assistant chief, served with the Wilmington fire department 15 years before joining the Second Ferrying Group unit in August 1942. Captain Keowen, in concluding his new appeal for additional firefighters, pointed out that throughout the Ferrying Division civilians are sought for the work because it is felt that, on the average, they have had considerably more experience than men who might be drawn from the military ranks. In addition, it is inconsistent with Army police to use enlisted men as fire fighters. "Here a real opportunity to aid one's country right in your own backyard," the captain said.

for bond buyers. From now on, Delaware War Finance Committee officials said, it is a matter of "exerting a little more effort." In a final plea for more bond sales, broadcast overWDEL this morning, Harry O. Gray, manager of the Delaware War Finance Committee, emphasized the significance of the fact that during the drive $6,000,000 in individuals' money has been saved by lending to the government when it might have been spent for luxuries. "Tf rsnon.a in t.hft nast. few days continues today and tomorrow and Monday," he said, "the chances are that the bond sales will soar even higher toward the.

$8,000,000 goal that had been set by the national war finance officials for Delaware. Millions Saved "I am also impressed with the fact that all these millions of people's money are tucked away in safekeeping, as an investment in the future And just now, we all are keenly interested in the future the future is being molded by our fighting men in every part of the globe. "All of us can't help but think of what is going to happen in the next few months, in the next few years. We are thinking of jobs, of homes, of education of reconstruction. Yes, there is a certain amount of uncertainty except this we know that Americans, in lending money to their government, have built up the finest and most impressive record in public savings." "Every walk of life of our state, every race, creed, and nationality in our state took part in this drive," Mr.

Gray said. "This enthusiastic outburst of patriotism and willingness to help has been the bright light of hope that dominated the campaign. "The drive, of course, had its dark moments its moments of discouragement but they were dispelled by the thought that by and large, our citizenry was behind it, pushing it along wholeheartedly. "It should be made a part of the public record, that without those volunteers and their organizations. Delaware today would not even be anywhere near success in the Fifth War Loan drive.

Greatest Obstacle In Drive, "Our greatest obstacle in the cam paign was the feeling that rose in the minds of many too many that the war is over that the conquest of our enemies Is at an end. From one point of view, perhaps, there was some basis for such rea soning erroneous as it was and is. Our. armies and navies were scoring unequalled successes in Europe and in the Pacific.

McNamee. regional director of the WMC, cleared up somewhat the muddled situation as to how the prisoners were per-miti-fd to work in the plant In the first place. "Mr.

Smith," Mr. McNamee said, sent the prisoners into the plant through a misunderstanding." He said the area director had signed a certificate of need with the impression that action had been approved by the United Auto Workers (C. I. CO. "However." Mr.

It's the same first aid treatment for your burns that has proved so effective for war burns. iwo years ago I publicly opposed the nomination and election of Congressman Fish. Statements attributed to him confirm my Judgment expressed at that time.

"Anyone who injects a racial or religious issue into a political campaign is guilty of a disgraceful. un-American act. "I have always fought that kind of thing all my life and always will regardless of partisan consideration. I have never accepted the support of any such individual and I never shall." Fish, who was reported to be in New York City, was not available immediately for comment on Dewey's Quoted On Jews Fish, who announced recently he i would support the national Republi- can ticket, was quoted by Hagerty as having been interviewed by the New York Post and having told a reporter for that paper that "the Jews are mere or less for the New Deal, unfortunately." Continuing, Hagerty read a tele- gram which said the New York pa- per had attributed the following to Fish: "If you want more on that they (Jewish people) are for Roosevelt and the New Deal. I think it would be much better for them if they 1 split their vote between the two major parties.

I don't think a single group should go all out oiie way or the other and I note from the votes of the Jewish districts in tfew York City that the big ma- jority of the Jews are for the New Deal." Hagerty said that, asked to com- ment on a previously published quote that he would carry every town in his district except Falls-; burgh, "because it is 90 per cent a certain people, Fish told the Post i reporter: "Anyone who knows Fallsburgh knows what Fallsburgh is. I didn't think that needs amplification." The statement on Fish was the first made by Dewey since his nomi- nation concerning prospective sup port by any Republican for the na- tional ticket.

Meanwhile Dewey's plans for refurbishing the federal government if the electorate gives him the nod in November were put strictly on a four-year basis today, with the Republican nominee calling for an end of what he classed a3 New Deal "warfare" on states' rights. Listing a series of topics for study by a G.

P. governors conference at St. Louis next week, Dewey said he hoped the Republicans could fix "an area of responsibility to the people," as between federal and local governments, that would settle the problem "not permanently, but for our time, or rather the next four yearc" Bricker at Parley H0 stressed the four-year basis of his program at another press conference yesterday, but did not explain whether he was contemplating only one term if elected. More than a year ago, Bricker proposed a constitutional amendment limiting presidential tenure to one six-year term.

The Republican nominee dumped In the governors' conference pot a wide group of subjects, including several on which the party already had taken positive Stands in its platform.
