While the world acclaims the defense of War- saw-with boys in their teens trying to help, and women carrying food and water to the ghting forces-a similar gallant stand at Westerplatte, a munitions depot near Danzig Harbor, must be re- corded in the annals of heroism. Here a small group of men-a suicide squad--armed only with machine guns and small arms, held out for days against a bombardment by heavy guns from a Nazi cruiser in the harbor and by bombing planes above. Of course there could be but one ending; death for the defenders and destruction for the depot; but the handful of men fought on. Then came the supreme tragedy. While con- testing every foot of Polish soil, driving back re- peatedly the invading hordes of Nazism, came the Russian stab in the back. Another invasion, also inspired by greed ,and taking cowardly advantage of a nation being beaten to its knees by over- whelming forces.

Charles Schwab's story is the story of America and of American opportunity which is not past. In a laboratory at home---with the help of his wife, a. chemist`/s daughter---the young Schwab acquired a knowledge of the secrets of steelmaking which was to help him to solve problems for that industry. He grew to gigantic industrial stature through application which developed innate ability. That ability was to come to his country's aid when it faced a war crisis.
