napos Academy considerable pressure being exerted for training center the West Coast This pressure not only from the Pacific area. One of Wash
 gtons most potent newspapers also favors the plan
 We see much common sense in the idea that America should now have naval colleges both in the East and West. Certainly one will doubt that maritime responsibilities in the Pacific will be tremendous, and will continue for generations. What is more natural, then, than training pro- gram based on the shores of both major oceans in which our ships must sail?
 There many spots in the West where a second Annapolis might be established. San Fran cisco with her vast harbor and her rail and ship terminals is Seattle is another-and with the increasing importance of the North Pacific the posi- ton of the Northwest metropolis is increased There are others-Portalnd Los Angeles, San Diego The excellent flying weather of Southern California would be an argument in favor of that particular district
 But regardless of where school might be set up the idea of twoocean training establishment is one which deserves thorough consideration As one edi- toria has put it. it would be excellent idea if our Navy boys could receive half of their training on the Atlantic and the other half on the Pacific.

NATIONAL WAR FUND

Next week marks the opening of the last drive for the National War Fund Last year the goal was sl35OO and this year it is $25O0 less But the need is almost as great.
 While the is won and some of the activities sponsored by this fund will be discontinued, other functions will be greatly increased. Food cloth ing and medical care must be provided for the lib- erated peoples of Europe and those in the Pacific, and Americans are expected and should do their share. Those of within the continent and terri toa boundaries of the United States that have been untouched by the battle have had a comparatively easy time of it. Americans everywhere can prove they genuine in their efforts to win the peace by donating to the National War Fund.
 Among the member agencies whose functions have increased with the end of the many set up for providing relief for the peoples of the countries formerly under the rule of Hitler and Hrohito, and there are many more than a dozen of these. In addition the USO, the United Seamen's Service the War Prisoners Aid and others directly related to the conflict will continue to function for good many months and they will need funds
 This is the last drve-let's put it over.

Comic, Not Cosmic Minds?
est. Louis Star 'Times)

The comic" Strips-Which long ago trans formed into serialzed -unquestonaby have established themselves feature of the cultural and intellectual lie of the nation They are substitutes for the Nick Carter stories which another generation read in the hay-loft behind the screen of big geography book.
 Nevertheless it is bit disturbing that the 'maga- zines which made up of nothing but these strips have outdistanced everything else by far in becoming the favorite reading" matter of men in uniform. Educators child psychologists and others who have very special with shaping the generations to thrown into quite dither, but apparently they have now decided to recognize the unacceptable. It is another case of Mohammed going to the noun tain because, instead of trying to fight against the "comcs" they are turning them to their own ends.
 Thus some time ago church-schoo people took to telling the old Bible stories in the form Teachers of history translated the essential facts about Chrso pher Columbus, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln into four-color strips And now comes the American Association for The United Nations to em ploy the device to preach against war and in favor of international cooperation
 This may be just a beginning. It strains our imagination but who can say that the mathematcians will not some day use comics to explain Euclid and Enstein? Nevertheless hope that Strngfelow Barr and Robert Hutchns will continue to acquaint at least few young people with the cassics-even if they should find it necessary shelter the ancient flame after the fashion of the medieval monkSfor can not abandon hope for renaissance which will renew appreciation for the efficacy and beauty of mere words now beneath the contempt of the strip car toonist and his growing audience. We dare not stop hoping for a age which will appreciate the eegancy, facility and golden cadence of poesy"

Pieled Afghdns Now BeingMdde
 For Red Cross

Workers who have been knitting afghans for convalescent veterans in Army and Navy hospitals for the Red Cross during the summer months have now completed p, and Mrs. J. c. Thomas, Production Chairman, reports that several more are almost completed. Expectations are that a total of more than thir- ty afghans will be turned in.
 In addition to the knitted afghans, several women are working on pieced wool afghans, and request has been made by Mrs. Thomas for additional woolen pieces in gay, bright colors.
 These materials need not necess- arily be new, but the good parts of worn skirts, dresses or suits are en- tirely suitable, provided they are clean and free of moths. Coat

