 A corral for the sheep, brought along to supply food for the royal party, was built on the stern of the ship among the depth charges. About the decks the personal be- longings of the kings ministers, household and guards - thick rugs, great trunks and stores of fruit and rice = reflected the light of the night and day to prepare food and many charcoal fires that burned the thick Arabian coffee.
 It proved impossible for the ship to black out after sunset. An Ameri- can destroyer resembling nothing so much as an Arabian camp in the desert was a new experience even for that experienced brand of sea.' man, the destroyer sailor.

A Thought For Today
Western Leadership

We had few uuams about the superiority of Western civilization after reading speech by Charles A. Lndbegh delivered the i2nd anniversary o the Wright brothers first flight It should be noted that Mir. Lndbergh had some qualms too The burden of his message that there be world organization Gan interesting state itself from of the most vocal of prewar lsoa- tionists equipped with immediate overwhelming strength to cope with trouble n this of split seconds and split ting atoms.
 Mr. Lindbergh confessed dismay, shared by most of us that moral force has not kept pace with sclenthc advancement Our minds harassed, he sad by the damage already been done by the realization that Western has not justified his trust; that he has ms used his inheritance from the early pioneers Yet he ad yocated world organization led by Western peoples who developed modern science with its aviation and its atomic bomb"
 It is difficult to know how much importance to attach this specification of Western peoples rather than West nations Perhaps Mr. Lndbergh is less concerned with geographical boundaries than with geographical location ana racial origin At least recall magazine article he wrote some years back which gave that impression.
 The article appeared shortly before after the be- ginning of he in Europe. In it the author made the point effect that it suicidal for the Western nations Cor maybe peopes to be at each others troats when they should be uniting for the great coming showdown battle with the dark-skinned races of the East.
 There is no doubting the Vests leading role in history for time to and out of world organisation But neither it be denied that the advanced Western peoples have been responsible for most of the worlds maor wars since the Crusades.
 The Western peoples have developed modern science with it's aviation and it's bomb to be But is that their only claim undsputed leadership? If 1t isn't enough The West should not preemp world leader ship the extent of refusing the East at least prominent voice.
 It would be sad indeed if the notion of racial regional superiority recently put down Germany and Japan the Western material culture of all the Oriental naons) should to disturb the avowed equality o world or ganizaton united for peace.

the antagonism that has grown up after the war; just as it did after the first World War.
 He begins with, We came to Europe twice in 25 years to save the French" We didn't, of course We came to Europe" says Rosten because it was better to fight our enemy in Europe than in Amer ica Would it have been better to fight the Battle of the Bulge in Oho?"
 At first the French gave us everything wine, cheese fruit, everything But they've for gotten They're ungrateful." Answer-"Are the Amer jeans ungratefu? Have they soon forgotten how much we (the French) gave them from what little we had?"
 
 "Weve had more beefing from the French than the Germans. They criticize everything. But the Germans cooperative" Answer-"Yes, we quarrel with our allies. We fight enemies. The Germans have got to be cooperative. Which is better-a critical ally or a fawning enemy?"
 We gave the French billions of dollars worth of stuff. They'll never pay it back" Answer-"Under

Views of the Press

ulerly there will be a continuing shortage of soap and soap flakes comparable to that of few months ago, unless the public takes an act i've part in measures designed to improve the supply of industrial fats.
 What every householder should know in this connection is that col lection of used fats is still as im- portant as it ever was to insure an uninterrupted supply of the various soap products. The end of the war, the removal of food fats from ra- tioning and the consequent inval- idation of red points have probably been to blame for the letdown in cooperation by the public in saving fats. Yet even without the former incentive of helping win the war, to say nothing of the erstwhile red point bonus, 1t is obviously to the interest of every housewife who complains that she is unable to keep supplied with soap to do her part to alleviate the scarcity by turning in every drop of used fats.
 With the: meat supply gradually improving, these fats are beginning ito collect faster in every household, and they should be passed on to the butcher as promptly as possible. The supply of inedible fats and oils will remain seriously short for months to come, with consequent repercussions on our economy, but it can be prevented from reaching critical stage by public coopera- tion with the fats salvage program. A further drop in collections would quickly, aggravate the shortage.

