AN UNTOLD STORY

Radio France in Algers flashed an important
war bulletin to the allied world last Thursday morn
ing which was recorded here by the Office of War
Information and released to the nation S newspapers
In an obscure corner of Americas daily press you
may have read it, the announcement of the passing
of Adolphe Felix Sylvestre Eboue the Governor
General Of French EQUATORIAL Africa. One of the
most important leaders of the modern French Empire
and member of the Supreme War Council of Free
France died Wednesday evening in hospital in
Cairo.
This war bulletin signaled the close of drama
tic chapter in the untold story of the worlds greatest
war No honest historian Of this frghtful period
will dare ignore the role of Felix Eboue who stood
almost alone throughout the French Empire DEFIANT
" opposed to the terms of Hitler at the fall of
France The regime at Vichy accused the black
Generalissmo of raising the flag Of revolt against
the Naz dictated armistice on the borders of Lake
Chad in that fatefu August of 1910 Every foot of
France that this man ruled remained free.
Governor General Eboue made his historic de-
cison to keep his corner of the French Empire free
at a time when Adolph Hitler stood on the shores
of Dunkeroue poised to invade England, at time
when the greatest powers of the European continent
Law vanQuished at a time when many Americans
began to fear that the Germans were invincible.
With few trained black legions at his command,
Eboue answered the demands of the Nazi puppets
of Vichy to recognize the armstice by ordering a
general mobilization of the natives of Equatorial
Africa.
General Charles de Gaulle, who had fled to Eng
land to organize government in exile appointed
Governor General Eboue to the Council of Defense
of the French Empire and the tide of France turned
toward victory.
There are those who hold that history is essen
italy the story of the actions of great men, What
ever our view, do know that the decision of Felix
Eboue to cast his destiny the side of the democra-
cies was noble and daring act Of worldwide i'm
portance We know too that the new France which
will surely rise out of the holocaust of the present
will number this patriot among its immortals. We IN
America regret that he did not live to see France
free nor share in the fulfllment of the victory for
which he did so much in democracy darkest hour.

The Technical committee Of the
Sporting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers institute has issued
this warning:
''Never use smokeless powder
loads even light smokeless pow
der loads-in guns having Damascus
or other twist barrels! To ignore
this warning is to court severe per-
sonal injury through possible gun
barrel rupture.
Some sportsmen still think twist
barrels will handle modern loads
safely as long as the extra heavy
long range loads are avoided. This
is a fallacy. Twist barrels were de-
signed back in the days of black
powder, which is far less powerful
and develops much lower pressure
than any of our modern gunpowders.
Even the so-called light modern
loads are unsafe in twist barrels.
MANY Of these barrels are the
handiwork of highly skilled crafts
men. But regardless Of the quality Of
workmanship employed, the method
of combining low-carbon steel with
iron and the weakening heating
process to which they have been
subjected during manufacture rem
der them unsafe for the high pres
sures developed by modern loads,
for which they emphatically were
not designed. American manufac-
turers have not made them since
the advent of modern progressive
burning or 'smokeless' powder"

u. S. Decorates Residence
To House Official Guests
BY FRED MEIER

Another famous residence in the
nations capital has been completely
refurbished and decorated by the
government for housing high official
guests from foreign countries for
whom the White House does not
have adequate room, or the state
and other government departments
separate living accommodations. 1t
is the celebrated Blair-Lee house.
at 1857 Pennsylvania avenue. oppo-
site the State department, and next
door to Blair house, in which Euro
pean kings and other heads of state
have been accommodated on their
visits to Washington.
The Blair-Lee house was so
named because it was once the
home of Betty Blair, a celebrated
Washington belle who was daugh-
ter of Francis Preston Blair. Betty
Blair married and lived in the house
with Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee.
u. S. NJ, a distant cousin of Gen.
eral Robert E. Lee. The latter was
offered command of the Union
armies in the Blair house next door,
shortly before he chose to cast his
lot with the Confederacy.
A cursory glance would suggest
that the Blair-Lee house and the
Blair house constitute single
building, due to the similar paint
styling, and in a sense, they are,
for although architecturally sepa-
rate, and actually painted in diff
ferent tints, their close similarity OF
facade, which is practically un-
broken, and the use for which they
are intended, dement's them into a
single institution. The demands
upon the Blair house have outgrown
it's capacity. and the Blair-Lee
house will now constitute suitable
and dignified annex compatible with
the requirements of distinguished
national guests.

Fathers: There was passenger
in the taxi but the meter was not
registering because the flag hadn't
been pulled down. In other words,
the driver was ''high faggin' an
offense on which the hack bureau
frowns severely. At Seventy-second
street, the shril1 whistle of an officer
caused the driver to pull over to the
curb. He was plainly nervous-his
license would probably be sus-
pended for a week which would
mean no earnings in that time. The
officer advanced with slow and
heavy tread, his summons book in
his hand. II forgot the stick" SIAM
mered the driver. 81 was thinkin' "
the officer didn't try to conceal dis
belief bout my son. He's down
in the Pacific with the marines and
he's been wounded bad. Here's the
letter just got tellin' me about it."

mons book went back into his
pocket. "On your way, Mac" he
growled, IT got boy in the South

Surprise: Bell boys in New York's
hotels are sophisticated lot and it
takes the most unusual to give them
pause. Nevertheless, a Waldorf
Astoria bell-hop, when he entered
a room to deliver some medicine
the other afternoon, all but turned
and fled. There was ample reason
for the lads perturbation-he found
himself face to face with Hitler,
Goebbels and Goering, brown shirts,
swastika arm bands and every
thing! Though the resemblance was
so startling they would have caused
a riot had they gone out into the
street, the unholy trio were merely
Hollywood actors, principals in the
Paramount film '"The Hitler Gang"
in town for the premiere Of the pic
ture. The makeup was for interview
purposes and for pictures for a
weekly magazine. The surprise OF
the ben-hop, however, wasn't so
great that he left without tip.
Sick knowledge: War has caused
the University of Canton to move
here and there in free China; work
at times has been carried on under
actual bornbardment; the fall of
Hong Kong wiped out it's entire as
sets. Nevertheless, instead of being
crushed, the university today has
the largest enrolment in its Is years
of history, total of more than 5000
students. So said DR.. Chen-Piang
Chan, president of the university,
who is in the United States on
mission for his government. The
university is now located at Kukong,
q city in northern Kwantung, and
has branches in Macao, Toishan and
Kweilin. It really extends all over
free China. Students who have COM
pleted their courses go out and i'm
part to others the knowledge they
have acquired. Undergraduates in
the free time, visit villages and give
elementary instructions to children
and even the elders.
