Observations of Washington
By Geo. Stimpson
WASHINGTON -- (Spl)
.... Speaking of self-sacrifice, Cong. Luther Johnson, of Corsicana, reminds us of the anguish undergone by the millions of mothers whose boys are in the armed forces fighting far away from home in defense of the country. He called attention to Mrs. E.G. Tolar, of Ennis, who had three sons in the armed forces when our country went to war. One of them, Master Sgt. Reginald D. Tolar, was in the air corps and was killed in line of duty in an airplane crash in 1942. Ernest G. Tolar Jr. is in the Navy. The third and youngest son, William Thomas Tolar, a first class seaman, is in a naval hospital recovering from injuries received while serving in the Southwest Pacific.
