BACK THE ATTACK WITH WAR BONDS! [[/left column]] [[right column]] a colored soldier on a colonel with less than death or life imprisonment. ... (SERVICEMAN'S NAME WITHHELD) Fort Ord, Calif. Management, Not Money Sirs: Not having missed a copy of TIME since 1929 and hoping not to as long as it or I exist, I am taking this first time to write you a letter and let off a little personal steam about all the noise being made...regarding the production decline and manpower shortage. I consider that my working here in one of the large war production centers gives opportunity to observe the matter at its source. I work for the Ford Motor Co., and have for the past 14 years, not as a brilliant and mighty production foreman, but just a humble inspector.... When we made Ford cars here at the rate of 350 per eight-hour shift, there was no loafing by anyone. But now things are different; we work for Ford still, but under the management of Washington and by-points! There are more people working or "putting time in" now than there were then, but the unit hourly production per person is but a fraction.... When the WPB wakes up to the fact that it takes efficient management and not money in huge quantities, then we will attain maximum production... LEO H. TRAIL Richmond, Calif. Holy Man Remembered Sirs: In reference to an article under Religion in your Sept. 27 issue: if these times produce holy men in the best Christian sense of the term, then Bishop John Ward of Erie, Pa. is surely one of them.

But along with that the Bishop never forgot his Christian practices, and every Sunday the entire party assembled along the banks of some stream or lake with the spruces and the snow-flecked peaks as a backdrop to hear the Bishop hold service.... The Christian religion and the duties it implies have deep roots in John Ward and I for one can only wish him well on his Alaskan venture. HANS KLEIBER Dayton, Wyo. Experiment in Segregation Sirs: ...I have been a constant reader of TIME for over ten years and during that period I have observed that TIME has done a fair job of honestly reporting the news. However [in the Sept. 20 issue], TIME made some definite statements about the 99th Fighter Squadron and unashamedly admitted these statements to be based on "unofficial reports."... My husband, Lieut. Colonel Benjamin O. Davis Jr....until recently commanded the 99th Fighter Squadron....His views are undoubtedly not as objective as those of a disinterested onlooker.... Are you justified in saying that the record of the 99th Fighter Squadron is only fair? My husband tells me that his judgment, based on comparison with the work done by six veteran P-40 squadrons in the same area on the same types of missions over the same 8 TIME, OCTOBER 18, 1943 [[/right column]]
