Share-the-Ride Scheme
Hat Blowout in West
OAKLAND, CALIF.—The unique
ahare-the-ride system set up in the
East ban Francisco Bay area—it in-
volves auto placards and designated
ride-thumbing stations — attracted
national attention so the Civilian De-
fense council thought it would check
UP on results.
The program was started after the
area discovered its automobiles were
carrying an average of only 1.76 per-
sons apiece.
After two weeks of the new sys-
tem, Chief Co-ordinator John Marr
of the Defense eouncil reported, the
average is 1.76 persons.

Thriller’ Novel
Betrays Murderer
Of English Woman
Author, Who Wrote Story
While in Prison, Given
. Death Sentence.
LONDON.—In a “thriller" novel
he Wrote in prison while awaiting
trial, the accused man. Reginald
Buckfleld, a royal artillery gunner,
known to his comrades as “Smiler”
Bucklleld, betrayed his guilt by a
complete reconstruction of the crime.
That was the contention of the prose-
cution at the man’s trial at the Old
Bailey recently.
The tiUe Bucklleld gave the “thrill-
er" was “The Mystery of Bronppton
Road.” The real victim of the flay-
er was Mrs. Ellen Ann Symesf who
was stabbed while walking in
Brampton Road, a lane not far from
her home at Strood, Kent.
Child Gives Hint.
First hint that Mrs. Symes had
been murdered by a soldier was giv-
en by her three-year-old son. Robin,
who told the police: “A soldier came
up and said to Mummy, I am going
to kill you.”
This led to a search by police and
military throughout southeast Eng-
land, and one of the first of 6,000 sol-
diers questioned was Bucklleld, who
had been arrested as an absentee
the day following the murder. More
than 2,000 civilians were slso inter-
rogated.
Counsel for the defense argued that
it was absurd to assert because there
were in the novel some facts and a
great deal of fiction that the author
was the murderer.
Said one prosecutor:
“Could any person other than the
one who murdered the woman con-
ceivably have compiled the docu-
ment? If Bucklleld were completely
innocent, could he have perpetrated
all the coincidences of detail you find
in this story?”
The jury did not think so and
the soldier was sentenced to death.
Grins Cynically.
Bucklleld lived up to his nickname
throughout the trial, the newspapers
•aid. Even when the judge was
passing sentence “he grinned cyn-
ically around the court and laughed
at he was escorted by warders to
the cells.”
In his “novel,” which was written
on scraps of paper and on margins
of pages torn from Punch, Bucklleld
wrote of the murder of a woman
whose husband was a night worker
—Mrs. Symes’ husband was on night
work. He spoke of the woman's
“baby”—Mrs. Symes was wheeling
her son in his push-chair when mur-
dered. Finally, the time of the mur-
der in the thriller was, as nearly as
could be proved, the time of the
murder of Mrs. Syrnes. The story
concluded:
“That, my dear friends, brings it
to ’Girl Murdered by Person Un-
known.' We hope the police will suc-
ceed in their duty to find the murder-
er, so as to clear myself, Gunner
Bucklleld. This is a partly true story
end partly fiction, showing you how
easy it is for an innocent man to
be convicted of crime, and what
could really happen.”

