Lack of men and overtaxed repair fa- ellities in Australia and the United States make it necessary for the veteran warship te twavel all the way to England. This means that it will be out of setvice for addi- tional months Captain John M. Armstrong, who fought the ship at Leyte and Luzon as part ef our Seventh Pleet, says that the Japan- ese “wamikaze” plane is a “great nuisance and a weapon With great psychological ef- feet,” but that the damage is less than half that resulting from regular bombing or tor- pedo attacks. This is the first comment along this tine that we hage seen and it is somewhat reassuring, but the “kamikaze” planes un- doubtedly score more hits than would be scored by the enemy through regular at- tacks. With this in mind, we should not un- derestimate the damage that results, al- though Captain Armstrong says that if his ship had been hit by “five torpedoes or de- cont-sized bombs, we would be at the bot- tom of the ocean.” Be yourself if you ever hope to be some- broadly The end of the war against Japan will come quicker if we hit ‘em harder. That is self-evident, of course, but let's act. Senator Carter Glass, one time secre- tary of the treasury, and now Virginia’s senator who hasn't done a thing for his Pederal salary except collecting it for the past three years, has a counterpart in Coun- eliman DePoo, who has been on the ‘city payroll for a year, and has not attended the counciimanic meetings. Nor does he spend his monthly salary in Key West, for he lives in Cuba. NO NEED FOR WORRY A Key West civie leader told The Citizew yesterday : ‘ “A good many Key Westers are per- turbed over the outcome of the coming City election because of the state of the city’s registration books.” We informed him there was no need of the uneasiness, as a law had been pass- ed requiring reregistration in Key West, be- ginning 60 days before election day. “T'm glad to héar that,” he stated, “and I would appreciate your looking it up in back numbers of The Citizen.” We went over The Citizen files and’ learned that. HB703, City of Key West Re- registration Act, passed the legislature on May 16 and became a law without the gov- ernor’s signature. Representative Papy introduced two reregistration: bills, both of which became a law, one pertaining to the county and the other to the city. The reregistration books in the county will be opened 60 days before the first primary to be held next May. The civic leader was relieved to learn that the city will have ‘clean books” for the election next November. The same condition prevails in the city’s registration books as it does in the county’s books: hundreds of names of former Key. Westers SPLICE LET Ter ie of persons who have died are still on the books. John’ England, county sapervisor,” has} said that, in eVery: instance ‘where it was possible for him to ascertain, the names of ‘persons who have died hgve been removed from the books, but, in the case of Key Westers who have left town to reside else- where, it is impossible for him or any- body else, except the persons themselves, to know definitely every qualified voter who leaves town to take up his residence elsewhere. Reregistration will bring the city’s and county’s books up to date, and the qualified list, in each case, will be as correct as it is possible to make it. So don’t let us be perturbed when election day rolls aroundy in November ;} let’s, instead, try to! elect “men. or 4vomen we feel will best conserve the interests of the city under our new form of govern- ment. Cynical Definition: An eleemosynary institution is one run for the benefit of the employed personnel. Everyb has an idea about the way to solve the meat problem. So have we, but there is no use to go into it. 8,420 MILES IN 2,158 MINUTES Some idea of the range of the B-29 Superfortress is available in connection with figures released after the epoch-making flight of Maj. Gen, Curtis E. Le May from Guam to Washington, covering 8,420 miles in 37 hours, 37 minutes, including a stop at Honolulu that took two hours and 39 min- utes. The General left Guam at 8:06 a. m. Friday, making the 3,780-mile flight to Honolulu by 11:49 p. m. that night. -For 15 hours and 43 minutes, the big plane made better than four miles per minute. After*thé layover at: Honolulu, the}: plane took off at 2:38 A. M. Saturday for Washington, where it landed at 11:48 p. m. that night. This was a record non-stop flight, covering the 4,640 miles in 20 hours, 15 minutes. The average speed was slight- ly above 3.9 miles per minute. These figures are based upon a dis- patch of the United Press, which we pre- sume uses the same time throughout. If this assumption is correct, the big plane traveled from Guam to Washington at an average speed of three and two-thirds miles per minute, including the layover at Hono- lulu. This is a little better than 220 miles per hour. Recent laboratory experiments show that a flea can live 63 days without food. But who wants to be a flea? ATLANTIC FLIGHTS ROUTINE In 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh capti- vated the imagination of the American peo- ple by making a non-stop flight from Roos- evelt Field, New York, to Le Bourget, the Paris airport, in 33 hours, 32 minutes. The progress of aviation is apparent when we reflect that in less than two years more than 10,000 passenger aircraft have been ferried across the North Atlantic by the Air Transport Command., Sd casual is ja trans-Atlantic flight today that a plane taking off from Europe gets little attention.
