tails Of protocol-thanks to the
1 u. S. State Department. This is
considered something of hand
leap for such seasoned conven-
ton snatchers as Chicago and
Philadelphia.
In this campaign there is no
buttonholing of delegates, no
lavish cocktail parties, no en-
tertainment, no big money in
ducements.
By far the most pretentious
presentation comes from Ha-
waii, whose invitation to TIE
UNO was in the form of So
pound book extolling the virtues
of what Mark Twain once de-
scribed as 1.-The loveliest fleet OF
islands that lie anchored in any
ocean,
Hawaii believes 1t Is uniquely
appropriate because it is the
home of Pearl Harbor, whose
surprise bombing carried our
country into World War II and
overnight brought unity to the
American people.
TRADITION OF TOLERANCE
No community in the world. it
says, has a richer tradition of
racial tolerance. 1t points to
up-to- date travel and communi-
cations facilities and metropol-
tan advantages in tranquil and
peaceful setting. 1t is global-
minded.
Philadelphia, the "city Of
Brotherly Love-" believes the
UNO should accept its invitation
because it is the cradle OF IL
berty." 1t boasts also OF Its
closer proximity to London and
Moscow and Washington-capi-
tai cities of key UNO members.
Sault Ste. Marie, once the
home of the legendary peace
maker, Hiawatha, has offered
Sugar Island itself bee a m e
u. S. possession through arbi-
low the 800" locks. The island
is between the Ontario and Mich
igan cities of Sault Ste. Marie.
WOULD SET EXAMPLE
Mayors of the twin cities
point out that in 130 years OF
peace Canada and the United
States, with 1000 miles of unde-
Tended border. have learned TO
settle their differences amicably.
Sugar Island itself itself became
a u. S. possessio nthrough arbi.
tration with Great Britain more
than 100 years ago. The 800"
locks handle commerce on an
international scale-up to 1OO,-
100000 tons annually.
Detroit, the arsenal Of Amer.
lea during the war, would like
the UNO headquarters, too, as
an active monument of the
neighborliness b W. e n the
United States and Canada.
The Black Hills offer a peace
full setting and an elaborate plan
of buildings to house UNO dele
gates. According to sponsors.
the park-like valleys of the
Black Hills could be utilized for
exclusive villages in which mem
Der nations could establish resi-
dences for their UNO personnel
and families.

one of the ladies who managed TO
scuff up a sizable fortune with the

trusty pen and that's one of the rea-
sons why she was away from home
recently when a burglar dropped in.
The other reason was her tall
blond husband, Lieut. Robert John
Herwig of the 4th Marines, who was
on leave after long absence over
seas, but the burglar didn't know
about that Or care. What the rob

She was trifle embarrassed when
