The Navy craft which picked him up next went to the res- j cue of a Japanese pilot seen strug- j gling in the water nearby As the rescue boat reached the Japanese flyer he suddenly pulled out his reyolver, aimed it at the drenched American pilot and pulled the trigger. The cartridge failed to explode. Then the Japanese officer turned the gun on himself with suicidal intent. Again he pulled the trigger and again his revolver failed him. At this point an American sailor knocked him out with a boat hook and pulled him aboard the American craft a prisoner. ^ Almost daily one reads eye-witness stories such as this one, and all of them clearly demonstrate that war with our enemy in the Pacific cannot end in compromise. For ten years I lived in Japan. The truth as I know it from close observation is this: Nothing less than the exertion of our maximum capacities, individually and collectively, in a war of offense will bring our beloved country safely to the longed-for haven of victorious peace. The Japanese are pawns of a senseless but mighty militarise?a warrior caste which is ruthless and cruel beyond comprehension. JOSEPH C. GREW Says It's Fiyht to Finish From the flood of eye witness accounts of atrocity and bestiality one fact shines clear. We must utterly crush that machine and caste and system. If, however, we Americans think that collectively and individually we can continue to lead na nor mal Uvea, leaving the spirit or sellsacrifice to our soldiers and sailors, we shall unquestionably run the risk of a stalemate with Japan. I do not have the slightest doubt of our eventual victory. But I do not wish to see the period of our blood, sweat I and tears indefinitely and unnecessarily prolonged. We must not fail to realize that we are up against a powerful fighting machine, a people whose morale cannot be broken even by successive defeats and untold economic hardship, a people who gladly sacrifice their lives for their Emperor and their nution. We must also remember that Japan did not ; start this war without carefully laid military plans for victory over the United States and a peace dictated by their war lords ut the White House. This is a total war, the only answer to which is a total American victory. It is a war in which half measures of any kind mean incredible waste of material, energy and human life. In this sense a halffilled War Savings Stamp album is symbolic of a half effort. There are, I am told, roughly 100 million par- [ tially complete War Stamp albums now in circulation. These uncompleted Stamp albums are, in a measure, like a 100 million threats to a speedy and victorious peace. On the other hand, for every War Savings album completed and cashed in for a Bond, you the owner have helped some soldier or sailor take a forward step on the uphill road to total victory. U. S. 7 r*ajury Imtitl Bicycle Rationing Somewhat Relaxed (Continued from first page) Applications for authority to acquire a bicycle must be filed with the local War Price and Rationing Board which passes on the eligibility of applicants In order to qualify for a rationing certificate, an eligible must show need for a bicycle at least four days a week. OPA regulations provide, that "un less other circumstances rtniulre a contrary conclusion, an applicant shall be deemed to have established his * need for a bicycle if he proves any of the following in connection with his business or occupation:" (** 1. He must travel quickly or often to deliver merchandise or messages or in doing other work and would be better able to do so by bicycle than by walking or using public transpor tation facilities. 2. He has to walk a total of at least three miles la going to and returning from work or school, even when using the most convenient public transportation. 3. He has to spend at least 1 1-2 hours, including walking and waiting time, In getting to and from his Job or school, using public transportation, and could cut this time by ut least 30 minutes with a bicycle. 4. Available public transportation facilities are overcrowed. 5 A bicycle Is clearly needed because of other circumstances. Today's changes in eligibility classifications are made by Amendment No. 7 to Ration Order No. 7 effective February 1. France's Leading N. African Base Bizerte: France's leading naval base in North Africa, Bizerte commands the central narrows of the j Mediterranean, as it is only 120 j miles from Sardinia to the north- I west and 150 miles from Sicily to the northeast. Bizerte has three : harbors?an outer harbor protected ! by jetties thrust into the Mediterranean; the Bay of Sebra, reached ' by a narrow canal; and Bizerte ' lake, a 50-milc expanse deep enough ; for the largest battleships. The fortifications and defenses of Bizerte have earned it the title of a French Gibraltar. The city's population was , estimated, before the war, at 28,500. t I LETTERS TO MIMI from Her Dad Dear Mlml: I spend au awful lot of time thinking-?possibly wlahful thinking? About