Ohio State Lands Smith, Worlds Finest Swimmer

Columbus, O., July.-Mike Peppe, the little firebrand who coaches Ohio States swimmers, has com- pleted a Hawaiian fishing trip by remote control and landed couple of prize founders.

 Nakana has completed his first year at Columbus and is set for collegiate competition. Smith will be his roommate unless he decides to wait & year. His decision is expected next month. Tn view of the probability of q lower draft age, 1t is doubtful that Smith will delay his collegiate entrance.
 Just why Bill Smith, who broke four world records, one long course world mark, five American standards, two national inter-Scho- lastic records and six other short course world and American marks In one year, needs an extra year of practice is g puzzle.
 The 17-year old Irish Hawaiian, son of an island policeman, rates as the swimmer of his generation. When he fully natures, he Is ccr- tain to rank as the finest paddler the world has ever known.
 A husky, curly-haired water baby, Smith holds records from 200 yards to 15O0 meters. Ills ver- satility extends to the one mile ocean course. He won the La Jolla, Cal, outdoor swim at that distance in 20:12.8 last year.

Threat to Production

In issuing its complaint against
Henry j. Kaiser, West Coast ship
builder, the National Labor Relations
Board has made the initial move in
legal battle which promises to be
long, bitter and costly to the war
effort. 1t also serves to illustrate
the practical disadvantages of plac-
Ing wartime labor relations under
the jurisdiction of two non-co-
ordinated Federal agencies.
The complaint against Mr.. Kaiser
Is an outgrowth of organizational
rivalry between the CIO and the AFL..
In three of his West Coast yards the
shlpbullder, according to the Labor
Board, entered into closed-shop con-
tracts with the AFL at a time when
ne had only few employees. The
C1O, which also wants to represent
the workers. contends that the con-
tracts are illegal because the men
with whom Mr.. Kaiser dealt did not
represent the Kaiser employees within
the meaning of the Wagner Act. For
this reason, the CIO says, the con-
tracts should be invalidated and an
election held to permit the thousands
OF workers now employed in the
Kaiser yards to choose their own
bargaining agent.
If the board, upon completing it's
hearings, issues such an order, there
Is every reason to believe that the
Kaiser shipyards will be the scene
OF the greatest organiza tional battle
OF the war. Harry A. Mills, chair
man of the NLRB, has expressed the
belief that the boards action will
Improve rather than impede produc-
ton Of ships. 1t is difficult, however,
to follow his reasoning. In the first
place, production in the Kaiser yards
can hardly be better than in the past,
although it is obvious that it could
be seriously impaired by labor trou-
BILE. Secondly, William Green, AFI.
president, has made it clear that his
organization will fight the effort to
1nvalidate its contracts with every
resource at its command. And, when
wishful thinking is put aside, it is
only reasonable to suppose that the
AFL will do precisely this.
Should this inter-union fight mate
rialize and lead to a loss of produc-
tion at the yards-as certainly would
be the case-then the National War
Labor Board would step into the
picture. It's job is to keep production
going, matter with which the NLRB
Is not directly concerned Ultimately,
no doubt, the situation will be
Strengthened out. But meanwhile, at
the most crucial stage of the war we
are faced with the prospect of losing
potential shipping which is most
urgently needed.

we fail to assure them that their struggle
will result in independence.

