SENATOR BURTON WRONG AGA IN AS USUAL Senator Burton, Ohio, who will seek the nomination in the next senatorial primary, if he wishes to succeed himself, has a record of probably being wrong in his votes on New Deal meas­ ures, that would not click more than 40 —60, using the Republi­ can yardstick. The Senator this week joined with the renegrade Demo­ cratic- New Dealers »and voted for the labor-slave manpower bill. However, there were enough Republicans and Democrats of the old school to see through the Communistic bill and it was killed by a vote of 46 to 29. If the Senator seeks a second term he not only will face an embarrasing situation in a Republican primary but if nomi nated would almost bring certain defeat on. himself and do un­ told damage to other candidates on the Republican ticket. As usual his companion, Sen. Joe Ball, R., Minn,, whp bolt­ ed the Republican ticket last November, •also voted for the slave-labor act. As strong as unions are in Cuyahoga county, as open as all labor leaders fought this bill, even though de­ manded by Roosevelt, Burton votes blindly for the bill. How he feels in the face of the vote in the Senate would be hard to explain, other than he seems more enamored with New Dealism than American principles whereby man may be free to work when and where they please. The claim the bill was necessary to “ aid the war effort” was blasted when Jimmy Byrnes resigned and it became known the administration wanted the measure passed; not for the war effort, but to control all labor, after victory in Germany. This was an admission the New Dealers were once more endeavor­ ing to enslave labor just as Stalin does.in Russia and as Hitler and Mussolini have done in Germany and Italy. . Ohio Reublicans point with shame to the record Senator has made in the Senate. His record will hardly appeal to the boys that return from the front. They will discover the Senator has been endorsing principles that have been fighting against. MMI4IM9 UNIONS OPPOSE VETERANS TAK ING OLD JOBS The Detroit News in, a recent issue with glaring headlines exposed treatment given a former employee in the Ford Motor Car Company plant. This employee left his bench to answer the call of his country and he saw service on various European battlefronts with the U. S. forces. He was mustered out with an honorable discharge. When he left his post for the military camp he was told by the company management that his job would be open for him on his return. He. accepted the state­ ment in, good faith. He learned also the federal government by act of congress had given him and all service men protec­ tion in that their jobs would be open for them when they re­ turned home. Many things have happened aince that young man left his home city to do his part in the war. The CIO had taken over the Ford Company so far as labor was concerned with the back­ ing of the New Deal. The company no longer can make good its promise to its former employees in service unless the CIO gives approval. While the government says by law the return­ ing service men can have their old jobs back, the New Dealers take orders from Murray, Hillman, etc. The Detroit paper found a woman, member of the CIO, at the bench of the former service man. The union held it would be impossible for the service man to take" his job for he had been away fourteen months and thereby lost his seniority. The New Deal has done nothing for the serviceman. Strange to say there has not been an organization in that city to champion Die. cause of the veteran, let alone endorse the actionrof the News in broadcasting the injustice of a former factory em­ ployee. -How different are the days as compared with those of yesterday when an owner of a great manufacturing concern cannot guarantee square dealing for his employees. ■ When the union Communists are driven out of the govern­ ment and especially out of the White House, then will return­ ing veteraps get their reward. The time might not be so far away for qh Tuesday, Michigan Reublicans, elected all of the state candidates'except one. Even Detroit went Republican. The light of a new day may be dawning.

