BAR. There's story making the rounds of

PIED PIPER. We thought you'd enjoy the
chronicle of Will Joseph who, like thou
sands of other Poles. had to flee from the
Nazis. But even after he got to America,
through the Refugee Relief Trustees. he
wanted to 60 back = to work, to play his
harmonica. to raise family.
It wasn't long before Will was a staff
sergeant in the Tank Corps of the United
States Army. And it wasn't long before he
was back on European soil, waiting for the
invasion of France. On D Day, plus four.
Will got decoration:
Leaving his outfit, he ran across Nor
mandy field and popped into Signal Corps
foxhole, equipped with loudspeaker. Sit
ting in his one-man broadcasting studio, he
pulled out his harmonica, wiped it on his
field jacket. Then he began to play Bright
tunes. Sweet. sentimental tunes of the
Rhineland of the old happy days. Lula
bies. And the Nazis heard the music and,
like the rats of Hamelin. they were drawn
out of their holes They started toward the
American lines - not a few, but great num-
bers of them. And as they came they sang
the Yanks' favorite German song:
"KAMERADr'
CODE 1t is good to know that the prime
requisite Of good Navy man - or woman
- is just plain integrity. The code goes
back to John Paul Jones. We like the way
he said it in his article on the qualities
Of Navy personnel. The incest sense OF
personal honor" is the Admiral's description
of the quality he thought most important
of all.
ALA CARTE. We get this from Georgian
friend Of ours. It's about the slow-moving,
slow-talking CT in France who went into
restaurant. Not knowing French. he had
trouble ordering. 50 finally and desperately,
he pointed at random to an item on the
menu. The waiter brought it, the boy ate it,
liked it so much he pointed to it again. After
the third repeat order, the head waiter came
over:
Il see you like snails. m sieu.''
"Snails! Is that what I'm eatin'?"
"Oui, m sieu. Where are you from?"
Georgia"
Don't you have snails in Georgia."
Yes. sub - we sure do. But the trouble
is we CANT catch 'em."

Lexington Mon In
Okinuwo Invasion

Aboard the Battleship USS New
York in the Pacific-Richard Y. Nc
Donald, fireman, second class, whose
wife lives at Lexington, Miss, came
through the battle for Okinawa a.
board this ~battleship without a
scratch, helping fire more than five
million pounds of shells at enemy
targets. This tonnage exceeds that
fired by all ships combined during
the invasion bombardments of Tara
wa or Maxim, Roi-Namur or Eniwe-
tok.
One of the grand old ladies of the
fleet, the New York celebrated her
31st birthday during the battle. The
only capital ship to stay on the job
without relief, she kept her 14-inch
and 5-inch guns firing salvos at is
land targets steadily.
The men spent the equivalent Of
two solid weeks at their air defense
stations during more than 200 air
raid alerts. One Jap plane made an
unsuccessful suicide run through a
hail Of anti-aircraft fire, but crashed
harmlessly into the sea. Not one Jap
bomb, torpedo or artillery shell
found its mark on the ship, although
all were tried. Credit for much Of
the effectiveness Of the ships firing
goes to the ships spotting planes
which flew an estimated $4,000 miles
on missions over the island, search
ing out targets and spotting salvos.
The history of the New York dates
from her commissioning on April is,
1914 and spans two world wars. In
World War I she served as the flag.
ship of a battleship squadron sent to
reinforce the British Grand Fleet in
the North Sea in the fall of 1917,
and she remained there until the
German fleet surrendered.
During the present war she parti-
cipated in the invasion of North
Africa, saw convoy duty in the At
lantic, and took part in the Two
Jima campaign.

