OF the fine Scandinavian groups in the
Pacific Northwest - NorWegians, Danes
Suicides, Firms and Icelanders-only t1oo, the
NorlDegians and the Suicides, are represented |
by newspapers printed II, the Northwest in
their native languages 1t has al,0ays seemed |
to the publisher, natiDe OF S1Deden, that all |
fine Scandinavian peoples, particularly the |
younger generation, should be provided auith |
a common meeting place, 'aDhere, in English |
as common tongue, they could keep alve
the fine traditions Of their natiUe lands and
merge them into the ideals of America We
believe that so long as Danes, Firms, and Ice
landers are not provided aDith seats at the
table, the family gathering is not quite COM
plete.
Believing there is field for such Jour

There is only one decisive battle in war: the
LAST one
Mere magnitude of a struggle is deceptive
1t is conceivable that, given two opposing forces
of say, five million men each, we'll led we'll armed
with neither having marked advantage of supply
and terrain, they could slug it out fight back-and
forth battles of attrition, until the decisive"
phase would be reached with each side having
decimated regiment, three machine guns, trench

down to the second bend of the type bar.

WASHINGTON - W.D In
Guiding Mrs. Morgan's $50 a

for fiscal 1914 was $4,000, 900.
Mrs. Esther Hill Morgan of
independence, Ore, still re-
ceives S240 a year because her
father fought with the New
York militia in the war of 1912.
Mrs. Morgan's money is all the
Veterans Administration ex-
ponds today on that war.
The Civil War still costs
nearly sl4,000,O00 in pensions,
however. and veterans and vet
Grams dependents for the Indian
Wars draw S2,300,00O. World
War ] payments were four times
as large as those for World War
IL 1884, 100000 for the first;
$50. 100000 for the second. Pen
sions now 60 to 100000 veterans
and $4,000 dependents.
NEW REGULATIONS MADE
The 1945 pension bill will be
bigger by at least S37,00O,O00
because Congress has decided TO
take care of widows and minor
children of World War l veter-
ans whose deaths were no: caus-
ed by service disabilities.
The new regulations make the
childless widow whose income
is less than 1000 and the wild
ow with children whose income
is less than $4,000 eligible for
benefits simply if her dead hus-
band served at least 90 days in
the last war and was honorably
discharged.
This gives the widows of
World War / veterans one ad-
vantage over their sisters of
World War II.
If their husbands died as a
result of service, both receive
pensions until they die or re-
marry. Likewise, both are pen
stoned if their husbands had
service connected disabilities,
yet died of something else.
WORLD WAR l VETS ONLY
But if two honorably dis
charged veterans-one of each
war-and neither one disabled
in service, should die in an auto
mobile accident, only the widow
and children of the World War
One veteran would be pension
ed.
Payments will begin in the
newest class as each dependent
establishes her claim at the
nearest Veterans Administration
office. She can do this by mail.

Is - P) - Constitutionality Of
contested sections of the Selec-
tive Service act was upheld by
Federal Judge Fred M. Ray
mond yesterday in denying a
motion for dismissal of charges
against five conscientious OBJ
jectors.
Judge Raymond held that
neither the constitutional rights
nor immunities of the five,
charged with desertion from
Camp Germfask. had been VIC
lated when Congress voted to
draft certain citizens for non
military duties in wartime.
Corbett Bishop, 38-year-old
pacifist who staged an 86-day
hunger strike in protest to his
detention on the charges, was
one of the five men. They plead
ed nolo contendere on Dec. g..
He resumed eating after he was
released without bail.
Others affected by the deci-
sion are Calvin Clay Pope, 10,
of Polk County, Tex; Ernest
Sanaszak, %, Benton Harbor;
Donald Ross Burton, %, Hudson,
Wis, and Bjorn Eikram, 30, of
Portland, Ore.
Defense counsel claimed Sec
tons of the act were unconstitu-
tienal on the grounds that civil
ian work camps were under in

Spotlight
BY Louis Lautier

Prizefighting and politics are
similar in one respect. Two boxers
will come to the center of the ring,
get their instructions from the ref
cree, shake hands, go back to their
corners, and, when the gong sounds,
come out swinging. They will try
their darndest to knock each other
out. But after the decision is an
nounced, the loser will rush over to
the winner and congratulate him.
That is good craftsmanship.
The same thing usually happens
between two candidates for office.
During a campaign they will say all
manner of evil about each other.
But when the verdict of the voters
is in, the loser usually sends a mes
sage of congratulations to the win
ner.
But this rule of conduct has not
been observed by Bob Church, of
Chicago, and Herbert E. Brownell,
Jr., of New York, chairman of the
Republican National Committee.
True, the situation between them
was different. They started out on
the same side, but wound up antago-
nists.
AS the story goes, a group of col
ored Republicans were dissatisfied
with the progress of Dewey's cam
paign against Roosevelt among col
ored voters. They asked Dewey for
an audience. Dewey's secretary re-
piled that the Governors engage
ments prevented him from seeing
them early enough to do his cam
paign any good and asked them to
see Russell M. Sprague, Republican
national committeeman for New
York.
Sprague was alarmed at the
things small delegation told him
and made an appointment for the
delegation to talk with Brownell.
This delegation mapped out a cam
paign strategy which would have
made the treatment of colored per-
sonnet in the armed forces the chief
issue in the fight for the colored
vote. The delegation asked for a
budget of around $4,000 a week for
the remaining seven or eight weeks
of the campaign, which was a mod
est figure.
When the delegation was leaving,

Editor: After reading the article
on General Hospital a few weeks
ago, felt I should commend Super
intendent Pollard and his staff of
doctors and nurses for the wonder
full service they rendered me. After
knowing no one for four days and
being given up, his staff recalled me
back to life. am 70 years old, and
it was the first time in my life I
was belfast. / was there three
weeks, and had an operation I never
knew could be performed. I feel
better now than I have felt for 20
years. There is no way for me to
express my thoughts of kindness to
DR.. Pollard and his staff. There
never was a cross word spoken to
me. I learned many things there
that are a great help to me in my
profession, so would like to give
thanks again as my life has been
prolonged.
