The young woman stood at atten-
ton, her eyes unwavering, for she
too is a Marine.
But Capt. Elizabeth ]. Elrod,
Marine Corps Women's Reserve
must have felt a lot that her
soldierly figure ignored. She stood
before her commandant, Gen. A. "A.
Vandegrift, and received the Ma
tons highest decoration for her late
husband, Maj. Henry T. Elrod. He
died in the epic defense of Wake
Island early in the Pacific war.
The Congressional Medal of Honor
was bestowed at ceremony yeSter-
day afternoon in the Marine Corps
commandments Office in the Arling-
ton Navy building.
Several officers who are present
members of Maj. Elrod's famed
fighter squadron, Marine 211, stood
behind Capt. Elrod as the general
read the citation, his voice a little
gruff, perhaps to hide what he also
felt.
Destroyed Jap CrulSer
Mai. Elrod's deeds at Wake Island
stood out even in fight where
every man was a hero-a hopeless
battle that will be retold as long
as American valor is remembered.
Mai. Elrod was one of II Marine
pilots who flew their planes to the
besieged island. On December 8,
1941, only two days after Pearl Har-
Dor, he few into 20 enemy planes,
shooting down two. He attacked the
japanese warships lying off the
island, destroying heavy cruiser.
Thus he became the first pilot to
sink major warship with small
caliber bombs from a fighter plane.
When his plane finally was dis
abled by enemy fire, he made a land
ing and took command of ground
troops. He organized a defensive
lime on the beach against the Japa-

|nese landing forces. During their
attacks, he repeatedly made trips
through intense fire to provide pro-
lection for unarmed ammunition
carriers who were supplying his
troops.
Finally, as the hordes of Japanese
pressed ashore, Maj. Elrod captured
an enemy automatic weapon. Turn
ing it on the invaders, he continued
to repulse them until he fell
mortally wounded. That was on
December %. He and the other
handful of defenders had fought all
that time.
Enlisted In 1928.
"Those OF us who read Of Wake
Island" Gen. Vandegrift began,
"also heard everywhere Of the heroic
deeds Of this young officer we are
to honor"
Then he read the citation signed
by President Truman. He handed
the widow the medal and the cita-
ton and shook her hand silently.
Maj. Elrod was from Thomasville,
Ga. He attended the University OF
Georgia and Yale and enlisted In
the Marine Corps In 1928. In 1885,
he was commissioned Marine pilot
at the Naval Air Station at Pen
sacola, Fla.

Two Rochester Paper!
Closed by Printers

By the Associofed Press

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. g.
Publication of the city's two daily
papers, both members of the Can
nett chain, was suspended today
because of walkout of mechanical
employees, termed a lockout" by the
union.
The work stoppage threatened to
spread to six Gannett papers in five
other upstate cities, where local
unions have asked the International
Typographical Union, AFL, to sane
ton a strike.
Employees of the Rochester Demo-
crat & Chronicle, a morning news
paper, failed to report for work last
night after members of the Typo
graphical Union, Local Is, voted to
reject management proposals for
settlement of wage negotiations.
Union officials reported the COM
posing room employees voted ITO to 4
in favor of a strike, but explained
they considered the work stoppage
q lockout" because union members
had found management proposals
"unfavorable." The union alleged a
management proposal that the
union members waive future sharing
in company profits was "discrimina-
tion," and declared no other group
had been asked to waive this pay
ment.
The management described union
wage demands as "exorbitant and
out of line with pay in cities OF
comparable size"
The company had offered the
Rochester union members alternate
wage proposals. One would have
given the composing room employees
$40 weekly for day work and $75 for
night work with 3715-hour week.
The second proposal offered the
union $74 for day and $79 for night
work with the provision that men,
bers would waive future sharing in
company profits.
At present the Typographical en-
ployes receive $58 weekly for day
work and $63 on the night shift.
The union asked $50 for day work
and $88 for nights in its final pro-
posal submitted this week. Origi-
nally the mechanical employees
sought minimum of 500 weekly.

ouitoes. bugs and ants serve as space
sprays and kill instantly" stated Mr..
Nussbaum. During the war this type
of insecticide contained so little of
the effective agent, pyrethrum, that
you practically had to drown the
insect to destroy it. DOT kills lar
ger variety of insects, and it can
be applied to any surface, nom a
screened door to cow. 1t is avail
able in S percent-10 percent oil
solutions such as white kerosene, in
10 percent dry mixtures for busting,
as wettable powders which can be
diluted with water, as concentrates
of 20 percent - 40 percent strength
in solvent which can be diluted
with water to make a milky solu-
ton, and in water soluble paints. 1t
is important to remember in the use
of DOT that the aim is to coat walls,
shelving, doors, and other resting
places of insects. To do this, the
LIQUID must be brushed on or appli-
ed as coarse wet spray to the sur
face"
Although DOT is not serious poi
son to man, Mr.. Nussbaum eau
toned people to cover food before
spraying, to open windows during
spraying, to be sure that the oil
solution does not remain on hands
or clothing, and not to use an oil
solution on the skin or coat of ami
mails. Infested animals, with the ex-
ception of cats, can be treated with
the busting powder
when wisely and properly used"
Mr.. Nussbaum stated, "DDT is an
effective weapon not only in COM
batting annoying insects but also in
destroying disease-carrying insects
such as malaria mosquitoes, typhus
rat fleas, typhus human body lice,
and germ-carrying flies"
