EDEN's GARDEN

It didn't leak out, but Colonel John Leval, State Department ey- pert on Near East oil, was called secretly before Senator Maloney s oil committee to testify regarding the proposed pipeline through Arabia Senators are still talking about some of the things he re- vealed during the five-hour off the record session.
 Among other things, Leval warn ed that Russia was certain to fix her eyes on the Middle East and try to take over certain rich oil sec tions there. The Tigris and the Euphrates Valley, Col Leval told the committee, not only are rich in fertility, with tremendous irri- gation possibilities, but also have an oil empire of fifty-billion bar rels-the key to peace or war
 After reminding Senators that this territory was certain to be the victim of tug-ofwar between Britain and Russia, Col. Leval added:
 You know this was the Garden of Eden.'
 To which. Senator Brewster of Maine shot back:
 You mean the Garden of Petro- leum Eden"
 Without a moments hesitation, Senator vandenberg of Michigan flashed
 No, the Garden of Anthony Eden"
 Note-More is going to be heard from the Maloney committee as the Arabian Knights eclipse the Arabian Nights for public atten- ton.

Candor and Confidence
Washington Post


 The indscretion of a United States Army ser geant is responsible for the release of the that 23 American transport planes shot down by our own anti-aircraft fire during the invasion of Sicily eight months ago. The sergeant correspondent for the Army Stars and Stripes, did not know that it is form of lese majeste to tell of bllnders by mil- tary and naval commanders. The blunder in question was peculiarly tragic It the lives of 40 American paratroopers Perhaps in the confusion and excitement of major landing operation it was inevitable Self-inficted casualties may occasionally be part of the frightful cost of war. As to the incident itself do not feel qualified to pass udg ment. For the concealment of it, however there appears to be no justification whatever.
 No doubt the Army and Navy will trot out again, in explanation the old shibboeth of security When ever the brass hats want to something up they argue that knowledge of it might give aid to the enemy Unfortunately these things lester when they are kept in darkness. And they have an awkward habit of coming to light They give far greater aid to the emmy when knowledge of them comes beatedy. More serious still, they strike blow at public dence in the candor of the armed forces They lead to the suspicion that of this sort common rather than exceptional Tn essence, the incident in question is like the Patton affair Similarly its repercussons bound to be magnifed by the delay in disclosure The moral should by now be obvious even to the men in uniform; straightforwardness is the secret of sound public relations

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compeP'
TUESDAY, APRIL II

In the horoscope for today mild ly adverse aspects are dominant. Judgment should not be relied on while the configuration prevails.
 HEART AND HOME: Women in tent upon Spring repairs in the home should take notice of first evidences of the new order of things that will exist in postwar days This is time to avoid re- beating schemes of interior decor ation or adhering to long popular modes of furnishing living rooms.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Conserva- tive policies should govern bankers and financiers through this entire year. The stars predict sensational changes in international banking systems and amazing methods of conducting the commerce of the future Caution should guide in all investments. Real estate booms will spread over many parts of the United States late this Spring.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Evaluation of the children of the nation will result from studies of juvenile de- linquency. Responsibility for the welfare of boys and girls in every walk of life will be accepted as a duty by citizens who henceforth will realize the importance of safe guarding the country's greatest asset.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Heavy reverses for Japan are prog nosticated One will take place near the equator, another in China whence a terrific offensive will be launched in due season. The Man l ila harbor will be heavily bombed and much Japanese shipping de- stroyed.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year for extra at tention to business affairs. Quarrels should be carefully summed. i Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious and restless. Many will travel to progress in their careers.

radio communication between trains and between the brakeman and the engineer of train, through micro waves. This is field of high fre- quency radio waves which are very short, approaching the frequency of light and heat waves.
 Through micro waves, the Rock Island expects to overcome the pro- blem of insufficient channels avail able for broadcasting. The railroad also hopes to develop the use of radio in preventing train wrecks.

 He is Ernest A. Dahl, formerly of Western Electric, and also in charge of certain instructions for the U. S. Signal Corps. Under Dahl, the Rock Island plans to develop

had fallen down the marble steps.
 Either because the British didn | want it known that they were giv- ing a party, or out of deference to Governor Lehman's feelings, they blocked transmission of the news However, since Lehman is a most abStemious man and the fall could not have been related to alcohol, , there seems no good reason for withholding publication. Certainly it is not going to help the enemy to know that the ex-governor of New York fell down the stairs of the British Embassy.

GOVERNOR LEHMAN FALLS

The mysterious whereabouts of UNRRA chief Governor Herbert Lehman has now leaked out. The British censored it for long time, but Lehman fell down the stairs Of the British Embassy in Algiers and broke his kneecap.
 For two weeks, U. s. officials wait ed for him in Cairo, did not know what had happened. Lehman had been scheduled to arrive for talks regarding relief in the Balkans. Fin ally, the mystery was cleared up when word came that gala recep- tion had been given him by the British in Algiers and that Lehman