IT'S around the halfway mark
I the two big league pennant races.
Looking back, there have been any
number of unusual features, beyond
all April predic-
tions when the 16
clubs were strug-
gling through the
coldest spring in
many years.
If any one should
care for our top
nomination from the
ranks of the unex-
pected, it would be
the showing of the
Phillies under the
smart handling of
Bucky Harris.
Second choice, on the bizarre line,
would belong to Washington's Sena
tors who were not expected last
April to be within 12 games of the
Yankees at thia sultry summer spot.
The third nomination would go to
the Dodgers who have been crowd-
ing the Cardinals most of the way
with a pitching staff that has been
packed with kinks, off and on.
Back around the middle of April
when there was still frost in the
cold winds, we figured the Cardi-
nals and Yankees had enough mate-
rial to pull away from the two packs
by early June.
Both had lost many stars—Terry
Moore, Johnny Beasley, Enos
Slaughter, Joe DiMaggio, Red Ruf-
fing, Phil Rizzuto and others, but
both still had enough left to take
charge.
So far it hasn't happened that
way.
The Real Miracle
If there Is any such thing as a
miracle, the award must go to the
Phillies.
They looked moth eaten In 1942.
They looked even worse as they
faced the present scramble.
When Bill Cox bought this fran
chlse there was a general belief that
he would have to wait until the
war was over to get any part of
his money back. After all, yon can't
eat a franchise, or play it in the
Infield or outfield.
Bets were made that the Phillies
in their 77 home games wouldn't
draw out 250,000 customers.
But the Phillies have already
passed their 1942 total in the way
of admission and they are sure to
double the turnstile count of other
years.
While the Yankees with a number
of star veterans back, plus a good
looking pitching staff, were rated
well above all American league op-
position, few gave the senators any
first division chance.
The old slogan was again in evi-
dence—“Washington—first in war,
first in peace—next to last in the
American league.”
The Browns and the Cleveland In-
dians were supposed to be on
Yankee heels.
Only Connie Mack and Clark Grif-
fith refused to concede the Yankees
any winning margin.
Manager Blucge came popping in
with such pitchers as Candini and
Carrasquel, some pretty fair hit-
ting, and a club of hustlers.
So far no managers have turned
in a better job than Bucky Harris
and Ossie Bluege, both old Washing-
ton stars.
In some way these two have side-
stepped the well-known “Washington
Muddle,” applying to everything
else. Apparently outside of General
Marshall and his staff, Bluege has
put out the best job in Washington.
Another High Spot
There has been another high spot
at the halfway mark—a high spot
from a low spot.
This is the sad picture of Cubs
and Giants battling for the tail-end
title. To have the Senators and Phil-
lies up there, punching with both
hands, as Giants and Cubs trail
the entire field, Is something no one
has yet seen, at least as far as we
can recall any such Nalional league
turn.
The Cubs, at least, with whal
looked to be a good pitching staff,
have been the main shock to most
of the soothsayers. After Johnny
Mize and other Giant mates depart-
ed, Mel Ott wasn’t given much of a
chance to go anywhere, except
downhill.
The two races have been more
interesting and have produced bet-
ter baseball than many expected
with so many stars absent in serv-
ice uniforms.
But for all that the fan crop has
seen good baseball and two of the
closest pennant races in many
years.
Baseball will have a little trouble
through the rest of the 1943 season.
Recent Allied Success in Undersea War
Is Result of Coordinated Campaign
Improved Weapons,
Better Use of Old,
Defeating Subs
"The submarine was utter-
ly defeated in May,” Prime
Minister Churchill stated tri-
umphantly in a recent ad-
iress. The first lord of the
admiralty amended this by
announcing that the British
iavy had set a new record in
that month for U-boat sink-
ings, and that losses now ex-
:ecd.ed German production.
Thus the gravest threat to Allied
success, the submarine campaign
igninst shipping, is being answered,
as it was in World War I. Success
is coming faster than anyone dared
lope a litUe while ago. In April
\dmiral King of the U. S. navy pre-
dicted that the submarine danger
would be brought under control with-
n four to six months. Secretary of
Vavy Knox a few days later said
'bat the increasing numbers of de-
stroyers now guarding convoys
would soon have their beneficial ef-
.'ect.
The peril to the "bridge of ships"
carrying war supplies to Europe and
the Orient is not being met by any
me “secret weapon.” Destroyers,
airplanes, cannon, radar, helicop-
ters. balloons and many other war
machines are being employed in
combinations best adapted to the
task.
The change for the better has
come rather suddenly. Only last
Jar'-ary the tremendous losses in
shipping tonnage were causing ex-
treme concern in Allied war coun-
cils. Almost a million tons a month
was being sunk last year. Charles
E. Walsh, chief of the maritime pro-
curement division, has revealed that
over 11 million tons went down in
the first year of war. The Mer-
chant Marine reports that nearly
5.000 men have been lost in the last
20 months. Until very lately, there
was little light through the dark
clouds.
Ships Getting Through.
Now the great fleets of merchant
ships are arriving in Allied ports
with small losses. The protection
devised by the navy is succeeding.
A convoy, which may consist of
hundreds of ships carrying ammu-
nition, food, plane parts, oil and
thousands of other war materials,
as well as troops, offers many tar-
A HELICOPTER LANDS—Settling slowly on the spsre marked out as Its
landing “field” on the deck of a Victory ship, this helicopter mskrs a per-
fect landing. This peculiar aircraft can rise and descend almost vertically,
and can hover ever the water, spotting submarines.
The Unbeaten
Ail the super horses of late years
have been beaten once or more. This
includes Man o’ War, Count Fleet,
Alsab, Seabiscuit and Whirlaway.
But there are still five unbeaten
horses In the records that go well
back, according to Clem McCurthy
Here Is Clem's list—
Norfolk—1864.
Asteroid—1864.
Trcmont—1886.
El Rco Rcy—1889.
Colin—15 races—1907 and 1908.
LIKE A DUCK'S BACK—The new