Polish allies; or by the Yugoslavs, carry
ing on their struggle from the noun
tains. Eight men from Styria, executed
by the Gestapo, are the latest witnesses
of the right of the Austrian people to
their independence
Yet, despite the age-old fight of the
people of Central Europe for independ-
ence, certain arguments against it have
been raised by the advocates of return
to an Austro- Hungarian empire. Events
which led up to this war supposedly
support them. The dismemberment of
an economic and cultural entity, Otto
of Hapsburg claims, helped Germany,
the strong neighbor. A powerful
Danubian state is necessary, the argu-
ment continues, as a bulwark against
all future German aspirations. The
second reason for the establishment
of Austria Hungary is the alleged
absurdity of these miniature states from
the economic point of view, because of
their dependence on each other It all
leads up to the return of the Hapsburgs
whose empire could be founded upon
centuries of tradition"
These arguments neglect the fact
that the tradition" of the Hapsburg
empire is the history of continuous
struggle on the part of small nations
against their rule. All Danubian nations
have developed strong national con-
sciences. Wishful thinking cannot
change this fact.
AS far as the economic situation of
small states is concerned, the Danube
Basin does not constitute a special
problem and therefore does not require
special answer. Actually, industrial
development has reached stage where
even the entire Danube Basin would be
too small to provide for a prosperous
economic life in autonomy. The solution
lies in the organization of the European
continent in cooperation with the rest
Of the world.
The mistake Of the peace treaties OF
1919 was not the establishment of ma
tional independence in the Danube
Basin. 1t is important to understand
that these treaties did not 60 one step
too far. Instead, they stopped short of
their goal. Recognizing the right of
self-determination as the supreme law
among nations and the basis for any
enduring settlement, they failed, how
ever, to organize Europe under economic
conditions which would have enabled
these small states to exist.
The crux of the matter seems to lie
in the democratic solution of the prob
lem Of individual freedom in organized
society, applied to nations: Every ones

THIS AND THAT

hair OF the typical small boy Its colors
are very sedate in tone, plain gray with
a slight touch of olive and bit of russet,
but not much of the latter.
All these titmice are beneficial birds.
Their main food is insects and seeds.
Owing to their continued activity, they
no doubt account for the destruction
annually of thousands OF harmful bugs"
Two other species of birds, with sew
eral forms each. are commonly associ-
ated with the titmice
These are the chickadees and the
nuthatches.
All of these birds come regularly to
local gardens, but more In winter than at
other times of the year. This means that
any suburban dweller who regularly will
feed the birds is very likely to see all of
them.
The black capped chickadee is the
only chickadee we have, but he is quite
fine enough to make up for all the
others
He is great friend of man, eating
thousands of insects, larvae and moth
eggs, including the moths of the tent
caterpillar. Snout weevils are a favorite
food.
The chickadee is a much rounder bird,
in appearance, than the titmouse, and
hence has endeared itself to all persons
who rejoice in roundness.
AS the cheerful chickadee" in one Of
the songs of Disneys Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs," 1t became favorably
known to thousands of persons who
perhaps regarded bird study as some
for he-men.
In addition to the ordinary black
capped chickadee, there are three other
species, the mountain chickadee of the
West, the chestnut-backed chickadee of
the Pacific Coast, and the Hudsonian
chickadee.
The Carolina chickadee is really
form of the black-capped. Most OBJ
servers cannot tell them apart. The
Carolina form Is slightly smaller and
duller in color, but unless the two were
side by side, not even an ornithologist
could be sure.
The chickadee is able to land upside
down, but is not able to walk in that
position, since its claws are not capable
Of it.
The white breasted nuthatch is the
common one hereabouts, but occasionally
the red-breasted is seen in winter.
Two other nuthatches are the brown
headed and the pygmy nuthatch. There
is said to be a gray-headed nuthatch in
| Florida, too.
The pygmy form, so-called, is only q
fourth of an inch smaller than the
others, so its name is rather stretch
of words. one may feel
| The white-breaSted nuthatch, the COM
mon. form, is a fine bird from every
viewpoint. Its name, by the way, comes
from its use of its bill to hatch" open q
nut. Our word "hatchet" comes from
J the same root.

