SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1942 Army of American Children Sets Oat to Gather All Available Scrap PAGE FOUR SCHOOLS OPEN DOORS TO AID MOBILIZATION Youngsters Launch Campaign to Ferret Out All Old' Steel For Use in Conflict (By Associated Press) A bright-eyed army of America' children set forth Monday to insure their stake in the future in the best way they know how: collecting crap. Millions of them already have been busy harvesting the precious metal Junk but now they were massed on a nationwide basis to Join the scrap campaign led by the country's newspapers. State governors have called upon them to do a complete Job and, as they went about the search for old metal needed by the mills' war furnaces, they had this assuring word from President Roosevelt: "I know they'll do their part." The heritage they sought to keep by sweat and work in the salvage drive was freedom of speech, press and religion. They remembered that because, turdy and well-fed, they were a great democratic contrast to the children of Europe where food is scarce and terror strikes by day and night Many a school declared a holiday so that on the opening day of their two-week drive they could make a whirlwind showing.

ORGANIZED FOR JOB The army of boys and girls in many states and towns was organized for the Job on military lines: as officers, privates, commandos, couts. In Texas they became Junior Texas rangers the first time such a title was permitted because of the seriousness of the job and the reverence in which Lone Star state children hold the name. This was how they were doing it: New York In Albany children turned "detectives" to watch for possible looters of scrap; in Oswego they wrote letters to parents and neighbors, explaining the campaign's purpose; in Falconer they paraded through the village streets, carrying banners appealing to resi- dents to respond to the drive; in i Jamestown they served as "salvage I house canvass, competing for war savings bond prizes. Virginia Two over-enthusiastic Richmond children contributed their furnace doors and grate but their mother didn't know it till she went to make the fire. Georgia The Macon News and Telegraph announced prizes of $650 in war bonds and stamps to the Bibbs county school and a S5 book of war stamps to every school in the county that turned in 100 pounds of scrap per child.

Tennessee Nashville children, in a military framework ranging from a student commanding general to privates, have borrowed horses, wa gons, trucks and wheelbarrows to bring in the scrap. Kentucky Louisville boys and girls will bring to school every morning as much scrap as they can carry. They do their collecting when they leave school in the afternoon. GIVE CASH PRIZE Indiana The Indianapolis News will give a cash prize of $100 to the city school with the highest per capita collection every school will be a salvage depot and a similar prize to the top Marion county school Florida The Orlando Sentinel-Star has organized 49 "junior raid er" groups which already have been crap collecting for three weeks.

At least one day a week no girl will be admitted to school unless she brings a coat hanger, alarm clock, key, popbottle cap, lipstick or compact. Chicago's Holy Name cathedral boys hauled a 500-pound safe to the scrap heap, making skids for the Job by putting roller skates under the slats.

Qeneral Eisenhower Set For Smash at Axis Foes Commander of American Forces in Britain Capable and Full of Enthusiasm By DEWITT MACKENZIE (Wide World War Analyst) LONDON, Oct. 5. Because of a new order forbidding American of ficers above the rank of major to give newspaper interviews, it is impossible to report an interesting chat I had with Dwight Eisenhower, but strictly on my own responsibility I venture to say our two-fisted European commander-in-chief is in damned (if you get what I mean) fine fettle.

One of the world's busiest men, handling one of the world's biggest and most vital jobs, the general still found time to be delightfully cordial. We "talked of many things, of ships and shoes and sealing-wax, and cab bages and kings. I hadn't met the commander-in-chief before, but I came away with a most comfortable feeling of confidence that our front line offensive against Hitlerism is in strong, capa ble hands. One recognized, of course, that it is risky to pin faith to first impressions, and I'm reminded of a remark Borah made about F.D.R. Someone asked the senator if he had heard a certain speech by the president.

As I recall it, Borah replied he never dared listen to Mr. Roosevelt because the latter's hypnotic personality was likely to convince hearers against their better judgment. GENERAL HYPNOTIC Well, General "Ike," as the troops call him, has an hypnotic personal ity. That infectious laugh of his, which sets off to advantage his strong white teeth, is in itself a great asset and is calculated to disarm an enemy. So, having had this glimpse of the general no longer is surprised he is commander-in-chief in Europe at the comparatively young age of 51.

