Erika Mann Predicts
End Of Nazi Reqime

Victory for the allies and the end
Of the Nazi regime were predicted
last night by Miss Erika Mann,
refugee writer and lecturer and
daughter Of Thomas Mann, the au-
thor, in an address at the National
Forum Of the Jewish Community
Center
Economic exhaustion and its ac-
companying plaques were the basis
Of the prophecy as Miss Mann de-
clared that Hitlerism must disap-
pear for the sake of Germany, Of
Europe and of world civilization.
The speaker told the approxi-
mately 700 listeners that Germany
of today stood out as tragic ex-
ample of a nation accepting "po-
litical opportunism." Miss Mann
also predicted that any new gov
ernment in Germany will moderate
the anti-Semitic policy, which, she
said, 'has never been popular"
Miss Mann warned that Germany
will enjoy decent future after the
collapse of the Nazi rule only If the
allies do not repeat past mistakes
and aid Germany as well as police
her.

Bus Driver Injured
During Lunch Period
Gets Compensation
'Two-Mile Drive for
Food Not Unreasonable,
Appeals Court Rules

A driver of sightseeing bus, who
is not instructed regarding the
route he should take or when or
where he should eat, is entitled to
compensation when injured while
returning from lunch, the United
States Court of Appeals ruled to-
day in an Interpretation of the
Workmen's Compensation Act.
The appellate tribunal, in an
opinion by Associate Justice Henry
w. Edgerton, reversed a District
Court finding.
John w. Garner, operating a
sightseeing car on July 20, 1888,
delivered passengers at the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing and was
instructed to go to Mount Vernon
and pick up passengers there at
noon, the opinion said. Finding
himself with As minutes to wait,
he decided to have lunch and drive
two miles to lunchroom, which
was on another route he might
have taken between Washington
and Mount Vernon. After lunch,
he started back and about quarter
of mile from Mount Vernon, the
car overturned and he was in
jured.
"As drivers can seldom work all
day at their maximum efficiency
without eating lunch, their eating
lunch serves their. employers pur-
poses as well as their own" de-
clared the court, holding that a
drive of two miles under these cir
cumstances is not undue and unrea-
sonable.
Representing Deputy Commits
sioner Frank A. Cardillo of the
United States Employees Compen-
sation Commission, who found that
the injury arose out of and in course

Dr.. Walsh 10 Give
Series Of Lectures
On World Affairs
6. u. OfficiuI to Make
10 Addresses. Starting
February Is.

DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, s. j., vice
president of Georgetown University
and regent Of the School OF For
eign Service, will discuss world con-
ditions in the light of American
and Soviet Russian policies In a
series of 10 public lectures starting
February 16 in Memorial Continent
al Hall.
Coming during a new war in Eu-
rope, DR.. Walsh said he considers
the 1910 series, which is sponsored
by the Foreign Service School, prob
ably the most important of the
series he has conducted annually
since his return from Russia in 1924
to carry on a relentless crusade
against Communism. His first lee
ture will analyze the international
situation of today, reviewing de-
velopments since the Munich crisis,
the American Neutrality Act of
1899 and the declaration of Panama
establishing neutral zone of the
high seas.
The lectures will be given on Fri
day evenings at $3.50 pm. through
April 26, except for Good Friday,
March %; April IL and April
10, on which two dates the hall will
be in use during the annual Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution
Congress.
In a statement announcing the
forthcoming lectures, the 10th in
the series, the Foreign Service
School said:
"Once again Soviet Russia looms
large on the international horizon,
as the Commissars have dropped
the always transparent mask of
pretended pacif1sm and wantonly
invaded Poland and Finland. Simul-
taneously, the Government of the
United States exerted every effort
to preserve the peace of the world
and consistently directed its diplo-
macy to that end.
These two important factors in
international relations-the diplo-
macy of the United States and the
foreign policy of the Soviet Union
will constitute the subject Of this
years study under the title, Amer
ican Diplomacy in Peace and War
Other lectures scheduled are as
follows: February %, Soviet Russia
in World Politics." March l, Soviet
Diplomacy and American Diploma
cy;" March 8, Communism as a So
cial and Economic Force in the
World" March Is. Communism in
the United States;;" Tuesday, March
10, the Birth of American Diplo-
macy; March 20, American Diplo-
macy and Europe" April 8, Amer
ican Diplomacy and the Far East"
The concluding lecture on April
26 will analyze the success and
failure of American arbitration and
current problems in American di-
plomacy.

