Listen To Them A woman in San Francisco and a ;man in New York said-things the other " day that every American : should hear. They were'nt just talking, talk-ing, as perhaps too many of us are doing these days. They were telling oi things they know about. The woman is just back from the front. She is Mrs. Francis B.

Said Mrs. Sayre: "The only lights we had in the Philippines came from the stars. A burst of sound and we threw ourselves our-selves on our faces.

There may be those to argue with Mrs. Sayre and Mr. Davies, but before be-fore they stop work and start talking, talk-ing, let them prove themselves as well qualified to advise this nation. Let's Not Set th? World on Fire The National Board of Fire Underwriters Under-writers reports fire losses in the United States during January and February totaled $66,384,000, or 26 per cent more than in 1941 for the same period. If that doesn't make you burn, maybe this will: the waste of that smoke and flame represents enough cash to outfit almost 300,-000 300,-000 soldiers, or build 1500 fightei planes, and what we couldn't dc with 1500 fighter planes in the Philippines Phil-ippines or Australia nowl Some of the increase in fires can be attributed to increased production. produc-tion. The more men working and the more plants producing the greater' the chance for fire, but all of us must be more careful about tossing matches and cigarets aside. Let's have lots of smoke and fire and spark, but shoot them at the enemy, not at our own stockpiles.- 1110 III "".-niiimnwMf iiii()iiiHMtti(mianiNNHf Washington Merry-Go-Round Daily Picture of What. Going On In National Affairs 'SrXSnT4 WASHINGTON That shipbuilders are making mak-ing enormous war profits Is not news. Much sensational evidence on this has been revealed re-vealed by several congressional committees. But what is news is the fact that despite these huge profits gross inefficiency, waste and even worse are rampant in many shipyards. ship-yards. In fact so serious has the situation become that ship production has been gravely affected, and the Justice Department and Truman committee com-mittee "have begun quiet probes preliminary to drastic crack-downs. Evidence already in the hands of investiga-tors investiga-tors shows that the worst offenders are the old, established companies, who have been given the bulk of the contracts by the Maritime Commission on the ground that they had the "know-how" to build ships fast and in large numbers. Actually, production records tell a different story. The most efficient yards are the new ones, in many cases erected and operated by men without , any previous shipbuilding experience. For example: The ace plant in the country is the Portland (Ore.) shipyard, one of the Henry Kaiser properties. Builder of Boulder Dam and other giant projects. Kaiser had never made a ship until, as a war measure, he got Into the business last year. Today he has a number of West Coast yards which are turning out ships by the most advanced and efficient methods on a continuous 24-hourr seven-day operational basis. The best of these yards is the Portland plant, manager by his son Edgar. He had never built a ship before and only three of his executives execu-tives had previous , shipbuilding experience. Also only a fraction of the thousands of workers in the yard are shipbuilders. In contrast, is the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co., one of the largest and oldest in the country, which investigators report doesn't even begin to approach the Kaiser yards In efficiency. Bethlehem la described as being the "biggest "big-gest obstacle" to a three-shift system. It has vigorously resisted this on the ground that it is Impossible to obtain enough trained supervisors. super-visors. Bethlehem Insists on two ten-hour shifts, which means a loss of four production hours a day. Kaiser's and other three-shift yards have had no trouble training all the foremen they needed. Why giant Bethlehem is unable to do so is a mystery which the Maritime Commission, Commis-sion, that has so lavishly favored the corporation, corpora-tion, has not deemed necessary to do anything about. . . . AND WORSE Die-hard stubbornness and Inefficiency are only one part of the sour shipbuilding picture. The investigators have come across the trail of other things that emit an odor. Among the charges they are probing are 1. That repairs on a Russian ship, sent over ' for a cargo of urgently needed war supplies, were "deliberately" stalled in one yard for weeks. According to information given investigators, investi-gators, the repairs ordinarily could have been completed in a week. Instead the job took more than & month as a result of "deliberate" delays caused by a constant shifting of workers, as signing workers without tools, withholding materials, ma-terials, and other dilatory tactics. 2. That scores of workers drawing high pay art constantly standing' around idle at another an-other drydock because of lack of efficient production pro-duction methods. Also that "overcrowding and overloading" of ships Is a common occurrence at thisi plant. 3. -That more than 50 high-pay craftsmen ac a third plant worked from six weeks to four months on the private homes and farms of certain cer-tain company executives and that their pay was Charged to the government. Also that. large quantities of shipbuilding material 3,000 feet of cable, copper tubing, paint, electrical and plumbing equipment paid for by the government, govern-ment, went into this private work. Also that a landscape gardener engaged in this work received re-ceived a $1,700 company check. (Editor's note: This is the first of several articles on the shipping program, which is currently cur-rently the sourest spot in the war production picture.)

