In Memoriam

CRAWFORD-In loving memory
of my beloved husband, Howard
E., who passed away six years ago,
February 10, 1910.
God saw the road was getting
rough,
The hills were hard to climb.
He gently closed his loving eyes
And whispered, peace be thine"
His weary hours, his days of pain
His weary nights are past
His ever patient, worn out frame
Has found sweet rest at last.
Devoted wife,
737 NETTIE CRAWFORD

Al good way to tell mushrooms
from toadstools without eating and
waiting for results, is to peel an
onion and put in with the fungi
while cooking. If the onion remains
white, they may be eaten with con-
1idence, but if it turns black, they
are not fit to eat.

To clean white gloves, if very
lightly soiled. rub with cream of
tartar. A piece of flannel dipped
in benzene, and allowed to become
nearly dry before it is applied, is
more effective for really soiled
gloves. After the benzene they
should be rubbed again with bread
crumbs until all stains and dirt
are removed.

True Confessions

Sen Wayne Morse proposes that aT members of the Senate be required file pubic statements of their total yearly earnings and Income including dealings m securities and commodities and the of lawyers the Of clients and fees received MT Morse feels that the public of recent Investigations suspects that sea tors regularly from such be- Ing discussed these days n the pubic press.
 This proposal unoues tonably of honorable intent but the psychology Of It little bad Generally even assumed te be innocent until cused Of being otherwise Thus far haven't noticed accusing senator Of turning dishonest dollar So MT. Morses we alnt done nothln attitude bit superfluous.
 We doubt that Mr Morses resolution will get very far But if it should then logically similar public declarations should be made by members Of the House of Representa- tves the President the Cabinet Supreme Court and other federal justices heads of agencies and of and Navy procurement.
 By the logic there should be public disclosure of the incomes Of every federal state and city official whose position the public payroll carries enough power pres tge to enable him influence in behalf of doing business with federal state and city governments
 This would be bothersome, cumbersome, and somewhat insulting to honest public officials and to those who might have legitimate financial dealings with them It would be unnecessary invasion of privacy. And eventually fear It would bore the public to distraction.

Amending the Charter

If the United Nations Charter be taken Holy Writ then Andre Gromyko Soviet delegate the Security Council would be solid ground in his objection to the Baruch plan for control of atomic energy.
 The proposed International Atomic Development Au- thority says MT Gromyko would be independent of the cannot be reconcied with the Charter of the United Ma ons And indeed the Charter does that the Security Councll shall have primary responsibility for the main tenance of international peace and security
 MT. Gromyko complains that the proposed ADA would infringe the principle of sovereignty and endanger the whole existence and future of the United Nations and that It would contravene Article 2 Paragraph of the Charter which states Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations intervene in which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state shall require Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter
 Of course, Mr. Gromyko objects the waiving of the veto power as applied to punishng found to speaks of this undermining the prncpe'-which fortunately is not always the practiceof the unanmity ot the permanent members of the Security Council.
 All this correct according to the letter of the text But the United Nations Charter is not Holy Writ It written when only handful of dreamed of the mmlnence of this power which Mr. Baruch put has damned every to be the slave fear is set group of united in the peace but sharply divided by divergent deas phiosophes strengths and national interests
 wholesale revaluation of accepted theories of govern men society and science has been necessary by military aspects of atomic This need for revauaon centers inevitably the United Nations. Why then MT. Gromyko talk if the Charter were perfect and eternal instrument?
 The present Charter is not permanent and immuabe It be amended and it be, somehow by General Assembly-even though Russia probably will endeavor veto the right to veto the veto.

A Thought for Today
On the Way

Speculation the possibilities of atomic power had a brief life in general conversation. immediately after the first bomb dropped there all sorts of guesses as to when should have automobiles arpanes trans and ships driven by the energy released from hunk of metal the size of pea lump of coal
 Very shortly afterward however, 1t pointed out that the deadly rays of this released energy would require such heavy weight of protective metal to make atomic motive power impractical at least for personal vehicles. And everybody forgot the whole matter Almost buI qu1te everybody
 oT no Army Air Forces announcement that planes least practical and that aircraft acl1es working for several months toward point te lonouncement of pfaccality could be
 
 Solution Of the problems involved IS, of course barely Apparently any aom-powered aircraft envisioned present would have be flown by control eff ects of the rays would doubtless be fatal Thus the present. planned would be military craadding to the destructive frightening of atomic power.
 But this is only beginning With the atomic age less than year old impossible task the way to be- conquered It lends strength to the notion that in two three decades will have changed his life and the world until you wouldn't know the old place One only nope that shall still want to know 1t.

