Two Destroyers
Are Christened
In New Jersey

KEARNY, N. j.. Dec. II. Up
Two Navy destroyers. each nam.
ed in honor of heroic Navy men,
were launched today at the yards
Of the Federal Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Co.
The Hugh PurviS was named for
Marine Corporal Purvis of Phila-
delphia, who was cited for heroism
in a punitive expedition against
Korea in 1871, in retaliation for
the massacre of the crew of the
u. S. S. General Sherman when it
was aground in the Han river. His
wife, Mrs. Mary Alice Purvis of
Washington, D. c., sponsored the
vessel.
The Harlan r. Dickson took the
name Of the late Lieutenant Com
mander of Columbus, Ohio, who
won the Navy Cross for "extraor-
binary heroism" as a dive-bomber
pilot in the battles of Midway and
the Coral Sea. He was killed in
a bomber crash in California last
February. The sponsor, was his
mother, Mrs. Rene r Studler Of
Washington. D. c.
The ships were the last destroy
ers to be sent down the ways here,
since destroyer building has been
transferred to the company's Port
Newark yards.

There is a peculiar mystery at
tached to the matter of putting
together an anthology with such
purpose as Joseph Henry Jack
sons Continent End" The mys'
terry is primary one-how does
the editor manage to produce a
book which satisfies his own con-
science and at the same time, in
terests the public? Mr.. Jackson
really has done just that, at what
sacrifice of personal favorites it
is not difficult to imag CINE.
He declares in his introduction
that ne was anxious to show his
readers what California was like,
and for that reason he has chosen
some OF his most fabulous mate
rial-the excerpt from his own
"Anygody's Cold, in which is
pictured the quiet, almost casual,
discovery of gold at Suffers mill
and the beginning of the frenzied
rush that followed, is one excel

SHOW the various sorts of writing
California has produced, and the

much of the writing done before
the last rs years had to be omit
ted, since up to the '20s the pro-
fession of authorship df it is one)
centered almost exclusively in
San Francisco. Nearly all his ex.
cerpts are the product of the lost
quarter century, although the
four exceptions from the total list
of 40 are important. One is par
ticularly amusing, since it is from
Gertrude Atherton's autobiog-
raphy and tells about the pother
aroused by her still-famous novel,
BLACK Oxen.
Mr.. jackson has not bothered

Californian. He, himself, is no
native son and great many of
his writer's are foreigners, too.
Some are even sacrilegious -

With One Signature

When General de Gaulle signed the new
Franco-Soviet treaty of mutual assistance and
security, he accomplished perhaps the most
brilliant act OF his short political career His
signature did much to restore France to her
former place among world powers, to take
his government out Of the provisional class.
and to enhance his own position and inter-
national prestige.
But the international Importance Of this al.
lance has diverted attention from its poten.
TALLY equal importance within France. where
it gives promise Of continued political sta.
bility and orderly recovery.
Thus far General de Gaulle's personal
strength and popularity have helped to pre-.
vent the tragic civil disturbances that have
followed liberation Of other occupied countries
in Europe. But these qualities could not guar

Underlying the bitter feeling between patti

Big Three To Confer

Prime Minister Winston ChurchillS plea for
conference with President Roosevelt and
Russia's premier, Joseph Stain, did not fall
on unreceptive ears. The meeting, says a
Washington dispatch, will take place sometime
after Mr.. Roosevelt's fourth term Inaugural
ton at place still to be determined, but
outside the United States. If Mr.. Churchill S
appeal receives full acceptance, it will be in
London or elsewhere in England.
The Polish border situation as well as the
state Of affairs in Italy and Greece presun'
ably viii have chief attention of the Big Three,
but in addition to these problems another will
beg solution. 1t is the proposal for Yugoslav
provisional government headed by Marshal
Tito.
Here, as in the case of Poland Mr.. Church
il. has suddenly about-faced. The warm rela-
tons between the British government and
Marshal Tito, the communist leader of the
Yusoslav Liberation movement have suddenly
grown cool, if not actually cold. If something
is not done to compose new-sprung differences,
the British Premier will be in difficult posi-
ton Whereas he has given the Russian claims
on Polish borders his unqualified support at
the sacrifice of the Polish government in exile
at London, he now opposes Russia's chosen
leader in Yugoslavia and apparently opens the
way for diplomatic and political differences
with Marshal Stain, whose power in postwar
Europe will equal if not exceed his own.
Mr.. Churchill probably has proper cause for
complaint Of the way British military person.

Liberation Army and may have the correct
slant on the dispute between Tito and Allied
military authorities over control of Allied re.

or whether these matters, along with other.
