Joe's Thumb Plays
Part In Jap Defeat
Br HAMILTON W. FAROX
With Carrier Task Force in the
Pacific Vfi Joe Grans thumb is
playing much more than a thumb
sized role in licking the Japanese.
Its just a run -o -mill thumb
frequently grease-grimed of only
ordinary size without any dis-
tinguishing or magical character-
jgtic.
And Joes just an ordinary guy a
good fellow whos doing his job
well as bass mechanic for a dive-
bombing squadron aboard this
Essex-class aircraft carrier.
He doesnt realize probably
Just what that thumb cm his right
hand means in the war against
Japan.
Bat the pilots and the flight
crewmen do. To them the thumb
It n symbol and a fetish a
symbol of top efficiency en
which their lives depend a fetish
for luck en their current mis-
sion. In fact without Joes
thumb they wouldn't and
couldnt fly.
Joe stands up close beside the
planes as they rev-up" engines
preparatory to a takeoff. The
Oklahoma Basks
In Sunshine
(By The Attodttsd FNo)
Oklahoma basked in sunshine
again today following another un-
seasonal cold night in which frost
reached as for south as Guthrie
and thermometers at Oklahoma
City hit a record low for the date
40 degrees and dropped even
further at other points.
Clear skies and increasing
warmth were the weathermans
order of the day for tomorrow
with overnight minima ranging
between 49 and 53.
Until early today. Oklahoma
City's lowest record tempera-
two for this day was 48 degrees
In IMS. Chandler and ranea
City tied for what was appar-
ently too lowest reading In too
state overnight each recording
14 degrees. Newkirk reported
X.
Sunshine and wanner tempera-
tures for at least the next M
hours were promised Kansas.
Rivers in northeastern ports of
Kansas were within their banks
or falling. The Republican was
not flooding today and the Blue
was out only at Randolph and
Blue Rapids.
The Kaw was a little above
flood stage from Manhattan to
just below Topeka but was fall-
ing above Topeka.
Good land again had the low-
est overnight Kansas temperature

hundreds of thousands of able-
bodied Nazi war prisoners.
Most slave laborers are trying
to get back to their own home-
lands by any route they can but
thousands are still sucking by
their former German masters. It
is chiefly a matter of food and
routine. They know that aa long
aa they stay on the German farms
they will at least have enough to
eat And many particularly the
Poles feel it a poor time to leave
when their own country is un-
seized and disturbed by political
and dcrumic difficulties.
But as wsrkmen they are a
euree of perpetoal anxiety to
German landowners who sow
fear and distrust these foreign
men and women they bowed so
thoroughly for so tong.
They work when they want to
and they are asking and getting
a larger place at the farm dinner
table. They dont eat scraps any-
more. In (hie great pool of slave
labor toe Germane created their
own Frankenstein monster. They
no longer can control Polish end
Russian workers on their farm
and daily they petition allied
government agencies to protect
them.
We passed one road Intersec-
tion where a half-dozen weeping
German women and helpless eld-
erly men were standing about
waiting for some one to whom
they could appeal. Hysterically
the women explained that a Ger-
man farm woman neighbor had
upbraided three of her Polish
workmen. They promptly beat
her up and one pulled out a pistol
and shot her. All three then took
off in the direction of Poland.
We have no guns now to de-
fend our families one of the
German men laid.
Twa hundred yards down toe
road lay the woman near
death. We halted a jeep con-
taining twe medics and they
gave her what aid they canid.
Throughout Germany such in-
cidents are commonplace. They
will be until the allied military
government can sort out all these
scrambled populations and restore
the order which most Germane
now desperately want
