Questions Indispensability

Questions Indispensability
To the Editor of The Star:
The very same people who proclaimed
In 1926 that Mr.. Roosevelt should
be elected because he was the only
person in the Nation who could put our
financial house in order, and in 1910,
because he was the only person who
could keep us out of the war, now are
proclaiming that he should be elected
because he is the only individual who
can make permanent peace.
But the evidence reveals the first two
proclamations far from being consum-
mated. What reason then Is there to
believe that the last one will be?

 This is the sad story of a worker in Kodiak who got leave of absence to visit his wife in Tennessee. He decided not to let her know he was coming so he could surprise her.
 When he arrived at his home he went to the door and knock ed on 1t. His wife answered. She eyed him very coldly, he said.
 "What do you want?" she asked.
 What do you think I want?" he sad banteringly.

The following is culled from Photoplay magazine:
 Seems certain Victory and actors committees are scowling even more ferociously in the Gi- rection of that male star (and close friend of Clark Gable's) for his lack of cooperation. We report only what we've been told from headquarters, but it seems the star insisted the req son he didn't tour the camps was because he wanted overseas duty. So they gave it to him.

KODIAK
 DIARY

Vital statistics are always in- teresting; some of the non-vltal ones even more 80. To the latter we wish to record the latest fig ures on the number of habitual drunkards in Kodiak.
 The figure is B Two are fe- males, the rest males. The fig ures were compiled by the police and the names have been pre- sented to the various tals and liquor stores in connection with enforcement of the law that pro- vides that liquor shall not be sold to habitual drunkards. Police promise strict enforce ment of the law, which provides a penalty of not more than 1 year and fine of not more than $500.
 The names are none of your business, or mine.
 But we want it understood that one vague a aopellation that appears thereon, specifically, "Shaky Bill'. refers to no one we know
 Although it may be accurate otherwise -descriptively.
 Later fash: Kodiak's habitual drunkard population has. drop ped to nil. The blacklist has been withdrawn. Reason: Dls- agreement in official circles over certain names on the list.
 Question to be solved now: When does an habitual drinker become, for such purposes, a habitual drunkard?

 Practically all democratic forces in Germany have been liquidated. Heinrich Himmler has been thor ough.

 "There will be none," one source told me. Hitler and Himmler have seen to that. That is one of their strong holds. The people have no one to turn to-"
 There is some speculation that German business interests might force Hitler and the general staff to surrender once Allied armies reach Germany's borders.
 Swedish observers, who know the Nazi organization, say such move would not be indicative of any change in German sentiment, for nc group could be in position to act without the sanction of Himmlei and his Gestapo.
 Social Democratic and Commun- ist forces are trying to organize III Germany, and the powerful Cathollt Church has the framework of an organization, but these and other groups lack the leaders who coulc step forward on behalf of Germany at the day of reckoning.
