Flack-Wounded Pilots of
B-17, Enables Safe Return
An Eighth Air Force Bomber
Station, England The- distin
guished flying cross has been
awarded First Lieut. Louis N.
Iven, 20, of Medford, Ore., bom
bardier on an eighth air force
B-17 Flying Fortress, for quick
ly reviving the unconscious nilot
and co-pilot of his plane during1
a Dombing attack on a target
near Nucort, France, and en
abling them to fly the bomber
back to its base In England.
The bomber, attacking a Ger
man strong point in support of
allied ground operations, was
hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire
while over the target. Both the
pilot and co-pilot were wounded
and dazed from the flak blow,
but the plane was on "automatic
pilot" for the bomb run and con
tinued on its course. .
Lt. Iven gave the co-pilot first
aid, and brought him to con
sciousness so that he could take
over the controls of the plane.
The bombardier then put his
own oxygen mask on the pilot,
whose mask had been blown
away by the flak burst, and re
vived him.
Holds Other Honors -The
official citation accom

September 27 Is "Victory
Fleet Day."
On this day, under War Ship
ping Administration sponsor
ship, the United States honors
the gallant service of the Amer
ican Merchant Marine its ships
and the men who run them.
They have built and main
tained the supply lines to Vic
tory. Standard of California is
proud to salute them and to tell
a little of what they have done.
Appropriately, September
27 is the third anniversary of
the launching of the first Lib
erty Shin, the S. S. PATRICK
HENRY. Despite all of war's
hazards she still is on the job
"delivering the goods."
Since she was launched, more
than 3,600 American merchant
vessels have followed her down
the ways. Their job has been,
night and day, to see that every- s
thing we at home can produce
is landed in the hands of our
front line fighting men at the
time and place to do the most
damage to the enemy.
Standard of California
operates a great fleet of tankers,
so we naturally know best the
tanker men and their ships.
You can take it for granted
that they will get their oil and
gasoline through or be sunk
in the attempt.
But, they do a lot more than
carry the products for which
tankers were built. Extra decks
have been built and on them are
carried complete planes that go
into the air within a few hours
after the tankers make a land
fall. These extra loads provide
the air replacements for many a
Pacific Island base and plane
carrier at the strategic time.
Their decks carry PT boats
complete with crews. They haul
guns and amphibious tanks,
readv to go overside into action.
And then, although the
tankers swing low in the water,
thev frequently throw out cable
and haul along behind a barge
loaded with even more gaso
line and oil, or the other mate
rials of war.
Yes, all honor to these ships
and their officers and men.
They, too, arc at the beachheads.

Bricker and Truman Address
American Lesion Convention
Chicago, Sept. 18 0J.R)
American business and industry
must be "unshackled" in the
post-war era to guarantee and
provide Jobs for returning war
veterans to prevent a repetition
of the manner In which the Job
was done after the last war.
Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio
today told veterans of 1918.
Speaking before the American
Legion convention, the Repub
lican vice presidential nominee
said that failure now to plan for
the reabsorption of approximate
ly 12,000,000 veterans in the na
tion's economic life will mean
that they fought only for a "bat
tlefield Illusion."
"But we shall not succeed If
we rely only upon good inten
tions, government doles, and
public works," Bricker said.
"Government must help. Gov
ernment will help. The G.I. bill
of rights is a good beginning.
We must make it work. But that
will not solve the problem; and
that, I know, is not all our men
and women in the armed service
want."
Bricker, an army chaplain in
the last war, pointed out that
when soldiers were drafted or
enlisted they were guaranteed,
under the selective service act,
their old jobs upon their return.
Now, he said, "certain sources"
are saying that it will be a mis
take to get jobs for veterans by
taking them away from someone
elsc "that seniority rights are
property rights, and are more
sacred than job priorities for our
soldiers."
"I do not share that view,"
he declared. "To accept it is to
break our covenant with those
who now fight and die for us.
All veterans are entitled to have
their jobs back and no individ
ual, group, or organization dare
deny that right."
In a strong bid for Legion
support, Bricker said that vet
erans of the first World war felt
the "real blow of ingratitude"
when under the "guise of econ
omy when there was no econ
omy in government" their pen
sions were cut and benefits
vetoed, and the president told
them that the simple fact of a
man wearing a uniform did not
place him "in a special class."
Reiterating a program outlin
ed in his Parkersburg, W. Va.,
speech Friday, Bricker said that
a "climate of opportunity" must
be created through full produc
tion after the war, rationing and
price-fixing must be terminated
as quickly as possible, taxes re
duced, and small business en
couraged.
Our economic society Is not
tottering In old age," Brirkcr
said. "It Is simply paralyzed by
the restraints and shackles that
are fastened on it. Unshackle it
and we shall find it strong and
full of promise for the future.1

Chicago, Sept. 18 (U.R) Sen.
Harry S. Truman, of Missouri,
Democratic candidate for vice
president, told the American
Legion today that the organiza
tion faces one of its greatest
responsibilities that of seeing
that discharged veterans are
properly placed in jobs.
"Our responsibility is to helpjto halt a transportation strike.
see that discharged soldiers who
have done our fighting for us
are placed properly in industry
in farming, and in small busi
ness," Truman said. "I want to
emphasize the small business
angle. Small business is the bul
wark of free enterprise in this
country, about which we hear
so much talk.
"The American Legion can
make one of the greatest con
tributions to the welfi.ro of this
great republic, if it assumes that
responsibility. And, I am sure
it will do just that."
Truman outlined the G.I. bill
of rights, which he described as
"the most comprehensive serv
icemen's relief legislation ever
passed in the history of this
country."
He said the bill "will pre
vent n repetition of the tragic
mistakes under which World
War I veterans suffered and will
guarantee just treatment to our
veterans."
He told of visiting hospitals
at Mare Island and Hingham.
Utah, where he saw "marvelous
demonstrations of what is being
done along the line of rehabilita
tion," one of the important
rights stressed by the G.I. bill.
Truman also described the
war department's demobilization
plan.
He said that first, of course,
the war must be won "and
thoroughly and completely this
time.
"But when the war ends in
Germany, men will bo available
immediately for discharge from
the armed services."
Truman said that, In all prob
ability, "the country's affairs
will be In the hands of veterans,
just as those affairs were, after
the war for independence, in the
hands of Revolutionary veterans
and of World War I veterans to
a very great extent now.
"I am confident that the
things for which this great re
public stands will be safe In the
hands of the men who were
willing to -fight and die, If -necessary,
to prevent the spread
of totalitarianism, tyranny and
dictatorship.
"They fought to make that
greatest of all documents for
government, the Constitution of
the United States, stand as our
ideal, and I have enough con
fidence in them to know that
they will continue to uphold and
defend it for future genera-;
tions." , I
