To all Americans f.ills the that here was a defense unsurpassed in previous war, stand that for bravery dwarfs any known in recorded history. These men, far from home, their supplies cut off, their food and ammunition running'short, fought with the skill, the daring, thc determination of men who know not defeat, who know only to fight and ight and fight. On the timeless corridors of history arc graven names of those in tattered clothes who endured at Valley Forge; of the hardy ones who fought with Old Hickory at New Orleans; of the stalwarts- who charged the of Gettysburg; of thc shouting battlers who stormed San Juan, and thc Yanks who broke the Germ in line at Bclleau Wood. To these will he added thc names of thc great men of liata.m and Corregidor.

Upon this, th law is clear, and the entire burden is on the rcgi the board "does not seek the registrant, rather he seeks.the board. Draft boards are not required by law to invest! gate the truth of answers in a questionnaire. 1 boards rely upon the truth of answers, Then, if late an untruth is discovered, legal action against tl registrant follows. And the punishment provided law is severe.

Each questionnaire that is filled out and sen back to a draft board is an affidavit, thus bindin the registrant to an affirmation that his answei are true. Further, any change in status must reported to the board by the registrant. If, lor ex ample, a registrant reports has dependents an is i-ivcn a certain classification as a result, and, la 1 er, those dependents U'come self-supporting, he i required by law to report that- change in statu Failure to do so makes him liabl-j for prosecution.

To compel workers in 10,000,000 of whom are now remain ers of unions and to compel employers to dedtr.t the dues from payrolls just as the government itself collects payioll taxes means an assurance of financial stability to the unions that they could lot possibly achieve by their own efforts.

This alliance of the administration and the of- 'ice-holding executives of Ihe unions and the orgnn- zer.s, who also benefit financially by the virtual of income by the government, cannot fail be reflected in Ihe political lineup. Maintenance membership for the unions means maintenance )f 3Vew Deal votes. Attorney General Biddle sees nothing wrong in alliance between the labor unions and the govriimenl: in polities and has said so in his public ppeches, and it may be assumed that he is speaking behalf of I lie New Deal. Tne alliance is, of course, operating in other ireclions, loo. There seems to lie a synehroniza- ion of attacks from the administration on business oncerns at the very time that important labor nion demands are being made on the same cor- oralions.

Thus at a time when the War Labor Board is xamining demands from the United Automobile I'orkcrs, a public smear against General Motors orporation as a whole is issued by the War Pro- uction Board. The corporation, in the period of onfusion last January when auto production was curtailed and stopped, was guilty of technical violations In a small part of its operation. Bui the incident is being used lo attack the altitude of the General Motors Corporations as a whole. Thus when Messrs. Thomas and Reuther of the Auto Workers Union found tho General Motors Corp.

was not ready lo accept their demand for continued payment of double time on Sunday and incidentally which has boon declared taboo hy President union officials issued a blast, as follows: "Only a few days ago General Motors was found guilty of defying the War Production Board by using critical war materials to manufacture passenger ear parts. We do not understand how General Motors gets the idea it is above the government of the United States." Certainly this is a strange way to describe the refusal of a company lo accept a demand which in itself is out of harmony with the President's own pronouncement against double time. Certainly the sudden series of attacks on large corporations for minor and technical violnlior.s creales a suspicion that there is an effort under way to force all the big companies to accept the demands of thc labor politicians or suffer attacks, from governmental agencies interested in fostering the labor union- governnienf alliance. The War Labor Board's power to compel main- lenance of membership in unions may soon be questioned in (hc courts by Ihe Inland Sleel Co. Rcporls are current that injunctions may he sought on the ground that maintenance, of membership proposals iut into employer contracts under duress contradict provisions of the Wagner Act which declares that such agreements discriminating between workers must be voluntary to be lawful.

Thc War Board has been blazing a trail on union issues in more ways than one. The other day the board introduced shivers of apprehension Into industrial establishments by its support of the "check-off" of union dues. The hoard ruled that "in view of thc fact that the company has made voluntary dues deductions for purposes other than social security taxes as required by law," the check-off must be granted by the employer. It so happened that Die company In question once checked off ten ecu Is a week for a social club in one of its plants. Does this mean that employers who are now deducting payments for War Bonds for the Treasury on purely voluntary basis may be creating precedent for future war Labor Board decisions? Certainly the Treasury Department has jelling a ruling on this point, lost the incident furnish one of a number of arguments.

Dynamic Assistant War Secretary John McCloy has just come hack from an inspection trip to Pearl Harbor where he reports that it still Is absolutely essential (o use Japanese labor to help erect Hawaii's bristling defenses. Just after Pearl Harbor, the War Department issued an order removing all Japanese from defense work in Hawaii.

