HOME FROM THE HELL OF EUROPE
SITTING ON A POWDER KEG
A SORRY SPECTACLE
(By Don F. Cochrant)
G f t Homeward Bound
Vanguards of America's fighting
m e n In Europe have reached their
native shores and are already dispersed among home environments.
Some are discharged f r o m service
and ready to a d j u s t themselves to
civilian life while others, after short
furloughs with kinfolk and friends,
will move on to help finish the J a p s
in the Pacific theatre.
Many a Berrien county home has
been brightened by the return of
long absent men—a realization of
the day their families have hoped
and prayed for. More millions have
yet to m a k e the homeward trek
across the Atlantic, and not all are
coming soon. Thouands will remain
in the army of occupation and the
job that confronts them in bringing
order out of German chaos is daily
becoming m o r e complicated. V-E day
was not the end, except for the silencing of German guns.
Dissension Appearing
All is not harmony among the allies in setting up control of conquered lands and peoples. Day by day
it becomes the m o r e obvious that
pre-agreements, if entered into as
they are alleged to have been, are
not being keep in perfect faith. Trick
plays upon the ever treacherous E u ropean checkerboard are cunningly
m a d e by deft hands.
Americans are hopeful that n o new
clashes will develop in the r e - a d justment of Europe, but that is wishf u l thinking. Artillery may be quiet
for the moment, but the diplomatic
powder keg upon which Europe is
sitting threatens to explode at any
time. T h e centuries old game of
power politics is being played with
new cleverness.
T h e United States has everything
to lose and nothing to gain over
there. We stand revealed as the
one unselfish belligerent nation. In
carving u p t h e continent we ask t h a t
n o slice of it be reserved f o r us. We
furnished t h e m e n and hiunitions
a n d money to t u r n the tide of victory. All w e hope for is that our
allies will not precipitate another
b r a w l in trying to reconcile their
conflicting ambitions.
Why Nat Come Home?
It might be more sensible to bring
our amies home and let Europe b a t tle over the spoils, if that is inevitable. There is n o reason for A m e r i ca to become embroiled in it other
than upon our implied honor. Such
bounden honor is scarcely w o r t h upholding in international situations
where honor does not rule.
The nephew or niece of Uncle Sam
who views current developments in
Europe pessimistically is not necessarily a pessimist. He or she is a
realist, a n d during the progress of
the war nothing has been more u r gently needed on this side of the Atlantic than realists.
European affairs are shaping much
as they did at the conclusion of
World W a r I, w i t h a new and powerf u l participant, Russia, charting the
course of continental destiny. Save
for the bountiful material assistance
she demanded f r o m America and
Britain, Russia played a lone hand
during t h e war. She is playing an
equally lone and secretive hand in
t h e peace preliminaries. She does
not trust her allies and her allies
d o not fully t r u s t her. Gradually
Russia's ambitions and objectives are
being revealed. They are not u n selfish. Neither are those of Britain
and France. T h a t they will b e ultimately adjusted without violent conflict is much to hope for. Meanwhile
Uncle Sam continues to play the role
of profligate pacificator in imminent
danger of getting his nose smashed.
• • •
Not Easily Pacified
Russia has not been easily pacified
at any stage of the war or peace.
I n war her demands were brusque
and .exacting, and were invariably
met to avoid ruction. She has thrown
most of the monkey wrenches into
t h e peace machinery at San Francisco. T h e r e s h e failed to gain all of
her points; neither did she concede
many. Her attitude has been ada-
mant, not conciliatory.
Others of the "big five" have tread
warily lest they step on the Russian
bear's claws, although Russia has exhibited little fear of offending other
nations. Manifestly she has her definite aims and feels secure in her
newly won power, to the gaining of
which her allies contributed in substantial measure.
Russian sympathizers in this country charge that Americans do not
understand Russia. Who does? She
seems the chief enigma among nations. She keeps her own counsel
and her moves generally contain the
element of surprise.
It is improbable, however, that the
average American harbors animosity
toward Russia. He may not desire
to ape her form of government or
her way of life, but he is entirely
willing that Russia achieve her legitimate place and become the strong
and prosperous nation she Is capable
of becoming with her vast population
and wealth of natural resources.
But Americans want Russia to live
In friendly relations with the rest of
the world, which Is exactly what
they want the United States to do.
They do not want Russia to dominate
and control the world, any more
than they wanted Germany or J a p a n
to achieve such dominance. We may
not fully understand Russia, but we
are equally convinced that Russians
do not understand the United States,
nor do they comprehend the Ideals
to which this nation Is dedicated.
A Sorry Spectacle
Michigan newspapermen are not
inspired by the spectacle of one of
their number testifying f r o m the
witness chair In the Ingham county
circuit court that he paid bribes to
fellow senators during the 1941 session of the Michigan legislature, and
that he paid them less than the
agreed portion of a $3,000 slush fund
placed in his hands because, as he Is
quoted, "I was a cheat, and may as
well admit it."
T h e witness is Chester M. Howell, long editor and publisher of the
Chesaning Argus and a political power In his section of the state. H e
served several terms in the senate,
and Is also a former president* of the
Michigan Press association, a state.wide organization of weekly and
small daily newspapers.
Howell resigned his seat In the
senate a f t e r h e was himself Indicted
by the Carr grand jury, and was
granted Immunity for his testimony
against alleged fellow conspirators
in legislative bribery.
In that he may have saved himself
f r o m the legal penalties of wrongdoing, but he lost the confidence and
high esteem In which he had long
been held b y fellow newspapermen,
his constituents and those of his colleagues In the legislature who kept
themselves untouched by bribers.
T h a t Is a high price to pay for a
few paltry, tainted dollars. No newspaperman, and Howell was the trusted friend of most of them, would
make bold to hold brief for him In
the light of his own revelations. The
tragic position in which Howell finds
himself not only points a moral, but
emphasizes that honor Is priceless
and that honesty is the only policy
that ever pays In the long run.
The happenings that Howell r e lates, If true, are a sordid disgrace
to Michigan, and It will be a distinct contribution to the moral health
of the state If the grand jury cleans
u p the mess beyond the possibility
that betrayers of the public's confidence will ever again place legislation on a cash and carry basis.

er district and relatives numbering

Town Hall, J u n e 16, to help Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Cingros celebrate the 25th
anniversary of their wedding day.
Tables for the chickcn dinner were
decorated in a silver motif and silver
tapers provided the candle light setting. A silver tree was hung with
gifts of silver and money for the
couple, and a large wedding cake
was served to all the guests. The
evening was spent in dancing and
visiting and the traditional mock
wedding was solemnized. The bride
wore a wedding dress which was 34
years old and t h e groom was attired
in a style of the same period. Their
attendants were the same who attended them at the wedding 25 years
ago. They were Mrs. Fred Coops
and Albert Muehlbrandt, J r . The
bride's father, Albert Muehlbrandt,
Sr., gave the bride away. The acting minister for the occasion was
Anthony Millback, a boyhood chum
of the groom. To add merriment
to the occasion, John Walters acted
as ring bearer and Glen Pelton was
flower girl. The bride's bouquet was
white daises. Peonies, roses and wisteria decorated the hall for the
event.