General lie Jeune

Every great fighting organization
must have for its support an endow-
ment of traditional idealism. To say
that Lieutenant General John Archer
lie Jeune was part of the spiritual
fabric of the Marine Corps is to pay
him high tribute, He was military
character certain to be remembered
for the compelling power of his own
personality. Everything that he did
was an exemplification of what he
was. His unseen presence is an in
spiration in the Solomons and in
North Africa today That being true,
he would ask nothing more of any
fate.
General LIE Jeune, as Washing
tonians knew him, was a man of
very obvious distinction. Though
small in stature, he gave the i'm
preston of vast physical reserves.
Dark of complexion with black hair
and deep set eyes, he was nicknamed
"Old Indian" and appeared to enjoy
the sobriquet Strangers often re-
garded him as hardened in manner,
but actually he was patient and con-
genial Born in Louisiana, January
10, 1867, of French and Scottish de-
scent, he grew up in an atmosphere
dominated by father who had been
a cavalry officer in the Confederate
Army. His education was acquired
at Louisiana State University and at
the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
from which latter he was graduated
In 1888 1t would be feasible to write
the story of his career entirely in
terms of important events in which
he shared from boyhood onward. He
was on board the Vandalia when it
was wrecked in the Samoan hurri-
cane, March Is, 1889; he commanded
the marine detachment of the Gin
cinnati at Matanzas and San Juan
Point, Cuba, during the Spanish
American War; he took 400 marines
to the support of the revolution by
which Panama achieved independ-
ence in 1908; he was in charge at
Cavite Barracks in the Philippines
In 1907: he returned to Cuba to COM
mand the Santiago district in 1912;

This is strong language-perhaps too
Strong. What we are faced with is
not so much a scandal, in the ordi-

astonishing exhibition of bureau
cratic muddling and inefficiency.
Appointment of food administra-

for the food problem is not like that
OF rubber. The seat of the trouble
Is to be found on the farms, where
the shortage of labor, not to mention
equipment, already has forced some
curtallment OF production, and
threatens much more serious cur
taliment next year. The supply of
1arm labor has been permitted to
melt away, some going into the Army.
more into the factories. This latter
trend is a by product of the admin
lstratlon's wage and hour policies,
and there should be no surprise that
the prospect OF forty hour week
with time and a half for overtime
has drained the farms of labor. In
one way or another, however, these
vanished workers will have to be re-
turned to the farms, or substitutes
provided for them.
Presumably, this could be done bv
paying higher wages and decreasing
working hours on the farms. But if
This Is going to be the answer the
farmer will have to receive more for
his products, and this, in the normal
course, would have to be compen-
sated for through higher prices to
consumers. The Office of Price Ad-
mlniStration is extremely reluctant
to lift any of its price ceilings, how
ever, even though they were fixed at
level which fails to give proper
weight to the farmers wage and la
Dor problems. Higher food prices
would mean higher wages, and that
In turn would serve only to aggravate
the original blunders.
Another possible solution which is
being talked about calls for the paw
ment OF subsidies to farmers or dis
trloutors, or both. More money
hundreds Of millions of dollars
would be made available so that
farmers could pay higher wages and
receive more for their products with
out a direct increase in the prices
charged consumers. The catch is, of
course, that the public still would be
footing the bill, although it would be
more or less hidden in the ma
tlonal debt. To pursue this course
would amount to nothing more than
the use OF public funds to conceal
and compensate for the blunders of
official Washington. Perhaps it is
the easiest way out, but as a prece-
dent it is filled with highly disturb
Ing possibilities. 1t is to be hoped
that there will be no resort to it until
there has been at least some real
effort to deal with the causes which
are at the bottom of the problem

breaking proportions.
1t Is because of this that all but
essential travel should be curtailed
as far as possible, and the public
should be willing to cooperate. The
ODT expects the movement of serv-
1cemen on furlough, and of their
relatives and friends who visit camps
and stations, to account for the bulk
OF the holiday traffic, and it might
be said that this Is another good
reason for cutting down on ordinary
civilian travel.
The railroads-and bus lines-have
been bending their full energies to
get the best use out of their equip
ment, and the ODT also has taken
several steps toward the same end.
But the problem the carriers face
may be judged by figures quoted by
John J. Pelley, president of the Asso-
clation of American Railroads. in
urging the public to use discretion in
taxing trips. About 40 per cent OF
the total sleeping cars in the country
and IS per cent OF the coaches are
being employed for troop movements
alone, he reported. Including some
Implications, approximately 5000 900
soldiers, travelling under orders in
organized groups, were handled by
the railroads in the first ten
months this year, and indications
now are that the total passenger VOL
ume will be nearly twice that of
last year. Further, railroads do not
expect to be able to get any new
passenger equipment.
In view of the demands that must
be met by the carriers in moving
troops and supplies, it is perfectly
obvious that unless persuasion is
sufficient to keep the public from
needlessly occupying valuable space.
