Senate Military Group
Meets 10 Consider
|97 High Promotions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee, pickering over the Army's
promotion system, met today to pass
on the elevation of 81 officers to
brigadier and major general ranks.
While indications pointed to
speedy approval of the list, Senator
Chandler, Democrat, of Kentucky
told a reporter that there was a
great deal of grumbling among
members that Regular Army officers
were getting all the breaks in war
quickened promotions.
Senator Chandler pointed out
that of the 81 officers recommended
nine for their second star and the
remainder for their first-only five
were in the reserve category and six
in the Army of the United States.
The latter is comprised of duration
soldiers.
While he agreed that the pro-
fessional fighters seemed to be NOV
ing up faster than the citizen SOL
diers, Senator Johnson, Democrat,
of Colorado said it is pretty hard
for Reserves and National Guards
men to qualify for general rank
under established rules.
The committee also was split on
the question of giving promotion
priority to men in combat over
officers on duty at home.
Meanwhile, inability of congress
Sional committees to reach an agree
ment threatened to ditch admins

ing f1ve-star officer ranks in the
Army and the Navy.
House Rules Committee members
said privately today they are just
about ready 10 wash their hands of
the whole matter because the House
Military and Naval Affairs Com
mittees have failed to get together
on whether the promotions should
be permanent or temporary.

Brother WrestIers
Won't Be Foes

Here's one sure bet Uncle Joe
Turner will never match Dutch
Rohde and Billy Darnell on one of
his wednesday night wrestling
shows. They're brothers.
Billy, the younger, started his
wrestling career after Dutch had
made a name for himself and the
youngster adopted his present grap-
pling alias to avoid being tagged
as Dutch's kid brother. Turner
Arena fans have noticed the re-
semblance between the two when
they worked together in team
matches and now that Billy has
established himself, the secret can
be told.
On tomorrow nights wrestling bill
at the w street creamery, Darnell is
up against Olaf Erickson while
Dutch tangles with the Masked
Commando in the main event. The
purple-h oded muscleman has
notched nine straight wins here and
II the Dutchman can upset him, 1t
means a shot at Babe Sharkey's
crown for the elder Rohde.
A top-notch supporting card for
the night is high lighted by Laverne
Baxter, eminent Texas ruffian, who
tangles with Sander Gyorff, a 22O-
pound Hungarian from Buffalo,
N. Y, who is reported to be a
rougher mixer than the cowboy
villain.

Eviction Suit Won
BY 6 Girls; Rent Cut

Five WAVE lieutenants and a
State Department employe not only
emerged as winners in an eviction
suit in Landlord and Tenant Court
yesterday but also received reduc-
ton in rent.
They were Its. q. g. Barbara Al
len, Margaret Foster, Jeannette
Woodlock, Bernadette Conway and
Ann Taylor, and Virginia Getz of
the State Department.
The girls, who lived in the 5000
block of Thirty-third street NV,
were being sued for eviction by Mrs.
Evelyn c. Weber, who lives in the
1900 block of I street NV. Mrs.
Weber told Judge Nathan Margold
she had sublet the house last May
and wanted it for her own use.
When Judge Margold was told the
girls pay the rent directly to Mrs.
Helen Simmons, a relative of the
owner Of the house, and to Mrs.
Weber, he decided there was no
question of subtenancy involved
with Mrs. Weber and threw the evic-
ton suit out.
Testimony revealed that Mrs
Weber. the former tenant, had paid
only $40 month rent, while the six
girls were paying $125.
Mrs. Simmons said Mrs. Weber
owed her money, and she found
Mrs. Simmons tenants who could
pay $125 month. The difference,
to s55 a month, sup
posedly was applied to the debt.
At the close of the trial Mrs. Sim
mons said the girls rent would be
reduced to $40 a month.

Without any explanation, on or
off the record. the court denied the

testimony"
But with the courts ruling, the

GRATITUDE TO GOD
 THEME OF SERMON
Rev. Dr.. John (. Walker Hopes for International
 Order of Justice

Isn't 1t oil too true that we are all too apt to forget the benefitS and blessings of God9' asked Rev, Dr, John 0, Walker, Second Con. gregNtional Church pastor, yeSter. day morning in his sermon, I Take It For Gratitude
 Dr, Walker said in part;
 Bishop William Lawrence Of Massachusetts who had e great many seafaring people in his diocese once said that he feared that there must me hundreds and even thou. sands Of his parlshionerS lost at sea every year Again and again he was asked to pray for the safe return of men at sea. Of oil these people who asked the bishop to pray for their loved ones, only very few returned to give thanks to God that their prayers had been answered, He said he presumed the others must have been lost at seal
 Now we know that the good bishop said this with c twinkle in his eye, He didn't persume any such thing, What he did say by indireetion was that the over. whelming majority of men and women almost invariably forget to give thanks to cod even when they have Q literal answer to their pray. CTS, How annoyed and disappointed we should be with our children II they were as careless about saying think you for the gifts they received aA a,,~ AAa1aAvl AAaNb VfNuya Ia as yAIV know, did not have any great faith in God or man, Do you recall those biting words from "Puddhead Will son?"-"If you pick up R starving dog and make him prosperous, lac will not bite you, That Is the prin- eipal difference between q dog and Q man."
 One of the fundamental difAcul. ties with our world Is that we have never been able to take order ol justice or fairdealing for granted In the realm of international rela- tions. There iS no world court, there Is no world police force, there is no international body that exerta authority, legal or moral, over the affairs of the nations. I am afraid that there are c good many AneH. cans who, though not very vocal ct present, will reassert themselves immediately the war is over, people who will talk about the folly of giv- ing up our national sovereignty, the necessity of making ourselves ee strong inilltarlly that no nation Will dare to attack us. n other words they want to take nothing for grant. cd. They do not want police and fire for the nations; they prefer inter national anarohyl They are reason" able and law.abiding citizens within national borders but beyond our borders they vote for anarchy ana they seem to be willing to have theil sons and daughters pay the price of anarchy in the form of the con' stAnt burden of InilltarisFii and the ever present threat of war. For my self, 1t seems the part of common sense to vote and work and pray for on international order where we can take some measure Of justice for granted.
 But even if there are many things we can now take for granted and other things, we must huiId Into the structure of our civilization 90 that we can take them for grant cd, it must always De true that the good things Of iife must DO taken ] for gratitude, or with gratitude, |