and warm under all conditions,

gling ropes, and a red signal light

tention of rescuers are attached to
the shoulder.
gets for enemy submarines and tor-
pedo planes. Destroyers, ranging
along the flanks, and ahead and
behind the convoy, are the usual
defenders of the slow and helpless
freighters, tankers and troopships.
But the "greyhounds of the sea"
have a lot of auxiliaries under the
new system.
One of these is the corvette, a
small merchant ship converted to a
light warship. It can function much
as the destroyer does, although it
does not have its speed or maneu-
verability. Then there is the air-
craft carrier, which is accompany-
ing large convoys lately. Plnnes
from the carrier can patrol i wide
circle and prevent any enemy sur-
face craft from surprising the con-
voy.
That new marvel, radar, can lo-
cate enemy planes and submarines
with amazing accuracy, in fogs or
at night. Destroyers are being
equipped with radar now. Listen-
ing devices to detect submarines by
the puTbaHions of their propellers,
have baen In use for some time, so
the officers in charge of the de-
fensq of a convoy have several
means of knowing when the enemy
is approaching.
Only about 500 miles of the voy-
age between the United States and
British ports is beyond the range of
land based aircraft, according to
Secretary Knox. The patrol planes
of the Allies can protect shipping
within an arc six or seven hundred
miles in radius.
Ships Mount Heavy Guns.
Convoys are so large, however,
that despite all sorts of armed
guardians, some ships will be at-
tacked, and perhaps damaged or
sunk. Often too, a single merchant
ship has to travel without escort to
enter a small port off the regular
run, or for a number of other rea-
sons. Merchant ships have long been
accustomed to mount some cannon
in wartime, but against modern en-
emy craft, ordinary seamen have
little chance to use their weapons
effectively. The maritime commis-
sion has ordered every American
ship to carry a five-inch gun. A
crew from the navy mans the piece,
which is deadly to enemy subma-
rines and destroyers, or any vessel
with thinner armor than a cruiser.
Ships are protected against air-
craft by anti-aircraft guns and .50
caliber machine guns. Expert navy
crews also handle these ordnance.
Submarines and planes are reluc-
tant to get too close to a ship that
can defend herself, and torpedoes,
bombs and gunfire aimed from a dis-
tance are less accurate.
A barrage balloon is now being
added to the defensive equipment
of merchant ships. The balloon
trails steel cables when in the air,
thereby preventing a divebombing
plane from getting too close to the
ship, or from running along it and
strafing the crew with machine gun
bullets. The gas bag is raised and
lowered by a cable attached to a
winch near the stern.
Last month the maritime com-
mission and the War Shipping ad-
ministration decided, after a sue
cessful demonstration, that helicop-
ters can be employed to give added
protection to individual ships. Ev-
ery new Liberty model ship will
carry a helicopter, according to
present plans. As these peculiar
aircraft can rise and descend almost
vertically, they can operate from
a small area on the deck of a ves-
sel. Whether the ship is part of a
convoy or sailing alone, the helicop-
ter can hover around, watching for
the enemy.
Some Sinkings Inevitable.
Ships will be damaged and sunk,
however, despite all defensive pre-
cautions and efforts. Some are
wrecked by, storms, or are smashed
on rocks or icebergs. Even when
in a sinking condition, nevertheless,
a ship may sometimes be saved by
some of the safety features that are
part of a modern ship. If the ship
must be abandoned, other emer-
gency features help to save the lives
of the crew.
Many safety devices have been
added, and old ones have been im-
proved. Several have been built
into the ship itself. The maritime
commission found that men were
hurt frequently in the dark passage-
ways when the lights went out after
a torpedo had struck. Luminous-
paint signs now mark all passage-
ways and exits, and directions point
to ladders and indicate the switches
of emergency lights.
Crash panels must now be put into
every door, b.v coast guard regula-
tions. These are sections of thin
wood within every door, that can be
smashed out by trapped crewmen
leaving a space big enough to per
mit escape.
To preserve the nerve centers of a
ship as long as possible, the pilot
house and radio shack are covered
with reinforced concrete and steel
capable of withstanding submarine
shelling.
Latest h Life Boats.
Finally, when seamen have to
abandon ship, the latast and best in
life-saving equipment comes into
play. By orders of the coast guard,
the life boats are always kept swung
out and clamped against canvas-cov-
ered cushions. The ropes holding
the boats are secured by a single
“pelican" hook which can be tripped
by simply releasing a catch allow-
ing the boat to be lowered into the
water in a minute or two.
At the same time a boat is low-
ered, a life net, kept rolled up
against the side of the ship just be-

