Word has come through from
Agnes Newton Keith, whose Land
Below the Wind" won the Atlantic
nonfiction prize in 1889, that she
began writing another book while in
Borneo prison camp. The notes
were hidden in her little boys toys.
Now the Keiths and their son are in
Australian hands on their way home.
This news is the first received of the
KeithS since her necessarily brief
message written on Christmas Day,
1914, to Ted Weeks, saying quote
Sherman reference war. What about
Red Cross? Resources this country
limited. Our one hope peace soon.

The atomic bomb has long,
colorful, dramatic history starting
Just before the turn of the century

sensational climax in New Mexico
and the destruction of japanese
cities.
Bequerel and the Curies in France,
Rutherford and Chadwick in Eng

many, Dempster and Lawrence in
the United States were advancing
step by step to the unseen goal
long before science placed the ac-
tual chain splitting of atoms as a
practical, immediate objective. There
has been no better or more colorful
presentation of this history than
that of Mr.. Dietz. He gives SIM
pie and accurate exposition of the
actual technique of atom splitting
and ventures to predict something
of the future atomic age when
mans control over nature will be
extended in ways which transcend
the imagination. The author, as a
science reporter, has been con-
stantly in contact with the U-235
story since it's beginnings in Wash

is better qualified to recount the
dramatic history.
Atom First Split in Washington.
For most of the public the atomic

of atom smashing and abstains from
prophecy. Both books are essentia
for all who, without disciplined sci

 Irving F. Wixon, Director of Im- migration and Naturalization, told her she was free to go with her husband on the understanding that she travel to Canada and obtain a visa for legal entry into the U. $.
 Their marriage in the suburb city of Mosman, near Sydney, N. s. w, had removed her from the rules of the immigration quota, Wixon ex- plained, and all she needs is evil dence of legal entry to the U. $.

 During the IS months of sea duty young George has seen, his ship touched at such wi ely separated islands as Leyte and the Kuriles (at which point he figured he was pretty close" to home); Hokkaido and on down to Honshu and Kyu- shu. The U.SS. Bataan also took part in the big carrier strikes on Tokyo, made the first hits on Okinawa and later, took part in the invasion of that island.
 But eventually his ''big goal' was reached, and on Sept. 6, at 0435 a. m., in company with another CIVIL, the U.S.S. Monterey, and the CIV, U.S.S. Ticonderoga, the Bataan entered Yonsagua Straits, the entrance to Tokyo Bay, picking

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 - Plans for use of United States Marines as Minute Men" in the interna- tional organization to maintain peace were disclosed today by Gen. A. A. Vandegrift
 Testifying in support of a pest war Marine force of 100000 enlisted and 9.2O0 officer personnel, the Marine Commandant told the House Naval Committee:
 Tn the event that present efforts towards international organization to prevent war are unsuccessful, the scope of the fleet marine force will be expanded. It is a force of minute men," and it will be held in readiness to be moved instantly with the fleet to any part of the world to strike hard and promptly to forestall at it's beginning any attempt to disrupt the peace of the world"

 Tn letters to his father, Tom Jr gave vivid description of Tokyo Bay as it appeared as visibility cleared and the group of ships he was with drew nearer Hundreds of transports of all kinds filled the bay, along with carriers, battle wagons, cruisers, cans, DDS and various other types of naval vessels.
 Steaming straight into the middle of all these ships, the Bataan dropped anchor and within 90 minutes had started taking aboard a landing party of a hundred or more men, who had gone ashore on Aug. 28 He wrote. We got all our men aboard except one lieutenant" 1" and each man had from one to five Jap rifles with him.
 Then, shortly after, orders came to leave Tokyo Bay, but no longer for destination unknown" This time they were headed for Oki- nawa, then Pearl Harbor and soon home.

War Fund Drive
Begins March |

The 1916 Red Cross War Fund,
the greatest organized campaign Of
modern times for the dispensation
of practical aid, kindness, spiritual
uplift and mercy to our armed
forces and millions of helpless per-
sons in this war-torn world viii get
under way March 1st and continue
all through the month in Wyandotte

country. The Detroit area including
all of Wayne County is asked to
raise $5,137,OO The national goal
is 5000 100000. Thousands of vol
unteer workers viii give their time,
their strength and their courage in
making house-to-house solicitation
to raise local and national quotas.
The slogan of the 1945 Red Gross
campaign is keep your Red Gross
at His side. This year 1t will be
just as necessary as ever to make the
implied promise of the slogan come
true for our boys who are fighting
and dying in far off corners of the
world. 1t will be even more neceS-
sary, according to Colby NJ. Chester,
National Red Cross chairman and
William j. Norton, chairman of the
board of the Detroit Red Cross
chapter, because Of the chaotic con-
ditions prevailing in Europe and
the intensification of the war
against Japan. That the tempo of
the conflict will rise to new heights
of fury, death and destruction is
the opinion of Allied military lead
ers.