the kind of woman I want you to be. When 1 see female, human, freaks, and newsmen run Into a good many of them, I think It might be easier to tell you about the kind of person I don't want you to he. This procedure might not employ the moat approved paycologlcal practice but it will serve the purpose for the moment. The best example 1 can offer of one I would not like to see you follow is Eleanor Roosevelt. Of course, chances are, you will not marry a man of F. I>. It 's Btntuo but the same identical principles apply to the more ordinary walks of life. A tenant farmer s wife cai^ be Just as rediculous and asinine as can the First Lady. Well, first of all. Eleanor tries to wear the pants in her family. Hut, the fact remains, the people elected Franklin 1). President; not Eleanor. Such a performance as she has given never sets well with the people with whom one has to deal?and In her case she has to deal with a hundred and thirty million people plus thousands upon thousauds who come Into the world diplomatic picture. She'd be a lot better off if she'd lot her husband run the job the mandate of the people gave him and It's a logical conclusion that he'd be a lot happier. Her breath-taking antics must cause the White House fixers and public relations staff a lot of headaches. Glad 1 don't have that to contend with. To add pain to misery the author of "My Day" talks when she ought to be listening. In her commercially syndicated feature she airs government affairs as well as her personal opinions. And hsr tragic radio appearances are major disasters a rasping, high pitched noise that grates on the tender fibers of fny nervous system like an over-worked buzz saw on a winter night. You know how liberal I am when it comes to questions of races and people. You know that I have gone out on the well known limb for Negro education and other social advantages to that race. Hut, after all, we, here in the South, have been raised with certain standards that regulate our cdnduct with respect to the association and social intercourse of the races. It's not a question here of whether it Is right or wrong. It is a question of precedent. When you're in Rome do as the Romans do. Mrs. Roosevelt has broken every precedent, has insulted the very foundations of our social structure?and forced it down our throats. And she came to the very center of the Southland to do It. 1 could keep this up for hours. Hut the point I want to drive home to you is this: First, be a good wife. Raise and educate your children and train them In the philosophy of life that brings hnpptncss and success. If you are a 1. ader in some field of endeavor, in your own right, then, you are entitled to an opinion and I'd like to see you voice it. But don't swing onto your husband's coat tail to get into the limelight and then commer cialize your position at every turn. Don't be a perpetual reformer. If your man has made a place for himself then help him but stay in the background Let him make the decisions rtmrrrnnrg- hts public business.?Hetng a good wife is a full time job. And, whatever you do, for my sake, don't bo rediculous. Love, Your Dad. P. s. I woke up Tuesday morning with something telegraphing me from the subconscious. It was a vague message that February 16th was your mothers birthday. We celebrated this memorable event at the Sarsfleld Club as guests of I>eon Schloaburg. Will write you more about the Club later. What you. Buy 10itk WAR BONDS That new cooking range, whether it be gas, electric or otherwise, is something to look forward to when the War Is won. But you can start saving now to buy it. Put a definite amount every payday, ten percent of your pay check . . . into War Bonds today. When your Bonds mature you will (lave the money ready for that new range. You will have mrie a good Investment, getting back Ul for every S3. And your purchase of War Bonds is helping that boy. husband ar sweetheart on the fighting front. U. Si.

Marks became chief chemist of Diamond Rubber company when four years out of Harvard. One of first chemists to be employed by rubber company. Crude rubber at this time was selling at $2,000 a ton. Around 1906-1907, crude sold as high as $3 a pound. Marks took second-hand bicycle tires, placed them in weak solution of caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) at 360 degrees F. for 20 hours. This removed cloth, any uncombined sulphur^ some lead pnmnnun^ and re- , plastici/ed the ruouer." KeclaftrifiJ rubber weighed about half as much as the original tires. This alkali process is essential^ the same as used today. Marks remained as superintend* ent of the Diamond Rubber com*; pany (later merged with Goodrich) j of Akron. He formed the Alkali Rub-1 ber company in the U. S., the Northwestern Rubber company in England, and the Pan American Rubber company in South America ta reclaim rubber. Also the Interna* tional Process company which tt* censed the Continental Grummiwerke in Hanover, Germany.