Are Michigan's Inland lakes u n der-fished and over-populated? With
t h e panflsh season opening next
Monday ( J u n e 25). It's going to be
pretty hard to convince some Michigan sportsmen, especially If they r e t u r n home with a poor catch, that
this was the reason.
And yet the conservation depart-1
ment's Institute of fisheries research
at Ann Arbor suspects It to be the
sober truth. As reported In this
column last October, findings of Dr.
Albert Hazzard and other scientists
tend to prove that the natural limit
of food In lakes controls fish population. Since the food supply is limited, If fish are not removed all fish
become stunted, too small for legal
catches. Result: Fishing is poor!
This whole idea, radical and u n orthodox, caused many legislators to
wag their heads in doubt and o u t right Incredulity In 1945 when a bill,
adopted by the state senate, arrived
In the house of representatives for
committee deliberation. The measure
would have given the conservation
department discretionary power to
remove size and creel limits. If and
when lake and stream conditions
exist Indicating over-population of
fish.
Fearful that local sportsmen would
rebel against such topsy-turvy business,
representatives
cautiously
amended the bill to permit the department to try It out on twenty
lakes and ten streams, but not m o r e
than one lake to any county. Then
If results should be gathered to sustain the n e w beliefs, the legislature
might consider extension to other
lakes, and perhaps to the entire state.
So went the reasoning, and it was
good common sense.
Lending support to the research
conclusion is the fact that fishing In
nine Ogemaw county lakes at
Grousehaven, newly acquired by the
state, has been exceptionally poor.
This condition was a surprise to
sportsmen, for the lakes had been
closed to the public f o r more than a
decade.
According to old-fashioned concepts, fishing should be better the
longer fish were l e f t undisturbed to
grow up. Actually the opposite Is
true at Grousehaven. But since all
nine lakes are In Ogemaw county,
the experiments will be confined to
one lake. If fishing improves In this
lake, while It continues to be poor in
others, then sportsmen should be
convinced that Dr. Hazzard of the
research Institute knows his stuff.
It'll be an interesting experiment.
Bear lake In Hillsdale county is the
first Inland lake In southern Michigan to be so designated by the state
for a similar control. Tests show this
lake to be overpopulated with fish
that are stunted and under-size.
Instead of fishing being better
when Michigan service men come
home, the opposite may be the case.
Less fishing, under present restrictions, may have encouraged overpopulation, whereas increased fishing, perhaps liberalized as to size
and creel limits, may actually make
fishing better. It's a funny world.

Land inflation. Michigan farm land

veterans are w a r n e d against the
threat of postwar mortgage foreclosures w h e n f a r m Income drops.
Karl T. Wright, f a r m management
research specialist at Michigan State

first World War land prices per acre
rose f r o m $43.52 In 1914 to $69.38 In
1920—a j u m p of 70 per cent. In this
war, farm-land prices have risen

an Increase of 52 per cent. The
climb Is continued at about 1 per

Stuff: The Michigan State Library, as a service to campers, will
establish small libraries at f o u r
Michigan state parks this summer:
Hlgglns Lake, Bay City, W. J. Hayes
and William Mitchell. T h a t the state
liquor control commission may b e
tightening u p with drastic penalty
for law violators is indicated by t h e
six months' suspension of the de luxe
Penobscot club, skyscraper rendezvous In Detroit. Governor Kelly,
Mrs. Kelly and the "Kelly kids"
prefer privacy of their summer cottage near Gaylord to the formality
of the new summer residence, provided for by t h e state, at Mackinac
Island. The Lapeer S t a t e Home a n d
Training School was founded 50
years ago when John T. Rich of L a peer was governor.
Travel notes: More tourist travel
in the Upper Peninsula Is forecast
for this summer by George Bishop,
secretary of the Upper Peninsula
Development bureau. Reason: Relaxation of gasoline restrictions. Half
of the present number of Pullman
cars and one-tenth of railroad coaches will be taken out of civilian use
starting In August to transport
troops headed for the Pacific w a r
fronts.

Military training: A recent Gallup
poll of public opinion reports that
70 per cent of the public favors oneyear military training for American
youth after t h e war. National guard
leaders would split t h e one-year
training Into a series of summer
camps. President T r u m a n is said to
favor the national guard plan.
Foreign affairs: Senator H o m e r
Ferguson, returning f r o m a military
junket, deplores the "lack" of a consistent American foreign policy; says
it's about high time that we started
to understand our neighbors and do
something about It. Comment: If the
Allies had sent a comparatively small
military force to the Rhineland when
Hitler first became an aggressor, t h e
staggering toll of lives and money In
World War II might have been p r e vented. We didn't do It, as Senator
Vandenberg has pointed out, became
we wanted to live in peace and because we assumed w e could i s o l a t ^ *'
ourselves f r o m Europe's disputes 4 4 g |
But you can't Isolate America when
scientists m a k e possible machinet of
deathly destruction t h a t can bridge
the Atlantic in a few hours. Foreign
affairs has become a n antiquated
name; Wendell Wilkie had a new
name for It: "Our world."
What price freedom. Statisticians
have figured that t h e cost of World
War II to the United States, in its
Increased national indebtedness, will v
be $2,000 for every man, woman and
child. That's the price of your freedom. Is it worth $2,000 to enjoy t h e
precious rights of living the land of
the f r e e and t h e home of the grave? E-bonds will earn 33 1-3 per cent

