WAS NOT ABOUT TO WIN

In the fall of 1913, Admiral Carl
Qoenitz, head of the German Navy, adj
mitted that American and British techni-
cal advantages had defeated his U-boat
campaign.
The information is contained in let
ter written by the Nazi naval leader to a
prominent German scientist, appealing for
an effort to make good our scientific dis
PARTIES" and thereby restore to the T.
boat its fighting qualities"
We call attention to this item because
there were in the United States, at about
the same time, number of public state
ments intimating that the U-boat was about
to win the war for Germany

JESUS WALKS ON
THE SEA

His disciples went down unto
the. sea, and entered into a ship
and went over the sea toward Gu
pernaum. And zitoWas. now dark
and Jesus was. not come to them.
And the sea arose by reason of q
great wind that blew.
So when they had rowed about
five and twenty or thirty fur
longs, they see Jesus walking on
the sea, and drawing nigh unto
the ship: and they were afraid.
But he saith unto them, 1t is I,
be not afraid.
Then they willingly received
him into the ship: and immediate
ly the ship was at the land with
er they went.

COMING UP AGAIN

We see articles in the newspapers
constantly and, we presume, there are re-
peated discussions on the air waves, about
our military secrets connected with the
atomic bomb.
We doubt if the public is very much
concerned with, the issue which seems to
stir up the imaginations of the reporters
and commentators. Recently, Secretary of
State SB{rnes said that the know-how of
atomic bomb production remains an ex-
elusive United states secret and, two days
later President Truman expressed the
opinion that the secrets are safe
These reassurances will lull the issue
to sleep for few days. Thereafter, when
ever news gets little bit scarce, you will
read and hear lot more about the activity
of spies in connection with the atomic
bomb.

CALDWELL-LEE TIFF

In the Monroe county courthouse, it
was said that Comptroller J. M. Lee appar-
emily has made it point to oppose every
proposal regarding Monroe county bonds
that has come up before the State Board of
Administration, but, judging from what
Governor Caldwell said Tuesday, Mr.. Lee
has taken a similar stand on almost all
other matters that has come before the
board. poLMgsae 2
The governor declared that the
comptroller. as secretary of the board, has
caused ''interminable delays" in putting
into effect decisions that the board has
made particularly when he (Lee) had
voted against" the adoption of almost any
proposal.
We have heard Comptroller Lee COM

straight-shooter, all of which is commend

when he causes "interminable delays of

put into effect.

dents of Monroe county particularly and
the residents of the remainder of the state
generally, to decrease the interest on the

Coffee Bank Records
Received by Probers
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

A Senate War Investigating Com
mittee aid said today that Repre-
sentative Coffee, Democrat. Of
Washington has furnished the COM
mittee the records of his account in
the Puget Sound National Bank OF
Tacoma.
The committee asked for the rec
ords in the course of it's ipvestiga-
tion of Mr.. Coffee's receipt from
Eivind Anderson, a Tacoma war
contractor, of $4,000 which Mr.. Cof-
fee said was campaign contribu-
ton. The House member said Mr..
Anderson gave the money to his
former secretary, Paul A. Olson, but
acknowledged he had failed to list
1t in either his income tax returns
or election contribution reports.
James P. McGranery, assistant to
the Attorney General, testified to
the committee that the statute of
limitations barred any prosecutions
in connection with the transaction
The committee aid, Frances D.
Flanagan, said it was doubtful that
the committee would take any fur
ther action in the matter. He said
he believed subpoena had been
issued to the bank to produce the
records, but observed that in view
of their receipt from Mr.. Coffee
there would be no point in pressing
the bank for the papers. Mr.. Flan-
agan said the records were received
about a week ago.
