Apparently Scheel suffered no

We could not see through the soup, but I'm sure we must have laid some bombs in the main street" {. 1 Suporfort fliers could not see the results of the carrierbased plane attack, but Superfort crews gen. erally recounted they met no Japa- nese fighters and anti-aircraft fire was light above the cloud layer.

The Washington Merry. Go Round.
By DREW PEARSON &R Lt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active servics with the Army

WASHINGTON --eRootin' tootin' John Rankin from Mississippi has introduced an interesting little resolution to drain away a small segment of the taxpayers money. It is to pay salary to draft deferred Robert Stripling, Clerk of the old Dies Committee, during a period when he was supposed to have been in the Army and at a time when the Dies Committee had ceased to exist.
 This climaxes long series of draft deferments for the young man who did so much flag waving on Capitol Hill about un-American activities. e 4
 For some time, Stripling was de- ferred by his Alexandria, Virginia, draft board as an essential worker Then last August the draft board decided he was, not so essential after all, and put him in IA. In October, however, he was deferred again. Others around him, such as the 36-year-old nephew of Gen. Macarthur, also living in Alexan- dria, together with the 32-year- old City Manager of Alexandria, were drafted. But 3l : year old Stripling was deferred.
 Finally on December Il, he was slated to report to the Army at 7 a. m., but once again he was given more time. This time the Virginia draft board refused to defer him, but Gen. Hershey's Se- lective Service in Washington went over it's head, at the request of wire-pulling Congressmen, and gave Stripling until January 4.
 Came January 4, and the young Dies Committee flag-waver got his fourth deferment. This time Con- gressman May of Kentucky went

 Missiles Use

ABOARD ADMIRAL TURNER'S PRECAUTIONARY FORGE FLAG SHIP, Feb. 26-The Japanese on Two Jima are using for the first time a new weapon. described as being a l,000-pound rocket mortar, in their desperate fight for that island.
 This is confirmed by American gunnery experts who examined the missiles which exploded on Two Jima's southeast beach where Ma rines landed four days ago. The shell is described as having g nose fuse, end rocket mortar launching platforms are probably required for these shells. They were probably fired from the rough terrain to the north of the island, which offers excellent cover. The appearance ,of this new weapon emphasized the fact that Two Jima's defenses were first rate.

went peacefully home Aug. 2, 1914.
God called him home. 1t was His will.
But in our hearts we love him still.

mitted to enter.
"A guide gave US all the details.
1t is really a beautiful structure.
All persons entering mosque must
remove their shoes. In addition to
that mosque we went thru the fa-
nous Blue Mosque also. Most of its
beautiful decorations were stolen by
Napoleon when he invaded Egypt.
"Next we were taken by the Kings
palace, and thru the old part of the
city. These trips really are educa-
tional and plenty cheap, 20 cents for
each tour.
Last Thursday l visited the
Sphinx and pyramids. 1t sure was
an interesting trip. They are about
20 miles from here and we engaged
a guide who gave us the background.
One can never appreciate their size
and the work required to build them
until they are are seen. We went in
side the largest pyramids and saw
the tomb of Cheops (Kufer) and his
wife. On our way there we crossed
the river Nile.

The Cooper Tire Co, Findlay, has
such great demand from the civil
ian trade and truck manufacturers
throughout the country that the cut
backs it has received from the Gov
ernment on war orders will not cur
tail their production in any way
whatsoever. On the other hand, The
Cooper Corporation is just complet-
ing new building, 100 feet by $40
feet, and are now receiving addition
al equipment for expanding their
tire and tube production.
AS a result of this expansion, in
stead of laying off any men, more
men are urgently needed to manu-
facture an increased quantity of tires
and tubes and other rubber products.
1t is stated that more than $50 men
will be needed between now and
October 1st by which time the new
machinery should be installed and
ready for operation. More men are
needed right now, and this affords
immediate employment for returning
veterans or other men who may have
been laid off from other war indus
tries.
1t is expected that tires and tubes
will continue to be made from syn
thetic rubber for long time in the
future. 1t probably will take at
least two years for the full produc-
tion of rubber to be received from
the Dutch East Indies. Undoubtedly
the first rubber from these Countries
will be received with 80 DAYS, and
each month the amount will be in
creased until full production is OBJ
tanned in two years time.
1t is expected that this country
will continue production of synthetic
rubber and that each manufacturer
will use certain percentage of syn
thetic rubber in conjunction with new
natural tree rubber.
