a wounded crewman.
The ship will make an exten
sive tour of the United States
with her fliers and ground crew
meeting the workmen who made
the craft at various assembly
and parts plants throughout the

team. Before boarding the plane
each member of the crew kissed
Miss Ruth Kniep, Glencoe, 111.,
Red Cross worker.
Her pilot during her last five
missions, Capt. John R. John

other Fortress fliers who have
finished their raid quotas will
accompany the Fortress and her
ground crew.
"Hell's Angels" arrived in
England Oct. 24, piloted by
Capt. Irl Baldwin, of Yakima,
Wash., who was the first pilot
in the European theater to com
plete his quota of raids.

Alaska Wolves
Eat Horses
An interesting letter has been
received by a Salem friend from
Ellsworth Rickctts, an engineer
of the Oregon highway depart
ment who is temporarily with
the government as a bridge en
gineer on the Alaska highway
project. The letter is dated at
Whitehorse, Y. T.
"My duties here," he writes,
"have taken me over the en
tire Alaska highway from Daw
son creek to Fairbanks, a dis
tance of 1600 miles. This has
been both by car and plane. . . .
"I am enclosing an edition of
the Whitehorse Star. It is the
weekly paper of this northern
settlement which is the center
of civilization for these parts,
but if you should have any
doubts as to its wildness you will
note the article on the front
page about wolves devouring
the horses at a small tradng post
about 50 miles from here."
Mr. Ricketts writes that he
may return to Salem for a short
time in February, and will go
back to Alaska in March to fin
ish the 1944 bridge program.

To the Editor: Igor Stravin
sky, the noted Russian com
poser, is meeting with a deserv
ed rebuff in his attempt to in
troduce his own arrangement
of our national anthem via the
Boston symphony orchestra.
"The Star Spangled Banner"
was conceived by a lawyer,
Francis Scott Key, when he was
detained aboard a British flag
ship during the night bombard
ment of Fort McHenry, one of
the forts defending Baltimore
during the war of 1812. The
anxiety and mental anguish en
dured during the night and the
heartfelt jog as the breaking
dawn revealed that our flag was
still there is vividly depicted
in the words of his composition.
It was published a few days la
ter, and, striking a responsive
chord in the American people,
was received with open arms
and almost immediately sung
through the nation.
For over a hundred years it
held its place as one of our na
tional anthems, but not until
1931, during Hoover's adminis
tration, was it selected and by

VP) The army freighter Nevada is shown a few moments before
of the North Atlantic last December after battling .a violent
act of congress made the na
tional anthem. And now comes
a foreign-born, publicity-seeking
musician who would like
to tear it asunder, decompose
what a great American com
posed, and hash it up as we
have seen so many of our dear
old melodies by some so-called
jazz artist, until they are hardly
recognizable.
The tune, as it has been sung
for over a century and a quar
ter, is recognized throughout
the civilized world as strictly
American, like the words, which
are comparable only to those
of Joseph Rodman Drake in his
Address to the Flag. I think
congress should pass a law mak
ing it as much of a misdemeanor
to desecrate our national an
them as our flag.

council Tuesday night. The old

and no new one adopted to take
its place, following the codifi

A resolution was adopted ac
cepting an easement for Fifth

housing project is located.
The question of providing heat
in the women's jail was brought
up and after discussion was
turned over to the committee
on public property.
Whether or not a salary raise
for city employes could be
granted at this time was turned
over to the finance committee
for study.

Famed Skipper
Sinks Cruiser
' London, Jan. 21 VP) A 31-year-old
British submarine com
mander famed for his exploits
in the Mediterranean was cred
ited by the admiralty today with
sinking a Japanese cruiser in
the Indian ocean at the north
ern approaches to narrow 'Ma
lacca strait which, threads be
tween Malaya and the Dutch
East Indies island of Sumatra.
The submarine, skippered by
Lt. Cmdr. L. W. A. Benning
ton, approached to within the
"suicide range" of one mile to
score the first sinking of a Ja
panese cruiser by a British sub
marine in the Indian ocean.
The cruiser, identified as one
of the 5100-ton Kuma class,
went down at about the same
time that three large Japanese
supply ships were sent to the
bottom by the same submarine.
Bennington formerly com
manded the Porpoise which
made naval history by carry
ing supplies to Malta during the
darkest days of the British is
land stronghold in the Mediter
ranean. In one single attack
the Porpoise survived more than
100 depth charges, one of the
heaviest assaults ever made on
a British submarine.

Accidents Kill

More man war
Washington, Jan. 21 VP) .
War-time industrial accidents
killed 7,000, more persons than
battle wounds up to January 1.
Workingmen's injuries sinffc
Pearl Harbor are responsible
for the loss of four times as
many man-hours of production
as strikes.
The damage and destruction
of equipment in workers' ac
cidents "far exceeds the value
of American cargoes that have
been sunk."
Lost work from on-the-job
accidents totals 450,000,000
man-days, enough to have built
7,500 average size merchant,
ships. '
The office of war Information
(OWI), in presenting these fi
gurcs Thursday, declared acci
dents in war plants are "a ma
jor production and manpower
problem," with the wartime
safety program lagging far be
hind the needs of expanded
production lines.
Under the tight delivery
problem exacted by war, OWI
said it is literally true that "thei
death or disability of a skillecrf
war worker here can mean the
death of several fighting men
overseas."