far are in favor of Dunn. The newshawkS in the State Depart ment press room, are betting strong that Dunn once again will emerge as the fair haired boy, once again will run the State Department
 Also the society ladies in Wash ington are gossiping about the close friendship between Mrs. Cordell Hull and Mrs. Jimmy Byrnes and how, because of petticoat rule Byrnes will eat out of Hulls hand.
 However, this columnist, who has watched Byrnes over period of many years, has different opinion. When Byrnes became War Mob ilizer, it was generally reported that Bernie Baruch, his close friend and political godfather, would control Jimmy But he didn't. Byrnes went his own sweet way, to such an extent that Baruch got indignant and went around telling people what a mess Jimmy was making of things.
 So this columnist is betting that Byrnes, as Secretary of State, will eat out of nobody's hand-neither Hull's, nor Jimmy Dunn's nor any, ones. Byrnes will rely on his own mature judgment in his difficult job of trying to achieve the hopes and ambitionus of mankind for the future peace of the world

pened to Cordell Hull. During the first months of his administration he ran into a personal feud with Professor Raymond Moley, the brain truster whom Roosevelt had made Assistant Secretary of State and who rushed to London for the avowed purpose of "rescuing" the London Economic Conference. Hull was a leader of that conference and quite rightly felt that he didn't need anyone to rescue him.
 The man who helped Hull at London was the State Depart ment's Chief of Protocol, Jimmy Dunn, whose job it was to make hotel reservations, arrange place cards at dinner and check on all physical arrangements for the con- ference. Dunn is one of the incest, most likeable men in the State Department, and simultaneously one of the worst reactionaries. He makes up in charm for what he lacks in brains.
 Hull never forgot Dunn's help with the formalities of running the London Conference. And later, when Jimmy piloted Hull through the Pan-American Conference at Montevideo, he became perma- nent fixture as Hull's closest State Department adviser It made no

difference that Calvin Coolidge had picked Dunn as chief arbiter of social affairs In fact, he became Hulls most trusted confident on intricate political problems.
 And, as such. his influence was almost always thrown against Russia even after she became an ally, and for Franco Spain, even when it was obvious that Franco was kept in power only through the Axis
 Last winter, for instance, Dunn was charged in the Senate. with having instructed the American Minister in Switzerland, Leland Harrison, to stop reporting on the Nazi murder factories which Harri- son reported were killing Jews by the thousands. Harrison had sent a long cable on these frightful Nazi atrocities, but received stop order from Washington that the State Department wanted no more of such reports.

CAPITOL HILL CRITICS

Some of Jimmy's old friends on Capitol Hill will tell you that he IS ambitious, that he is an oppor- tunist, that he is always out for Jimmy Byrnes, that he undermined the late Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi with FDR. Some Sen ators, such as the venerable Tom Connally of Texas and Walter George of Georgia much preferred having cooperative Ed Stettinlus as Secretary of State and weren't at all enthusiastic about having Byrnes assume that office, even though they tantly went through the motions of endorsing him. They figured he would be headstrong and uncooperative.
 Despite their criticism, however Jimmy Byrnes is ideally suited to be Secretary of State-eXcept for one defect. He has no first-hand, intimate knowledge of foreign at- fairs.
 In other words, Byrnes will have to take the word of his foreign affairs experts. Ii they give him the wrong word on a certain situa- tion, he may stub his toe. He is largely in their hands.
 This is the danger which always exists in one of the so-called "career" departments of govern ment. It is hard for a Secretary of War or a Secretary of the Navy or a Secretary Of State to come in green and go counter to the career officers who have functioned per manently for decades. JoSephus Daniels was the only Secretary of the Navy in years who has had the courage to buck the tide, and that was one reason he was so hated by the Navy. Charles Evans Hughes was one of the few recent Secretaries of State who rose above the career officers and really ran the State Department.
 Cordell Hull, who sensed this problem, sometimes with obvious illustration, in the end was taken in by the subtle charm of the men around him, until without realizing it, he became their mouthpiece and spokesman rather than their taking orders from him.

 HEART AND HOME
 Churches in all parts of the coun- try will arouse interest among the young by means of reviyals. Music is to contribute much to widespread spiritual consciousness.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Shipment of food and other neceSS- saries to war-torn nations of Europe will place a growing financial bur- den upon the U. s. Government. Our fame for endless resources and fab ulous wealth will cause many unfair demands and complicate diplomatic problems, the seers prophecy.