Bui il is impossible to tost. Jhe loyally of others. However, to get the vital defense worl- done in a hurry, the War Department is convinced there is no other out than to use Jap labor. Furthermore the alternative ol deporting Hawaii's huge Japanese population would be a tremendou: job. They can't be shipped to California.

And they can't be sent to a separate island, where they migiil establish a landing base for Japanese attack. So Ihe present, solution is lo leave them where they are, carefully guarded Meanwhile, Pearl Harbor is on the alert with more protective devices than ever before in history. Every hour of the day and night patrol planes scour the air around the islands. No fleet, either hy sea or air, could approach Hawaii undetected. Trouble Ahead The day after Leon Henderson issued his sweeping price freezing order, Ihe President asked bin 1 "How are yon getting on?" "Well, I'd put it Ibis way," said Henderson with grin.

"I feel like the boy who threw a rock through a window and Is sure something is hound to happen." IlilbiKin IN Throiiuli lie hasn't announced It yd, but the'former war labor chief.

C.i named Tom Morgan, invested his chief capital 51.25 in a ticket to Newport News, packed his things in a poke, and joined the U. S. Navy. At the same time his interest in aviation was aroused by reading o.f Ihe first flight of the Wr'fjht brothers at Kittyhawk N. C.

Last week, after four decades, the ex-telegrapher from North Carolina wrote a letter to the Secretary of War stating that, his company wanted to refund $100,000.000 to the government'because if was making loo large a profit on war contracts. During the inlerim, young Tom Morgan had served four years on the battleship Delaware, where hc met Elmer Sperry, inventor of the famous gyroscope on the Delaware, nnd Sperry liked his work so much that, after his four years' enlistment terminated, Morgan was offered a job as foreman in the Sperry plant. S'nce then he has become bend of the Sperry Corporation, helped organize Curtiss-Wright, and is chairman of Pan American Airways. But Morgan never lost the human touch. And in these days when we are scrutinizing the type of manpower this nation has developed and the kind of democracy we have built, it is significant (hat the ex-telegrapher nnd ex-sailor from North Carolina not only to the top, but was one of the first to rebate profits to his country in lime of (rouble.

May 7, 1892 Flood conditions loomed the Upper Mississippi with all tributaries of both thc Father of Waters and the Missouri reported bursting the banks after a new sequence of rains. The lower river was already at flood stage. At Alton, the Mississippi after gradually subsiding five feet had taken a new upturn that, in three days caused it to pass the earlier high point.

During the day, (lie water had been coming up two inches an hour. Levees had broken at many points on the Illinois. A government war vessel, Concord, had been sent to Memphis for a bridge opening ceremony, and, with the river at high stage, efforts were being made to induce the Secretary of the Navy to have the craft come up-stream as far as St. Louis. A new railroad company, the St.

Louis, Chicago St. Paul, which bad been incorporated in Illinois, was seen as the likely purchaser of the Bluff Line, soon to be sold under, a court order. Incorporators of the new line were Henry O'Hara, St. Louis, Anthony Isch, East Louis, and Royal Clark J. Elmer Whitney of Alton.

The company proposed to construct a line from East Louis to Alton, and thence to Springfield over a route of similar general description to that of the Bluff Line. Marion Gleason, a workman at. Alton Lime Cement Co. quarry, suffered a leg injury when he stumbled causing drill to fall on him. Dr.

The lot, 120 by 120. was unimproved in 183G, part of it a steep slope ending in a hollow, yet it sold at $1500.

The panic of 1S37 wiped out inflated values, and in 1847, Mather related, he bought the lot for 5400.

NOISE WASTES NERVOUS ENKRGY This article is being written in answer lo a request that I discuss the problem of noise. The original request comes from person living in an apartment house in a crowded city, who complains that the noises of radios and the rackets made by passing automobiles, are preventing sound sleep and promoting nerve fatigue. It is true thai, a human being jr.ny waste an enormous amount of energy by listening lo dis- tracling noises. The effect upon the nervous system is apparently more marked in those who arc naturally of a highly strung, nervous temperament, but even the placid individual will in time notice that he is annoyed by needless clatter. Scientific experiments have determined that loud noises will arouse fear in infants and it seems as though Ihe fear of noise is one of Ihe Iwo natural fears with which we are born.

After we grow up, unexpected noises probably still have the power of stirring up a fear roaelion within the body, even though perhaps we are not conscious that we are reading in jusl that way. Other experiments indicate that continuous noises create fatigue and reduce efficiency. In the larger cities, noise is a distince problem because of concent ration of Industry. 1 Especially in offices, where many are working together and where racket of typewriters and telephones add their contribution, the noise problem is acute. A unit of measurement for noise is called a decibel and the noise in Ihe average office runs about fiO decibels.

It has been found easy to fool tho human ear in regard to Ihe amount, ot noise reducing certain kinds of noise a little more than one-fourth, the listener believes it has been re- War prices were hitting walnut logs and one log cut at the old J.
