Douglas for the operation dilps. Admiral nd has shown j-the qualities o' a leader-- tno ability to pick lable men and to lvc them jiowcr.

Is never a sign weakness or of "''failure when a in high post- lion delegates (thority; on the LIPPMANN contrary, It is a stgn of his strength and of his capacity to deserve success. The President, for example, is now beginning to reap the good fruits of the decision he took month a eo when he delegated his authority over war production t.o Mr. Nelson. 60. in his own smaller, but nevertheless critically Important sphere, will it be with Admiral Land in the days to come.

By this derision the way has been opened to the next necessary steps in producing and operating As regards production, we may confidently hope that Admiral Vickcry and Mr. Nelson wilt move ns rapidly as possible to develop a system of allocations by which a i a will flow smoothly to the shipyards. As resards operation, we may confidently hope that Mr. Douglas will take (he drastic decisions which are needed hi order to nil (he ships of the Unitrd Nations info full military use. We may then, hope i a Admiral 1-anrt.

with his i a authority over all shipping, will de- vntp some part of his mercy to Insisting a better protection is provided for his precious ships and their precious crews. Protection is. nf course, the task of the Navy. It seems clear that the Navy Department is. as regards the submarine, not truly orcanlzed on a war basis, If we loofc upon the stiutjffle i the submarine In American waters as one of the creat naval campaigns of the war, which.

in fact it Is, then we have a rle'nt to ask: who is Ihp MucArthiir. who is the who is the commander In chief on this front? The answer Is that nobody is commander in chief, and that this battle- is bring waged without unity of command. There is no one whose word Is final and decisive over nil the forces encaepd. on shorn, off shore and in the air. The commandants and the Washington bureaus and the Guard and the- Army air force are no doubt trying to en-operate nml to co-ordinate tlirmselves.

But they havp no rrcoenizpd and unm'sputed comniFindnr in this battle. The strusclp Ss not organized as a cam- paltjn of butt I PS, and a is one of the ripicrmlninc reasons why it Is nof. beinp in tiie spirit, of bfittlc.s.

ICONT1NUED ON PAGE iJ RUBBERNECK By HENRV McLEMORE NEW wwk or so ago we wioto that it was vital to preserve as much of the American way of life as was possible without han- ciicapplng the war effort, a this end we Rave I advice as to how Americans could I still enjoy vaca- 1 tions without ever I leaving their own homes.

At the time we I promised that oc- I a a we I would Instruct you how other McLEMORE facets of the Gem of ths Ocean could be maintained. A recent order of the Office of Defense Transportation has provided me with that occasion. We refer to that ODT order prohibiting the use of sightseeing busses for sightseeing. In the future the be utilized for more essential work, such as the hauling ot troops, workers and materials. A wise move, but sightseeing must go on.

nevertheless. We are a nation of sightseers and 1 to abandon Hie habit of going about, staring ar, objects, both animate and inanimate, would he la take another step toward ihe complete over- a i ot this country's structure. As see it, the preservation ol ihe constitution is no more important: than the preservation ot the nature and habits ot the people the constitution belongs to. us change too much and there is always ihe chance that we won't, want a constitution, But (o gel back to busses--and the last one there, is a rotten egg. If we have no busses, we must filghfses without them, We must keep in practice so that when Uie war is over and the busses are returned by the government (just as liot.

hntl stuffy and uncomfortable as they were when taken over, I trust) the citizens will be ready to utilize thrm. As a starter toward keeping sightseeing alive, parents should take their children on conducted tours of the neighborhood. Not on haphazard tours, but on well conducted ones. It would be wise to allow those who are Roing on the lours to vote the night before on what part nf the neighborhood anrl environs they would most like to visit. Then.

ly counting the votes (or the hands if Ihp. visual method of balloting is used, or the nyes if the oral is the four conductor could select section that received Ihe fewest number of votes. To make a tour real, to give it the character of rionest-to-poodness ones, the majority of those who so on it must be dissatisfied, must want to be somewhere else. This makes for that i lack of comaraderie and good icmjHT that provides tours with i rrsl and zing. The comlm-tor the (our must realize that he is the most important member of the lour, the "Bhi Cheese," to u.se a phrase the French so seldom employ.

He win never be good guide unless deep In his hrart ne bctirvcs a he is a more impressive flRiire than any statue or object he could possibly point out, and lhat every person on Ihp tour counts on him to be as witty as Robert Bcnchley. Tlie conductor of the family tour, If he cnres to be authentic, must to imitate the diction of licensed guide, which is the result of years ot boredom, a cleft palate nnrt faulty acoustics. Tills isn't as difficult- as It sounds. If he hasn't a voice which Is naturally unintelligible, he can come close lo getting the same effect by placing a hanrt- ful of grapes in his mouth and talking no us not to break a single one of them. Th? family tour will be made more realistic tf the departure time is full hour before departure a a is to be made.

