Present Duty of Science
CWashington Starr

Washington Starr
 The November issue of the Scientific Monthly contains an article on The Social and Moral lmpnca- tions of Science" which ought to be read widely and pondered deeply Its author is Dr Joseph Schneider, distinguished member of the faculty of the depart ment of sociology in the University of Minnesota. He is fortnight in his approach to the challenge of those critics of science including many scientists o the very highest standing who realize that despe the progress which undoubtedly has occurred through the exercise of organized common sense" "The simplest needs Of men still remain unsatisfed .-
 Dr Schneider is specific too. Adequate food, clothing and shelter for every one, he comedies s still unreazed aspiration He also adnlts thaC III the recent vast contest of organized destuction the magnitude of the damage done wasof the scientist s own making" It was the of science.sswho deVel- oped the principles from which bernn the minds of the inventor and (the) engineer, the guns, the shells the tanks the ships the planes and the robot bombs which threaten to make shan1bles Of the world for years to come The scientist likewise IS to blame for developing the techniques ot mass regl- mentation for death everywhere in evidence. He, in brief, has given mankind power over nature ana that power has been abused.
 But Dr. Schneider particularly reSents the com fortable conviction" of many men of science !" that they share moral responsibility in deciding to what uses their discoveries and inventions are put Yet he does not indulge in peSsmistc resignation to conditions chaos they If we should wish to call given social and moral order desirable than another" he declares the tools of science can con- ceivably provide for its attainment" And why not? The power of organized comon sense is not naturally perverse On the contrary the force of intelligence which has isntegraed the atom ought to be competent to ntegrae the confusion which thus has been created Certainty it is duty try The pitiful situation of the human in this vital moment of its age-long ordeal demands the endeavor

pared with 213 Q five years ago and A on the debt of the first world A rate today as high as the latter would require outlay in interest for the rest of the fiscal year of $7k billion instead of s31s billion
 In addition to the $8 billion estimated cost of veterans benefits interest, and tax refunds during the November-June period $26 billion is expected to be spent for such direct costs as pay and sub- sistence of the armed forces military equipment and operations returning to their homes and war contract cancellations.
 Another $4 billion, bringing total Government expenditures for the eght-month period to $38 billion is estimated the cost of general Government opera tons and certain homecoming items. The latter include S1 1I3 billion for participation in the Breton Woods program and S1 billion for expansion of the capital stock of the Export Import Bank.
 It is to aid the Government in financing the heavy load of warincurred expenditures that the Treasury is hoping to sell $11 billion in bonds during the Victory Loan, which continues until December 8. It is the eighth and last time that the Treasury will promote an organized drive to help pay the bills of victory In the first loans the public answered by invest ing total of $l35, 100000. 1tfJ
 Heretofore Juneau has always met it's quota with some to spare but this final drive is tagging Let's go over the top.

It takes about S7o0O to establish a veterans hospital bed and about s5 day to keep man in a hospital
 These are among the expenditures the nation faces as an aftermath of the Something like $2i2 billion is expected be needed between and the end of the Governments fiscal year next June 30 to handle aid of various kinds to veterans.
 Other war-reated expenditures will require s512 billion more during the rest of the fiscal year including s3 billion in interest the public debt and $2 billion in tax refunds
 Besides disqualification, every veteran with a service connected disability entitled to vocational rehabilitation which may extend over four years
 veteran may go back to school and receive up to $75 month for subsistence and up to $500 year for tuition books and supplies, If he does not go back to school and is unable to find employment he is eligible for unemployment compensation up to $20 week for year
 More than 00000 veterans of this who suffered physical disabilities are receiving pensions Monthly payments also going to the dependents of nearly 100000 and women who paid the supreme sacrifice The Veterans Administration is paying pensions disability compensation to more than 100000 persons.
 Largely as a result of expenditures, the public debt in five years has risen from $50 billion to than s26o billion and something like $3h billion will be paid the last eight months of the fiscal in interest. II

COMBAT DECORATIONS

One unfortunate fact in this war is that many of the enlisted men and young officers who performed miracles of heroism got no deco rations for them. As one young lieutenant described it:
 We were so busy fighting that l never had time to write down citations. It didn't seem important then. But now that we're back home and see all the spinach on other peoples bosoms, naturally it makes tne combat boys little envious. We didn't realize that the folks at home considered these things so important"
 Probably it's too late for some Of the combat men who so richly deserve recognition to get 1t now However there may be some con- solsuon in realizing the manner in which some decorations are wangled. For instance, this writer recalls q telegram in U. s colonel's office in Belgrade. Jugo- slayia. from a U s. colonel in Bucharest. Rumania, just after the last armistice Il read:
 Am sending one carload sugar for Jugoslay Government relief How about that order of St. Saya you promised me?"
 Or again many combat veterans recall the spinach on the bosom of Brig. Gen. Julius Holmes. They did not realize at first that hi, Order of the Phoenix from Greece his Lebanese Order of Merit, hi' Commander of the Grown of Jugo- slavia, his Southern Cross 0. Brazil, bis Tunisian Nishan Ifftica; and numerous other medals were largely received when he was pro. tocol officer for the New Yorl Worlds Fair.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compep
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8