Is it true that a soldier is always
I hungry?
Yes—up to a point. But the Quarter-
master Department has found that
some soldiers, particularly new re-
cruits, actually don't eat enough.
The Army mess table Is exactly
like a football team's training table.
The food served there is carefully
planned to aid in the physical devel-
opment of the soldier. And the Army
has discovered certain little waya to
ncrease Johnny Doughboy's appetite.
The Army has found it can add to a
soldier's enjoyment of his food—and
therefore increase his consumption of,
all those carefully prepared vitamins,
minerals, and proteins—if he is al-
lowed to smoke during meals. Meas-
ured tests run by the Quartermaster's
Department show that food consump-
tion actually Increased by 5% when
soldiers were permitted to smoke cig-
arettes at the mess table.
"Smokes." of course, play a prom-
inent part in many phases of the life
of a soldier. Whenever you see a
news photo of soldiers at ease, you're
apt to sec them enjoying a cigarette.
Particularly among American troops

cigarettes—are highly prized and al-
most never present in sufficient
quantities.

low the boat deck, is released. Three
or four men can scramble down this
net at the same time.
Merchant ships must also carry
liferafts, since the boats may be
damaged by shells, or the sinking
ship may be leaning so far over
that it is impossible to lower life-
boats on one side.
Boats Carry Radios.
A portable sending and receiving
radio set must be included in the
equipment of at least one lifeboat on
every ship.
Water rations on each boat have
bean increased from three to ten
quarts per person. Fourteen ounces
each of pemmlcan, malted milk
tablets, chocolate and type C army
ration biscuits must be included in
every boat for each person.
Rubber lifesaving suits are Is-
sued to each member of the crew.
Besides keeping a man dry while in
the water, the suits give protection
against exposure in a lifeboat or
raft. Attached to the shoulder of
sach suit is a jackknife with which
a man can free himself if he is en-
tangled in ropes, and a police whis-
tle and a red signal light to at-
tract the attention of rescuers.
So the perils to Allied shipping are
being combatted successfully by
combining all known resources of
warships, planes, guns and radio.
The war goods are getting through.
The ships are arriving safely. But
when a ship does go down the brave
seamen have a much better chance
of living to sail again than ever
before, thanks to ever better equip-
ment.
FOR SHIPWRECKED SAILORS—
The boat has built-in air tanks that
render it non-sinkable, and there are
grab-rails fastened to the bottom, so
that seamen can hang on if it over-
turns. A bright red triangular sail
is part of the accessories. Canned
fond and drinking water, a fishing
kit, a first aid outfit, and a machine
for making sea water drinkable, are
part of the supplies and equipment
shown.
