STORY RECOUNTED OF
VOGEL'S / DAYS ON
RUBBER RAFT, PACIFIC

Aboard an Escort Carrier in the
Pacific.-Eleven days seem like II
years when they are spent in a
rubber raft between Two Jima and
Saipan, according to George H. Vo-
gel, 10, aviation ordnanceman, third
class, USNR, whose parents live at
POI Woodland avenue, Laurel.
Vogel was flying with Ems.
Charles W. Bunch, USNR, in a tor
pedo-bomber as a gunner during a
raid on Two lima when the "Aven-
ger" encountered a storm which
forced it down at sea. Vogel, En-
sign Bunch, and the radioman es-
capped from the sinking plane and
boarded the emergency raft.
Vogel suffered from aching joints
as well as lack of food and shortage
of drinking water and Ensign
Bunch's throat was swollen. The
suffered no extraordinary
hardships but on the morning they
were rescued he dived overheard to
save one of the paddles and his
couldn't get him back to
the raft. He was wearing a life
but whether he has been
rescued as yet is not known.
Vogel attributes his life to En-
Bunch's quick thinking on the
third day out. 1t was customary to
swim a few minutes every day to
the cramps gained from the
condition of the raft. The
young gunner, not a good swimmer,
far away from the raft.
Bunch dived overheard and
owed Vogel back.
About 8 a. m. of the eleventh
lay they sighted a convoy bound
or Saipan. This was four hours
lfter the raft had capsized and the
'adioman had been lost trying to
'egain the paddle. Vogel grabbed
he yellow sail cloth and signaled
o the nearest ship, a patrol craft,
which took them aboard and event
ALLY returned them to this ship.
Vogel again is flying as Ensign
gunner over Okinawa.
"This time," said Vogel, "if we
70 down again, we are going to
nina. Ensign Bunch and have
lways wanted to see China"

JAP BOMBS IN THE u. S.

The War Department has finally re-
leased the news that the japanese have at
tempted to do some damage in the United
States by using free balloons, carrying
small bombs from the Pacific into the west
ern states.
The details are not released but news
paper men have known for some months
that balloons were being used by the Jap
anese. SO far as we know no newspaper
has printed facts which the government
thought might aid the Japs in the effort to
accomplish something and the fact that no
property damage is acknowledged.
Where the Japs release their bombs is
not yet disclosed but the War Department
requests that the public make no mention
of the landing of any balloon because such
information might help the japanese in the
timing and release of other bombs.

rHE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE

Not al. but most. of the newspaper
aud radio commentators on the proceed

seems o. a. q strange attitude. Whenever.
an any point. there is disagreement be-
taeen Russia and the United States. or be-
tween Britain and Belgium. they appear to
thlnk the thunder of doom has begun to
sol and We might as well give up.
Vet this j. country where the one
thinR you can be sure of when there is
meeting Of q City Council or a State Legis-
iature or the National Congress, is that
somebody Is going to disagree with some
body else. and disagree good. You would
suppose that our journalists and radio pun
diis would have learned by now that
chronic disagreements and violent argu-
memts are essential ingredients of the dem
osratic process.
For many years they have been re-
porting clashes of interests and personali-
ties and sections of the country in the Capt.
81 AZ Washington without resorting to dire
and dismal hints that the Farm Bloc may
seeede from the Union next Tuesday, or
that poor little Vermont had better start
getting ready tor war with mighty Penn
sylyamia.
Reading or hearing their comments
and analysis YOU might think they expect
81 the San Francisco Conference to demon
strate that all nations and all peoples feel
exactly the same way about everything on
earth. II they did. no conference would
have been necessary. BY all means let the
disagreements be reported and discussed,

MORE GOODS, LESS COST, MORE JOBS

In order that business may thrive,
favorable government attitude toward it
must prevail. Our intricate economy can be
thrown out of gear when industry is sub
tect To harassing restrictions and when
profits. the handspring of employment, are
under constant attack
Policies of organized labor should
work for greater productivity. AS matter
of self interest. labor organizations should
shun rules which impose limitations upon
output.
Management is the initiator and Job
maker under a system of private enterprise
It's chief economic objective should be more
goods for more people at less cost.

BE A GREAT NATIONAL
ASSET OUR SURPLUS
SHIPS SHOULD

Nearly 100000 tons of Amer
lean shipping have been lost
since the war began in Europe
in 1889 While this represents
more than half of our pre-war
merchant fleet, Vice-Admiral
Emory S. Land calls attention to
the construction in American
shipyards of approximately &C.,
100000 lightweight tons.
The Chairman of the U. S.
Maritime Commission estimates
that the nation now has total
shipping facilities of more than
60,OO0,0O0 tons and faces the
vital question involved in the
disposition of this huge merch-
ant fleet when our warfare ends.
Admisal Land proposes that
100000 tons be operated, that
100000 tons be assigned to mill
tar service, that 100000 tons be
scrarped as obsolete, that 49,
100000 tons be sold to foreign
shipping lines and that a nation
al defense reserve" of 81 100000
tons be placed in sanctuary by
statute.
Breaking down the proposal
the Admiral discusses the alloca-
ton of the 100000 tons which
he thinks should be operated. He

speak to YOU" She was agitated.
Even her grey crepe dress fiut-
tered.
Cynthia groaned silently. Now
it was coming. But she. followed
Maud into the breakfast room
without a struggle. This was
Fred'S sister, thin, grey woman
who had been a mothe- to him
as he had explained dozens OF
times. Funny how far away Fred
had become. er
But there was no scene.

Cynthia choked down a laugh.
Maud hadn't a penny of her own
and had never earned one. She
wouldn't take money for running
the house and taking care of the
children but she had everything
a salary would buy and all the
perquisiteS of household run
the way she wanted it.
The garden house was a
charming three room apartment
often rented for a pleasant sum
to the omniscient tourist and
more than once furnishing the
margin that helped Cynthia out
of a hole. Now Maud would live
in it and the upkeep would swell
the other bills. But she only
turned away submissively.
"You must do as you think best,

The thin, cool voice held her
back. There is more, Cynthia. I
don't mean-what you have done.
