washington housewives are luckier
than those in some other localities.
In that, while they will find little
meat for sale this week end, there
will be an abundance of fresh fish.
Eggs, too, are plentiful, and lower
still in price. With these two stand
bys available IN good supply, nutri-
ton needs can be met adequately
Monotony, of course, is another side
to the picture, but If monotony is all
we have to complain Of, we have a
lot to be thankful for.
The easing of the restrictions on
chickens from the Delmarva area
should insure reasonable supply of
hroilers for Washington consump-
tion-not profusion, by any means,
but more at least than we have seen
since the embargo went into effect,
Whether or not we will see results as
early as the week end seems a bit
doubtful-but it won't be long now
before there's decided Improvement
In the situation. There are hopes of
more ducks, too, in the near future
they have been very scarce of late.
And as for squads. it's the "off"
month for them-the season when
squads are scarcest of all.
To get back to facts on the fish
lme-up, there should be bountiful
supplies OF both roe and buck shad.
and, of course, the roes selling by
the pair if you don't want the fish
Itself. Rockflsh and sea bass are rec
commended, as are king and Spanish
mackerel, fresh founders, trout, por-
gies and croakers. Shrimp is almost
nonexlstent and crab meat continues
scarce and high. There are fine
clans and lobster at the fancier
dealers. All the fllleted fish will be
on hand this week-more than we
nave seen for some time.
Asparagus, having made news
once or twice, has not attained more
popularity because of it's high price.
Many dealers will have nothing to
40 with it until prices drop. And
that goes for the housewives, too.
Inc qulck-frozen variety does

Truly the wrath of God is being
revealed to us in these days OF
war. Let us turn to God and seek
his mercy before it is everlasting
too late.
My father, who is dead and gone
to glory according to the scripture,
was = very kind and loving father,
and yet there were days when his
wrath was revealed when We chill
dren too often and too many times
would do things which we're not
pleasing in his sight. The same
Is true Of the Holy God as he
offers us the good things and we
reject them, then the wrath OF God
Is revealed.
Yes, it Is true there are many
people today asking why this war
Is, why did my son have to 60 to
the army. May say to you there
are many questions no religious
or Christian leader will ever be
able to answer
Yes, the mysteries belong TO God.
But We believe that Christ died
for our sins and we teach our chill
dren to accept him as their own
personal Saviour.
The things we do not under
stand today We believe will be made
palmer tomorrow Let us pray
earnestly for every boy and girl
who is in service that God will
bless them until there will be peace
for . little while. until the time
they can be at home again.
The Jews used to say "let's pray
that Gods wrath will be turned
away and his mercy will be turned
instead upon us" This is my
prayer.

paper free to service men and
women If you will send US their
names and addresses.

WHO'S Who Terminal
AT National Airport
Host 10 Worlds Great

The Nations "Whos Who" air
terminal at the National Airport
Army Air Base was opened for a
press tour yesterday. and reporters
and photographers for the first time
saw the facilities used by every
body who is anybody in interna-
tional air travel.
Completed at Gravelly Point for
the Air Transport Command at a
cost of $500, 900, the four building
center is said to have provided the
flrst complete international air ter
minal set-up in this country. 1t Is
the Air Transport Commands main
hub and thus the aviation travel
center Of the wartime worlds elite.
Model for Others.
Through it are routed not only
famous political, military and
diplomatic personages, but GIs,
wounded servicemen, blood plasma
and other military cargo for all the
distant war zones.
Designed as model for similar
bases in the postwar age OF flight,
1t is contemplated that the terminal
will revert to the Civil Aeronautics
Authority after the war.
Under command of Col. Frank H.
Collins, the base has served such
noted persons as Lord Halifax, the
late Sir John Dill, Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, British Gen. Sir Henry Matt
land Wilson and probably more
American general officers than any
other airport in the world.
Most of the flights out Of the
base are custom jobs unscheduled
until the necessity for the trip arises
and then arranged specially and
frequently at short notice.
Pilots All Veterans.
The "A pilots in the bases pool
all have had more than 1000 flying
hours in commercial aircraft, and
their age averages SO wears. One.
Maj Fred Kelly, has a phenomenal
$4,000 flying hours to his credit.
ATC pilots now are flying $4,000. 900
miles month on routes totaling
165 900 miles and the flyers at the
Washington base account for their
share. The base operates around
the clock and Col. Collins at any
moment may receive orders to set
up a flight to Moscow. Chungkine,
London or Paris, or anywhere else
in the world. for that matter.
Then it's his responsibility to pick
the crews, see that the planes are in
top condition. choose the routes ac-
cording to weather conditions and
get the flights of on time and at
their destination safely. So far not
a life has been lost on any trip
from the base.

