Riddle Of A Crewless
Tug In The Solomons
Is Nipped In Bud
Investigation Brushes Cobweb,
OFF Old Legends Regarding
Specter Ships

Specter Ships
Quick solution Of the riddle of a
crewless naval tug seen" towing an
eNplosives-fIled barge through Solo
mon Island waters nipped a sea mys-
terry in the bud, but the investigation
also brushed cobwebs off the legends
Of ghost ships Of the past, says the
National Geographic Society.
One Of the hardest perennials is
the 70-year old question of what hap
pened aboard the brig Mary Celeste
bound for Genoa from New York with
a cargo Of alcohol. The crew of a Brit
ish ship hailed the Mary Celeste I'M
der full sail near Gibraltar, got no re
Spouse, decided to go aboard No sign
of life was found. Everything was
shipshape. Nothing pointed to foul
play. Only the chronometer, seXtant
and the briggs boat was missing. En-
tries in the log had stopped eight
days before
Why the Mary Celeste was aban-
doned is still anybody's guess. Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, creator Of the
super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes, got at
the truth to his own satisfaction and
fashioned his explanation into a ro-
mantle novel.
Mysteries Unfolded
News stories of later years I'M
folded mysteries just as battling de
spite the improvement Of ships and
means of communication. The fate Of
the Danish training ship Kobenhavn
is case in point.
Acclaimed as the largest sailing
vessel in the world and equipped with
a powerful radio this foul-masted
steel bark sailed from Montevideo for
Australia in December. 1928. Four
hundred miles at sea she reported all
was well. That was the last word
from her.

de Cunha, a lonely rock halfway be-
tween Brazil and the Cape Of Good

implications of A
Trip To North Africa
In the Baltimore Sunday Sun, Jan.
BY NEWTON AIKEN

If you wish to see the wave of the
future tracing itself above the con-
fusion Of the present. consider some
Of the Implications Of President Roose-
velt's trip to North Africa.
Such journeys are not a part of our
i Presidential tradition Until Woodrow
Wilson went to the Paris peace con
ference in 1918, our Chief Executives
had always confined their travels to
political "swings around the circle
with occasional visits to Canada, such
as Mr.. Taft was accustomed to make.
Wilson's voyage to Paris was pro
phetical to the new role the United
States was to play in world affairs. 1t
was one Of the things that marked
the end Of isolation. even though the
enraged isolationists Of the time re-
fused to see it as such. They pinned
their hopes on the return, under Mr..
Harding and Mr.. Coolidge. to the
suay-at-home practices Of the pre-
war days. They failed to note that,
under Harding, Nh Hughes had to
bring the rest Of the world to Wash

Scout Week
The nation will pay tribute to boy
scouting next week, February 6 to
u, which will mark the 33rd an
niversary of its founding. For more
than half of those years Oakland has
had scout troop, Rev. A. J. Torrey
in 1924 having organized a few boys
into what was known as Oakland
Troop No. /.
Since that time several hundred
bows have been active scouts a num-
Der of them having reached the high
est rank. that of Eagle Scout. Some
bows dropped out of the troop before
they went far enough to appreciate its
true value, but the vast majority
t,.,.+ y.,,
which sought to teach a way Of life
among freedom loving people.
Parents and others have a respOn-
sibilitv to take an interest in such an
organization and see that it prospers.
Oakland troop needs the interest Of
fathers and mothers. Just as do troops
in other sections of the county.
Now is a good time to show it.

Reorranlnation Indlealed

State and local governments are being driven by war into making long-needed administrative reform. A survey by the Civil Service Assembly shows turnover of close to 50 per cent in key adminlStra- tive and technical personnel. About half of those who leave are taken into the armed forces. The rest enter federal service, war industry, etc.
 To meet such situations alert com munities are revamplng old setups. Louis vile, for example, has reorganiEed the police department to offset the loss of 25 per cent of its experienced men. Wichita has completely revamped admin istrative machinery, consolidating l5 major departments into five. Even the war cloud has @ silver lining.

In Today's Mail

man was saved from the stigma" of legal insanity and the State saved the cost of his maintenance in an institution.
 Adjudication by courts of proper jurisdiction of persons as insane is too easy a process. Especially in the case of @ mentally disturbed person who has few friends and no pull" 1t is simple matter to land in the wards of a mental hos pital Many times such a person could be saved from disqualification if @ little common sense is applied in the case and people have better understanding of just what actual insanity is. Unfortunately, too many persons look upon the nearest State Hospital as the only solution of the queer acting person whereas they have not studied closely and seriously enough the basic needs of the individual. Too many people, in- cluding physicians and courts, have a dangerous tendency to regard ab- normal men and women in need of disqualification when many times the thing really needed is kindly treatment in an understanding manner by the people of the com munity. Mental hygiene as a com- munity agency very often can do a lot more for an ailing person than the State Hospital with its curbs upon the freedom of the individual.

