FRESH FOODS BY AIR When the war is over aviation will have much to say about the dinner table. airplane may indeed be able to use the atmosphere itself for quick freezing. Immediate dscent from a tropical growing field to an altitude o0f,15,000 to 20,000 feet would make the cargo plane a flying refrigerator car. For perishable foods the The role which air cargo may play in the eating habits of the nation was illustrated recently at a luncheon given under the guspices of Wayne Univer- sity, the Detroit Board of Commerce, the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association and eight air trans- port companies. Fruits and vegetables from four countries and five States were served. From Florida and California, from Texas and the Northwest, and even from the Caribbean, sun-ripened products graced this unsual table. Secretary of Agriculture Wickard and Charles Stanton, Civil Aeronautics Administartor, emphasized the implications which underlie such a demonstration. It is not contended that the newer means of transport will crowd refrigerator cars off the rails or bulk shipments from the sea lanes. Hovn— ever, Secretary Wickard among others is certain that there is an opportunity to inaugurate shipments of perishable farm products by air and a promising future for such shipments. . The question of costs, of course, is vital. Com- | pared with the fastest surface transport now used for |« s and tomatoes, air such commodities as strawberr transport costs today are 6 cents a quart and a pound higher, respectively. However, as Mr. Wickard points out, most fresh tomatoes sold at retail during the winter months are picked green, then wrapped and shipped to ripening plants, unwrapped and, after maturing, reassorted and packed. All this can be avoided by direct shipment from the winter growing States, while new packaging for direct sale to the consumer can also save both weight and cosi. There is reason to believe that tomatoes can be placed on retail counters in the winter season by air carrier at practically the same price as surface carr Col. Edward S. Evans, under whose grant Wayne University is making a continuing study of such questions, point out that diminishing direct costs in transport are to be expected as efficiency, size numbers of aircraft increase. According to a recent report by the university, an air'rate of 15 cents a ton-mile might attract 24,000,000 ton-miles of fresh fruit and vegetable traffic, while a five-cent rate might lead to 1000000000 ton-miles of such traffic. Such a rate is by no means beyond the cal- culation of air experts in the near foreseeable future, air and Tale of Sa\agerv D (Cincinnati Enquirer) 1 Little has been said in the United States about the touching—-and /horrible—aftermath in China of the Doolittle raid upon Tokyo. The Japs murdered, as foully as they could, 25,000 Chinese men, women and children in retaliation for the hospitality shown the Tokyo raiders who were forced down in China. The Doolittle squadron had orders not to reveal their exploit until the news was released by Wash- ington. Therefore, when several of the planes de- scended in China, the Chinese had no knowledge that the airmen had bombed Tokyo. They simply con- sidered them stranded human beings from a friendly country who needed help. The Japanese high com- mand demanded the delivery of every flier encountered by the population, but the people of Kiangsi and | Chekiang Provinces paid no heed. They showered | kindness upon the Americans — a number of whom were injured. The Americans, in turn, gave them !such tokens as gloves, pieces of American money, parachutes, cigarette packages. These things were later used as evidence to doom the Chinese. The Japs pushed a punitive expedition through | to the area. The 197th Chinese Regiment died to the last man defending Kiangsi. Finally, the Japs had their way with the countryside. For a month they : wreaked vengeance upon the Chinese. They took the old Chinese who had given Lieu- tenant Watson a bed. They wrapped him in a blanket, | tied him to a chair, soaked him with kerosene and ! | forced his wife to apply a match. Elderly Chinese | who had carried the wounded Americans were given | rocks according to their age—80 pounds if they were | 80—and forced to run back and forth until exhnustedJ {w]m'eupon they were drowned with their weights. In Nancheng they took men believed to have fed the fliers and forced them to eat excrement, then ’ lined them up 10 deep and experimented seeing how | many bodies a bullet would go through . In the same village they tore off children’s hair, cut off noses and ears. In Linchwan they threw families down their wells, In Kweiyee they took the young niece of the | ‘Maym burned her with cigarettes all over her body, | | raped her 12 times and tied her to a pillar in the | scorching sun.

X FOUR F's { Despite all the Army howls for | 4<F"s to get into war plants, it re- mains a fact that physical examina- tionl in many plants is so stiff that they can’t get in. In fact, the phy sical in' some plants is stiffer than in the Army. Many a patriotic 4-F has worn out shoe leather making the roundb‘ of war plants, only to find that he can't get in. A punctured ear-| drum, for instance, is considered | just as important in a war plant as in the Army. | In recént weeks, belated steps have been taken to relax some of these physical restrictions, but much | still remains to be done. So you can't blame a lot of the 4-Fers if they aren’t in war plants. Another difficulty which the War Manpower Commission might well dig into is the fact that anyone can quite work in a vital war plant but, | without a certificate cannot transfer to plant—at least, not 60-day period. In other words, you can step ouL of availability, anpther war until after of an aircrdft factory or a syn- thetic rubber plant and go to work | in a barber shop or at a bootblack | They | are not essential industries. But if | stand, or just loaf at home. you want to switch to a munitions plant, you can't—without a certif- | icate "of availability (which you probably can't get) or without wait- | ing the required cooling-off period of 60 days. SEN. Sen. “Pass-the - Biscuiis - Pappy” O'Daniel has devised a unique in- come-tax-proof method of getting' money for his antiadministration radio broadcasts in Texas. Before he became Senator, he uséd to get contributions by pass- ing a small wooden flour barrel through his audience after putting on & show. Now, however, he gets! contributions for a “campaign of | education for the purpose of dis-! seminating truthful information regarding Government matters. ‘This, according to Texans, is just! a high-falutin’ way of saying that the money is going to pay to help “Pappy” O'Daniel say what he wants on the radio. And since the | it prob- | ably can be deducted from income money is for “education,” taxes.
