York lead with two goals, one of them unassisted.
 At Chicago, the Detroit Redwings completed a weekend sweep of a series with the Blackhawks winning 3 to 1. after topping them, 4 to 2, at home the previous night. The de- feats left Chicago three full games behind New York with only eight more to play, thus giving the Hawks little chance to edge into the play offs.
 Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens set an all-time major league record with his 45th goal of the season which he scored in a 5 to 2 victory over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. The game was a rough-house affair all the way, 20 penalties being called.
 In another Saturday night game, New York had a 4 to 4 tie at Toronto

Second Tijuono Jockey Killed

Tijuana, Mex, Feb. 26-(UP)-An unsuccessful attempt to leap over two jockeys, who had fallen from their horses in collision, was be- lieved responsible today for the death of Veteran Rider Charlie Bianco in the second fatal accident at the Hipodromo De Tijuana in a week.
 Bianco native of Brooklyn, died last night at Mercy Hospital in San Diego of a cerebral hemor- rhage and basal skull fracture. The other jockeys, Earl Miller and Jack Fox, were recovering from minor in- juries.
 The accident occurred in the fifth race yesterday when Miller's horse, Movie Actor, stumbled in the back stretch throwing him to the ground. Fox, riding Big Parade and moving up on the inside, crashed into the other horse and was thrown to the ground
 Bianco, resident of Chula Vista, Cal, was trailing the field when the horses collided and tried to hurdle the fallen animals and their jock eys. His horse, Both Of Us, reared and turned over sending Bianco to the ground.
 The three riders were rushed to San Diego for emergency medical treatment but Bianco died shortly after arrival at the hospital.
