CJM DeHarf With Postshywar Plan Buys $5000 War Bond As Cash Drive Begins

Having complete faith in the stability of War Bonds and to aid the USNATB current Independshyence Day Extra cash bond ca~shypaign from 22 June to 7 July CTM Edgar D Dehart USN has purchased a $5000 bond to inshysure a comfortable living for himshyself after his retirement from the Navy

Chief Dehart a veteran of 27 years of Naval service has a speshycial plan where the $5000 Bond along with the $25 bonds which he purchases each month will give him a goodly income per month along with his regular Navy penshysion after his retirement from service

A native of Ashland Ky the genial chief has hopes of raising chickens in a wholesale way back in his home town where his mothshyer father three brothers and four sisters still reside He has seven nephews in the Army and several cousins in the Navy Chief Deshyhart entered the Navy at the tail end of World War One bulland has served continuously ever since having had ten years duty on subshymarines and the rest of the time on destroyers

The high seas veteran was on ~owoy duty in the North Atlantic from 1940 through 1942 and durshying his many close calls on thb strenuous detail was on a ship that has claimed trumiddotee submarine sinkingamp Before coming to USNAshyTB ~here he is stationed at the Demolition Research Unit on North Island Dehart was a forpeshydomans instructor at Newport R I

Chief Deharts plan of making purchases of War Bonds now is one of many now being thought of by the serious minded members of USNATB who know that an inshyvestment such as this is one of the finest a middotman can make

The Navys overall goal is the p urchase of one extra $100 bond per capita - both civilian and military No specific quota has been set for this Base but every individual will be urged to buy as many EXTRA CASH bonds as they c11n afford whether it be of $25 or $5000 denomination

It was pointed out that this will be the Navys last Extra Cash

DEATH OF A RUMOR Admiral Nimitz has dispatched with frankness and final-

1ty the silly but persistent rumor that the United States wants no help from the British fleet in our private war in the Pacific

As a person of some reurosponsibility in the Pacific to quote his own words the Pacific Fleets commander-in-chief has assured Britain that her help is needed and welcomed

It is remarkable that anyone should have believed the insulting suggeurostion that our government or the chiefs of its armed forces would sacrifice lives and prolong the war for reasons of politics or jealousy

But so many Americans and Englishmen did that Adshymiral Nimitz was forced to take cognizance of the rumor and kill it Let us hope that no one will feel called upon to attempt

GENERALS AND DIPLOMACY General Eisenhower speaking in behalf of the allied

forces asserted that weareuro going to have peace even if we have to fight for it He added Alf of us who are rightshythinking want the common men of all nations to have the opportunities that we fought to preserve for them

The occasion was a visit to Eisenhowers headquarters in Frankfort of Marshal Gregory K Zhuk-0middotv who came bearshying as a gift to the allied generalissimo Russias highest decoration the Order of Victory - a medal encrusted with rubies and diamonds Monetary value of the decoration reshyportedly ran into the thousands but it wasnt the cash value of the magnificent bauble that counted It was the spirit of the thing - one great general presenting his countrys highest award to another great general

Here lie officers and men Neshygroes and whites rich men and poor Here are Protestants Catholics and Jews Here no man prefers another because of his faith or despises him because of his color Here there are no quotas of how many from each group are admitted or allowed Theirs is the highest and purest democracy

Hints To The Wise To Expedite Mail Delivery

The Navy has some new postal r egulations that if closely adshyhered to will expedite the speed with which the mail comes through Lt G F Beneke Base Postal Officer said today

He cited two especially l When personnel are transshy

ferred change of address cards mailed to correspondents save much time Postal substations on the Base have plentiful supplies of these cards which may be obshytained for the asking or from mail orderlies

2 New regulations no longer permit the forwarding of second class matter such as newspapers and magazines Addressees must see to it in the future that correct addrPsses are kept ~P to date with the publishers The Bas~ postoffice can no longer forward this kind of mail to personnel no longer on duty here but merely tears off the address from the wrapper and returns to the publisher with a ~orm letter saying future issues should be held until a new address is supplied

Numerous personnel transfers and curtailment of the number of men assigned to the Base postal unit makes it very necessary that all hands cooperate if best service is to be given Lt Beneke said

DEATH OF A RUMOR Admiral Nimitz has dispatched with frankness and final-

1ty the silly but persistent rumor that the United States wants no help from the British fleet in our private war in the Pacific

As a person of some reurosponsibility in the Pacific to quote his own words the Pacific Fleets commander-in-chief has assured Britain that her help is needed and welcomed

It is remarkable that anyone should have believed the insulting suggeurostion that our government or the chiefs of its armed forces would sacrifice lives and prolong the war for reasons of politics or jealousy

But so many Americans and Englishmen did that Adshymiral Nimitz was forced to take cognizance of the rumor and kill it Let us hope that no one will feel called upon to attempt

GENERALS AND DIPLOMACY General Eisenhower speaking in behalf of the allied

forces asserted that weareuro going to have peace even if we have to fight for it He added Alf of us who are rightshythinking want the common men of all nations to have the opportunities that we fought to preserve for them

The occasion was a visit to Eisenhowers headquarters in Frankfort of Marshal Gregory K Zhuk-0middotv who came bearshying as a gift to the allied generalissimo Russias highest decoration the Order of Victory - a medal encrusted with rubies and diamonds Monetary value of the decoration reshyportedly ran into the thousands but it wasnt the cash value of the magnificent bauble that counted It was the spirit of the thing - one great general presenting his countrys highest award to another great general

When the 5th MaTine Division cematery was dedicated on bloody windswept Iwo Jima the selmon was delivered by the divisions Jewish Chapl~in Roland B Gittelshysohn Said he

Somewhere in this plot of ground there may lie the man who could have discoveTed the cure fol cancemiddot Under one of these Chrisshytian crosses or beneath a Jewish Star of David there may rest now a man who was destined to be a great prophet Now they lie here silently in this sacred soil and we gather to consecrate this earth to their memory

Here lie officers and men Neshygroes and whites rich men and poor Here are Protestants Catholics and Jews Here no man prefers another because of his faith or despises him because of his color Here there are no quotas of how many from each group are admitted or allowed Theirs is the highest and purest democracy

Any man among us the living who lifts his hand in hate against a brother or thinks himshy

And in good Methodist tradishytion I add a hearty strong AM1N to Rabli Gittels~ns remarkable word This man has uttered words wh1cn show deep insight and wisshydom for regaraless of what the ignorant and th_e hate-mongers ould tell us all men are brothshyers And bulll mean that just as it tands - ALL men When we condemn a man automatically beshycause he belongs to a certainmiddotrace co10r or creelt1 without regard to ms personal qualifications when we say that because he is of that race color or creed and is thereshyltore not our equal and our brothshyer then we have lost this war to the Axis powers
