ASKS FOR RETURN OF TIRE
AND WHEEL FROM
HIS CAR

F. c. Hillman, well known cit
izen of Clintwood, says that some
thief relieved him of a wheel,
tire and tube from his car one
night this week and that SO far
he has found no trace of the
stolen property.
Due to scarcity of car wheels,
tires and tubes, he will be un-
able for some time to replace
either. He says ruefully, "They
had just about as we'll have TAX
en- the car and been done with
it." And he hopes they will re-
turn same when done with them.

Latin Wolf
 Code Giver,
By ALLAN STEWART


 f CARACAS, Venezuela = Venezue- Ian drug store cowboys have adopt cd tEe American two-tone whistle of admiration with disasterous effects.
 In police roundup recently more than 100 whistlers were thrown in i jail
 The young ladies of Caracas, and very attractive they are, do not like this form of adulation. Instead of the birdcall which starts on E and slurs down to A, the girls prefer the time -honored custom of receiving murmured compliments as they pass i e gallant.
 In Venezuela as in most Latin countries these passing remarks achieve descriptive artistry worthy of poet, depending, of course, on the subject treated.
 Here are some of the more inspir- cd protestations of admiration ob- ! tained from a limited number of Venezuelan Don Juans:
 "Me tieneS el corason como Sdpo ? sGdc DOT carreta." You have brok- en my heart like frog run over by cart
 Vixen luscious beauty passes by:
 "Que mango tan sabroSo," What a luscious mango!"
 When hip-switcher undulates down the street:
 "Ccmo SC Hlenea el mundc, ? no SC cuew How the world quivers and still doesn't fall"
 Another general expression:
 "Esta csc la clase de mcdicina que mc receto q medico." That's the kind of medicine the doctor prescrib- ed for me-
 There are less inspired remarks, such as:
 Dies te gRardc, heTmosa." May God watch over you, beautiful" In the southern South American countries the young mon not content with a flowery verbal tribute, will scmotimes add a discreet pinch for l gCcd measure, but the new American salute, picked up from the movies, apparently is doomed to failure.
 Ninety-nine of the 100 men ar rested for whistling at girls were teld over night and released with warning The hundredth, an un- fortunate gentleman who had been married only four days, was releas- ed immediately The police figured he'd get his punishment when he got home.

old Soldiers Axain

To the Editor Of The Star:
The criticism which recently has been
leveled at the Army by ranking mem
bers of both the Senate and House
Military Affairs Committees Is well
taken ut this time.
Every soldier in the Army knows from
personal experience that the waste of
manpower Is tremendous. Work must
be manufactured In order to keep troops
occupied. insignificant and stupid
tasks are assigned to men who formerly
held responsible positions.
While this sort of economic waste may
not be too serious to the individual SOL
dier OF 20 or thereabouts, it does con-
stitute a serious threat to the mental
health and the future earning capacity
OF the older man in the Army. There
are thousands Of men IS and over who
formerly held responsible positions in
industry and in the professions who
presently are held in semislavery by the
Army. They see their wives and families
neglected and their own opportunities
for future security slipping away while

minor clerical work which should be as
signed to civilian employees.
In view of the present status OF the
war. these older soldiers. who are of no
use as combat material, can be spared
from the Army. They, together with
the limited-duty men. should be released
at once, instead of being forced to COM
pete with the younger men when general
rehabilitation starts. If the Army point
system is carried out to its conclusion,
these old men win be the last to go back
to civilian status. I dent believe that
the Army is justified in retaining these
old men as form Of slave labor at the
expense of their families and futures.
Congress should act now to correct
the Armys injustices.

maintaining peace? 1t would be bold
aggressor that insisted upon making
war under such conditions. But again,
conditions might vitally change If all
nations, or a large number of them,
were to be in a position to make and
use similar bombs
The argument over how large the
forces of the United States the Presi-
dent and the American delegate on the
Security Council could vote into action
to keep the peace becomes academic If
the atomic bomb Is to be included in
the United States quota of armed forces
allocated to the council. Any such
ALLEGATION would put into the proposed
world police force" the power to deal
1t is true that, under the Charter
terms, any one Of the i've permanent
members Of the council has authority
to veto the use of force. But the i'm
pulse toward unanimity of the great
powers may be greatly increased by the
impact of this new weapon.
4 Il
The discovery of the atomic bomb and
its use by this country and Britain may
test to the utmost the strength of the
United Nations and the good faith of
the great powers about which the Or
ganization is especially constructed. The
Security Council Is to be provided with
military staff committee, consisting
of the chiefs of staff of the five per-
manent members or their representa-
tives. The military staff committee is
to advise the Security Council on plans
for the application of force and on all
questions relating to the councils mill
tary requirements, the employment of
forces, the regulation of armaments
and possible disarmament"
How much is this military staff COM
mittee to know about the atomic bomb,
about its manufacture and its handling?
If it could be agreed in the future by
all nations capable OF perfecting and
producing these bombs that the Sc
curity council and its military staff
committee alone should have charge of
production and use OF such bombs, the
policing of the world might become a
much more simple matter. That might
be solution-but at present it seems
far OF.
The atomic bomb, however, must of
necessity give greater emphasis to the
United Nations machinery for pacific
settlements machinery which should
be constantly perfected and used.