CHAPTER IX
It took experts for this, for a
crazy quilt is twice as hard as an
ordinary quilt. But Phebe knew how
and would go from one to another,
a r r a n g i n g patches and making suggestions. And now, a s the d a y ' s
quilting drew to a climax, t h e r e
would be a great hubbub as they
tried to decide which color of thread
went with which patch and what
kind of stitch to use. But Phebe
knew. She wouldn't fancy stitch at
all herself, because she would be
too busy showing others. Ma would
come in and stand in the background handing out patches and
picking up the chalk when it rolled
off on the floor.
Phebe would lower h e r voice.
"Aunt, where do you want the campaign ribbon to g o ? "
" I n the middle," Ma would say.
The women's voices would fall
away to a hush, because they all
knew what the campaign ribbon
meant.
It could not be finished in a d a y ;
so metimes it took a woman years,
working alone winter evenings, to
complete h e r crazy quilt. But It w a s
helped along, and the women all
wanted to say they'd had a p a r t
in the quilt.
They would begin looking out the
window to see if the m e n were
coming. " T h e r e ' s N e w t , " Mrs. Kennedy would say. One by one the
m e n would arrive and stand in the
lot talking to P a , never dreaming to
go to t h e house.
One by one the c a r t s and buggies
would leave. Mrs. Gerilda Knabb
would come out, but there would
be no s u r r e y now, so I would have
to go to the granary and get two
sawhorses. I would try to m a n e u v e r her horse up, but he had been
standing all day and wanted to get
home. Mrs. Knabb, standing on top
of the sawhorses, would shout,
"Whoa! Whoa! Stand still n o w ! "
and I would shout, too, to the prancing horse. Ma and Phebe would
h e a r us shouting and would come to
t h e door and begin calling warnings
to Mrs. K n a b b and instructions to
m e . And now, with everybody shouting, t h e horse would prance m o r e
than ever. Finally P a would come
u p through the hog lot and take bold
of the bit, and I would help Mrs.
K n a b b and pretty soon she would
b e on and going toward the main
r o a d , pulling and sawing a t the
frisky, snorting a n i m a l
" H o m e r , take down the f r a m e s , "
M a would say, once m o r e coming
into c h a r g e .
The parlor floor would be littered
with thread and s c r a p s f r o m the
crazy quilt and pieces of chalk and a
thimble someone had stepped on. Ma
would begin gathering these up and
I would take the f r a m e s and lean
t h e m against the parlor wall. During the winter, they would be
moved into the sitting room where
M a and Phebe would quilt alone.
But when Ma said, " T a k e down
t h e f r a m e s , " Quilting Day was over.
The people in our section took few
papers, but the ones we did take
w e r e r e a d and r e r e a d and stacked
in a pile and t r e a s u r e d . We even
kept our mail-order magazines. T h a t
. w a s the final test.
Everybody tried to subscribe to
t h e home weekly, but there w a s a
pinch; it was $1.50 a y e a r . When
P a went to town Saturday and asked
for the mail, there it would be with
P a ' s n a m e written across the top in
lead pencil. We couldn't wait till
w e got home, so Ma would put on
h e r glasses and read snatches aloud
a s we jolted along in the hack. But
it w a s n ' t until after the chores
w e r e done, and the l a m p lighted,
t h a t we really tore into it. Item by
iten^ then. After nearly every one
t h e r e w a s a discussion. Ma would
r e a d a n a m e , and there would be a
•ilence. Then P a would say, "Why,
I saw him not three weeks a g o . "
Everybody took a f a r m paper. Or
nearly everybody. Wallaces' F a r m e r w a s the most popular, but The
Iowa Homestead was on its heels.
And there was The Mail and Breeze.
'But hardly any family took m o r e
than one. Two dollars a year, there.
Ma would read the F a r m e r aloud
and' it opened up a world the county
weekly didn't know existed. There
would be mention of towns we never
even h e a r d of, f a r off places in Iowa
and N e b r a s k a . Now and then there
would be a mention of Ohio. P a
would lean forward a little.
' One day, in a pile of p a p e r s t h a t
had been lent us, I found a copy of
The Youth's Companion. Its discovery w a s one of the exquisite mom e n t s of m y life. Stories of advent u r e about boys like myself. The
story about the gray wolf chasing a
boy on skates . . . I would hardly
go down to Big Slough a f t e r that. I
wanted m y f a t h e r to subscribe, but
he didn't know just how to go about
i t ; most of the f a r m p a p e r s we subscribed to through neighborhood
clubs. J u s t see Mr. Watson in town
and tell him you wanted to subscribe and pay him the m o n e y ; t h a t
w a s all there w a s to it. But how
could you get $1.75 to a p a p e r in Boston? Finally P a went to the postm a s t e r and told the p o s t m a s t e r he
w a n t e d to subscribe and the postm a s t e r wrote out a money o r d e r and
k e p t twenty-five cents for himself
(which w a s allowed) and so in no
t i m e a t all t h e wonderful p a p e r was
coming to our house. I told some of
the neighborhood boys about it and
showed t h e m copies, but it didn't
m e a n m u c h to t h e m . It w a s the
first t i m e I ever realized how complex t h e world is.
E v e r y family took a religious pap e r . O u r s w a s The R a m ' s Horn.

naffne right, but j u s t the s a m e it
w a s something c o m i n g through t h e
post office addressed to me. S o m e t i m e s I got m o r e m a i l than P a . He
would say, " H o m e r , why do you
want to c a r r y all t h a t trash h o m e ? "
But I clung to it. I bad m a n y
hours with nothing to fill t h e m , so
I pawed .through, it ..from "How to

" M a k e Easy Mon6y Selling Soap to

We had a " p a t e n t " washing m a chine, just a s m o s t of our neighbors h a d . The p a t e n t consisted of
a big iron ball f a s t e n e d to a pendulum. When you pushed the h a n d l e
back and forth, t h e pendulum with
i t s iron ball swung to and fro c l u m p ing everybody cn t h e shins. T h e
printed notice p a s t e d on the aide
said t h a t running this m a c h i n e w a s
a pleasure. I would look a t t h e notice and wonder w h a t kind of m a n
h a d written that.
My mother w a s not strong, so I
a l w a y s had to help with the w a s h ing. How long a n d d r e a r y and h a r rowing Monday w a s . Carry w a t e r
f r o m t h e wash boiler on the k i t c h e n
stove and d u m p it into the Ezy F a m ily Washer, then push the d a m n e d
handle back and f o r t h till I thought
I would die. Now and then Ma
would come out, I would swing u p
the lid and she would peer into t h e
s t e a m y depths. A m o m e n t ' s r e s t
and I'd hope t h e clothes had been
washed long enough. But they never h a d . The lid would have to go
down and the p e n d u l u m again s t a r t ed swinging back a n d forth.
I used to read a s I pushed the handle. A book w a s too heavy and
too a w k w a r d to hold. But COMF O R T , Key to a Million Homes, w a s
just about right. So I would g r a s p
it in one hand and r e a d about people
in Newport. I t did not take m e long
to discover they w e r e a pretty bad
lot. Also I thought I would like to
h a v e a fiing a t it myself.
One day a s I w a s pushing the
pendulum back a n d forth, I r e a d an
announcement which said the m a g a zine was going to h a v e a true d r e a m
contest open to any subscriber. (This
w a s before the post-office d e p a r t m e n t got ideas.) And that all you
had to do w a s to write plainly on
one side of the p a p e r and see that
your subscription w a s paid up.
As I swayed t h e pendulum back
and forth, I b e g a n to think up a t r u e
d r e a m . A little trouble with m y
conscience, t h e r e . . Still the Newport set wouldn't have hesitated.
I laid the scene in the Ozarks, although I had n e v e r been t h e r e . The
idea dealt with myself a n d a
companion who h a d gone on a c a m p ing trip in t h e Ozarks. The poor
m a n got lost, and I d r e a m e d where
he was, and I went to the c a v e r n

But M a w a s n ' t disappointed. I t

I s a w in t h e window of the r a c k e t
store a p i c t u r e I knew, the instant
I s a w it, t h a t I w a n t e d . It w a s a
panel containing p i c t u r e s and a caption which s a i d , "Six F a m o u s A m e r ican A u t h o r s . " U n d e r each, w a s
printed the n a m e : H e nry Wadsworth Longfellow, J o h n Greenleaf

Nathaniel
Hawthorne,
K a l p h Waldo E m e r s o n , J a m e s Russell Lowell, E d g a r Allan Poe. I

g r e a t m e n they weTe and wished
t h a t I, m y s e l f , s o m e t i m e could do
s o m e t h i n g worth while.
I w a s able, s o m e w a y or other,
to r a i s e t h e money and bought t h e
panel. When I got h o m e m y m o t h er w a n t e d to know w h a t 1 ! had. I
w a s suddenly self-conscious and did
not show it to h e r b e c a u s e m y s e c r e t

w a s t h e panel, u n w r a p p e d . S h e
looked a t m e for a m o m e n t , s e e m e d
to u n d e r s t a n d m y hesitation in showing it, and s a i d : " I ' l i help you p u t

us mentioned the significance of t h e
picture.'
In July m y f a t h e r would say to m y
mother, " I ' v e j u s t been through t h e

