ANGEL, my Chinchilla Persian cat,
is war baby" Born in Paris soon
after the tense days of Munich, he
shared with me the adventures of Ger
man air raids. Together we fled across
invaded France; together we outwitted
the Gestapo; together we posed for the
news photographers in New York
harbor
IN PARIS, Angel soon became accus-
toned to air raids. The sirens sent him
scuttling to safety beneath the stairs
He learned about machine guns later,
during six-day nightmare ride be-
tween Paris and Bordeaux, mere min
utes ahead of the German advance
Once plane caught us on a road
through an open field. Angel, trained
to a leash, hates being carried. But this
time he clung to me with both paws
around my neck as | ran to hay
stack and hid from the machine gun
ners in the low-hying plane
LATER, when we were ready to sail for
home, was anxious to smuggle past
the German frontier guards several for
bidden items - money, my diary. some
political papers. decided to hide them
in the blanket in Angels travelling case
The guards ransacked my baggage
with true German efficiency Then one
reached into Angels case. The cats
normal reaction would have been to
accept caressing hand with gracious
dignity. But this time he drew his
exquisite little body up like steel
spring and spit - delicately but firmly
The hand jutting out of the green
sleeve withdrew hastily. Another Ger
man soldier frowned and started to
push the cat aside. Angel lifted his
furry white paw with lightning rapid
ity. The next thing | knew the soldier
was nursing long. bleeding scratch,
and growing at me to take that damn
cat OUT did-and in 50 doing picked
up the blanket too, with the forbidden
items unobtrusively folded inside. We
were promptly checked through.
IN NEWYORK HARBOR, Angel posed
serenely for the ship-news photogra-
pliers. Now, in his new home, he is hav-
ing a little trouble with the language
It's confusing to be called kitty,
kitty" instead of 'mi,iOn, min0nr'
But he will learn. Angel knows how to
get along. MARIAN DIX

wv imagine world without it; yet when
w the Declaration of Independence was
signed freedom was only dream. Nowhere
on earth was it fact and way of living.
Small liberties had been granted here and
there to special groups. but they were privi-
leges which could be withdrawn at the whim
of any ruling tyrant. Men everywhere had
dreamed of freedom but none of them had
dared to live it. Only here, in a narrow clear
ing between the wilderness and the sea, were
men strong enough in their faith to proclaim
freedom as a fundamental right. Only here
were men ready to fight and die for freedom.
That freedom, won at Bunker Hill and Valley
Forge. has been our heritage of strength and
courage through the years.
Today this continent is again the only
stronghold of freedom in the world, and we
are just as determined to preserve our liberty
as the men of '76 were to create it. Yet
perhaps because we inherited our liberty and
neither toiled nor fought for it, many of us
have a tendency to exaggerate our weak
nesses and minimize our strength.
We worry about national defense, as indeed
we should Yet today a billion wheels turn,
millions of men and women are working to
defend America. Do you know what prepared
ness meant in l775? That summer the Cont
mental Congress appealed for thirteen thou
sand warm coats to outfit the Continental
Army before cold weather came. No con-
tractors swarmed to Philadelphia - there
weren't any contractors. Factories didn't be-
gin to hum - there weren't any garment fac
tories. But farm women from New Hampshire
to Georgia sheared their sheep, washed and
carded and spun the wool, wove the cloth and
made the coats, so that thirteen thousand
farmers could march out to face the might of
the British Empire - thirteen thousand
against the British Army, the British Navy
and thirty thousand Hessian mercenaries
0UT. you say, the colonists were united in
their fight for liberty - they weren' bothered
by fifth columnists. Actually the people of
this continent are more solidly united today
than they have ever been. We disagree openly
and loudly, which is our right and our duty;
but on the fundamental problem of defending
America there is no disagreement. When our
War for Independence began the colonies
split wide open. half the people and most of
the money going to support the English 1t
was the embattled farmers the 'rabble in
arms the idealists and the -isted dream
ers who fought for independence. Exactly
week before the signing of the Declaration of
Independence George Washington discovered

Thailand continued pressure on the
northeast and northwest frontier
sectors of kedah and Kota Bharu,
after having cut across the narrow
Nalayan peninsula and established
what approximated solid front. The
British reported severe fighting in
progress and said that five Japa-
nese planes had been shot down,
The Dutch reported they had sunk
two more japanese supply ships,
giving them a total Of six since
they reported On Saturday the
sinking of four transports carrying
1000 men.
japanese propaganda broadcasts
said that the invading forces were
within about l55 miles of Singapore
apparently due to a landing at
Kuantan on the east coast OF NAL
ava less than 200 miles north OF
the big British naval base. The
British previously had reported
| landing attempts in the Kuantan
sector but had indicated that they
were repulsed or under control,
Todays British dispatches did not
mention this sector, but emphasized
that the Japanese were fighting
strongly in the northern jungles.

That may come later, if the Rec

CHECK ON HITLER

Russia. then, stands as The chief
brake on Hitier'S expected next
move in Europe, Africa or the Mid
die East. There have been various
gueSses as to where he Will attempt
to strike. The most common one Is
in North Africa through the French
colonies to offset the axis reverse.
in Libya. If this is accompanied by
reuuisitioning of the French fleet
increased forays in the Atlantic
might be expected, with the object
OF preventing American reinforce
mcnts being sent from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.
In this connection, some observers
sec the possibility OF a German.
move through Spain into north ano
west Africa. Spain, while neutra.
Is involved deeply with the axis.
Another possibility which has
been repeatedly discussed and still
exists is that Hitler, having beer
frustrated in southern Russia, may
trv to find an easier route to the
Caucasus and the Middle East thru
Turkey. The latter. which has beer
under German pressure. is plainly
uneasy. It may be significant that
Turkey has chosen this mSment tc
notify the United States that She
intends TO remain neutral.
One reason why observers fee
reasonably certain that Hitler vii
move in a new direction is the nee
cssity of restoring some of his
damaged prestige Failure to take
Moscow alone after Gcrmanys eX-
u,tant boaating, was a serious de-