struggle with the Russian Far Eastern
armies.
While the Russian armies in the Far
East are dependent on the Trans-Sibe-
rian and the new Baikal-Amur Rail-
ways over stretch of 5000 miles from
Leningrad to Vladivostok, it is, In fact.
only 2,700 miles from Sverdlovsk, in the
Ural industrial region, to Chita near
the northwestern corner of Manchuria.
The shift to the eastward of the center
OF gravity OF the Russian industrial sys-
tenn, forced by the German invasion,
will be boon to the Russian armies
lighting Japan. And the japanese
armies in Manchuria are cut on from
their homeland, from the main source
OF industrial support available to them.
This latter fact Is in part due to the
presence in the Sea of Japan of strong
Russian naval force, based on the port
OF Vladivostok.
X Il
AS to air attacks ON Japan, the Rus
slams do not themselves have a large
strategic air force; their air power is
short-range and largely tactical in its
application, though Russian medium
bomberS could reach Hokkaido and could
also reach, of course, the japanese por-
ton of Sakhalin, which is, incidentally,
one OF Japan's most important remain-
ing sources of oil. But the Manchurian
industries are within Russian air-reach,
and it is, Of course, quite possible that
the Russians may permit American
bombers to use Russian bases, though
the problems Of supply involved are
formidable.
Without attempting to assess at this
time the political effects of the Russian
entry into the Far Eastern arena or the
political motives which may have under
lain that decision, 1t IS certainly plain
that as military move this Russian
act closes the. last gate Of hope to the
japanese.

Tito's New YugosIovio

With his usual forthrightness,
Tito, who fuses the titles of marshal
and Premier to indicate his COM
bined headship of the military and
civil authority, has set forth his pro-
gram for the reconstructed Yugoslav
state that he has in mind. In a fiery
grafton, delivered before the as
sembled delegates of his National
Liberation Front which today mo-
nopolizes political power. he sum-
married the legislation slated for
immediate submission to the Avnoi
or National Assembly established by
the provisional government.
The first item in this ambitious
agenda will be an act debarring the
return of King Peter and abolishing
the monarchy, which Tito terms
incompatible with democracy in
Yugoslavia; an outmoded, tyran-
nical institution rejected by the vast
majority of the people" Not only
King Peter but all "reactionary
emigres" will be barred from the
country. which is to have q liberal
republican regime" Tito indicated
that this regime would be directed
and controlled by the left-wing po-
litical parties forming the National
Liberation Front, thus implying that
a genuine opposition in the tradi-
tional parliamentary sense would not
be permitted to develop. Indeed,
Tito went out of his way to criticize
severely "some western types of
democracy" Under them, he as
serted, "reactionaries and Fascists"
enjoy an opportunity to flourish and
undermine democratic institutions.
Moreover. he added. these types OF
democracy are mere illusion; they
have free universal suffrage, but
lack social content"
Tito then went on to outline the
program Of internal reforms" which
he and his party intend to put into
effect. Their sweepingly revolu-
tionary character is self-evident.
Banks, factories and all landed es-
tates are to be nationalized. while
the power of the churches is to
be drastically curtailed. especially
through the confiscation OF their
property. including not only lands
but buildings, some OF which have
already been taken over. Both the

that negotiations are proceeding di-
rectly between Russia and China re-
garding certain matters interesting
Chungking and Moscow. 1t Is assumed
by some qualified observers that some
aspects of future Chinese Russian rela-
tions had been discussed by the Big
Three at Potsdam and that Premier
Soong Is now settling the details OF
these agreements with Generalissim0
Stain and his stan.
A general attack by the Russian forces
north Of the Amur River must be ex-
pected In . short time. The strength
OF the Red Army in Siberia Is well
known in Washington, but for the time
being military consideration forbids its
publication. 1t can be said, however,
that the Russian concentrations In Asia
started before the final defeat of the
Germans. Some Red Army divisions
which had been rushed to the front
in the critical years 1912 and 1913 were
sent back with their full equipment last
year. Divisions normally stationed west
OF the Ural Mountains were ordered
across the mountain ranges which divide
European from Asiatic Russia soon
after the fall Of Berlin.
AhEoC ulVAoAO1lS GAdVCACd lA6ht, olANC
the necessary heavy equipment was
being rushed from the United States
to Vladivostok and other Siberian
ports. The strength of the Japanese
Army south of the Amur River Is esti-
mated at some 500 900 well-trained and
adequately equipped men. The bulk of
this force is composed of the famous
Kwantung Army-the best and the most
politically minded units in the japanese
Empire. There is no question that the
Japanese high command has been aware
for some time of the intentions of the
Russians and that while Tokyo was
doing its utmost to gain time and con-
vince the Russian government that it
would be to their mutual advantage to
remain at peace, the commanders in the
field were preparing themselves to meet
the shock of attack.
Unless the Red Army is capable OF
"blitzing" the Japanese, they have a
chance to prolong their resistance in
that theater Of war until some time in
the late spring. But most American
military and political observers are con-
vinced that the effect of the new atomic
bomb, together with the disastrous effect
of Russia's declaration of war, will COM
pei the japanese to surrender by accept
ing the unconditional terms of the
Allies.
