VIGOROUSLY PERMANENTLY Home PROP
American Foreign Policy

lDhich zoe are noto being urged to
perpetudte.
Everywhere in Europe, as fast as
liberation is achieved, there are
forces at work CREATING the post
war structure of nations-the very
thing Secretary Stettinius is TALK
ING about doing through a United
Nations organization after the war.
Belgium, for instance, was only
prevented from being set up as a
COMMUNIST nation by the prompt
action of Gen Eisenhower in putting
down the movement of PLANNED
UNREST in that liberated country.
Greece will only be prevented
from being set up as Communist
nation if the vigorous British meas
ures currently in force are as success
full as Gen. EisenhoWer's measures in
Belgium.
France has actually entered the
Soviet Russian 4sphere of influence"
under the terms of a treaty which
runs directly and completely con-
trary to the prospective postwar
United Nations organization.
w HILE American diplomats and
w statesmen are high mindedly
thinking and talking about the post
war structure of European nations as
a thing to be determined through de-
Lucrative processes, the diplomats
and statesmen of other nations-par-
ticularly of Soviet Russia-are busily
doing the job NOW.
What difference is it going to
make to Poland and to Rumania and
to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia,
what the United Nations organiza-
ton says or does about the postwar
European structure?
What difference can it make to
Belgium or France or Greece or any
other nation once they are sealed
into the Russian sphere?
If the American foreign policy is
going to continue to be one of words,
it should at least be one of HONEST
words-and the words of Senator
Gillette stand the test of honesty far
better than the words of Secretary
Stettinius.

THIS friend of mine split
L some wine on his dinner
Jacket one night and it left
stain so the next day he sent
the Jacket to the cleaners.
He asked them 10 get il back
TO him in week as he had
dinner engagement coming up
in home where dress has al
ways been imperative except
the night some years back when
the host during the absence of
his wife had strip teaser in to
entertain his guests and his old
lady found out about il and hit
him over the head with rolf
ing pin only of course that is
all something else again.
Well, on the appointed day
my friend found his jacket had
not been returned so he hur-
ried 10 the cleaners and de-
manded 10 know what was
wrong and the cleaners said
they simply did not have the
help to get the job done be-
cause of the war, so my friend
had 10 wear the jacket to the
dinner with the wine stain
showing as plain as anything.
1t happened that among the
diners were some representa-
tives Of the sguv'ment who had
the placing Of certain war con-
tracts from which my friend
could have swiped lot Of
guv'ment money but they saw
the wine stain and they prob
ably said 10 themselves this guy
is a social bum.
Anyway, he lost the swiping
privilege and besides he has
permanent sense of humiliation
because of the stain, and Capt.
Rickenbacker talks of indiffer-
ence, for goodness sake.
TT Is PLAIN that he does not

distance cost him a fat daily
double because he got TO the
doubles window just in time to
get shut out.
But did he get sore and park
nearer to the racing yard? He
did not.
And Capt. Rickenbacker talks
of greed. for goodness sake.
have no doubt he experienced
some of the vexations of waiting
while gliding about the ocean
that time, but what about the
way our people right here in
New York have to wait for taxi
cabs on rainy nights because
the war has cut down the num-
Der of cabs?
A ND for goodness sake, look
"A at the hazards of riding in
the cabs that are left which
have become slightly broken
down and spawned since the
war prevents the operators from
getting new parts.

in fell out and she had to run
like the devil for blocks and
blocks 10 keep up.
If Capt. Rickenbacker wants
some first hand info on how the
home front is making sacrifices
he ought TO try 10 get trans
portation by air, especially on

T N FEBRUARY, under master plan, the l, 100
L square-mile area of our great school system
was divided into ten districts, each with student
chairman and an adult chairman. Each of the ten
districts contained several Of our 81 Junior high
schools and several of our AZ senior high schools.
The plan which was followed by the Eagle
Rock Highland Park district under adult chair
manship of Crawford E. Peek, principal of Irving
Junior High School, is one which should serve as
an example for all school districts embarking upon
similar projects.
First, with full assistance of junior and senior
high school boys and girls in the district, a COM
plete survey of the community from the stand
point of youth assets" and liabilities made.
The assets, of course were Fairgrounds Girl
Scout and Boy Scout troops, churches and church
youth groups, lamp clubs, Junior Red Cross
groups, Hi-Y organizations, after-school athletic
clubs, service club youth projects, and all available
youth leadership -
The liabilities were places where minors
might purchase liquor, dance halls unsupervised
parks, unsavory young gangs" and all types of
wrong influences to be found in more or less
degree in every community.
THEN representative committees of adults and
l. students sat down and went over the neigh
borhood assets to find out if boys and girls were
taking advantage of available resources, and if
not if the answer to be found in lack of oppor-
tunity, lack of leadership, or what factor might
be responsible.
A similar approach was made to liabilities
to find out how much of the youth of the com.
munity was being drawn into improper establish
ments and areas, and what were the reasons for
this
Students of the different schools personally
called upon officers of the juvenile division of the
Highland Park police department to assure them
of the whole-hearted support of the high school
student body in the enforcement of juvenile laws
The same representatives, later, working in CO.
operation with the police department, called atten-
ton of the police to certain pool hall problems,
which were eliminated

BRIGHTER
SIDE
By Damon
Runyon

EOR goodness sake, here is
4 another fellow squawking
about the greed and selfishness
and the indifference and the
complacency and I do not know
what all else of the home front.
This time il is Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker, the old-time fly
ing fellow, and IL is only be-
cause of his past service in let
ting the seagull light on his
head, or whatever it was he did,
that I refrain from giving him
a sharp reprimand for his
cracks.
For goodness sake. has Capt.
Rickenbacker been yachting
around on that raft in the Pa
cific Ocean all this time that
he does not know of the sacri-
flee on the home front, like for
instance the way people have to
wait for things TO come back
from the cleaners?
This is because so many of
the cleaners helpers have gone
away to the war instead of stay
ing home and helping with the
cleaning, though how they ex-
pect us to have clean things,
l am sure l do not know.
Sometimes you have TO wait
for days and days to get some
thing back from the cleaners
and 1 want to tell you of fate
worse than death that befell
friend of mine in New York as
a result of this situation and
Capt Rickenbacker talks of
complacency, for goodness sake.

