that this would be something quite novel.
 It may be something like insist ing that fellow who never be- fore in his life has jumped more than ten feet must jump twenty feet. But if he feels he just has to jump twenty feet, if deep chaSm lies before him, and some thing pretty hungry is chasing him, twenty feet is still one hell of jump-but because he has no easy alternative, it's not impos- sible. We'll, the world has no easy alternative about atomic energy that I can see. But considering how unattractive are the alterna- tives, I don't believe that the twenty-foot broadjump is out of the question, and I doubt if you do either.
 The averting of war and the maintenance of peace are tradi- tionally described as political problems, or as it is sometimes put, "TheSe are matters calling for political decisions, reached and carried out by political methods" Typical political methods in do-v meStic affairs as well as interna- tional relations are quite familiar to all of us Their practitioners sometimes include business, labor and farm leaders, as well as poli- ticians and Statesmen-even, once in a while a scientist. And when a scientist goes in for political dog matism, he can make a politician look scientific by comparison!
 The political method, generally speaking, is based on the process of first deciding what the answer you and your side wants, and then Scurrying around for evidence and arguments and public opinion and fore to support the answer you started with in the first place Po- litical methods-I am oversimpli- flying bit, but not much-are based on three procedures so far as the people are concerned as follows:
 First-Tell the people what you know they want to hear-regard- less of the facts. This gives great scope for orators, sloganmakers, and dogmatists.
 Second-Tell the people what YOU want them to hear-regard- less of the facts. This is the tech nique of the well-poisoner.
 Third-Tell 'em nothing, and make 'em like it. This is an an- cien tart, but it's modern practi- tioners have brought it to a new high level.
 Political methods are generally quite in contrast to the scientific spirit and method. In his Novum Organum, Francis Bacon said many years ago: ''We cannot conn.,. mand Nature except by obeying her" The scientist, essentially humble man, obeys Nature by honestly observing and then truthfully recording NOT what he WANTS to find, but what in truth he DOES find. The essence of the scientific method and spirit to me "a layman-is that it does not start with the answer, but with the facts, and draws its insight and itS n1 arfnneS fr0nn the factA

 Whether Interior Secretary Krug and party, due to arrive in Fair banks Monday. would get to visit Anchorage on his 1O-day visit was a mooted question at weeks end. Quarantine was clamped on An chorage this week because of diphtheria epidemic in the com munity. Whether the scourge would be controlled and the ban lifted by the time of the Secre- tary's scheduled arrival remained to be seen.

The U. S. Department of Agri-

10 counties in the Delta area of
Mississippi. The rate is $3.50 per
hundred pounds of cotton picked as
compared with last reasons rate of
S2.10 per hundredweight. The new
rate became effective on Sept. 8.
Wage ceilings are also in effect in
California and Arizona. In the for
mer the rate is $2.25 and in the
latter S2.65 per hundredweight.
A 9,171,0 900 bale cotton crop for
the United States is forecast for
this year by the Crop Reporting

books in demand by Negro occu-
patton troops at the American Red
Cross Pasay Club libary here are
or photography, according to Gla-
dys Wade Powell, Milton, Mass,
who is in charge of the library and
other Red Cross services.
Number two on the list are po-
etry of the nineteenth and TWEEN
tieth centuries Next in demand
are books on job opportunities and
following these came books from
which films have been made. Last
come philosophy and history.
Books most used at the library
dove-tail with club activities Miss
Powell says. For example, after
the opening of the clubs darkroom
and Photographic laboratory, the
demand for books on photography
increased. The demand for poetry
followed the installation of a dream
hout at which classical music is
played and bits of poetry r read.
The Dream Hour has become so
popular that its place of meeting
had to be changed from a small
upstairs room to the large down.
stairs lounge.
"Since the third week of the
Dream Hour all books of poetry
in the library have been in con-
slant use, says Miss Powell. Be
fore that we couldn't induce any
one to use them.
The library has recently installed
more comfortable chairs and a
better lighting system, SO that the
daily attendance is increasing. The
checking out of books is decreas-
ing, however, for the men prefer
to read at the library.
A unique service offered under
Miss Powell's direction is a letter
writing service.
We have very few personal let
tiers to write, she explains. The
main thing we do is to help with
business letters or fill out forms
for the soldiers.

Fig Leaf For Eve" Belmont Pic
lures l~ove-spiced comedy drama
starring the bright new team of
Jan Wiley and Phil Warren, is
penciled in for an opening Midnite
Saturday, October 9Th at the Town
Theatre. Described as a 'keyhole
peek at the experiences Of a night
club girl" the film is said to have
more than its share of racy come
dy, kiss-loaded romance and excl
ting dances.
The screenplay of Fig Leaf For
Eve, follows the career of the
night club dancer after she splits
with her manager because of his
trick of having the police raid
her performances in order to gar
ner front page publicity. Falling in
with the plans of a shady bail
bondsman who collects notices Of
missing persons the dancer poses
as the long-sought heiress of an
extremely wealthy society family.
Her misadventures with her new
relatives" who range from screw
ball to highhat are overwhelmingly
hilarious. When her scheming snon
o begins to force his way into
the picture the story turns to fast
paced drama and winds up with a
climatic murder.
Supporting Jan Wiley and Phil
Warren who have the roles of the
dancer and her flip-talking mana
ger, are Eddie Dunn; Janet Scott;

AM ERICAN LEGION
LOOKS FORWARD

NEW YORK-Trail blazing &C
ton was taken at the meeting of
the State Convention of the Am
erican Legion in Grand Rapids,
Michigan, on August 10Th when it
adopted three progressive resolu-
tons on current issues. Although
Michigan is a state not generally
considered liberal, and the Ameri-
can Legion is hardly noted for its
forward-looking point of view on
current issues, these resolutions
were adopted unanimously by Mi
chigan's Legion members and they
should give other chapters a fine
precedent to follow.
One of the resolutions calls upon
Attorney General Tom Clark and
President Truman to do everything
in their power to stop the present
wave of crime. against the Negro
people in the south and guarantee
all people of our country their de-
mocratic rights of protection.
A second resolution demands
that the poll tax bill may be
brought to the vote since 13 mill
ion people in the United States
r not given the democratic pri-
vilege of franchise, and a minori-
ty group of our statesmen are pro-
hibiting these citizens from their
democratic rights.
The Convention further went on
record in support of the enactment
