Helps Hubby Who
Lost Four Limbs
Says She Finds Problem of
Aiding Soldier Simple.

BATTLE CREEK. - Soldiers at
Percy Jones hospital have become
accustomed to seeing pretty dark
haired girl with quick smile and a
southern accent, sitting in the cor
ridor of their ward.
When she isn't there, they know
she is in the room with her husband,
M/Sgt. Frederic Hensel, the first
soldier to lose parts of all four
limbs in battle in this war.
She is Jewell Hensel, attractive
girl from the Kentucky hill country.
The soldiers know what she didn' t.
that Sergeant Hensel will get well
faster because of her and that there
are women who, because they can't
take it, aren't much if any help to
their wounded husbands.
II didn't know there were wives
like that" she commented with hon.
est surprise. Then she added, rather
Indignantly for her, Il don't see
why there should be. They are the
same men who went away. Inside
they haven't changed a bit.
''You marry for better or worse,
don't your" she asked, land when
you have trouble you have it togeth-
err"
Tall and slender, Mrs. Hensel has
long, wavy brown hair, big brown
eyes and high cheekbones, which
probably come from her Cherokee
Indian ancestors a few generations
back.
Both the Hensels grew up on Ken
lucky farms-the sergeant, an or
phan, lived with relatives in his
youth. Eight years ago he joined the
army, and five years later returned
to Corbin, KY, to marry Jewell
Carly.
1t was on June 2, after he had
been overseas since March, 1914,
that Hensel stepped on an anti-tank
mine on Okinawa. The explosion
blew off both legs, his left arm
above the elbow and injured his
right forearm so that it, too, had to
be amputated.
To her the problem of helping her
husband is very simple - she acts
the way she feels. But first off, she
doesn't think about herself.

The FBI exkecls the veterans TO
be major influence on the GRIM
inal tendencies of the teen-agers.
If the big brothers and fathers
coming back settle down into jobs or
go back to school. they can show
the younger boys and girls how to be
good citizens. The youngsters look
up to these men as heroes-they can
be strong influence on Them"
But the responsibility for leading
the teen-agers Alright does not rest
solely on the veterans-nor alone
on the agencies of law enforcement.
''The question Of crime among QUE
youth cannot be pawned off on few
juvenile courts, overburdened juve-
nile bureaus, and the local police"
Director Hoover declared. These
agencies can help materially, but the
big job is getting every parent, bust
ness man, school teacher, salesman,
farmer, mechanic, housewife, and
every other forward-looking citizen
to knuckle down to the two-fsted
realization that this is their job and
it is up to. them to do something
about it,"
But no matter what is done to try
to meet crime situation that now
has potentially for great evil in
this country, there is one thing
which Hoover believes will deter
mine in the long run whether it will
be law or lawlessness from here on.
Whether or not we have a post
war crime wave will depend in the
last analysis on how we as a nation
convert to a peacetime basis" Di-
rector Hoover announced emphati-
cally. "you can't divorce econom-
les from crime Although it is true
that having money does not neces-
sarily prevent a person from COM
hitting crime, not having money
is definite cause Of it. When peo-
pie are out OF work. there is a great
err chance for them to get into trou-
BILE than when they are employed"
If the Republicans don't look out.
this guy Truman is going to pick up
some votes right out from under
their noses, he's so darned human"
political wiseacre whispered to me
at the Press Club party for Byron
Price.
We were watching the President
mingle with the guests, obviously
enjoying himself.
Just then a colleague of mine on
the weekly press came up. His face
was wreathed in smiles.
Guess what" he exclaimed. 81
just said to the President I'm from
Kansas City and what do you think
he said? That's a suburb of a GER
tain city. isn't it?'"
And my friend, who has been a
Republican since he can remember
and especially so in the last IL
years, is beginning to think that
this guy Truman" is all right.
When the party was breaking up
the President was heard to observe
with a broad Missouri grin that he
was having as good time as he
did when he was at the Press Club
last. That time he was still vice
president and his picture was taken
playing the piano with movie star
Lauren Bacall perched atop it.

