Sorrow and Woe:
Proverbs % 1882: Who hath woe?
Who hath sorrow? Who hath con-
tentions? Who hath babbling?
Who hath wounds without cause?
Who hath redness of eyes?
They that tarry long at the wine;
they that go to seek mixed wine.
Look not thou upon the wine when
it is red, when it giveth his color
in the cup, when it moveth itself
Alright.
At the last it biteth like a serpent,
and stingeth like an adder.
If this is not enough to describe
strong drink to cause young women
to scream with horror and young
men to put up their hands in
awful woe. God help us to do
something about it.
Drunkards Cannot Enter Heaven:
I Corinthians 6:10: Nor thieves,
nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall in
herit the kingdom of God.
I write these solemn warnings
from the Word of God having just
read of several accounts of re-
turned soldier boys and servicemen
who did not drink when they left
home and returned habitual drunk
ards to the world.
Also have in my possession &C
counts of several young girls who
left their home town to be secre-

home with neither morals or char
acter. God save America from a

New Jersey Aided
In Tokyo Attack
BY the Associated Press.


The Navy revealed today that the
battleship New Jersey, one of its
newest and biggest battleShipS, par
ticipated in the first major carrier
air strike against Tokyo and Yoko-
hama last February.
The 45,000-ton dreadnaught took
her big guns along to protect other
elements of the fleet in the action
which began February 16.
In air thruStS at Japan, the Ryu-
kyuS and against enemy task forces
between March 18 and April 13, the
New Jersey again was a member
of the attacking group. For a time
she served as flagship of Task
Force So.
The New Jersey and her sister
ship, the Iowa, for which their class
is named, Joined the Pacific Fleet
January %, 1914, at Funafuti, Ellice
Islands.
During attacks on the main Japa-
nese home island of Honshu in
March, the New Jerseys antiair-
craft guns shot down four enemy
planes. Some were suicide planes
diving on carriers. One plane, a
Zeke, was blown to bits by a direct
hit frem one of the New jerseys
6-inch guns.
Following the February Is Tokyo
strike, the New Jersey moved to Two
Jima to cover the landings there
February 10, where she remained
until February 81, when she returned
to join in the February 25 Tokyo
strike.

The United States Army has told
Representative John Rankin where
to get of!
Seems there is a subcommitte of
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee that has been greatly dis
turbed by reports that there are
Communists in the Army, fighting
and dying for our country. Re-
garding this as something not to
be tolerated, the subcommittee car
ried on an investigation and found
its worst fears confirmed. There
actually are some Communists in
the Army or, at least, some men
whose backgrounds reflect Com
munism in some form" The Ian
guage quoted is that used by H.
Ralph Burton, chief counsel for the
subcommittee. in making public
list of the offenders, after having
first made his report to the nervous
subcommittee behind closed doors.
Not only some men, but some Of
ficers-sixteen of them.
In an army of only-What is it now,
10000 900 men?-there are as many
as 16 whose backgrounds reflect
Communism in some form"
Comes Out and Names Them.
The subcommittee doesn't heSi-
tate to name them and to tell every
thing it has learned about them
except their behavior as soldiers and
officers. This major, naming him,
wrote pieces for the New Masses
and the Daily Worker before he en-
tered the Army. This captain, nam
ing him. did the same thing for the
New Masses and the Negro Quarter
". Various of these lieutenantS,
naming them-to make sure their
regulations are Smeared whether or
not anything else happens to them
Joined organizations such as the
American League for Peace and De-
mocracy, the National Federation
for Constitutional Liberties and the
like, the sort of organizations young
men and women join as means of
registering their protest against
things they don't like and which
never yet have resulted in anything
more dangerous than letting of
steam.
Worst Of all, one or two of them
had volunteered and fought with
the Republicans against Franco in
Spain. The subcommittee report
tells that, but doesn't tell that some
of the culprits also had volunteered
for their service in the United States
Army, not waiting to be drafted.
Now for the bravery of the United
States Army. Having read this re-
port on the first pages of the news
papers, where it was duly published,
the United States Army said, in
effect, so what?" Or, in the more
dignifed language of Maj. Gen.
wild Bill" Donovan, under whose
command four of the accused men
serve, Their mission organizing

Truman Not Interested.

denced their loyalty to this country

ical science at the University of
Virginia, in Ten Years of County
Manager Government in Virginia

The workings of Albemarle and
Henrico are discussed at greater

DR.. Spicer discusses the signifi-
canoe of the Optional Forms Act to
Virginia, writing that it grants to
counties for the first time the right
to some measure of home rule.
There is an unmistakable trend
toward State Capitalization. This
trend will continue unless the coun-
ties are made more efficient and
more responsible" he states, adding
a statement he made 10 years age
that the people of the counties have
reached the point where they Aust

One Step From
Enactment
Only Minor Change
Made as Measure
Passed Senute

The Randolph bill to settle the
century-old boundary dispute be-
tween the District and Virginia to-
day was but one short step from
final legislative action.
The Senate yesterday passed the
bill, without debate or objection,
when it was called up by Senator
Hoey, Democrat, Of North Carolina,
acting for the Senate District Com
mittee.
The measure now goes back to the
House for agreement on one minor
change written into the bill on the
Senate side at the request Of At
torney General Clark.
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee, who had piloted
the compromise draft of the meas
ure through the House last June,
voiced delight over Senate passage
Of the bill and indicated he would
seek early House adoption of the
change, to send the measure to the
White House for signature into law.
If this is not done today, Chairman
Randolph Is expected to call it up
Monday, which viii be District day
in the House.
The measure fixes the boundary
at the currently prevailing high
water mark on the Virginia shore.
