Heavy Responsibility New Victory Loan

we can spend our way into pros

A better means Of shaking faith
in the safety of Government Sc
curities hardly could be found. OF
course, this obligation for special
effort" rests upon Congress as we'll
as upon the President and Mr.. VIM
son. But it rests most heavily upon
them because theirs is the duty Of
supplying the leadership. Both Mr..
Truman and Mr.. Vinson are up-
right, well-meaning men. There is
nothing the least sinister about
either.
II does seem, however, that they
have not fully grasped their "spe-
,cial-efiort" obligation. The basic
heed for recovery of our financial
equilibrium is so great that it can
be understood by almost every citi-
zen. 1t is so great that they easily
might find it politically more
profitable than exempting 12,o00,-
600 citizens from all taxes.

McLemore-
Finds Himself Bait
For Seret. SoImon
By Henry McLem ore

Looking through my diary toda,
discovered that it was Just tW
years ago that was appointe,
squad leader OF the Third Squad
Company d. Tenth Battalion. In
fantry Replacement Training Cen
ter, Camp Wheeler. Macon. Ga.
! was named for this honor b,
Sergt. Salmon, who had been il
the Regular Army since about Ligh
Horse Harry Lees time, and who's
contempt for recruits was matches
only by his ability to express thil
contempt.
BY naming me squad leader, Sergt
Salmon started me on the patti
which could have led to my being
q five star general, Only 18 grades
stood in front Of me. Had I beer
forceful enough, or lucky enough,
could have moved to private, private
first class, corporal, buck sergeant
staff sergeant, tech sergeant. first
sergeant, second lieutenant, first
lieutenant, captain. major, lieuten-
ant colonel, colonel. brigadier gen.
cral, major general, lieutenant gen.
eral, general and, finally, general
Of the army.
His reason for my selection gave
me q thrill of pride, as I stood
before him at ease and Ill at ease
buttons on my blouse smartly un-
buttoned, and with my ears pinned
back from an earlier session with the
company commander.
You March Like Monkey.
"You are such a lousy looking sol.
dier, Mcnamara" he said, that II
I put you up front there, every other
blankety- blank rookie will look like
West Pointer. I have watched you
march, and you march just like q
monkey playing with a football"
The only time Sergt. Salmon re-
fused TO let me lead the squad was
when We were marching by ths
Italian prisoner OF war camp. HI
always made me fall out then, and
tag along behind.
The prisoners always stood inside
the wire to watch us 60 by, anc
Sergt. Salmon said 1t would give
them too much hope for an Axis
victory to see me as q, squad leader
"Cne look at you, Mcnamara
ne said, "and they'd write home that
America was bound to lose"
Only once did the sergeant evel
pay me a compliment. That came
late In training. Just before we were
to leave for ports of embarkation
As q sort OF farewell he told me
that after watching me as a soldier
no one could ever tell him that
America hadn't done its best to win
the war.
when they got you in the Army
he told me, "this country proved II
had gone all-out for victory"
Lost on Night Problem.
These were perhaps the kindesi
words Sergt. Salmon spoke to me In
II weeks of basic training. He was
very bitter the night I took my
squad on night problem In COM
pass reading, and got SO lost that

full discussion was entered into
dealing with various misunder-

The following is an account of
the proceedings of the meeting
as related:

pressed itself as being against a
change in our present charter, but
is against making any change in
our pre- sent form of government
without submitting the proposed
change to an honest referendum,
so that the people who are called
upon to bear the cost of govern
mcnt may have a voice as to It's
form. With now voting machines
and the proposed reregiStratlon
an honest referendum should be
possible.
