Ely Culbertson Will Lecture
Tuesday Night AT ITALIAN Hall

When Ely Culbertson speaks in
Tnalian Hall on Tuesday evening
at $3.50 o'clock the audience will
see tall man stand alone on the
platform to talk about a peace
plan which he alone devised. The
miracle is that in the short time
since the Culbertson plan was an
nounced, so many world authori-
ties should nave realized its i'm
portance and agreed, wholly or in
part, with its proposals.
"The strongest and most real
isuc plan,' Dorothy Thompson
called it, ''for creating a world
police system that will protect all
in collective security Stuart
Chase, the economist, called it
1.-The only scheme I have ever
seen specifically designed for get
ting around the rock of national
ISM"
Even critics who disagree with
some Of the Culbertson conclu-
sions have agreed with the gen.
eral structure of the plan, or adj
mired its architecture. So Lin
Yutang says succintly IF Euclid
or Pythagoras could save us, Cul-
bertson will,' and continues in
praise Of Mr.. Culbertson's "com-
mon sense" and the "clear, lucid

, and precise presentation OF his
plan, which makes it lone of the
most attractive schemes Of world
cooperation. Besides, adds the
popular Chinese author, playing
a game of international bridge is
fun"
Another critic, Max Eastman,
offers a more serious recomznen-
dation: ely Culbertson has
turned his genius for combining
theory with practice, mathemat-
les with psychology, from one Of
the least important to the most
urgent of human problems
abolition of war. He has boldly
met all the seemingly insurmount-
able problems in the way of world
federation, and offered what seems
to me workable solution of each.
His plan is practical both from
the viewpoint of humanity's flu
ture and of the immediate in
terests of the dominant powers.
A program of world organization
such as he proposes can both
hasten the victory of democratic
civilization and conceivably make
it permanent. 1 don't know what
else can"
These and other warm endorse
ments should serve to keep Mr..
CulbertSon from feeling lonely in
MS lecturing swings across the
continent, but actually he relies
on even wider support for the
one-man peace conference he
holds On every platform.
1.-The people," he declares,
"want permanent peace. OF course
they want to win this war first
but they want peace after that,
not another war in another twenty
years. More, they want peace by
world organization with a police
force to make it stick. Have you
seen the Gallup poll figures?
Seventy-four per cent of the peo-
pie in this country and in Eng
land-the same percentage in both
countries-want police force.
That means seventy-four per cent
of the English-speaking world is
playing partners with me. How
can we lose?"

VurseIl Hits Labor Draft As Slavery"

No more scathing indictment of the May bill to draft labor for pri- vate profit of employers has been made than was hurled at it in a speech in the House by Congress- man Charles W. Vursell (R., Illo
 He pointed out many glaring de- fleets in the legislation, but it's fa- tai weakness, he declared, is that it fails to recognize "that free la- Dor under patriotic leadership will bring about greater production than slave labor"
 Vursell insisted that manpower problems have been exaggerated, and that such as do exist result from unWise policies of government agencies responsible for war pro- duction.
 For example, he charged that cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contract r s have been allowed to hoard labor and establish prices which have added billions to the cost of build ing our military machine.

have for use against the enemy are their cargo booms. With these weapons they do great damage to the enemy. However, the task force commander notes with pride that this ship also has been able to use her cargo booms more active ly to attack and destroy an enemy plane with one of these terrible weapons. He compliments her on her achievement. When the ship paints the trophy sign for destroy ing an airplane, do not paint it on the bridge but paint it on the car- g boom so as to make the gun crews envious of the winchmen." !"
 The commanding officer of the AK, Lieut.. Commander N. D. Sal- mon, USNR, sent the following message in reply:
 Cargo boom has returned to battery and reports manned and ready. Painting instructions com piled with. Winchmen, who are also gun crews, claim they got him without using lock, stock or bar rel. They beat him to death with the ramrod."

The sole weapon" used by the ship in knocking out the Nippon csc plane was her huge cargo boom, which she normally employs in unloading supplies off Pacific beachheads for our fighting men.
 Scene of the battle" which was made public at the headquarters of Vice Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner, Commander Amphibious Forces, U. s. Pacific Fleet, was in the Marianas area. The Japan ese plane dove in at the doughty cargo vessel and miscalculated it's run It crashed into the AK's ex- tended jumbo boom, then plunged into the water nearby.
 As for the planes torpedo, it hit the ship but broke in two without exploding!
 Upon receiving report of the action, Admiral Turner sent the ship the following radio message:

Here he lies under fertile sod Of foreign land, While above the strangers trOd- Over his last stand. ... Perhaps his life and many others Were to no avail, Merely grief to their waiting mothers Expecting hearty hail. There are they who will agree He died in vain, Others, still unconcerned, free From thoughts of pain. If the tiniest spark still remains Aglow in other breasts, Of idealisms fire in their brains, Quenched not with deaths! Then it's fully worth the sacrifice Keeping individual liberty alive, For with all gains in life
 Its sweat and strivel Though time erases notes of sorrow With swiftness undenied; Remember, we face coming morrow Perhaps with freedom jeopardized. It's hard to face unfriendly foe With fate on chance, Without refecting of graves, row on row, That flowers don't enhance.

Demilitarized under the London
disarmament treaty of 1881, the 33-
year -old former battleship Wyoming
has been indirectly responsible for

schmitts into oblivion and scores OF
Japanese kamikazes blazing into
the Pacific waters, the Navy dis

Although she has been confined tc
the protected waters of the Chesa-
peake Bay for the last three years
the old battleship has used up more
antiaircraft ammunition than any
other ship in this war. AS floating
gunnery school. she has fired more
than !, TOO, 900 rounds of ammunition
through her seven different types OF
antiaircraft guns.
Known by those who have been
assigned to her as both the "Chesa
peake Raider" and the "BEF" (back
every Friday, the ship, shorn OF
her heavy armament and armor oi
her battleship days, has made ar
enviable record for her work in the
training field. She has turned out
the gun crews for such famous fight

Dakota, Boise, Franklin, Shangri-La

She has been commended by Rear
Admiral Thomas L. Catch, 80;

subsequently was identified by the
Navy as the South Dakota.
More than $4,000 officers and men
Of the fleet received their antiair-
craft gunnery training aboard the
Wyoming since March, 1912. Dur
ing the two or three weeks that
they were aboard the ship. the
trainees received concentrated in
struction in handling and firing OF
the antiaircraft weapons. She had
the latest equipment in this field
aboard, and many times the gun
ners trained on the latest gadgets
reached their feet assignments be-
fore the guns were put aboard theil
ships.
In addition to training Of the
gun crews, the Wyoming was Sc.
lected to conduct tests of proposed
new gear. including modern direc.
tors for guns, gun sights and tools
that were developed in such rapid
succession as the war progressed
She really was the antiaircraf,
guinea pig of the Navy.
The Wyoming was modernized In
1927 and her engines changed ovel
from coal burners to oil. Shortly
after that she went to the rescue
| of the steamship Vestris, which
foundered in an Atlantic storm
about 300 miles off New York ir
1928.
Then came the London Confer
ence, which resulted in the remova
of three of her six turrets, armol
belts and torpedo tubes. The last
of her 12-inch guns was removed
in April. last year, to provide more
room for antiaircraft trainees.