Tours that leave at three In the afternoon, have there at two. It l-s during this hour's wait, with everyone stamping irp and down nnd JookiiR at his watch and Retting hot. that the members of a ron- riurtect tour develop tiny frictions, the petty hates, that are as much a part of a tour as a lack of confidence in himself is a part ot Mr, Ickes. final ifp to family tour conductors: Point out three dull places for every Interesting one.

CAR.VKGIE NEW BIBLE Lowell Thomas said tc me recently: hist come across a little book that Is the complete expression of everything we are lighting (or.

You'll -be Impressed by the book and UM I story behind it, and I have I mmch it would greatly interest I vour readers." And, he sent nw I that extraordinary i hook. It I fits into vest pocket, and you cun I read it in a couple of hours, yet it I every recorrled word of I man who had 100.000.000 followers. I Us title "The Complete Sayingj of I Jesus." A few years ago a clergyman I took in one hand a stopwatch and in the other a New Testament, determined to discover how lonj it takes to react every recorrled word Christ ever spoke. As he came lo each saying of Christ he clocked its reading lime. At thp end he had clocked up something less than three hours.

William Lyon Phelps wrote of this incident in a magazine article deplormi! ihe fact so fear people ever read all the words ot the founder of Christianity, when they can be read In so short a time. Up In Massachusetts a retired text-book pub- Isner, Arthur read the Phelps article, and knew the answer. So few people read what Christ actually said because so few people are willing to dig his sayings out of all tlie rest of the New Testament. Anrt because he hart been a lifelong Bible student, A Hinds also knew that Ihe Bible contains 173.652 words, that the New Testament alone contains 181.253 words, and that of them only 36.4aO words are the, words of Chiist. He salrt to himsrlf, "The Bible Is an encyclopedia of religion.

But you don't start to educate a. or a beginner of any age with an encyclopedia. Why not lilt all of Christ's words right out of the rest of the Bible 50 that a child or a man can start wi.h a primer--the simple, direct words of Christ himself--with just enough connective tissue from tlie New Testament to make the storv clear and readable?" Now why do I offer you this story? Because If 1 know anything at all about human nature, many of ray mil welcome this little vest txxket book as a "find." For this is no tract primarily for the religious or the literary. It is a working manual flacked i practical guidance for solving the daily problems of human relationships. More than that, it contains the teachings of the greatest of all teachers of the difference between Right nnd Wrong--which is basically Hie reason why we are fijhtlng the Axis.

And because this book Is being distributed on a non-profit basis all proceeds are used to place It In the hands of the greatest possible number of people). I can tell you where to obtain It and what it costs, if your own bookseller hasn't yet stocked It imm 00 A for Practical Christianity! William street. New York City, it will be sent to you postpaid. I know of no better Investment you could make of $1.00 and a couple of hours time; WHY WE WILL WIN By PAUL MALLON worm Is turning in this war. acknowledged superior skill, energy and Ingenuity of the United stales are beginning to aprjew In agRressive action.

You can see It In the battle of the Coral Sea. In arrival unscatJied of a great mass of convoyed troops In Ireland, but particularly in the exploit of General DoolltUe inrl the 70 flyers he took to Japan. Their venture will be Impertsh- Jbly famous, not because of the exceptional military damage done (ive do not yet know how much It was) but because of the IncrecU- We circumstance that they carried bombing attack halfway around the world and escaped without a single plane shot down. The feat was distinctive for three reasons: One--The attack was made at MALLON mid-day In clear weather. The Nazis.

British and others generality have been stag. In? Ihclr bombing raids at night, to get the pro- U'ctlnj- cover of darkness. Even tlie Jap raid on Pearl Harbor was a sneak-up attack at dawn. Two--The 80 Doollttlers did precision bombing. Each man had a (arget designated.

The customary a or this war so far has been what they call pattern bombing. Tlie bombardiers come In upon tar- jets In formation and drop their eggs together, hoping a few will strike home In the right spots The Doollttlers picked the right spots, went to them' saw them and split them from 1,500 feet. Three--Everyone else has been looking for altl- lucie to get away from anti-aircraft fire. They devised even stratosphere bombers with telescopic, bombsighls. General Doolitlle found the answer ther nave been looking tor.

but In tlie opposite direction, He rendered the nntl-alrcraft guns of Japan useless by coming In over Japan at an altitude of about 100 feet or less and staying there until the boys found thvir objective. Of course that Is too tow for actual combing. You arc apt to get caught In the explosion cause. (he objectives, the Dotillttlers went up to 1.500 feet where they could drop an em through the oyos of a. needle.
