The vessel was warped to the
docks 1t the former Coast Guard
station after a relatively diff
cult but successful navigation of
the Pascagoula river channel. The
huge vessel, carrying no ballast
and drawing only nine feet, rode
high out of the water and was
pushed by a cross wind of about
fifteen miles an hour from the

dock.
There she was met by Com

Brazilian Shipping board here, and
by other community officials.

The vessel arrived with only
a small standby crew composed
mostly Of American seamen. The
first Brazilian crews, who are to
live aboard the ship while await

Midget Radios

RY USING silver and carbon
links" on a tiny silver of cera-
mic plate, scientists have developed
a radio circuit that makes practical
radio set with reception equal
to present-day receivers twenty
times as large. The suggestion is
made that the development will
make possible miniature radars to
detect distractions ahead for the
blind.
The process was developed by
DR.. Cledo Brunetti and Harry Dia-
mond, of the Bureau of Standards,
and Col. C. H. N. Roberts, of the
Army Ordnance Department. They
call the printed circuit quicker and
more uniform than hand-wired lay
outs, increasing sturdiness and re-
ducing cost. The sink" is applied
to the plate by means of stencil.
We have no idea whether the
miniature sets will be commercially
manufactured, or not. Not every
discovery is promptly Incorporated

We are frank TO admit that, from
the point of view of the owner of

MANY AMERICANS are familiar

cameras that photograph a strip,
containing about sixty square
miles. Experts take these pictures,
which are sometimes distored in

We hope the Army Air Force
will not overlook the United States

the earth. Having no accurate
information on the subject, but
knowing that when the war start

to include farmers in), it would
work something like this:
Farmer Jake Duncan adds up his
years sale of farm products and
finds he has marketed less than
SIS worth. That's his gross cash
income. Under Mr. Benedict's plan
Jake would be brought into the So
cial security system as a self-em-
ployed worker on an assumed net
income Of $500 a year.
Now Jake is "self-employed'-
and at the present time there is no
provision in the social security act
for insuring the self employed,
either in agriculture or in private
business. The way it works now,
the employed worker who is COW
cred pays into the trust fund ! per
cent Of his wages; his employer con-
tributes per cent in his behalf
Since Jake has no employer, Mr..
Benedict suggests that Jake contrib.
ute both the employer and en-
ployee share, in other words, 2 per
cent of his net income.
And his net income. as stated ear
lier, is $500. So Jake would pay So

continuously for 80 years, be will

ship insurance. That is. if he should
die prematurely. his widow would
not be left completely penniless She
would get three-fourths of the
monthly sum to which he was en-
titled at the time he died.
Suppose Jake finds it hard to

u. S. Waged Unrestricted
~ Warfare

THE PEOPLE of the United
States have been advised by a
Navy announcement, if they did
not know it before, that at the
beginning of the war with Japan
our submarines were instructed to
prosecute unrestricted warfare
against Japanese shipping.
Navy officials admits that the
decision was a serious one to make
obut that the course of the struggle
has demonstrated that it was cor
rect. By this they mean that our
submarines inflicted heavy losses
upon the enemy, crippling shipping
facilities and probably shortening
the war and saving thousands of
American lives.
II should not be overlooked by
Americans, however, that the
policy of unrestricted warfare was
largely the cause of our war with
Germany in 1917 and that the Of
fical utterances of this country,
prior to That struggle, severely de-
snounced the German practice of
unrestricted submarine warfare.
The acceptance of that type Of
naval attack is evidence that the
passage of years brought about
realization that it was the most eff
fective way to use submarines and
that novel methods of attack, mi
tally condemned as uncivilized, are
subsequently, accepted as proper
and routine.
There is no doubt about the dam
age that our submarines inflicted
upon Japanese s1ipping. By far
the larger portion of the enemy's
merchant shipping was destroyed
BY our underseas boats, not by air.
craft as many people believe. The
loss of ships forced the Japanese to
abandon isolated garrisons, pre-
vented supplies from reaching inn
portant battle areas and made it
impossible for the enemy to shift
oops for strategic reasons.

So the farmer and the hired farm