CHILDREN of various church affiliations were
~ selected to contact leaders in their churches,
urging an enlarged social program, especially for
children Of junior high school age. AS result,
activities for young people have increased in the
churches In addition to the more social affairs,
basketball teams of various churches were organ
lied and now are playing teams from other
churches
In similar fashion, student leaders approached
the other youth welfare elements of the COM
munity, and striking utilization of community
resources for youth has resulted.
Boys and girls, in this instance, with intelli-
gent adult backing, have done an immeasurably
fine job in capitalizing upon right influences, in
discovering new areas of youth activities and in
positively and constructivey combating juvenile
delinquency at its source

Tobacco Conferences
Will Continue

Prospects that Southern Mary
lands eight tobacco warehouses
would open for sales early this week
remained slight last night as the
Office of Price Administration de-
layed action on request by tobacco
sellers that the 52-cent-a-p pound
average ceiling price be lifted.
Frank Hall, president of the Marl-
boro Tobacco Market, said ware
housemen and growers will not be-
gin sales again until the OPA takes
some action on the request for
higher price levels. He said a meet
ing will be called Immediately after
the OPA makes a statement.
officials In the OPA's tobacco sec
ton said conferences were held yes
terday and would continue the first
of the week in an effort to settle
the problem.
Sales were discontinued at two of
Marlboro's three warehouses shortly
after the market opened Tuesday,
and at the other Southern Maryland
warehouses at the regular closing
hour that day. The third Marlboro
warehouse did not open.
Sellers complained that the aver
age ceiling prices were clamping a
lid on top prices being paid by Gig
arctic companies for the highest
type tobacco-the only type suitable
for cigarettes. They pointed out
that the crop this year is about TO-
100000 pounds short of last years
crop and present low prices will not
enable growers to meet produc-
ton costs.

5000 Youths Join
In Safety Program
Presented in UIine S

Some 5000 boys and girls of the
Washington Safety Patrol and
members of their families turned
out last night for the local cele-
bration of National School Safety
Patrol Day sponsored by the Dis
trict branch of the American Au-
tomobile Association at the Uline
Arena.
Accompanied by enthuiaStic
whistling and liberal amount of
good-natured heckling from the
sidelines, soldiers from the military
district of Washington, vaudeville
performers and local boys put on
their acts in the crowded audi
torium.
The drill team of st. Gabriel's
Parochial School, attired in Marine
summer uniforms. marched about
the auditorium to the commands
barked out by Drill Sergt. Jerome
McGovern, 13.
A unit of soldiers from the mill
tary district of Washington put on
an exhibition of close order drill.
Later in the program, the same
soldiers put on an exhibition of mill
tary skill in Judo, bayonet drill
and war dog demonstration which
had even the st. Gabriel drill team
sitting on the edges of their chairs.
Boxing bouts, bringing together
the best of the Metropolitan Police
Boys Club boxing talent under the
direction of Police Sergt Forrest L.
Binswanger, resulted in one cas-
ualty, a bloody nose for Billy Max
field, fighting in the 75-pound class
against Junior Perticari.
Youngest of the boxers were red
haired Ned Spangler and Joeie Ar
duini fighting in the 55-pound class.
The youngsters danced about the
ring attired in black silk shorts,
trimmed with a red stripe to a
chorus of remarks from the gallery.
Others appearing in the boxing
exhibition included Sammy Moore
VS.. Bill Sillers, in the 90-pound class
and Louis Fur VS.. Lester Sneed, in
the 110-pound class. The boxers

ARE WE CIVILIZED?
By Ruth Taylor

BY Ruth Taylor
Did you see the very fine statement
issued recently by a group of repre-
sentative citizens? They came from
both sides Of the fence, but in it they
lspoke just as Americans, calling upon
their tellow-American - their friends
and their neighbors to concentrate
their efforts upon the war and upon
the war alone. In the course of the
statement they made this fine appeal:
I'VE ask you to do your utmost to
temper any dispute that may divide
Iyour fellow Americans.
Notice what they said-not do away
with differences of opinion, not. stop
all arguments, but temper them, mod
crate them, be fair and give the other
fellow as much right to his own ideas
as you claim for yours, in short, re-
strain your utterances.
The savage - and here 1 includs
those mass savages whom we fight
today-succeeds by looking after HIM
self alone. He grabs what he wants
and fights to get things for himself
Ialone. If he succeeds in getting away
without being killed, he calls it sue
cess.
When savages first grouped them
selves into tribes, they but enlarged
this process. They were utterly cal
lous about the fate of anyone but
themselves. They went from tn e
battlefields without a backward look
at their slain. (Of course one could
easily draw comparison between
their actions and the conduct of the
Japanese.)
Civilization-from which our enc
mics have turned-is a way Of doing
things, a method of life which is ever
expanding, rather than merely a static
formula. Civilization implies respon-
sibility, for it succeeds only when
there is an able organization of free
men willing TO work for the good Of
all, that each may have a better way
of life. A mans success should be
but his way of rendering service to
other people.
Ma is but the instrument of civil
lizaGoa, one of the tools with which .
