On the one hand Secretary of Labor Perkins and the White House itself had been found apparently unweek, willing to scrap the while Thurman Arnold, of the attorney generals staff, had issued the most bitter statement against labor unions as obstructing the war effort that had come out of Washington since the New Deal started. Now, the unions were against the move to end the week, claiming that the only benefit their workers had from it was the extra half-tim- e pay for the usual eight hours of overtime weekly, while business already was being accused of getting huge profits boom for its share of the war-tim- e in industrial activity.

In this assault, British Hurricane gunnery fighters and had brought down 12 bombers and assault on two fighters in a the island, the biggest bag in the war so far. Most significant was the fact that the ack-ac- k boys, the gunners on the island, were credited with knocking the two fighters and 8 of the 12 bombers out of the air.

The riot was started over a shortened ration of sugar in the convicts' coffee. Sinkings continued at a rapid pace along the Atlantic seaboard, though there were not so many on the regular carrying commerce between Britain and the U. S.

A., work upon which has just been begun by U. S. army troops. Mr. Dimond did the best he could. It was on March 28, 1938, that Mr. Dimond managed, by considerable effort to fudge a $2,060,000 allowance for an Alas-. kan air base into the $447,000,000 war department appropriation bill. Congress made mincemeat of the bill and Mr. Dimonds $2,000,000 was an almost unnoticed casualty. He said that if a plane wandered np that way it couldnt find any place to roost over night and reminded congress that it might not be a good idea to leave matters of national defense to the budget bureau. The year before congress had killed a $10,000,000 allowance for an army base in Alaska. Mr. Dimond was a Palatine Bridge, N. Y., school teacher who shoved off to Alaska in the gold rush of 1904, and in Valdez, a settlement of about 300 persons, has been pretty much owner and operator of his little principality. For about eight years he was ngaged in mining and prospecting, and in 1913 took up the practice of law. He was a mayor of Valdez and member of the Alaska Territorial senate from 1923 to 1931. In 1916, he married a Valdez girl and they have three children. Mr. Dimond is s born Joiner and mixer an Elk, Eagle, Moose and what not.

With such a lure at hand, it must have been hard for him to keep his mind on his work, but, in 1930, he was graduated in economics, with honors. The western musical classics fascinated him. He walked out on the dismal science, and persuaded his merchant father to buy him a boat ticket to New York. He landed with only his xylophone, and faced the necessity of hastily converting his talent into food and lodging. His neighbors petition cites him as an American in loyalty and devotion, in thought and in deed.
