"oUT OF THE NIGHT"

Jan Valtin, reformed Communist author of Out of the Night" has offered to make an interesting wager with Ralph Ingersoll, publisher of the New York newspaper PM.
 Ingersoll's paper has claimed that parts of the best-selling autobiogra : phy were pure fiction, and has argued that if Valtin were whipped in the manner described in his book, there would be scars on his face To this, Valtin made the following proposal through his attorney, Nor ris Ernst:
 Tell Ingersol to put up $1,oO0, and I will let anyone he chooses lash my face thirty times first, however, wetting it. After two months, if there is a scar on my face he gets back the s1,0G0 If there is no scar I keep the $1000.

 There were reverberations inside the Maritime Commission, where Admiral Ladd, the chairman, took the matter up with the President.
 And there were even more violent reverberations in circles outside the Commission-na namely in the breast of Thomas c. Corcoran, one-time braintruster, who is now a Demo- cratic attorney
 Democratic lawyer Corcoran pro- tested vigorously at the tactics of Democratic lawyer Rosenblatt. No one, he told Maritime friends, had 6 right to take liberties with the Presidents word
 Some of these friends marveled st the Corcoran wrath. remember ing how for many years he himself had quoted the President Later, they discovered that Tom was close to Harold Deming, the other lawyer for the Norwegian Shipping Com mission.
 NOTE. All-important objects of this lawyers row, the much-needed Norwegian ships still are in French Africa. with Germany fast en- croaching on that area.

SUNDAY, APRIL 20

Benefic aspects and adverse in- nuences contend today. The early morning is fortunate for leaders | religious and political. It is not an suspicious date for the clergy who desire to begin any new philan- thropic project.
 Heart and Home: Women are subject to stimulating and inspir- ing influences today which should be fortunate for attending church and adjusting ones faith in the ability to overcome human weak nesses. Under this sway war anxie- ties may make the head of the family difficult and fault-finding Interest in religion will be greatly qulckened through the summer when the Roman Catholic Church will gain many proselytes.
 Business Affairs: Intense activity in merchandising and manufactur ing will mark next month when commerce will be affected by com plications in the Pacific Ocean. Large sums of money will be poured out by the Government un- der a national emergency. In com ing weeks the real power of the nation will be tested financially and defensively. Continuation of all the forces of men and means will prove how truly great is the democracy which now must prove it's strength.
 National Issues: Protection of the institutions as well as the property of the United States will become Of supreme concern before mid- summer. There will be unity of thought and effort in preparing for coming events which even the least prophetic persons will fore ! see. Extremes will be necessary in providing needed help for Britain. Desperate chances may be taken i'll reducing our national stock of destroyers and materials necessary to prosecuting the world war.
 International Affairs Coopera- tion with the other Axis powers will be demonstrated in maneuvers by Japan and surprise moves cn sea and land. Secret and treach- erous tactics will be introduced while protestations of friendship for the United States continue. The seers warn that through three or more decades espionage has been f carried on in the United States, So that many of our naval and mili- tary plans are familiar to Oriental leaders.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair success in which certain perplexi- ties will be troublesome. Litigation should be avoided, also new finan- cial ventures.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be fortunate in their lives. They may meet obstacles, but they should have the ability to overcome impediments of all sorts

Asks Food
Relief Start
Norwegian
Suggests Supplies
For Young

While a general plan for feeding
Europe would be impractical, the
question of getting food to the oc-
cupied nations there might be solved
of each nations problems were con-
sidered individually, in the opinion
of DR.. Karl Evang, surgeon general
of public health in Norway.
DR.. Evang, who is here on special
mission, yesterday addressed the
world fellowship luncheon of the
Young Womens Christian Associa-
ton.
The speaker expressed belief the
question of food relief would have to
be dealt with sooner or later and
suggested that start could be made
by sending supplies for limited
groups, such as babies and school
children.
The people of Norway and other
conquered" countries are still re-
sisting the Nazi system, he pointed
out, asking that they be given the
rights of belligerents. They are also
realistic. he added, and know there
is food surplus here, but none in
Great Britain.
DR. Evang, who left Norway with
members of the government now in
England, was joined recently by his
wife, who lived for nine months un-
der the occupation before her escape
She brought mot only burning
hope, but firm conviction" that the
democracies will win the war, DR..
Evang said. Pointing out that her
conviction Is shared by others, he de-
clared: 1--WE have seen the German
people and don't think that they can
rule the world"
Also expressing the belief that
the strength of the Nazis has been
overestimated, DR.. Evang continued
that he did not believe it "wishful
thinking" to say it is dangerous for
the Nazi system to come in contact
with free people. He mentioned
occasions on which Nazi troops had
been ordered back to Germany be-
cause of the weakening of their
morale. He made the point that
the Nazi system can only live in
isolation, saying that, after contact
with free people, the Nazis begin to
feel that they are the prisoners.
Mrs. William S. Culbertson Is
chairman of the committee which
arranged the luncheon.