Then he'd s a y to m e in his sly humorous way, " H o m e r , would you
mind telling t h e n e i g h b o r s ? "
Of course I wouldn't, because nothing w a s m o r e f u n t h a n a swimming
party.
The evening of t h e p a r t y we'd get

The legal profession is about to
m e e t the greatest challenge it h a s
ever faced.
The Moscow declaration, published November 1, 1943, and signed
by P r e s i d e n t Roosevelt, P r i m e Minister Churchill and P r e m i e r Stalin,
d e c l a r e s t h a t "those G e r m a n officers
and m e n and m e m b e r s of the Nazi
p a r t y " who a r e responsible for or
who have taken a consenting p a r t in
"atrocities, evidence of which h a s
been received f r o m authoritative
q u a r t e r s in m a n y c o u n t r i e s , " will be
" t r i e d , judged and punished" according to the laws of those countries.
This s a m e declaration also dec l a r e s in its final p a r a g r a p h t h a t
" m a j o r criminals whose offenses
h a v e no particular geographical localization" will be tried and dealt
with by "joint decision of the Gove r n m e n t s of the Allies."
T h a t is where the United States
and the challenge of its legal profession c o m e s in.
The body which will try these "big
s h o t s " is an international m i l i t a r y
tribunal, to be designated by an official title, probably by the t i m e
these lines a r e printed, and it is before this court t h a t a m e m b e r of the
S u p r e m e court of the United States,
Associate J u s t i c e Robert H. J a c k son, chosen a s American chief of
counsel, will a p p e a r as prosecutor.
He will act jointly, it is p r e s u m e d ,
with the counsels of the United Kingdom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

At Proteeutor
J u s t i c e J a c k s o n ' s reputation a n d
his record a r e a pretty good g u a r a n tee t h a t he will not be s t u m p e d
by any hurdles t h a t international
l a w y e r s might try to put in his
way. But that does not m e a n h e
will " r a i l r o a d " the accused. He will
not let the trials sink below a dignified judicial level. They m u s t be,
he says, " t r i a l s in fact, not m e r e l y
trials in n a m e , to r a t i f y a p r e d e t e r mined r e s u l t . " On the other hand,
he does not believe t h a t " e v e r y step
m u s t be taken in a c c o r d a n c e with
technical common law r u l e s of
proof." His record shows t h a t he
is a " d i r e c t actionist"—he can be
expected to pull no punches.
I said this w a s the g r e a t e s t challenge the legal profession had ever
f a c e d . I said that because upon t h e
m a n n e r in which these trials a r e
conducted will depend just how
clearly Naziism will be revealed to
t h e people of the world in its t r u e
light. These criminals m u s t convict
themselves and their philosophies
out of their own mouths. They m u s t
not be allowed to s t a n d before t h e
world with their testimony and t h a t
of their a c c u s e r s a s a background,
a s m a r t y r s to what J a c k s o n himself
calls " f a r c i c a l judicial t r i a l s " which
rationalize previously settled opinions. This would destroy the confidence of the people in the whole
c a s e for d e m o c r a c y , h e believes. N o r
m u s t t h e case against t h e m b e presented in such a m a n n e r a s m i g h t
give even the skeptical a false suggestion t h a t the enemies of democr a c y have a vestige of right on their
side.
The small but efficient staff which
J u s t i c e J a c k s o n has selected is
worth looking over.
T h e r e is M a j . Gen. William Donovan, colorful World War I hero and
successful lawyer, now head of the
OSS; Sydney A l d e r m a n , a distinguished trial lawyer and general solicitor of the Southern R a i l w a y ;
F r a n c i s Shea, assistant attorney
g e n e r a l and well versed in complic a t e d litigations;-Naval Lts. J a m e s
Donovan and Gordon Dean. Donovan is general counsel of t h e OSS.
Dean, a f o r m e r a s s i s t a n t attorney

Never in history h a s such a legal
body been convened. Never h a s such
a task a s the one it has before it
been of such potential significance to
the social and political well-being of
t h e peoples of the earth—never, at
least, since the day of a certain Rom a n procurator of J u d e a in Palestine. Pontius Pilate was unable to
f a c e his responsibility, a n d finding
" t h a t he could prevail nothing, but

and
washed his
hands. . . . "
The United States does not intend
to wash its h a n d s of the responsibility before it.
T h e r e s e e m s to be a welter of confusion as to just what t h e function
of this " m i l i t a r y t r i b u n a l " is; a s to
j u s t what, if any, policy has been
established by the "Office of the
Chief Counsel for the Prosecution of
Axis C r i m i n a l i t y , " which is the title
on the letterhead before m e . The
p e r m a n e n t a d d r e s s of this office is,
at this writing, a little uncertain, but
it can be reached c a r e of the P e n t a gon in Washington. Soon it will establish foreign h e a d q u a r t e r s .
Despite the confusion, this institution has a definite policy and I shall

(1) We shall avoid " t h e law's del a y " which so annoyed H a m l e t .
My reason for this a s s u m p t i o n is

RETAILERS MUST PUSH
SALE O F WAR BONDS
Entire State of Michigan is Lagging
in Quota for Seventh War Loan
Drive.
Michigan is still lagging in t h e
Seventh War Loan Bond buying, according to t r e a s u r y officials. Acting
on t h e treasury's plea for supreme
e f f o r t to put Michigan over its quota,
i retailers of Coloma are marshalling
their forces for the "home stretch"
of t h e drive. With schools dismissed
and industrial workers thoroughly
solicited u n d e r t h e payroll savings
plan, retailers a r e t h e logical group
to spark the remainder of t h e drive.
" T h e r e is still a lot of money in
Coloma which should be invested in
bonds," declared Charles Kelly, local
bond drive chairman. "Savings deposits in b a n k s have consistently increased. T h e b a n k s are bulging with
money, and t h e r e is plenty which
people do not need to use now. Those
dollars should go into War Bonds,
w h e r e they will earn the highest r ate
of interest and be in the safest possib l e place." •
Only a f e w days ago Secretary of
t h e Treasury Morganthau reported
w a r expenditures for t h e month of
May as $8,188,000,000, a new high
m a r k . Those who think that VED a y meant t h e end of w a r and its
high cost a r e very much in error.
Costs will continue at a high level
f o r many months, according to gove r n m e n t officials who should know.
"Retailers should throw everything
they have into t h e final drive to p u t !
Michigan over its quota in t h e J
Mighty Seventh. Employees should
contact more people in the c o m m u n ity, day in and day out. We are
asking them to see that nobody fails
to get an invitation to invest in m o r e
W a r Bonds," said Mr. Kelly.

Tidal Waves
Whether or not a river has a tide
depends on t h e slope of the river
and whether or not a d a m in the
r i v e r prevents the tidal wave of the
lower r e a c h e s of the river from going u p s t r e a m . Large lakes, generally, have tides, but in many, such
a s the Great Lakes, the tide is comparativcly feeble.