" CATHOLIC PRIESTS WANTED WANTED American Catholic priests and nuns who can speak French, for service in the friendly Republic of Haiti. A dangerous situation has developed in Haiti, whose people are influenced by French priests trying to undermine Haitian loyalty to the United States. That loyalty is most important, for Haiti guards one entrance to the Caribbean and Panama. Haitian President Elie Lescot is an ardent friend of the United States, and though the memory of U. S. Marines still rankles in Haiti, it was one of the first Latin-American countries to declare war on Japan after Pearl Harbor. Haiti also declared war on Germany and Italy even before the United States.. ...

Rags To Riches the Magnesium Way Revealed In Senate Probe B;-, PETER KDSON Dally Herald Waahinirton Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 7 "One of the most flagrant attempts at war profiteering to come to its notice" is to be given a Washington Wash-ington airing some time soon when Senator Harry S. Truman's national defense has a further look at the affairs of Basic Magnesium, Magne-sium, Inc., Cleveland, O., operating oper-ating company now building a $63 million magnesium plant near Las Vegas, Nev., using the government's govern-ment's Defense Plant Corporation money. A sub-committee of senators sen-ators under Mon C. Wallgren of Everett. Wash., had a preliminary look at Basic Magnesium's layout lay-out several weeks ago. What the senators found there was evidence evi-dence that the company," on an original Investment ' of $50000 to prove magnesite ore deposits claimed from the public domain, stands to make a possible $280,000 per year royalties, plus a posl-ble posl-ble $560,000 per year operating fee, for the next 30 years. Hence the committee's label of "flagrant war profiteering." The story behind Basic Magnesium, Mag-nesium, Inc., , another of those romances of big business, rivaling in some respects the Truman committee's com-mittee's current disclosures on the I. G. Farbenindustrie, or German dye trust attempts to control synthetic syn-thetic rubber development in the United States. As a matter of fact there is even a chapter in the Basic Magnesium. Inc., story that leads back to I. G. K. control of the process which B. M. 1. proposes to use. DAISY CHAIN Up to the beginning of the defense de-fense emergency, the United States had only one magnesium plant in operation, a 9.000 tons per year unit run by the Dow Chemical Company of Midland, Mich., which extracted the metal from Saltwater. Salt-water. Additional U. S. consumption consump-tion of this metal, lighter than aluminum and valuable as an alloy to give aluminum extra hardness, hard-ness, had been met , by . imports from Europe. German . metallurgists metallur-gists had really pioneered the'dc velopment of the metal, but In 1936 a British operating company, British Elektron, Ltd., began extensive ex-tensive reduction of the ore In England, licensed to operate under un-der patents controlled by I. G. Farbenindustrie. In the United States these patents are supposedly suppos-edly controlled but not developed by Magnesium Development Co., a holding company jointly owned by the Aluminum Company ot America and L G. P. Other Industrialists In America also saw the possibilities of magnesium mag-nesium development. Among them were the Hanna interests of Cleveland, Cleve-land, for years operators of coal and iron p rope ties In the Great Lakes area. The Hanna Interests Inter-ests sent engineers to England to study British Elektron operations, with an eye to developing the magnesite ore deposits in Nevada. The result was the formation of Basic Magnesium, Inc., 45 per cent owned by the British who were to furnish the "know-how" of operation, op-eration, 55 per cent owned by Basic Ba-sic Refractories, a Hanna holding, hold-ing, company which in turn owned as a subsidiary, Basic Oreshich acquired. ; the . Nevada -maenesnte deposits if you can .follow- that corporate daisy chain. . . NICE BUSINESS , " Original plans of Basic Magnesium Mag-nesium called for a plant with a modest 5000 tons a year capacity. Then came the war, and the demands de-mands for magnesium zoomed. After consulting the Army ana the Defense Plant Corporation,, th company multiplied these plina graduated by 11 plus, with thl result that contracts were let foil the $63 million plant with a Capacity of 56.000 tons of ore a ycar, -wnicn was announced in mid-August. 1941. Basic Magnesium Mag-nesium didn't have to put up a cent, beyond its nominal costs lor promotion and proving the ore, estimated at from $25,000 to $50,-000. $50,-000. Under the contract, the government gov-ernment retains title to the plant, but Basic Magnesium was given a. cost-plus fixed-fee contract for operation and construction. Basic Magnesium is to receive a $300,-000 $300,-000 fee plus cost for construction and engineering although, according accord-ing to Senator Wallgren's sub committee,, the company had little or no construction experience and though more than SI million is to be paid In fees for construction, construc-tion, engineering and architectural architectur-al services being performed by others. Further, if the Defense Plant Corporation should cancel the contract, the Kovernmcnt would have to pay Basic Magnesium Mag-nesium $1 million and double the royalties on the ore from $1 to $2 n ton, although the Basic Rcfractonrs company is now leasing quarries near Las Vegas on payment of 25 cents per ton royalty.' All this is what the full Truman Tru-man committee will investigate when it opens hearings in Washington. Wash-ington.

