OnneS EyereZ. hehry "eAem"fe.
just got in this morning. having
Pan-Am-clippered from Montevideo
You'll never guess what I am going
to do today. I am not going to see
a thing. Since I got to South
America I have spent a great share
Of my time seeing the oldest Ca
thedrals, the highest mountains,
the biggest palaces, the most ornate
mansions and all the other sights
of this vast continent.
Home for . Day.
But not today. Buenos Aires Is
considered the most modern city in
the world, with a thousand things
tourist should see. I am going to
spend 1t in my room. I must have
rest from sightseeing. My feet
and ankles are crying for surcease
from tramping. My eyes have abb
sorbed all they can. So for the
next "a hours I am going to look
at clothes closet in the Alvear
Palace Hotel, make minute exami-
nation of the sheets and blankets
of my hotel room bed and generally
try to lead the sort of life I would
at home.
This Is the town where the food
is supposed to be the best in the
world. But I am not going to any
fancy restaurant tonight. Know
where I am going? To the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Terry. He is
from Birmingham and she is from
Cordele, Ga. She, Mary Terry, has
promised me a real, old-fashioned
country dinner. She Is going to
chase the servants out Of the kitch-
en- and. with an apron round her
neck, cook me some Georgia fried
chicken. cream gravy, hot biscuits,
candied yams, and all the trim
mings. It'll taste good. Mighty
good. There is such thing as eat
ing too high. That's what I have
been doing since I left Miami. This
part of the world was almost un-
touched by the war, except for a
shortage of gasoline. The citizens
still have to queue up for their pc
troll. but there is enough food down
here to feed the world.
Would Double Siesta.
When I get back to the States !
am going to try to introduce the
siesta. OF all the things I have dis
covered in South America, the siesta
is the finest. In Brazil every one
takes about a two-hour siesta after
lunch. In Uruguay the siesta lasts
from noon until 2:30. Here, I am
told, all the shops close tight from
one in the afternoon until four
And I hear that when I get to San
tiago in Chile I will find the siesta
at its height. The shops are open
only long enough to enable the
owner to lock the door and leave
for home. We need the siesta in the
States. We lead too fast lives. We
chase the almighty dollar so hard,
so furiously, that next to wheat and
iron, ulcers are our greatest crop.

This Changing World
Beating Of Priests in Yusoslavia Seen
Part of Plan Formulated by Reds

| is reported to have trained no less
than $4,000 men throughout the
Spanish Civil War.
Vidali, alias Don Carlos, estab-
lished a we'll deserved reputation as
one of the most ruthless and blood
thirsty political commissars in
Spain. At the end of that war
Vidali is reported to have gone to
Moscow to complete his "educa-
tion" and returned to his native
Trieste on May "a this year.
Before settling down in Trieste,
where he took over the leadership
of the Communist Party, which had
been criticized as soft by both
Palmiro Togliatti, the Italian Com
munist leader, and Marshal Tito,
the Yugoslav dictator, he had con-
ferences with both these leaders.
Soon thereafter the comrades in
Trieste, as well as adjacent areas,
began to show signs of real activity.
The beating of priests was spec
tacular and received wide attention
abroad. But in addition Vidali sue
ceeded In making the Slovene and
Italian Communists into real fight
ing units. The former commissar
of one of. the most famous regiments
in the Spanish Civil War resumed
on a smaller scale his work in
Madrid. ..
Nothing Refused Him.
Because Vidal is trusted implicitly
by Tito and Togliatti rs one OF Mos
cows favorites, nothing Is refused
to him. Yugoslav officers in dis
guise joined his ranks and are drill
ing the future fighters for a free
Trieste under Yugoslav tutelage In
Zone B of Venezia Giulia.
Since last June the entire area, in
Guiding that part occupied by Ameri-
can and British troops, has been in
turmoil. Muscle men from the
Yugoslav zone frequently lead po-
litical meetings, which generally end
in street fights with the local police.
Neutral" inhabitants, that Is to
say Italians and Slovenes who
wish to keep peace, are terrorized
and compelled to join the party.
They are told that unless they do
so, they will suffer when the Amer
leans and British leave. The oc-
cupation by foreign troops is tenn
porary, they are told, while COM
munism is permanent.
Religious prosecutions, in spite of
some reports to the contrary, are
said to be stronger In Yugoslavia
than in any other country behind
the iron curtain.

On the Record
Gisevius' Book, To the Bitter End
Called One of Days Most Important

fect1On OF Jne German masses, anu
cunningly directed by conscienceless
men absorbing, bit by bit, the levia-
than Of the modern centralized
state and all its Instruments; the
hordes of bureaucrats intent only on
job holding and getting their pen
sions: the bureaucratized and in
flltrated army almost extinct of
personal responsibility and the chiv-
alric spirits; the pettily egotistic and
frightened bourgeoise: the organized
workers already seeped through
with cynical materialism. Gisevius
shows that Naziism but arose out of
the morass of society which had
already taken leave of moral in
hibitiops and traditional values, and
his book is both history and warning
Tragedy Of Errors.
1t also recounts the frightful
tragedy of errors of the other Eu-
ropean powers. Only once was there
concerted determination of the
military, who alone could overthrow
the regime, to do so. That was in
1885, when both general staff and
the people were fearful! that Hitler
meant war and war meant disaster.
That counter-revolution was foiled
by Neville Chamberlain at Munich.
Even in 1899 it was not altogether
too late-until Hitler was saved for
the second time, by Stain.
After that, the resistance was of
individuals and circles of them. Let
us not underrate them. They belong
among the truest heroes of these
terrible times.
GiSevius can also write, and his
American publishers (Houghton,

whether the bitter end" of violent

been certainly avoided for the rest

Krewatch, Maryland's Extension
agricultural engineer, as he warn
ed home owners to inspect CHM

expected cold snap makes it neces-
sary to start fire. He pointed out
that accumulations of SCOT and fly
ash in the chimney invite trouble,
especially if there are cracks in the
mortar.
In listing precautions that may
be taken, he mentioned the use OF
spark arrestors which fit over the
stack and prevent live cinders and
burning particles escaping to the
roof. This was said to be especial
ly important if wood roofs sur
round the chimney.
Other safeguards include The use
of fire-resistant roofs and extend.
