A unique construction detail
Is the use of a pipe-like spar
about which the fuselage is built
and to which wings may be fas-
tened quickly. The robombs may
thus be shipped compactly and
assembled easily upon arrival.
The warhead is affixed to the

The production cost of each

$3,000.
Treasured Documents
Moved To Kentucky
After Pearl Harbor
WASHINGTON (UP) — For
the first time, the nation is be-
ing told the complete story of
how Washington's most highly-
treasured documents were re-
moved to safety during the
years when the war seemed far
from won.
It was a cold murky evening
1!) days after Pearl Harbor when
a strongly-escorted armored
truck drew up at Union station
in the capital with a. half-dozen
padlocked containers.
In them were the country's
most treasured objects — the
Declaration of Independence,
the Constitution, the original
Articles of Confederation and
draft of Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress. These, with other price-
less papers that helped form the
history of the nation, were tak-
en in a carefully guarded
train to Louisville, Ky.. and
the huge gold bullion deposit-
ory at Fort Knox.
There they were laid in-
side a subterranean vault
beneath tons of steel and
concrete considered invul-
nerable to bombing attack.
Last fall, when the tide of al-
lied victories made sure the
Axis would stay on its side of
the waters, the documents were
returned to the library of con-
gress.
The library's quarterly jour-
nal, which tells the story, re-
veals that only once before in
the nation's history were the
documents sent to a place of
hiding to escape the enemy.
That was in 1814, just before
the British forces occupied
Washington. The precious pap-
ers Were carried to an unoccu-
pied grist mill two miles up the
Potomac. Later they were re-
moved to any empty house in
Leeshurg, Va.
There they remained until
the British fleet sailed out of
Chesapeake Bay and headed for
home.

THE SONG OF FREEDOM
CVpEDERIC when away from the
pianoforte was happiest in the
lelds where he would watch the
lard- raw-boned men and women
A'ork the earth. He learned, by
watching, how they planted their
sotatoes and their cabbages and
tie learned, by listening to the
words of his good professor, how
those who did the planting and
he reaping did not do it for them-
selves but for the lord of the
-nanor and for his household who
.ived in the great house.
His thoughts, never on today,
were always on tomorrow. It
was in his head how unhappy
they were and how happy they
might be and how also some day
they would straighten their bent
bodies, never to bow again. He
heard with his inward ear their
all but broken spirit burst into
thunderous music—into a song of
freedom. It was already ringing
in his ears, a song to remember,
a song to be heard some day
throughout all Poland, perhaps
even throughout the world—a ris-
ing chorus of free men.
In their company, in their
coarse but kindly talk, he lost
all shyness, all timidity. The
smell of the rich Polish earth on
their clothes and on his own was
good to his nostrils. This earth,
it was his and theirs—theirs—
together. They should know that
and not work it to give over the
fruits of it to strangers. Why did
they do that? Was it because
their masters would otherwise
hurt them with whips?
By what right did one man
raise a whip to another? "Poland
is not free." That was the an-
swer Prof. Jozef Eisner had given.
s • • •
CIX days before the charity con-
cert in Warsaw at which he
was to make his first public ap-
pearance as a pianist, Frederic
let his teacher Prof. Jozef Eisner
in on a secret.
"I've been talking to Jan and
Tytus, and we have decided—"
Professor Eisner said: "Yes, and
what have you decided?"
Frederic said softly: "We have
decided—when we grow up—that
all the boys are going to help."
"—Humph. So you have decid-
ed that? Eh?"
Frederic nodded.
"Well, that is all right. And
now that it has been decided, you
will do something else. You will
put down the name of Jozef Eis-
ner."
"You!"
"—Tch, tch, do you think Jozef
Eisner will not be here? Is that
what you think, you little, rascal?
You will put down the name—
immediately—do you hear?"
"Yes," Professor."
"—That's better."
"We have secret meetings—"
Jozef Eisner peered over thc«
rim of his spectacles.
"Oh, you can come if you want
to."
"—Umm. Thank you. Well,
nothing will keep me away—
nothing."
"We meet in a cave."
"—So? Well, that is all right,
too."
"You won't tell Papa?"
"—Me! Jozef Eisner an in-
former!"
"Oh, not that, Professor. Only
if Papa knew, he'd worry—and if
the Czar ever found out—"
*4—FREDERIC, the Mosart,
please." Jozef Eisner filled
his long-shanked pipe. "All right,
all right, how let's get on."
pushed the tobacco down into tfce
bowl with his forefiitger. Frederic
meanwhile had begun to play.
Jozef Eisner cocked his ear. "la
that Mozart?"
"No." ^
"—Ah, I thought not. What la
that?"
"It's Frederic Chopin."
"—Oh, ho!"
"I wrote it. It's a waltz."
"—Umph. Thank you for tell-
ing me."
"Don't you like it?"
"—Offhand, not at all. But
how can I say until I hear it?"
"I think it's very nice," Fred-
eric said. His fingers danced over
the keys.
Jozef Eisner said: "I'll decide
that, please."
Then as Frederic .played Jozef
Eisner dreamed. "Frederic," he
said, "do you know what a won-
derful city Paris is? It is the
capital of the world. There is not
a great musician nor a great
artist who doijfs not go to Paris
at some time of his life. You
too will go there, and I will be
with you. Yes, no doubt about it.
You will play before a thousand
people and they will all be shout-
ing, each and every one of them,
'Bravo! Bravo!' Ah, there will be
talk when they hear you. And
do you know what they will say?
Eh?"
"What will they say, Profes-
sor?"
"—Well, for one thing, they
will say this is Frederic Chopin,
and he is Polish—"
"I am proud of that, Profes-
sor."
"—Umph. I should hope so.
They will say also that his peo-
ple ought to be free and maybe
we can help them." Jozef Eis-
ner tapped his head. "Frederic,
it's all here. And some day, no
doubt of it, you will be the voice
for thousands and thousands who