Innumerable planetary influences are active today which may be dis turbing and confusing. Adverse aspects dominate the early hours and are powerful in the evening.
 HEART AND HOME
 Under this configuration acci- dents may be numerous. Aged per sons should be especially careful to- day It is lucky date for filing employment applications. Heads of big corporations will encourage young persons who will receive special training.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Real estate investments will be more than usually popular in coming months and farming will attract young folk. Many girls will be among the increased number of stu dents at agricultural schools.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Influx of foreign brides of Amer ican servicemen now should inspire earnest study of differences in na- tional ideals and racial customs.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 When uniform definitions of de mocracy" and Communism are accepted by all nations there will be a real advance toward lasting peace. According to the seers, words at this time take on extraordinary power as they become ammunition for international propaganda,
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of more than average good fortune. Good prom ise for those who belong to artis- tic professions.
 Children born on this day may be highly sensitive and imaginative. Potential geniuses are plentiful un- der this sign. M

young shipping experts who have worked faithfully are stampeding for private jobs. The National Labor Relations Board. once kicked all over the lot by business and various labor factions, has won unique recognition. The Labor Management Conference could agree on just about. one thing namely, to increase appropriations for NLRB, and to keep it inde- pendent of the Labor Department. Yet, few short years ago, NLRB was considered the greatest enemy of business. Billy Rose, the big Broadway producer, is having ser want troubles. Reason is Senator Bilbo. A news columnist reported that Rose was on a committee with Senator Bilbo to plan national stadium in Washington, D. c. Billy never met Bilbo, but New York Negroes hate Bilbo so that they won't work for Billy Rose They think he's friend of Bilbo's.

more, what the citation does not say is that Hurley was with the Judge Advocate Generals office which operates well behind the lines.
 But an hour or so before the Armistice, Hurley came forward in company with Col. E. St. Creole to watch the historic end of the war. They were about 2,000 yards be- hind the lines when It. Col. Wilbur Rogers of the 77th Field Artillery stopped them and told them the show was over But they were bent on going forward anyway.
 Seven months after the war was over, on June 3, 1919, Hurley mys- teriously received Silver Star citation for voluntarily making a reconnaissance under heavy enemy fire on Nov. II, l9l8."
 Regardless of any other facts Tn the citation, the trlp OBVIOUSLY was voluntary"
 The Sanity Court of the District of Columbia, Case No. 16988, shows that E. St. J. Creole was adjudged insane Jan. l3, 1886, and committed to St. Elizabeth's Asylum. Some State Department officials now wisecrack that they wish his former comrade- harms was with him in- stead of now badgering them in the Senate Foreign Relations Con- mittee.

HURLEY'S SPINACH

Again the delightful and ire pressible Patrick J. Hurley, ex- Ambassador to China, could tell an interesting story of how he got the Silver Star citation which so proudly adorns his chest. It was awarded for "gallantry in action on Nov. H. 1913, in voluntarily making a reconnaissance under heavy enemy fire"
 Nov. Il. 1918, of course, was Armistice Day. and everyone knew on that fateful morning the war was coming to an end. Further

BILBo LOVES PERSECUTION

The story is being whispered round that Mississippi's Senator Bilbo actually paid to have his office picketed by a wounded war veteran
 Whether true or not. it is fact that the Mississippi filibusterer al- ways has thrived on persecution. He was in jail on a contempt of court charge when he first began his campaign for the Senate. It made him a martyr Since then, Bilbo has always capitalized on the at tacks against him. He is now claim ing a Northern conspiracy to dic- tate to the State of Mississippi whom it should send to the Senate. That's why it's rumored that he paid the veteran to picket his office so he could pull the persecution charge again.
 (Note-Meanwhile, various anti Bilbo candidates are on the horizon, latest being It. Comdr. Nelson Levings, only naval officer from Mississippi who served on the Battleship US.S. Mississippi

 Two distinct military admins trations are functioning in this provisional capital. The Yugoslav military authorities are operating seemingly as if the British Eighth Army didn't exist, although the British military police patrol the streets. The military strength in the area is predominantly British.
 The situation in Klegenfurt has not reached the tenseness that it has in Trieste, Italy, but obvious ly some agreement must be soon reached so that the Eighth Army can either turn it's job over to Tito's partisans or carry out the task it entered Austria to do after the bloody trek through Italy.