What is safe weight control?
Proper diet is most important,
says the National Dairy Council.
And weight reduction can be OBJ
tanned under normal circumstances
without injury to health if a person
will live a well regulated life and
follow diet adequate but low in
calories
Leading medical authorities have
consistently stated that diet is the
most important remedy offered for
removing excess fat from normally
overweight people, as each pound
of excess body fat represents 1000
calories that have been added ever
and above body needs.
Loss of weight is a matter of
physiologic bookkeeping and Dairy
Council nutritionists advise "exer-
else of the intelligence" as an eff
fective slogan. Too much emphasis
on physical exercise has the disad-
vantage of stimulating the appetite

to youth in the school program and
5 percent reduction in administra-
tive costs which reached $4,999, ,240
in 1910. During this year the CCC
had fund totaling $295, 900, 900 for
the operation of 1900 camps with
10000 enrollees. The Budget re-
duced this sum to $3.50, 100000 with
which to operate 1927 camps with
225, 900 enrollees. The cost per en-
rollee has been 81, ,O5O per year, but
the Appropriations Committee re-
stricted overhead expense by S.
100000 proposing this sum to be
used to pay 10000 additional en-
rollees and retaining 55 camps
which otherwise would be closed.
If this estimate is approved by the
House, there would be 1882 camps,
with overhead cost per enrollee cut
from S404 to 1862.
On Friday, March 20, the desire
for economy did not dictate the
Houses attitude toward the Labor
Board, for two emphatic roll-call
votes exceeded budget estimates
for the CCC by $5O,OO0,O00 and for
the NYA by S17,45O,O0O. The in
crease in CCC funds was approved
to a total of 100000 by a vote
of 204, to ITO, and the NYA appro-
priation was increased to S102,450,-
600 by vote of 221 to 157.

AverageB Baby Knows Three
Words at Year-Old Stage

IOWA CITY. Research by child
welfare expert at the University Of
Iowa revealed that the average baby
cannot speak at the age of eight
months and utters single word at
10 months.
On the average the language
learning process progresses from
the first sentence after the fifteenth
month to 1,500 words at four years,
according to DR.. Orvis C. Irwin.
DR.. Irwin's research showed that
the child at a year usually has a
vocabulary of three words and after
another six months has increased it
to 20 words.
During the next three months if
will jump to more than 100 and at
two years it may contain as many
as $50 words" DR.. Irwin said
From the second year on the words
will be added at reduced rate so
that at three there will be some 900
words and at four about 500"
The 10 most frequently used words
in constructing a sentence, accord
ing to DR.. Irwin, are: |, is, it, you.

Creamed cabbage is made by
mixing chopped cooked cabbage
with cream sauce. To make a
cream sauce for one cup of milk
use two level tablespoons of flour,
two tablespoons of butter and a
scant teaspoon of salt. Most pro-
fessional cooks make the flour and
butter into what the French call a
"roux" The butter is melted in a

SUGAR ACT-The bill recently
introduced in the House to increase
the domestic production of beet
and cane sugar has been referred
to the Agricultural Committee, but
Chairman Jones is reported not dis
posed to hold hearings. The Ad-
ministration is not keen about cur
failing Cuban imports, and there is
little disposition to favor the Cum
mings measure. The removal of
restrictions on 1910 sugar beet
acreage means little, because mar
keting quotas would make difficult
the sale of sugar in excess of the
allotments made by the Secretary
of Agriculture. Representatives of
beet growers and professors are
active in the Capitol in seeking
remedial legislation, but observers
believe that eventually the Admin
istration will only permit the pass
age of a resolution authorizing
Congress to extend the Sugar Act
of 1887 beyond December 81, 1910,
its present expiration date.
CAPITOL SPOTLIGHT - Since
the passing of the late Senator
William E. Borah, there is no in
fuential voice in the national Cap
Iitol to turn the spotlight on the
varagies, of officials conducting the
foreign affairs of our country.
Hardly day passes without some
inconsistent and indefensible state
ment being made by Administra-
tion spokesmen which may affect
the neutrality Of the United States.
An example is the recent utterance
| of James Cromwell, the u. S. Min
lister to Canada who stated that the
Allies must win to preserve human
freedom and urged neutrals to be-
come involved. This indiscreet VIC
lation of our neutrality elected an
outburst of criticism in Congress,
\ several members even demanding
CromWell's immediate recall.
\ A tempest is brewing here over
the release of military and aviation
secrets through the sale Of latest
planes to the Allies with the Presi-
dents approval; and grave ques-
tions of neutrality are not only in
volved, but the defenses of our Ma
ton also. There are many develop
ments in Washington which are
difficult to reconcile with the safety
and security of our country and
| the services of a Borah are neces-
sary to keep public opinion prop
erly informed.
/ APPROPRIATIONS the con-
sideration of appropriations for the
Federal Social Security Agency for
1941, the House heard glowing re-
ports on the beneficial results Of
the Civilian Conservation Corps

