Another Dream Vanishes
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Once upon time the Russians thought it would be fine thing if the private soldiers in their army elected their officers, discussed every command given and held debate whether to go into action or not That in the days when the Bolshevik revolutionaries kidding the people with slogans of land and bread" and creating soldiers and sailors soviets.'
 Conditions have changed That great hero of the people Joe Stan, will take no chances with the people, not with those citizens drafted into the Red Army. Not long ago conventional ranks were restored to the armed forces. Singleness of command reestablished and the post of Political CommiSSar who had split authority With the military commander abolished.
 introduced which go far beyond anything in any other army in the world To cite from the new code
 Tn the event of disobedence. open resistance or malicious breach of discipline the officer has the right to use all measures of compulsion including arms The officer moreover, shall not be responsible for the consequences if he should be compelled to discipline Any officer who fails to show tough ness and decision will himself be tried by a military tribunal"
 According to the Peoples Commissar for De- fense, Marshal Semyon K. Timoshenko, the purpose of the regulations is ito nSti in all ranks of the Red Army the realization that the officers order is law, and that all familiarity and pseudo -democra- cy in the relation between the officer and his sub- ordinate cannot have place in the Red Army. The enlisted absolutely forbidden to discuss any order.'
 An army run on the early soviet system, like other fairyta}es to which the Russians paid allegi ance, has vanished with experience. Just let some poor drafted mujik shout Long live the soldiers and sailors soviets!"

WE STILL BELIEVE

The notion, bred of the cynicism of the Harding Coolidge era that hero worship is a childish display of emotion not to be indulged in by any grown up nation is, in the scholarly opinion of Prof Dixon Wecter of the University of California, not only fa- lacious but extremely dangerous
 In a book "The Hero in America" published last month Prof. Wecter makes it clear that what a nation thinks about its great is essentially what it thinks about itself, and that whether or not all it believes about it's heroes is true is beside the point He warns that any nation which, like the France of 194O is longer able to evoke the spirits of its dead heroes in time of crisis is doomed
 This is indeed a disturbing thought when it is realized that the debunkers of American history and heroes are still abroad in the land, attacking our most cherished folklore in the supposed interest of scientific accuracy In fact Prof. Wecter points out, many of the debunkers have invented accept ed derogatory interpretations of our history which far from true as of the laudatory errors they seek to correct
 Such for instance, is the attempt to make the younger generation believe the North and South went to only for economic reasons However much the conflicting economies of the two sections at the root of the trouble the fact is that both Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee, and their respective followers, motivated by ideals far removed from the pocketbook.
 It is this false interpretation of Americas participation in the World War which has long delayed our effective support of the democracies in the present conflict.
 And yet, if apply Prof Wecters yardstck find that America is still fundamentally strong As he points out, Americas heroes are all men of good will, The greatest of them, the two who have evaded most successfully all attempts to make them into mere party saints and have stood like stone walls against the brickbats of the debunkers, are Washington and Lincoln.
 And why they greatest heroes? Because while both hated they both hated oppression more than war Because both put country above self. We love the Washington who gave up pleas ant life at Mount Vernon to lead bedraggled army against the trim, wel-trained soldiers of the king, the Washington who walked among his suffering men

LONELY DIPLOMATS

Representative Edith Nourse Rog- CTS of Massachusetts pricked up her ears when family matters were mentioned in a House Appropria- tions Committee hearing. The State Department was asking for funds to bring home on leave the junior members of our foreign ser vice.
 Are these clerks allowed to marry foreign girls?" asked Mrs. Rogers.
 The State Department spokesman said they were, explaining that if they didn't have chance to get home once in a while and meet American girls, the young diplomats were very likely to marry foreigners
 "One advantage of this bill said the official, lis that it will give these young men better oppor- tunity to marry American girls. You take young fellow and send him away 5000 miles from home, and he can't afford to go home on leave and if you say, No, you canno; marry a foreigner what is he going to do?"
 Mrs. Rogers spoke again: He i. probably lonely over there, too"
 You bet he is lonely" said tht official.
 The bill was favorably reported and is now law.

