ALASEA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | OTHER PUBLICATION. THAN THAT OF ANY NATIONAL annme;flm — Al American Building, Seattle, Wash. It Happened in China aska Newspapers, 1011 (Omaha World-Herald) At a recent meeting Charles H. Day, the mana- "p,or of the modification center at the Martin- Nebraska bomber plant, related an incident which, lwe believe, deserves wider circulation Some years ago, before Pearl Harbor but after |the Japanese invasion of China, Mr. Day was hired by the Chinese Government to operate an airplane | factory somewhere in the interior of that country | The Chinese employees of this. factory normally |worked a 70-hour week—10 hours a day for seven |days. If they worked longer, they had to be paid | overtime. But before Mr. Day could pay overtime | 3 | ,wages he had to get permission from the Government |at Chungking. This, as can be readily understood, (was a slow proct i One day during an emergency (which possibly | |had something to do with Japanese bombing) Mr. “AUSTERITY” |Day called in his Chinese foreman and said, in ef- lfcc'.: |ly. There is no time to consult Chungking.

Marshall turned down ! the rank of “Field Marshall” he! also knocked over a carefully laid | plan whereby Admiral King would become “Admiral of the Fleet.” . To date only three men have won the title “Admiral of the Fleet'—| Dewey, Farragut and Porter. ¢ . .| Tip-off on the proposal to make King Admiral of the Fleet was so he could outrank Admiral Leahy.' The Super-Cabinet's careful consideration of how big our armed | forces should be was actually a| sham battle. FDR has the “old Dutch up” over the size of the armed forces and wouldn't take anybody’s say-so on this point, ex- cept the Army’s own plan, con- ceived way back in 1938 . The Army in 1938 had no idea whether we would have the ships in 1943 to transport troops abroad, but is sticking to its original plan just the same. And FDR is 100 percent ' behind it. . The Super-Cabinet's consideration of armed strength was largely like the Baruch'scom- | mittee’s rubber report—to make the ' decision more palatable to the pub- | lic. down GREEKS BEARING GIFTS When the Greek-American Order of Ahepa presented the President with a huge stone bust of himself, | Walter Russell, the sculptor, in- quired if the President had any suggestions regarding the position of the bust in front of the Roose- velt Library at Hyde Park where it is te be installed. “That’s out of my hands,” the President grinned. “You'll have to| take it up with the librarian or| the trustees. The library is no| Ionger my property. It belongs to the American people.” | However, the President had some definite notions about when the bust should be unveiled. When George C. Vournas, president of Ahepa, said that the unveiling would be postponed until the sum- | mer, Roosevelt heartily agreed. “If you've ever been to Hyde Park in the winter, youwll under- stand why,” he remarked. “I al- most froze to death the last time I was there.” Since the bust is of heroic size and weighs half a ton, it was not | practical to bring it to Washing- ton from Russell's studio in New York. So the President was given, instead, a miniature of the work. After presenting this, Vournas introduced six other Ahepa offi- clals, 'come to New York soon,” |“to pick up some documents, {can bring down the truck and get| | will save gas.” |how some of them went down to | greater .'to help the Americans, having been | | tipped off |the relatively flat helmets worn by | creased |the troops they saw storming the | Because Americans | German type (now adopted by the |sought after and then superseded The next day the foreman returned and put the money, intact, on Mr. Day’s desk “How come?” asked the American |you pay the men?” “They wouldn't take it,” replied the Chinese. “They said, if the work was important enough so ‘lhat you, a foreigner, were willing to pay for it out |of your own pocket, then it was important enough but we may, and g, ‘that they, as Chinese, shoulg be glad of the rlier and brighter | chance to do it for their country.” This, as we said in the beginning, | China. accepted without luxuries, but also “Why didn't doing without in | as the civilians must entail. happened in who were greatly impressed | swer. by the President’s memory. | To the Frenchmen, this “You gentlemen were in the dela- | “Yah,” and convinced them |gation from Ahepa which called ou had encountered Nazis, not dough- Ime last year,” he said. “I remem-|boys.
