YORK McCJurr Newspaper Syndicate. WNU Features GATES sat straight as WALTER although It was nearly four hours since he had started wait-ing to see the managing editor. He was poised hopefully on the edge of the chair, as If he expected each minute might bring back the copy boy with the news that Mr. Pool was ready to see him about the re--' porting Job. But. instead, the photographer came around the corner fur the fourth time from the direction of the clacking city room. Walt stopped him. "You'll never get to see the old man sitting here, Matey," the photographer informed him. He hates appointments. Funny that way." "Then how does anyone ever see him?" Walt inquired. His forehead was furrowed deeply, up to the line of his thick blond hair. He explained he had had a little reporting experi-- i ence before Army service. Now that he was discharged, he wanted to get back into newspaper work. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, proving to himself again that the artificial legs they pass out these days are no handicap. The photographer stepped closer to Walt and spoke softly from the corner of his mouth. He suggested Walt break In on the chief. "But don't let on you know who he is," the photographer schemed. "I know a guy who got a job that way, only he didn't know he was talking to Pool, see? "But I couldn't do that," Walt pro-tested. "What's to stop you? Pool's a quiet guy, but he likes 'em bold." i "... But I think the paper Is too neutral." As Walter descended to the press-room where the chief was, the acrid odor of the etching acid reached him. He had always thought lt dis-pleasing. But now he recognized it as part of the nostalgia every en-thusiastic reporter has for a news-paper office. It was akin to the un-kempt appearance of city rooms and the crippled typewriters about which the reporters always complain. Walt casually observed the blur of newsprint threading through the presses and, pretending he belonged there, from the corner of his eye he hunted for Mr. Pool. All the men wore the handmade boxlike caps which most pressmen fashion for themselves from a piece of news-print paper all except one. Walt looked at him more closely. He stood with his hands behind his back, doing nothing but observe moaning machines. He fitted exactly the photographer's description of Mr. Pool. He wore large black-rimme- d glasses and his graying hair was parted far to one side. Walt strolled casually up to him and they watched the presses together. After waiting for Mr. Pool to speak first, Walt ventured: "There's no end to the excitement of seeing the paper go to press, is there?" He had to shout to be heard. The man merely glanced at Walt coolly over the dark rims of his glasses. "I like the Post." Walt resumed. "It's a good solid paper. Lot of tra-dition behind it But . . . heie's where he took the photographer's cue. He searched for ideas that were not his own. ". But I think the paper Is too neutral. It never gets excited about any-thing. Know what I mean?" There was still no remark from Mr. Pool. "It ought to have definite policies Ought to guide the thinking of its readers on important topics." "Yeah?" The man looked Walt sternly up and down. "I think the Post needs new blood," Walt went on. "Young blood." He considered giving him-self as an example, but decided against being too obvious. "Of course it's the men at the top who count where policies are concerned. Perhaps the Post needs a new man-aging editor." He was sorry as soon as the bold words had passed hit lips. But his comments had brought the man's head around with a Jerk But now, with Mr. Pool at him in glaring apparent anger, Walt could only add weakly, "What do vou think?" "I think you're batty as a loon " Walt felt his cheeks burn. He sought some way to escape as gracefully as possible. "But I wouldn't know the man added. He brought his hands from behind his back and placed a boxlike paper cap on his head. "I'm only a pressman my. self." Take Mij Word For It! By FRANK COLBY avntmssnsannssssrixmnsL HANDBOOK OF PRACTICAL ENGLISH Q. In our office we have almost come to blows over the word "whereabouts." Is it singular or plural? A. Whereabouts is a peculiar word. It Is plural in form, but since It means "the place where a person or thing is," it must be treated as a singular, for obviously a thing ' cannot be in more than one place at a time. Correct: His whereabouts is known. On the other hand, headquarters is customarily used as a plural noun, as: His headquarters are in New York. Q. There has been much discus-sion among us concerning the use of "any more" in such sentences as "John isn't nice to me any more." Please discuss. A. Use of "any more" to mean "still; now; nowadays" is dialectal, and it appears to have originated in the North Central States. It is fre-quently heard in parts of Indiana. "Any more" is correctly used in negative sentences as: John is not nice to me any more; I do not need any more help. Q. Our English class asks that you give the rule for forming the plurals of such compound words as "attorney at law, mother-in-law,- " etc. A. A safe rule to follow is to pluralize the noun part of the words. In such