If the 1945 f a r m fatalities with
t r a c t o r s follow the pattern of past
y e a r s the principal causes of injuries
will b e : overturning, falling f r o m
or being thrown off the tractor, accidents with power take-off shafts,
accidents while cranking, and accidents f r o m fire and fumes.
Most of these tragedies can bo
avoided by following these simple
safety rules:
1. Avoid holes or ditches into
which a wheel m a y drop ai d cause
tractors to overturn.
2. Drive slowly—••specially over
rough ground or n e a r ditches.
3. Reduce speed before making a
turn or applying b r a k e s .
4. Never ride on d r a w b a r of tractor or drawn implement.
5. Never p e r m i t riders.
6. Do not attempt to make adjustments while the t r a c t o r is in motion.
7. Never dismount f r o m t r a c t o r
while it is in motion.
8. Always stop power take-off before dismounting f r o m tractor.
9. Be s u r e that all power line
shielding is in place.
10. Do not o p e r a t e a tractor in a
closed building or close to inflammable m a t e r i a l s .
11. Never refuel t r a c t o r while motor is running or extremely hot.
12. Be sure the g e a r shift lever is
in neutral before cranking the engine.

OLD JUDGE: "That's right, Fred. It is a
basic ingredient in the smokeless powder
used in virtually every firearm from a pistol
to a 16-inch gun. And, in addition, it plays
a more human role. The medical supplies
which our military doctors use to alleviate
pain, combat infection, save lives are prepared with war-alcohol."

HOW PRESIDENT
MEETS HIS PROBLEMS
WASHINGTON. - Mr. Hannegan
is taking nothing for granted. The
political pal of the President actually sent skilled scouts out into various sections of the country to ascertain how the new moves from tlie
White House are regarded. He did
not trust polls, even his own, but
wished detailed reports.
From all sections the answer was
about the same. In effect, they
amounted to an enthusiastic goahead sign on the line Mr. Truman
is hewing with his cabinet changes,
legislative suggestions and foreign
policy.
Mr. Hannegan was told by his
selected agents the nation had
warmed up to methods of the executive, although the leftwing crowd,
embodying the stereotyped New
Dealers, was a little restless and inclined to indulge in a few carom
shots. As a matter of observable
fact the CIO, for a prime example,
did not endorse the Schwellenbach
appointment to labor, possibly because the new cabinet man is a
northwest political associate of AFL
boss Dave Beck. They did not like
Mr. Biddle's invited exit as attorney
general either. But Mr. Truman
evened it up by presenting the unemployment pay maximum of $25 a
week which CIO devised and lost at
the last session of congress, further
by asking the dictatorial government reorganization powers Mr.
Roosvelf wanted and failed to get,
by having his Mr. Vinson go out for
the, New Deal peace-planning program, by pushing successfully in the
house for the Bretton Woods agreement, which the CIO and Mrs.
Roosevelt have been promoting a s
if to put bankers in their place—
and some other steps.
Indeed, there has been nothing for
the radicals to complain about.
Nothing upon which they could lay
their restless fingers in accusation,
although a target may be provided
shortly when the wage increases
fail to measure up to their demands. In bulk, however,. Mr. Truman's program is the one they devised. Indeed, while Frankfurter
and Mrs. Roosevelt have lost their
appointive influence, Mr. Truman
has insisted upon keeping their best
friends. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau and Judge Rosenman,
domestically, while also holding on
to Harry Hopkins and Mr. Stettinius
internationally.
Different Spirit.
Mr. Truman has simply been doing the same things in a different
spirit, following the same line but in
a different way and evening things
up a little. You can see it in the reorganization proposal. While Mr. T.
demanded the power Mr. R. wanted,
he did not want to write the bUl
himself but would leave it to congress. He has sent up no prepared
bills on any important subject, but
is respecting the position of congress.
'
The carom sliots have so far
developed from the Russian
I problem. The conntry shows
signs of breaking into two
schools of thought on this. Most
people seem to feel Moscow has
treated us obsenrely. If not badly, on practically every late issue
of the war and peace, except Argentina, the one point we have
won—and they do not like that
• either. The radical Journals in
New York have generally be. come so one-sided that they defend every Russian interest and
attack every American step, bitterly assailing the state department at every opportunity. This
shows a rather thoughtless and
purely political enthusiasm. Yet
even on this problem, the President is being backed by a strong
majority in the country as a
whole.
Mr. Truman has thus managed to
achieve popular unity, which the
methods of the Roosevelt regime
prevented. A heavy majority of people have been found willing to forget
past differences and to close the
ranks of this nation before the world
in order to maintain its prestige and
smash the Japanese.
The Anti-New Deal Democrats
well know Mr. Truman is supporting Roosevelt policies and personages but are not criticizing him here
or elsewhere, in their relief over the
way he has been trying to even
things up.
It is a remarkable job when you
stop to think about the difficulties
with which he was faced.
•
•
•
COMPLETE VICTORY
It was a hard war program
which Mr. Truman put before congress. His primary point was that
we must drive the Japs to unconditional surrender.
While recognizing the sincerity of
those who oppose this 'tough" policy, I believe that any procedure except the Roosevelt-Truman policy
of unconditional surrender is not
only impractical but impossible—
and the hope of many people to save
lives by offering conditional surrender.
You have to beat an enemy in any
war in order to get any terms, ther
a f t e r they are beaten, you can call
it whatever you like—it still is unconditional surrender. Nothing can
be gained by kidding ourselves.
Lives are saved in wars by swift,
decisive action. Therefore what you
need is overpowering might and
shrewd generalship, not peace programs. You can never save lives
by selling your war aims short.
This nation acts on the basis of first
deciding what is right, and then
pursuing it to a successful ending.
EUROPE:
Map Reparations
Use of Germany's resources, both
human and material, for restoration
of war damage, c a m e to the fore
with an American delegation's flight
to Moscow to discuss war reparations with Russia and Britain.
Kpynoting the U, S viewpoint before taking off for the Red capital
as the American delegation's head,
Oil Operator Edwin W. Pauley of
Beverly Hills, Calif., declared that
the Allies cannot m a k e the same
mistake of World War I, of loaning
the Germans money to rebuild their
industries so as to produce goods in
return for reparations.
Asserting that such a policy only
enabled the Germans to reestablish
their great industrial machine,
Pauley said that this time the Allies
must seek to divert their energies
to other channels, indicating acceptance of Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau's proposal for converting the country into primarily an
agrarian state.
Since Pauley said that the U. S.
does not expect to receive appreciable reimbursement for its war
costs, heavy American demands
are regarded as a trading point for
moderating astronomical claims
of the other Allies. France alone
has asked for reparations totalling
40 billion dollars.

