YMCA WORKER
James Brown Stripped

A story OF the brutalizing torture

vealed this week in an interview

Council in New York, because
Brown is safe, He returned to this
country in an exchange OF our
diplomats and nationals for those of
our enemies.
81 Years In Rumania
Brown had been 81 years in
Rumania as staff worker for the
International Committee Of the
YMCA. His welfare efforts for
Rumanians and Polish refugees
probably put the Nazis on his trail
The Gestapo first arrested him last
August 20 on charges Of espionage
for the British. He was held for 4S
hours.

Are You Needlessly
Suffering Constipation?

Many people think that consti-
patton is "one of those things"
you must put up with. That the
only thing you can do is take a
purge or cathartic-and hope 1t
doesn't come soon again. How
foolish that is if you, like mil
lions of others, have the ordinary
kind of constipation that's due
to lack of bulk" in the diet.
Kellogg's All-Bran is probably
just what you need! This crisp.
delicious cereal has the bulk
forming properties your intes-
tines need to function regular
ly"! 1t gets at the cause of your
trouble and corrects 1t - helps
you get back to normal, easy
elimination. Eat All-Bran regu-
larly, drink plenty of water, and
help free yourself from consti-
patton. All-Bran is made by
Kellogg's in Battle Creek. If
your condition is not helped by
this simple treatment, it's wise
to see doctor.

Virtually every navy in the
world gives it's sailors a daily ra-
ton of rum, wine or some other
alcoholic drink, an exception be-
ing the United States navy, in
which the practice was abolished
in 1862 However, the American
boys may have as many as doz-
en- cups of coffee a day, although
their average consumption is not
more than six cups.

A Smooth Aruument

One of the latest civilian comforts
to get swallowed up in the Unsuitable
NAV of war is the humble but i'm
portant razor blade. But in this
streamlined age, according to GER
tain roadside jingles which warn
against the perils of the facial jun
gle, the young man who clicks in the
game of love is the one with smooth
face-but how can he click now? Or
is it possible for the ladies, accepting
the inevitable, to regard their swains
with the same alteration that they
did in the gay 90s, when the stand
ard equipment of the well-dreSSed
gay blade was a heavy and fancy
growth of whiskers? Can patriotism
prevail over natural feminine fas-
tidiousness?
OF course, there is always the
used razor blade. Once it was en-
ployed mainly to fill up the Grand
Canyon, according to gag artists,
but now it has become precious.
An appeal is made to the wives of
America to desist from their mad
dening habit of borrowing their hus-
bands blades to sharpen pencils.
They will be doing themselves a favor
if they stop this practice as long as
razor blade steel is needed to help
whittle down the Axis.

that its gasoline requirements rem
dered 1t hazardous and that, all in
all, the Otter was less economical and
less practical than conventional
freighters.
Publication of reports that the Sea
Otter had not been given a real
chance to show what it could do led
to the investigation just completed
by the Senate Naval Affairs Subcom-
mittee. AS the members of the sub
committee pointed out, the Sea Otter
may not be practicable or desirable
but in view of the interest originally
shown by naval authorities, it's spon-
sorS certainly should be given a
reasonable opportunity to make good
on their claims for it. Only a con-
elusive demonstration OF It's success
or failure as wartime cargo carrier
is likely to terminate the controversy
which has developed over the un
orthodox ship.

Food for Freedom

With bankers throughout the
country planning to give full support
to the Food for Freedom program by
advancing a maximum number of
loans to farmers, Virginia financiers
already have started conferences
with agricultural interests on the
best methods of supplying needed
bank credit. This program has been
advocated by the administration and
the American Bankers Association.
For years the United States has
been burdened with huge surpluses
of foodstuffs and farm products, a
circumstance which makes 1t diff
cult to realize that the war has
changed the picture drastically. The
prospect for the future points not to
surpluses, but to actual deficiencies,
with a fight on starvation" antici-
pated by some pessimistic fore
casters. 1t now is held possible that
millions in faraway parts of the
world may Starve during and after
the present conflict is ended.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
recently told leading bankers that
the Nation is calling on the farmers
for the greatest farm production in
history. These products will serve
as munitions of war" to furnish
health and strength to the people of
America and the United Nations, and
must be produced on the six million
farms of America.
The services of the banks and of
farm credit institutions are needed.
Huge sums will be required to finance
the greater farm demands. The
money will help start bigger crops by
paying for added machinery and labor
all necessary in the production of
larger harvests.
To furnish the American farmer
with capital for the Food for Free
dom program is the function of
the bankers, and those in the rural
areas naturally are leading this effort
toward more intensive cultivation.
The enlarged crop objective will not
be permitted to suffer for any lack
Of credit.

A NEW HOPE
BY the Right Rep James Freeman, D. d. ILL., D., D. c. l.,
Bishop of Washington.

