The disastrous, as we'll as victo-
rious implications of this new dis
covery were pointed out when Mrs.
GlaScor stated that:
Newspaper headlines call the
atomic bomb the worlds newest
military aid, the thunderclap OF
doom; radio news commentators
broadcast excitedly that this new
product of key research men will
certainly end the war with Japan
in a short while. The atomic bomb
requires all of HollyWood's biggest
adiectives to describe it-colOssal.
stupendous gigantic--it is all OF
that and more.
TERRIFYING OBJECT
1t is terrifying. Terrifying even
though man now sees an entirely
new scientific era unfolding in
which the energy of the sun will
be harnessed--terrifying because its
explosive charge which is prob
ably no bigger than a baseball
does the damage OF twenty thou
sand tons of NT--terrifying be-
cause this atomic bomb has theo-
retically multiplied the destructive
power Of the American fleet Of Su-
perforts at least two thousand
times-yes, but terrifying most Of
all because progress in human rela-
tons has not kept pace with pro-
gress in the physical world.
DESTROY HATRED
The forces of hate, intolerance,
greed and bigotry, manifested
against nations, religious groups
variant cultures and races, must be
destroyed through education, care
full planning and action. We cam
not have such power and hatred
loose in the world, too, or it will
surely become a Frankenstein and
destroy us all. Our social forces
must be developed. Let us clean
house now and do it fast-or we are
doomed We must work hard for

Work for justice and equality for
all mankind. Eliminate the unscrup
ulous or he will surely eliminate us
all. Let lis concentrate on new and
better ways to understand and

strongest hacker in this proposal

Robinson, Atlantic City, president
of the National SuperhighWay
Association, who has been boom
ing the idea for more than 20
years.
Robinson says he even coined
term superhighway as far back

He has completed an analysis of

Here is just some of it: 1t would
have three main highways east

Although it would be laid out by
competent and unprejudiced civil

SHERIFF ROUNDS UP SIX men Who
QUIT JOBS AT BOCA CHlCA; THEY
WERE SENT BACK TO THEIR JOBS

Sheriff Berlin SAWYER was call
ed up on the telephone at 1870
O'Clock this morning and informed
that six men, working as iaboreFs,
had quit their job on a govern
ment project on Boca Chica, de-
spite the fact that they were being
paid IS cents an hour in accord
ance with the War Manpower
Commission act.
Sheriff Sawyer found four of
the strikers on Elizabeth street,
near Petronia, and asked them
what was their reason for leaving
their job, and they replied that
they wanted rs cents an hour.
You are getting the scale of
wages for that job" he told them
"as provided by law, so what do
you want to do, go to work or go
to jail?"
They said they would return to
work, and he told them to be
ready to ride back to their job i'm
a truck that would leave the Red
House, on Petronia street, near
Duval, in half an hour. He then
asked them where the other two
men were, and they replied at the
Red House.
washington authorities have
pointed out repeatedly that we
still have war to win, and that
this is no time to loaf, so | have
been on the trail of local loafeas,
giving them the choice of work
ing or going to JAIL" Sheriff Saw
yer explained. When | went to-
the Red House not only found
the other two strikers but other
men, making about 20 in all, who
were loafing. The six strikers fc-
turned TO their jobs, and | told
the other men if they were not
working by tomorrow morning. II
would arrest them, because all of.
them were guilty of absenteeisns."

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. - After
considerable controversy, the lite
story OF Eddie Rickcnbacker has
finally reached the screen. 1t is
acceptable as film biography, but
it fails to achieve the excitement
Of Rickcnbacker's real life.
To this reviewer, "Captain Ed
die" seems an error in judgment.
Aside from his adventure on a
raft in the South Pacific, the most
interesting phases Of Rickcnback-
lcrs life are:
/, His carly life as a racing
car driver. This is. dealt with in 4
one-minutc montage,
2. His achievement as the top
ace of the first world war. This
is kissed off in a couple of min
utes.
3. The southern airplane crash
which almost killed him. The
crash is not pictured; he is shown
briefly in the hospital afterwards,
Of the rest of the picture, the
raft scenes are effective because
of the heroic nature of the battle
against the sea. But even there,
the Characterization of the quar-
relsome survivor (Lloyd Nolam
is overdraWn.
Too much of the picture deals
with Rickenbacker's boyhood and
the courtship of his wife. Whole
sequences could easily have been
discarded and the more exciting
elements of the mans life subSti-
tuted.
My companion, Capt. Robert
Elliott of Tacoma. Wash, return
ed from 35 B24 missions in
Europe, said, THE picture is not
cXciting-not even in parts" He
also complained that after the
rescue the picture makers we're
confused as to whether to attrib-