Its territory, about that of Wisconsin, forms an lsoscles triangle wedged Into' the middle of Central America, Amer-ica, with the Pacific as the western west-ern boundary . and the Atlantic, he Carrlbbean Sea, as the eastern east-ern .... ' From northwest t& southwest the extension of the Sierra Madre mountain system cuts through Nicaragua, Nic-aragua, dividing it into. two parts which have, as yet, little access to each other. The smaller of these,, the -narrow Pacific Coast region. Is about a quarter of the country's total- area of 57,000 square miles. But here is most of the agriculture of the nation, and nearly half its population of about a million and a, half. Here, too, on the southern south-ern shore of the famed Lake Managua, Man-agua, about 200 feet above sea level. Is Managua, the capital city. Almost completely destroyed by earthquake and fire .in 1931, the city has risen again, more modern but fully as beautiful as of old. The larger eastern section of the triangle is for the most part mountainous. Most of the large rivers emptying Into the uktlantio rise in the central cordiliera region The Rio Grande de Matagalpa flows eastward through a large gap, in the mountain, and in its L--valleys are most of the cattle ranches of the country. Lying placidly between mountains moun-tains and coasts are the two fresh Water lakes for which Nicaragua Is famous. Into them empty the mountain-stream of the western lopes. The smaller of these is Lake Managua, 38 miles long and 10 to 16 miles in width. The other, Lake Nicaragua, is an elliptical body of water' 90 miles long and 39 miles at its widest. It is about 135 feet above sea level and ha always been an important factor fac-tor in the transportation of the country. Davila,' he first Spanish conqueror, called it "Freshwater Sea." From Lake Nicaragua, on its way to the Atlantic, flows the San Juan ricer. Together, these lakes cover nearly 3,500 square miles. These lakes and the San Juan River long have been discussed dis-cussed as possible routes- of a second sec-ond canal linking Atlantic and Pacific. In the day of the California Cali-fornia "Gold Rush" there was lively interest in the possibility. A definite step in the direction of such a waterway is a treaty recently re-cently entered into by the governments govern-ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the canalization of the San Juan op. a. a way for . navigation of ships of medium sise from the Atlantic to Lake Nicaragua and speed the development de-velopment of the whole region. Columbus was the first white . man to set eyes on Nicaragua. In September of 1502, according to the story, nearing the Central American coast on his last voyage, he was overtaken by a . storm. Finding safety In an unknown harbor, har-bor, so great was his relief that he called the Jutting point of land "Graclas a Dlos," (Thanks Be to God). So the northeastern corner of Nicaragua got Its name. Conquest did not follow close On the heels of discovery, however. how-ever. It was not until after Balboa Bal-boa discovered the Pacific and claimed it all in the name of the Spanish king that there was ! begun be-gun a period of conquest and Spanish -rule, to last for three years beyond three centuries. Movements toward independence there were, but the country's development, de-velopment, into a free nation was delayed - by - attempts of various foreign powers to administer the affairs of the Nicaraguans. At last, rid of foreign interference, Nicaragua was to enjoy; a period of tranquility which has been marked by a steady advance in the political and economic life of the nation. oWARQUIZ 1.

