DETROIT-INS- Now that the
mystery Of a roaring noise accom-.
panied by vibrations has been
solved, residents OF Melvindale and
Dearborn can go back to sleep. Po-
lice traced the disturbance to the
subterranean laboratory at the
Ford River Rouge plant where
robot bomb engines are tested. At
mospheric conditions made the
noise more pronounced recently,
waking wondering residents.

from the war in much better con- dition than any of us imagine. Her people are far better fed and clothed than any in Europe today, not even excluding England. They are much healthier. There's little or no evidence of malnutrition. Their factories and plants are being restored with surprising ra- pidity because they are essential to the economy of the other na- tions. Already, the Ruhr Valley is operating at 30 per cent of ca pacity.
 Above air eise, il seems to me, it will be. necessary to give the Germans back their soul and their conscience. To do that we will have to resort to every device at our command. At times, we will have to be brutally harsh, but that is the only way we can bring them back into the civilized family.

HELICOPTER PROGRESS

Disclosure by the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics that flight tests have been under way and actual service operations conducted in this country on twin-rotor heicopter capable of carrying ten pas sengers and a two-man serves to emphasize the rapid progress which is being made in the field of rotory-winged aircraft. The new machines for the Navy, designed by F. N. Passch and designated ZHRP-l has rotors fore and aft driven by single Continental Wright engine rated at 450 horsepower which enclosed in the fuselage aft of the passenger cabin It is intended primarily for rescue work and for operation in rescted where the vertical take-of and landing characteristics of the hecoper make it possible to bring the advantages of flight to terrain where more conventional aircraft cannot be used It is reported that control is markedly improved in this interesting version of the helicopter design Important advances in controllaby and simplicity of operation are also understood to have been made in the Sikorsky hecopterthe first to show the startling potenalites of this type of machine in this country and in the Bell versions of the heicopter, of which commercial model under test.
 It has always seemed that number of important war roles lay open to aircraft which not only could descend on and ascend from fields not much larger the diameter of their rotors but could hover at will at any height from the ground. Considerable production has been made for the Army. The Coast Guard already has demonstrated the astonishing facilities of the helicoper for difficult work and the Navy itself is extending it's interest in this astonishing vehicle.

Turning American Territories Into States
(Los Angeles Ttmes)

Secretary of the Interior Ickes, who is said to be lon the way out" may be pardoned for seeking to take lions share of the credit for the policy of turning American Territories into States. That is the Ickes way.
 But his announcement of policy looking toward Statehood for Hawaii and Alaska can hardly be called novel After a American Territories have been transformed into States according to pretty we'll recognized procedure for long time now.
 It can be granted that MT Ickes is right in seek ing to arrange orderly process as possible for the creation of new States. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands do present special problems But 1t IS hardly to be conceded that he had added very much toward the solution of the vexatious details which always arise in connection with such Federal de pendencies.
 For many years-since long before MT. Ickes appeared upon the Washington scene in fact-the wheels have in motion for the eventual granting of Statehood to Territories meeting the traditional requirements. When that time comes the rest of the nation will welcome the States cordially just as their predecessors have been welcomed.
 But MT Ickes hardly expect particular lm- portance to attach to his part in the proceedings He has been but an incident. The American way goes along regardless of the officials who happen to have their little time upon the stage and no matter how they may seek to magnify their own transient importance.

Washington Post)

The last word-or is it?-in largesse has now been uttered by Senator Sheridan Downey. He has offered bill to give every veteran free trip abroad at Government expense of course with the privilege of taking along his family on haf-fare basis The arrangement could be made generous to be sure if the veterans allowed to take along friends as well as relatives if each of them could be furnished with his private yacht or Liberty ship. But we are sure that Senator Downey did not mean to be niggardly and that the proposal will be accepted by servicemen in the spirit in which it was intended
 It is the Senator's view that this sort Of travel would not only repay veterans to some extent for their sacrifices but would also encourage understand ing between peoples and stimulate international trade We are not International trade might be more effectively stimulated if veterans got into jobs and helped to produce of the stuff that Is to be traded Understanding between peoples might be benefited by some slight delay before another American invasion And the veteran themselves, hav- ing raversed most of the globe from Dusseldorf to Okinawa might like to settle down and get on with the real business of living in peacetime society. Whether it the heat or the humidity which gave rise to this legislative branstorm of Senator Downeys, it is good thing fancy, that the Senate has at last packed up and gotten out of our perncious climate

