To WTiat End Such Chances? - The tourist season apparently is open to the Normandy peninsula and it is to be wondered to what end. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Kins; George and several other non-militarists in high Allied circles have been chronicled as visitors. From here, it looks like the boys in the air, on. the ground and on the sea have the matter well in hand and can keep it so.

Renamed, renovated and re-equipped, the no ted naval transport USS Henderson now the USS - Bountiful was playing iU original tola . in ' reverse 'today. ' ' .' ' ': '. '$ tf ?:t--t For 28 years, the Henderson built its reputa tion as the senior transport of the United States fleet by taking men and horses: to many parts of the world. It was designed is a horse car rier, but was nastily converted for troops when this nation entered World 'war 1; ! In World war n it has carried thousands of tune to divert attention from the most para-- men to bases in the Pacific mount military job history ever has known. The Germans could make extreme capital of the incident should any sort of an accident hap pen to high-placed names. And any such spark of reawakened morale is exactly what we don't need. ; ; . Churchill, the king or , anyone else with no specific job to do 'is out of place in this vital' military zone. It seems highly doubtful that the sight of any such personages would outweigh in morale for our own forces the arrival of a new contingent of fighting planes or seaborne sup plies which the same facilities might provide if utilized otherwise. ; The military men who planned and executed the invasion to the exact detail which led to its success, and the courageous fighting men who took their orders in the face of a defense which thousands of casualties cannot minimize, belong in Normandy and we cannot give thanks enough that they are there. There is no honor to be won by those who follow, when the beachhead is safe, merely for the sake of appearances. t (Interpreting The War News By JAMES D. WHITE : : Associated Press Statt Writer 1 I (Substituting for Klrke L. Simpson) Capture of As lito airport on Saipan island may be more significant in the war against Japan than the! fau of Cherbourg will be In relation to the libera tion of Europe. This sunbaked airdrome, some 1500 miles from Tokyo, already Is being repaired by Seabees as American marines and infantry wage a desperate battle to gain the rest of the island. 'Its first use, of course, will be for local opera tions. This stand may continue some time because the Japanese seem to realize fully the seriousness of this American thrust so close to their homeland. They are likely to fight with unprecedented des peration to take the maximum toll before giving ground. :.' ., ' r ' ' ; However for the first time, American land-based bombers may find here a take-off within striking range of, virtually all the Japanese home islands. The B-29 Superfortresses which recently bombed ' western Japanese industrial centers did so only after ferrying their own fuel over the Himalayas Into Chinese bases, i j ' . A (Mimlntf Catnan Avswitiialf w Viaa lie a1 n m e base of these planes, supplies would come by sea directly across the Pacific instead of around the world to India and over the Himalayas. Consolidation of American bases in the Marianas would make it much more difficult for the Japa nese fleet to continue in .hiding, for the B-29 Su perfortress has a range which cancels out much of the physical isolation which the Japanese counted upon when they decided in 1941 that the Pacific was too big an ocean .for the American fleet to reconquer. Americans have been more amused' than any thing else by the promise a Tokyo propagandist, - made to the Japanese people yesterday, that a great naval victory could be expected soon, but this may be an important hint that Japan's naval situation is approaching a crisis. ' , - I ; While Tokyo may cook up another great naval victory out of thin air, the fact that they find it expedient to do so indicates that the Japanese peo ple are wondering along with everyone else "where is the imperial fleet?"

Something Else Has; Been Gained I ' Memorandum for the Peace Conference; It should be noted that the recent bombing of Japan disclosed even more than the "fact that our new B-29s can jeer at distance.! - j In the spring of 1942, ifter Jimmy Doolittle and his men roared off the carrier Hornet with their B-25s, it was announced Ultimately that "all the planes reached their destination' Censorship was not well served by that an nouncement. It was misleading in the extreme, as many a relative and friend found out so sad ly. Communique writers could say that by "des tination" they meant Japan. But the connota tion was otherwise. - j, 1 J-' ' j-- '.:t:.- This time, two of our planes were announced as lost, then four. No criticism attaches to! the change in figures. Rather, the incident seemed to show a new willingness to release as rapidly as possible the major data no inatter good or bad. :-; Today's (Radio IPirbgirainnis News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON l (Distribution by King features Syndicate, inc.

