"Barbarism at its worst" ex-
claimed Rep. Gordon Garfield
of New Jersey, one of the
eight U. S. congressman who
viewed scenes in German hor-
ror camps like those shown
here. That the other German
civilians might know what
their comrades had done to
fellow-humans, American Off
GERS forced them to gather up
the dead and bury them.
Capt. Horace Smith, of New
York, succinctly expressed
the feelings of the Americans.
When a group of civilians de-
INJURED at his order to dig
graves, he raised his gun and
said dig, you 80 ------s!"

With Men, Not Bombs
Cincinnati Enquirer


 For a service man duty in Japan, and eligible to come home the B-29 provides quite the most ex- peditious commuters service yet figured out. To be sure the four Superforts that made the Japan-to- Washington flight only able to repatriate 43 men Compared to the tens of thousands coming back daily by ship the number is not significant But the flight itself profoundly significant And it's sign ficance will not be lost on other nations.
 Four B-29s made the nonstop journey from Hok- kaido to Washington D C. in 27 hours and 29 minutes The distance calculated at 6544 miles, more than quarter of the maximum circumference of the globe.
 It will not escape the alert general staffs of the ma ior and lesser powers that B29s could leave base on Long Island, fly to Europe and return, without ping up any greater mileage than on the one-way Japan Washington mission. And statesmen will not forget the fact that atomic bomb, with it's catasro phic impact, could be carried in each B-29 without reducing the fuel load measurably.
 The successful flight of the superforts is a drama tic demonstration of the great achievement of our Army Air Forces It also is by implication at least vivid warning of what another war will entail If the world is be subjected again to globa war Because American aircraft made the flight it will be warning in other countries But it ought also to be a warning to here in America
 In World War II, the United States and Canada were the only major belgerents never attacked by enemy forces. Our oceans gave us measurable pro- tection so long as we commanded them with our sea power If there is to be World War III, must face the fact that our geographic immunity from enemy bombing is gone. We shall have to defend our land and people as other less fortunate powers have had to do Any major military power can build aircraft to do what the BPS does. And any considerable industrial power will be able to manufacture atomic bombs-whether tell them how or not.
 Gratifying thought it is, as achievement of a great air force the Japan Washington flight is a sobering event

 Danger of imitation will loom as holiday spending grows reckless but the stars seem to indicate that the cost-of living rise will be compara- lively slight Demand for gems and fine furs will be greater than usual but will not seriously affect finan- cial conditions.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Performers and others will stress that the result of too much pleasure seeking is the apathy to job hunting. The stars presage more crimes, es- pecially robberies, as formerly we'll filled pockets grow empty.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 South America, which will bene- fit commercially through expanding trade, will encounter many difficult ties A cold Winter is predicted for certain countries and a late Spring may hurt crops at a time when food is the most serious of world con- cerns.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of outstanding achievement. Many dreams may come true in the next few months
 Children born on this day probab- ly will have brilliant minds and strong characters. Success in life is indicated.

We'll point no noxious parallels, but will only remark that this City is to prove itself there's no time to waste. Fairbanks did the whole job in one day Juneau has part of it's order already served up For that reason the day that's left more readily end on complete accomplishment.
 Of course, the deadne tomorrow night is just one that Juneau has set for itself There's still more time to come in which this City live up to it's record in previous drives-full quota subscription the
 ehtb Loan ends officially But then what of all the fanfare and horrah with which this City embarked on it's sef-chared course? Was that merely whisting in the dark?
 We think not, and expect to see our belief in our citizens justified when the count is taken at the end of Bond Week here tomorrow night.

D. stewart and with individual quotas allocated to them had their members all lined up to push he local campaign over the top within the week set. Now, with just one day remaining of the period uneau has staked out in which to display it's spirit, nos of the scattered reports that have been received rom the various groups demonstrate woeful want f tangible results
 Is it that cut itself too big slice of cake?

SENATOR OXERTON'S OFFICE HELP

Senator John Overton of Louisi- ana is mighty liberal man when it comes to paying his staff, especially when they happen to be relatives. For some years both his daughters, Katherine and Ruth, were on the Congressional payroll. Katherine got married and no longer sups at the public trough, but Ruth Overton still receives more than $2,200 a year.
 Senator Overton is also pretty liberal about time off for his help, especially when they are kinfolk Recently Ruth had an enjoyable vacation in Cuba. Not so, however, for a tired mother of heroic serviceman, Mrs. Julia Kearns, who works in the Senator's office.
 Mrs. Kearns" SOD has just re- turned from two years overseas with the Marines, where he was in many major battles including Two Jima. However. when it came time for, Mrs. Kearns to go back to Louisiana to visit the boy she had worried so much about, the Senator limited her to exactly one week, though the railroad trip alone takes four days.

LISTER HILL WAKES UP

But suddenly, after Truman's Sept. 6 announcement, the medical Hobby got busy Putting the heat under Democratic Senator Hill, they arranged for him to cooperate with rch-Republican Senator Taft | of Ohio, and jacked the bill out of committee over the protests Of Committee Chairman Jim Murray | of Montana.
 Senator Murray, who always has Favored a national health program, was put in an embarrassing spot. i He favored several portions of the |Hill- Burton Bill, among them a |survey of the country to see where hospitals are needed, and the gen. eral idea of a federal subsidy of S75 ,000, GOO a year to states, com munities and non-profit corpora tions to build hospitals where they are needed.
 But here is the chief joker in the bill. This federal money is to be allocatod not by the Federal Government which raises it, but by an outside council on which the American Medical Association lobby and the so-called American Hospital crowd" would appoint a of tIa Y,19T1o olpyc
 In other words, the Federal Gov
 ernment, after putting up the money, would have the privilege of sitting by and watching private institutions dole it out without any authority over how the money was used.
 This is the same scandalous pro- posal which has raised such a fu- rore in two other recent cases: (D the Atomic Bomb Bill, which places control of the bombs secrets in a committee of S1-a-year busi- nessmen not answerable to the Federal Government; and @ the Federal Aid Bill for scientific re- search.
 It is also the same principle at stake in the U. s. Employment Service. whereby the U. s. Govern ment puts up the money and the 48 states have the privilege oi spending it-with all the lush po- litical patronage that goes along Building up a local political mar chine at the expense ot the Fed

FRANCOIS AMBASSADOR

There is one ambassador in Washington whom both diplomats and high officials are watching more carefully than all the rest. They are especially interested in his health and his tenure of office
 He is genial, roly-poly Brazilian Ambassador Carlos Martins.
 Reason for the interest in Mar tins is not his pink shirts or his lovely wife-though both are spec tacular-but because, if he resigns, the Fascist Envoy of Dictator Franco is likely to become dean of the diplomatic corps
 At present Ambassador Martins is dean of the diplomats. He has served in Washington longer than any other ambassador, therefore precedes all others at dinners, and has the right to be their spokes- man. Popular despite his pink shirts and passion for bridge, Martins has been a real friend of the United States. Many ~people would regret his departure.
 But aside from personal popu- larity, they would regret even more having Spanish Ambassador Juan Cardenas become dean of diplo- mats and cock of the walk in the diplomatic corps
 At pres t, Venezuelan AmbaS- sador Diogenes Escalante is in line to become dean, but has been Seri- ously ill; in addition to which a new Venezuelan president has just come into power. So it is doubtful if Escalante can remain active in Washington
 That is why, with the exit of Brazilian President Vargas, State Department officials are hoping that the new head of Brazil will keep Ambassador Martins in Wash ington.