Airline Fares Come Down

AIRLINES are beginning to offer
transportation at rates cheaper
than the railroads now carry pas
sengers on first-class tickets and
Pullman berths. Reducer fares
for aircraft passengers, put into
effect in the Northeast by one line,
were promptly met by other COM
panies.
The airlines report that mail
and express have increased but
that passenger business is already
by far the largest part of their
revenue. The new passenger rates
are expected to attract travellers
who will go faster and cheaper by
air.
The railroads OF the country, 1t
is presumed, will make some re-
adjustments of fares to meet aer-
ial competition. This is impera-
tive unless the railroads can offer
conveniences and comforts that
they will not find in the air.

Liberalism


Back in Americas colonial days
before the Revolutionary war when
everybody was underprivileget,
there were only three freedoms.
Everybody had a right to work
hard, save as much as he could Of
his earnings and use his head as
proftably as possible in business. If
you have a taste for long words you
might call the three freedoms in
dustry, frugality and ingenuity.
Politics in those days were all fun
Of rich-man VS.. poor-man problems,
same as now. They were, to be
sure, better decorated with pretty
English but the issues were about
the same: What will we have 10
work with? II we do well, how
much can we keep. and how mucn
will be taken by the government?
Government in those days was the
English king, of course.

Jap Trick Shown Up by
Yank Who Knows Babies

WITH THE MARINES.-An alert
marine sentry who knew there was
right way and a wrong way to
carry baby, was responsible for
capturing a Jap soldier attempting
to infltrate through our lines on
Okinawa.
Warned to be, on the Lookout for
Jap troops posing as civilians, the
sentry became suspicious when he
noticed how awkwardly an infant
was being carried by its mother. i"
When he halted the mother. he
discovered that "she" was a Jan
soldier trying to slip through the ma.
rine lines.
The Japs have been going 10
elaborate lengths to masquerade as
civilians, but the use of an innocent
baby as an aid to the disguise is
the newest device, according to the
report Of S/Sgt. Ray Fitzpatrick. a
USMC combat correspondent.

Washington, d. c. a
Will there be a postwar crime
wave in the United States?
That question was put to the man
who will have to deal with it if there
is one-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoo
yer. He threw the answer back on
me-and on a lot of other people in
these United States. Here it is:
Whether we have postwar crime
wave in the United States depends
on how well we as a nation can re-
convert. If we do have period of
lawlessness, 1t win in all probable
ity be led by teen-agers. The re-
turning veteran has it in his power
to make or break such a crime
wave.
That's not beating around the
bush. Let's look at the facts. dis
turbing though they may be, as the
FBI director laid them before me.
After the last war, he said, there

the United States has never been
entirely free since. When the gang
ster era of the EOS and 3Os was final
ly broken up there was some de-
cline in criminal tendencies. Never
theless, just before World War II
began in Europe crime was still
very much with us--in fact, the
United States had II times more
cases of murder and manslaughter
than England and Wales.
With our entry into the war,
crimes increased, the emphasis on
type changing from crimes against
property to crimes against the per-
son-murder, assault. rape and the
like. On w Day major crime
was being committed every % Sec
onds in the United States. One per-
son in every % in this country had
been arrested at some time or other.

Do Flies Carry Polio?

Z ERTAlN species of flies includ-
ing the common house fly carry
polio virus and they can contami-
nate food" declares DR.. L. P. Geb-
hart, of the University of Utah,
who has studied the disease for
sixteen years.
The doctor points out that
"most new cases appear during the
fruit harvest season and at times
and places where flies are plenti-
full" He says that all of 251 Utah
victims of the disease, whom he
interviewed, admitted eating fresh,
unpeeled, unwashed fruits or vege-
tables shortly before contracting
the disease.
The doctors rules for preventing
polio include elimination of the
breeding places of flies, killing
flies, teaching children to eat only
what their mothers give them,
washing fresh foods with soap and
waer and keeping children's hands
clean when eating.
In the opinion of this doctor
polio is not as bad as measles
or whooping cough, both of which
cause larger number of deaths,
on a percentage and total basis.
He says he would be more alarmed
if his son caught either disease
than eff he should get POLIO"
