the knowledge that his slate was

any shadow on his record Of II

Hours before death came he

o. K. Airport
AT Ronnu|us

The county road commission
was laying plans today TO wei
come major airlines serving De-

Wayne County Airport sometime
next spring.
Common council last night
unanimously approved a resolu-
ton which will start the legal ma
chinery make the Wayne County
Airport near Romulus Detroit $
ma jor airport for an interim OF
four 10 five years.
The councils action, however,
does not represent a clear cut
solution TO Detroit's a rport
muddle.
Such questions as these are
still dangling:
How can the airlines be
forced TO move operations 10 the
Wayne County Airport?
Will the efforts 10 obtain land
for the Wyoming and Eight

called of I?
AIRLINES OPPOSED
George r. Kennaday Of Ameri-
can AirlineS. representing the air
line industry. told council the air
lines were opposed 10 moving 10
the WapHe- County Airport.
Councilman Dorais, however,
suggested that the city could
force the move by refusing 10 re-
new the existing leases which the
airlines hold AT The present air
port.
The council ( still deadlocked

Berchesgaden Ahead

For all practical purposes the juncture of
American and Russian forces in Germany is
an accomplished fact. The strip dividing Red
and American forces is Of no military value
to the Germans. North and south Germany
are separated with no means of troops in the
one section reinforcing troops in the other.
When American and Russian advance guards
finally shake hands, the gesture will be anti
climax
around Berlin, the Reich capital, again for
all practical purposes is as dead as Paddy S
goat. Berlin, too, has no military value for
the Germans. In the NORTH the British are
driving on Bremen. Its fall, and the conquest
OF all northern Germany is matter of days,
possibly of hours.
This leaves but one sector in which the
enemy can otter stiff resistance-the south
and General Pattons Third Army is moving
against it with the proverbial irresistability
that has characterized it since D-Day in Nor
mandy so long as its supply line was in full
operation.
The Third Army is driving southwark from
the Czech border. The Bavarian redoubt and
Berchtesgaden Hitler's private hideout, OBJ
viously is the elective. While resistance along
the Third Arny's route is reported crumbling,
lit is probable that fighting closely resembl-
ing Two and Okinawa will have to be done
at Berchtesgaden, if accounts Of its defenses
are in any way accurate
1t is said that this mountain bastion is guard
ed not only with powerful anti-aircraft bat
teries and heavy artillery, but also contains
innumerable caves and secret rooms supplied
with machine guns manned by the most fanati-
cal of Hitler's personal guard. Deep in the
mountain are nests that may be more difficult
to take than anything the Japanese have thus
far had to offer, despite the terrific bomb
ing yesterday by British Lancasters drop
ping six-ton bombs, which completely. de-
stroyed Hitler's exposed quarters.
Capture probably cannot be effected until
the last defender has been killed. The Third
Army has tremendous job ahead. May Pat
tons skill be equal to it.

At San Francisco

With agreement among the sponsoring ma
tons that decisions shall have their foundations
in justice and international law, the San Fran
cisco Security Conference opens under favor
able circumstances. II this dictum is sedu.
lousy observed the nations and peoples Of
the world will have better chance Of surviv-
ing than when some sought separate benefits
at the expense Of others and opened the way
for this war that has engulfed the earth,
But it would be foolish to assume that the
San Francisco meeting will be love feast.
There is bound to be friction. There may be
dissention 1t is not in the nature Of things that
representatives Of forty six nations should
see eye to eye in all matters.
The sponsoring nations themselves are not
in agreement on certain vexing questions at
the start. The Russian delegates are to re-
quest three votes and have the endorsement
the United States earlier planned to ask for
three herself and back Russia's request Wash
ington now appears reluctant to have the mat
ter brought up at ali and the present attitude
of her representatives is a yelled secret.
The Russian delegates, too, are assumed to
be ready to demand representation for the
Polish group with which Russia has signed
a treaty of family, in the face Of open opposi-
ton by the Washington and the London gov
ernments which hold that any Polish govern
ment should include representatives Of t h e
London group which has long claimed to be
the authentic government OF Poland. Mr.. Stet-
tinius, Mr.. Eden and Mr.. Molotov spent har-
assed hours discussing this matter in Wash
ington only forty-eight hours ago with Presi-
dent Truman presumably giving advice. This
is liable to disturb the serenity Of the San
Francisco proceedings.
Then, too there are the Breton Woods agree
ment and the Dumbarton Oaks decisions which
probably will be hotly debated and probably
subjected to revisions, particularly the pro-
vision for an international fund intended to
stabilize the finances Of signatory nations.
But even with these and other questions ap-
parently destined for probable disagreement, it
is in the interest Of lasting security that forty
six nations can meet in conference and discuss
their problems with the primary purpose Of
establishing a world organization for peace
The San Francisco conference is a step for
ward for civilization.

LaGuardia Tells EN-

A thought that has been in many minds
for some time is at last given expression
IN a way that assures it wide circulation
because of the prominence of the speaker and
the sounding board against which it is ut.
tered
Mayor LaGuardia tells the Senate Food In.
vestigating Committee that the country's fooc
program ought to be put under one admin
istrator-that .the Office of Price Administra
ton and the War Food Administration should
be consolidated. Control and price fixing
should be under one head, by which means
it probably would be possible to do away
with Implications Of work and effort and con
Trajectory orders that have interfered with
food distribution and had as much to do with
creating a black market as anything
else.
The idea is not new. 1t certainly did not
originate with the Little Flower. But by ut.
tering it in this public manner it may serve
10 crystalize public opinion and, so tend to
start 4 needed reform in food administra-
ton.
Difficult a. the food situation is, it has
been made worse by duel authority.

Daily Prayer
FOR A NEW DAY

In Thine eternity, O God, all
days are fresh and new and joy.
Gus; but sometimes we find the
days to which we awaken on earth
weary and monotonous and hard
and full of the petty cares that
endanger our spirits freedom. So
we pray Thee that we may be
helped by Thee to put the fresh
ness and gladness of the eternal
life into these present days. I'm
part to our hearts new zeal Of
life, and quickened interest in
everything that Thou considerest
important enough to send unto u.s.
While our hearts hourly bear the
burden of war, may we neverthe'
less have an open eye for all lit
tie occasions of gladness and for
every opportunity to render ser'
ice. Into the lowliest tasks may
we take the loftiest spirit, as did
Jesus, our Master and Example,
And even if Thou deniest us Joy
in this new day, our Father, with
hold not from us an opportunity
to serve Thee in doing Thy most
holy will. Thus will the day be
blessed to us, to our neighbor, and
to the Kingdom Of Heaven. Amen.

One morning after breakfast about
a dozen of us were sitting on the

Our First Division marine com

Suddenly Lieut.. Bones" Carstens
stood up and said:
Il cleaned my fingernails this
morning and it sure does feel

And then my friend Bird Dog
Clayton held his own begrimed
hands out in front of him, looked
at them longtime and said:
If was to 60 to dinner in Dal-

white tablecloth l wonder what
would happen?"
A good many of the Okinawan
civilians, while wandering along
the roadside, bow low to every
American they meet. Whether this
is from fear or native courtesy
do not know, but anyhow they do it.
And the Americans being Ameri-
cans usually bow right back.