smooth concrete barriers hub
high and steel plated on both
sides in either direction, thereby
eliminating all dangers of run
ming into trees, poles, bitches,
banks, bridges abutmentS, and
other death traps.
There would be no advcrtiS-
ing signs to divert the attention
Of drivers. The hills would be cut
down and the valleys filled up,
All other highways, railroads,
rivers and mountains would be
either Dridged or tunneIed. Thu
right-of- way would be from 500
to 1000 feet or more wide, with
frequent emergency airplanc
landing fields and modern air
ports. The roadbed would be con-
structed to carry. at high speeds,
load of approximately 100 tons
for defense or commerce. At en-
trance arenas off the highway,
there would be standard service
stations, rcfreshment stands and
tourist cabins"
Robinson estimates that the
national Superhighway system
would have 100000 permanent
employees and several millions in
the three to five years of its con-
struction.
He says that tolls would pay
for the highways construction
and maintenance and net Uncle
Sam a handsome profit. He cites
the success of such toll projects
as the Hollad Tunnel, the Phila-
delphia Camden Bridge, the
Bankhead Tunnel, and the Penn
sylvania Turnpike as proof OF
Profits. (The last Robinson de-
scribes as merely Semi-Super-
highway.
What's more, Robinson says
that even the persons who use
the highway would not be out
of pocket since the toll fees would
be more than saved in fuel, time,
expense. and depreciation. CThrcc
days from coast to coast in high
speed sleeper buses would be
regular Schcdulc).

REPORT PEACE
TALK in JAPAN
CLAIMED PEACE OFFER HAS
ALREADY BEEN MADE
TO GREAT BRITAIN
tBy Associated Press,


LONDON, July 16. - A
captured Japanese war cor
respondent in the Pacific
theatre said today that there
is a distinct peace movement
in Japan, and added that a
peace offer already has been
made to Great Britain, but
that report was not confirm
ed here.
He explained that the
peace movement began in
the Japanese diet last Feb
ruary, and that it has since
continued to grow in
strength. He expressed the
belief that Japan would sur
render now if it received as
surance from the United
States that troops of occupa-
ton would be small.
Many members of the diet,
he declared, have called on
the government to take mi,S
tary men out of politics. Were
that done, he concluded, he
thought that a basis for peace
could be reached.

Carrier-based planes also

Last week was by far the
worst Japan has suffered
since the United States enter
ed the war.
More airfields are being

when they are completed the

WAVE September IS In the Great
Falls section Of the county.
The jury deliberated only 10 min
utes before returning a verdict of
not guilty. Shackelford's mother,
Mrs. Martha Shackelford, Harlan
County, KY, who attended the trial,
smiled broadly, while his sister, Mrs.
Esther Adkins, also of Harlan
County. burst into tears.
The WAVE, stationed at Arlington
Farms, said she and two other
WAVES had been picked up by
Shackelford and two other youths
while they were waiting for a bus in
Rossiyn.
Drank Beer in Tavern.
After taking them to their bar
racks, she said, the youths drove the
three WAVES to a Wisconsin ave-
nue. restaurant, where they drank
beer. She testified they then drove
back to the barracks, where the
WAVES changed from the slacks
they were wearing into regular uni
forms and returned to the restau-
rant.
She said the youths drove around
Washington and nearby Maryland
after leaving the restaurant, ending
up at wooded spot just off Mac
Arthur boulevard, about Is miles
from Washington.
Two Of the WAVES left the car
with Shackelford and Allen Hughett,
18, both of 1926 Seventeenth street
NV, leaving her in the automobile
with the driver, John Bedre, 26, OF
1927 Eighteenth street NV, ac-
cording to the WAVE.
About 20 minutes later, she testi-
fled, Shackelford returned to the
car and ordered Bedre to leave.
She said Shackelford then attempt
ed to kiss her but that she pushed
him away.
HE got mad and told me you
know what I'm in here for and I'm
going to get it," she said.
He tried to attack me and Il
screamed. I kept trying to get
away. Finally, ! managed to get
the door of he car open and fell
out"
