TOWARD A PACIFIC DECISION

In the Pacific the memorable pattern of Axis doom is being
worked out with a deadly consistency which helps to explain
the growing CONSERVATION in Tokyo. 1t is no longer possible
for the war lords to escape the significance of the multiplying
portents. Looming among the potential disasters of the near
future is the invasion of the home islands of Japan, says the
independent-Record.
There are many reasons to believe that the remaining sum-
nner months will witness this last act of the Pacific drama.
Expectations of an early move against the home islands of
Japan are strengthened by General MacArthurs announce
ment that the Philippines will serve as the main base of such
an attack.
The satisfactory progress of the Australian invasion of
Borneo, the heightened tempo of the strategic bombing of Jap
anese industrial centers, the Smelling by American warships
of Japanese possessions near the Siberian coast, combine with
conferences of high-ranking naval men to support the belief
that vital decisions are about to be made effective.
The Allies are the masters of the situation in the Pacific.
They have demonstrated repeatedly that they are in position
whelming superior power. They have shown on Saipan, on
Two, on Okinawa, in the Philippines, on Borneo, in Burma, in
the air and on the sea that they can overcome whatever re-
Sjstance the Japanese may offer.
There is accordingly no reason to assume that the japanese,
facing powerful invasion forces, can succeed where the Ger
mans failed, that they can accomplish on Honshu what they
failed to accomplish on Okinawa.
The war in the Pacific is moving swiftly toward its de-
eisive phase. Americans can view its progress with confidence
They have what it takes to succeed.

Stefan's House Record
Durinq 6 Terms Lauded

Representative Stefan, Republican,
of Nebraska was given round of
applause in the House last week
when he was praised by Representa-
tive Miller, a fellow Nebraska Re-
publican, for having rendered dis
tinguished and eminent service"
during his six terms in Congress.
The occasion for the tribute was
the recent announcement that Ma
tional University had conferred on
Mr.. Stefan an honorary degree of
doctor of laws.
Mr.. Stefan, the speaker recalled,
started at the bottom of the lad
der" serving as a messenger and
check boy for the Western Union
Telegraph Co., at Omaha, Nebr.,
and worked nights in order to COM
plete his education. He was born on
a farm near Zebravkov, Bohemia.
His career includes service as a
telegrapher, news reporter, editorial
writer and radio commentator. He
served in the telegraph division in
the Philippines in 1904-06.
A world traveller, who speaks
several foreign languages, Mr.. Stef-

could not desert the epileRtic rab-
bits nor abandon some precious
blind Daschhunds that dance in cir
cles, always whirling to the right.
This also is hereditary.
The doctor expressed no fear
since he claims he always thought
Hitler's race theories the bunk and
since the rabbit experiments did
not support Herrenvolk ideas. Prov
ing the race theory was the job of
Professor Doctor" Arbel, whom he
describes as 80 per cent scientist and
10 per cent NaZi.
So now a lot of family records

although some strong Nazis were
offered excellent positions working
their brains for Russia.
Now II with families are on their
way to Moscow, delighted with the

pulsion, DR.. Nachtsheim said, but
they would be fools to refuse the
generous offers allowing them to
continue their life's work.
Dr. Nachtsheim was working on
hereditary diseases among rabbits
as early as 1886, DR.. Hugh G. Nc
Phee, director of animal husbandry
in the Agriculture Departments

yesterday. DR.. McPhee said he had
visited DR.. Nachtsheim in 1886 in
Dahlem, a Berlin suburb, and OBJ
served what may have been the be-
ginning of some of the experiments
which have now been brought to
