Another Son of Hagar

Amid conflicting news coverage OF con
ditions throughout the world following cessa
ton of hostilties it becomes harder to know
what to believe, what to question and wha
openly to doubt.
This report from Chungking that Emperor
Hirohito has abdicated, with the idea OF es
Gaping punishment as a war criminal, is q
case in point. 1t is denied, Of course. But Il
is possible that the Mikado, overlooking the
fact that he is virtually prisoner OF the oc
cupation forces and besides would certainly
be slain by elements Of the Japanese mill
tary, if they could get within rifle range o.
him, actually has thought Up the idea Of step
ping out and 50 saving his skin.
Oriental thinking is something the Western
world can't fathom, but as we see it. Hiro.
hito would be no less a war criminal in abdi-
cation than he has been in the palace and
therefore an object for prosecution in either
case.
Reading of the atrocities practiced against
innocent men, women and children through
out the sphere of Japanese operations ever
since the Marco Polo bridge incident, to say
nothing of our armed forces, and remembering
that it was Hirohito who signe. the documents
that committed Japan to war against Us, it
is impossible to clear him Of guilt. If he is at
present useful agent for Macarthur in dis.
arming Japan, that is no reason to excuse his
crime or even tighten his punishment.
Certainly he could not better his lot by alb.

escape. BY his own action ne mas become one

against whom all mems hands are turned.

Drive Carefully

In 1871 highway casualties reached an all
time high of 10000 deaths and 100000 in
juries. How many of those injured have since
died of their wounds or how many were
manned are not known. 1t is certain however
that the totals cited by the National Safety
Council do not truly reveal the terrible toll
or the nations highways during that last year
of unrestricted transportation.
Now that the combat has ended and gaso-

Dangerous Souvenirs

Shells, grenades and mortars have been
among the favorite war souvenirs sent home
by the fighting forces, or are being brought
home in the seabags Of returning veterans.
They would be all right if many OF them were
not live ammunition. Only when they have been
examined and tested by ordnance experts is
it safe to harbor them.
AS the story is told in the Christian Science
Monitor, throughout the war the armed forces
have told their personnel of the danger OF
'booby-trap souvenirs" Demonstrations, lee.
lures and talks have been supplemented by
inspections but the lethal shells. grenades and
nnortars still get by and arrive in the service.
mems homes
It is now up to the families themselves to
take steps 10 prevent the unexpected explo-
sions which may occur. Arrangements have
been made and police ballistic experts are
ready to receive the shells, grenades and NOR
tars and either render them harmless or ex-
plode them safely.
Some idea Of the situation may be gained
from a recent cross-section survey made at
the Eleventh Naval District in Los Angeles.
In that area there 'ere 100 souvenirs col
lected from homes and servicemen. OF this
number 81 contained explosives and 70 were
If, dangerous condition and would explode

The same thing is true in Boston. Many
shells have been taken from debarking service
men
Pointing 70 a small black Japanese hand
z-e.ade, the Lieutenant used it as an example.
The grenade has a 40 second tlmelag, after
tie detonating pin mas been struck, and in
t-is instance the sailor who had sent it home
.ror- Eou-sainville was sure he had rendered

Eevever. when his mother brought it to the
sIrst Naval District for inspection, the grenade

uss sufficient to explode the grenade at any
tine.
Tnen the Navy Lieutenant picked up g.
inch shell casing from the floor, where 1t had
been used as an ashtray stand. Passing it along
to the newspaper reporters and photographers
for inspection, all gave 1t clean bill; ii
vas empty and seemed harmless.

Taylor held it struck the end of the case with

The Literary Guidepost

with which the Redcliff family din
ner breaks up.
One reason why this book will
be popular, or why those who have
put money into it think it will be,
is its support of the good old days,
the horse-and-buggy philosophy. To
learn, as you may from the
jacket, that the two families involv-
ed are Redcliffs and Hessenwinkles
is to suppose the Redcliffs will be
the right kind OF people and the
Hessenwinkles the wrong a
contrast that some readers will call
unfair to the foreign-sounding
name. These readers might COM
plain Of unfairness again in the
opposite treatments accorded to
one Redcliff male and one Hessen-
Wrinkle female for the same offense,
committed indeed at the same in
slant; or still again because the
one rash and immature act in the
entire novel is committed by the
one person activated. however un-
wisely, by idealsm.
In other words, this is a novel
which real-life Recliffs will in
dorse and real-life Hessenwinkles
resent. but they'll all have a good
time reading it.

