quietly, jhe middle class was go

Germany the two wars,
according to the radicals’ ‘in
exorable economic law,’ or was
going t*j be killed off. The Italian
and German middle class rallied
behind Mussolini .and Hitler, and
the two countries got Fascism.
Very wicked perhaps, but it hap
pened. The cure looks latterly
worse than the disease; never
theless, the cure was tried.
“The same thing can happen
here if our middle class is forced
to the wall and sees itself
threatened with destruction.
Political fakers can rise up,

W* are not now attempting to
discuss the deeper significance
of ih* misfortunes of a large
part of the middle*u.*lass, or to
suggest any approach to absolu
tion of this tremendously im
portant problem. At the moment
we are only commenting on the
distress that has been brought
ujion such a great number of
American families. And we are
moved to remark that the man in
the middle class who paid fifty
dollars in income tax two years
ago and is now paying two hun
dred, or three or four hundred,
or whatever the sum may be, is
not the man whose hard fate any
of us need feel called upon to
weep over. The reason, he is pay
ing the tax is that he has still
got a job and is still drawing a
salary. It is a reason for him to
consider himself fortunate in
such times as these. The man far
more deserving of sympathy is
the man whose job has been cut
out from under him and who has
no salary on which to pay a tax.

Mild-Mannered Fitts Sinks a Jap Carrier
Many Chapel Killian." who re
member Henry Fitts as a slender,
soft - voiced. mild - mannered,
[young man who worked at the
Carolina Inn. first as a waiter in
the cafeteria and then as a clerk
‘at the front desk, were astonished
this, week when they read in the
papers that he had discharged
the bombs that hit and sank a
Japanese aircraft carrier in the
recent battle off Midway Island.
"It is hard to imagine Henry
as a Itombardier,” one of his old
acquaintances here said yester
day. “He was a quiet, grave-look
ing. fellow, and not especially
husky. But I remember that he
w a- coo) and collected under try
ing circumstances, and I reckon
he had a lot of grit and deter

After his graduation from the
University in 1939 with a ITS. in

a st*ire in Durham and was the
' person in that city to be
drafted jnto the Arnriy Three
imonths- later, fte applied for and
received an appointment a," an

Japanese aircraft carrier in the
battle near Midway Island a few
days ago,” says an Associated
Press despatch.
“All of his crew returned to
their base safely, despite the fact
that they had two bad engines,
were short of gas, and had two
soft tires. There were 14 men
aboard the bomber.
“Lt. Fitts was serving as bom
bardier in the nose of a B-17. It
was hi? accuracy and coolness in
action ‘that was res-ffon.sible for
the sinking of the Jap ship, since
the bombardier is in command of
a bombing plane from the time
the objective is sighted until
after the bombs are released.”
"Officers at Ellington Field re
; member Fitts as a taciturn,
- • / • ;' cirdvt - «-* r
and cold-blooded poker player.
“ He never went to Houston
: much, ’ .says Lt. H. E. Holst, who
! was at Ellington Field with Fitts.
‘He and. I lived in the same bar
rack",-and when he wasn’t work
ing he’d be reading or studying
jin his bunk. Everybody figured
he‘.must be a pretty clever fellow
since he said so little and studied
much. And we knew it for
sure when he g*>t into a poker
game.” -
Ellington Field has acclaimed
Fitts as its first big-time her*) of
the war ’