'Mac's Show
the grain lacking color in Iowa and
other states affected by cold and
wetness.
"He'll do for m e ! "
Thus spoke toughened Australian
vets from Tobruk and El Alamein
upon seeing swank Gen. Douglas
MacArthur swagger up a battered
macadam beach road to the front
of a column exploiting an Allied
landing in British North Borneo.
Per usual, "Mac" was the whole
show during his inspection of the operations, which further cut off the
Japs from the material resources of
their early conquests. As cool as a
cucumber, the general stood his
ground during an exchange of small
arms fire while his aides dived for
cover, and his shirt remained dry
while those of his companions
dripped from tropical sweat.
With Australians heading the
charge inland after heavy U. S.
and Aussie aerial and naval bombardment had driven the Japs from
beach positions, Allied troops were
well on their way to conquest of the
third biggest island in the world,
with the latest landing supplementing a previous invasion of the
southeastern coast.
Car Shortage
Emergency Powers
Quickened by the destructive
American aerial raids on Japan
and the gradual U. S. advance
to the home islands, the embattled empire's powers - that be called upon the enemy diet
(parliament) to relinquish its
powers to the war cabinet for
government by decree during
"the most critical situation in
the history of the nation."
Although Emperor Hirohito
himself supported the move, diet
members debated the measure
with vigor, seeking to assure
themselves that any surrender
of authority was only of a temporary nature. As a sop, Premier Suzuki declared that the
diet would set up a committee
to confer with the cabinet on
war measures.
Designed to permit the cabinet to act quickly to relieve
damage caused by Allied operations, the government's program
coincided with the establishment of independent administrations in all of the home islands
in the event of their isolation
during forthcoming campaigns.
CROP OUTLOOK:
'Above Average'
Because most of the intended
acreage will be planted and early
season gains have not been offset by
recent bad weather, the U. S. can
look forward to another bumper
food harvest in 1D45, the department
of agriculture reported.
Volume of crops is expected to be
"well above average" despite one
of the coldest Mays on record,
with deleterious rains in some sections being matched by local
drouths in the southwest and dry
weather in the southeast.
With an indicated winter wheat
crop of 729.255.000 bushels and a
spring wheat harvest of 287.397,000,
the total of 1,084,652.000 bushels
would represent the largest ever
produced, USDA said. Oats and hay
production should be above average
and rye output good. A record crop
of early Irish potatoes was forecast
along with another bumper harvest
of fruits and vegetables.
Pushed to the limit whenever
weather permitted, the corn crop is
two-thirds planted, USDA said, with
With winter wheat harvesting well
underway and local grain elevators
chock full, the southwest Is suffering from a critical shortage of
freight cars to move the bumper
crop. As a result, many f a r m ers have been compelled to dump
the wheat on the ground.
Unable to create the usual reserve of from 20,000 to 30.000
freight cars on elevator sidings because of the heavy war traffic, railroads are striving to relieve the
transport pinch by pressing gondolas and stock and refrigerator
cars into service.
With the redeployment of men
and materials through this country
for the Pacific war coming on top
of the switch of the bulk of transport from the east to the longer
west coast lines, the carriers' problems will be especially complex this
year.
Said the new Mrs. Cooper:
. Its
lonesome living alone, and besides, he's
still very active for his age."
Replied the beaming bridegroom:
"You're durn tootin'. I cut 14 trees since
yesterday morning. . . . Fourteen children,
which my women bore unto me, are dead
and buried, but Pm still kickin'. I always
say it was the first 100 years that were tha
hardest."

With a spokesman asserting that
the veterans administration presently designed to handle the cases of
5,000,000 men may have to eventually attend to 18,000,000, the American
Legion joined with the Veterans of
Foreign Wars in calling for general overhauling of the whole bureau to furnish efficient and adequate service.
Chief complaint of both organizations was in the care afforded G.I.s
at vet hospitals, with both groups
reporting overcrowding, staff shortages, low salaries and red tape in
many instances. With care found
inadequate in 47 per cent of the centers, standards of vet hospitals only
compared with those of state, county and municipal institutions in the
localities.
With Gen. Omar Bradley taking
over as veterans administrator, the
Legion and VFW proposed a comprehensive program for correcting
present conditions, asking for increased'bed capacity in vet hospitals;
more authority for hospital directors
to procure sufficient help and supplies; more intelligent segregation
of patients to promote speedier recovery; swift and unprejudiced handling of complaints, and replacement of army personnel with civilians or establishment of a r m y personnel on a civilian basis.
ARMY BUDGET:
Cut 25%
In a budget that reflected reduced
needs following V-E Day, stretching of some expenditures over a period of two years, and conservative
contracting in the face of uncertainty over the duration of the Pacific
war. Pres. Harry S. Truman called
for an appropriation Of 39 billion
dollars for the war department
for the fiscal year ending in June,
1946.
Based upon the reduction of the
army from 8,320,000 men to 6,968.000, the new budget is 25 per cent
smaller than the current one of
52 billion dollars.
In addition to covering the financing of the war against Japan
for the year beginning July 1, the
budget also provides for expenditures for munitions and equipment to
be delivered through December,
1946, and for heavier types of aircraft due in June, 1947. Whereas
contracts for material heretofore
have exceeded expenditures, it is
now planned they will balance, thus
avoiding the creation of huge backlogs in the event of a sudden end to
the Pacific conflict.

BUND:
Chiefs Freed
Sentenced to five years' imprisonment by a federal district court for
conspiring to advise members of the
organization to evade the draft, 24
officials of the German-American
Bund were freed by the Supreme
court on the grounds that the government failed to prove their guilt
within the meaning of the draft law.
Though the defendants were convicted on charges of conspiracy to
distribute copies of a bund command asserting that the selective service law infringed their
rights and they should refuse military duty if they could, the high
tribunal ruled that the evidence

enough to go. Tomorrow would be
another day. I might as well go on
back with Colonel Johnson.
And then some people came down
the muddy steps to the entrance to
the cave. Officers and men, to say
nothing of myself, gaped. For here
in this Godforsaken muddy rainswept spot were two women!
They were Chinese—newspaper
women from the Chungking Times
of Manila. They were just stopping
in with Maj. Charlie Sun, on the
way up a few hundred yards forward, where a company of crack
Chinese troops from Manila, attached to this division, were
bivouacked.
One was Miss Josefa Go, 40. The
other, a cute and tiny child whose
short boots, were inadequate against

One of the most interesting soldiers in this veteran division is Staff
Sergeant—beg pardon, I mean Lt.
Col.'Jay D. Vanderpool, also known
(to Japs) a s Maj. Gen. Vanderfuru.
He Is short and wiry—there's no
suet in his 140 pounds. He used to
box and play football, and although
his job here is primarily a desk job
he gets plenty of exercise plowing around the front lines.
Van is Regular Army. His parents are dead and he is unmarried. He enlisted in 1936 at 19 and
was assigned to the Field Artillery.
It took him three years to make pfc
and his permanent rank is still only
staff sergeant. Van was commissioned a second lieutenant eight
months before Pearl Harbor. He was
there on that fateful day. The 25th
division lost a score of men to J a p
strafing. The following October the
division left for Guadalcanal, and
Van began to show his stuff.
In October of '44 he embarked
from New Guinea in a submarine
with 3 officers, 10 men, and 20 tons
of radio equipment, ammunition,
et cetera. He landed on Luzon November 2 and proceeded to organize
the bickering and feuding guerrillas
of Cavite, Batangas and western Laguna provinces.
He moved around boldly in full
a r m y uniform, establishing coast
watcher stations and a courier network—and discouraging the guerrilla practice of killing couriers for
their guns. He helped crashed a v i ators escape. He personally sneaked
into Nicholas airdrome at Manila to
estimate the Nips' strength there.
After the Lingayen invasion his
guerrillas knocked out communications and blocked highways. In February he commanded 10 guerrilla
rifle companies which shared with
paratroopers and amphibious troops
the spectacularly successful liberation of internees at Los Banos. During those guerrilla operations the
J a p s captured a letter signed "Vanderpool Major General Staff Corps."
Apparently the J a p s didn't know
what the General Staff Corps was.
They decided this meddler was a
blgshot, and hunted hard but vainly
for "Major General Vanderfuru"
which was as close as Nips could
come to pronouncing the name.
Van has just received the Legion
of Merit for those operations.
No goal has been set for the

Mrs. Ernie Pyle has accepted the

J a m e s S. Adams, president of Standard Brands, New York, as national

Foundation, a non-profit organization with offices here.
Ernie Pyle attended school here
from 1919 to 1923 but left a few
weeks before his graduation to accept a newspaper job in Laporte,
Ind. Last November he returned to
Bloomlngton to receive, an honorary
degree as doctor of humane letters. While he was here, Ernie endorsed the plan for a Pyle scholarship, primarily to t r a m students in
the basic work of newspapers. After his death that scholarship was

which have been received range
from $1 to $500.

