Ourselves -.
By PHILIP Fl. Lovs

It's interesting, I think, 70 Keep
tabs on "old-timers" among The
Junior Stars correspondents. And
within the last week or 80 I've had
news Of two OF them.
Back In February, 1910, Robert +.
Jones, then Is and attending Lang
ley Junior High School, won prize
of 81 for an article telling how he
and his friend, Charles Miller, had
the Junior Prince Georges
Pigeon Club. The news about Rob-
ert came In q letter signed The
Kids It said:
I'VE thought you might appreciate
this bit OF news about one Of your
old-timers, Bob Jones, whose pic
tllre appeared on your page . few
years ago In connection with
write-up on homer pigeons.
Bob Is leaving ut the close Of
school to work for his own wings
with Uncle Sans Naval Air Cadets.
"A farewell party Is being held
for him Saturday at 1908 Nineteenth
street NE. It Is being given by his
friends in Tech High School, featur-
ing the Glee Club, Of which he Il q
member. He Is also q member Of
Techs Double Quartet.
"We are giving him q regulation
aviator's watch, to be presented at
the party.
Want to Gomez"
OF course, wanted to 20 to Bob,s
party; but alas, and as the saying is,
alackaday. it was impossible. All
could do was to send my congratu-.
lations and best wishes. And, OF
course, my thanks to The Kids"
for the news that Bob Is turning In
his pigeons wings for those Of an
eagle.
The other old-timer Of whom
received news was Ruth Buchanan,
J. s. correspondent at Central High
School from 1888 to 1910. The rea-
son I wrote was" instead OF "is,,'
In apparent violation Of rule OF
grammar, Is that Ruth has become
the bride of 1t. william H. Griggs,
who recently returned from more
than q years duty IN the South
Pacific. They met as students Of the
University Of Maryland.
Right now Ruth and her BRIDE
groom are on their way to the West
Coast. And, Of course, the best
wishes Of the j. s. 60 with them
always.
Junior jottings:
Dorothy Schwartz, II, wrote the
official song of the 6B class of Park
View School. It's sung to the tune
of the Coast Guard song.
Charlotte Gordon, II, one Of the
newer members OF the Girl Reserves
OF Western High School, has de-
cided that belonging to the organic

That he must have had compen-
sating characteristics is evidenced
by the staunchness with which his
artist friends stood by him in days
of calamity. He died in Switzerland
in 1877-living two year longer than
Corot who was much his senior.
Among his warmest friends, In
addition to Corot, were Millet and
Daumier-also Whistler, whose ac-
quaintance he made one summer
at Trouville where he learned to
paint the sea and found opportunity
to do q portrait of "Jo" Minister'S
competent and famous model
known to all as 1.-THE White Girl
Symphony in White"-formerly in
the Whittemore collection, now in
the National Gallery OF Art.
Also included in the Whittemore
gifts Is a seascape by Whistler very
similar in treatment and effect to
Courbet's Sea and Three Boats"
and likewise painted on the coast
of Normandy, about the same time.
Corot and Courbet are both well

in its collection two superb Courbets,
Rocks at Ornans" and a seascape,
as well as several engaging Corot's.

Tom now offer to dissillusioned pub
lie that a party which failed misera-
bly, in the previous crisis could now
be successful When Terrible Tom
attempts to elaborate (if indeed he
even intends to do so) on the subject
of providing jobs for every one
through private enterprise your stu
dents of the economic processes will
listen in rapt attention with the mis-
giving that having opened his mouth
he will Immediately proceed to put
both feet down his throat
Jobs for Soldiers? Verify the topic
hath familiar sound and has been
talked Of quite thoroughly in the
public print but unfortunately the
topic is like the weather, everybody
TALKS about it but no one DOES
anything.
AS a matter of fact is the JOB the
fundamental thing for which the sol
der is fighting? DOES the returning
soldier, or for that matter any one
else desire simply a JOB-at starva-
ton wages? 1t would seem that the
universal demand for a JOB carries
with it the desire for the highest pos
sibIe remuneration consistent with
that job. The present demand and
the most pressing demand then is for
Security rather than for the job itself.
Under the capitalist system we have
so long associated the JOB with the
feeling of SECURITY that we have
come to look upon the two words as
synonymous when nothing could be
farther from the truth. A job which
is dependent upon the whim of an
employer or boss or which may vanish
into thin air in depression due to a
defective social or economic system
has nothing of permanent SECURITY
connected with it.
Suppose then we come down to
earth, face the facts and be honest
with ourselves long enough to admit
that what the returning soldier and
every one else really desires is pri-
marily that feeling of SECURITY?
The rights so fondy asserted in the
Declaration of independence: Life.
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Given that assurance, the assurance
that he will not suffer privation "be-
cause he HAS PRODUCED TOO
MUCH" the average mortal will pro-
coed to pursue that happiness-and in
so doing because the average human
cannot be happy in the boredom of
idleness) he will in the greater major