mendations had cut the NYA from

Radiant Living
THINK
By Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

After all, the realm in which one
lives is the realm of the conscious
ness. And that realm is either a
happy realm or it is a miserable
realm, according to the kind of
thoughts with which you people it.
1 shudder at the wretchedness of
the thought-life of some that 1
have met. Their minds are like
dismal swamps, dark, miry, treach-
erous, the lurking places of the liz
ards of envy, the snakes of veng-
ence, and misasmatic with the pois-
ons of unbelief and blasphemy.
Others have I met who were rad
liant with joy and fragrance, whose
minds were as sunny flower gard
ems, filled with the roses of affec-
tion, the lilies of purity, and the
forget-me-nots of appreciation.
Why this difference? Here is the
secret which I discovered. One
group thought only of the things
that are negative, miserable and
depressing. While the other group
keep before their minds only those
things that are positive, cheerful
and uplifting.
Lift your thoughts and your
thoughts will lift you. Brighten
your thoughts and they will bright
en- you. Ennoble your thoughts and
they will ennoble you.
Think radiantly and you will live
radiantly.

Don't CripIe Great Service

It looks as if the manufacturers ot ar planes and the American War Depart ment are heading for stubborn contro- verSy and it also looks as if the War De- partment is on it's way to committing serious blunder. In it's juStifiable anxiety to get on with the rearmament program, the War Department has filed with the Priorities Board of the National Defense Advisory Commission a request that It study whether manufacture of commer- cial airplanes should cease, with all tacll- ities being devoted to war planes. Con- panieS most affected are preparing vigor- ously to fight The directors say the num- Der of commercial planes they have on order or in prospect - somewhere around 100 - is not great enough to seriously cripple the nations rearmament effort and, furthermore, that it is necessary to retain their commercial business against the time when defense work will cease.
 This does not stress the biggest argu- ment Of all - that to stop work on conl- mercial flying business of the United States and the ambitious plan to increase flights to foreign lands. The War De- partment's plan would interfere with necessary replacementS for lines now operating in America and with the build ing of new planes especially adapted for great cross-ocean flights. Most Ameri- cans do not realize their country'S supremacy in commercial aviation. Com paratively, the efforts of all Europe in peacetime were puny. Nowhere did Europe have such hour by hour flights between all important cities and nowhere did Europe have night flights with sleep ing berths' for passengers. But that IS only part of the picture.
 Flights of American airplaneS on regu- lar schedule outside the United States still capture the imagination. The line across the Atlantic to Lisbon is to day the main passenger and mail link between America and Europe. In the fight for the business and friendship of Latin America there has been nothing more potent than the flying service between the United States and the big cities to the south The prodigious hops from Cal fornia to Honolulu and thence to Manila in one direction and to New Zealand in the other open new avenues of trade. Furthermore, it is planned to extend the line from Manila to Singapore and to start a new line from America to South Africa.
 To interfere with such enterprises would be a terrible mistake. Once the war is over, there will be hot competition from Europe. Now is the time for American lines to dig themselves in. In the mean time America will be developing set of young pilots who know the Atlantic, the Caribbean and tre Pacific as they know the back of their hand. In case of war, they could quickly become ace pilots.

On the Vanity of Human Glory

Former Kaiser William Second of Ger many is reported to be i'll and the doctors in attendance are said to be worried. No wonder. Any man of 81 has rather ten uous hold on life, and furthermore, may be the one-time monarch has lost the will to live For his career shows how fleet ing is human power and glory. To have lost throne, to have traded rule of powerful nation for exile, to have ex- changed PotSdam and a half dozen other magnificent palaces for the more or less simple house in the little Dutch village of Doorn is sometimes compared to the final act in the drama that was Napoleon's life.
 But the cases are not on all fourS. William ruled Germany and merely sought wider sphere through force of arms. Napoleon had actually through war extended French rule over great stretches of Europe. William preserved an astonishing strength and health through long years of exile. Napoleon died after long suffering from an agoniz- ing disease.
 William was treated with great defer ence by the Dutch government. Napo- Icons retainerS have placed on record the foolish and SenSeleSS treatment ac- corded him by the Englishmen charged with the duty of being his jailerS, so to speak. Even so, Williams life cannot have been a bed of roses to a man of his temperament and upbringing. "HauS Doorn" is comfortable place in itself, but to look from its windows is to get the shivers, especially in the bleak Dutch winter. Deep snow on the ground Wind moaning it's melancholy song in the dark pine trees. Lovely roads deserted by human beings
 None of the human hustle that he used to see from his palace windows, looking out on the Berlin streets. None of the veteran regiments bravely goosestepping for him to the crashing march music of splendid military bands. None of the htizzahs of the faithful when he rode in
