There is an entertaining map, on sale in book stores, of the New Englander's idea of the U.S.A. On it, Boston, of course, stretches as far as the Connecticut River, Massachusetts as far as the Hud- son, New York as far as the Mississippi, and from there to the state of Hollywood, of which Cali fornia is but county, is the Far West. Don't laugh, you Westerners and Southerners-what do you know about New England, and more particularly about Connec- ticut :? w .5
 Do you know that Connecticut covers an area of 5,O09 square miles, and has a population of 1,709,242? Do you know that those miles and miles of cotton netting spread along it's countryside cover it's principal crop-tobacco? And for the record, it's shade-grown tobacco, the nations highest priced cigar leaf.
 Locally you are in the oldest sec tion of Connecticut. The town of Windsor, six miles south, was set tied in 1886 by group of the original Plymouth colonists. Ware house Point, the little village just across the river from "the Locks, was named for the warehouse erected there in 1636 for the trans fer of freight around the Enfield Rapids. Six miles of portage around the rapids. were eliminated in 1929 when the canal and locks were built. And do the locks from which Windsor Locks gets it's name, still function? They do. Present use of the canal is con- fined mostly to pleasure craft, though in early days fiat boats con- taining cargoes transferred from sailing vessels docked in Hartford made up the canal traffic. The gates of the locks are pushed open and closed by two men grown old in service, using great pole as lever.
 And what is the Charter Oak whose name you see advertising all sorts of commodities The his tory of this great tree is indeed A liberal charter grant ed by King Charles II in 1862 made the Hartford colony independent, so much so that Sir Edmund Andros, Governor of all the New England Colonies, endeavored to- induce Connecticut to relinquish it. When he came to Hartford to de- mand the charter it was brought forth, but suddenly the lights were extinguished and when the candles were relighted the charter had A simple case of Yankee was secreted in the hollow of an old oak tree, which thereafter was known as the Char ter Oak.

vANDENBERG'S POSTWAR
TREATY REVIEW PLAN

United Nations envoys entrusted with
writing a world peace charter would do
we'll to give careful consideration to the
proposal presented by Senator Vanden-
berg. Nor should the fact that such con-
slceration stand to stir bitter fight ut
the San Francisco conference deter them
for moment. That is the place to fight
such things OUT and it should make no
difference which power takes exception
to the plan.
Briefly, the senator, has turned de-
cdedly from his former isolationism
views, proposes that the World Security
Council shall be empowered to review
postwar treaties and wartime political
decisions" 1t also would permit the
council" to recommend adjustments
when it discovered injustices to the peo-
pie involved"
Manifestly the proposal has the small
er nations in mind. Perhaps Poland,
specifically. At any rate his pronounce
ment some time ago on the senate floor
brought severe censure from communis-
tic sources and it is no secret Russia will
oppose the move at the UNCIO parley.
The plan has the unanimous indorse-
ment of the American delegates at the
Conference

MOlOTOV'S ROLE
AT SAN FRANCISCO
CLOS Angeles Timas)


Before yielding to passionate resent
ment over the objections raised by For
eign Commissar Molotov to the organiza-
tional procedure of the San Francisco
conference which now has been settled
by compromise, we should weigh careful
ly Molotov's pronouncements at his press
conference and before the second plen-
airy session of the conference.
The declarations he voiced with re-
spect to world peace and Russa's desire
to participate in an organization to pro-
tect that peace are similar to the Senti-
ments proclaimed by the leaders of the
other United Nations Assuring the con-
ference that his country is devoted to the
cause of setting up such an organization,
he added:
Il wish you to know that the Soviet
Union can be relied upon to protect the
peace. Our peaceful people, the Red
Army and our great Marshal Stain are
inflexibly supporting this great cause
Although he naturally stressed the
brunt of the battles to defeat the Nazis
which has been borne by his people, he
gave credit and praise to the aid and the
war efforts of the United States and
Great Britain.
At his press conference he made it
plain that Russia will not oppose amend
ments to the Dumbarton Oaks plan.
While declaring that the question Of the
formation of the Polish government un-
der the Crimea formula is not matter
before the conference, Molotov indicated
that the differences could and would be
resolved.
His words and attitude are hardly to
be taken as those of man intent on OBJ
structing the main objectives of the con-
ference. Russia does occupy a hot-spot
position in the shadow of Europe's peren-
nial war volcano and Russia has had her
reasons to be skepticai of the democra-
cies in the past.
If there is to be an effective world
peace organization, Russia and the other
leading United Nations must cooperate
and minor differences must give way to
the larger objectives. There must be a
spirit of give and take; there must be
faith. Obviously to be effective, this
spirit and faith cannot be one-sided Rus
sia, too, has an equal responsibility t.
endeavor to reconcile the viewpoint and
the interests of other United Nations
with her own. 1t is time for all the
peace-loving nations to demonstrate to
the world that they stand ready to give
more than mere lip service to their dec
larationS.

