Memo To Troops On Home Front

NEW YORK UP A recent "Newsmap" for soldiers, prepared by the Army Information BranIh of the Army Service Forces, car ried the usual charts plus a spe- cial message: It read:
 MEMORANDUM FOR THE
 ARMED FORCES
 Subject: Home Front
 Production
 "l. Attention is invited to the facts and figures on home front production submitted herewith for your approval.
 "2. The numbers mean that the United States is turning out more equipment than all the rest of the countries in the world combined.
 "3. The vast numbers are oniy part of the story. They are the re- suit of the sweat and prayers of millions of men and women on the production line. That line now in- cludes boys and girls working af- ter school, housewives who place their children in well-supervised day nurseries while they are at the plants, and men and women who have come back out of re- tirement to bring the end of the war closer.
 "4. The job on the home front is to produce, transport and dis tribute. Most of the folks at home do that job with the same loyalty and energy as you fight overseas"
 Photographs illustrated such production statistics as: 424.ooo pieces of artillery made from Jan uary l, 1922, to January 1, 1894: l,lso,ooo,ooo rounds of ammuni- ton turned out in 1922 and ls4s: 5000 planse last March.

JONES ACT WAIVERS CONTINUED

! uation of waivers of the Jones Act to enable transportation of pas sengers and freight between Alas ka ports on Canadian vessels through July 3l.
 This action, strongly urged by Delegate Bartlett, officials of the Interior Department and many Alaska organizations and individ- uals, was necessary so that waiv- CTS allowed in 1922 would remain effective beyond the suspension date of May 31.
 Deeming that "such action is necessary in the conduct of the war;" the order of the Treasury Department specifics that sections of the Jones Act will be waived "to the extent necessary to permit the transportation of passengers on Canadian vessels between pionts in Alaska" and "to permit the transportation of merchandise on Canadian vessels between ports in southeastern Alaska, south of Yakutat, and ports in British Columbia as portion of the transportation of that mer- chandise between points in Alas ka and points in the continental United States"
 The order also states that if the transportation of any merchandise on Canadian vessel is not com pleted on or before midnight on July 3l, penalties prescribed in the Jones Act will prevail.
 Delegate Bartlett will urge the continuation of these waivers be- yond July 31 until such time as American bottoms are available to render adequate service.
 GovERNoRsHIp BILLS
 INTRODUCED

GETTING GOATS
 TAXES EXERCISE
 MARINES LEARN

A PACIFIC BASE = Fifty-four Marine veterans of Saipan admit their fight against the Japanese was tough. but assert their war against wild goats here was, in some ways tougher. The goats were destroying pasture and hastening erosion on the island, and Marines were assign cd the job of wiping them out.
 The invasion of goat land led into country more rugged than the. vet crans had ever seen. One group ol six Marines, separated from the main party, travelled over trails even the goats had abandoned as unsafe spending two days and two nights in cold, gray cloud mists without food or water.
 The record chalked up in the goat war was 319 dead and an un- scored number of probables.
 After returning to the compara- tive comforts of the main camp one Marine explained: What goats we couldn't shoot, we ran to death.

education or was getting it, is cer- tainly in a better position now. If his folks were paying his way, they are now relieved of most and probab- ly all of the school costs, and he has $50 more a month than his parents would have given him for personal i expenses. He would not lose any of the 50 dollars, if he had tor earned) any other income or if his parents contributed.
 If he was working his way or intended to do so, he now will be able practically to loaf through, be- cause he'll only have to work enough to collect a little extra dough for subsistence.
 Along about the middle of your letter, in writing about the percent interest rate which is the maximum permitted for a veterans Govern guaranteed loan, you say, we know that these institutions (private lending institutional are not going to lend money at percent to veter- ans when they can get per cent or more elsewhere
 But the facts don't say so. AL ready 3,339 loans for homes, farms and business under the CT Bill guar anteed-loan plan have been made to veterans by private institutions. None of them are over 4 percent either.
 T have q hunch there would be many more, if prices weren't gener- ally above ordinary or average values The Veterans Administra- tion can't complete a guaranteed loan if the price to be paid for the property is greater than a reason able normal value. I'd guess this throws cut the possibility of many loans
 But bankers and other lenders generally are anxious to help the veterans and often would make a loan to a veteran at the 4 percent rate, but are stopped by the fact that the V. A. can't guaranty on ae- count of how the doggone property cost is excessive.
 I've heard it said that some lend CTS who don't like the low percent

WASHINGTON - Way up irl Alaska, a Global War veteran reads this stuff of mine. He wrote a nice letter but, like all GIs and ex-GIs he had couple of gripes-one about the subsistence allowance for a vet who gees in, for the CT Bill educa- tion scheme and the other about leans planned in the CT Bill. You might be interested in his two kicks and my answer, so here's the way l wrote to him.
 "Ycur interesting and thoughtful letter finally got down to me here but l haven't had time until now to acknowledge.
 You ask if it's possible for a married man to clothe. board and provide living quarters for his wife and himself while going to school full time on $75 month. It's possible but of course difficult.
 Yet I don't think we should sheer at $75 a month. It seems small sum for a man and wife when I think of it as a number of dollars. But when I consider that the Gov ernment will agree to pay for all tuition, books, supplies and fees up to 5Co bucks school year plus $75 a month for man and wife, it seems to be a generous proposition.
 T can't forget that thousands and millions of young men in the past have taken training courses and gone through years of college edu- cation cn their olU7t-with no finan- cial help from the federal govern mert or from anyone.
 They have worked part-time, they have worked and saved during summer vacations and thus, want ing knowledge, got it despite finan- cial difficulties. So when the Gov ernment offers the CT Education program to veterans-offerS year of training to any qualified ex- service man regardless of age, and mere than a year to those whose education was interrupted by service T can't help but feel that it's a rather handsome offer after all.

on the Fourteenth bus when the
white man was stricken. DR.. John
son gave first aid and remained
with LaGaulox until he reached
his home.
Said DR.. Johnson. II felt that IL
was simply the duty of a citizen
TO help. It is at least one small
way to contribute to better race
relations"
LaGaulox. the D.S.R. dispatcher,
and members of the police depart
ment who were called to the scene
of the incident said. This man
(Johnson) did a splendid job in
giving hrst aid and perhaps pre-
vented LaGaulox from being more
seriously hurt"
DR.. Johnson attributed his
knowledge Of first aid to the work
he has done with athletes. 1t was

Negro Newspapers

General Patton's dash through
France
The discrimination stories
however, make up a formidable
part of the total Negro news
diet. says TwOhey. These, with
stories of success. add up to the
chronicle of the Negroes uphill
struggle for self-respect.
The papers of the South are
classed as more conservative
than those published in the North.
There is an implication, the arti-
Gle says. that certain stories may
be safely published north of the
Mason-Dixon line. but not below
it. This may explain, it says. the
lower proportion Of racial con-
troversy noted in the Southern
Negro press.
AS to politics, the article points
out, the Negro press pays almost
no attention to any politics out
side the strictly Negro issues, and
so cannot be said to have any
consistent political party tone"
Emphasis, ii says, is put on Ne
gro rights and Negro self-respect,
hoping that thus they can build a
structure in the shadow of which
hatred will wither.
