General Wainwright stated that all the time he was a prisoner in Japanese camps, he thought the American public would hold him responsible for the fait of the Philippines.

Apparently the protests worked, for the or der to send the 95th to Japan was rescinded. PRESIDENTIAL POKER Listeners throughout the country had the opportunity to hear M ar garet Truman, center, daughter of President Truman, when she broad casted with the choir of the Trinity Episcopal church, from the Inde pendence, Mo., “Church of the A ir,” on a coast-to-coast network. She has appeared in operas in several cities in recent years. Rattlesnakes at Ford’s Funeral The faithful of the Dolly Pond Church of God, surrounded by a pushing crowd of curious, bury Brother Lewis Ford, as he had wished, fondling over his open casket the rattlesnake which killed him. Preacher Ford died as the result of snake bites received during a service held near Daisy, Tenn., at which snake handling was a highlight. Millionth G.L Home From Europe Donald S. Russell of South Caro lina, whose nomination as assistant secretary of state was made by President Truman. Russell will fill the vacancy caused by the elevation of Dean Acheson to undersecretary of state. It is expected that other changes will be made. Try Lidice ‘Butcher’ Those who traveled with Presi dent Truman on his various trips to Washington state and Potsdam found him a delightful and en tertaining companion. One story they tell about Truman's trip to the northwest was regarding his salmon fishing off the Washington coast. While the motor boat was chug ging back to shore, Truman and his old senatorial friends. Gov. Mon Wallgren and Sen. Warren Mag nuson of Washington, played poker. The stakes were low. but the thrifty Truman was trying hard to come out ahead. It was agreed that, no matter who was ahead, the game would stop the minute the boat hit shore. So the President kept up a line of banter to the Norwegian skipper. "Slow her down, Christiansen.” he said, " I m behind. I need a little extra time to catch up." Or again, it was: "Speed her up, Christiansen. I ’m ahead now. Let’s get to shore before the governor catches up.” Finally, the motor boat touched shore with the President of the United States a few cents ahead. Skipper Christiansen was just as pleased as Truman. ARMY AND RAILROADS Even the army’s friends on Capitol hill say the brass hats are killing any chance for public sup port they might have had by their autocratic disregard for civilian needs in such fields as coal mining, steelmaking and railroading. One of the busiest railroads in the country today is the Southern Pacif ic, which has handled most of the east-west traffic to the busy port of San Francisco. The S. P. is a single- track line able to carry its huge volume only by scheduling trains at 10-minute intervals round the clock. In order to maintain this schedule, it requires a huge crew of crack trainmen, repair men and other skilled workers. It has done pretty well even iji the last year, although there was a recent bottleneck near El Paso which resulted in the hold ing up of 75 trains. Southern Pacific officials have been begging the army to release skilled railroad men with the Karl Hermann Frank, German 80 points required for discharge, or secretary of state for Bohemia-Mora to furlough railroad men in this via, who is better known as “ Butch country with less points. er” Frank of Lidice. He is consid Finally in mid-summer the army ered responsible for the liquidation agreed to release 4,000 railroad of the Lidice populace following the men, with 2,400 of them assigned to assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. the S. P. But then the army be gan going back on its promise and said it could discharge only 1,300 men. A few weeks ago, the army released 230 men to the Southern Pacific and said no more were available. The joker is that 24,000 men have gone into the armed forces from the S. P. employment roster. In ‘Hall of Fame’ Finally, War Mobllizcr Snyder stepped in and forced the army to release 4,000 railroad men, amidst loud squawks from brass hats that this action would de stroy morale. • « • Corp.

They all apeak the silent language of earth and weather—of crops and stock—of planting time and harvest. For they are farmers — blood brothers the world over. Y Today, many of the farmers of other lands aren’t doing so well. Their lands have been mined, fought over, ravaged. Their stock has been butchered. Their farm buildings burned. They have no seed to plant the soil. They desperately need your help. And you can give your help—through the dollars you give to your Community War Fund. Those dollars you wring from the soil, and give to a great and worthy cause, help more than the farmers of other lands. They help farmers’ sons — and other men’s sons—endure the tedium of prison camps. They help provide the blessing of entertainment to service people throughout the world. And they help solve war problems right here in your own community. The dollars you give to your Community War Fund go farther than any dollars you’re apt to put anywhere else. And this year—they need to go farther than ever before. So give again—and generously—won’t you? Give generously to Y our C o m m u n ity W a r Fund Representing the National War Fund
