infiltration of absolutist, Nazi, and fascist

forgetting rather than repeating past errors.
.To arrive at continental unity OF pro-

it is essential to band together the individual

Well Need The Islands

Robert Sherwood besides being playwright

he was head of Owls foreign office, and is
Just back from a 370o0-mile tour with the
United States Fleet as a temporary assistant
to the Secretary of Navy, has come out I'M
eouivocally for retention of our Pacific bases
as safeguard of future security.
81 hope and pray we will hold on to the
islands we paid such tremendous price to
win,'' he declared in Washington upon his
return from the Far East We join him in his
hope and prayer.
If we fail to exercise dominating influence
in the Pacific after the war we will have
fought and conquered the Japanese largely in
vain, for whatever punishment is meted out
TO them it is not to be believed their military
caste will undergo a change of heart quickly,
but will be kept down only by the presence
of superior power in the region of the world
they have visioned as their own.
japanese war-makers will give up thought
of new conquests than that the German Army
element will not do all it can to make war
again at some future time.
The Japanese as well as the German mill
tarists are completely war-minded and must
be cowed into peace. They cannot be con-
verted to it. Nor can all of them be destroy
ed in this war, any more than the militarists
of Germany can all be eliminated in the battle
now under way, however thorough the Allied
occupying forces may do their work with that
in view
The Pacific, and the world, must be safe
guarded against another outbreak of war by
the japanese. The islands which we have
established major bases therefore are an in
tegral part in any peace program we adopt for
the years to come.
There is no thought Of imperialism or en-
pire in this. 1t is only an essential step for
the preservation of peace in region where
the waging Of war has been taught and the
thought Of conquest cultivated as sedulously
as in Germany.

Unconditional Surrender

-"Pure eyewash' was the way Robert Muir
ply our political adviser on German affairs
at General Eisenhower's headquarters, describ-
ed criticism of the Allies unconditional sur
render policy. And the enemy's attitude seems
to justify Mr.. Murphy's brief description.
As long as the Nazis rule Germany any
compromise surrender would leave the core of
Nazism intact. The poison would still be there
and with 1t the seeds of another war. Even
In the event of revolutionary overthrow of
Hitler, the same policy would certainly be
necessary. And if such revolution were genu-
Inc, it probably would not be difficult of full
, fillment.
Hitler and his circle have little hope and
probably little desire for a compromise sur
render. Their vain but persistent hope is for
4 breakdown of the alliance between the Unit
ed States, Britain and Russia In that and
not in conditional terms, would be their best
hope Of survival.
AS Mr.. Murphy pointed out. the Germans
"are now witnessing the thing they under
stand best-superior force of arms" Anything
less than the full harvest OF the whirlwind
they have sown might leave them unconvinc.
ed. and remaining danger to world peace.

He is spending his spare time

Ensign Herbert Gidney, Jr., of
1923 Devonshire ST. Pittsburgh,
is a torpedo-bo1nber pilot who was
making his first combat strike
when he flew over Tokyo. He said
he was so engrossed with doing
everything just right that he
wasn't scared at all.
Gidney is a big fellow. He went
to Lehigh University, and you'd

he were on skis!

16.

IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC
Delayed)-The pilot of our car
rier who shot down the first Jap
plane of our trip was Ensign
Frank Troup, of Decatur, Ala. 1t
was a reconnaissance plane, and
he got it the day before we got
to Tokyo waters.
1t was his fifth, and made him
an ace. Thoup said the only
reason he got it was that he hap
pened to be closer than his wing
mates when they spotted it.
The boys who fly the patrols
say that when they spot a single
Jap plane, everybody in the patrol
opens wide open, and it's just like
horse race to see who gets with
in shooting distance first. This
time it was Troup.
Next in line to Troup was En-
sign Bob Hinkle, of Gas Santa
Ana, ST. Long Beach, Calf. That
was the third time they'd been
together when Troup got plane.
It had almost got to be joke.
Hickle had gradually worked into
the same category as always a
bridesmaid, but never a BRIDE"
Hickle joked, 'Now that Tr0lp
has got five, he'll have to start
helping me get some"
And the very next morning
Hickle came back glowing. He had
got his first plane. Yes, Troup
was with him, but Hickle got it
all by himself, without any help.
1 asked Hickle how it felt, and
he said that he was so anxious
to get him that he almost ran
into the pieces when the Jap turn
ed over in the air and exploded.
Some other of my friends among
the pilots
Lieut.. Pleas Greenlee, of Shelby
vile, Ind. He's the executive Of
ficer of the fighter squadron, He's
rather short, pleasant-faced, sucks
at pipe and always wears house
slippers around the ship. He has
one Jap plane to his credit.
Before 1 knew his first name
or where he was from, asked
him if he was any relation to
Pleas Greenlee, prominent Hoo
sier whom I'd met several times
in Indiana.
"Yes," said the fighter pilot,
'"he's my father!"

scoreboard, and checks each
one off as he finishes the letter.
Lieut.. Howard Skidmore, an
other torpedo bomber pilot, is
from Villa Grave, Ill.
When he told me that I said,
''Why, that's where my mother
was born" And then I got to
thinking no, she was born at
Carmargo, few miles south. And
now I'm not sure.
At any rate Lieutenant Skid
more has lots of relatives around
my hometown of Dana, Ind. land
has been over there lots Of times
to see them.
Lieutenant skidmore had a
unique experience on this trip.
Last fall he was sitting in his
plane with the engine running,
just ready to start his takeoff.
And at that moment a Jap
bomb hit the deck, less than a
dozen feet in front of Skidmore's
plane. 1t killed several men and
tore a big hole in the deck.
Yet Skidmore wasn't scratched,
and the close explosion didn't even
deafen him or give him head
acne. Maybe that's the result Of
coming from a good hometown.

Besancon, France, last September
7 when the Germans launched a
heavy attack.
The four were damned into a
small courtyard. A low wall pro-
tected them against machinegun
fire but the Germans worked their
way to within 10 yards of them and
began hurting grenades. Chicken
wire atop the wall caught the mis-
siles and they exploded outside
the courtyard.
Finally, however, the Germans
got one over the wire. It hit the
cement floor, T-4 Cyril F. McColl
of Pittsburgh, one of Maxwell S
companies, recalled:
II was sure we were goners.
The hand grenade came over in a
high lob and landed right in the
middle of us. During that split
second while we were lying there
sweating, Maxwell jumped from
his position at the wall and landed
on top of the grenade. He had no
more than covered it when it ex-
ploded, and by some stroke 'ot
luck he wasn't killed.
Maxwell previously had won the
Silver Star for gallantry and the
Purple Heart on January 30, 1914,
