The present procedure of having

TO bring about improved morale
aboard merchant ships, it was
learned yesterday.
A draft OF the proposed legiSla-
ton is being prepared in the Mar
inc Inspection Bureau In general,
it will provide that the inspection
boards at each port will have full
authority to mete out punishment
TO licensed personnel for violations
of inspection and navigation laws.
II was explained that under the
present system, where the boards
conduct investigation Of accidents
involving ships and violation of other
maritime laws, recommendations for
punishment and even the findings
must be sent 10 the bureau here
and to the department for final ac-
ton. before officers or men involved
may be punished if found guilty.
This. it was pointed out, is long
procedure, frequently involving eX-
tenSive correspondence, with the re-
suit that final action may be delayed
many months.
Under the proposed new proce-

may be expected, because punish

act as to make an impression on the
offender. Even if local boards found

Three members of the George

Gently completed books which have

of this country with Japan, another
on modern physics. and a third on
the problem of getting job.
Dean William c. Johnstone of the
junior college and professor of
political science, has written The
United States and Japan's New
Order" published by oxford Uni
verSity Press, dealing in detail with
American treaty rights in China and
their violation by the japanese.
In outlining a policy for the
United States in world at war,
Dean Johnstone maintains that the
traditional Objectives of this coun-
try-the open Door" maintenance
Of China's independence, protection
of American lives and property
wherever feasible, and opposition to
Japan's dictation of a new order in
East Asia-are still valid as long
range objectives, but that certain
immediate aims must be realized
before order and stability in the
Far East are possible.

The effect of Sovietism on the COM
munity may be judged by the fact
that the population declined from
2,416,000 just prior to the Bolshevik
revolution to $4,000 in 1920. Lenin,
for whom the city was renamed, and
his successor, Stain, admittedly tried
to do for the place what its founder
could not do. New industries were
introduced under their management,
and new workers were assembled to
operate the new machines. How
many munitions plants there are in

matter of debate. If Hitler seriously

Nuzis in Bolivia

Energetic action by the Bolivian
government seems to have sup
pressed, for the time being atleast, a
German directed bid for totalitarian
control of the South American re-
public. But it does not mean that
Bolivia, or any other of our Southern
neighbors, is safe from Nazi intrigue.
Bolivia, under the guidance of
President Enrique Penaranda de
Castillo, has been disposed to CO.
operate with the Government of the
United States in efforts to defend
the Western Hemisphere against any
form of foreign encroachment. But
Bolivia, as has been the case in other
South American nations, has strong
proNazi elements, particularly in
army circles, and is infested with
Nazi agents. For example, there is
the report that German Army
colonel and twenty other Nazis were
sent to the German Legation in La
Paz recently as attaches. When so
large delegation is sent to so small
a country, it is safe to assume that
something more than legitimate dip
lomatic business is on the agenda.
Bolivia is an important producer
of tin, as we'll as other minerals
which are vital to the American and
British war effort. At the same
time, however, she has suffered
severely as result of the Chaco war,
in which her German trained army
was defeated by Paraguayan forces,
and it is quite probable that the
Nazis hoped to combine their favor
able position in Bolivia with that
country's inherent weakness to
spring a putsch which would give
them a foothold in the Western
Hemisphere. while denying Britain
and the United States access to
Bolivian sources of raw materials.
Available evidence seems to indi-
cate that the putsch was about to
be launched prematurely. In this
case, that suggests weakness rather
than strength, but it would be a
serious mistake for any one in this
country to underestimate the potenti-
alities of totalitarian- inspired revolt
in Latin America.

Not So Hot

A heating expert at Columbus,
Ohio, proposes to put the furnace
in some spare room at the back
of the house, and blow the heat all
over the rest of it with fans; all this,
to eliminate the cellar entirely so
that no one will be troubled keeping
it dry.
The experts house may be reason
ably warm, but his scheme is not so
hot. What if the cellar is all wet?
So is the notion of doing away with
it. What is home without cellar?
Nowadays it takes the place OF the
attic of yore, only more so. Noisy
children are sent there to work OIL
steam, and while their merry yowls
may have just as many decibels, not
so many leak out to the rest of the
house. 1t is the place where their
pet rabbits spend the winter. 1t is
also the game room, the home OF
subterreanean ping pong. Above all,
it is the ideal place for all the family
Junk which formerly went to the
attic. The cellar has darker corners,
and these give the man of the house
a sporting chance to hide his precious
though temporarily discarded treas
ures when his wife starts one of her
periodic cleanup campaigns that are
so profitable to the junkman.

Lonqer Life Span

Though men and women who have
survived the diseases of infancy and
reached maturity cannot look for
ward to a substantially longer life
span than their ancestors who
achieved the same ages a century
or more ago, advances in medical
science and Improvements in living
conditions, by reducing mortality
rates among infants and young per-
sons, have materially extended the
average life span in the United
States. This is the most important
fact revealed in the new life tables,
issued by the Census Bureau on
Saturday. Based on an examination
of mortality statistics during the
period 1930-1939, the bureau finds
that the average length of life OF
white persons in the United States
is now sixty-two and five-tenths
years, an increase of nearly thirteen
years since the turn of the century,
and three and three-tenths years
more than in 1880.
Extension of the natural life span
has conferred little benefit on those
who have reached the Scriptural
age of three score years and ten. An
analysis of the new tables show that
the life expectancy of seventy-year-
old white males has increased by
only a fraction of year since 1900
from seventy-nine to seventy-nlne
and three-tenths. For persons in
their middle years, the increase in
life expectancy has been somewhat
larger. At age twenty, the gain, for
males, is more than four years, and
for females nearly six years. During
the past forty years, the infant death
rate in the United States has been
cut in half.
Since 1900, according to the census
figures, the average lifetime OF
women has been extended a year
more than that of men. Since wom-
en-, on the average, live longer than
men, with lower death rates at all
ages, census experts predict that
the United States, if present trends
continue, will soon, for the first time
in its history, show a female ma
jority, a shift in the balance of the
sexes that might well have important
political, as we'll as economic and
social Implications
