Pfc. Samuel T. Roberts, Rock
vile, recently was awarded the
Silver Star Medal for gallahtry in
action in Italy. He served on the
Fifth Army front with the 337th
Wolverine" Infantry Regiment of
the 85th Cluster" division. After
his neighboring foxholes had been
abandoned during a strong Ger
man counterattack, Roberts con-
tinued to fight even after his po-
sition was rendered virtually un-
tenable. Roberts with his machine
gun laid down such a heavy hail
of fire that the enemy had to with
draw leaving behind many casual
ties. After the counterattack
Roberts killed one enemy soldier
that had infiltrated our lines. This
action enabled his company to hold
its objective and was an inspira-
ton to all his fellow soldiers. His
wife Betty, lives on Rt. /, Rock

but rain and cold weather over

of London. We all head for Lon
don whenever we get a pass. I've
been there many times and have
seen just about everything of in
terest there. Am ready to come
home anytime now but do not
know what the Army's plans are
for me
Hows everything in Laytons-
vile? Are you still working at
Emerson and Orme? Before too

to be able to get one soon after
get out of the Army whenever
that may be.
Well they just came in the hut
and said to get it cleaned up for
inspection tomorrow so will have
to cut this short. We live in

Take it easy and here's hoping
that you are completely well by

BRANCH RI(KEY FORMS
NEGRO BASEBALL LEAGUE;
OPENER MAY a

BROOKLYN, May II (ANP)-
A new Negro baseball league has
been organized by Branch Hickey,
president of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The league, headed by John
Shackleford, Cleveland lawyer,
will be known as the United States
league pending a better name. A
playing schedule for the new circuit
has already been outlined, Hickey
disclosed, and the date for official
opening has been set for May "a
when the Brown Dodgers meet
Philadelphia at Ebbets field. Joe
Hall, Hickey, announced, has been
given the Ebbets field lease for all
Negro games.
The United States league will be
made up OF, the Brooklyn Brown
Dodgers who will play their home
games at Ebbets field; the Pitts
burgh Crawfords (Forbes field; the
Philadelphia Hilldales Harrisburg
field; Detroit Mother City field;
Chicago (Wrigley field) and Toledo
(American Association park.
Hickey attacked the Negro Ma
tional and American leagues as un-
sound, limiting that the two did not
exist as units of organized base
ball.
Hickey made no promise that the
new Negro league would be step
toward the integration of Negro
players into the big leagues. Some
Negro baseball moguls have secret
ly charged that Hickey is merely
trying to evade the FEPC law
against racial discrimination.
Hickey advised owners of the new
league teams not to tamper with
players under contract with the two
Negro league circuits.

send, member of the committee and
president of the United Transport
Service employees. In letter to Miss
Frances Williams, racial relations
adviser for OPA, Townsend wrote
that 'transplanting patterns of ra-
cial identity simply lends support
to the perpetuation in government
of a special emphasis of the Negro,
which means isolating him from the
overall problems of the citizens of
America, and leaving him a ready
target for the forces of reaction"

is learned. The objection was first
voiced by George L. P. Weaver, ad-
ministrative assistant to the CIO
Committee on Discrimination.
"The only justification for use of
separate Negro materials by any
government agency is special, spe-
cific problem" according to Weaver.
"There seems to be little evidence
that will prove that compliance to
OPA regulations in Negro areas is
less than that in white communi-
ties"

his position from Willard S. Town

VICTORY LIGHT

TOP SECRET. When the lights glow
on your Christmas tree this year,
here's thought you can reflect on:
Christmas-tree lights helped save our
Navy from the Jap suicide planes.
The story comes from the top
secret drawer of World War II. This
weapon was 50 important that it was
given priority over the atom bomb.
And its whole mechanism was set in
action by a specially adapted Christ
mas-tree bulb.
The Navy calls this weapon the
radio proximity fuse" The fuse
detonates a shell when it passes with
in 70 feet of the target. Our antiair-
craft gunners didn't have to hit the
Kamikazes, just had to come close"
Basically it is a miniature radio
station that fits in the nose of shell.
As the shell speeds through the air,
the tiny station sends out radio
waves. When it comes within killing
range of plane, the waves are re-
flected back to detonate the shell.
DULL1S-EYE. The modified Christ
mas-tree bulb is packed into the tip
of the shell and filled with acid. The
bulb skaters as the shell is fired,
allows the acid to drip down and acti-
vate the radio station.
The Navy sired the project in
August, 1910. BY June, 1943, every
thing was shipshape except the "am-
poule," the glass bulb. Bulbs tried
were either too thick or too thin.
Finally, someone thought of the
Christmas-tree bulbmakers at Cen

hunters will be interested to know
that they may be able to stake claims
on the moon. They'll have to work
fast, though, because the Department
of the Interior already has number
of requests for land grants on that
heavenly body, and they're not sure
just what to do about it. Apart from
private inquiries, the Department

The Department has also received
an application for hotel site at the
North Pole to accommodate future
airline travellers. Alongside the moon
requests, they consider this practi-
cally routine proposition.

the Pearl Harbor attack, President
Roosevelt said: 1--WE are now in the

You see, the people who are fortunate
enough to like what they do have an edge
in the enthusiasm that generates imagina-
ton, initiative and drive.
Yet many men and women with equal
capabilities never realize them, because
they keep on doing something they do not
enjoy. They lack the daring or the vision
to leave the dull, cramped path for new
one suited to their stride. And in normal
times there is nothing to jar them out
of the rut.
Bur now, for awhile, it is different.
Now millions of us have come to the end

We can, and sometimes we must, choose