Leased Land

War Department figures indicate that the Army has not purchased 12,O00, 900 acres of land, as had been reported, only 6,000000 acres The larger figure represents territory acquired by transfer, from other federal departments, of land already owned.
 This correction is gratifying. It is easier to believe that the Army was forced to purchase 6,000,000 acres than 12,000,0O0. Nevertheless, Che purchased acreage still exceeds that of New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Massachusetts or New Jersey; 1t is greater than the combined areas of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware; it is almost equivalent to that of Maryland

Dead AS Mutton

As q writer H. c. Wells must be taken seriously. As a prophet, sometimes he ss inclined to take in too much territory, like the bar-fly who announced his ability to lick any Son-of-a-gun in the world and discovered that he was boast ang to John L. Sullivan. MT. Wells expresses a profound conviction that Hthe newspaper is as dead as mutton and that it will never come back" We have no equivalent authority as to Eng fish journals, but we sugges - too late, of course = that the eminent author should have consulted the 1943 Editor and Publisher Year Book before he com naitted himself in such sweeping terms. Tn the United States our "dead as nut ton" newspapers enjoyed in 1922 the greatest circulation in their history, cap- ping an unbroken year-by-year advance morning and evening newspapers were selling more than 43,000,000 copies daily. This represented an increase of 3,400,000 over their pre-war total.
 That does not suggest anything re- sembling death. It would seem to indi- cate enormous vitality, particularly since many newspapers, to meet Skyrocketing costs, found it necessary to increase sales prices.
 It is MT. Wells idea that after the war we shall dial NEWS on our telephones and "listen then to a summary of what has been happening in the last two or Ehree hours"
 This is entirely possible. If the tele- phone company needs a bit of needling about establishing such a service news papers might encourage and assist them. A telephone bulletin news service might 10 exactly what radio news bulletins have done-whet public appetite for news Of the day.
 Many newspaper publishers suffered most of the pangs of death when the radio began broadcasting news. They feared the lightning speed of this 'com- psAltor." Itsdeveloped, however, that the FadiO was a newsboy crying headlines and telling listeners why they should rush out and buy papers. The daily newspaper has its faults, individual and collective. me wise editor never lets a day pass without seeking to better his service to his readers. Nevertheless, there is no medium of news distribution that can rival the newspaper for combined speed, accuracy, completeness and impartiality. Doeg this sound boastful? Sorry, but it's how we feel.

Press Comment
CHROME? HartfOrd COurantl

Under a trade agreement signed more than a year ago. the Turks promised to ship to Germany forty. five thousand tons of chrome ore in i943 and double that amount next year if the Germans. for their part. would deliver to Turkey essential materials worth 55,O00,OOO Turkish pounds before March 3i of this year
 Now reports show that the Ger mans have been unable to deliver any of the promised war materials and not more than 90 per cent of any of the promised materials.
 The question is, therefore, what Turkey is going to do. Will the Ger mans get any of the chrome ore they so badly need? And if SO. how much? Reports that Germans bar ter-expert. Dr. Karl Clodius, now is packing his bags for a trip to An- kara indicate that the German gov- ernment has considerable doubts on this point. Since they have failed to live up to their part of the agree nnent, the Turks are not very likely to part with their precious ore. ex- cept, that is to the United Nations.
 Tn any case. it should not be long before the outcome of Dr. Clodius' visit will show us just how the poli- tical winds are blowing in that part

You've got to consider Vour butter and cheeseS and not make a big splurge for one day only to go hungry the rest of the week.
 The announcement that beef is con- ing In is as thrilling as though gold were found. Poultry which was once week end diversion has become too familiar in the diet and what most folks want to see as q good Sirloin steak or three rib roast of beef.
 The eating situation is gradually be- coming adjusted, or we are adjusting our selves to it. Meatless Tuesdays have be- come a habit if not meatleSs WedneS- days and Thursdays. The New York uapers yesterday stated that restaurants in the Metropolitan area are about to adopt two meatleSs days, Tuesdays and also Fridays.
 MeatleSS Fridays will be no hardship to a great many who never ate meat on Nridays because of their church ruling. NO doubt the meatlesS Tuesdays and Fri days in that city will help greatly in the matter of meat. The meatless two days, however, that are now planned will be absolutely meatless, not as formerly when certain by-products and poultry appeared 0n menus, but no heavy meatsSuch beef, lamb. veal and SO on. For the time being we are more or less put, and somewhat versed in the procedure of intelligent shopping for the eating necessities of life.
