NORWAY AND DENMARK NEXT?

(Christian Science Monitor)
Assurances that liberation will come
soon to Norway and Denmark were given
this week on the anniversary of the in
Vasion of those countries. The war on
the Western Front has temporarily eclip-
sed the northern regions, whose people
wait patiently, though not passlVely,
for liberation. But the world can never
forget the freemen who remained uncon-
querable throughout five years of oc-
cupation by would-be conquerors.
The record is ineradicabe. In Nor
way, inspired by the heroic stand OF the
clergy, resistance grew as Nazi repressive
measures increased. Despite the arrest
of thousands of editors and workers, the
underground press continued to function.
Extensive sabotage, conducted mainly
through Slowdowns, lately has turned to
wrecking of railroad facilities and fac
tories.
Wien 80 per cent of Norways mer-
chant marine escaped from the Nazls,
her ships and sailors were placed in the
service of the United Nations, and car
ried food for the Allies while her own
countrymen often went hungry. On D.
Day, one ship in every ten steamlng for
France carried the flag of Norway. Nor
wegian troops, air force, and parachut-
lists are helping to free tne.r homeland,
and the government-in-exile paid its way
throughout.
In Denmark, the same unconquerable
spirit has prevailed. Resisting alike both
"persuasion' and persecution, the Danes
have carried out sabotage operations,
from the scuttling of their own navy to
the destruction of railroads and factories.
Such people have more than earned
liberation Theirs is highly respected
place in the family of free nations.

GIVE AND TAKE

Recently figures compiled and pub
licized by the California State Chamber
of Commerce show that the per capita
wealth of the state had reached an all
time high of 1882 for the year 1914.
That means if the wealth were divided
equally each man, woman and child
would have that much. At about the
same time from Washington came the
word that the national per capita money
in circulation equalled S18515 per per-
son. Then some statistical fiend came in
with this ioy-crusher-the national debt
now amounts to 5000 per man, woman
and child. Oh, dear

GOOD CURB

CLOS Angeles Times)
The passage by the state senate of the
Judah bill, to exclude most seasonal
workers from receiving unemployment
insurance during normal layoff periods,
will, if passed by the assembly, plug
properly at least one leak. The whole
theory of unemployment insurance is
that it is for the benefit of those abnor-
mally thrown out of work. To give a
dole to part-time and seasonal workers
whose unemployment is normal is to
pervert the system and rob other work
ers for their benefit. In time it would
be bound to be reflected in lower wages
for seasonal employees, who could be in
duced to take less if they could count
on dole when their season is over;
so eventually it would be of no benefit
even to them.

In the opening stages, things went in
ways that had been expected. Dwight
didn't shy away from Merrifield's fists or
seek to stick it out by simply covering up.
He kept boring in. hitting as hard and often
as he could and taking all the punishment
that Merriheld could give him. He took far
more than he gave. Merrifeld, with his
superior strength and speed, landed limit
merable solid blows on Dwight's face and
body. Before long it seemed obvious that
Dwight was beaten. His face was bruised
and bleeding Both eyes were blackened
and swollen His breath came in hoarse
gasps through his swollen lips.
But it was here, where most fights end,
that the amazing part of this fight began.
Dwight wouldn't yield. Despite his weari-
ness and the tremendous punishment he had
taken, he kept coming in - and some OF his
blows landed and did damage. Merifeld's
face, though by no means as badly battered
as Dwight's, showed marks of battle -
and he, too, was slowing. He had used up
the explosive strength for truly decisive
blow. Somehow Dwight had managed to
avoid knockout before that extra strength
Of his opponents was gone.

One of Dwight's eyes was now completely

 It. Pete Gilmore of the U. S. Navy, formerly assistant attorney general under Henry Roden, is on his way back to Alaska, having arr rived in San Francisco after a heroic campaign in the Pacific where, as skipper of a landing craft he won several citations.
 It. Gilmore and his entire crew have been cited for Presidential recognition on the recommendation of Admiral Chester w. NimitZ for action in the Pacific, and the skip per, himself, has received personal citation and medal from Admiral R. K. Turner for work at Okinawa The latter citation reads:
 For heroic achievement in con- nection with operations against the enemy as commanding officer of a close-in fire support ship on April 1, 1945, during the assault and cap- ture of Okinawa. After a friendly vessel had been struck by an enemy suicide plane and raging fires en- sued, he, despite exploding ammun- ton and the fact that the vessel had been abandoned, brought his ship alongside and directed streams of water into the. heart of the fire.
