U. s. TROOPS IN INDIA

Excerpt from letter sent by a U. s. sergeant in India. How pathetic it is to see grown men exiled by their own people. am the first sergeant of group of men here in India. It is up to me to help keep the morale of the men up There is no work to do, so l try to organize games to keep their minds busy. But it is up to the people back home to see that they, at least, have hopes of something to look forward to-some definite information instead of depressing rumors.

 Officials point out, however, that several hundred horses are slaught- cred weekly all over the United States to feed the zoos of the na- tion. Furthermore, the United States today has larger surplus of horses than ever before in his tory. Agriculture Department esti- mates are that 3,000,000 surplus horses are now on the ranges and farms of the country. The grain which they alone consume would go Q long way toward feeding Europe.
 Officials estimate that these B. 100000 surplus horses would sup ply a total of two and half bil- lion pounds of meat, also give fats for soap, together with hides to ease the scarcity of leather.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, APRIL II
HEART AND HOME

 The stars are friendly to the handicapped and shut-ins and promise renewed strength and hope to the aggrieved and disconsolate. Parents and guardians are also un- der favorable influences.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Manpower will be major prob lem with many during the next several months as restless veterans shift around in an effort to find their rightful places in world that has undergone great change since they were called away from homes and jobs to fight for their country.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Shorter work weeks, as well as substantial increases in pay will be sought by organized labor in de- mands to be made in the second wave of postwar labor difficulties, which will further harass the na- ton later this year and next year according to present signs. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Further tests of UNO's ability to cope with the snarls and politics that threaten world peace will find that organization equal to the chal- lenge in every case; but that does rot mean there will be no crises in it's slow growth from infancy to maturity which must come from experience.
 Those whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of unexpected opportunities to serve others, with handsome returns in satisfaction and peace of mind.
 Children born today will be bright pupils, unusually capable in enter prises requiring analytical think ing and intense concentration. They have the inherent qualities of leadership. Often stubborn and sometimes rebellious in their early years, they will bring these traits into proper balance later. Copyright, 1946)

RuMpTIous GENERAL VAUGHN

Twelve years ago, famous Fili- pino General Emilio Aguinaldo sent President Roosevelt nine and one-half foot carved table of Philippine hardwood designed to serve as a Cabinet table. It was so large, however, that it couldn't get through the doors of the Cab met room and has remained in the main executive office lobby ever since.
 The table is a beautiful piece of workmanship with four large carv- ed buffalo heads originally at tached to the four legs. For many years these buffalo heads were ad- nlired by all White House visitors even though someone occasionally bumped their knees against them.
 The other morning, however, Brig. Gen. Harry Vaughn, White House military aide, hurrying through the White House lobby, al- so bumped his knee on buffalo. Promptly the four carved buffalo heads came off. It mattered not that the table was present from the Philippines most famous lead CT in token of his long withheld friendship to the UlS,A. General

Realists on Atomic Policy
(St. Louis Star -Times)


 Dr. Harlow Shapley of Harvard University and Dr. Harold Urey of the University of Chicago making it clear in public appearances that they impatient with the small minds which think of the discov cries in atomic fission in strictly military terms To think along these lines is to think of total destruction for our civilization Thus, they speak for the scen tists and others who contend that research nucear physics control of atomic materials must be in civilian hands.
 For some time now Congress has been considering legislation up peacetime policy for control and further study of atomic energy It has before the McMahon bill which would create five-man com- mission to control fashionable materials, etc This already has the detailed approval of President Tru- man. It ought to be adopted without further delay.
 America must think about atomic power not only as weapon of war but also instrument of peace ful progress. And thinking must lead to sensible action The chief trouble is that after the first great shock of the bomb, the problem has been slipping toward the back of the national mind We are in danger of neglecting it-and atomic power cannot be neglected Neither the ostrich attitude nor the Polly anna frame of mind be tolerated unless we are resigned to a disastrously rude awakening.
 Our scientists must set to work to discover all the potentialties of their discovery and policies at home and abroad must be shaped accordingly There no sense just pulling down the shades and whisper ing Hush! Hushl"

Exciting Quarter
Fourth quarter highlights
were the most exciting of the
game. Pascagoula's best chance
at another score came in the first
part Of the period. Five or six
plays after the quarter started
the PaScagoula boys showed the
ball up TO the seventeen yard
stripe and Rocky Byrd's forward
pass to Jerry Pnrdy was inter.
cepted " a Biloxi player, who
then fumbled the ball. The play
was called "touchbaek' and the
pigskin went over TO Biloxi on
the twenty yard marker.
Tha. was the most controver-
sial play of the season SO far.
Many spectators seemed to think
that the Biloxi man intercepted
the bal, in the playing field ard
was tackled by Purdy in the end
zone. and that the Panthers
should have been given two
points---two points that would
have ctinched the game for them.
Officials say the ball was grab

but still over the goal, giving the

cision against an extra two points.

stated, and whether the Tigers
can crack the win column in
their fifth try for the season is
a matter of speculation and de-
pends largely on the breaks.
