The w ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tLt Col Robert g. Allen now on sctiv
 service with the Army,

SAN FRANCISCO-On October g, 1884, bomb thrown ill the streets of Marseilles killed King Alexander of Jugoslavia and changed the fate of the world. The Jugoslavs blamed the French for not protecting their king, and swerved away from their traditional alliance with France into the German orbit.
 The bomb was thrown by Cro- ation fanatic carefully trained in a special German sabotage school. It's representations started a new European alignment and helped the beginning of an other war.
 Today, in San Francisco, security precautions are so shockingly loose that the same thing might easily happen. Foreign delegates have complained about them, but noth- ing has been done Meanwhile, the ease with which an outsider can get into the conference unidenti- fled would be laughable if it weren't potentially tragic.
 On one day while 46 top dele gates, including the foremost min isters of the world, were sitting in secret session at the Veterans Building, two newspapermen plus two University of Southern Cali fornia co-eds made test of get ting into the building without cre- dentials, carrying four typewriters. The four typewriters could have contained 50 pounds of TINT each, totaling 200 pounds.
 
 TWICE UNCHALLENGED
 The two men and two girls drove in a taxi, not conference car, through police lines without being stopped, and walked into the Vet erans' Building without showing credentials. They walked the entire

Out When She Died

THREE sober-faced people
"a parSon, a sexton and
a nurse-Stood silently by
while a small black coffin
was lowered into a grave
in the churchyard at Weare.
They were saying good-by
to "the kindest woman In
England"-and carrying out
her dying wish.
All her life Miss Eliza
beth Fownes-Luttrell had
been wealthy, charitable
and modest about her good
deeds. And when, at the age
of sc, she knew her time had
come, she called her nurse
and dictated just what was
TO be done when she died.
Funerals" she said, "are
sad occasions. / wish my
solicitor TO see that am in
my grave before any public
announcement of my pass
ing is made. Then | shall
save my friends a little sad
ness at a time when they
have trouble enough"
Her orders were carried
out, but hundreds of mourn.
ers flocked TO her grave the
next day. They couldn't for
get her lifetime of service to
others.
~ Her mother had presented
the town with a church and
parsonage, worth $4,000.
and she, herself, had given
away most of her SiZable in
come for the good of her
neighbors. A few years be.
fore she died she was
awarded the Order of the
British Empire for her gen
erouS donations and hard
work for the Red Cross. She
was grateful for this honor,
but she Stunned publicity
and never wore the beauti-
full decoration.
The day she died she told
her nurse: II shall rest more
comfortably If | know that
my funeral doesn't add 10
the heavy burdens my good
friends have TO carry in
these days Of war;"

holds that tremendous armament and fire power are to be preferred to speed most of the opponents of that theory have been won over to the modern design
 Of course improvement in ordnance has made it possible to carry much greater fire power with much less tonnage than was true few years ago. Thus a 1914 destroyer can hurl proectes which light cruiser could hardly have handled generation or so ago. An antiaircraft fire be directed with almost as much accuracy from the smaller ships as from the heavier with new aiming and firing mechanisms.
 The U. s. Navy boasts a total of 800 vessels of all combatant, supply and auxiliary. It is far than the two-ocean Navy projected by Franklin D. Roosevelt It is force powerful enough to operate more efficiently than any other nation in all the earth's oceans simultaneously.