And there's no longer any wonder at the way he zoomed up from the rank of colonel to lieutenant- general in less than two years. Don't forget he was chief of staff to Gen- eral MacArthur in the Philippines I and had much to do with planning defenses which gave the Japanese the bes FORMAL announcements and Invitations to be socially correct should be copperplate printed or engraved.

I watched him manipulate a bat tery of telephones and give quick incisive answers without losing the thread of his conversation with me. It might have been a stage play if it hadn been the stern business of war. I should say that diplomacy is one of the general's inherent character istics, but he doesn't beat about the bush, His approach to any points is exceedingly direct and he never clutters up speech with unnecessary words. Eisenhower is much like our commander-in-chief in the first world war. General Pershing, as I found him on the battlefront, was a straight talker who knew what he wanted to say and said it.

General "Ike" and "Blackjack" Pershing are somewhat alike in another respect as their soldiers will tell you and that has to do with discipline. Pershing used to be hell on wheels in this matter. MAJOR REBUKED During the last war a Yankee soV dier told me he saw Pershing give a trimming to a major who had salut ed sloppily on the parade ground of Caserne at Blois, France. The general backed the major up against a wall and made him salute steadily for several minutes. At the end of the ordeal Pershing snapped: "The next time you salute a superior officer do it correctly." I can't vouch for the story but it sounded all right for it had a Persh ing ring.

I haven heard anything like that about Eisenhower, but he has a very tidy reputation as a disciplinarian himself. Wes Gallagher, correspondent for Wide World and the Associated Press, recently reported the general's code for his men as follows: "We should not make the mistake that morale can be produced by pampering and by lowering of standards to permit greater ease of living." That creed is being applied to our boys in the British isle. They are working hard and intensively, and understanding of the necessity of The first thing that impresses you painstaking preparation for the about Eisenhower is the vividness of bloody task that lies before them. his personality.

They are being trained by Ameri cans and are using American The number cannot be disclosed. but it may be said for the discom- forture of the Japanese that there are enough to form the solid nucleus of a new striking force. SECRET REVEALED The existence of such a corps has been a military secret until now.

The facts were released to correspondents who were loaded into a plane and flown to this hilly tiger country to see the Chinese in action in their camp. The correspondents made the journey In the plane of Brig. Gen. Clayton L. Bissell; commander of United States army air forces in India and China.

Senator McNary, Oregon Republican, made public today a statement from Secretary of War Stimson that the size of public gatherings on the west coast no longer is restricted except near aircraft plants, major military and naval establishments or adja-cents to highway required for troop movements. fetimson said that west coast gatherings had been limited to 5,000 early in the war and added that "regulations specify that applications for the approval of crowds larger than 5,000 be submitted 30 days in advance. But this requirement has been waived so often as to be practically void." "Except for the military considerations mentioned," the war secretary's statement continued, "the size and control of public gatherings is left almost entirely to civilian agencies." Attendance at Hollywood bowl, however, is limited to 10,000, the secretary said, because of restricted parking space and the location on a main highway which might be needed in an emergency.

The big fraternity dance, Martin's birthday and, best of all, her transfer all coming at once like this! She had several days off before she was to start at Good Samari tan. They gave her a chance to make arrangements with Mrs. Pros- ser for a birthday supper after the dance, and to do some personal shopping.

She squandered long-saved money on a dress she felt befitting to such a great occasion. She was exquisite in a pansy-purple thing that clung in all the right places and billowed frothily for the rest. It did marvel ous things for her skin and her fine eyes, and she knew it. Candace was pleased when, at dinner, the solicitbus waiter left them alone. She sat back, smiling at Martin.

"What was it Peter said he had to do?" They had planned to have dinner together, the three of hem, and some girl Peter had asked; but at the last minute Peter had sent word that he couldn't make it. "Some case they've been following went bad," Martin said "They're doing a transfusion." "Tonight, of all nights," she said, ighing a little. "But, then," she added, "he doesn't get stuck nearly as often as you do, at that. Martin stirred guiltity, resentfully. "That's all part of a doctor's life." "Oh, I know," Candace said quickly, "I know! I didn't mean to sound Martin was so darned touchy these days! She leaned forward to little.

