Rev. John s. Kennedy who writes for
The Catholic Transcript Is Of the opinion
that the Lincoln Brigade, so-called, Is
badly named. He does not consider 1t a
typical American organization, judged
by their allegiance in the Spanish Civil
War They were heroic in that they
fought In a war that was not their con-
Germ. They were not on Francois side,
as readers know. Those who returned,
Father Kennedy writes In his column In
last weeks issue Of the Transcript, met
In convention recently In New York and
adopted resolutions upholding the red
government of Russia as against Finland
The writer says: The Lincoln (Oh, name
lnisused) Brigaders are for Russia, right
or wrong. They are for Russia In the
Finnish war, just as they were for Russia
In the Spanish war. The interests Of
American democracy are to them en-
tirely secondary to the interests Of Soviet
tyranny"

Reduction In railroad fares are once
again recommended. This Is suggested
as remedy TO compete with the BUSES
which OF late years have reduced train
travel. The recommendation comes from
the president Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, but representatives from other
lines including the New York, New Haven
and Hartford are for the retention OF the
present two and one-half cents q mile. II
the railroads could operate with reduce
ton and profit the plan might be feasible.
Certainly travel by train Is by no means
reasonable excepting when you get excur-
sion or weekend rates.

Admiral Bristol Says Sand Point Home Base for
 Northern Planes

Sand Pcint Naval Air Station on Lake Washington near Seattle was characterized last week by Rear Admiral Arthur L. Bristol Jr, com mandins the Aircraft Scouting Foroe of the United States Navy, as the "home base" for Naval Air Stations at Sitka and Kodiak, Alaska. as well as for Tongue Point, Oregon.
 Inspecting Sand Point, the Rear Admiral was noncommittal regard ing how many additional patrol bombers might be stationed in AL aska.
 Persons should realize that bas- es, such as Sand Point, are not built for the purpose of defending the particular area in which they lie, Admiral Bristol said Each air base is placed in a strategic posi- tion as an adjunc ito the Fleet
 The Fleet defends our shores; the air bases support the Fleet"
 It was Admiral Bristol who. with other Navy officials, made up the Hepburn Board of 1888 This board was established to report on the need of additional submarine, destroyer, mine and naval air bases on the coasts of the United States.
 From the recommendatio of this board came the establishment cf the Kodiak and Sitka bases and the one at Tongue Point.
 But Sand Point remains the mother base for the others. , Admiral Bristol added. Tt rates with San Diego and San Francisco bases in importance on the Coast.
