Women And Peace
Church Suppers Will Help, Says Clubwoman
Nv ADELAIDE KERR
APP Newsfestures Writer

Women had better bestir them
selves if they want the peace foun-
dations laid at San Francisco to
stick" says one of their leaders,
who attended the recent world Sc
curity conference.
She is Margaret Hickey, Presi-
dent of the National Federation
of Business and Professional Wo-
mems Clubs and Chairman OF the
Women's Advisory Committee Of
the War Manpower Commission.
This is no time to sit back and
relax" Miss Hickey said on
recent New York visit. ''We have
the blueprint for a peace machin-
cry, but not the reality and al
ter the machine does become
reality, we shall have to make
it hold together. For all this wo-
men have a tremendous respon-
sibility.
History proves that what the
people demand they get. Peace
will hold according to the force OF
public opinion. Women can do a
great deal here through the edu-
cation of their children, through
introducing discussion at their
dinner parties and study in the
home and through lively commun-
ity activities. Just consider what
can be done at a series of good
church suppers followed by round
table discussion and you will see
the power which women can WELD
for peace If they put their minds
to it."
Miss Hickey, who was discuss
ing women and peace as sae
breakfasted in her hotel suite,
paused a moment to pour second
cup of coffee and then went on.
People have a very fuzzy idea
about peace. They think of it as
perfect state and it isn't going to
be. In war it is just plain foolish
ness not to get along with your
allies. But in peace we may not be
so careful and there is danger in
their attitude.
Compromise are made through
effc st to understand the other
fellows country-his problems,
rights and points of view. The 9TH

soldier just back from Italy. He
said. It's a terrible country! For
one thing nobody speaks English.

WORKING FLOWER GARDEN IN COOL MORNING, EVENING SAVES SWEAT

understand that these will bloom but one year. A biennial is plant which, started from seed, requires two seasons to come to maturity. The first year it makes top growth, and usually, fleshy root. The sec- ond year it produces flowers and seed, living on the food stored up in the root, and then dying. Foxgloves, pansies, hollyhocks and Canterbury bells are typical examples of bien- nials.
 Allow some of your biennial blooms to set seed and either SOW immediately in a fiat, later trans planting to their permanent loca- tions. or permit the plants to re- seed themselves. I prefer to SOW in cold frame, keep the seeding there. mulch them for winter pro- lection, and transplant in early spring to the garden. The gardener must remember that nothing will grow without water; therefore be sure that the seed-bed is not per- mitted to dry out; keep constantly moist - not muddy.

on German Fifth Columnists inside his country and their denunciations.
 The American Army has handed over to the Czech government its No. war criminal, Karl Hermann Frank, formeA German minister of state for Bohemia and Moravia, who is to be tried in Prague for a long list of political crimes includ- ing the execution of 1,50O to 2,000 Czechs for the murder of Rein hardt Heydrich.
 Frank will be tried by a Czech court and there can be little doubt of the verdict. But Dr. Benes, now the dean of all European rulers who has been continuously in pow CT since 1919, insists that a few trials cannot solve a problem of split minorities.
 He is adamant in his demand that the Big Three withdraw their ob- jections to the deportation of the Fifth Column-or assume forever full responsibility for the safety of the Czechs and Slovaks in their own homes.

Brief Orotion Congress
Veteran USS Nevada Takes Suicide Attack In Her Sride
BY FREDERICK Q. OTHMAN

BY FREDERICK 0. OTHMAN
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, July ls-UP)-Big stories from little speeches some times grow. This concerns one of the shortest congressional orations yet:
 Rep. James c. Fulton, Pittsburgh, Pa, lawyer known among the la dies of the capitol secretariat as the only handsome congressman, asked for time to make 8 speech. He said (causing some of his long, winded cohorts to gulp) that he needed 30 seconds.
 He used his half minute to say that he'd tried in vain to become Q members of the naval affairs com- mittee, that he believed his qualifi- cations would make him useful, and that he intended to try again. Then he sat down.
 He didn't seem to have anything else on his mind and I asked him to drink a cup of coffee Che took iced teal. with me in the house lunchroom on the theory that those unexplained qualifications might be interesting.
 They were:
 It. Fulton-this same congress man I'm talking about-was serv- ing as a deAt officer on an aircraft carrier in the battle of the Philip pines, when the folks in Pittsburgh wirelessed to ask whether he'd mind if they ran him for Congress. He said he didn't mnid; then he went back to fighting Japs. Not until December did he learn he'd been elected; not until Feb ruary did he arrive in Washington to help govern his country. The one thing he really knew about was the navy.
 "So,", he said, T was made a member of two committees, one having to do with coinage, weights and measures, and the other with civil service"
 Rep. Fulton did not care whether the country made square money or put out quarters with holes in 'em, I so long as they could be spent. Neither did he lose sleep over how many pounds there are in peck. He wasn't too interested in the civil service, although he did startle the committee by demanding an inves- tigation of the civil service commits sion.
 What he wanted was a place on the naval affairs committee. A va cancy came up and Rep. Fulton tried every possible way to get the appointment.
 But I was a babe in the legisla- tive woods" he said. T discovered that a new congressman should not expect to become a member of an important committee, no matter what his qualifications.
 T believed that I could contribute something on carrier doctrine. When most of the current members of the naval affairs committee were ap- pointed, it was the battleship that was important Now it is the air craft carrier that is the backbone of the fleet.''
 Somebody else got the place on the naval committee: A citizen of Carterville, H., who lists himself in the congressional directory as c. w. (Runt) Bishop. Rep. Fulton said he had every respect for Runt. So do I, and car report that the newest member of the naval affairs committee used to be the best tailor in Carterville. He also worked as a coal miner, a telephone linesman and postmaster. He has been 6 member of congress for three terms, during which he has been a favorite
