questions would be the same. Early in the year, that colossal piece of fact or fiction, OUT OF THE NIGHT by Jan Valtin. By June, BERLIN DIARY, far the most pop ular book of the year. Still later in the year people were reading YOU CAN'T DO BUSINESS WITH HIT LER, written by Douglas Miller, U. s. commercial attache at the Amer ican embassy in Berlin, from 1925 to 1939 Also popular were HITLER CANNOT CONQUER RUSSIA by Maurice Hindus. and MISSION TO MOSCOW by Joseph E. Davies. our ambassador to Russia from 1886 to 1888. Undoubtedly many people hoped to find in these two books an answer to the question-What are these Russians made of? The books, JOURNEY YFORMARGARET by Wil- liam L. White and DIGGING FOR MRS. MILLER by John Strachey were in constant demand in Decem- Der. From these two books readers hoped to find out how one is likely to react and just what one does during an air raid. Toward the end of 1941 another very popular book was John Gunther's INSIDE LATIN AMERICA. It is interesting to note that this book and others on South America attained popularity several months before the Pan-American Conference for Western Hemisphere solidarity.
 Reference Dept. Popular
 The use of the Reference Depart ment by adults and high school pupils denotes an intense interest not only in the world of today but also in the world of tomorrow. The following, actual questions taken from 1941 records, may serve to H. lustrate the kind of information people are seeking about the world of today:
 How did the United States ac- quire the Hawaiian Islands?
 Are American born children of Japanese parentage United States citizens?
 Gan Japanese become American citizens?
 A good map showing the island of Corregidor.
 The population of England, Ger many and Russia.
 History of the Red Gross.
 Explain about the tonnage of battleships.
 Short biographies of Churchill, Stalin and DeValera.
 Material requested by youthful de- batting teams reflects questions in the minds of young people today, re- garding the world of tomorrow. For example:
 Resolved that we should have separate air force.
 Resolved that boys In the army should be trained for future jobs.
 Resolved that the United States shall maintain g permanent sys- tenn of military training.
 Technical Information
 The Business and Technical De- partment in 1941 had ALSO requests for information on almost as many subjects. Many of these were of he type listed below, and not un- ike those of preceding years:
 Names and addresses of manu- facturers of calendar pads.
 History of Cap and Flask Com pany, an old Waterbury concern.
 Collective bargaining contracts.
 Manufacturers of chamois leath- CTS.

DSR Is Responsible

IERE is unquestionably logic in the contention
L of Chairman Gilbert of the DSR Commission that the
federal should help finance transportation of
workers from Detroit to the Willow Run bomber plant
He was quoted yesterday saying, 1.-THE federal
government spending $600O0000 for construction of
the plant S20000000 for water and sewage for the plant
additional millions for equipment and employe housing
without for transportation which is one of the
most important aspects"
The DSR commissioner is right when he refers to
transportation of the most important aspects
THE very fact that it should have inspired the DSR
i commissioners to consult the government on that
point year ago when plans for the erection of the Willow
Run plant first announced
At this late day. with the plant in operation the DSR
chiefs plan to visit Washington to seek federal funds for
the purchase of new buses.
AS pointed out recently in these columns, the
main, the only business of the DSR is to afford mass
transportation where and when transportation is
needed in the Detroit metropolitan section.
They should have explored the problem of such
transportation of workers to Willow Run and similar
suburban production plants the minute it became
known such plants contemplated They would have
avoided the fix they are in now.

Champion Of Liberty

THE scholarly booklet Freedom of the Press in
i Prospect and Retrospect" recently published by
Federal Judge Leon Yankwich of Los Angeles is much
than learned dissertation on most critical and
fundamental phase of jurisprudence.
1t is a historical survey of fact and opinion that
should be the hands of all editors lawyers and judges
And it should also be carefully scrutnized by those
interests which have properly recognized
speced the constitutional guarantee of free press
"a century and half of constitutional guarantee"
writes Judge Yankwch has not sed the voice of those
who would cOntrOl-to use the Duke of Marborough's
phrase-'the vilainous way of printing
"In country, persons who deny vehemently
that they profess the theology of (fascism, nazism
communism advocating, under guse another
aimed the curtament of the right of free
expression general and of freedom of the press
in particular"
A FTER reviewing some celebrated cases in which the
"A United States Supreme Court upheld the doctrine of
free press, Judge Yankwich comments:
I'm the last analysis freedom of the press does not
responsibility, because the laws of libel and
tempt adequate to punish falsehood and discourage
responsibility.
'The democratic process not only tolerates opposi.
ton through free discussion but 1t also protects
through constitutional sanction.
This it does because free government cannot exist
without freedom of discussion without it, freedom
OF any kind exist"
CITATIONS from the recent decision of the Supreme
- Court clearing the Los Angeles Times of contempt
conviction give point to the jursts liberal and enght
ened the nature and strength of judicial integ
rity and impartiality
A decision which the basis of an illusory ideal
of judicial aoofness would deny to the judge access to
all the facts in order that he might ndvduaize punish
ment lacks the realism which should control the judicial
process in modern society
Editorial presentation of fact and opinion therefore,
must deny the bench such the writer concludes
adding that he laws of the land Furnishing abuse of free
expression are to quote letter of Jeffersons safer
correctives than the conscience of judge"
Such conclusion assures the press and the public
serves, freedom with safety.

WE RAN into three news

many theaters of war for Inter-

a new stage.
Bill is about AZ years old. He
was soldier in the first World

He went TO France at the

Explosions
Give Power
To Muscles
BY G. b. LAL

International News Service Science Editor
CHEMICAL explosions, accom-
panied by shock waves, pro-
vide the power for the action OF
the human muscles. according to
an important medical discovery
revealed today.
1t is as though tiny sticks OF
dynamite. or chemical bombs.
keep bursting inside the muscles
of the living body.
Tiny ripples or more sweeping
waves of disturbance travel
through the muscle substance.
and produce peculiar patterns,
OF alternate light and dark hues.
THIS new picture Of the living,
Il active muscle has been built
up by Prof. Eben j. Carey. dean
of the Marquette University
School of Medicine. Milwaukee.
Wis, through researches finan-
cially supported by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paral-
ysis here.
In the light of the new clues
found by Professor Carey it
might be possible to devise sue
cessful methods for the preven-
ton and treatment of muscular
paralysis. fatigue and other dis
orders.
From the point Of view OF
infantile paralysis, muscular
wave mechanic" is of great
interest.
DOCTOR CAREY says, in the
~ reports of his investigations
and experiments. that the volun-
tary muscles are not OF fixed
structures.
Until his work. ii has been
believed that the strips or
alternate light and dark hued
bands, seen in the muscle tissues
under a microscope, are fixed
and unchanging.
The new concept is that these
patterns are like the shifting,
transient ripples on the surface
of lake. In fact they are like
waves of explosion caused by
bursting dynamite or bombs.
The disturbance is started
when energy is unbottled by
chemical processes between the
nerve and the muscle.
