NEW PRESIDENT, A. l. AUXILIARY,
 HAS EXPERIENCE

CHARLOTTE, N. C.--Mrs. Walter G. Craven, newly elected national president of the American Legion Auxiliary, brings to her new post wealth of experience in legion work.
 Unopposed choice for president of the Auxiliary at its convention in Chicago, Mrs. Craven can look back over 25 years o. region servlce-- five of those years in the national hierarchy of the Auxiliary.
 Modest but not retiring, she cred it's her selection to lead the Aux lliary's 100000 members to hard work" And she should know. She has been hard at it now for longer than she wants folks to know.
 At the time of Pearl Harbor Mrs. Craven was North Carolina department president of the Aux Hilary When she completed her term in 1942, she became area child welfare chairman, responsible for l3 states and Panama. In addition she served as national executive committeewoman
 Her next step up Tn the Aux Hilary was the vice-presidency of the Southern division, a position she held as assistant North Caro- lima director of Civilian Defense.
 After that came her appointment as national child welfare chair man. That is really my field Mrs. Craven says of this Auxiliary responsibility. With experience as executive secretary of the Mecklen- burg County chapter of the Ameri- can Red Cross, child welfare work was right down her alley. The national child welfare post came at the American Legion Aux Hilary convention in the fall of 1944. Tn the ensuing months she travelled the length and breadth of the continent, attending on enc tour conferences in San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans, Philadel- phia and Boston.
 Taller than average, slim and dark haired, the new Auxiliary president observes;
 T have found time to work in lot of things. But the American Legion Auxiliary and roses have been my main occupation. My roses, since the war, have been ne- glected."
 Considering. that the national Auxiliary presidency calls for con- siderable travel-with departments in all AS states, Panama, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii-there is chance Mrs. Craven's roses will be neglected still further

Alexandria Played
The Principal Part


The great observance of the day In
this section was, however, ordinarily left
to Alexandria.
Often the soldier boys of Washington
and Georgetown participated in the
Alexandria exercises.
There were from time to time other
than military parades in honor of the
day. The Vine Lyceum, the Union De-
batting Society and other literary asso-
Citations, whose custom it was to hold
open meetings in the day or evening
listen to readings from Washington's
Farewell Address and an Grafton on the
life, character and services of the Chief,
interspersing the proceedings with pat
riotic songs-much the same program in
which some of our oldest inhabitants
now take part. and perhaps few of
the latter may have been the actors in
such celebrations.
A celebration of particular note took
place here on February %, 1860 when
Washington Circle, was unveiled Every
body was up bright and early in antici-
patton Of seeing the local and visiting
military companies parade. At o'clock
the Charles County Mounted volun-
teers, Capt. Cox, arrived on the steamer
Port Tobacco, and were received by
Capt. Peck and the Presidents Mounted
Guard and escorted to the National
Hotel, where quarters were provided
for them as guests of the Presidents
Mounted Guard. In all, they numbered
49 men, and after collation. at the
National they were taken to the armory
and provided with sabers, and from here
to Cooks Hall, Eighth street, where
they drilled until 1890.
The Baltimore Law Grays came over
on February 81 to be here the following
day for the exercises. The Reed Rifles
OF Chestertown, Md, commander by E.
T. Perkins, captain; Simeon Wickes,
first lieutenant; John Boardley, second
lieutenant, sand John Dwyer, third
lieutenant, also came here and partici-
pated, and the local contingent that
took part included the Washington
Light Infantry, the National Rifles and
the Potomac Light Infantry.
The city was in gala attire for the
occasion. Many of the houses on the
Avenue displayed the colors and were
otherwise decorated, and suspended
across this historic thoroughfare be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets was a
large banner inscribed:
Welcome! Welcome! Virginia and
Maryland Military; New York Seventh
Regiment. all hail to our District Mill

Is returned to their homes, also sur
vivors OF Japanese prisons. .
These statistics, say the oricials, are
indicative of the minute number who
ever return from the missing.
Theirs was bizarre story of life
among the dead. At least two returned
after having been declared presumptive-
ly dead to find their wives had married
again. In both instances the wives
returned to their soldier husbands after
court proceedings. A few wives mar
rled before their husbands had been
declared legally dead, and lived in
bigamous state until their missing hus-
bands were found.
Bizarre Stories of Life
Among the Dead
War Department records have several
dozen cases in which wives of missing
Servicemen asked that findings of death
be hurried so that they could marry
again.
But in these cases, the impatient
wives were firmly rejected. For the
power to declare missing serviceman
dead, and the time interval, is firmly
fixed by law.
Both the War and Navy Departments
were authorized by Congress in July,
1914, to declare its personnel dead IL
months after having been reported
missing, unless evidence indicated
possibility they were alive Civil courts
have the power to declare any missing
person dead after seven years.
Omcial instructions sent to theater
commanders by the War Department
declared that ANY person will be re-
ported dead when there is reasonably
conclusive evidence of death or where
here are circumstances that lead to
10 other logical conclusion"
Reports on missing persons turned in
by others who were engaged in battle at
the time generally are considered un-
reliable, while reports from prisoner of
war camps on deaths within the camp
are considered reliable.
The War Department found this rule
of-thumb decision the hard way.
During an air battle in Burma in the
fall OF l943, flight commander reported
he had seen one of his bombers shot
down. -Four Of the crew, he said, were
seen to bail out. But. he reported, the
japanese strafed one chute and he saw
the man hit. Another chute failed to
open, one burst into flames and the
fourth crewman, he declared, was seen
to land in the ocean mile from shore.
The commander doubted that any sur
ViVed. After year. all were declared
dead by the War Department which
based its judgment on the commanders
reports.
But when the British overran Rangoon
in l945. they found the four airmen IN
a Japanese prison camp They also
found seven other airmen who had been
declared dead.