HITLER'S FOUR WISHES HAS
DWINDLED TO ONE

Hitler's four wishes in order of their
importance were:
1. Winning the war
2. A negotiated peace by splitting
the Allies.
8. A negotiated peace through a
change of U. S. administration in
the coming elections.
4. His last hope of becoming a U. S.
prisoner to save himself from
Soviet's vengeance.
He jeopardized his first wish of
winning the war by attacking the reds
at Stalingrad.
His negotiated peace by splitting
the Allies went glimmering at the
conference of Moscow and Teheran.
Any chance of a negotiated peace
through change in American admin
istration has likewise faded as he
won't be able to hold out that long.
That cuts his four wishes down to
solitary one: the fervent hope of
holding the Red army long enough
to allow the Allies on the Western
front to beat the Reds into Berlin
He remembers the welcome he was
offered by some California dame when
she threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him some years ago. That
would even be better than going to
England where they won't let Hess
send for his German wife to live with
him-such ungratitude.
While the Wehrmacht is but skel-
eton of its former self, being reduced,
both in quality and size, it's bulk is
concentrated in a life-and-death, to be
the last, big battle of the war in and
around Warsaw. Stains ruse of in
vading East Prussia brought Hitler's
last reserves hotfoot into this holy
Fatherland threatened spot making
men, women and children dig trenches
while Stains main drive was directed
at the vicinity of Warsaw according
to plan, picking the decisive battle
in the last stage of World War to
be fought there. Hitler has no ex-
pectation of winning the battle of
Warsaw, his only hope is delaying the
Reds enough to give the Anglo-Amer-
leans chance to first reach Berlin.
Thus Hitler's Greater Europe has
been shrinking according to plan until
the sacred soil of the holy Fatherland
is reached and all that is left of form
er conquests is Lublin memories and
the fear of the coming War criminal

for the Kilgore-Murray-Truman
bill. Farmers, church organize
tiOns and some businessmen have
stood with labor on this Issue.
They have done so because they
realize that the interest Of labor
In not all that Is at stake. The
prosperity and the welfare Of the
entire nation are involved.
Without planned, orderly recon-
version from war TO peace produc-
tion, now and after we have de-
feated our enemies, we can have a
second Hoover depression that will
make thu. first one look mild in COM
parison. We have a working force
Of nearly SIS million people in the
country today. We have IL million
men in the armed forces who will
be looking for jobs tomorrow.
COP WRECKERS
The Congressional opponents
Of this legislation. including the
pOlltaxers and their political al
lies, either do not care for the
welfare Of the people Of this
country or are perfectly willing
to wreck our economic system for
an illusory partisan advantage.
Their role In passing the
George bill over the Kilgore-
Murray-Truman bill shows them
TO be utterly callous to the hu-
man needs Of the workers and Of
the returning servicemen, as well
as careless Of the welfare Of
farmers and businessmen.
1t should Sbe noted that the same
reactionary alliance in the Senate
produced the recent tax law, which
provides for huge guaranteed prof.
its in the form of tax returns to
corporations while laying the heav-
lest burden on the low-income
groups. Now that the corporations
have been guaranteed their post
war profits at pre-war rates foroa
period OF two years, an ounce of
protection is denied to workers
and servicemen.
The war now being won by our
men and by our allies is being
fought for freedom from want and
insecurity. Under this scheme,
our men will return TO a world Of
depression. unemployment and
breadlines.
"UNPRINCIPLED FAKE"
The George bill Is one Of the
most unprincipled fakes ever at
tempted on the American people.
1t does nothing for the workers
and the servicemen. IL fails TO
create the central planning
agency with responsibility and
authority that is needed to pro-
tect business from chaos and
bankruptcy.
The reactionary bloc which backs
the George bill has indicated that
ii intends TO make reconversion q
campaign issue. The workers. the
farmers and all the American
people will most certainly oblige
them by making their record on
this issue a campaign test.
In order TO avoid the chaos and
misery into which these enemies
of progress seek to plunge the
people of this nation, in order to
provide jobs for all workers and
in order to prevent
another era Of Hoovervilles and
apple selling,
BE 1T RESOLVED:
That the Congress of Indus

Boys Are kobbed
Entering Store

Two boys of tender years who
have already accumulated a size
able delinquency record. this
week were in the hands of Pro-
bate Court authorities, after
their arrest by Deputy Sheriffs
Richard DeKetelaere and Cor
nelius Gudenau.
The boys had planned to add
another unlawful act TO their
long series Of depredations, and
admitted plans to burglarize the
Lowe grocery store and gas sta
ton, 1884 jefferson avenue,
when arrested late Tuesday
night. One of the boys is IL and
the other 13 years old.
Lowe notified officers when
he found outside latches on his
windows unlocked before he
left for the evening. He recalled
seeing the two boys acting sus-
piciously around the place. AT
1870 the boys showed up and
commenced TO remove window
screens, but found themselves
in the hands of the law.
Both claimed they were hun

thing to eat" Deputy DeKete-
