with Anatole Litvak directing. Bette

my own addition.
That old horror story, "Dr. Jekyll

A Thought for Today
They Sleep the Sleep Unbroken

Nothing, not the rumble of steel mon- sters, not the chatter of machine-guns, not the tearing explosions of bombs, can break the sleep of the dead we honor this Memorial Day. In Flanders Fields, the crash and roar of new and fiercer war surges over the very graves of the Ameri- can boys who followed briught dream to France in 1917 and 1918. But for those who stayed behind to enrich With their dust "some conner of foreign field" there is the same eternal rest and slee pas has been given their comrades who rest in cedar-grooved Arlington. Battle, and quick agony, or the exal- tation o fthe taken town have no mean ing any longer for these dead.
 They had their day, and 1t was bright and glorious. Another generation has come, and we almost hesitate to repeat to them what was In the minds and hearts of the boys who sailed away in 1917 - so changed is the world, so tarn- ished the dream. But there was day, April 2, 1917, when the ascetic and hag- gard face of President focused the eyes of Songress, and his words were meas ured as they rolled on,
 e.. But the right is more precious
 than peace ,and we shall fight for
 the things which we have always
 carried nearest our hearts - for
 democracy, for the right of those
 who submit to authority to have g
 voice in their own governments, for
 the rights and liberties of small na-
 tions, for . universal dominion of
 right by such concert of free peo-
 pies as shall bring peace and safety
 all nations and make the world
 itself at last free. .. ."
 So they sailed away, and 1t was not the fault of any of those who went to their long sleep In Flanders that these things were not to be-. Those who survived were the ones who had to see the tarnish, the dishonor, the failure Those who sur vived lived on to become hard, indiffer- ent, without faith They lived to see 1t all come afain, and come in grimmer guise, without exaltation.
 No, the guns cannot disturb those dead we honor now They saw, they served, they died in the flush of youth and power. Serene in the faith that what they gave their lives to gain must come some day, they sleep the sleep unbroken. To whatever course he believes will serve those ends today, let each rededicate him. sel fin remembering our honored dead.

been Q haven for persecuted political refugees We hope it always will be. But Trotsky is In no real sense Q political refugee. He Is the active head of the "Fourth lnternationale," an anti-Staiin Communist movement. He Is by nature, training, and past and present practice A consplrator. He could no more stop conspirlng than stop breathing. It has been his life. Some day 1t will be his death.
 But not in the United States. Subject to immigration laws, political refugees who are willing to put aside connivery and intrigue, and to become loyal citl- gems of the American republic, are still welcome. But any effort to foist on the United States this arch-plotter, intriguer, and active head of world revolutionary movement should be spiked at the start.

In Front Again

It looks as If the Washington Merry Go-Round authors, Drew Pearson and Bob Allen, had sifted through to the core of another interesting development with international ramifications. A few nights ago the collaborators of the Washington behind-the-scene column printed son1e- thing about the investigation being made by the Department of justice into the manufacture of lenses In this country In It's probe the department revealed that the Bausch and Lomb Optical Company, one of the leading firms in the United States, had an agreement with the Ger man firm of Carl Zeiss in making opti- cal equipment of military nature.
 However, this was not exactly new be- cause, according to Pearson and Allen, American authorities knew about this arrangement and encouraged 1t because they figured that Bausch and Lomb would benefit enough to allow this nation also to be benefited by securing valuable and up-to-date periscopes, range-fnders, and other instruments. But the war may have changed the picture somewhat. At least the Bauch and Lonb company de- cided not to fight antitrust law viola tons brought against 1t in federal court in New York City.
 This week three executives of the firm, through their counsel, pleaded nolo con- tendere to the charges. Previously they had pleaded not guilty and still main tain their innocence, but rather than, fight the charges at this time when the firm is so busy with government orders entered the technical plea and suffered the maximum fines of $10,000 each for the three executives and $10,000 for the company. All of which may mean that the Army and Navy will get very prompt delivery on such orders as the American optical firm is now fulfilling and which apparently were threatened by the recent suits.
