PACIFIC:
Cities Burn

One by one, Japan's great indus
trial centers are being RACED by huge
fleets of Flying Superfortresses, with
the firing Of Osaka and Yokohama
cutting further into the enemy's po-
t~entia, to produce weapons needed
for the expanding Pacific front.
Considered the Orient's greatest
industrial center, Osaka smouldered
after heavy Super-Fort strikes at
its iron, steel, copper, cotton, hemp
and wire plants.
Japan's second biggest port, Yoko-
hama was left in flames by hundreds
of BIOS, with strong winds helping
to spread the destruction block by
block. Approximately $4,000 houses
were said to have been wiped out
after the first assault. leaving 250, 900
homeless, and communication and
transportation lines disrupted.

clared: eff you lay them down

With BIOS raising havoc with Jap
anese industrial centers, the enemy
continued to chiefly center his aerial
opposition against American naval
vessels in the Ryukyus, with Kami-
kaze (suicide) pilots continuing to
score hits on light units. Indicative
Of the ferocity of the Japanese at
tacks, the navy reported the great

On land, U. S. forces herded the
enemy onto the southern corner of

NEAR EAST:
Oil Oasis

Behind all the trouble in the Near
East lies the specter of oil-the great
natural resource indispensable to a
modern machine economy.
While fighting 1ared in Syria. the
French charged that what appeared
to be a mixup between them and
the natives really was an incident
cooked up by British agents to jeop-
ardize the French pipeline carrying
oil across the embattled country
from the Mosul fields in Iraq.
At the same time, French COM
mentators sharply pointed out that
any Arab uprising in Syria could
very well lead to similar disturb
ances throughout the whole Arabic
bloc Of states, where both Britain
and the U. S. have substantial oil
concessions.
Oddly located nearby the Suez ca
nal, providing Britain with a con-
venient gateway to her oriental en-
pire, the Arabic states are said to
possess oil deposits the equal of
those in the U. S., with the English
holding 40 per cent of all conces-
sions in the area and America 60
per cent.
u. S. interest in the near east
ern oil situation was pointed up
by the governments proposal to
erect a $50, 0OO, 900 pipeline
across Arabia and join in a part
nership with the Arabian-Amer-
lean Oil company and Gulf Ex-
plOratiOn company for its opera
ton. Shelved in the face of Bit
ter opposition, the plan called for
the private companies creation
of a billion barrel petroleum
pool for the army and navy. and
repayment for the pipeline over
a 25-year period.
Oil also prominently figures in re-
lations between the U. S. and Britain
and Russia, what with the Arabic
states situated virtually at the Reds
back door and Moscow having al
ready put in a bid for development
of the Persian fields, monopolized by
the English.

WAR DEPARTMENT KILLS
THOUGHT OF EARLY BOUT
FOR JOE LOUIS

WASHINGTON, May IT, Any
hope of an early championship bout
with Joe Louis defending his title
were cooled off today by the War
Department. There is no likelihood
Of Louis or Billy Conn, erstwhile
challenger, or any other specialist
being discharged from the army
soon.
Louis has been in for a long
time but has no children and no
combat experience, therefore he
would have hard time meeting
point requirements. Louis, who had
appeared in many exhibitions in the
United States and abroad at the
battle fronts, has recently been as
signed to another morale unit head
ing for Alaska. 1t is not likely that
Louis will be allowed to defend his
title while in the service of his
country.

WILLARD SCHOOL Chill LDREN
give CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM

One of the finest program of the
year was the program on Citizen
ship given by the pupils of Willard
School under the supervision of Mrs.
Rhoza Walker Bullock, Sixth Grade
Teacher. Based upon the general
theme Of the Introductory speaker,
Elmina Harrington,
eff the people Of the world were
more Citizenship conscious our
beach-heads would not be running
with blood and prison camps, hor-
rible with death. If everyone in the
world fulfilled his task as a good
citizen we would be planning Future
Peace and Not Future War, unan-
imously."
The program was purely patrl-
otic in contents and stressed the
ideals and aims of American Citi-
zen.
A playlet, especially for the little
folk in the grades one to four called
Gall Out For Defense" emphasized
what activities the very little chill
dren as good citizens for Citizen
ship, and Victory.
Two sixth Grade Choral Numbers
entitled, "Allegiance," and "Wheels
of Transportation" somewhat patri-
otic historical in content illustrat-
ed the growth of America.
A beautiful dedication to Mr..
Roosevelt entitled, "No Tears
written by Mrs. Bullock and spoken
softly by two girls to piano accom-
paniment summarized the program
and it's tribute to citizenship. The
program aptly ended,
"No Tears, no Fear, Faith, Fellow
ship and Trust
This Citizen will always live, Among
Us.
The entire speaking numbers were
interspersed with selections by the
Willard School Glee Club, under the
direction of Miss Florence Williams
and Mr.. George Tanner.
The climax of the musical selec-
tions was the revealing Of Miss
Liberty, Henrietta Clay, Grade
Four, draped in Red, White, and
Blue as the Glee Club Chorus sang
a medley of patriotic songs.

recent times Chicago has progressed
materially in the elimination of pre-

of unity without regard to race,
creed or color which has not been

sharply defined as we build for
peace following complete victory
over fascism abroad. With this pur-
pose in mind this series of confer
ences will be held"

tional significance of the Home
Front Unity conferences, Mr.. En-
bree said: 'It should be matter of
pride to every citizen of Chicago
that our city is taking such a lead
ing position in developing better
human and group relations. We hope
this conference will stimulate an
awareness and an appreciation of
our mutual responsibilities in
achieving greater harmony between
all groups and all peoples in our
city,"
Established in July, 1943, the
Mayors Committee on Race Rela-
tions was the first municipal COM
mittee of it's kind in the nation. Its
members are drawn from represent
ative groups in the city-from labor
industry, and the professions
