 Soon, the Navy says, it will be possible for naval officers and men, when not duty to make social calls by shipto-shore telephone service while their vessels are at sea For the present service will be limited to craft within fifty miles of shore stations but ultimately it may be expanded so that it can be shared by ships anywhere in the world Such an arrangement, it is suggested will boost morale and make service in the Navy attractive

ABOUT HELPING GERMANY

The United States Military Govern
ment in Germany has the double job of
enforcing peace terms and keeping order.
Consequently, it is vitality interested in the
food situation, knowing that disorder will
inevitably follow starvation.
In discussing the situation with form
er President Herbert Hoover, American
officials insist that food must be imported
in order to assist the recovery of German
economy which is vital to recovery of
Europe. Obviously, say the experts, "a
population which must devote it's full
effort to the daily search for food can
not develop political stability.
The economic recovery of Germany
sis almost at a stand-still", declared the
food expert of our military organization.
They go further to point out that the trans
port facilities of Germany are required to
move supplies across Europe and that Ger
man workmen must be used to keep trans
port moving.
There will be some Americans to in
sist that the Germans be allowed to stew
in their own juice. They will point out
that the plight of the German people is
a direct result of the Nazi effort to dom
mate the world In this, they will be right
Nevertheless, nothing will be gained by
letting the German people suffer if this
means that millions of other people, many
the innocent victims of Nazi aggression,
suffer unduly.
We have no idea that the Germans
should be punished in spirit of revenge,
although they must bear heavy burden
of suffering as a result of their country's
aggression. The sole test of our attitude
toward Germany, and the Germans, in
our opinion, should be the effect of our
assistance upon the other peoples of
Europe. If helping the Germans will help
them, and create stable economic and
political conditions throughout Europe,
then the proper course is to help the Ger
mans.

EMPEROR MAY BECOME CHRISTIAN

A Japanese Christian minister from
Osaka recently told group OF people al
Des Moines that the japanese emperor is
studying Christianity in the near future
lie predicted that the japanese people,
looking for "a new religion, might follow
he emperor's lead.
This il an interesting report because,
undoubtedly, the Christian religion can do
much for the japanese people. The suS~
Festion tina. thousands of Japanese will
follow the emperor's leadership and en-
brace the new religion" brings to mind
the practice of ancient times when the
religion of nation was the religion of the
king or emperor.
II will be remembered that Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek, Chinese war lead
er. whose wife was educated in this
country and a Christian, studied the
Christian religion and decided to become
a Christian. There is no indication, how
ever. that there has been anything like a
mass movement of Chinese to follow his
example.
The best thing that the Christians
can expect of the emperor, if he elects to
accept Christianity, is that his example in
studying their religion, will encourage
others to do likewise. 1t is only through
individual study and personal conviction
that religion makes bona fide and per-
manent gains
The discussion is based on news
paper report of the prediction of a Jap
anese Christian minister, but so far there
l. no intimaton from Japan that he is
correct.

BOMB TEST ON JULY 1ST

The atomic bomb task force is ex-
April 30th for corporations Crossroads"
for the test to be made at Bikini Atoll.
The first test is scheduled for July 1st
and it is believed that at least three-score
Congressman will be in the party viewing
the explosion of the bombs Some seventy
seven of the one hundred target ships, in
Guiding five battleships, will be used and
as many as survive will appear in the
second test.
The first bomb will be exploded 100
feet or more above the armada. The sec
ond will be exploded at the waters sur
face. No new design in armor or protec-
tive measures are being used as the pur-
pose of the test is to gauge the ability
of ships and equipment as they now exist
to withstand the bombs explosion.
All types of ground equipment, used
by the Army, will be tested Heavy and
light tanks, jeeps, trucks, guns, ducks"
crash trucks, airplane fuselages, airplane
engines and other equipment will be lash
ships.
After the tests have been made and
the experts have assessed the full effects
of the bombs, it is expected that naval
engineers and scientists will consider the
task of redesigning vessels, turrets and
STACEY in order to meet the challenge of
the terrific explosive force.

Instinctively he threw himself to

shattered as Rush fell half into the

toppled slowly, falling through

Rush felt hands slap his pockets

Two rope ends appeared and tied
his hands behind his back. The

AVOID FAME AND LIVE!

If you want to live to a ripe old age
set your mind against the limelight of
fame and forget the effort to achieve a
reputation that classes you with the great
and near-great.
This advice is based on the report
81 Or. Mapheus Smith, sociologist for the
Selective Service System, who studied the
life history of those included in "Who's
Who i'm America" and discovered that the
vast majority of them did not reach the
age promised by life expectancy tables
Mr.. Smith thinks that the "feverish-
ness" of modern times, the strain on those
occupying public places and the worry
that attaches to responsibility explain the
fact that the men and women who achieve
regulations are dying close to the age of
fifty.

and Rush twisted in his chair,
reaching for his jacket pocket.
Quietly he extracted the silver
of glass and brought it behind
his back, working quickly to
force it between the ropes and
his wrist. 1t was blind work and
he soon felt blood dripping down
onto his hands. With the tips of
his fingers he pushed the glass
up and pulled it back. saving
desperately at the rope which
bound his wrists.
The cigar end moved toward
her forehead as Rush felt the
ropes behind him give. He slipped
the glass to the seat behind him
and wiped his bloody hands on
the tail of his coat. Their he
reached for the blackjack the
searcher had missed. With careful
eyes he measured the distance be-
tween himself and Slippy who
stood watching Jago, his gun held
loosely at his side. Leslie screamed
and in the silence that followed,
Rush was across the room. His
blackjack descended in lashing
blow at Slippy's temple. his other
hand grabbed for the gun, got it
and held it at point. He backed
away toward the wall.

BOOSTING GOVERNMENT SALARIES

There are a lot of politicians serving
the Government in top posts receiving
$4,000 a year. Congress is putting the
OK. on the continuance of those high
salaries. The House of Representatives
recently voted to give a S4OO yearly pay
Increase to each of 100000 Government
employees. A sort of face-saver was
sprung at the same time in Congress when
bill was introduced by Republican Con-
gresham from Illinois that provided for
dropping 100000 Federal workers from
the payroll. That is an oft-repeated sug-
gestlon on Capitol Hill but it never goes
through - apparently just the same old
bluff!