crime and it's extent.
 Our military leaders in Germany are trying to do this already by the distribution of booklets among Germans which show graphically what went on in the concentra- ton camps and elsewhere during the war
 With all due respect to these leaders, I believe the movies can do this more effectively. Once made fully aware of their guilt, the Germans, I believe, will begin to regain their moral values. Thereafter, films can be employed to point the way for them to a more decent approach to life.
 The fundamentals of justice, fair play, honor and mercy can be slowly re-established in Germany. Unless this is done, I am afraid for the future. We have won a military victory. It remains to be seen whether we can gain a moral ascendency.

They have become, it seems to me, a people without soul.
REV, NIEMOLLEE


 Two men whom I met in Ger many and talked to at length-two men of totally different antece- dents and outlook up for me the German frame of mind today. One was Pastor Martin Nie- moller, the famous U-boat com mander of World War I who de- fled the Nazis from his pulpit and spent eight dreadful years in a concentration camp. The other was Max Schmeling, for brief time the worlds heavyweight champion who is now a tavern keeper in Hamburg
 ran across Niemoller in Frank furt. He speaks excellent English. He had intended going with his wife to tea that afternoon but gave that up when he learned that we were in the city. As one of Germany's foremost anti-Nazis, we were naturally eager to talk to him. For his part, he was ob- viously just as eager to talk to us.
 We wasted little time in pre- liminaries. He had spent two years in solitary confinement after his arrest but when Germany plunged into war, he offered his ser"ic es and his life to the Nazis as a U-boat skipper. We explained that it was difficult for us to under stand this about-face. His answer was measured and solemn.
 T don't expect you to under stand. I expect few people to understand. It's difficult for any one to understand my state of mind unless they, too, have spent time in solitary confinement.
 T had two consciences. On one side I asked myself How can I support a state that is controlled by these horrible beasts? On the other: How can I turn down my country, my Germany"

ALWAYS A GERMAN

And yet, knowing this horror and having experienced it in his own person, this man would not have hesitated to kill for the Nazis. For, in answer to another question as to what would have been his con- duct had he been restored to active military service, he said bluntly:
 -T'o the best of my ability would have served Germany and fought as courageously as I could.
 Germany is guilty of permitting a monster like Hitler to come to power" he said, but our war guilt

MAX SCHMELING CURSES

I met Max Schmeling in Ham, burg He was immediately tailored and in excellent health. And he bore White Card issued by the military which apparently exempted him from the curfew and similar military regulations.
 He cursed Hitler and the Nazis ferociously and he told us, With seeming honesty, that he'd been induced to enlist in the para troopers by deceit.
 "They told me they wanted me to get in as paratrooper by way of making propaganda and stimu- lating enlistments in this branch, he said. They also said I was too old for this kind of action and they didn't intend to use me m battle. But shortly after I got in, found myself jumping over Crete. I broke my leg and hurt my back and that ended my service"
 He, too, like the others I spoke to in Germany, seemed unconscious of the horrors perpetrated by his country on the rest off Europe. Tt was Hitler's fault-Hitler and his 1 Nazis." They seemed to feel they were altogether blameless, living in world apart.

GOLD FILINGS OF DEAD

In the light of what we saw on every hand, the visible and concrete evidence of bestiality such as the world had never known, the atti- tude of the average German seemed monstrous. We saw the notorious concentration camp at Dachau and we saw many of the others. It was like descending into a pit of inconceivable horror. There were the torture chambers and suffocation rooms. There were the great yawning furnaces. each bearing neat sign in German giving it's capacity of human bodies and working hours. There were the dog kennels and the execution blocks.
 Perhaps the grisliest sight of all was long row of huge boxes each piled to the top with gold filings taken from the mouths of un- counted victims who met death at the hands Of the Nazis. On each box was official stamp of the Reichsbank