Allan sat down on a boulder and watched. He didn't use his glasses for fear. Watanabe would hear about, it and snatch them away again, .but the light was clear, the distance to the large Island a scant hundred yards, and Allan could see the figures on its shore quite plainly. There were two guards, he saw, and between them was the frail form of a bent, white-haired old man. It was obviously ob-viously Kay's father, Dr. John Sargent. The girl waved excitedly, then put both hands to her lips and threw kisses. Her father responded re-sponded in kind. A minute passed, then the guards took him by the arms and half led, half assisted him from the spot. The trio did not go far. They took the prisoner to a door set apparently in the rocky side of a small cliff, ushered him through it, locked it carefully on the outside and marched away. ..."That where ; they stick him every night?" he called. "Yes," answered Kay chokily, and came to sit beside him. Tears threatened. "Oh, Mr.-oh, Allan, can. you get us out of this?". - ."I -.think so,", he--answered confidently.- "May take a little time, of course. Shall ' I tell you my adventures to date?? . She assented eagerly, and Allan plunged into a narrative that seemed to satisfy her, . though it covered no more than a tenth of the truth. There was much , about himself which he could not in duty reveal to her or anybody else. But he told her about' Sun Su, and that cheered her , immensely. im-mensely. Sun Su, she felt, would surely get word back to the States. He mentioned Asia casually ' "That woman!" said Miss Sargent,' Sar-gent,' and sniffed.. "You don't like Asia?" . 1. should ; say not! , IU admit she's a marvelous creature to look at, but Asia is is well, she's too Asiatic, if you know what - I mean.' 1 "I . think I do,-1 vaguely. Of course, I hardly spoke to her at all."' He was, still contemplating that, lie and: wondering just, why he had told it when a movement on the water attracted his attention. atten-tion. "Hullo." he said. "Here comes a launch." "Dinner," said Miss Sargent without enthusiasm. "They send over three baskets of food every day. Do you like fish and rice? If you don't, you can always have rice and fish!" ' "That the best they do for us? IU have to complain to the man agement! I'll bet they" a a a 'J'HEN he was silent in sheer amazement, uuiucr was uicre in a big wieker basket, but beside it on the dock there landed two large suitcases and a couple of cameras. The contents of his room at the Inn of One Thousand Delights! De-lights! He stared at the stuff, speechless. One of the two Jap anese who came with the launch stepped up and handed him a note; then the pair marched off to the bungalow with basket and baggage. Allan tore open the billet doux and spread it Miss Sargent quite shamelessly sidled up and read it over his 'shoulder, her nostrils twitching slightly at the odor of perfume, written in a bold, dashing dash-ing hand, ' the note, in English, was short enough to read at a j-glance. . "My dear Mr. Steele: I thought you might like your belongings. so here they are. I must go to Mexico tonight. Will be . away several days, but am looking forward for-ward to seeing you on my return. Asia." .. - - - 'I don't get it,", muttered Allan, staring at the missive in stupefaction. stupefac-tion. "How did she wangle my stuff out of Sun Su?" "I imagine she's quite a wan- gler. Nice of her, anyhow, to take so much trouble for for a comparative com-parative stranger." Considering it was Lower California st the end of July, the touch of frost In the air was rather odd. "Shall we go in fo dinner?" ' They strolled to the house In silence. By the time he got there. Allan felt he had interpreted the incident accurately. Asia -was getting into his good graces, hope ful of. gleaning any military se crets which he might have picked up from his mythical brother in the - War : Department. That was easy, .but it still didn't explain how she'd hooked the bags from Sun Su., At least, Allan thanked his stars, he could change from a suit which had lolled down a' hill with 'six Japanese! ' V' - ' V piERRE de FONTANELLE ' greeted them at the door with a broad smile and an outstretched hand for the new arrival. ! "Name of a sacred pipe! Is 11 possible another fish has swum into the company's net? Welcome to our cozy island jail!" , "Thanks so much,"' said Allan, returning the smile and the das; of a firm, strong hand. Like Xay. De Fontanelle seemed even more attractive close by than he had at a distance. Allan looked about him as they entered a cool front hall. "Doesnt seem too uncomfortable. uncom-fortable. Will you show me where I sleep? And wash and change my clothes?" "But certainly. Come this . way with me. I observe you have been to the wars, m'sleur! Did you kill some of them, perhans?" "Not a damn' one. ' They jumped me too quickly . Tiens! What a pity! But, better bet-ter luck next time, eh?" They had left Kay and were walking down a hall; the Frenchman halt ed at an open door, and Allan spied his bags on the tiled floor. "Here's your dungeon cell, xnon ami. There's a guard who heats up our food and puts it on the table. You've about ten minutes, so don't delay. Cold rice can be simply awful!" Allan thought it likely, yet he did not set to work on his toilet quite as soon as De Fontanelle had gone. A glance from his one window showed him it command ed a view of the cannery island and the fact Interested him. He took . out his field glasses. which he felt he might safely use here, and focused, them on the door through which he had seen Dr.' Sargent ushered. .He studied' it a long minute, then exclaimed softly.