REMOTE CONTROL FLYING
AND PERIL TO PUBLIC

There is ample reason to complain
against military authorities for launch
ing pilotless planes anywhere near city
or any congested populous area. few
days ago such plane ambled all around
Los Angeles and ended up by striking a
large building The plane caught fire
and was destroyed By mere chance no
one was injured or killed.
There is no quarrel with experiment
ing with plotting planes by remote con-
troll or robots or any other scientific de-
vice. But it is criminal to permit such
experiments within the boundaries of
city or even smaller group of resi-
dences. So happens there is plenty of
desert lands where it should be possible
to conduct these experiments.
The incident brings to notice that here
might be any number of planes in flight
under remote control. The authorities
were forced to admit it in the coast case
Along this line, it might be added that
there is entirely too much slow flying"
near all air bases, El Centro included
Probably the planes making repeated
night flights here are at the legal
height, but what is the purpose of cir
cling about the city at all hours of the
night when it is the natural bent of peo-
pie to sleep? A plane makes plenty noise
even when 500 or 1000 feet altitude

CROOKS PLY TRADE ON KIN
OF DEAD SERVICEMEN

Not all the war criminals are in Eur
ope. Recently the war department is
sued a stern warning to all families of
all servicemen who have lost their lives
in battle. This warning set out that there
ale many victims of an organized band Of
crooks who prey upon the grief of their
victims.
These schemers use various methods Of
approach, the war department sets out.
One of the most common and therefore
probably the most remunerative is when
the crooks ascertain the names and ad-
dresses of parents or other kin through
published casualty lists and then make
their personal contacts, setting out that
the deceased soldier is to be given a par
ticular niche in a. so-called Hall of
Fame" The credulous relative is in
duced to advance sizeable amount of
cash. This accomplished, the crook dis
appears.
Since it seems impossible to live in
world without such despicable people,
the warning from the war department
should be followed implicitly.

There is one very small marine who
is as nice as he can be, always smil-
ing and make some crack. But the
boys say that in battle he doesn't
give a damn for anything.
The first afternoon I joined his
company he didn't know who I was
and as we passed, he said very res
pectfully, Good evening, Colonel
had to chuckle to myself. Later
he mentioned it and we laughed
about it and then he started calling
me Ernie.
He was Corp. Charles Bradshaw
of 1926 S. Holmes Ave. Indianap-
oils. He is only 19 but in his third
campaign in the Pacific He's had
three pieces of Shrapnel in him at
various times and months later they
would work out through the skin.
Another one is just about to come
out his finger now.
is called Brady" for short. Before
joining the Marines he worked on a
section gang for the Pennsylvania
railroad. He usually wears one of
those wide -brimmed green cloth hats
instead of the regulation marine
cap.
He always carries a As and it
has a slightly curved 25-cent piece
imbedded in the handle. AS he says,
ITO make it worth something"
Brady found two huge photograph
albums in a cave. The albums are
full of snapshots of japanese girls
and Chinese girls and young Jps
in uniform and of family poses. He
treasured it as though it were full
of people he knew. He studied it for
hours and hopes to take it home
with him. anything for souvenir =

Another Indianapolis marine l met
on Okinawa was Pfc. Dallas Rhude
of 1f37 Z. Raymond ST. who used
to be neWspaperman himself.
In fact he worked on our paper
there, the Indianapolis Times. He
started carrying the Times when he
was eight, then got into the editor
room as a copy boy and kept that
job until he joined the marines.
He is a replacement, in other
words he is in the pool that fills
up the gaps made by casualties. But
since there have been very few
casualties he hasn't replaced any
body yet.
Dallas spent % months in Panama,
was home for o little while and now
has been over here for four months.
He says this OkinaWa climate sure
beats Panama.

FOR MANY YEARS aspirin has been
accepted by both the medical profession
and the public as safe, sure way to
relieve pain.
But many people who had complete
confidence in aspirin did not find it gave
as quick relief from binding, maddening
pain as they hoped for. Hence in desper-
alton they sometimes turned to other
remedies less well proved.
To meet shIs sIfuosion s group of
medical research men set out to see what
could be done to speed up the analgesic
or "pain.killing" action of aspirin--to
make it bring their patients quicker re-
lief, without heart or stomach upset.
