 About Russia

PARIS, April 22-The conserva- tive newspaper Le Matin, expressed hope today that the Allies would be extremely wary in any further treaty negotiations with Soviet Rus sia
 The newspaper said that it was to be hoped that Great Britain and France would distinguish clearly the danger of such negotiations.
 Le Matin declared that any trade agreement with Russia, involving the betrayal of Germany, would still be full of danger The paper pointed out that Soviet Dictator Stalin would necessarily dictate the terms of any such agreement.
 At Bucharest it was revealed this morning that the new trade agreement between Rumania and Germany will set quotas of exports of oil and wheat to Germany and provide methods of payment. The trade pact will be signed tomor- row. It was negotiated by Nazi economic expert Clodus, who has been in Bucharest for the past month.

 German Warship

LONDON, April 22.-The Brit ish submarine Truant has re- turned to it's home base and mem bers of the crew gave further de- tails of the attack on the Ger man cruiser Karlsruhe in the Skag- errak of Norway
 The crew members reported that most of the 500 or more members of the crew of the German war ship were drowned.
 The Truant threaded it's way through the German mines to pick the Karlsruhe out of a con- voy of warships accompanying Ger man troopships to Norway.

Smoky Dust Moi Causing
 Black Lungs
Astonishing Medical Dis- eoverY Reported 10
 Chemical Society

CINCINNATI, O., April g. - An astonishing medical discovery is an- nounced-that lungs turn coal black not from smoky dust, as long be- lieved, but from pigment appar- ently manufactured by the body itself.
 Dr. Georgine A. Moerke of the Detroit Municipal Tuberculosis San itorium reported this discovery to the American Chemical Society
 Her tests do not show the cause of pigment nor that it is dangerous to health.
 For many years autopsies have shown black lungs. Housewives or anyone might have them, but be- cause this was a common condi- ton of miners, the black was at tributed to carbon dust and named anthracosis.
 Dr. Moerke analysed some of the black stuff. She transformed it into a fluffy white material, some thing impossible with carbon dust. She changed it into a jelly by other tests. She showed that when dried it will burn, which formerly was one reason for believing the black stuff was carbon. She dem- onstrated that it's origin was or ganic, that is, deposit of living tissue.
 This revelation of the real na- ture of the black pigment" she reported, "has important practi- cal aspects. One, it renders worth less the accepted methods which burns is pure carbon. Two, it should clarify some aspects of in- dustrial hygiene. Three, it puts the burd-a O. prooe on any physician who 1..c- s~ ...agnosis of antha- coSiS."

DEWEY MAKING
 CAMPAIGN TRIP
 IN CALIFORNIA
Says Unified States Must Stay Out of War, But
 Defense Necessary

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-New York District Attorney Thomas Dewey declared that the U. s. must steer clear of the European war but prepare to defend itself adequately.
 Dewey made whirlwind tour of San Francisco, Oakland, and Berk- eley in his drive to line up Californ- ia's delegation to the National Re- publican Convention.
 Dewey began his busy day Sunday by attending church services with his wife and then motored to Berkeley to meet President Robert Gordon Sproul of the University of Calif- ornia.
 The New Yorker did not make a speech during his single day in the San Francisco bay region but he made his ideas plain in conference with newsmen.
 He said that the U. s. should stay out of war and give all of it's atten- tion to domestic affairs. Dewey's formula for keeping out of war was two fold Said he: We must care fully refrain from intervening in the disposition of affairs in the rest of the world, and we must have an ade- quate defense of our own.
 ''The crusading young District Attorney said he believed that the U. s. would be able to take care of herself if she was attacked. However he added: We must be prepared to defend both our coasts"

Mr.. Wallace Resiqns

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
in submitting his resignation to the
President, presumably to become
effective at the latter's pleasure,
gives renewed evidence of his will
ingness to sacrifice his personal
ambitions in the interest of better
government.
1t is not to be supposed that Mr..
Wallace lightly relinquishes the post
of Secretary of Agriculture. During
two Democratic administrations he
has given to that job the best that
was in him. There are many who
disagree with particular policies that
he has advocated, but there will be
few to question his sincerity of pur-
pose. In his anxiety to improve the
economic position of the farmers
Mr.. Wallace may have failed to
appraise the farm problem in its
proper relation to the economy of
the Nation as whole. 1t has been
charged that he has encouraged the
development of a farm lobby which
exercises disproportionate influence

