Farmers, veterans, small mer-
chants, businessmen, bankers, edi-
tors and other professional people
are up in arms against the reckless,
lnflammatory. hysterical speeches of
Howard Smith in Congress. His
tactics of turning class against class
have created suspicion, doubt and
confusion. He is proving the Ma

Protection From Bombs

PARSONS with the Axis nations. In
1887. the year on which the latest
figures are available. Germany, ia
pan. and Italy combined had ap-
proximately 1900 900 in their high
schools and colleges. In the same
year, such enrollments In the United
States totaled S,100, 900.
The greatest drawback to fun mo-
otlization Of education now is a
shortage OF teachers. Thousands of
educators are being called to the
Army and Navy and to factories
turning out war materials. where
their technical knowledge is invalu-
able.
Priorities on materials, too. are
being felt. Some schools have pre-
scribed fewer written tests. the use
OF both sides Of paper, and a back

Priorities on automobiles, school
buses and tires eventually may af-

their .land-legs" after spending
two months zig-zagging across the
Pacific to avoid enemy warships.
In fact Betty Lou even learned
to walk on board ship. She also
celebrated her first birthday on the
boat somewhere between Hawaii and
the South Pole. The Millards are
now staying at the home of Mr..
Millard's aunt, Mrs. John Sampson,
317 Greenwood avenue, Takoma

The family was among group OF
IA missionaries who left Singapore
for the United States last January.
Their troubles began at Padang in
the Dutch East Indies where their
ship was bombed and they were
forced to dive into shallow trenches
on the shore to protect themselves
from succeeding waves of bombers.
MaroOned for Week.
THE worst thing about bombs Is
their whistle as they come hurting
down on you," Mr.. Millard said.
You can't help thinking that maybe
this is the one"
After being marooned in Padang
for nearly a week the missionaries
were taken to bus line and driven
to Batavia From there they went
to Soerabaya. They left that city

country two months later.
According to Mr.. Millard. a
Seventh-day Adventist. their ship
was the last to pass through the
Sunda Straits between Sumatra and
java before the Japanese seized
control of them.
II don't think We ever sailed a
straight course" Mr.. Millard re-
called. IF there was just a smudge
of smoke on the horizon. we turned
around Immediately and went in
the opposite direction"
One morning, Mr.. Millard said
the engines of the ship went dead
and the boat rolled helplessly in
the sea all day. Luckily, a heavy
fog settled down to shield the boat
from enemy eyes.
IL Years in Japan.
Il remember We all prayed might
lily just before the fog came" Mr.
Millard said, and that fog coming
at that time was enough to make
any one believe in Providence"
Mr.. Millard had been the princi-
pal Of seminary in Singapore for
year before his departure. Before
that he was president of a Junior
missionary college in Japan for Il
years. He left that country as a
movement started to oust mis-
slonarles.
He arrived in Washington with
his family a few days ago. confiden,
that some day in the near future

at an T. N A. banquet at Wesley
Hall from Kenneth K. Kost, asso-
citation executive secretary.
The so editors from colleges in
Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania
and New York attending the I. N. A.
convention were requested by an
official of the censorship Office to
watch their columns carefully for
military information leaks.
Personal items in smaller college
and industrial sheets, said Ted Koop,
assistant to Censorship Chief Byron
Price, give far more leads to the
enemy than the columns of large
dailies. He cited as an example
mention in a recent college issue of
a alumnus about to depart for
Australia.
Against Faculty Censorship.
The students expressed them
selves as perfectly willing to impose
wartime censorship on themselves.
Earlier in the day. however, they
went on record as opposed to censor
ship by faculty members of items
relating to college policy. The
Hatchet and several others of the
papers represented have no such
faculty supervision.

single incident at this time could
have brought about so much inter
est in state politics. Current dis
cussions indicate Arizonans, de-
spite the war, will devote con-
siderable attention to home-front
political events this year.
That Mr.. Mckinney at this time
definitely contemplates running
against Gov. Osborn Is borne out
in reports from several sections of
the state. He has been huddling
with number of Democratic
chieftains in various counties. To
these he has confided his plans
while openly seeking their support.
From usually reliable sources
comes the report Mr.. Mckinney has
sought to head off at least one
potential candidate for the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination
He is regarded as a man who could
reasonably be expected TO split a
bloc of votes which otherwise
might go somewhat solidly to Mr.
Mckinney.
Sideline observers are interested
in watching those who are openly
espousing the Mckinney candidacy.
To date. they are mostly former
Osbornites. But. a few influential
Democrats now backing Mckinney
took no open part in the last pri-
mary campaign.
