mine the other day. Soldiers holding
people up, robbing banks breaking into
apartments And this scandalous black mar
ket business in France! Our own men hi
lacking gasoline needed at the front. should
think it would keep you FBI people lying
awake nights, worrying about what's going
to happen when all these soldiers are let loose
on the country after the war"
Yes, we have had lot of unpleasant news
of that sort, lately Naturally it disturbs us
- all of US. But let's get things in perspec-
tive. When we do, we shall see that soldier
crime is much less frightening than some
things happening here among civilians.
Soldisrs Make News
Or COURSE, when soldiers 60 berserk. they
usually make news. Last November. an Army
flyer named Robert G. Kaslow made head
lines all over the country when he escaped
from the guard house at Craig Field, Ala,
stole training plane, and flew away Near
New Orleans he parachuted to the ground,
letting the plane crash.
He is now serving long term in prison
for theft of the airplane, in addition to terms
for forgery larceny, assault, intent to muir
der and desertion But the significant fact
is that he had already been found guilty of
these latter offenses by an Army court-martial
and sentenced to 80 years before he stole
the plane and tried to escape. He was just
potential criminal who happened to be in the
Army
Naturally, you can't induct whole seq
ment of the population into the armed forces
without getting some who are criminally,
inclined. The important question is: Are the
armed services creating criminals?
Taught 10 Kin
RECENTLY, the estranged wife of an Army
private complained in New York court that
her soldier husband had threatened her with
a knife. I'm going to kill YOU" she quoted
him as saying: I'm going to put knife in
you and twist it. The Army taught me that"
The Army taught me that. -"
Well, the Army does teach men to kill, of

twist a knife, but how to deal out death with
rifles, machine guns grenades and even with
their naked hands. Killing is the business
of the Army, and several millions of our
young men have become experts at it.
FB1 men are experts at it, too. We have
to be, just as the Army must be. In fact, the
FBI and marines have joined in developing

But no FBI man has ever been arrested for
crime of violence.

Hecht Co. 10 Build
100000 Store
In Silver Spring

The Hecht Co. will inaugurate It's
postwar expansion program with a
81 900 900 streamlined branch de-
partment store in the heart of the
Silver Spring (Md) shopping dis
trict, Charles B. Dulcan, ST. vice
president and general manager of
the company, announced last night
To be located on the northwest
Garner of Fenton street and Els
worth drive, the store will consist
OF three floors and basement, un-
der tentative plans, with 10000
square feet of selling space, based on
the latest designing in department
stores.
Permits Enlargement.
The building will have limestone
front and will be constructed to
allow for addition of other floors as
desired. 1t will be completely air.
conditioned, equipped with an esca-
lator system connecting all floors,
and passenger and freight elevators.
Adjoining the property will be a
parking lot providing accommoda-
tios for more than 1000 cars per day.
Mr.. Dulcan described the enter
prise as the company's first step to-
ward serving the many communities
which have recently grown up
around Washington.
Supplements Downtown Store.
I'VE are striving to provide great
er shopping convenience in those
sections where public buying habits
have indicated a definite need for
department store facilities and serv-
lce," Mr. .Dulcan said.
I'VE do not believe the branch
store will supplant the downtown
unit of any great distributive Or
ganlzation. but by its very
location will supplement the parent
institutions.
Where large groups of people are
concentrated in well-defned areas
there seems to be a positive need
for shopping facilities such as only
a department store can offer, and
it is our objective to help fill this
need in our community life"

Churchill Reviews
War and Aims, Is
Critical of ELIAS
BY PHIL AULT

LONDON, Jan. 18. (UP)-
Prime Minister Churchill to-
day implied that Spain and
Italy would be barred from
he peace table and dashed
hopes of a reconciliation between
the Greek government and Fam
Elias forces with a new and bitter
attack on Fam.
Churchill accused the Elias of
slaughtering 1900 to 1900 Greek hos
tages and pledged that Briti-h
troops would pursue the leftist units
into the mountains to rescue 5000
to 10000 more hostages if necessary

Hearing Reopened
On work-or-Fight
Bill, Stalls Draft

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. CUP)-
The house military affairs COM
mittee today put the brakes on its
speed-up program for work-or-be-
drafted legislation, and voted to
reopen it's hearings to give farm
leacers chance to testify.
The committee had planned to
draft bill today providing penal
ties for any of the estimated 49,
$4,000 selective service registrants
18 to As who refuse local board re-
quests that they take. or stay in,
essential war jobs. 1t decided dur
ing a two-hour morning session to
delay action, however.
Chairman Andrew j. May CD
Kentucky, said the committee de-
cided to hear War Food Acminis-
traitor Marvin Jones and President
Edward A. C'Neal OF the American
Farm Bureau Federation during an
afternoon session. Other members
sale committee approval of a bill
would be delayed until at least to-
morrow, and possibly next week.
Agricultural organization spokes-
men have opposed any form CT ma
tional service, fearing it might re-
suit in further depletion of already
-shcrt farm labor pools. They have
protested actions already taken to
recuce the number of farm defer
ments.

THREE RED ARMIES HURTLE TOWARD REICH
State Postwar
Money Sought
For Rural Areas
30 Million Flood
Control Aid Asked,
CT Bill Proposed

SACRAMENTO, Jan. Is.
(UP) = Requests for state
funds to assist local govern
ments in postwar public
works projects continued to
appear in the state legislature to-
day.
Assemblyman Charles w. Stream,
(R), San Diego, presented bill to
appropriate S5,000,000 in state mon
ey for plans and surveys for projects
in unincorporated areas, after an
interim committee on water re-
sources announced it would ask the
state to underwrite more than $780,
000,000 in local costs for federal
flood control projects.
Stream said provisions of his bill
were similar to measure adopted
at special session of the legislature
last year appropriating $10,O00,9O0
to assist cities and counties in plan
ming public works. Validity of the
$10,000,000 bill is being tested by
the state supreme court.
SAID OVERLOOKED
Areas outside incorporated cities
have been overlooked in the post
war planning program, Stream said
in explaining his measure. Roads,
sewer projects and the like would
receive state assistance under its
terms.
AS result of charges of brutality
against Los Angeles police officers,
Assemblyman Speaker Charles W.
Lyon introduced a measure which
would require immediate suspension
of a policeman who refused tc
testify before a grand jury.
Lyon said it was found in an in
vestigation of the death of a pris-
oner in Los Angeles that there was
no way of compelling testimony
from officers.
The $30,000,000 flood control pro-
gram was recommended by an in
term committee headed by Sen.
Bradford Crittenden, (R), Stockton.
Sen. George Biggar, (R), Covelo,
introduced state "GI" bill author
izing the veterans welfare board to
guarantee so per cent of loans made
by private banks to veterans pur-
chasing farms and homes, with
state liability limited to $4,000.

Critics contend the pact if ratified
would forever deprive congress of
any right to pass on its functioning.
They hold that it is essentially un-
fair to water users in the Colorado
river basin, particularly those in
California.
House opposition also stems from
the power of the commission ad-
ministering the treaty to spend pub
lie funds fer facilities. Representa-
tive Carl Hinshaw (RD California,
leading opponent of the agree
ment, contencS that it violates the
constitutional house authority to
apprpriate money for public works
He may renew previous demand
for an investigation of the circum-
stances of the pact's negotiation.

Representative Clarence F. Lea
Cd chairman OF the delegation

to prepare statement represent
ing the groups objections. Mean
while, he said, delegation members
