was idly wondering if news
of the war had reached Heaven
Tin gloomy moments I am appal-
led by a thought that Gabriel
Heater is not getting through,
when cadet, head bowed, started
for me. He was of medium height,
his black hair cut very short, and
he was making broad gestures.
AS he got closer, I noticed he was
talking to himself. When he came
within earshot I heard him say
ing:
''Now, Ben, you can do it per-
fectly well. Don't say you can't
do it. Say you can. Then you
will. Everybody else does it.
But if you don't, you've lived
gloriously. Easy, Ben. Watch
yourself, Ben. Everything is 60
ing to be all right"
There seemed to be the shadow
of a doubt in Ben's mind. When
he got to me, he said nervously:
"You're Dowd. I'm Crandall.
I see we're to do this awful thing
together" Then he ducked his
head and began to egg himself on
again.
whats awful about it, Ben?
It's glamorous. Think of it that
way. Besides, you wouldn't ever
know what hit you. Shut up,
Ben"
It was a thrilling exhibition of
what a high-strung boy would do
for his country, but it augured an
hour of anguish for the co-pilot
"Don't mind me-" he said, look
ing at me again. His eyes were
very clear and bulged slightly and
his mouth was thicker and broad
er than normal. II drive myself
this way"

In the midst of this wanton de.

With one try remaining, my
score totaled an anemic eight

barely pass me. The target ap-
peared. It was boat. That much
was plain. Garments shaky hand
reached for the buttons. I was not
sure, but anything was better than
that. I grabbed his hand away

Carmen went wild. Considering

was little cause for rejoicing. Still
it is not every day you sink the

Little by little, Carmen Gained

FARMERS URGED TO

For the same reason the sup
ply of nitrogen produced available
for use as fertilizer has been cur
tailed. Fixed nitrogen produced
in Government war plants was
until recently being converted in
to nitrogen solutions for use in
mixed fertilizers and into am
monium nitrate, but this nitrogen
is now being used in munitions;
hence, supplies of these materials
will be considerably less than
last year. The shortage will be
made up in part by larger i'm
ports Of Chilean nitrate.
''The supply of potash will be
adequate for making the grades
recommended by State expert
ment stations" he concluded.

put a bubble octant in my hands
and showed me out into the night.

'"That," said Mr.. Caldwell Jelly,

What separted the men from
the boys was the solo flight in a
P-boat. It was an elastic require
ment that only held when the
squadron was flush with planes.
If there was extra stock on hand,
the students who had satisfactorily
completed their training in the
patrol bombers, and were judged
competent for the undertaking,
finished the course by soloing. A
few weeks of this regime was
enough to liquidate any surplus
in materials. Then the system
would have to be abolished until
production provided excess again.
When I passed by, they were, SO
to speak, dumping coffee in the
Gulf once more.
Two students and a mechanic
went together on these forays.
The cadets were always anxious
to 60 because the flight was the
last barrier between serfdom and
their commission. When it was
done, you were emancipated. On
the other hand, the trip held out
nothing but unrewarded peril to
the mechanic. He was usually
dragged aboard kicking and scr
canning.

ton, however, was synthetic
training. One of the hangers
housed a lethal amusement pal
ace where warfare and Coney
Island blended into high, cru
sading entertainment. You
could have a barrel of fun firing
miniature machine guns at NINA
ture planes, playing rear gunner
in make-believe turrets and dog
fighting in the imitation cockpits.
The trade that otherwise flocked
to the Flying Turns lined up for
a chilling ride on the bomb train
er. The Navy had not yet leased
soft-drink concessions but Of
ten felt that surprise crackerjack
with a little grenade at the bot
tom was closer than television.
The proprietor of this murder
Gus fantasia was Seaman Carmen
Lotto who devoted his special at
tentions to a naval derivative of
pin ball called "Identico." en-
entico" was a required part of
the curriculum. Instead of balls
running through tunnels and
dropping into slots ships and
planes of the quarreling nations
appeared. The zest of the thing
lay in identifying the ship or
plane as friend or foe and then
shooting at the quarry or letting
it pass as the case might be. If
you pushed the right button, bells,
pealed, the enemy sank or went
down in flames, and your score
mounted apace. Should you mis-
takenly fall upon an ally, morti-

"Identico," primarily because of
Garments patriotic kibitzing. He
was acknowledged champion of
"Identico," and his feelings were
so violently anti-Nazi that when
ever a cadet threatend to err, Car
men would jab the right button
before any damage could be done.
The day I took the test, Car
men had just returned from
ten-day leave. To say he was off
his game is to trifle with grace. I
was relying heavily on him to
pull me through. When his first
shot was broadside into the U.
S. S. Massachusetts,, I was as stag
gered as the. battlewagon. Up
went the sign.

very happy"

In the next few minutes he &C
counted for more than three hun
dred thousand tons of Allied ship
ping. His bag included the Penn
sylvania, Nevada, Portland, an
aircraft tender, and one Liberator
bomber. Furthermore, he allowed
the japanese cruiser Yubari to
pass by unmolested, presumably
leaving it free to ravage the en-
tire West Coast. It was the worst
day our side had seen since Sin

CHAPTER XII

There was staggering amount
OF ground school to be covered in
the P-boat squadron. The stiffest
requirement was taking twelve
words minute in radio code. The
more I struggled with this assign
ment, the more I became con-
WINGED that the talent to decipher
: was a natural gift. If code does
not evoke a spontaneous response,
like poetry or music, the task is
hopeless. I never burned with
anything like hard Morse-like
flame. Code at the rate of twelve
words a minute beat senselessly
against my ear drums like rain
on the roof.
The others seemed internally
rugged for radio reception.
must have been handicapped by
the absence of some essential an
tenna, some small but vital or
gan that unlocked the secret. It
was frightening deficiency.
used to toss in bed wondering
what might happen if one of my
garbled messages fell into the
hands of some Inflated Garcia.
History would fly off on an I'M
charted course and upset the care
fully laid, postwar plans. That
thought was more than I could
bear. After three weeks in a
coded darkness, I went in desper-
alton to the instructor.
"You can get this he insisted.
Practice talking in code for a
while. Instead of saying, Hi,
joe greet him with 'dit-dit-dit-
dit, Observation-Disclosures"
It was stunning advice. I was
leery at first. One could not go
chattering about the streets like
an unattended key. Society
takes stern measures with such
cases. The experiment was re-
served for my roommates.
The next morning the bugle
stirred us at O600. I was going to
make the usual salutations in a
CHEEKY string of dts and 'da's'
until I looked above me. A hum
ched figure in wrinkled pajamas,
mouth opened losely, bleary-eyed
and groaning, was emerging pain
fully from sleep. I had not the
heart to open the day with signals.
He would have fallen out of the
bunk from shock. Besides, his
name was Kannipiki, and at
O6OO, even with my enthusiasm
for radio, I am scarcely up to
saying, "Good morning, Kannipi-
XII" in the Morse code.
eventually passed the exam,
but it was not good for me. It
caused reshuffling in my sub
conscious. Pieces like ulysses"
and 'The Charge of the Light Bri-
gade," memorized in bright child
hood and constantly recalled by
some connecting flash, now came
barking back in code. 'The
Field Artillery March, in radio
recollection amounted to dis
ease. When the caissons came
rolling along at twelve words a
minute, I had to put everything
aside, pull the shades and lie
down.
