Tha 104(3 Ford will be exposed
today to public view, and, a
clandestine peep at the auto
caused an Albany-Democrat Her
ald scribe to become enraptured,
in part, as follows:
"It seemed to ma that, after
I had seen this car, the sun
shone a little brighter, faces
on the street seemed more
friendly. The future holds a
world of promise. It is good
to be alive, to be able to look
forward to things yet to
come."
Such glorification entitles the
author to the honor of being the

"He ordered a small repair

when it was done he received
a bill for $2.63, IS cents of
which was for parts and $2.50
for an hour's labor. Evidently
Joe kept track of the time
which he claimed was con
siderably short of an hour, so
he drew up a chair for the
workman and told him he
would pay for the bill when
the hour was up but Insisted
that the workman stay there

"These are days when It some
times seems as if it would be

Salute To the. Navy .
Saturday is Navy Day.
And it is with a glow of pride and deep sense of
gratitude that we salute the men of the Navy upon
this 23rd observance of their own day. Flushed with
victory, the fighting men of the fleet sailors, marines
and coast guardsmen are returning home again, and
a well deserved tribute will be paid to them tomorrow.
LJERE in Medford, Navy Day has new significance
with the recent commissioning of the Navy hos
pital at Camp White. A goodly number of officers
and men are now our neighbors, so to Captain Harry
LeFavre and his command we especial greetings upon
this occasion.
TTWO crippling blows have been dealt the U. S. Navy
in recent years. A little more than a decade ago
the fleet, that might conceivably have preserved
peace, was scuttled at the peace tables. The second
blow was dealt by the Japanese dive bombers in the
treacherous attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7th,
1941.
Americans will never forget the high courage and
supreme sacrifice of the handful of seafaring men
who resisted overwhelming odds from Manila to Port
Moresby in the early critical days of the war; they
will remember, too, the men who kept the Atlantic
sea lanes open against the ravages of U-boat packs
in '41 and '42.
'HE victories of the Coral Sea and Midway started
the Navy's triumphant march through the Gilbeits
and Marshalls to Guam, Saipan, Iwo Jima, the
Rvukvu Islands and Tokyo Bay itself. Japan's sea-
gates have been smashed, a large portion of the Im
perial Fleet sent to Davy Jones locKer, tne nomeiana
pummeled and hammered by powerful task forces and
nlanes. The Naw had escorted MacArthur back to

YES, the men of America's sea forces have ample

Halsev's hard hitting carriers and Mitscher's swift and
deadly flat-tops rode the highest traditions of John

dreadnaughts and the dive-bombers and torpedo
planes of the earners.
T is to be earnestly desired that some day the need
for a michtv fleet will not be necessary. When the
Third Fleet visited San Francisco the other day it was
estimated that $340,000,000 in American investments
were floating on the bay at one time. These ships
produce no goods, their operation only consumes the
products of human energy. Actually, they are worth
a small traction or tneir cost to duuq ior any measur
able economic service they perform in peacetime.
On the other hand, these ships have been wortn
many times their cost to build in saving for America
everything we possess even our cherished freedom
and life itself. And until the cupidity and avarice of
human beings have been banished forever, just as
lone as wars are possible, we had better keep a strong
navy on hand for a vigilant peace. H.G.
ter system for more reserves
could be built in a democratic
way. We nre a democracy fa-

If military training were

In their home towns millions of
youngsters could, get basic train

out their high school and col

get rpeeiali7ed training in scien

TTIERE Is reed for haste as
Mr. Truman sold. A long
time will be required to get
these things going efficiently.
Many bills to carry out some
phaso of uch a democratic
tralnlni program are pending in
congiess. bt't there is no demo
cratic program as a whole. This
Is the gravest fault of the cur
rent situation
If the bul'head"d war depart

congress wants and Is able to
control Mr. Truman, congress
is likely to work out a piece

Washington, Oct. 28 The
papers amply reported what
congrcrsmen said about Mr.
Truman's
youth draft
plan, but more
important was
what was not

Leader Bnrkley could not be

A similarly significant void
was evident all down the line
of botn democratic and repub
lican ranks, where the men
know the youth draft is not
popular. Actually, only those
congressmen who had already
committed themselves on both
sides of th question chose to
comment.

did not change voles or arouse

plans for a youth draft of her

presentation was the most. lm
press: vi The wr'tlen argument
of the president cannot hold
analytical water
ITE SAYS, for Instance, he
' vanti a small army and
navy, a big national guard and
a youtn draft for leserves. His
defense then would rest entirely
on how bis and good he made
the national guard, because he
admits the drafted youth would
only have basic training not
the specialized training essen
tial for modern war.
He claimed the rockets and
atom bombs have robbed us of
time to prepare In the future.
But he said the army and navy
could not use th. youthful re
serves until time was taken
out to get sn act of congress
passed. By that time the nation
might be destroyed
He claimed our geopraphlcal
ocean defence had been destroy
ed (directed mlssllr would come
winding over the Icy frontier of
the Arctic lo our midwest), but
his plat would risk our defenses
to " a small army and navy and
a national juard, which hardly
sounds like adequate defense
and completely abi.ndons attack
possibilities which are often the
best defense.

FRANKLY, it seems to me Mr.
Truman was sold an obsolete
youth draft svstem by the old
time crowd In tha war depart
ment, and he dressed It up with
his nationa guard enlargement
idea, ai'd presented it as an an
swer for a Job it will not do.
From his own evidence we will
have tr be ready to act faster
than his plan would allow ac
tion. Then again he said "universal
militaiy training is not con
scription " assuming apparently
that conscription applies only to
direct service In the army and
navy.
Conscription means "enlisted
by co.npu'slon" tor anything
whether civilian service, youth
camps or the democratic party.
