According to reports of the ae-
ton, Miller, in company with two
officers and several enlisted men,
was on the signal bridge OF the
battleship when the commanding
officer received fatal abdomi-
nal wound.
While the others sought to con-
struet stretcher to lower the
captain to a safer location, a ma
val lieutenant and Miller manned
pair of machine guns and fired
upon the attacking planes until
fires started by bombs rendered
the guns useless.
Unable to lower the captain by
the improyised stretcher, four Of
ficers and men. including Miller,
carried him from the blazing
bridge of the ship to a more shell
tered deck under the port side
anti-aireraft guns. Dying. the cap
tain ordered the ship to be aban-
doned. Miller and the other sur
yivors made their way to shore
hand over hand along lines strung
from a boat crane.
Miller was said to have shot
down four enemy planes during
the attack.
He was lost at sea while serv.
ing aboard the aircraft carrier
Liscomb Bay. which was sunk on
Nov. "a. 1913.
1t is proposed that PLAGUE
be erected on the theatre as a
memorial to Miller's heroic deeds.

Transit Company was taken over
by the Government when its work
ers struck but the President de-
crees that measures adopted by
his predecessor under pressure
and protest shall not be enforced
With this corporation now op-
Grated by the Government, the
latter becomes an active party to
the jim-crow practices of the for
mer, thereby making it as Off
cial as it could possibly be.
If this is the attitude of the
Administration in a minor case of

that tremendous job is ahead

AFTER VICTORY
IN EUROPE
New York Times)

History will record that the greatest
war ever fought on the continent of Eur
ope, war in which victory or defeat for
the Allied Nations mean the life or
death of all western civilization, ended in
the most crushing defeat ever suffered
by major military power. Never be-
fore has whole country been overrun
so completely by invading armies. Never
before have great cities been pounded so
thoroughly into rubble' by bombardment
from the air. Never before has the final,
ineffective resistance of a beaten enemy
ben directed by shadowy government
forced to seek refuge ANONYMOUSLY be-
yond the borders of its own homeland
in the territory of little nation which
was one of it's first victims. Now, indeed
in the greatest cataclysm in modern
history, do we see the bitter ruins of the
Nazi dream of world conquest, the COM
plete. collapse of the totalitarian state
the end of the adventure for which Hitler
armed and trained his people The man
who was to lead Germany to the dizzy
heights of world authority, and to such
prosperity and glory as it had never
known before. has led Germany instead
to the very pit of dishonor and disaster
Let those of his countrymen, who still
wish to do so, look upon the black and
smoldering ruin that is Germany and
make what they can of "the Hitlermyth''
The regime that was to last in Ger
many "for a thousand years" is gone
But one evil enemy still stands. Even
in this hour of victory in Europe, as we
pay honor to our Allies and salute the
gallant troops of our own armies, we
cannot afford for moment to forget
that there is great war in Asia to be
won. The full strength of our navy and
our air force. far greater army than we
have yet sent to the Pacific, and the COM
plete support of all of us at home will
be needed to win that war as decisively
and as finally as we have won the war in
Europe. To the soldiers and sailors on
that distant battlefront we owe assur-
ance that there will be no interruption
of our effort, no pause to celebrate at
home, not moments unnecessary delay
in throwing into the war against Japan
every ounce of strength that we can mus
ter. In our own interest we must seek
nothing less than the complete destruc-
tlon of the military power of that evil
breaker OF the peace. There can be no
halfway victory, no compromise, no will
lngness to let Japan keep portion of
her spoils. That course would lead us
only to temporary truce, an interval
OF poisonous suspicion and abiding hate,
IN which both nations built up armaments
for renewal of the war

RURAL ROADS AND
LEGISLATIVE ACTION

AS the state legislature begins wind
ing up one of it's longest sessions, I'm
perial county especially is watchful of
action on making funds available for
rural highway improvement and con-
struction Among projects that would
advance the county, none is of more i'm
portance than network of farm to mar
ket roads.
The senate roads committee has placed
its approval on bill which would appro-
pirate IL to Is million dollars to match
Is millions provided by the federal high
way program.
Thus far in the session the roads funds
measure has been tied up with battle
over continuation of tax reductions which
was voted by the legislature in 1943, and
general postwar construction set-up.
This muddle has caused considerable
anxiety among the people of the county.
They have not been able to reconcile the
mix-up with well-defined road program
which was conceived independent of post
war planning. Already the federal gov
ernment has established an annual fund
of $150,000,000 to run for three years.
This fund was set up on the state-match
basis and manifestly states must be on
the mark if ALLEGATIONS are to be made,
and work started
1t is not now believed that the roads
program will become ensnarled in the
rush of last-minute legislation, but many
feel that it should have been acted upon
early in the session and the machinery
started to speed construction.
Indications are that the session will
come to close by the fifth of June,
although there are more than hints of
last minute effort to enact some sort of
compulsory health measure, which would
extend the adjourning time indefinitely
Governor Warren is loath to let the ses-
sion end in complete defeat of his pro-
gram.
Until the budget hearings and argu-
ments end and this subject is disposed of
important pending measures are put
aside. Still in the balance is the decision
to keep the appropriations within the
scope of the original draft or "cut things
wide OPEN"
Once opened up, no one knows to what
length the various pressure measures will
run or how many millions will be added
to the biannium bill.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST
EVERYDAY ACCIDENTS

Not all accidents are related to traffic.
In the last three years 80 million Ameri-
cans have been injured in accidents and
no small portion have been other than
traffic-in homes, in the streets and so
on With arrival of vacation time and
end of school, the time again is ripe for
these types of mishaps.
The National Safety Council, through
years of study and accumulation of sta
tistics is pretty good authority on the
various causes of accidents, especially So
called domestic types.
During the period of travel restric-
tions, homes become more the center of
activities and in proportion, the place of
more accidents, or at least the dangers
are increased.
Recently the council drew up set of
warnings that it appears good thing
for each and every householder to know
and paste up somewhere in the way of
reminder.
Here they are:
Store winter equipment safely = not
on stairs of basement or attic.
Repair broken outdoor furniture,
broken porch floors, or steps.
Check ropes or chains on swings and
replace if defective.
Pick up all broken glass, old boards,
