Fine Program
Climax to the evening was the
program, appropriately given by
Mrs. Kutz since she served as jun
Tor club advisor for two years dur
ing the first years of the clubs
organization.
The program itself was an ideal
one for this type of affair, and
expertly presented by Mrs. Kutz
who gave three chapters from that
delightful book, Junior Miss" by
Sally Benson, which in play form,
is one of this seasons most sue
cessful comedies.
Selecting three chapters from the
book, those in which Judy, the
Junior miss, selects a coat, re-
veals unsupported dramatic talent,
and has her first date, Mrs. Kutz
kept her audience in constant
laughter over the trials, the tri-
umphs and tragedies of adolescence,
telling her story with sympathetic
appreciation for the Junior Miss"
with deft Characterization and Il
distinct gift for comedy.

DANGER INHERENT IN
UNIDENTIFIED PROPAGANDA

All propaganda is not bad. Often prop
uganda is actually news, serving to point
the way to coming events, or to spotlight
a public policy. Undoubtedly much of
the propaganda now broadcast over the
radio is good propaganda. 1t sells war
bonds, it explains the need for restric
lions, it serves a hundred and one purpos-
es. But some of it is bad, too. 1t at
tempts to perpetuate political ideologles,
to glamorize political figures, to get
votes
The worst danger is not in the propa
ganda itself, but in the lack of identifi
cation for it, The people can properly
evaluate propaganda when its source is
identified When the source is not iden-
titled, they are in the same danger to
which the Axis peoples long ago sue
cumbed. They are in danger Of not
being able to differentiate between prop
uganda and facts, nor even between good
and bad propaganda. If the people know
the source, they can figure out the mo-
tive. We believe it is their right to know
that source.
The radio is endangering itself, or is
being endangered, by permitting any kind
of broadcast without proper Identified
ton. Federal programs which origl-
nate in federal agencies should be so
labeled Sustaining programs, offered
by the station itself, also should be label
ed, Just as are commercial programs.

SECRET WEAPON
(OXnard PreSs-COurier)

(Oxnard Press-C ourier)
Hitler actually did have real and
deadly 'secret weapon when he launch
ed his career of crime against the world.
Only it wasn't an explosive or super
gun or new poison gas. 1t was an I'M
canny, accurate means of making long
range weather forecasts that would hold
up through a campaign in which weather
might be decisive.
That forecasting system, according to
Charles F. Sarles, staff expert of the
U. S. Weather Bureau, explains the
luck" of ideal weather conditions at
tending Hitler's major moves-the clear
dry weather for the mechanical push into
Poland, the Low Countries and France;
low visibility when the Nazis drove into
Norway, and the heavy fog through which
Nazi warships recently escaped from a
French port.
Taking a cue from the Germans, u. S.
technicians are developing a long-distance
forecasting method that will match and
probably excel the German system. Sar-
les told the American Geophysical Union
recently.
In no other war has military success
depended so much on accurate forecasts
of rain, wind, clouds and fog for weeks
ahead Along with mechanical blitzkrieg
and air power, weather is a modern weap-

Aroused by the unhealthy housing
In certain portions of the area the
Lincoln Park Citizens Association
last night moved that the findings
of its Housing Committee be re-
ported to the District Commissioners
and the House District Committee.
Under the Craftsmanship of VIII
liam Phelan, the committee found
that more than 800 houses in the
Lincoln Park section were unit for
habitation. No plumbing and heat
ing, and over crowded rooms were
given as the chief reasons for the
prevailing insanitary conditions
The group felt that with elimina-
ton of such areas and constructive
Government housing, solution to
the crowded housing conditions in
the District could be found.
Mr.. Phelan's motion requesting
paving of Twelfth street from East
Capitol to H street N. z. was passed.

New System Put Info Effect
Speeding Up induction

The new system for inducting Sc
lecSive service registrants, under
which they viii receive orders for
immediate induction, with physical
examinations after they are in the
Army, became effective yesterday.
In the past, men subject to call
received notice from their local
boards to report for the Army
physical examination and 1t was
usually about 10 days after they
passed this examination that they
received their induction orders. The
change was adopted at the request
OF the War Department, which has
agreed to grant immediate 1C-.day
furlouehs to men who need time to
wind up their civilian affairs.