Would Feed All
War Virtims

To the Editor Of The Star:
OF course. there is no doubt about our
duty, within safe means, to evacuate
children from the war-torn countries of
Europe.
1t is admitted, however, that the Eng
hsh children are the ones who would
most likely be brought to American
safety.
A few days ago an American AM
bassador from one Of the war-torn coun-
tries, who was an eyewitness to
conditions existent in that country,
stated that unless American food was
permitted to pass through the blockade
imposed by England, the people would
face famine and starvation this COM
ing winter.
In these countries, Belgium, Holland,
Norway, Denmark and France are little
ones, also innocent victims of this same
terrible god of war, who are also daily
subjected to bombings from belligerent
in this awful war. Can we as merciful
Nation stand idly by, blessed by divine
Providence with an abundant harvest,
probably to fulfill this very measure,
and let these children slowly succumb
to the agonies of hunger, disease and
slow death by starvation? Would God
continue to bless us as Nation? Eng
land IS supposedly great Christian ma
ton. yet she would defiantly refuse
food to feed starving children Of other
lands while pleading for safety for her
own. If this is Christianity, 1t is a new
version from that preached by the Prince
of Peace. GLADYS s. HUSTED.

but the best tribute to his overall
agricultural program is found in the
fact that the opposition party has
little to add to or subtract from it.
The nomination of Mr.. Wallace as
the Democratic vice presidential
candidate came at time when the
problems of the farmer were still
far from any permanent solution.
Naturally, in view of that circum-
stance, he was reluctant to give up
his stewardship, but the impossibility
of properly performing his duties as
Secretary Of Agriculture while CAM
paigning in behalf of the Democratic
ticket left him with no honorable
choice but to give up his admins
trative post. That he has now done
so is merely further evidence of the
recognized fact that Mr.. Wallace has
sound appreciation of the obliga-
tions imposed by public Office, which,
unfortunately, is not true of all men
in public life.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. Trdce1pell.

what similar tactics, but none uses
exactly the same sort Of power dive.
The thrasher is one of the worst at
tackers in the bird line; it comes at you
like q veritable fury, never leaving the
scene for an instant.
Jenny Wren, for all her small size, is
as brave as they come. but her attack
consists mostly of much futtering and
crying.
The mockingbird uses a skimming at
tack, poised from across the yard.
The blue jay, bold and hardy, attacks
from a close position, but also uses the
skimming method. consisting of slant
ing attack which is satisfied to glance
o6 the creature attacked. If hitting at
q cat, for instance, the attack merely
SKINS the creatures back, sometimes
leaving a good peck behind but really
not injuring the animal.
The catbird is another which attacks
freely, in the nesting season, but not
with much stamina, being satisfied to
drive the enemy away by harassing tao
tics, rather than point blank attack.
For the latter, seek the dainty little
hummingbird. whose body is no larger
than good-sized thumb and really not
so big as the thumb Of man with a
large hand.
His dive is power dive in the real
sense, that bill aimed as carefully as
bullet, or the nose of Stuka.
When he starts down, he comes with
rool1y 10 hi r,to l,a ;-
aiming at. There is no pretense or fool
ing.
He means to hit, tries to hit and is not
content with failure. If he misses, he
flies back, poises and comes down again.
Discretion is here by far the better
part Of valor. A wound from that sharp
bill, propelled by all the determination
Of the little bird, and by the best pair
Of wings in all birdland, might easily
be serious.
That bill has been poking around, not
just in nectar, as is popularly imagined,
but after insects, nitrogenous food.
Imagination easily converts the pro-
teins OF these insects into a sort of ma
terial similar to that which the natives
OF South America convert into the
worlds most deadly poison to destroy
fish. A bit of this material, on the end
of an arrow, is deadly.
Surely a well-directed and successful
blow from the bill of a hummingbird
would be no easy wound to cure 1t
might have very serious results, espe-
cially If it landed in or near the eye.
Our advice to all and sundry is not to
try to dispute anything with a thor
oughly angry hummingbird
The very surprise of the attack would
place any friend of birds at a distinct
and decided DISADVANTAGE
1t is far better to retire and leave him
the field. Any bird which knows enough
to get in out of the rain and how to
use a wheelbarrow to advantage. is not
foe to be regarded lightly, even though
it is no larger than a rather obese
bumblebee.
