\\7 ASHING TON, D C - In de**
scribing one of the big air
battlrs over Guadalcanal a recent
newspaper account tells of an Arner- j
ican flyer who parachuted from his I
crippled plane to the waters of
Lung a Bay. 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.

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

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.

For Instance, coffee waste has 9

Now that the precious beans .*
are rationed and coffee Is eer i
I a Inly too good to waste, house* fj
keepers measure both water *
and coffee accurately, making
only as much as the family will I
drink at a time. If there are a I
few drops left over after a $
meal they are collected in a
covered glass Jar in the refrigerator.
Or they should be?
Not that they can be used as a 1
beverage again. But these drops ?
of coffee soon add up to a cup|
and can be used as flavoring I
In dessorts and cakes.
It took a shortage to point n
out coffee waste to consumers.
Don't wait for rationing of S

In addition to counting noses I

Marks' Patented Process
For Reclaiming Rubber
Arthur Hudson Marks patented the
alkali process of reclaiming rubber.
A great improvement. 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.