Lausche in demanding, pass­ age of the Ross bill to permit women to work overtime in war factories. Some one should investigate the tire situation wherein the union has re­ duced the output o f tires per man per day. .While the Governor 'sweats over the stand of organized labor he will face a hot issue in demanding a cut in revenue for state school support. When the teachers get busy—better watch out, Governor. Some days ago FDR hiked o ff to his Hyde Park, home and newsmen were handed the war censorship gag to keep the public from knowing what was going on in politics. Pegler took tho issue to himself and flaunted the order as “ baloney’. No one has ever heard o f the M P’s being dispatched fqr the columnist. We had a talk a few days ago with a boy ..from the European front. He will not return there but is to be ship­ ped to the South Pacific. When asked how the boys overseas felt about the European war, he said they all want to comfe home the minute Germany gives up or is conquered, We asked about the thousands Churchill wants to keep over there to do police duty even after the war is over.' ‘The boys have a way o f letting the government know how they feel and the folks at home have the votes. They will do this time just as they jlid in the other war. . Woodrow Wilson was defeated for re-election. Then things. were soon wound up in Europe. How do you feel about the . Roose­ velt proposal" to ship four million soldiers to Chinn when. Hitler gives up the fight? The New Dealers want to ship our boys in Europe, part of them to China to fight in the China- Jap contest. Roosevelt says it will take five years to clear China of the Japs. Would you be willing to have your son quartered in China for five years .fighting the Japs.when China has 400 million people ‘to form her own army. Congress must authorize the China trip and we would guess even New Dealers would hold back on that proposal. COLLEGE NEWS Seaman First Class, John Bandars and his bride, the former Doris Townsley were married at the United Presbyterian parsonage last Thursday afternoon returned Wed­ nesday from their honeymoon trip. Come War o r Peace, Cupid wins. All join in wishing the newlyweds boa voyage on the sea of matrimony. Who would go back to the old ways even?.in sowing clover seed? Fifty years, ago the sower walked and fid­ dled the sower. Now the tractor it. used; the sower is o f the turbiti type, and the work is done in a fourth ot the time and with much less energy. The gay nineties were okay in then day but this is the twentieth century- -agreat day in which we live. . Plans for the meeting honoring Dr. Frank Albert Jurkat’s Fifty Consec­ utive years o f Service to Cedarville College and ‘ the Community are practically completed. There will be special music, messages from various organizations, an address by a Hoos- ier by adoption, and eats. Many res­ ervations have been made already.

He exposed the man-power bill which gave it a quick death. Jimmy did not relish the idea that he was to stand and take ail the brickbats heaved at the adminis­ tration. The night-life crowd in. New York City have turned on FDR. Then the motion picture colony have been saying sour things, about New Dealers. Then FDR mussed up the voting plan for the •San Francisco powwow and. he had to back, down to please Stalin, There was the secret dealings on the peace plan and when exposed some Roosevelt dirty linen was hung out to public view; The celebrated. man-power bill, a' 100 percent-Communistic .program to control labor as a war measure but later branded as a post-war measure for political purposes, died a death by strangulation in the Senate Tuesday. Roosevelt made a great plea on two different occasions for the bill as did the war and navy departments and a lot of “ brass hats” . It was the bold­ est piece of representation by misrep- utation and deceit ever to come from the White House fromany president. Senator Johnson, Dem., Colo., who in­ troduced the bill in the upper branch in good faith, he said, discovered it was a piece o f underhanded, work and he was jla y e d as a sucker. He announced Monday that he would vote- the following day . against his own measure. His statement was an open apology that he had been tricked by the White House. Chapel speaker Tuesday was Dr. James Lyons Chesnut, 18, pastor of the Bellevue Presbytqrian Church, Pittsburgh, Pa. Miss Florence Bow­ ers had charge o f devotions and the speaker was. introduced by Gordon Taylor. Dr. Chesnut’s father and Gordon’s father ,were co-workers in the Reformed Presbyterian church in by gone days, the fdinner pointed out. The speaker stated as the subject for our thinking together—“ Looking to the Future” War, great as the situa- tentioji it is now getting, is not the greatest problem confronting us. Problems for America really begin when the war is won. Among the '■ the problems, how use the lessons of ■science "for constructive purposes I rather than for destruction. Joy to ' direct mass education to the end of j human welfare rather than those of i the Nazis or Fascist types? World War II came by way of ’Asia, so Will War III,,(Unless Christian America awakes. 1 Shicklegrubcr. was a paper hanger. “ Joe” began as a train robber. Over three million person's were put to death that the present regime might prevail in Russia. Communionism is godless and atheistic. It gives the people bread apd clothes but that is not enough, ffir. Sam Higginbottom and Rev. Taylor have set the example of what is needed, namely, Christian' democracy. God must be in every­ thing of life if life is to be a-success. Man has power tq change the future. Who wants the ideals that have been prevailing in Europe the past two decades. The Ideals of Jesus are the only solution. Students and faculty appreciate very much the fine mes­ sages Dr. Chesnut brings when he comes out* way. The latch strig is out, Doctor. FOUR BOYS GIVEN STATE . FARMER DEGREES BY F. F. A. SAVE MORE THIN FIVE LBS. OF WASTE PAPER PER MONTH PER PERSON Three Greene County Future Far­ mers o f America chapters, Beaver­ creek, Cedarville. and Xenia, received recognition for signal honors.. Bruce Conner ,reporter for the local chap­ ter, received a silver medal. The de­ gree of State Farmer has only been given once before in the Cedarville chapter and that was to Wallace Col­ lins., This honor is bestowed usually in the senior year on tho basis of scholarship, leadership in school and church activities as well as for carry­ ing an outstanding agricultural pro­ gram. Harold Stormont was among tho 168 selected to receive the degree of state farmer’ Other boys honored in the county were Joseph Hutcl\ison, Joseph Ary, and Roger Conklin,' fiar- old Stormont and James Middleton, the latter from Xenia were chosen to represent this county in the state contest,. Harold has been active in 4-II club work for seven years, carries projects in hogs and calves, and has -a good I foundation in registered South-down 1 sheep, This year he is the leader of 1 the Cedarville Boys 4-H club and is ! treasure? of the F.

