Court Theater in her native city. She
subsequently managed the Adelphi, the

repertoire included Magda, Sappho, Car

Munchuriu as Test

The course of events in Manchurla
seems to be presenting two-fold
test. The first of these is a test of
Soviet Russia's good faith toward
the Chungking government OF China.
The second test is as to our
readiness to uphold our Far Eastern
policy, including our commitments
toward the Chungking regime.
After lengthy negotiations. Mos
COW and Chungking concluded a
treaty last August. shortly before the
surrender of Japan. This treaty pro-
vided for a settlement of all the
outstanding issues between them,
including Manchuria. which was
recognized as under Chinese sover-
eighty, as embodied in the Chung
king government, subject to certain
Russian rights in ports and rail COM
munications. In supplementary
exchange of notes. the intention OF
the contracting parties was further
clarified as follows: I'm accordance
with the spirit of the above treaty,
and for the implementation of its
general ideas and purposes. the So
Wet government is ready to render
China moral support and assistance
with material equipment and other
material resources, this support and
assistance to be given fully to the
national government as the central
government of China"
If that pledge means anything, 1t
means that. besides actively aiding
the Chungking government, Moscow
would also refrain from aiding the
rival Yenan Communist regime. Yet
from the moment Russia entered the
Far Eastern war, there has been
suspicion that it favored the Chinese
Communists, notably lin regard to
lManchuria, who are now taking over
control as the Russian forces with
draw while impeding the re-estab-
lishment of Chungking's authority
The upshot is that the Communists
are now fastening their grip over all
Northern China as well as Man
churia, and are arrogating to them
selves a position OF equality with
Chungking as the prelude to a
struggle for supremacy in China.
Furthermore. the Communists are
challenging our right to aid Chung
king and the presence of our Ma
rines who went there under the
provisions OF the Potsdam Declara.

Cities and the Atom

raised by the atomic bomb-and by
no means the least important ques-
tion-involves the future OF cities.
II international relations do not take
a marked turn for the better in the
next few years, If the world shilly-
shallies in establishing strong peace
guarantees like those proposed In
the Truman -Attlee King declara-
ton, should we not promptly under
take to break up New York, Chicago,
Detroit, Washington and other great
population centers and become
country full of nothing but small
towns and villages?
The question is not a fantastic
one, and more than a few level
headed experts are inclined to
answer it in the affirmative. Pro-
fessor William F. Ogburn OF the
University of Chicago, for example.
believes that a drastic decentraliza-
ton is not unlikely, and he envisions
a time when we might find it wise

cost of possibly as much as $780,
000, ,000, ,000-to disperse all our 200
cities of $4,000 or more population
by converting them into 1000 differ
ent communities throughout the
United States. In his opinion. be-
sides making life pleasanter and
more wholesome from the stand
point of individual social activity
and health, such program would
serve to reduce the devastation the
Nation would suffer in the event OF
an atomic bomb attack.
DR.. Ogburn is professor, and
since many Americans have the
notion that professors are merely
impractical dreamers, it is worth
noting that his views are shared
at least in a measure-by some OF
the most practical people one could
think of. Thus, General Arnold,
chief of the Army Air Forces. in
his latest report on the AAF. has
given him not a little indirect sup
port. The project would be "over-
whelmingly expensive" and would
raise chronological problems of "the
greatest difficulty" but still General
Arnold suggests that I'VE might re-
design our country for minimum
vulnerability to atomic bomb attack"
by completely dispensing our cities
and moving vital industries under
ground on a sufficiently large scale" ;"
Other practical authorities could
be quoted along the same line. The
idea undoubtedly makes sense to
the extent that If the world cannot
live together in lasting peace but
keeps on acting as it has always
acted In the past. big cities will be
potential death traps for every one
who lives in them in the age of
electronics and atomic power It
should be added, however, that de-
Capitalization would not necessarily
| prevent total humiliation. There is
always the possibility. as one of the
atomic scientists has just pointed
out, that mankind, by converting
hydrogen into helium. may set of
m uncomfortable reaction that
would transform the earth into "a
new and exceedingly bright star, !"
by which he means a ball of fire
consuming all life within it.
Doing away with our cities, in
other words, might thus prove to be
waste OF time as far as human
survival goes. The moral seems to
be clear: II the world wants to
keep on living, it had better live as
one world, In permanent peace, with
the strongest possible control over
the immense catastrophe now lying
dormant In the atom.

St. lucy's, St. Johns s Lead CYO Loop

Comparable to the situation in the City Amateur League in which John Gefty) Pezzulo is pitching the Tribune A. c. to the championship; St. Lucy's Johnny Denardo of Crosby won another game and the league lead for his club when he gave the previously unbeaten SS. Peter and Paul team but four hits, two by Ciarlone, for 5-2 victory, last night in the CYO feature game of the eastern division.
 Three other games finished with no more than two runs between winners and losers; two of them one-run affairs while St. Michaers on Bob McAree's one-hitter, easily stopped St. Joseph's 5-1.
 St. Thomas carved out two runs in the last inning for a tight 4-3 win over Immaculate Conception; St. Francis Xavier won a 7-5 game from St. Francis of Naugatuck with a four run last inning tally; and St. Johns of Watertown scored in the last three innings for a close S-7 win over St. Anns which gave them the western division leadership.
 A timely bingle by Bobby Spell man won for St. Thomas as the hit scored winning run; Walsh beat- ing 8 hit and stealing second base to get in scoring position. Earring toms single, stolen base and score on a wild pitch evened the game before Spellman's all-important hit.
 Good Pitching
 In the all-St. Francis game, Ho- gan's pitching for the Hill" team was the difference in the 7-5 win. though Wilcox. Naugatucx pitcher, gave but i've hits and famed ten batters. Currier and San Angelo hit for extra bases for the losers: Mer- cier getting Q double for the FIX team.
 Two walks and q pair of pitches which hit batters forced in the run that gave St. Johns an e-7 win over st. Aims; Fontaine the losing pitcher.

Brosscos Play In N. Y. Fridov

With 15 victories and only one defeat behind them, the Fred Davi Brasscos shove off for Brooklyn, N. Y, tomorrow to meet the famed Bushwicks Friday night at Dexter Park, with Jimmy Gleeson's U. S. Sub Base team to provide the op- position Saturday night at the city stadium.
 Last night, Bill Lohrman and his Newburgh, N. Y. club proved an unexpectedly "soft touch" for the Brasscos, who got four-hit pitch ing from Teddy Grabeck toward 1O-0 shutout. Lohrnan started for Newburgh, former New York Giant and Dodger pitcher, whose stuff" was no mystery to the Brasscos bat ters. Four runs came in quickly as DeVito and Piestrak singles, Piurek's doubled and two miScues did the damage.
 Winch, ex-St. Louis Brown pitcher relieved Lohrman in the fourth in- ming, and stood up until the seventh, when two more miscues, walk and another hit by Pieurek scored two tallies. Mike DeLucia's hitting, 8 long triple and two singles was a Brassco batting highlight, while Pete Piestrak and Whitey Pieurek also performed in excellent fashion behind Grabeck who was in rare mound form.

The game was close all the way with Waterville pushing across the winning run in the last inning to win by to 4 score.
 The U. S. Time Bombadears were hardpressed all the way and were out in front of Bill Brennan'S up and coming Chase Metal combine by only 2 to 1 score going into the last inning. At that point the Chase defense collapsed and Time was able to score three runs there by winning handily by to l count.

There is nothing Bill Brennan would like better than to score a victory over his unde- feated relatives.
