The W ashington Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON The wars stormiest herr, Gen. George E. Pat ton, was tke center of many controversy before he died. But to- day the War Department is still sitting on one of the hottest of Patton's hot potatoes-the Gener- ale secret diary.
 Only a few people in the War Department and the Patton family know it, but the famous General kept a careful diary all during the Normandy campaign, jotting down his frank comments about the AL lies and even about his superior officers. Some of the comments just about burned up the page.
 General Patton especially paid his compliments to the famous British Field Marshal, Montgomery, whom he criticized with almost the same bluntness as the soldier in the Sicilian hospital whom he slap ped.
 Patton felt that Montgomery was entirely too slow and cautious, and that the war could have been won months earlier if the British had been willing to take the same losses as the Americans.
 Only four copies of the diary are in existence and the War Depart ment to date has frowned upon publication. Should it ever see the light of day, the American public will probably read some crisp com ments regarding Patton's lightning rush across France almost to the border of Germany and the real reason he had to stop.
 Official explanation at the time was that he had run out of gaso- line. However, it will be shown that the real reason was General Eisen- hower,s decision to wait for the slower British. Marshal Montgom- cry had not yet decided to move, and it was not considered polite to leave this famous Field Mar 
 shal so far behind.
 PATTON FAMILY SAYS NO
 General Patton also has some caustic things to say about General Eisenhower and the whole SHAEF operations.
 Another phase of Patton's his- tory which should make significant reading is the manner in which he crossed the Rhine on March 22, l945, establishing bridgehead of eight miles in the space of a few short hours. This operation, ac- complished with only one small army and few casualties, attracted little attention in the press.
 But meanwhile, Marshal Mont

Marshall Has Hopes ol Agreement Between

LLETIN Chungking, April 29.--The utmost powers of Gen. Marshall have not been enough to bridge the differ ences between the Chinese Communist and the National Government and the settlement If the Manchurian civil war faces an indefinite delay.
 Informed Chinese sources said Chiang Kai-shek has re- jccted the Democratic League proposal for the cease fire" agreement which would leave the Communists in possession of a large part of Manchuria.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-04-29

CE1ONN1hlN1 Aplll zS-lfilOi HlCQ Chinese sources said tonight that GeneraLssimo Chiang Kai-shek, Communist General Chou En-lai and U s. General George Mar shall had failed to reach an agree ment that would halt fighting in Manchuria. They have been con- fcrring constantly.
 Negotiations will be transferred to Marking, where the capital is transferring this week, these sourc- es declared.
 Mars all was expected to fly to Nankin tomorrow, with Chou and Chiang following later in the week.
 Maisifsifs Headquarters still were silent regarding progress of the negotiations with Chou En-lai, who it is reported had rejected Demo- cratic League formula for truce in Manchuria, where the Communists are in control of Harbin and Changchun, the capital.
 Marshall met with Chou this morning and Chiang later. A possi- hility that negotiations may reach an acceptable plan before leaving Chungking still existed, however, since Marshall is spending every available minute in conference with the two leaders.

CAPT. BARTLETT, : NOTED EXPLORER,
 DIES IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, April 29.--Robert Abram Captain Bob) Bartlett, TO, noted explorer who was colleague of Admiral Robert E. Peary in his 1909 discovery of the North Pole and who "commuted" to the Arctic for 40 years, died here yesterday.
 Capt. Bartlett never reached the Pole himself-although he took Peary within dog-sled distance of it.
 He first achieved fame as skip per of the vessel on which Admir- al Peary sailed for his historic trip to the Pole. The dash to the Pole was made with the aid of series of supporting parties, the last of which was commanded by Bartlett.
 Tn the winter of 1913-14, Bartlett was the central figure in an Arctic disaster which came close to cut ting short his career when he went with the explorer Vilhjalmur Stef- ansson through the Boring Straits. Bartlett's ship was crushed to piec- es by ice floes. but he led his party to safety on an island, and then made a perilous journey across the ice and down the Siberian Main land for help-1,000 miles away.
 KNOWN ON COAST
 SEATTLE, April 29-Capt. Ro- bert A. (Bob) Bartlett was we'll known among seafarers and fisher men who have spent much time in the waters around Alaska. Bartlett visited here twice i'll the course of his career as an Arctic specialist. He spent several weeks here in 1924 while preparing the famed old Coast Guard Cutter Bear for trip to the coasts of the Bering Sea to lay out possible air routes.
 In April 1928 he went, to Alaska and the Siberian Arctic on search for traces of early man. The ex- petition returned in September of that year with complete studies of prehistoric and living racial types in the Far North.

More Volunteers Required
For Servicemen's S Centers

Although 10000 more servicemen
used the facilities of Recreation
Services, Inc. in the first six months
of this year than in the first half
of 1945, the increase was accompa-
MED by a corresponding decline in
the number of volunteer workers in
two categories, Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, president of the recreation
group, revealed yesterday in the or
ganization's semi-annual report.
According to tabulations kept at
the various servicemens centers,
!, ,191 1913 used the facilities this year
through June, while 1,050,408 were
recorded the previous year. The
number OF volunteer tours of duty
fell from 25,575 in 1945 to 18,432
this year. The drop in the number
of junior volunteer tours of duty
was from 128,7o0 to 1862.
'These figures indicate the prob
lem OF providing recreation for the
boys is still as great as ever" Mrs.
Doyle said, adding that tire need is
so critical as to necessitate another
call for women volunteer workers
for part-time work in recreation and
service centers.
Mrs. Doyle said major reduction
OF services included the closing of
several free-bed centers, as demand
for beds decreased, and the closing
of Service Club No. l. The nursery
in the United Nations Service Gen.

Writer Follows Westward Trail
Covered by Parents in Eighties
By Jessie Font Evons

POCATELLO, Idaho, Aug. Sit
is a moving experience to be back
again in the Far West to which ro-

of high adventure drew my Vir-

Immediately after their marriage in
Washington.
Their final destination, the Fort
Hall Indian reservation, which is
near Pocatello, could be reached in
those days only by the stage coach
which connected with the Union
Pacific Railroad at Pocatello. In
this land I was born in the log
cabin, which was infinite luxury in
contrast to an Indian tepee or any
Army tent. 1t had been fashioned
with great care and genuine affec-
ton especially for "the little Eastern
bride" who became my mother.
Today, 1t Is with humility that I
find myself in this environment of
which my mother and my father,
Joseph Nicholas FAINT, then an
Indian teacher here, were once a
vital part. 1t is difficult, even with
the yardstick of returning memor-
les, to realize the tremendous ad-
justments in living which they and
others made.
Challenge Still Persists.
Today the challenge they faced
still persists on the more than 5O0,-

That Costs You No More
Today Than it Did
90 YEARS AGO

Although your cost of living has steadily in
creased, here is one thing-an important thing
in your lfe-that actually costs you no more
today than it did twenty years ago. It's your
telephone!
This record of low cost performance, in these
times of rising prices, is enough alone to stand
out like a beacon in the night.
In addition the service has greatly expanded
and as more telephones have been added the
relative cost of the user has steadily declined.
Today you can reach many more people by tele-
phonetic better to serve your needs for bust
ness or personal use.
This reeord-which stands out as an achieve
ment-is becoming more and more difficult to
maintain as the costs of everything going into
the furnishing Of telephone service continue to
rise.
