He entered the service of his country, the 28th of November, 1942 and took his training at Camp Be ale, Calif., and Camp Bowie, Texas. He was ready and will ing to lend a helping hand and was loved by all who knew him. In a letter to his brother, Heath. Jonn Hayne told him he hoped, this war would soon be over and. the world would be In peace again, and how he longed to be at home with Mother and Dad again.- "Oh, how we hoped for his return, but the Lord saw fit to. take him and we feel our loss is heaven's gain. We can see that sweet, smiling face and hear that sweet voice so-soft and low, and these memories will always linger in our hearts," said a member of his family.: ' ' -' John-Hayne Is survived by his par ents and three sisters, Misses Nell Dean and Annie Lee Davis, and, Mrs. Bruce - Simpson of Tjnionvllle; one brother, Heath, Jof the U JB.

' Phils' the precise polley" WMC - will put Into effect when Germany falls Is still being formulated, spokesmen for the agency emphasized that ma chinery for handling emergency situa tions" will be retained. They said that in some areas the West . coast," for example the necessity for top man power priorities to meet munitions re quirements will outlast ' the : German war, -u :; The Senate war Investigating com mittee has called McNutt to discuss WMC's plans. His associates said, however, that the program probably would not crystalise until WMC's re gional directors meet September 21.