THREE O'CLOCK DINNER, by
Josephine Pinckney Viking: $3.50
Just as 1 decide regretfully that
the book which wins a prize or
makes author and publisher rich
probably does not merit much
space in a review column written
for grownups, along comes a novel
like this, selected by the Literary
Guild for October, bought by MGM
for $125, 1000 plus, and yet an excep-
tionally interesting story.
The authors particular virtue
seems to me to be thoroughness.
This is the sort of book on which
she could have spent years pa
tiently working over sentences
which develop once in while into
epigrams. nursing a complicated
plot and keeping every step clear,
bringing up her characters to sut
her various purposes.
Perhaps her most careful study
went into Fen Redcliff. who, dead
before the story opens, neverthe-
less proceeds to establish control
in various ways over his widow
Judith, his brother Tat, Lorena

Perhaps her most inspired touch

Register For Extension

At yesterdays meeting Of the Executive
Committee of the Citizens Committee for City
Extension, special emphasis was placed upon
the importance of getting eligible voters to
register in the allotted time. and then to get
out the vote on the day OF election.
These two items cannot be dwelt upon too
strongly. Nor can too much effort go into
carrying them out. Every resident who has a
definite interest in seeing their community
take advantage of its opportunities to occupy
more vital position among the cities OF the
Atlantic seaboard, has an obligation to place
his or her name upon the registration books
The bill authorizing the election requires a
new registration. And everybody within the
city and the affected suburbs mas an equal
obligation to cast ballot when the polls are
open.
Full information, the days for registering,
and the advantages to be provided, will be
given by press and radio. There will be no
excuse for anyone to be uninformed on any
phase OF tbs proposal.
Let the people of rne city and its suburbs
do their full duty and support city expansion
at the ballot box.

Macarthur Bearing Down

Among the latest measures put into effect

How near the japanese were to achieving
the completion Of experiments which would
have given them the atomic bomb when the
surrender came is OF course not know. But
Japan had been engaged in these experiments
along with Russia, Germany and France for
some years, and probably would have hit upon
the formula sooner later.

Secret Police, Student Housing
Cause New Worries For Frenchmen
BY ROBERT C.. WILSON
Substituting for Kenneth L.Dixon)

PARIS, Sept. "a - Up - The
French took time off from theil
ordinary, everyday concern abou
food and how they're going to vote
in the coming elections to worry
aloud about Frances secret police
and college students.
There is no connection between
the two. Both subjects happened to
come up the same week.
The Secret Police is the "DGER'
Direction General of Studies and
Research-which the French press
broadly limited is guilty of many
violent acts against French citi-
zens.
Criticisms became so voluble that
the government issued a forma.
statement explaining that "DGER'
was created in London by the Free
French forces in 1910 for undercov-
er work in occupied France.
Since then. the government ex.
plains, it has been charged with
counter-espionage, particularly out
side Frances frontiers.
One newspaper charged that not
a day passes but that under the
aegis of those four mysterious let
tiers some criminal act is perpetrat-
ed by the members of that special
secret police subject to no control, !"
and called for purge of its 'Vichy-
lite, Fascist members.
The government admitted that
perhaps some troublesome ele-
ments" had infliltrated into the
ranks OF the police but that they
were lin the minority" and insist
ed that the DGER plays role OF
national interest outside our from
tiers"
AS for college students, there is
concern that they'll have to sleep
under the bridges" because OF the
housing shortage. The Sorbonne is
going to open shortly and students
complain that they cannot flnd a
place to live.
THE future OF French youth is at
stake" the Education Ministry
says, pleading with landlords to
rent rooms to students. There have
been loud protests that many OF
them will not rent to students by
the month or semester, but anly by
the day at exorbitant prices.
Meanwhile there is talk OF pos.
sible strike of Frances underpald

Service workers were seeking an

AFBF ASKS PRICE
SUPPORT PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.A(P)-
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton recommended to President
T imam today a 1916 agricultural
progrsm calling for support prices
on all commodities where increas-
ed production is sought.
The delegation, headed by Presi-
ent Edward A. O'Neal, specifi-
cally recommended ID Support

for which an increase in produc.
ton been asked, whether
through proclamation or by ceeficial
program planning" and (2) price
supports during the first postwar
year on total creage of annual
crops under production next Jan
uary |.
A-ter the first year, the group
suggested, the government should
support prices on these conn &c d.
ties to the extent that farm ers re.
spond to requests for adjustment
in production"
The group planned to present the
recommendations later to Agri.
culture Secretary Anderson.
Inc farm leaders said the pres
ent program on corn, cotton, wheat,
tobacco, rice and peanuts was
adequate.

group of Farm Bureau leaders, in

O'Neal suggested retention of
cotton loans at 90 IL per cent OF

for the coming crop year.
He said the present tobacco
