SUITS US TO A TEE

Another silver lining in the news
how long con we dig up one doy?-
is that there won't be any more golf

This is designed to save some mil
lions Of pounds Of metal, useful for the
production Of war equipment, and to
free the services Of O couple Of thou
sands Of workers.
WE'LL if we hang tightly to our

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

what this proposed bill would
do is briefly this:
Suppose the government
wanted TO use patented, mo-
nopoIy-held proc ess Of the
manufacture Of magnesium.
The President would be GU
thorized to declare the need
of his moteriol, then issue q
license to anyone to produce
magnesium by this patented
process on payment OF desig-
mated royalties, for specified
times. Potent owners would be
permitted TO bring suit for poy-
ment Of royalties, but not for
injunctiin preventisg use OF
the patented process during
the emergency. After such O
declaration, no one would be
prevented from going into the
magnesium production bust
ness. In the case Of patents
held in such q way that alien
ownership cannot be estob-
lished, the government would
still be oble to toke the patents
by condemnation proceedings,
making foir compensation.
All this is pretty drastic me-
dicine in the eyes Of patent
holders and oId-Iine potent at
torneys. But it is O war meo-
sure. From some quarters, how
ever, there may be h cord
charges thot it is the first step
toward sterilization Of the
patent laws, or the seizure Of
privote property or franchise
for the use Of the stote.

HOLLYWOOD, April is --
People of the movies and all
the rest of the entertainment
world are generous in giving
their time and plenty OF cner-
gy to tours Of the m | tar y
camps and bases. But most Of
their efforts look like Sunday
afternoon piCniCs compared
with Joe f. Browns Alaskan
expedition.
He devoted five weeks to IT
and travelled 5000 miles In
Alaska itself He ranged from
the southern tip of the AlcXan-
der archipelago to Nome and
out on the Aleutian Islands to
Dutch Harbor. He visited posts
and outposts, navy bases, fly
ing fields. He was grounded and
detoured by weather, and once
was almost given up for lost on
a flight from Kodiak Island
when the storm battered plane
was more than three hours
overdue.
Brown is the first entertain
err who has been seen by our
armed forces in Alaska. He gave
one-man shows in theaterS, mess
halls, tents and shacks to groups
of men whose loneliness and
isolation can't be measured in
mere months or ,lileS. He turn
ed down a movie job in Holly
wood TO extend his tour. He lost
eight pounds, received no mon
ely for his work, but came back
feeling amply repaid.
NEED MORE FUN
The comedian won't like the
way I'm telling this, as if 1t
were his personal heroic advcn-
ture. What he wanted TO talk
about was the great need for
much more Of this sort Of thing
for the men in Alaska AS i'm

is the contact with people from
outside and the realization
they're willing to do what they
can TO brighten up life in the

But for Americans particularly, the
sudden shottering Of their magnificent

shock which could be discouroeing.

on every fifth coIumnist his capable

This is not, in any way, denioI Of
those freedoms Of speech and Of the

rocy could not endure Neither is it q
call for witch-burning, for the sort Of
hystericoI oppression which diseroced

Rather, it is frank recognition
that these United States ore pock-
marked with both noturoIized and
notive-born Americans who in word,

troyine this country to its foreign
enemies.
There is no excuse today, if ever

 The Pope's appeal was under stood to have resulted when the Vatican learned of German demands that all German, Austrian, Polish, Czech and Baltic JewAh refugees who sought safety in Frnace after 1886 be rounded up in both zones for deportation. If this roundup fails to provide Germany with enough farm and mine workers i'll Silesia and Poland, the Nazis reportedly will demand deportation of all Jews who entered France after 1883, the year Hitler came to power.
 The typical method of rounding up Jews has been to split up fam lilies sending the men and women to different camps and leaving the children unattended. Jewish emil gree colonies at Paris, Bordeaux and Lyons and Jews living in refugee camps have suffered the most.
 Many Gentiles, coming to the Vichy zone from occupied territory, have brought Jewish children with them, but there are no facilities to care for them. Hundreds of chil- dren also are living under deplor- able conditions with their parents in mountain and forest hideouts.

 Await News Eagerly
 Somewhere in Australia, Aug. 26- (UP) - United Nations quarters eagerly awaited news of the battle of the Solomon Islands today in the belief that a United States vic- tory, of which they seemed confi- dent. might prove of immense im- portance to the whole Pacific theater.
 The view was generally taken that Navy communiques issued at Washington showed that the United States anticipated a desperate Jap anese attempt to rewin the areas seized by the Marines and was pre- pared to meet it.
 We'll informed quaters here had forecast that the Japanese would either make a full scale counter -at- talks in the SolomonS or diversion ary attack elsewhere, possibly on the North Australian coast.