THE CONCERT
pHE excitement o£ preparing for
Fritzchen's first public per-
irmance had its effect on Mamma
!hopin. She was put to bed with
i fever and it was thought she
.vould not be well enough to at-
end. "I am not sick," Mamma
;aid. "How perfectly ridiculous."
She called for Fritzchen and the
>oy went into the bedchamber and
itood alongside Mamma's bed and
ook Mamma's hand.
"Frederic, did they tell you
Vlamma was sick?"
"Yes, Mamma."
"That is a terrible thing to tell
,-ou. Look at me. Does your
Vlamma look sick?"
"No, Mamma."
"I am not sick yet they won't
et me get up. What am I to do?

"I won't open it, Mamma."

"But why should I bow to him,
Mamma, and not to all?"
Mamma puckered her lips.
"Fritzchen, the Count is a very,
very great man."
Frederic said. "Yes, but he is
not so great as Professor Eisner."
* *
MAMMA could not sleep; she
could not even close her
eyes. She tossed and was very
restless. All her thoughts were
of the concert. Would Fritzchen
remember all she had told him?
Her ears were alert for the sounds
of the returning carriage. She
heard nothing but the wind in the
eaves.
One thing she had managed to
do before they had put her to
bed, a perfectly well woman; she
had managed to see that Fritzchen
looked his best. She and Papa
had laid out the money for the
very finest velvet trousers and
new shoes and a handsome smock
with a broad collar and sturdy
strings with which to keep the
smock in place about the child's
neck. He wore mittens, too, for
his fingers must be warm if they
were to be limber.

A T last! They were home at
A last!
Mamma sat up. She flung the
bedcovers from her, but, on sec-
ond thought, pulled them back,
then shouted: "—Well! Are you
there!"
Fritzchen was at the door first.
Mamma saw by the light of the
candles how his eyes glowed. She
knew the concert was a success.
"—It was, wasn't it?"
Papa Chopin, his high hat still
on his head, was in the doorway.
"—Well, don't any of you say
anything?"
"I wasn't afraid, Mamma."
"—No, no! Dnn't tell me that.
I know that. What was there to
be afraid of? But bow was it?
How did fne people act? Did they
applaud? That's what I want to
know. Did they applaud? Well,

UP's Hewlett And
Wife Reunited In
Manila Prison Camp
LUZON — (UP) — The name
of one prisoner freed at Manilla
is known — Virginia Hewlett —
wife of United Press War Cor-
respondent Frank Hewlett.
Hewlett parted from his wjfe
on New Year's Eve, 1942 to go
to Bataan with General Mac-
Arthur. She stayed behind in
Manila as a nurse.
It was a hard decision for
Hewlett, the last correspondent
to leave the Philippines, to
make. But one morning he left
with MacArthur for Australia,
not knowing what fate was in
store for his wife.
It was Hewlett who accom-

panied the first cavalry division
in its dash into the Santo Tomas
concentration camp.
There he found his wife, Vir-
ginia. But let Hewlett tell this
dramatic story in his own words;
"I found hert here, recovering
from a nervous breakdown."
Then Hewlett went on:
"The doctors say she would
have been fully recovered now
if she had had sufficient food
Although she was never a big
girl, her weight had dropped tf>
80-pounds."
Despite all this, Hewlett says:
"Virginia was in excellent spir-
its."
It was good — this just seeing

Details Revealed :
Of Aid To Russia
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
foreign economic administrator
—Leo Crowley — has revealed
the details of the United States'
huge shipments of lend-lease
supplies to Russia—with items
from boots to enormous power
trains included.
Since the lend-lease program
started, America has sent Rus-
sia more than 300,000 vehicles—
including jeeps and motorcycles
—and on some fronts more than
half the Soviet army supplies
are carried on American trucks.
Crowley says rail equipment
is part of the millions of tons of
American-made ammunition and
equipment now being used by
the Soviets in the drive to Ber-
lin.
More than 1,000 locomotives
have been received by the Rus-
sians—seven-thousand flatcars—
and nearly 500,000 tons of rail-
road rails.
Russia has received more
than one - and - one - half- million
tons of steel, in addition, and
thousands of tons of copper,
aluminum and brass.
Besides, Crowley says, we
already have shipped more
than 12,00(1 planes, i:t.~>,000
machine guns, and 2!>4,0<MI
tons of explosives to (he
Russians.
The list of lend-lease supplies
to Russia is long: 6,000 tanks,
1800 self-propelled guns, 5500
artillery prime movers and thou-
sands of assorted guns.
More than 1,300,000 tons of
petroleum, 11,000,000 pairs of
army boots, 07.000.0f0 yards of
cotton cloth and 50.000.000 yards

Soldier Misses Jungle;
Goes Tv Sleep In Zoo
CHICAGO — (UP) — The su-
perintendent of Brookfield Zoo
at Chicago was making his
rounds the other night when he
was amazed to find a soldier
peacefully snoozing while
stretched out on a bench in the
parrot house. When he awoke
later Private First Class Floyd
Robertson of Akron, Ohio, told
the zoo keeper that he had heen
bothered with insomnia since
his return from the South Pacif-
ic.
You see, the veteran service-
man —on a 30-day leave after
service in New Guinea — ex-
plained that he missed the chat-
ter of the parrots and cockatoos.
He told the startled superinten-
dent, "I guess I've gotten so us-
ed to the jungle noises that I'm
finding it hard to go to sleep
without, them."

The fact that the bill IS ;o small, causes many folks to ncglect ro