"My mother and sisters say they will not see me again if Marylin and I are reconciled. (That shall I do? I feel like I have no home, no family and no friends."
By KATHLEEN
NORRIS
E
VERY woman, in the next
t r e m e n d o u s y e a r s of our
1
country's history, is going
to be either a t a k e r or a giver.
E v e r y old, old woman, with the

BITTER HOMECOMING
Probably not many returning
soldiers will find as unhappy a
situation at home as Bates McVayne did, but there is a lot of
heartbreak ahead for many poor
fellows. His wife was wrong, of
course, to live with another man
while her husband was away
fighting, but she is trying to make
amends. It's his mother and sisters who are making a bad situation worse. They have told Bates
that they will never speak to him
again if he takes his wife back!
There is a little daughter in the
picture, too. Bates would like to
have her, in any case. She was
only a few days old when he left,
and does not remember
her
father, of course. Then there is
the other man. He wants Bates
to give Marilyn a divorce, and to
pay for it too! This maddening
mess is a soldier's homecoming
"present." *7 feel," Bates writes,
like I have no home, no family
and no friends."
We have come of age in the last
terrible years, we Americans. We
begin to see the great future that
opens before us, a future in which
the nations of the world shall all be
friends, shall be speaking, as It
were, the same language, shall
solve together the age-old problems
of want and excess, bitter need and
extravagance, inflated currency, depressed currency, overproduction,
underproduction.
But this glorious future, that shall
remake the whole history of man,
will not be reached without acts of
separate and individual heroism on
your part and mine. It canndt be
reached without our determination
to achieve It. It is there—the glorious tomorrow, without fear, without poverty, without war. But the
statesmen and diplomats and soldiers who are at the top of all our
governments cannot accomplish it.
It Is only the people, ourselves, who
can do that.
Hence it is needful for every
woman in the world this summer
morning to look her own circumstances, her own conduct, severely
in the eye, and decide just where
she falls short. Just how much is
she helping her neighbors to become loyal and useful Americans?
Just what sum of happiness, security, service is she rendering to
her own people?
'Devil of a Mess.'
Here is a letter that gives the
dark side of the picture, I quote it
only in part.
"I've come home," writes Pvt.
Bates MeVayne, "to a devil of a
mess. Maybe my nerves are stiU
shaken from a pretty rotten time in
the Paciflc. Well, anyway, when I
left two years ago our kid was
three days old. It was like death
to part with them, but the arrangement was that Marylin and the
baby were to live with my mother
and sisters, and everything was going to be swell.
"Marylin and the girls quarrelled,
and Marylin took the baby and went
and lived with a woman friend.
Here the baby was so neglected that
my mother went and got her one
day and brought charges against
m y wife, in court. Marylin then
went to live with a man she'd met
and fallen in love with, and is
still there, and the baby too. The
baby seems happy, and doesn't
know me, of course, and Marylin
wants a divorce, but the man she
is with wants m e to pay for it as he
thinks charges of complicity or
alienation of affection could be
brought against him if he pays for
it. Marylin says she will come back
to m e if I say so, a s she feels she
treated m e badly. My mother and
sisters say they will not see m e
again if Marylin and I are reconciled. What shall I do? I feel like
I have no home, no family and no
friends."
There is a warm welcome home
for a tired soldier! I am advising
Bates to wait; to get hold of his
little girl and take her to his mother
for a long visit, this without antagonizing Marylin or anyone else.
Under the circumstances he will
have no trouble in getting hold of
the child. His sisters will probably
be especially gracious with this arrangement, and time to cool off and
view the situation dispassionately
will be given everyone.
Such Women Are No Help.
But what takers these five women are, and how far from their conception of things is the idea of
giving! Giving help, hospitality,
friendship, giving service, cooperation, comfort. Their letters to Bates
might have been family chronicles
full of content, family gossip, cheering reports, hopeful plans. They
might have made it impossible for
him to forget that he is loved,
needed, missed every hour. Instead
they have regaled him on petty
suspicions, quarrels, scandals, law
suits. He has been tormented by
anxieties for his child, regret for
his mother's distress, resentment at
the infidelity of his wife.
If America and the world are
ever to emerge from today's terrible shadow of w^r, it will not be
through women like these that they
will be saved. We never can solve
national and international problems
while our own lives are a confusion
of discontents, debts, doubts, idleness, indifference; selfishness. We
need strong doses of the old-fashioned virtues of faith, hope and
charity. Charity toward starving
China, of course, stricken Europe,
of course, the claims of the Red
Cross, the War Chests, the homes
and aides and drives and institutions, of course. But faith and hope
and charity first of all for our own
people—the people with whom we
have breakfast, and for whom we
set the dinner table at night. If each
of us plants the three cardinal virtues in the home circle, the world
will one day become one great
home circle and very close to the
Kingdom of God.
Get hold of the little girl. . . .

the home kitchen. Three-fourths cup
of the berries is about equal to a
medium sized apple in foud value.
The juice of the berries makes excellent summer beverages and is
equally as good in winter.

Owyong. I asked how old she was.
"What do you guess?" she asked.
I guessed 20, and she said, "Something like that."
Well, losing face fast, the big
strong newspaper man went on
down the hill and left it to the ladies
to plow forward on foot.
Colonel Johnson pointed to the
big trees as we walked toward the
jeep.
"Mahogany," he said. "Good red
mahogany. See where a shell has
split that one open? Now that we
are getting a road up here some
smart Filipino will come in logging
and make a fortune."
It was raining harder still as our
jeep started, and the slippery mud
gave it poor footing. We hadn't gone
a hundred yards before it got stuck.
We got out and pushed, the wheels
throwing mud over us. We started
again, but this time the jeep slid
halfway off the road and stopped at
a precarious tilt. We gave up and
walked.
It was downhill, but no fun. Combat boots have little traction after
they're smeared with wet clay.
We passed a bulldozer trying to
improve the road — mud doesn't
bother those babies. We passed sopping linemen stringing wire. And a
lone rifleman taking occasional shots
at something moving at the foot of
the hill.
"Probably a chicken," he said.
"But why take a chance?"
"The bulldozers are winning the
war up here," said Colonel Johnson.
And it's easy to believe. All over
this area you see new roads carved
around the ridges. Without dozers
to make roads the supply problem
would be appalling. It's bad enough
now.

