Businessman Gets Up at S AM.
To Train for II. S. 0. Hike
E. c. Lowthrop to Do
20 Miles in 9 Hours
Or Contribute $40

Ernest C. Lowthrop. District busi-
neSSman. who has made $40 bet
for the United Service Organization
that ne can walk 20 miles with a
50-pound pack. continued his train
ing for his ordeal by getting up at
5 am today to play some golf.
Mr.. LoWthrop. who is "a years
old. has cut his weight from l78
to l53 pounds by training. He said
mis- program consisted of bowling,
golf and walking.
The bet goes back to week ago
when Mr.. Lowthrop and salesman
in his firm were visiting at Fort
Belvoir, Va. They became involved
in a discussion of hiking when they
saw a tired-out soldier who was
lamenting that he had walked 20
miles with 50-pound pack in nine
hours.
MI Lowthrop, who said he had to
carry such loads as salesman, as
serted he didn't see anything re-
markable about that. The Salesmen
disagreed. The result of the argu-
ment is that Mr. Lowthrop will have
to walk 20 miles with a 50-pound
pack in nine hours or pay $40 to
the U. S. o. If he wins, however,
his employees will pay the $40.
The solo marathon is scheduled
to get under way at l;30 am. Sun
day, with many of Mr. Lowthrop's
employees on hand.
"A majority of the employees will
be on hand at the finish at any rate, -
Mr.. Lowthrop predicted today

MADRID, June PA Spanish
Legion, rs per cent of which is to
be composed of Spanish Civil War
veterans, is being formed to fight
with Germany against the Soviet
Union, it was announced today.
The remaining 25 per cent of the
legion will be men who can prove
their service to the Nationalist
cause" the announcement said.
Enlistments are for the duration
Of the campaign against Russia.
Recruiting stations will close
July 2.
Other conditions of enlistment
are that the volunteer must be be-
tween the ages of 20 and % and he
must pass a physical test. Legion
Aries will wear the traditional
Falange uniform of blue shirt and
red beret, and their families are to
receive money equal to the salaries

are obliged to keep jobs open until
the volunteers return from the front.
Recruiting agents said many"
had expressed a desire to serve.
Demonstrations Spread.
Meanwhile. anti-Soviet demon
ttrations spread throughout Spain.
Thousands of FalangiSts marched
through the streets of Spanish cities.
Demonstrations were held at Ubeda,
Cartagena. Toledo, Jaen, Corona,
Palma de Mallorca and El Escorial.
At Seville, crowds of students
march to the cry: Long live Hitler,
Mussolini and Franco and to death
with Communism!
The Falange recruiting followed a
report here that Adolf Hitler had
demanded formation of token anti
Communist force in each nation OF
his new Europe" but what Spain's
contribution to the fight against the
Soviets would amount to still was a
question.
Thousands of Spain's youth, pri-
marily veterans of the civil war,
were expected to sign the roster,
however.

trolled press. meanwhile, made clear
that Spain was virtually at war with
Russia.

What is America -- who can say?
 To many 6 boy 1t is the place in which he has learned to live his life in his own way. From early boyhood he played by himself or with the gang as he pleased. The playground and the swimming hole gave him & leader he followed with job, or a bully whom he lived to fight and down.
 In the schools he shared in the common taglIS and rewards as free- ly as he swapped his stamp, mar. bles and tops. He had no feelings of race, creed or class.
 Tn later years the chances of the boys and girls op the field and in the school room were whatever their courage of muscle and mind opened to them. There they had their first visions of equality and their chance to grasp whatever their hands or wits opened to them. Social ques- tions arose and made & background for their thoughts and experiences; but they saw them constantly brok- en down. Either as boys or girls their start and finish might be far apart
 As men and women America meant endless arguments and excit- ing campaigns; the idealiSm of re formers battling with political bosses: the free questioning of any persons. The opportunity to take part in any cause.
 To them America meant the thrill of sports, the cheers or boos ring. ing out over the field: 1t meant the contests open to all and the chance of winning over friend and foe alike.
 America meant the flicker of ex- citing films, the happy crowds at the summer beaches, and the rush and speed of traffic. It meant feaStS and wants, Christmas giving and the heart aches of shop windows, the Fourth of July noise, the Halloween pranks, and the summer picnics for the whole family.
 No bars of religion separated them from their fellows. They could work and live and worship as they pleased.
 Tn America they early acquired the habit of saying freely whatever they wanted to whenever they wished, but soon came to know that they must make good on the truth or go down with 1t.
 To them America had brought the highlightS and shadows of position, abundance and waste in the midst of poverty, extravaganza and char ity rubbing elbows with diScontent.