Wilmington On FEPC

A general conception of the dangers of the FEPC
is becoming more apparent in the South and Throughout
the whole country as facts concerning it are made KNOWN
One periodical speaks of the FEPC as 1.-The most
iniquitous piece of anti-Southern legislation since the Re-
construction. A clearer understanding of this legislation
may be cleaned from this analysis made by our Congress-
man, Hon. Will M. Wilmington, last week. Mr.. Whiting
ton, speaking of the FEPC said:
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1945-07-19

sumed to be guilty. The agent is
judge, prosecutor, and jury.
Under Section Is any person who
willfully r~esists, prevents, impedes.
or interferes with any member Of
the Commission or any of its ref
erees, agents, or agencies, shall be
punished by a fine of not more than
$4,000 or by Imprisonment Of not
more than a year, Of both.
No Jury Trial
The citizen can thus be imprison-
ed without q jury trial. How many
people who advocate the passage Of
the bill to promote fair employment
practice know that if an agent be-
lieves that the employer has inter-
fered with his star chamber investi-
gators, without probable cause, the
citizen can be fined and imprisoned
Back Pdy And Contempt
Under the terms of the bill II a
person applies for employment and
is not employed and his complaint is
upheld by the Commission, the Com
mission can order the employer to
pay back pay for services never
rendered. Under the investigatory
powers in Section 8 the Commission
can apply for an order in the district
Federal court. If the order is dis
obeyed the citizen can be punished
for contempt. The encroachment up
on fundamental rights will bring
down upon the proposed legislation
the wrath of an aroused America.
present Employees
Section Ct of the bill Is unprece-
dented. It provides that all the en-
ployees of the present Committee
shall be transferred to and become
employees of the Commission that
would be created. All of the present
employees, regardless of their quail
fications, regardless of their creeds
regardless of their fitness, would be
transferred into the permanent Com
mission.
Veterons
Under the laws passed by Con-
gress veterans are entitled to pref
erence in employment. There is no
exemption for veterans employment
in the pending bill. Nothing is said
about preferences to veterans. Pref
erence to veterans would be repeal
ed by implication.
When the veterans find out that
the preferences accorded to them
are destroyed by the terms of the
bill there will be a rude awakening
for those who support it.
Free EntsRrriss
The bill Is applicable to all en-
ployers, including merchants and
farmers, with six or more employ
ees. It strikes a fatal blow at private
enterprise. A mans sutcess or fail
ure in business and in farming de-
ponds upon his employees, upon his
ability to select dependable, loyal,
and industrious employees to assist
him in the operation of his business
or enterprise. Under the terms of the
bill, the Commission could say,
"You must hire this man, you must
fire that mar you must promote the
other man."
Under the bill RECOMMENDATION
would obtain. Whether intended or
not, the bill would revolutionize free
enterprise and establish the super
vision by the state of all business
and of all agriculture.
Unenforcsuble
A moments reflection will con-
vince a thoughtful citizen that the
bill is unenforceable. How can the
Commission of five in Washington
regulate, investigate, and provide
employees for all of the employers
in the 48 states of the Union? It
would be the superduper bureauc-
racy of the age.

SNOWFALLS LIMIT TANK PATROL TRIPS

ROMT, an. 22.-(AP)-SnoW- falls on the already snowbound mountain positions have limited even the patrol activity along the Italian front on the first an- niversary of he historic landing at Anzio.
 In the Adriatic sector the en- emy raiding party penetrated two and one-half miles into the AL lied lines near northern Alphon- so, after a heavy artillery bar rage. However, they were thrown back to their original positions by the Eight Army troops.
 Farther, in the southwest, the patrols are active on both sides of the Senior river to which the Germans are clinging as de- fense line.
 The Eighth Army sector of al- lied headquarters said that the enemy patrol action has been speeded up on the American front in the south and southeast of Bologna.

TANKS GAIN MOMENTUM IN PHILIPPINES
Bv JAMES HUTCHINSON

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS ON LUZON IS- LAND, Jan. 22.-(AP)-Tarlac was smouldering from Japanese torches when it was captured yesterday with it's two adjacent aird1omes, as the American steam-rollers gained momentum in it's drive toward Manila, which is now only 65 air miles away.
 Headquarters reported the two converging Yank columns have seized the important rail high way to the city, while other U. s. infantry have captured the nearby road towns of Papaz and Victoria.
 To the east the Americans main Manila highway on the drove another wedge into the long-SlOWed left flank, ana cross ed the winding Agno river at Santa Maria. They have also cap- tured Rosales On the east-west road. To the south they have pushed eight miles toward the hills to San Leon, heading for another highway which leads to Manila via a circuitous foothill route.
 The Japanese have tried an- other night counter-attock at Moncaca, which is some 20 miles north of Tarlac, but Gen. Mac Arthur reported the enemy was repulsed bloodily.
