 The rest of the story of the Pearl Harbor attack is history, but Sgt. Westhaver's Squadron spent many an irksome day sweating out" the arrival of replacements of men and aircraft so they too might get into the fight. Finally their day came and the Squadron landed on Efate, in the New Hebrides group. There, with the assistance of the Seabees, they built an airdrome and thirty days later the Marines landed. The Marines ships were the first craft of any kind to touch Undine Bay since 1870 when the last of the old

found that everybody had grabbed a war niche for himself. He pro- claimed after much deliberation, that he would be the one and only man who would not write about the war. Whereupon he was desig- mated to keep up the morale of the readers by digging up interesting stories on the home front.
 One interesting anecdote dealt with a magician appearing at a Boston theater who could change the color of his tie without batting an eyelash. MT. Dinneen took him to a we'll known and very swank cocktail lounge and there ensued a weird and hectic couple of hours during which time a couple of sailors, a mother and daughter and a Major and a blonde made firm and definite resolutions to go on the wagon. He commended the civ ilian group for the splendid work they were doing as soldiers with out uniforms.
 The inimitable Major Elmer Davis from First Service Com mand, presented to Col. Johnson, the General Sherman Miles Award for Bradley Fields outstanding ac- complishment in the 9th War Loan Drive. Maj. Davis kept his audience in stitches, explaining why no one should pay exhorbitant prices for inferior articles insisting it was much more sensible to save the money by buying War Bonds and make the purchases after the war is won.
 The Major comes from the good old state of Maine and his educa- tion has been diversified and deep and he knows his statistics thor oughly.
 Col. Johnson accepted the Gen. eral Miles Award in his gracious, sincere manner and spoke of his pride in the splendid work accom- plished during the last War Loan Drive. It was a most inspiring meeting from beginning to end and should spur everyone to work each and every day with every atom of courage and perseverance available

It was perhaps inevitable that the Supreme Court a free hand in creating monopolies and restraining trade Price-fixng and boycotting of legitimate articles of commerce by conspiracy among labor leaders can become just as obnoxious similar prac
 tices by employers. The proabor judges might well that the blanket exemption of labor from the antitrust laws would day give rise to prac- tices which even they could not stomach. That point was reached when the court decided the of New Yorks International Electrical Workers recently. e

The Mary Did Her Bit
(NeW York TineS)

(New York Times)
 The luxury liner Queen Mary launched in 1884, was built carry 100 passengers at speed of about 32 knots Her closest rival for speed the Nor mandie but in August 1938 she took the blue ribbon away from that -fated vessel Normally she would have passed uneventful life ticking off the sea miles between Bishop Rock and Ambrose Light. But another kind of destiny in store for herr-one which was to take her as George Horne wrote in this newspaper recently from the Clyde to Sydney from Halifax to the storm-racked Cape to Singapore, Bom bay and Trncomalee." Instead of 2,100 passengers travelling in style she carried loads of 15000 or more travelling to get where their services were urgently needed Half million American soldiers went to battle or returned on the Mary. One hundred thousand British soldiers including II 900 who arrived just in time to help hold the line at Fl Alamen were trans ported by the thrust of her 158000 horsepower engines
 Her captain for over three years has been Sir James Gordon Bisset commodore of the Cunard White Star Line whose age brought about his retirement from the British Naval Reserve twelve years ago. On the quarterback of the Mary, however he hardly in retirement. The most amazing feature of the story he told reporters its lack of escapes The Mary never a submarine, never fired her guns at foe and never fired upon. The Italians sank her once but only on paper. The nearest she to action two years ago when geyser spouted up 300 feet off her beam near the British Isles, but no harm came to her No one ever washed off her decks No American soldier died of any cause aboard her. But going to all alone relying on her speed for safety, she was ready for what might come. She is modern vessel complete with all the up-to-date gadgets, but know that what took her through every danger was an old fashioned thing the heart of oak in captain and every member of the crew Half million American families have reason to be grateful to those British Seamen who carried our boys safely over the great waters.

 The doors of the summer White House at Independence, Mo, have not been opened to a single rep resentative of press or radio since Mrs. Truman and her daughter ar rived early in June.
 But, not long ago, Mrs. Truman graciously made an appointment with representatives of the All American Newsreel Company of Chicago, a Negro organization, to enter the summer White House and take pictures of Vietta Carr, the colored cook. They wanted shots of her working in the summer White House kitchen.
 When this leaked to local news men, however, they put up such vail that Fred Canfil, U s. Marshal, appeared at the summer White House at o'clock on the morning the pictures were to be taken, and had a talk with the First Lady.
 In addition to being the chief Federal official in those parts, Fred was President Truman's sergeant in the last war, and friend of the family. Just what the u. S. Marshal told Mrs. Truman is not known, but later that day the colored newsreel men returned to Chicago without their pictures.

 Apparently the union which is clearly the moving spirit behind this enterprise is left wholly free to pursue its monopoly after purgng itself of employer participation.

BUSY MIR. FORRESTAL

Insiders have been joshing Sec retary of the Navy Forrestal and White House Naval Aid Capt. James K Vardaman ever since President Trumans fishing trip to Washington State.
 Truman was relaxing with Gov ernor Mon Wallgren and Senator Warren Magnuson of Washington one day when Magnuson picked up the phone and called the Navy De- partment in Washington, D. c. He wanted to get Forrestal to come out to Seattle to speak at Fourth of July celebration.
 But when he asked the Navy De- partment for Forrestal, Magnuson was told:
 The Secretary can't be inter- rupted now He's conferring with the Presidential Naval Aid"
 Whereupon another voice cut in on the conversation saying:
 Then let us talk to the Presi- dential Naval Aid"
 It was Harry Truman himself, on a phone extension. However, Forrestals aids were not inclined to interrupt the conference with Captain Vardaman, and since neither Truman nor Magnuson were in hurry, they didn't press the matter. Thirty minutes later Forrestal called back .4 M | Hello, MT. Secretary" greeted Truman jokingly, this is the Presi- dent. How come that when a United States Senator and the President of the United States tele- phone you, you can't speak to them because you're conferring with my Naval Aid?'
 Forrestal laughed, and accepted the invitation to come out and speak in Seattle on July 4.