compounds as attorney at law, mother-in-law- , right of way, commander in chief, the noun parts are, "attorney, mother, right, com-mander." The phrases "at law, in-law, of way, in chief," act as ad-jectives in that they describe the noun parts. Therefore, the correct plurals are: attorneys at law, moth- - ers-in-la- rights of way, command-ers in chief. Form the possessives thus: attor-neys at law'a, mothers-in-law'- commanders in chief's, etc. Bell Syndicate. WNU Features. Most Thrilling Exploit of War Wins High Honor Lone Yank Officer Repulsei Tank Attack Led by 250 Germans. WASHINGTON. A young officer who manned a machine gun atop a blazing abandoned tank destroyer and beat back a tank led assault by 250 Germans has been awarded the nation's top decoration. He is First Lt. Audie L. Murphy, 21, of Farmersville, Texas, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor near Holtzwihr, France, last Janu-ary 26. He was still a second lieu-tenant and new to the command of his company in the third infantry division, says the Chicago Tribune. The citation accompanying the medal, which was to be given to Murphy in Europe, credited him with killing or wounding 50 of the Germans with machine gun fire and with directing artillery fire earlier in the fighting which killed "many" more. Some of Murphy's budrliei estimated that he accounted for 10C Nazis in the hour-lon- g battle. Swept From Woods. Murphy was in front of his com-pany when the two German infan-try companies, paced by six heavy tanks, swept from a woods. He or-dered his men to fall back to pre-pared positions while he stayed at his advance post to call for artillery fire to smash the Germans In the open. He was alone except for a tree and the tank destroyer about 10 yards to his right. First Lt. Walter W. Weispfennig, an artillery officer of Fredonia, N. D., who witnessed the action, said later the artillery fire that Murphy directed "had a deadly effect." "I saw Germans disappearing in clouds of dirt and snow," he related. Then a German 88 mm. shell crashed into the tank destroyer and its crew bailed out, falling back to Join the remainder of the company. Smoke and flames spurted from the destroyer. The German tank crews swung wide around it, fearing that its gasoline and ammunition would blow up. With the German infantry only 100 yards away, Murphy dashed over to the destroyer, climbed into the tur- - ret, and began blasting the Nazis with Its .50 caliber machine gun Weispfennig called it the "bravest thing I've ever seen a man do in combat," adding: Exposed to Foe's Fire. "He was completely exposed to the enemy Are and there was a blast under him that threatened to blow the destroyer to bits. Machine gun. machine pistol, and 88 shelllire was all around him. "Twice the tank destroyer was hit by direct shellflre and Lieutenant Murphy was engulfed in smoke and flame. His clothing was riddled by flying fragments of shells and bits of rocks. I saw that his trouser leg was soaked with blood." Twelve Germans tried to sneak up along a ditch and flank him but he swung the machine gun ajid killed all of them at a d range. The Nazi infantry was stalled. Without the infantry the enemy tanks couldn't advance and the whole at-tack collapsed. Murphy dropped wearily off the destroyer, all his ammunition gone, and limped back to his company. Refusing treatment, he reorganized his company and led it in an attack that routed the Germans. Murphy, a native of Farmersville, Joined the army on his 18th birth- - day and fought throughout the Sicilian, Italian and French campaigns. He has been wounded three times and wears the Purple Heart with two clusters. 'King of the Cocos' .fohn Clunies Ross, 16, comes into his "klnirdom" now that the Japs have surrendered.

United States U-Bo- Sank 1,256 Jap Ships WASHINGTON. U. S. sub-marines operating in far Eastern waters in the last three months of the war sank 69 enemy vessels, the navy announced recently, bringing to 1,256 the number of Japanese ships sunk by American underseas craft in the war. None of the sinkings in the last three months had been announced previously. The figures were com-piled from reports of submarines after their return from Pacific action. The latest bag included 20 Jap-anese warships and 49 noncombat-an- t ships. The warships sunk were two Jap-anese submarines, one mine-laye-two minesweepers, two large sub-chasers, eight special four coastal defense frigates, and one torpedo boat. PETER I I fT Fr PEEVE 1, rfe (WNU Service) " z 'Jobs for All' Goal Seen In 150 Billion Income WASHINGTON Treasury Secre-tary Vinson told congress that a national income of 150 billion dollars will be needed to provide jobs for all who are willing and able to work. To assure employment for 60 mil-lion people, purchasing power must be increased enough to boost con-sumption 50 per cent and to expand construction and investment by 100 per cent over prewar levels, Vinson said in a statement for the senate banking committee. Vinson endorsed the "full employment" bill, which the com-mittee is considering, but cautioned that "ultimate reliance for jobs must come from an expansion of private consumption and investments." |