Breaking a Soldiers Heart
Used to Detect Presence of
Enemy and Serve as Messengers
The dog emerged and stood attentively.
" P u t out the cigarette," said Head.
Captain sniffed and looked around,
spotted the smoking butt, slapped a
paw on it, and the
deed was done.
Captain has other
tricks, but Head
emphasizes that
this stuff is extracurricular and has
nothing to do with
the war-dog business.
Head — First Lt.
James S. Head,
111. — is
Lee G. Miller Carlyle,
commanding officer
of the 28th Infantry Scout Dog Platoon. His outfit came overseas in
J u n e of '44 and saw action at Biak,
Aitape and Morotai before coming
to Luzon, where it has been working with the 25th or "Tropic Lightning" division around Balete pass.
Jim brought 31 dogs to the Pacific. Now there are only 12. Three
have been killed—two of them by
grenades in the Balete fighting. Most
of the other losses have been due to
shellshock.
"Dogs are very sensitive to artillery," J i m said. "We usually give
a shellshocked dog to some outfit
further back, as a mascot."
A war dog can detect enemy soldiers as f a r as 800 yards away if
the wind is right, Jim said.
The dogs are specialists—some
serving as scouts with patrols, some
as messengers. They have carried
battle messages as f a r as three
miles here. They are also used in
sentry duty.
"We've run more than 700 patrols," J i m said. "Until we came
to Luzon we had never had a patrol
that was accompanied by a dog fired
on unexpectedly. Up here it has
been tougher. The wind currents in
these mountains are tricky. I've
had five men wounded, all in the
Balete a r e a . "
Some Infantry officers have a high
regard for the war dogs' work. Othe r s aren't "believers," Jim explained.
Most of the dogs were donated to
the army quartermaster corps. The
dog corps is a quartermaster unit,
iMit those elements sent to this theat e r have been transferred to the infantry. So Head and his men were
entitled to wear the combat infantry
badge—and are proud of it.
Captain was donated by a resident
of Oakland, Calif., who had given
him that name. This platoon's dogs
a r e all German shepherds or
crosses of that strain except for one
Norwegian elkhound. There used to
be an Irish setter, but he was killed
by a land mine on Morotai.
J i m Head is 29. He has a wife
and two children. He did petroleum
exploration work in Arabia in 193840 for the California Arabian Standard Oil company. That's where he
practiced falconry against the khurwau and hobara birds of Ibn Saud's
rtalm.'

Wash-Day Labor Can Be Li ghtened by a Few Changes
You can save yourself a lot of
backaches and many minutes if
you'll plan your home laundry work
carefully. Junior's red wagon, for
instance, is an excellent cart for
moving heavy loads of clothes from
the tubs to the line. A bench or box
fitted with castors makes a convenient movable support for tubs,
baskets and hampers in your home
laundry center.
First, sort the clothes on a table
Instead of on the floor. Then, if your
washing machine isn't high enough,
put bricks or blocks of wood under
the legs. The same goes for your
tubs and baskets-on-wheels. They
should be about waist high.
Sew your clothespin bag to a
coat hanger, then it can be hooked
over the line and pushed along as
the clothes are hung to dry. Finally, make sure you have a taut
clothesline within easy reach. S'x
feet seems to be the best height for
the average woman.
The church is world-wide in its
ministry. Its first experiences of
both advance and attack were in
Jerusalem, but in due time the Lord
pressed its members out into the
Gentile world to preach the gospel.
These believers had to meet the
challenge of a pagan world, rich,
powerful, and steeped in age-old
philosophies which ran counter to
the toaching of Jesus Christ.
The story of how the church met
that situation and came through victorious is one of the most thrilling
and important sections of world history. We catch but a few glimpses of
that time in the writings of Paul and
Peter which make up our lesson today, but even those are full of instruction and inspiration. The church
appears here as it went on:
I. Fighting the Good Fight of
Faith (I Tim. 8:11-16).
In the letter to Timothy, the Holy
Spirit used Paul to instruct the
early church regarding its life in
the midst of an unbelieving world.
In the verses immediately preceding our lesson we find a solemn
warning against the wrong attitude
of heart toward worldly possessions.
"Godliness with contentment" is declared to be great gain.
But there is more to Christianity
than inward grace, for that must
show itself in daily fighting "the
good fight of faith." That is done in
three ways:
1. By godly living (v. 11). Believers are to flee those things
which hinder spiritual progress, and
give themselves to the cultivation
of graces of a true Christian life.
Space does not permit discussion
of the«e fine virtues of the faithful
follower of Christ, but note how tremendously effective they could be
(yes, and are today) against paganism. It is so true that the best argument for Christianity is a Christian,
but he must be a real one.
2. In holy warfare (v. 12). Living
for Christ is not accomplished by
sitting in a spiritual rocking chair
while the enemy is on the attack.
No indeed. There is a good fight to
be waged, both personally and as a
body of believers.
"The Son of God goes forth to
war" against evil in our day. "Who
follows in His train?" Thank God,
there are those who are on the
battle line for God, but they need
reinforcements. Who will volunteer
today?
3. With blessed expectation ( w .
13-18). The soldier is ready to bear
the "blood, sweat, and tears" of
deadly conflict because he looks
for victory. The soldier of Christ has
a sure hope, for he follows Jesus
Christ, already victorious over
death, and one day soon to appear
again as King of kings and Lord of
lords.
In view of that expectation, the
Christian is to live a consistent,
clean and irreproachable life. And
why not? If we look for tha glorious and blessed and only Potentate,
should we not be ready?
11. Meeting the Fiery Trial of Persecution (I Pet. 4:12-18).
As Peter comforted the sorely
tried believers in the early church,
he urged them to meet their persecutions:
1. Without confusion (v. 12). We
should expect trials in this world;
yes, severe, flery trials. Such things
are common to all mankind, and the
Christian should not expect to
escape.
To them, such trials are real
tests of their faith, an opportunity
to show to the unbelieving world
that God is able to deliver those
who put their trust in Him!
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. "Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial."
2. With exceeding joy ( w . 13-15).
The believer is not to be ashamed
of the troubles he bears for Christ's
sake. A glory rests upon the one
who is privileged to be a "partaker of Christ's suffering" (v. 14)
as he stands with Him who was " a
man of sorrows and acquainted with
g r i e f (Isa. 53:3).
Note that the believer is not to do
anything which would justify others
n making him suffer. It is a disgrace, a shame, which injures the
cause of Christ, when a believer has
to suffer because he has broken the
law, or because he is "a busybody
(11. V. "meddler") in other men's
matters."
3. For the glory of God (v. 18).
The entire life of the believer
should be lived for God's glory. If,
then, he is called to pass through
i trials or to be persecuted for his
!
faith, that, too, is something to be
| so borne as to glorify God.
The follower of Christ does not
hang his head in shame as the difficulties of life come upon* him. He
trusts God, and by his poise and
grace in the midst of difficult circumstances, declares to all the
world that God is able to deliver,

A certain famous illustrator refused to concern himself with

Said the tailor upon meeting up

"How can you say nything so
