Carrier Shangri La to be named for Tokyo raid
Washington July 21 A carrier to be christened the USS Shangri La will cost about 130 million dollars and be funded from war stamp sales above the monthly average. The ship’s name recalls Roosevelt’s earlier secrecy about carriers used in air attacks on Tokyo. Morgenthau announced new war bond drives and state war finance committees as bond subscriptions rise beyond the 18 percent income goal.

Price of a Good Conscience in Strength For Today
Earl L Dowglass argues that wickedness corrupts the self and others, likening a troubled conscience to a murky sea with mire and dirt. He says happiness comes only from goodness and self-control, at the cost of selflessness, while a hardened conscience is deadlier. The column ends with a brief note and a Tires column on rear tire wear.
