The Never-E Ending
Hopes of Parents

10 the desk of Col. George F, Herbert.
chief OF the casualty branch of the
adJutant general, comes the never end
ing pleas of grief-stricken parents or
wives seeking additional word of the
missing.
The predominant hope of the
parents" he said. "is that their boy is
suffering from amnesia and is wandering
around, or is in an American hospital
unable to identify himself.
I'VE have no unidentified amnesia
victims in our hospitals. We can estab-
hsh Identities without difficulty through
fingerprints or dental charts"
AS for American soldiers wandering
about IN foreign countries, Col. Herbert
thinks this improbable. The soldier
would be conspicuous to the authorities:
ne would be unable to speak their
language like the natives, and the in
habitants would probably turn him over
to the American forces in hope of a
reward.
few soldiers who are AWOL prob
ably are being carried as missing by the
War Department. he said, but there is
little hope that the majority will be
found alive.
Search parties eventually may find
isolated graves of soldiers who fell far
from their comrades and were buried
by kindly inhabitants, although still
carried as missing. But in the jungles
OF the Southern Pacific, he considers it
unlikely the bodies will be recovered.
OF the Army's $4,000 missing who have
been declared dead, only 5000 graves
have thus far been found.

The Germans and Italians were fairly
prompt in reporting prisoners through
the International Red Cross, but two
Americans who had been aiding the
underground when captured were kept
by the Germans without being reported
for over a year. The Japanese, how
ever, rarely were prompt in their reports
OF prisoners, and in many instances
failed entirely to report their capture. -

A tremendous search was inaugurated

officially give up the search. Passengers

every part of the world on which the
servicemen fought or flew over. The
Navy has sent search parties to the

Prison camps have been cleared of Allied

to the year 1876, which happened to be

In this connection, in its issue of Feb

to this legislation and suggested that it

generally observed by the American

According to the 1910 census,
the population of Puerto Rico was
1,86O,255. About one-quarter of
the population is colored, although

unknown until the United States

WHAT IS WOMANS RESPONSIBILITY IN TODAY'S

See Extension Of
Democracy In Choice
Of Puerto Rican Gov.

Washington, d. C. = CNNPA)
- Selection by President Truman
of Jesus T. Pinero, a native Puer-
to Ricann, to succeed ReXford
G. Tugwell as governor of Puerto
Rico is seen in informed circles
here as an extension of the demo-
cratic principle of self-govern-
ment among dependent peoples
which may be extended eventually
to the Virgin Islands.
In reply to a question, Presi-
dent Truman told his news con-
ference last Thursday that Pin
eros appointment meant the
President wants the Puerto Rican
people to have great snare OF
their own government. He sug-
gested that the reporter asking
the question read a message he
sent to Congress on this. subject.
Discussing territories and in
sular possessions, the President
in his message on the state of
the Union, sent to Congress in
January, declared that the United
States is committed to the demo-
cAatic principle that repfndent
peoples should decide for them
selves what their status shall be-
To that end he recommended
that Congress provide means by
which the Puerto Rican people
might choose their form of gov
eminent and ultimate status with
respect to the United Staes. He
also recommended statehood for
Hawaii and that the people of
the Virgin Islands be given an in
creasing measure of self-govern-
ment.
During the Senate hearings on
tht nomination of William II. Has
tie to be governor of the Virgin
Islands, natives Of that insular
possession repeatedly took the po-
sition that the appointment of Mr..
HASTE as governor was the next
best thing to appointment of an
islander to that position.
Mr.. Pinero would be the first
Puerto Rican selected as governor
since United States troops land
ed in Puerto Rico in 1898 at the
time of the Spanish-American
War. Since then governors have
all been residents Of the United
States mainland.

Rico in 1897. A farmer by call

Again, how do all these problems effect and
where in lies womons responsibility with reference to
them?
Primarily it is women who are the mothers of these
men who pursue their moral and their mistaken ideoIs
mothers of the men who make ond peace and evouote
their lives through history religion and philosophy 1t is
who ore the wives daughters and mothers of these
men who advance and retod the progress Of civilization
while Investigating the moreIs of scientific phenomena
Therefore it is womon's responsibility to realize that
in surent plans for world cooperation, every nation and
every citizen is involved that world peace will depend
upon the cooperation of all and in any land
as we'll the cooperation of men and women in all lands
1t is womons responsibility to ocquoint herself with
the condition in the United Nations Charter to rereod
and rentepre the Constitution of the United Stotes Of
America and to reevouote her rights and the rights
of every United States citizen in the light of these two
invaluable contributions.
Filthy, it is the duty of every woman in every city
of every state connect herself with local religious and
civic organizations which will study and interpret to the
Just how these universal problems that sometimes
seem very "forfetched" indeed reilly sift down in dem
ocrotc nation each individual citizen For through
politics we vote for our representatives. Through
economic system the problems Of industry, capitol Ia
bor wages and production effect consumption Of
food and needed materials and fnoIy effect the needs
and ambitions Of every individual citizen.
1t is oIso the responsibility of woman housewife,
to check the onset Of noton and of black moketeeng
She should refuse pay the exhorbtont prices often
charged for food, clothing and household articles and
should buy soneI, economically and with consideration
of the needs Of Others at soes and when prices
normally reasonable.
Briefly, is womons responsibility in postwar world
to realize her part in plans for world cooperation to know
her RIGHTS and those Of others United States citizen
and United Motions World citizen, and to help stabilize

Finally is the responsibility Of all women voters
under the Nineteenth Amendment Of Nations Con-
sttuton to lobby for fair and democratic rights Of all
the people, and for the Christian treatment of oil citizens
of this country in order that Internal harmony may be
preserved and so that foreign enemies may not breok

 He said he was hacked in his be- lief by police officials and was cer- tain that the proposal would not save any appreciable amount of bituminous coal.
 The order, issued by Oivilian Production Administrator John b. Small. called for the dimout M0n- day as Q conservation measure in 2i eastern states and in Washing ton. D. c.
 Unaffected by the order was the state of Maine where much of the electrical power is furnished by hy- ro-electric plants. All other New England states were affected.