The. Ohio State Salvage Com­ mittee has challenged every other state in the country to determine which can increase its monthly per capita total o f waste paper salvage during 1944, In back of this challenge are Ralph H. Stone. Director of the Ohio State Council of Defense; James G, Lewis, WPB Executive Secretary of Ohio, Gen­ eral Salvage Branch; Harold W. Nichols. Chairman, Ohio State Sal­ vage Committee; Ethel G. New- , comb, Vice-Chairman; Robert O. Weible, Secretary; and James L. Hubbcll, Administrator o f the Ohio State Salvage Committee. An urgent plea has gone out. from the State Salvage Committee ofithe Ohio Council of Defense to increase present average monthly collections of 500,000 tons of waste paper to a minimum of 667,000 tons i month. Unless this increase is effected At once, we face the danger of having not some, but many* o f our paper mills. close down,. Salvage Committee officials explain. “It has become Increasingly hard to find enough manpower to cut sufficient pulpwood to fill the ex­ isting gap between our present average supply of waste paper and the pulp tonnage the paper mills need to keep abreast of the terrific demand this war has thrown upon them," Ohio's challenging salvage' officials say. “ Every American must do hit part by saving every piece of scrap paper. It is vital to our nation's successful prosecution of the war." ' Ernie Pyle With the Navy: Pilots Coached Before Attacks on Tokyo Area Japs Jabber at Sight of Yanks; 'Rescue Airman Off Enemy Shore B y E rn ie P y le IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC.—We were up an hour and a half before daylight, for our planes had to be in the. air at the first hint of dawn. The first patrol was always launched by catapult, because in the wind-swept semi-darkness, it was too*dangerops for them to make the run down the rolling deck.

(3-23--6t-4-27 ) MARCUS SHOUP, "Attorney fo r Plaintiff After seeing the flights launched the first few days, it became old stuff, and I would have stayed in bed and ignored it, but that was impossible. The catapult’s huge launchingmachin­ ery was directly above my cabin, and every time it shot a plane off it was just as though the W ash ing ton m onum en t' had fallen on'the ship, himself couldn't have slept through it, So I just got up. Ernie Pyle Rip Van Winkle The fighter pilots were given their last briefing. In the “ ready room’ ’ the squadron commander and intel­ ligence officer showed them on maps and by drawings on the black­ board, just where they would strike. The squadron commander asked how many of the pilots had no wrist watches. Six held up their hands. The funny part was that the ship had no extra wrist watches, so I don’t know why, he asked the ques­ tion in the first place. , Then he told what our approxi­ mate total of planes over Japan would be, and how many it was probable the Japs would put up against us. And then he said." “ So you see, each one of us will only have to take care of three Jap planes!” The' pilots all laughed and looked at each, other sheepishly, (Days later, when the final scores were in, we found our force had destroyed Japs at nine-to-one.) And at the .end of his briefing, the squadron commander gave strict orders for the pilots not to shoot at Japs coming down in parachutes. “ They’re supposed to do it to us," he said, “ but it isn’t the thing for us to do.” • • • The bomber pilots and their en­ listed gunners and radiomen were ;briefed the same way. After the in­ telligence officer had finished, the squadron commander said: “ We’re going to dive low on the target before releasing our bombs. Since we’re risking our necks any­ how, there’s no point in going at all unless we can do some damage, so go down low.” • if • All through the various strikes on Japan, our task force kept enough planes back to fly a constant blanket of protection in the sky above us. I remember the funny sign chalked on the blackboard of the “ ready room " first day, urging our patrol pilots to .extra vigilance for Jap planes that might sneak out from the mainland to attack us. The sign said: “ Keep alert—remember your poor scared pals on the ship!” ‘ • • • Foe Surpriaed By Strike : , We didn’t know whether our first planes over the mainland would sur­ prise the Japs or not. It didn’t seem possible, yet there were no indica­ tions .that they knew. For two days on our approach we had been knocking off Jap recon­ naissance planes and picket boats. We hoped we had got these scat­ tered planes and boats before they had time to radio