Its range is 2,715 miles, which can be increased by the use of inner wing cell tanks to 3,540 miles. The DC-6, cruising at more than five miles a {minute, will cut the coast-to-coast schedules for pas- | sengers, mail and express to about eight and a half ‘\hours and the flying time between New York and {Chicago to about 2 hours and 40 minutes. | & Nisei Heroes (‘ (Washington Post) | Newspapers which have reached us from the Ter- ritory of Hawaii abound in accounts of heroic services | performed by American soldiers of Japanese descent on duty in the Pacific. We have heard something of the gallantry of these Nisei in Italy. For example, the 1300 men who comprise the 100th Infantry Bat- talion—all of them of Japanese ancestry—have earned 1000 Purple Hearts, 11 Distinguished Service Crosses, 44 Silver Stars, 31 Bronze Stars and three Legion of Merit decorations. But there has been virtually com- plete silence from the War Department concerning the valor of the Nisei in the Far East. We believe their story should be told—not merely in Hawaii, | whence many of them entered the Army, but Here in | the continental United States, where some Americans |have still to learn that devotion to democracy is not |an inherited characteristic. | Nisei soldiers have played a vital and dramatic |role in our succession of victories over the Japanese |in the coral islands and steaming jungles of the | Pacific theatre of operations. Their knowledge of the | Japanese language has been invaluable. And this has been principally because they were so often willing [to incur terrible risks to make it effective. One of {them allowed himself to be lowered by a rope into NEW AIRLINE PI The placing of orders by three major airlines with the Douglas Aircraft Company for liners to cost more than $50,000,000 shows the con- fidence of the air-carriers.in the American Airlines, United Airlines and Pan American Grace Airways, among them, have bought ninety-three Strides which have been made in DC-4's and DC-6's. | one of those huge caves on Saipan which the Japanese irmd utilized as centers of resistance; then by a com- | bination of wit and bluff and bravery he contrived to | obtain the release of all the civilians whom the Japs {bad herded there. In Burma, according to men who | have been their comrades there, the Nisei proved them- | selves particularly intrepid and helpful, venturing into |the enemy lines and throwing them into confusion by speaking their language. They have done no such |deeds for the Navy or Marine Corps, to be sure; | these branches of the service have never seen fit to LANS four-engined air- post-war outlook. the speed and capacity of transport airplanes during i the war years become evident when one realizes that | the smaller and slower of these two types was.the largest land airliner produced in peacetime, and was considered before Pearl Harbor a daringly advanced step in commercial airline scale The DC-4 is indeed a large and capable airplane, | with dccommodations for forty-four passengers and a crew of five, a span of 117 feet and a cruising | speed of 239 miles an hour. It is dwarfed in per- ! formance, however, by the DC-6; which is the com- mercial version of the Army’s C-54 and the Navy's R5D transports. Tested by contsant flights over the long routes between the United States and the battle theatres, this huge plane has capacity for fifty pas- permit their enlistment. The War Department’s expressed reason for its silence about such exploits is that the men’s families, |if still in Japan, might suffer reprisals from the | Japanese. It seems to us a curious explanation. In many cases, the families of these men are not in the hands of the enemy at all but in the hands of an agency of the United States Government. They are | “detained” in “relocation centers” because the War | Department lacks suffient faith in American democ- racy to permit them to return to their homes. And in other cases, the caution strikes us as excessive; it is not applied to men whose families may be subject to Nazi reprisals in Lithuania or Czechoslovakia or Norway. The Nisei have made a magnificent record in this war. Their fellow Americans ought to hear about it—if only to assure their families better treat- sengers by day and crew of five It is equipped with | ment here at home. FROM JAILTO " JAIL JUST VIA " ISLAND THRONE *By EDWARD KENNEDY (AP Feature Syndicate) ROME—When the Fifth Army landed at Salerno last September | and the King and the Badoglio government fled Rome, Sgt. Fer- ruceio Talamonte was one who benefited. He was released from jail. For Ferruccio it was an op- portunity. The Germans were busy | fighting the Allies and not worry- ing too much about anything as| long as it did not obstruct the German Army. Ferruccio obtained German | uniform, showed up at the little island of Giglio, some 10 miles off | the Tuscany coast. Of no strategic value, the island had 2,000 inhabi- tants, mostly fishermen and farm- ers, no military force, only local| Police, the cabineri. He announced | that the full force of the Fascist state was behind him, His German | uniform also impressed the island- | ers since he had added lieuten- ant's stripes to it. A Private Army Ferruccio announced that he had | come to recruit men for the Fascist army. Then he slyly ordered that & home guard be organized and let it be known that volunteers for home guard duty would not be drafted for the army. On this basis he soon had a private army that outnumbered the cabineri and from then on Giglio led a reign of terror. He forbade any islander to go to the mainland en pain of death and imprisonment of his family, so none went. He set up a censorship which consisted of tearing up all incoming and outgoing mail except | his own. He invited himself and his “general staff” to the homes of prominent islanders for feasts in his henor. He held various is- landers for ransom and if they had no money he accepted jewelry. Cousin Te The King By this time, Ferruccio was wear- ing three stripes on a set of fancy uniforms, made up by the sisters of an island convent. He an~ nounced that he had been ap- pointed minister of state and had received the Order of the Annumn- ziata, the highest Italian decora- a Some Folks Only THINK They Are Hard of Hearing If you are temporarily deafened, bothered by ringing, buzzing head noises due to hardened or coagulated wax (cerumen), try the Ourine Home Method test that so many say has enabled them to hear well again.

At the Allied Headquarters, Fer- ruccio announced . that he had liberated Giglio from the Fascist yoke. He had been an anti-Fascist all the time, he said. But some natives left the island too, and they told very different stories to American authorities. An investigation was made and this tale ends where 'it began.

Union leaders should benefit under plane- tary influenees which promote pa- tience and a sense of fairness. HEART AND HOME: This is a favorable date for reaching deci- sions affecting the family welfare It is auspicious for beginning new domestic projects including change of residence. Girls need not expect romance arid should concentrate on work or study. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Plans for the launching of new corporations or for expansions of well-establish- ed enterprise may be retarded at this time because of election un- certainties. The prognostication of continuance of the present Admin- istration in Washington is less positive than it was, since the stars presage surprises, but President Roosevelt continues. under promis- ing planetary conditions. NATIONAL ISSUES: Increased expenditures for recreation will cause criticism. Theatres, night clubs and restaurants will eon- tinue to attract crowds anxious to escape war consciousness. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: A Financial scandal that may af- fect Britain is forecast. This may be great enough to involve foreign | stock exchanges. Members of United | Nations will be charged with waste in war expenditures. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ad- vancement. Opportunities will comé from unexpected quarters, Children born on this day prob- ably will be artistic and yet prac- | tical. They will be affectionate and dependable.