UnificatiOn Scheme ByBi
By BiU Cunningham

Roberts report The idea was not original with him. Unification has been argued for years. But this article much said that the Pearl Harbor tragedy could have been and should have been avoided, if the proper organization had had overall charge, and that that organization unified command with supreme chief at the top.
 Whatever the rights and wrongs of the argu- ment 1t stood at that time, the current Chief Executive on record and he couldn't if he spoke at all say anything else
 Pearl Harbor wasn't the half of it, yet Pearl Harbor is where the blow was struck and so Pearl Harbor, up to here, is the celebre Pearl liar bor actually was only diversion masking the main attack which was straight against the Philippines and the agony of Bataan was the answer out that way
 The argument for and against, unified conn., mand will be public and resounding. The Navy is on the defensive and knows it. Admr. Kimmels guilt innocence is very small part of the whole mighty problem. The entire Navy psychology needs to be overhauled. The Annapolis mind needs to be opened and educated No criticism of the Navy afloat is in order from landsman, but the grounded de- partments of 1t can stand considerable enlghtening and humanizing.
 The debate on unification should cover two points. The first is complete efficiency. We haven't had it up to here The story of DDay belongs in the study That chanced to have been successful, in that we got ashore and kept going but it chances likewise to have been fouled up considerably.
 The second big study is economy. In this the Army and the Navy bought savagely and even foolshly against each other, leading to tremendous waste and unnecessary civilian shortages That par ticular part certainly could be improved There are other considerations, but those the big ones
 Unifcation would seem to be the better way for certainly the present system didn't prove itself the perfect way and second place is no good in a war. But the greater question is. "Is this the time to make the decsion?" Full information on the sort of atomic world we're to live in has yet to be ob taned
 These are all mighty questions that need to be explored carefully. The testimony to date has been practically silly All the generals say yes, all the admirals no. The Congressional wrangle will be just as pontess because most of the statesmen know more than civilians about the subject. The best brains in this nation wherever they are should bel put to vol this vital problem series of prob- lens, and they really should work

The President and Congress

One of the most popular in Congress Harry S. Truman before he upped to the Presidency During the first few months his position he remained popular with the Legislators Capitol Hill But Mr. Shakes peare wisely observed The of true love never did run smooth"
 The President has received many rebus from Congress domestic ssues Many of his appointments to high posi- tons in the Government regarded in Washington as poor seeconsbu Congress has not nterfered in the shufng of the Administrative branch of the Government It may be definitely said that Mr. Trumans methods for handling the labor strikes has lost him great deal of the
 valuable support that he had in Congress- Congress has taken the position that full employment and whole list of Presidential recommendations too to men ton have been very disappointing That to explain the existing approval and dsapprova in Congress of the Presidents programs.
 Perhaps all this upset in Washington may mean that there be sharp revision of membership of both the old political parties before another eection resulting in hundreds of thousands of Democrats becoming Republicans and hundreds of thousands of Republicans going into the same way. Mr. Truman may sometimes think of that famous observation of Grover Cleveland in his Mil waukee speech when he stopped suddenly and excamed s.Where am at!'

 We think the senator should be content. Everybody got plan for world salvation these days But how the Senate?

MEASURE IN ALL THINGS
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 President Truman has endeared himself to millions by his proof that he shares the universal Amer ican passion to get home for Christ mas dinner, come hell or high water. He has endeared himself to millions more by his temerarious contempt for the perils of the air, including sleet, slush. overcast and icing con- ditions, that grounded many com mercial transports on Christmas day. All the same, he is president of the United States, and he. gave many of his countrymen slightly nervous afternoon as they followed his plane through the fog banks and the high head winds encountered on the way to Missouri. Overdue in starting, overdue at St. Louis, be- hind the reported arrival time at the difficult field in Kansas City, his progress was certainly not fol- lowed without anxiety.
 The affair would have been slightly less alarming if the na- tion's second magistrate had not so recently demonstrated his own contempt for the hazards of bad flying weather. Secretary Byrnes spent bad hour or so getting into the, Moscow airport through snow and overcast, after Moscow had ad- vised him to turn back. This nation loves -mindedness, but it will probably feel that such an abund- ance of this gallant quality in both the president and his putative sue cessor can be too much of good thing. We do not know what Sec retary Vinson's travel habits. may be, but the president and MT. Byrnes have only themselves to blame If one takes a new interest in this subject or recalls, uneaslly, that there has been no decision, by congress upon the revision of the succession law. Nobody would wish to ground either the president or the secretary of state-air travel, indeed, has become a necessity of modern administration-but the country could well insist that nei- ther should overstep the strictest safety standards of normal con- mercial air operation. There Is a measure in all things. and while we all like and admire high off1- cials who do. not think that stheir own necks are the most important things in the world, the hard fact remains that those necks very often are. ~

NATURE HELPS THE BIRDS
(New Britain Herald)

The warmer air and the rain that came the other day, melting large amount of snow, was a good turn for the birds that don't or didn't fly south. For the deep snow that covered the ground in these parts made life harder for our hungry winged folk. The elimination of a portion of the snow, resulting in some hedges and hillocks being barred, yields new opportunities to the birds, even though the food to be secured as a result is far from normal requirements.
 Many people, in cities and in the country, make it point to feed their ,feathered friends during the winter months, especially when snow covers the ground. This is a laudable enterprise. Bear this in mind when the next heavy snowfall arrives. In this climate only the much disliked crows can look out for ., themselves throughout the gruelling winter months. The oth- CTS need your help.
 And by the way, birds need grit to complete their digestive process ses. A, handful, of sand near the food will be much appreciated by your guests.