The barter system is a direct result CT
the shortage of grain on the markef
Whether there is real shortage is !;
subject of controversy. Many grain
dealers and users claim there is enough
in country elevators and on farms but
that it can't be brought to market be-
cause there aren't enough railroad cars.
Here's the way the system works:

breakfast food-needS five carloads of

son had become insane and the Germans
mad taken him to civilian asylum.
Another search began, and the sur
geon was found. He was brought back
to this country and is now recovering.
For some soldiers the constant fear of
death proved overpowering and few
walked away. Their records showed
only that they were missing.
One soldier, a model of bravery in
Tunisia where he was wounded, disap-
peared shortly after the landings in
Italy in 1943. His parents were frannc.
They telephoned the casualty branch of
the War Department constantly for in
.orma ton.
Last Christmas, an American soldier
was brought to a British hospital in
Italy with a fractured skull He was
healed but authorities suspected some
thing was wrong and he was trailed
when he left the hospital His way led
to cave where a raid produced II Brit
ish and American soldiers-and the
missing man, all of them AWOL for a
year or more.
There was another instance recorded
of soldier for whom the war became
more than he could endure He had no
parents. but he had named sister in
New York as his next of kin.
A year after he. had been reported
missing, he was formally declared dead
and his insurance payments were begun.
A few months ago, the sister wrote to
the War Department she had received a
letter from chaplain asking for her
orothers baptismal certificate; that her
orother wanted to marry French girl
The bewildered sister asked the War
Department if there had been mistake
simultaneously with the arrival of her
letter. the War Department received
notification that the soldier had given
himself up to Amerisan authorities and
had declared himself deserter.

Not Sanctioned by OPA
But Not Illegal

Some of the big operators in the grain
business won't touch the barter system
because it hasn't been, sanctioned by
OPA. But neither has OPA declared it
Illegal"
I'D rather have higher OPA Offices
decide that question" says Ed Moran,
acting Omaha OPA district director.
IT'S pretty close one, believe"
Charles H. Wright, president of the
Omaha Grain Exchange, declared the
bartering is underway and said he
thought at first that it had OPA sane
ton.
Most grain dealers willing to talk
about it are not willing to be identified
but they have strong opinions about
the Shortage"
One such dealer said:
I'VE believe there's enough wheat In
the country elevators and on the farms.
But the elevators can't send their wheat
here because they have no railroad
cars. And the farmer can't move his
grain to the elevators because there's
no room there. There would be a vast
change for the better if we had more
railroad cars
The railroad tieup results in lot of
grain moving by truck and "grain NOV
ing by truck sometimes finds unusual
channels" he said. He added there are
reports of some of it moving across
State lines into areas where OPA per-
mits higher price.
Relief needs overseas, new industrial
uses, and the fact that unusual numbers
Of livestock are on feed account for
the grain shortage after last years
bumper crops.
As long as the shortage lasts-and
unless oPA stops the practice-the
bartering probably will continue.

When February 22 Was
Made Legal Holiday

Dut Az WdS HoI ultA 1913 IlldC IOn-
gress made February % legal holiday
in the District of Columbia, and even
then it was not to begin until the fol-
lowing year, 1880.
But this deriliction, for the time be-
ing. did not discourage the residents of
this city from celebrating this impor-
tant event, which has become an annual
custom, even if they had to take their
own time to do so, and the annual Gus
tom which began at least century ago,
will again be repeated this coming Fri
day.
Indeed, from the 40's to 1861. We are
told that whatever might be the condi-
tion of the weather, there were birth
night balls sure to take place, and thus
was the birth of the Father of His Coun-
try annually commemorated.
1t was always the intention of the
volunteer military companies to honor
the day by parade followed by a ban
quet or collation., but as the anniversary
occurs in the winter season this program
was often irnpracticable. With at least
one company-the Continentals Of South

New Cars, Nylon Hose Traded
For Grain in New Barter Deals
BY Tim Parker,
Assoeioted Press Stoff Writer

OMAHA, Nebr.-If you have a few
pairs OF nylons or new car, you can
barter them in the grain-starved mid
west for something equally precious-a
carload of wheat or corn.
OF course you pay strictly ceiling price
for the grain. And the fellow who wants
the nylons or automobile pays ceiling
price for them. But you both get what
you want.