The Safety Valve Letters from Statesman Readers IS BEHALF OF UNIONS To the Editor: . - - - I have listened to this vicious attack .condemning unions, the union men, big wages, strikes, ' bollheadedness, greed and equajity of sacrifice, f A It's time someone did a little praising along with the nettling. Let's tear these accusations to pieces and see if this or these statements aren't a bit one sid ed. Especially if a union man or ' men ask for a raise in pay. He or they are justified in securing, a decent living, a fair and live able wage. i Do you think wages are fair?; Could you live and provide for a family adequately with rent at i $30 a month, lights, water, wood, medicine, clothing, school gup plies and last but not least the ' HX.C, high Irving cost, and if : your wages were 82 He an hour, ? 5 days a week (till recently), 6 days a week, do you think you could buy bonds or even save for those rainy days ahead? Try it and see how long your existence would.be. Ot course, if your ; profession is ' in the upper bracket (ours isn't) your outlook is brighter. I kick on high prices too. Every time I go to the-doctor, - which Isnt very often, thank heaven, I u kick on the high prices. X kick over the price of a 4-ounce bot tle of medicine every, lime I get : a prescription filled. 5 . Every time X have the tooth-' ache I have to kick out $10 to , $15 for fillings or 1130 to Si for reUeving me of one tooth. Your prices aren't in line with i wages. My withholding tax on one check was $3 on two weeks. work. I am not kicking either. I am sure if It wasn't for the unions today, wages ! would be very smalL The big! shipyards, airplane, . steel corps, lowers, mills; In fact every corporation little or big would not be paying . over-50c an hour. And I would hate to see their working condi tions. As an individual with no supporting unions the chances of a raise or better working condi tions would be very slim. ,, . The workingman's only wea pon is the union, or a group of workmen. I haven't seen any of those big wages that I have heard about 'v r If you happen to see any go ing by let me know, I want to cast my glimmers and see what they or It looks like. . If you are referring to the wages being paid today, then :f take a good look at the high cost of living. If you have 2 apples and then' subtract 2 apples you have 0. That's our big wages af ter rent, lights, water, wood, , groceries have been paid. X work . . for en honest living. If I could . 1 get a ten per cent kickback or a Job cost phis per cent, I could live In a swell hornet drive a new automobile, smoke ? good cigars and take life easy. I might raise a big howl if I heard that some working stiff wanted a raise in pay so as, to provide a decent living for his family and try to save a little at the same time. - We of the labor unions have sacrificed our time, our money and blood. We are very, glad to have been able to do so. . Ask the Red Cross. Every man In our plant gave from $1 to $5, some even more. Our little local besides, that voted another $50. Also gave a very generous dona- : tion to the VFW and are so glad thai we were able to do so. AH we want is a wage to keep our heads out of the mud. X am satis-i .fled at freezing, tbe. wages' and everything else with; wages. As soon as wages were froxen' ev erything from soup to nuls . started on the upward trend. Did "wages go on the same level as the cost of living? We would buy more bonds if we could Just get . our hands on some of those big wages.- C'h i John j. snyder 1035 S.

Today the Tribune, Cot Mccormick's paper, calls on Gov. Dewey to express himself on the issues of the day-Mwe do not want another pig in a poke" . says the Trib. Bricker has been needling Dewey on the same line, without effect, for some weeks. -There is no doubt that, the Bricker campaign has developed more strength than was antici pated, but of course he has been ' campaigning almost in a vacuum, with Willkie out Dewey holding : his; vow of silence, and Stassen half the globe away. As it stands the convention will probably go for Dewey on about the second ballot though Bricker will more nearly represent the views of the republican conservatives who at tend, r just as Willkie will still betthe favorite of most of the progressives. I had only one item of business to transact in Chicago - a wage increase filed last December for a portion of our newpaper mechan ical force. It had been referred to the newspaper panel of WLB with offices in Chicago. My last communication dated April 29 stated that the panel expected to act on it that week, so I thought I would check up. ' It was a typical war bureau - a group of young women at desk's surrounded by "filing cases.