As a result, they said, the existing stockpile has been depleted. They forecast as an immediate possibility the recruitment of $2-a-year men, the supply of which is virtually in exhaustible.
 "A hitch in this solution to the problem, however, may develop be- cause of the activities of the De- fense Commission Price Stabiliza- tion Division, whose director, Leno Henderson, is known to fear a price spiral if this plan is adopted. Taking quick steps to meet the emergency, Jesse H. Jones, Federal Loan Administrator, announced that he was considering a $12,OOO,- 900 loan to American industry to enable production of several thou sand gross of dollar-a-year men.
 Immediate delivery, he warned, cannot be expected, inasmuch as the plan contemplates production of the executives through training from within apprenticeship program. En- bryo dollar-a-year men will begin as first vice presidents in hundreds of American industries, he explain ed, earning $25, 1000 annually to start with, and working down over the course of a few months to the $1 salary. Once they have achieved this status, industry spokesmen said, they will be released to the Govern ment."
 Note-One top OPM official will have no part of the $1-a-year men. He is General Counsel John Lord O'Brian, who has barred them from his staff All lawyers in his division can have no private business coli nections and must work on full time government pay basis.

the occupied countries run into an other misfortune in Lisbon, Por- tugal, last open port in Westerr Europe.
 The U. $. Secret Service has learned of giant counterfeit ring in Lisbon, believed to be operated by Nazis, which has been ruthlessly preying on refugees waiting for pas sage on few ships and planes leaving for America.
 Large sums of phoney American money and raised" notes have been exchanged for francs and other European currency at so-called Black Bourse,' where refugees are led to believe they will get higher exchange rate, in dollars, than al banks.
 The Secret Service was informed of the racket by PortugeSe officials who believe the bogus money k being printed either in Germany ol Czechoslovakia. Thousands of refu. gees have been fleeced by the coun- terfeiters.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
SUNDAY, MAY 4

Adverse planetary aspects rule today. Under this planetary gov ernment the mind may be inclined to question the eternal verities. It is a difficult sway for the clergy.
 Heart and Home: Under this configuration women may be rest less and apprehensive. It is easy to deceive oneself while this rule Of the stars prevails and it is well to forget personal grievances in service for others. This is not an suspicious date for letter-writing since the inclination may be to mention worries or troubles. Girls should avoid finding fault with con- ditions in their college work or ge-earning positions. This day may be peculiarly depressing to the aged.
 Business Affairs: Again there is an evil portent for labor and it's relation to the defense industries. The week is likely to bring about important decisions affecting large numbers of workers. Prosperity will continue in the United States through history making summer. Wholesale clothing manufacturers will push production for export Manufacturers of uniforms and shoes will speed output to meet urgent needs abroad. As many trades still lack experts intensive training of young men and women will continue to be widespread. Girls will prove their ability to achieve success in novel lines of work
 National Issues: Ways to utilize the skill and ability of men and women in middle age will be de- vised as defense needs become more complex. Organized direction of philanthropic as well as official ef- fort will be imperative before mid summer. This month, the Seers forecast, will demonstrate that the war is not confined to Europe or Asia. The urgency of protecting democracy will be emphasized more sharply then ever before.
 International Affairs: Aspect favorable to the furtherance of re- ligious ideals are active at this time and will again encourage pro- posals for cessation of world hos tilities and the acceptance of peace terms. The seers warn that dan- ger turks in any pact made with Axis powers. Astrologers declare that while the second World Wal may not be Armageddon, it is tc be a conflict for complete victory or absolute defeat. The summer is to be a period of extreme experi- ences for the democracies.
 Persons whose birthdate it is will have opportunities to practice patience and tolerance in the com ing year. Adjustments, domestic and financial, are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fortunate in attaining prominence in any vocation choser as life work, although they may undergo certain delays and disap- pointments.

Adverse aspects rule today. Ob- stacles to constructive enterprises may develop and the motives or purposes of those who direct them may be misunderstood.
 Heart and Home: This is a day more fortunate for study or train ing in important work than it is for romance or recreation. Girls should devote attention to prepara- ton for serious tasks. It is not a lucky date for making new ac- quaintances among young men, al though there should be quick per ception of character which will be helpful later. Women of all ages now should accept the fact that their world outlook must change

an ancient family and are closely

Tulip trees are sturdy, dependable
American citizens. They furnish
shade and beautiful flowers for the
city-bound folks, and lumber to
build boats, finish the interiors of
houses, shingles for the roof, bas-
kets, veneers and even postal cards.
These trees do not attract the
hordes of insects many trees do
They live for many years as city
trees and apparently are not being
affected by the SCOT and dust or by
the fact their roots must be under
pavements.
However, we are thinking of them
in terms of conservation and value
insofar as they affect our re-
sources. IN America this tree is