back home the news of our presence. One of our de­ stroyers had even sat all day on top of a Jap submarine to keep him from coming to the top and sending a warning. But still we didn’t know for sure, so there was -tenseness that first morning. We knew almost exact­ ly what time our first planes would be over the Tokyo area. We went to the radio room to lis­ ten. The usual Japanese programs were on the air. We watched the clock. Suddenly—at just the right time—the Jap stations all went off the air. There was silence for a few min­ utes. And then the most Donald Duck-like screaming and jabber- j ing you ever heard. The announcer j was so excited you hac] to laugh. We knew our boys were there. After that, for us on the ship, it was just a matter' of waiting, and hoping. And as the blackboard sign said, of being poor scared pals. Finally all but six of our planes were back from their strike on Tokyo and safely landed. The six formed a separate flight, and we couldn't believe that all of them had been lost, and for that reason our officers didn’ t feel too concerned. And then came a radio message from the flight leader. It said that one of the six was down in the Ocean, and that the other five were hanging around to try to direct some surface vessel to bis rescue. That’s all we knew for hours. When we finally got the story, this was it: Ens. Robert Buchanan of Clemen- ton, N. J., was hit by flak as they were _diving on their target some 20 niiles west of Tokyo. Buchanan himself was not hurt. He kept his plane up till he got over water, but it was, still very much Japanese water. In fact, it was in Tokyo’ s outer bay—the big­ ger one of the two bays you see on the map leading in to Tokyo. Ensign Buchanan is an. ace, with five Jap planes to his credit. He ditched his plane successfully, and got out in his rubber boat. He was only eight miles-from shore, and five miles from ,the big island that stands at the bay entrance. Then the flight leader took charge. He is Lieut. John Fecke of Dux- berry, Mass. He is also an ace, and an old hand at the game. He has downed seven Jap planes. Fecke took the remaining four, of the flight, and started out looking for an American rescue ship. They found one about 30 miles off the bay entrance. They talked to him on the- radio, told him the circumstances, and he. sent back word he was Willing to try. But he asked them to stick with him and give air support; So Lieutenant Fecke ordered the other four to stay and circle above the ship, while he went back to pick up Buchanan’s location and guard him, But when he got there, he couldn’t find- Buchanan. He flew for 25 min­ utes around Tokyo bay and was about to despair, when he- began getting sun flashes in his eyes. He flew over about, three miles and there was Buchanan. He had used his signal mirror, just like it says in the- book, Snatched From Lion*a Mouth In the meantime, the ship’s prog­ ress was slow. It took almost two hours to get thqre. And one by one the aerial escort began get­ ting trouble, and one by one Fecke ordered' them home to our ship, which was getting farther away all the time. . i Lt. Irl Sonner of Petaluma, Calif., lost the use of his radio, and had to leave. ' ' Lt. Max Barnes of Olympia, Wash., got dangerously, low on gas, and Fecke sent him home. Gas shortage also sent back Lt. Bob Mur­ ray of Muncie, Ind. That left only Lieutenant Fecke circling above the man in the boat, and Lt. Arnold Berner of Spring- dale, Ark., flying lone aerial escort for the rescue ship. Finally the ship was past the bay entrance. The skipper began to have his doubts. He had to go within three miles of the gun-dotted island. He was within five minutes flying distance of land, and Jap planes could butcher him. Furthermore he looked at his chart, and saw that he was In “ re­ stricted waters,” meaning'they were probably mined, It was certainly no place for a ship to be. The skipper radioed Fecke and said he couldn’t go any farther, Fecke radioed back and said, “ It’s only two miles more. Please try." The skipper answered and said, “ Okay, we’ll try." And they pulled it off. They went right into the lion’s mouth,, pulled out our pilot, and got safely away. Then, and then only, did Fecke and Berner start home, * They came back to us. three hours after all the rest had returned. They had flown six hours on a three-hour mission. But they helped save an American life by doing so, NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate o f Elva Dinwiddie, Deceased ' Notice is hereby given that F. W.
