Soldier declines Bronze Star for leadership under fire
Sgt. Joseph Kusaila of Waterbury Connecticut, wounded in action and hospitalized in Louisville, refused the Bronze Star medal saying it affronts his conscience. He described being washed out of officer candidate school at Fort Benning yet leading an assault that knocked out four German pillboxes and isolated a fifth, earning the medal. He typed a 2,500 word letter to Gen. Marshall with his left hand and noted most officers are brave and efficient. A War Department spokesman declined to comment. The article also notes UPA production and British ship losses in 1940.

Last World War Seen as Final Global Conflict Says Scholar
Dr. Charles C. Josey of Butler University argues in The Psychological Battlefront of Democracy that the current war could be the last world wide conflict. He cites advances in human relations since the American Revolution and predicts civilization is mature enough to resist future violent wars. He traces progress from medieval inquiry to modern democracy and stresses victory requires psychological as well as social and economic efforts.
