WEATHER NOTE

When the House Military Affairs Committee took off from Washing ton on it's trip to Europe, members had been told they'd fly the nor thern route to England with a stop-over at Newfoundland. So they dressed in their heaviest underwear. A card game started, some of the members began to read and one or two went to sleep.
 i, Among those who chose sleep was Bolivar Pagan, Commissioner for Puerto Rico. Pagan slept through the pilots announcement after the plane had been in the air about half an hour that the plans had been changed, that they would fly the southern route with a Bermuda stop.
 As the plane pulled in to tropical Bermuda, only few hundred miles from Pagan's homeland, Pagan awakened and started to dig out his wraps. He put on sweater under his suitcoat, a muffler, a heavy oyercoat, hat, gloves and

The hope of effective international collaboration to maintain the peace frightened by the results of the British Institute of Public opinion poll which showed that the average English citizen agrees with the use of force against aggressor nations and is not insisting that England alone should decide when force is necessary
 As against 10 per cent of the British public who believed the principle of force against aggressor tions should not be adopted 77 per cent were found to believe that it should be.
 Especially interesting and significant We think, was the response to the question: Do you think Britain should remain free to decide whether not to use force against aggressor' nation should agree to vote with the rest of the United Nations and accept the resut?" Twenty-three per cent thought England should remain free to decide herself, and 63 nations and accept the result.
 Against the background of British war attitude during the 1930s, this poll result indicates a very pronounced shift in public attitude. England, which explored both pacifism and appeasement, finally awoke-and almost too late-to the hard realities of organized aggression
 It is not remarkable that the British agree overwhelmingly that the principle of force must be followed in checking aggression. But it is significant willing precious bit of their sovereignty for opportunity to act in concert with other tions in preventing future If the people of the United States prepoEderantly favorable to the notion of acting in concert, rather than alone the prospects of international action to safeguard the peace are excellent

ROBOTS BEAT AIRPLANEs

6-Robot b o m b s and rocket bombs can fly in any weather whereas airplanes can't. Also they don't require men Thus the Ger mans have hcen able to bomb us by robots and rockets-While be- cause of bad weather we couldn't bomb them The Nazis lay out g square of territory in and behind our lines. th en systematically pepper it with rocket bombs. They can aim them well enough to hit within certain areas.
 7-The German system is to att tack suddenly with tremendous fierce and heavy armor in one small area. They concentrated hundreds of tanks in their first attack. Once they broke through, they spread out. Also the Nazis had little to lose If they sat be- hind the Siegfried Line they were sure to lose the war eventually, so they could afford this gamble.
 8--Howover, it remains a fact that we had advance information of great Nazi activity for about a week before the attack came, though apparently we sized it up as a preparation for retreat rather than attack Also some of Gen. Eisenhower's friends in the War Department had cautioned him that it was favorite Nazi trick to turn and strike back when cor nered.
 NOTE - Gen. Courtney Hodges, against whose First Army the blow was launched, is regarded as a better -than-average American Gen. eral. He was not able to make the grade at West Point, but immedi- ately enlisted in the Army and has worked his way up. He was a major in command of infantry in the last war, one rank higher than Marshall, who was then 8 Captain, and has commanded infantry all his career since, having risen to be chief of infantry shortly before we entered the war.

overnight at Marseilles. In the morning R epres e n a tive John Rooney, Brooklyn Democrat, heavy sleeper, lay abed too long and was left in Marseilles. He managed to get to Nice, where Hawaiian Commissioner J os e p h Harrington had been visiting Ha- waiian troops and had been pro- vided plane to take him to Rome. Rooney hitched a ride with Far rington and reached Rome two days after the rest of the party.
 He arrived, in fact, just toe. late for the audience granted the en- tire group by Pope Plus XII, 20- minute session during which the Pope talked of the importance of planning for peace. His fellow Con- gressmen were lined up outside the Papal palace for a picture, when Rooney, devout Catholic, came puffing up and joined them. Just as the picture was to be taken he was told by a Vatican official that this picture was to include only those who had visited the Pope.
 Rooney explained that he was a member of the party, but that be- cause of travel difficulties he had just arrived in Rome. He had been anxious to see the Pope, he ex- plained, but had not been able to get there in time
 A hurried consultation followed. Then a messenger was sent back into the palace, and shortly Rooney was led in for his private audience with Pope Plus. He was with the Pontiff for half an hour-10 min utes longer than his colleagues.

Crews Drill
For Miners

Bellaire, O.. July 7--AP-Skilled
crews today prepared to begin
drilling through $50 feet OF earth
In the desperate hope Of reaching
81 men entombed in the Powhatan
mine Is miles south of here.
Two high.speed drills. one three
inches In diameter, the other nine
inches, were being brought here to
sink shafts through which food
and water could be lowered to the
coal miners IL they are alive.
The men were trapped in dead
end corridor Wednesday when a
rock fall broke a trolley line and
started a blaze that cut them off
from escape through the main
shaft.
The mine was sealed yesterday
to smother the fire after rescue
workers abandoned hope Of bring
ing the men out alive through the
main shaft. The drilling was de-
cided upon later in the faint hope
the miners still were living and
could be reached from above. No
word has been received from the
imprisoned men since the fire
broke out.
Company officials estimated It
would take two days to reach the
mine shaft with the small drill and
five days to cut through with the
larger drill.