DR.. Fisher Confirmed
For Canterbury Post

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-The election OF
the Right Rev. Geoffrey Fisher as
Archbishop Of Canterbury was Of
ficially confirmed yesterday-despite
objection by gray-haired man who
interrupted the ceremony In the
crypt of st. Paul's Cathedral.
The man. who later identified
himself as Edmund Slocock, 10, Of
the Isle Of Wight. rose from the
congregation and said:
Il would like to say this appoint
ment does not meet with Heavens
approval because, as I told the
Prime Minister, God cannot and
will not approve OF preferment Of
those who believe merely In policies
of compromise"
None Of the archbishops or bis
hops sitting at the long open table
made any attempt to restrain the
speaker.
Then he sat down and the cere-
mony continued.
With the confirmation of his elec-
ton, DR.. Fisher officially becomes
archbishop, although he will not be
lenthroned until after Easter.

Court Orders Stinson
To Appear tuesday

A petition for a writ of habeas
corpus seeking release of Joseph w
Stinson, 81. from GallingeP Hospital
and claiming that his arrest on
January Is and subsequent detention
were unlawful, was filed yesterday in
District Court. Shortly afterward
Justice James w. Morris signed an
order instructing that Mr.. Stinson
be produced in court at 10 m. next
Tuesday.
The petition was filed in Mr.. Stin-
sons behalf by Attorney j. Bernard
Flaherty
Mr.. Stinson recently was married
to Mrs. Violet Biddle Stinson, IS.
Mr.. Stinson was arrested on Janu-
ary Is by detectives after he had
sent abusive" letters to high Gov
eminent officials, another letter to
Police Supt. Edward j. Kelly and
several letters to police officers Of
the third precinct, police say.
Prior to the arrest, police said he
had made telephone calls to the
White House, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and to a detective
agency.
The petition for 4 habeas corpus
declares Mr.. Stinson is not charged
with any violation. 1t asks that Mr..
Stinson be freed on bond pending
hearing on the writ.

leo, Utah, Wyoming and Texas are
urging ratification: Nevada is more
or less neutral; California is ac-
lively opposed.
CALIFORNIA; S opposition is to pro-
vision of the treaty guaranteeing
to Mexico in perpetuity certain
share of the water of the Colorado
which flows its last hundred miles
through Mexican territory. The
amount fixed in the treaty is L.
100000 acre-feet, which is 300, 900
feet less than was used by Mexico
In 1943 This seems reasonable to
the other States affected, but not to
California. None of the rivers wa
ter originates in California, but a
fair share of the flow is diverted
to that States use as it meanders
for 200 miles along the Arizona
California border before flowing into
Mexico. Under a compact with the
other States named "a compact pro-
tected by the treaty., California is
already guaranteed 100000 acre
feet.
Opposition Is Puzzle.
To say that the State Department
is annoyed with California would
not be an overstatement. Consid-
ering the treaty just to every one
concerned, the department doesn't
like the prospect of entering the
coming Pan-American Conference
in Mexico City, February IS. unable
to defend this country's dealings
with Mexico in the matter But it
can only hope that the storm stirred
up in California, chiefly by the
Hearst press, will not prevent ac-
tion by the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee and the Senate It
self before the date of the confer
ence.
The department confesses itself
puzzled by the nature Of the case
which Californias spokesmen. in
cluding her two Senators. have
sought to make against the treaty
and even more puzzled by the
Hearst campaign, since the Hearst
interests are among the principal
owners of land which, at some fu-
ture date, might be damaged through
excessive Withdrawals of water by
Mexico if there Is no treaty control.
The fairness Of the ALLEGATION is
not being challenged before the
Senate committee, nor Is Mexico's
right to claim this small part of the
total for its uses. Instead, the effort
Is made to present the issIe as one
involving extension of Federal bu-
reaucracy." Federal encroachment
on the jurisdiction of the States"
and the creation of an all-powerful
Federal bureau which would WELD
judicial. administrative and regula-
tory power d.
Governed by Commission.
Curiously enough. the six States
supporting the treaty do not share in
these fears. They regard these as
sertions as merely a smoke screen
concealing the real reasons-what-
ever they may be These other
States are not exactly naive. The
present pact covering the use Of the
Colorado's water was not arrived at
back in 1922 until each of the States
had fought all the others for its own
full rights and until each had been
convinced down to the last semi
colon and comma.
The alleged encroachment of
States rights grows out of the fact
that administration of the treaty
would be given to the international
Boundary Commission But the
Boundary Commission could only
handle questions developing between
Mexico and the United States. 1t
could not alter the terms of the
treaty and could not touch in any
way on relations beween the various
States.
