Won RlBBENTROP HAS
MUCH TO ANSWER FOR

Assuming that Hitler and Goebbels
are dead, the capture of Joachim Won
Ribbentrop at Hamburg closes the list
of Germany's top war criminals. The
dapper wine salesman has much to an
swer for in the bloody years since 1899.
He is to be dealt with as war criminal
Some method should be invented to COM
pei rim to write out word for word the
whole scheme of the Nazis from start to
finish. If he is the only one of the Nazi
hierarchy left, then he is the one and
only person who could put that record
in documents for future use.
AS Hitler's foreign minister, he be-
came the fuehrer's smoke-screen for all
the diabolical acts against nations which
had been assured of safety from attack.
1t was Won Ribbentrop who quieted the
fears of the leaders of the lowland
countries when they saw the warning
Hitler start his rampage. 1t was Won
Ribbentrop who engineered the false
pact with Russia.
The one place he failed was in at
tempting to persuade Turkey to side
against the Allies.
There is one slight entry in his log of
activities that is in his favor. That is
when he arrogantly gave the "heil Hit
ler' sign in the face of Britain's king
Whether he meant il or not, that act
was adequate warning of what was to
follow 1t was not his fault that the
world did not take heed at that moment
and halt Hitler in his tracks.
And now the hangman or the firing
squad.

THE STRIKE-vOTE
ANOMALY RISES AGAIN
Clos Angeles Times)

(LOS Angeles 1llHeS)
The industry-wide strike vote petition
of the United Automobile Workers again
directs attention to the paradoxical sit
uation in which the National Labor Re-
lations board is placed by the strike-vote
provision of the Smith Connally Act. As
the board itself has had occasion to point
out this provision has been used to bring
pressure in the form of strike threat
to bear upon government agencies deal
ing with labor disputes.
There can be no justification for
strikes in industries engaged in war pro-
duction in wartime but to give govern
mental sanction to srike votes before all
other resources of settlement of dis
pute have first been exhausted is slap
at patriotism and a mockery to the sac
rifices which the members of our armed
forces are making to keep the ravages
of war away from the home front. In
enacting into law such provision in the
first place and in permitting it to remain
on the statute books in the second place,
Congress has clearly been derelict in its
wartime duty and responsibility.
Sound advice is given the automobile
union members by their president, r. j.
Thomas, who urges them not to be "rab-
ble-roused" into strike at this time.

RELIGION
Philadelphia Dispatch)

(THllduelpHld OlSpdCCH)
In signing the bill providing that
school children may have one hours IN
struction in religion once a week on
school time, Governor Martin has helped
along NIGHTLY in program for the
minimizing of juvenile delinquency
Much juvenile delinquency is due to
the neglect of the most important matter
in the life of human beings. Our boys
and girls have been permitted to study
the biography of Benedict Arnold. They
have been permitted to discuss such men
as Arnold, whose names may be found
in American histories, but they have
been denied the privilege of studying
the life of Jesus or Moses, or any other
character in the Bible or in the history
of the Christian religion, or any other.
religion.
The teaching of religion by public
school teachers in public schools contin-
ues forbidden, but children may be dis
missed for one hour week from secular
studies for religious instruction by
teachers of their own faith, if such there
be in the community in which they live,
provided the school board allows.
The heroes of religion provide the fin
est examples of right living recorded
The examples they set are worthy of
emulation and, if children generally
were made acquainted with them, the
inspiration they furnish ought to be prof
table.
The new law does not violate the state
constitution. 1t merely clarifies what has
been permitted all along, with the re-
suit that some school districts have pro-
vided religious instructions for their
children. while others have denied such
instructions, according as legal counsel
of school boards have interpreted the
laws.

POLl'S

Now on the screen of the Loew- Poli Theatre is stirring adventure romance laid in the southwest of fifty years agoe Along anne Jones'" which brings Gary Cooper and Loretta Young to the screen in picturesque new roles.
 The film presents Cooper as Melody Jones, a "bronc stomper," who while riding through a little frontier town with his pessimistic pal Civilian Demarestl, Is mistak- en for & notorious bandit, and is pleased with all the attention un- til he learns the reason for 1t.
 It's lucky for Jones that Loretta Young rescues him from the venge- full citi7enry, when he is exposed as a harmless poseur. The real bandit, Dan Duryea, is hiding out on the ranch, protected by Loretta, his childhood schoolmate, who is sorry for him. Presently Jones suspects that Loretta Is using him as decoy to assist in the bandits escape.
 Full of quixotic Ideas about help ing the girl, Jones decides to go on posing as the bandit Complica- tions arising from Jones awkard- ness with a gun in emergencies are sometimes hila rious, sometimes thrilling. Generally Loretta man. ages to eXtricate him, for she's a dead shot, and this ability fig ures in breath-stopping climax when Jones and the bandit shoot 1t out close range, with a posse clos ing in on them.

fingered Jones is a serio-comic role which Cooper plays to the hilt. Miss Young enacts a most resource full frontier heroine. William Dem arest in the part of Jones cynical pal, and Dan Duryea as the mur- derous bandit, head the featured support with Frank Sully, Don Costello. Willard Robertson, Arthur Loft, Russell Simpson and other noted players. This picture marks Gary Cooper's debut as a producer.
 Copper lives up to his name, Melody Jones, by singing for the first time on the screen. Cooper's principal song, is "Old Joe Clark" a folktune of the early west, a ditty with a simple, haunting melody and more than a hundred four line verses.
 The second attraction is the musical drama Forever Yours" Starring Gale Storm, 1t is distinctly something new in its combination of entertainment with inspiration of Q sort which Is keenly needed these days.
