By Rev. Martin

Rev. A. F. Martin, new pastor of
Bethesda Baptist Church, Mime

Minneapolis Spokesman, "a smart
jackass" and said, 81 want no part
of him, walking or riding" Sunday
morning, after the close of services
at that church.
Rev. Martin was referring to
Cecil Newman who has edited Ne
gro periodicals in this vicinity for
Ia years.
Martin had preached what listen
ers called a good sermon on the
virtues of christianity, and its
values" baptized a convert, and
conducted the Lords supper.
Rev. Martin came to Minneapolis
from a small church in Lawrence.

veteran preacher of 25 years. ex-

Two weeks before he came to

campaign in the Spokesman. When
Martin arrived dissenters to the
proposed ad and publicity cam

Martin finally told his trustee
board and church to break the con-
tract which they had authorized
with the newspaper.
Martin talked with the publisher
of the paper by phone Dec. 3, and
ordered the ad cancelled. When
reminded that the church had q

C. D. S.-For the past few years
my mother has prophesied a bad
future for me. 1 can clearly see
why she is so belligerent with me
in some cases, but surely not in all.
/ am a little unruly at home, but l
am girl of high morals otherwise.
Should 1 worry over the bad luck
mother predicts? Don't you think
mother and my younger sisters are
as much to blame for the confusion
going on in our home as l am?
Ans: Why should a smart and
intelligent girl like yourself fight
a battle right in the home month in
and month out? Decide right now
to get along with your mother and
sisters even though it does 60
against the grain considerably. No
doubt all are to blame but your
mother has a duty to perform, that
is to bring you up to be a decent
and respectable girl and she can't
do so without your cooperation.
I'm sure that if you were to obey
her and carry out her wishes, you
would live a much happier life
there at home. Her prophecies of
the future may or may not take
place, but make up your mind to
see that they do not. Train your
self to get along in the home
if you do not you couldn't ex-
pect a happy home life when you
are married.
E. R. HI have a friend who is
awfully nice. He told me he did not
have wife or a girl friend. But
1 find out differently. He has a
friend right in my same apartment.
He tells me what 1 don't see, don't
worry about. What must 1 do?
Ans: In your case, just make up
your mind that he is going to have
other friends and stop worrying
about it. Do the same thing your

Sport Light
(By Jimmie Lee)

There are only a few major
changes in the 1941-42 basketball
rules, chiefly of which are: The
three-second lane restriction ap-
plies only to that part of the lane
between the free-throw lane and
the end lines. ..
A substitution may be made any
time the ball is dead. ..
To encourage standardization, it
is recommended that basketballs
without seams (sewed) be used ex-
clusively. The standard back
board has an overall width of 81
inches. The larger rectangular
board is still legal but the rules
committee recommends that the
standard board be installed in all
new buildings and that on all other
courts the changes be made as soon
as possible. All other changes
in the rules are minor.

Canal defenses are not what they
should be, G.t they are gradually
being strengthened. The measures
being taken fall into both the "ac-
tive" and passive" resistance cate
gories. Armor has been placed on
locks and other vulnerable struc-
lures, and in vital parts of the
channel are installations which look
like torpedo-arresters.
Civilian visitors can view all these
things from afar. but it almost re-
quires an act of Congress these
days to get within a thousand yards
of any of the series of locks.
The armed services are preparing
to defend the Canal, if the occasion
arises, by orthodox means. But
what worries them most is an un-
orthodox attack. A single airplane,
winging in with a load of bombs ac-
curately dropped, possibly could tie
up traffic for weeks.

Now Germany is getting an ad-

He was about 25 years old, dressed
in brown leather jacket and brown

Chief of Detectives Bernard w.

their efforts on getting further in

Police had believed at first that
the murderer was person known
to Mrs. AbramowitZ. but have now
swung to the belief that some
stranger may have gained admit
tance to the apartment.
Written statements have been
taken from all residents of the
apartment on their activities on the
day of the murder, but have shed
no light on the case.
Inspector Thompson said he was
still without any definite clue.
Mrs. AbramoWitz's body was found
on March 8, exactly one month
after her marriage. There was no
sign of a struggle in the apartment

area" plotted with mathematical
accuracy by the armed services of
the United States as potential dam
ger spots in the defense of the
Panama Canal.
From those darkness areas-black
bands which daily move from east
to west with the stately dignity of
the solar system-swarms of air.
planes might spring in wartime,
bent on Gripping the waterway.
To the west the band, measured
in terms of hours, is narrower than
1t is to the east because an enemy's
aircraft carriers approaching from
the Pacific would be churning to-
ward the new day, instead of away
from it.
And, on the Atlantic side, the
advantage accruing to an enemy
from longer hours of darkness would
be subject to a sharp discount be-
cause a chain of islands has been
erected there by nature as sentinelS

Beyond the bands of darkness lies

light areas, in time of war, that
reconnaissance planes would patrol
ceaselessly to thwart surprise at
tack.
But the defense of the Panama
Canal is predicated only in part
upon the possibility of an attack by
sea. An air assault might come
from the north or the south.
1t might not be an air assault at
all. The crew of a vessel in transit
through the Canal could try to sink
the ship in a narrow channel, or
blow it up in a lock. An attempt
to wreck the Canal might occur
hours before actual hostilities were
declared. 1t might occur months
after war began.
Canal defense plans. like all hypo-
thetical warfare, are a sort Of chess
board problem. On the chessboard,
the Army and Navy have tried to
figure out in advance all the rea-
sonable strategies of an adversary.
Their greatest concern Is the
chance of an attack while our single

That would split it, half on the