pleaded with stalin to realize that the American people had quarrel with Russia that their great est ambition to remain permanent friends In the end, Byrnes found himself doing most of the compromising The Russians yielded little.
 Since then Byrnes gradually and reluctantly has round to the opinion that the Russians don't want to play ball with the U.SA, that they deliber- atey keep their people stirred up the phantom threat of war with the outside world quiet unrest to preserve unity at home, the Kremn figures such policy is necessary.
 Yet Byrnes is not anti-Russian Despite his viz tiffs with Molotov, those who have watched him on the inside know that he is severely anxious to cooperate.
 When he was War Mobilizer Byrnes brought down the on 72 heavy Warships proposed by Adm Ernie King for construction after the The only nation they could be aimed against was Russia, and Byrnes emphatically said they could not be built
 Later he aroused the resentment of U S. Army Navy chiefs by eeding the Kurile Islands to Russia though they had been captured by the U.S.A Byrnes however thought it would improve U.S.-U.SSR. relations if Russia got them.
 But finally Byrnes concluded that the he appeased Russia, the more it demanded appeasement and that the chief thing Molotov understands is firmness
 Not everyone in the Truman cabinet likes Jimmie Byrnes Some of the Presidents friends jealous. They say he dWarfs his chief in the White House, that Jimmie forget only heartbeat sep arates him from being President.
 It is quite true that Byrnes is the most experi- enced executive in the entire Admnstration-more experienced than his chief. He has been Representa- tive Senator, Supreme Court Justice, War Moblizer and Secretary of State It is also true that Jim mic was bitterly disappointed man when Roosevelt passed him Vice-President at Chicago in favor of Truman. Byrnes had set his heart being FDR.s running mate thought ne had a definite commitment from the President.
 But despite that background, Jimmie ByrneS Is longer thinking about the Presidency He has set his heart just one thng-Winning the peace.
 When he first resigned from the Senate to go on the Supreme Court, Jimmie walked down the streets of Spartanburg, S. G. where he lives reveing in the fact that people no longer wayaid him to ask for jobs. He puttered around grocery store buying food and went home to help his dinner thinking he going to retire to life of leisure
 But after only brief taste Of the Supreme Court closters, Jimmie aching to be back in the thick of things When he left the Court Negro function ary remarked:
 We has 'em die. We has em retire. But this is the first time we has em resign. Dunno what the Court is coming to-,
 However, Jimmie Byrnes will go back to a sedentary life the Court or any place else His health has suffered under the strain. He may die in the saddle But somehow or other-despite all the obstacles Jimmie is determined to write a peace-a peace that will stick

PEARL HARBOR REPORT
Hartford Tmse)


 There was nothing unexpected in the Pearl Harbor Committee find ings. The majority report, sigend by six Democrats. and two Repub- licans, places responsibility for sur prise when the Japanese attack on the military and naval command CTS, Admiral Kimmel and General Short. The minority Senators Ferguson of Michigan and Brew ster of Maine, places blame prim- arily on the fate President Roose- welt and his cabinet, and General Marshall, then chief of staff.
 In the majority report are recom- mendations that there be unity of control of military and naval out posts, that the intelligence services Of the Army and Navy be integrat- ed, and other safeguards be taken.
 From the evidence that was brought out during the protracted hearings the public must agree with the majority There was nothing in the testimony tc show any lack of alertness by the late President. General Marshall or members of the cabinet as to the critical nature of negotiations with the Japanese ministers or lack Of warnings to Short and k1mmel, which amount ed to derelictlon of duty. Senators Ferguson and Brewster object that they were unable to get all the evil dence because of refusals to fur nish other than selected parts of the Presidents papers They put blame on former Secretaries Stim- son and Knox, also, and on the Washington military and naval leaders as well as on Short and Kimmel .:~.
 Pearl Harbor will be remember ed as the most tragic incident in the military history of the United States. That there was a condition bordering on negligence at the naval base is acknowledged. But there was nothing scandalous. &C., cording to the evidence. From the political standpoint, nothing was brought out to reduce the respect in which the nation held and still holds the former President and those in Washington upon whom he had to depend for advice and guidance.

PARIS, July 3O-One year ago, Jimmie Byrnes, newly appointed Secretary of State, was one of the cockest in Washington. Bustling back and forth between the State Department and the White House he gave the impression of complete confidence in his ability to unravel the tangled state Of the world.
 Today, James F. Byrnes is vsibly older and wiser man His air of cocksureness is gone. He is tired and his health is not too good. His gracious South Carolina charm is just contagious as ever but sometimes his buoyant spirit isgs and It is easy to that the past year has taken its toll on Jimmie ByrneS.
 The past year has seen Jimmie take five grueling air trips to Europe, attend five crucial conferences on which depended the peace of the world No won der Jimmie is tired.
 The past year has also seen Byrnes experience slight tiffs with his boss in the White House and extremely unpleasant rows with his old sparring partner M Molotov. Once they came nearer to blows than ever leaked out to the papers
 It began all in fun Byrnes was attending dip lomatic tea at the American Embassy in Paris was in jovial mood and started to joke with Mootov by playfully wrestling with him. The Russian, also III good humor, at first pretended to spar back. Then Byrnes by accident slipped his hand in Molotov's inside breast pocket. The Soviet foreign minister stffened with anger, grabbed Byrnes hand. At first it was embarrassing Then Molotov realizing it was all in jest, took out his handkerchief and waved it above his head as if in surrender
 Despite the Encouragement of the past year however despite stumbling progress toward peace despite the ups and downs of Jinme's diplomacy. the fact remains that Byrnes has become increas ngy effective Secretary of State He has grown with the months Despite his critics Capitol H Byrnes is running far more efficient State Department than his old friend, Cordel Hull, did. And his cesses abroad must be measured not merely in achievements but in relation the obstacles in his path.
 It is true that Jimmie Byynes has learned to oe good Secretary of State at the expense of the nation. But 1t is also true that he has so far out stripped his predecessors in intelligent handling of foreign affairs that his lessons in diplomacy are good investment, It is pity they could not have started sooner
 Byrnes began at the London Foreign Ministers conference last September by being vigorously anti Russian. Repeatedly he and Mootov were odds. At one point when Byrnes proposed discussing the Dardanelles, Molotov countered
 Now will discuss the Panama Canal"
 That's of your damn business exploded the American Secretary of State.
 After London, however Byrnes to the sober conclusion that the United States must lean backward to get along with Russia. So few weeks later he went to Moscow, taking with him only ad- visers sympathetic to Russia. For days he labored with Stalin and Mootov, did his best to get along
 At one conference, lasting until A. M, Byrnes