Man cannot believe that the stern
and tragic experiences of life end with
the tomb. He cannot believe that the
persistent cry of his spirit for a fuller,
more abundant and satisfying life is to
be denied him. In such days as these,
that tell of disaster on sea and land and
in the air, he cannot accept the stern
dictum that death ends all" For the
noble heroisfns Of her sons on far-fung
battlefields and seas a posthumous re-
wards is not enough. Distinguished serv-
Ice medals will not aSsuage the pain Of
those who suffer from inconsolable grief.
Rewards of honor and the high praise of
a grateful people will not suffice. There
must be the firm and unchanging belief
that higher rewards are the just need
for meritorious service. That our sons
believe this is witnessed in their heroic
devotion to duty and their loyalty to
challenging cause.
Cold indeed is praise and honor with
out the belief that there is beyond life's
"fitful Sleep the assurance of higher
reward the reward of the attainment
than that of the risen Saviour of man
kind has given assurance of life's final
and highest attainment. At best. life
here is the scene of accomplishment and
failure Even the best cry out at the
end of the way, so much to do, so
little done" The shadows of death
seem to bring to an end the endeavors
of all men. The human heart rebels
and seeks for the higher fulfllment of
its desires. Tennyson was right when he
wrote that, in his deeper musings man
affirms:
Thou madest man, he knows not why,
He thinks he was not made to die"
Christ alone has affirmed that, beyond
this vale of strife and tears, there is the
larger, fuller life. 1t is this that Easter
proclaims, and it is on this glowing day
man finds the satisfaction of all his
hopes, and moves on in confidence to
the consummation Of his highest ex-
pectations and his deepest yearnings.
We approach this latest Easter with
strengthened and revived faith. Let
us again pledge our whole allegiance
to Him; let us in our individual lives
give new demonstration of the resur-
rection power of Him who rose on
Easter day.

concerning him. Yet week by week
for more than half a century the
impact of his genius has been felt by
the world.
Such is the power of the press.
Beginning in 1908, Mr.. Garvin was
THE Observer" of London. He wrote
its principal editorials, shaped all it's
policies. directed its presentation of
the news, controlled even the least of
its services to its readers. Perhaps it
will be said of him that he was the
last of the intellectual giants of Brit
ish imperial journalism. He has had
no peer and probably can have no
successor. The recent announcement
that he has relinquished the edi-
torial chair" may not signify his
complete retirement. He Is a COM
parative youngster at 73. But con-
ditions are changing, and it may be
his own deliberate choice to retire.
1t would be a pity, however, If Mr..
Garvln's tradition were to end. He
was one of the few masters of Eng
lish prose of whom it could be af-
firmed that he labored for a world
public. His style was Olympian. The
artistry with which he phrased his
thought contained the secret of its
attraction. He wrote with a noble
zeal and in a noble manner, and the
explanation of both his intensity and
his grace was to be found in his pas
sionate earneStneSs. He believed that
the editorial profession was a sacred
trust, whose requirements are as
high as those of the pulpit and the
bench. 1t followed that he preached
and judged with fervency and dig
nifty. Yet his wit also was note
worthy. He could flash like congeniaI
lightning when he wished.
The moment at which Mr.. Garvin
lays down his pen is fateful in its
implications. Many on both sides of
the Atlantic will hope that he will
not feel that he never again may help
to shape the pattern of the human
mind and soul.
Evening star., 1942-04-05
Easter

No Easter of the past has meant
so much to living Americans as this
Easter necessarily must mean.
Among the generality of men and
women now in the prime of their
lives the sacred narrative of the
Crucifixior and the Resurrection has
had little personal application. Only
with conscious effort of the imagina-
ton could those who read it or heard
1t read receive 1t into their own
experience. Golgotha was so dis
tant, the tragedy enacted upon its
barren hill so far in space and time
from them and from their day, they
could accept it-yet they could not
feel its most poignant compulsion
How much more impressive on that
account is the drama of Easter in
1892! To uncounted thousands
death has come to have an intimate
significance since December 7. Again
humanity has risen to courageous
service for holy ends. Plain and
humble persons, made free of fear
by the challenge of their noblest
instinct, have gone out to emulate
in their own way the imperishable
story of sacrifice. They have died
and they are mourned as He was,
but they are not lost. His mission
in the world was to insure their i'm
mortality. 1t is for His greater love"
that they toll and suffer. Through
the power of His righteousness they
are promised their everlasting re-
ward. He is the Elder Brother of the
slain, and His hand lifts up the faces
Of their dearest bereft. Verify,
verify, say unto you, That ye shall
weep and lament, but the world
shall rejoice, and ye shall be sorrow
full, but your sorrow shall be turned
into joy"
1t Is the firm conviction of millions
Of Americans that the glad alterna-
tive Of present agony is certain to
be achieved. The earth is not des-
tined always to be the toy Of tyrants,
violence is not to triumph over rea-
son, hatred is not to have an ulti-
mate victory over fellowship nor
despotism over liberty. Rather, the
conquest of sin and disaster is to be
accomplished and preserved. The
Angel at the Empty Tomb points out
the future of the race, ransomed
anew by precious blood.