"Martin she said softly, "I have a wonderful surprise for you. A wonderful present. We won't have to be separated any more. I've gotten a transfer to Good Samaritan." He didn't say anything. But he didn't look moved, he looked startled.

First startled, and then guarded. She saw, with a sick shock, that he was displeased. All her happiness, all her assurance was abruptly stripped from her. Dazed with disappointment, she heard herself apologizing. "I won't hang on to you, truly I won't If you thing it might be embarrassing, it needn't be generally known that we're engaged.

I thought that with us both in the same hospital, even though we'll each be busy and won't have much time off, it will still be something just to catch a glimpse of each other Then, when Martin still didn't say anything, "You're not happy about it? You're not pleased." Martin said carefully, "I'm surprised, naturally." Nothing more. X3U jaier, wnen tney were in a taxi bound for the dance, he said. "Candace, there's something you should know." With a frightened sense of impending doom she cried out sharply, "No!" Then she tried to lighten that. "You sound so serious, let's not be serious tonight The evening was a failure. No amount of pretending could save it.

Peter didn't show up at all, but she never noticed. Her mind was a blank, she was sick with this sense of foreboding. She was relieved when Martin I finally said savagely, "Let's get out or nere. They went back to Mrs. Prosser's.

At the sight of the table and the cake with its candles waiting to be lighted, Candace shivered. Martin said, trying to be hearty, "Looks mighty swell, chick. Your Idea, I take it?" his heartiness had a hollow ring and her own smile with which she tried to answer him felt wooden. Martin had felt her shiver. "This is the damnedest damp moldy place," he said.

A fire had been laid and he applied a match the shavings and drew a rickety chair close to the fireplace for her.

I looked at aog or ners that was sick, you re member that? Well, the girl was grateful or something and she must have mentioned it to her father and he was too and they phoned me one night and asked me to dinner." Candace made a move as If to speak but he said, "No, wait. Wait until I've told you I felt I couldn't refuse because after all I wanted that appointment.

Oh, I know it sounds silly, But Good Samaritan isn't like most hospitals; pull counts a lot with the appointments. You wouldn't know about that." (Oh, wouldn't she thought bitterly; shed pulled some strings of her own to be near Martin!) "Anyway, Hartshorne is number one boy there, and I felt I couldn't afford to have him down on me. So went." He added abruptly, "I've been see ing the girl occasionally since. The hospital tea had been months before. All this time, then Candace said slowly, "And you never told me, Martin? Why?" He shrugged Impatiently.

"Because I was afraid you'd get upset, I was afraid you'd think it was important. And it wasn't." It was important enough to tell her now, though important enough to have turned her gay laughing Martin Into a guilty, hostile stranger. "But now? Why are you telling me now?" He had forgotten that Peter had insisted on it; that was swallowed up in this new and embarrassing Development. He pointed out reasonably, "If you were to turn up at the hospital suddenly like that, don't you see how it would look? It would look as though I've been trying to put something over "Do you mean," she said, "do you mean you've never told her about me, either?" He laughed bitterly. "The first minute she was nice to me I suppose I should have warned her.

'Don't you go falling in love with me; I'm taken." That would have marked we down as a nice chump, wouldn't it?" Candace flushed resentfully. "All these months since, though," she suggested; but he didn't answer that. She persisted. "You'll tell her now, won't you? You'll go to her, tomorrow, and tell her about me? About us?" Martin swore. "No," he said explosively.

"Going to her, dramatically, like that Suppose she told her father? It might even cost me mv appointment." "Why? Why?

If I didn't feel I was lucky to be free of a jealous, nagging woman" His foot struck savagely at a log and sent It crashing into the fire. Candace felt as though she herself had been kicked.

A crowd of notables visited the supreme court today to witness the opening of the new 1942-43 term which may produce decisions clarifying the wartime powers of the president. They heard Chief Justice Stone pay 'tribute to Justice James F. Byrnes, who resigned Saturday to become economic stabilization director; the late Justice Louis D. Brandeis, who died a year ago today; and the late Justice George Sutherland, who died on July 18. Those filling the court room to capacity included Attorney-General Blddle and Solicitor-General Charles Fahy, both considered possibilities to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Byrnes.

"I announce with regret, In which my colleagues share," Stone said, "the resignation by Mr. Justice Byrnes of his office as an associate Justice of this court.
