O’Shea, Prochaska and Kaz are three names select-
ed at random from the list of gallant soldiers taken
prisoner by the cohorts of the Son of Heaven. Somehow
the trio suggested a Notre Dame backfield of “Fight-
ing Irish.” Or, they might be members of a prosperous
law firm.
But to us the important thing they suggest is Am-
erica. These men are symbols of the land they are de-
fending with their blood because it is a country where
it makes no difference whether a man’s name be Kaz
or Cohen or Montmorency Caswell Blythe-Whittingtori
as far as the essentials are concerned.
O’Shea, Prochaska and Kaz are not Mayflower
names, but they speak of many ships from every realm
under the sun. These boys’ grandfathers and grand-
mothers pinched and saved their pennies looking ahead
to the golden day when they might embark in a crowd-
ed steerage and sail to the land of promise.
Here in America their forefathers found what they
had dreamed about in a narrow, prejudiced Europe—
freedom that exceeded even their deepst longings. So
sweet was their scape from repression and tyranny
that they were willing to fight to defend their children
the new liberty, and in turn tlu ir children are ready
to resist with their lives the dangers that now menace
America.
The roster of prisoners taken at Wake and Guam
speaks more eloquently than a congressman’s labored
words of what the Star-Spangled Banner really means.
In our far Pacific outposts Diederich fought beside Ter-
fansky and Zarlonga and liendenski and Sivko. Japan’s
Son of Heaven and Germany's Son of Hell look just
alike to men such as these.
O’Shea, Prochaska and Kaz carry no banner of racial
superiority and hatred. They are the children of freedom
fighting for themselves and for the free generations
that will be born long after the names of Hitler and
Hirohito have reverted to the dust.
We have to thank the Japs for one thing—they cer-
tainly have helped us appreciate the Chinese.
Being an air raid warden has advantages. You can
stay out late at night and it’s a military secret.
The Japs have large teeth, but it’s possible for any-
one to bit off more than they can chew.
It’s almost time for spring housecleaning. Put on the
suit that you want to keep.
Too many people get their marriage and drivers’
licenses mixed up.

Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON — Now
that Mrs. Roosevelt is out
of the Office of Civilian De-
fense. it can he told now
she got, in. It was her own
idea. Site was counselled
against it by some of the
President's closest advisers,
hut because she felt, that
something had to Ire clone,
that the country had to be
aroused to full mobilization,
dial everyone had to get
busy and do something,
she went to work. She was
told a president’s wife
couldn’t mix officially in
government mc.fteit. Shb
was warned what might
happen. It did.
Melvyn Douglas’ appoint-
ment as director of the un
ii : innately named “War
Council of the Arts” in OCD
wa- something else. Doug-
hs himself had die origi-
nal idea on this booking of
io . for actor-writer musi-
cian. talent and came to
V : -hington to sell the idea
i-i anyone who would lis-
ten. The movie actor had
no idea of doing the job
I in. i II. but when he ex-
i d: i,cd it to Dean James
M. Landis, then executive di-
i titter and now director of
OCL, Landis persuaded
Douglas to stay and do the
job himself.
Ireidentally, other defen-
se agencies like the idea —
though not the name of
chis Arts Council for he
reason it takes off their
necks tlie job of finding
something for all this vol-
unteer talent to do. Douglas
in other words, is :i conven-
ient buck to whom poster
painters, patriotic poets and
pen pushers can be passed.
Donald M. Nelson’s as. o-
i-kites and subordinate ■ af-
fectionately call the Wat
Production Hoard ho.-. “Du-
de Donald'' but not to his
face.
Machinist Moves
.1. S. Knowlson. president
of Stewart Warner who is
now head of the important
Division of Industry Op-
erations in WPB. likes to
think of himself as “just
another jxior old machinist.”
He introduced himself that
way at his first press con-
ference when he explained
soivy: of the headaches of
tiie industry conversion pro-
gram for shifting civilian
goods manufacturers to war
production.
"Overconversion” is one
i f the dangers of this work,
as machinist Knowlson secs
it. For instance, locomotives
have a A3 priorities, tanks
A 1, but if all the locomo-
tives plants are converted
to tank manufacture, what ;
happens when we need some
more locomotives?
Similarly, type writers.
The typewriter industry can
he converted 100 per cent
to war production but it
< seems that even the Army
and Navy and most certain-
ly Washington wouldn't be
able to win I he war without
typewriters. Knowlson ad-
mits the conversion effort
lias ben criticized for lack
of speed. A case can there-
fore Ire madd, lie says, to
give makers of typewrit-
ers A 1 priorities so as to
produce more “critical arti-
cles.” Anri he admits that’s
a rotten pun, too.
Here is one confidential
but authoritative prediction
of how prices may rise this
year:
N <: rwlu rable goods (food
fuel, etc), up 15 per cent.
Durable goods (hardware,
furnishings, etc.) up 18 per
cent, but there may Ire a
drop of as much as f!0 pr
c-erit in the total dollar vol
ume of sales through inabi-
lity to get merchandise to •
sell.'
Services (rent, electricity,
etc.), up 5 per cent.
Hikes For Victory
Don't .look lor the im-
mediate production of those
“Victory” model automobi-
les, tires, relrigetators and
such stuff. The victory mod
cl idea, you’ll recall, is to
provide an economical, start
dat'd design article which
one manufacturer would be
authorized to make during
the wat period only, for sale
by dealers of all manufactur-
ers.
The present theory is to
produce two-year stockpiles
of till these civilian goods
items on which there may
he shortages. Replacement
.-ales will he made on a ra-
tioning basis from these
. .ockpilc. in this period.
Tin victoi v models will he
the next slip, when the
lock piles are gone, or near-
ly gone.
1 n t. and iltnosl the on-
ly industry to get together
on a victory model, was the
bicycle trade. It took the
step voluntarily as a ales
pa emotion idea, and not at
govern inert t suggestion.
Giving It The Gas
Otf.ei iIs of the National
Highway lasers' Conference
have railtd attention to a
surprising 1 fO per cent in-
crease in federal automotive
taxes collec ted by the- Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau in Jan-
uary, 1012, as compared with
January, 1941 $83 million
for th's year as against $31
million List year. Some $17
million of the increase can
be accounted for by the mot-
ir vehicle use tax. which
wasn't on the books last
year.
The big item which cau-
ses the most surprise, howev-
er, comes from the increase
| of federal gasoline taxes
which jumped $14 million
to a total of $37 million.
When you iry to explain,
this, you run into some
strange things. The federal
gasoline tax is paid at the
refinery. Gas manufactured
for use of the Army and
Navy is exempt. Part of the
increase lias gone into refin-
ery stocks and storage
againsi possible shortages
later on, but the monthly
figures on gasoline consum-
ption over the past six
months show that instead of
going down from the July-
August peak, as if usually
does, civilian gasoline con
sumption has risen every
single month over the month
preceding.
Instead of cutting down
on automobile use in the
face of auto and tiie short-
age's, the public has been (n-
ci tasting its use of gasoline
What that means, ultimate-
ly, unless the trtrncl is
checked, is that when rub-
ber and automobile and gas
shortages really begin to
pinch, the effects on every-
day civilian life are goitr to
hurt just that much harder.
