u. S. ARMY
RECRUITING

Major Fred G.. d. Mauck of the
Army Recruiting Station in Gle
veland urged young men gradual
ing from high school to consider
the benefits offered by the G.. |.
Bill of Rights in planning their
uture career.
He pointed out that in order to
be eligible for benefits provided
by the G.. I. Bill, a man must
serve in the Army for 90 days or
more, one day of which is before
the war is declared officially ter
minated by Congress. For this
service he is eligible to receive II
months of training at the college,
trade or business school of his
choices following his discharge.
In addition, he may receive one
months training tor each month
of service before the official termi-
nation date.
You're in class by yourself"
Major Mauck reminded high
school seniors. "You are the
members of the first high school
graduating class since 1910 who
have not been faced by call from
Selective Service" He explained
further that the futures of young
men today are vitality important
not only to themselves, but to
their country. The return to the
volunteer system of military serv-
ice places a vital decision before
each high school graduate.

Senator Arthur H. Vandenbere

Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, in o,lc
of the statements inauguratins
broadcasts to Greece on the
Governments Voice of Amer
ica' program:
The program of financial as
sistance Ito Greece and Turkey
which our Congress has approx ed
will pour into the economic blood
stream of the Greek community
the vital nourishment of which it
deprivd by the savagery OF Nazi
occupation. But | want to be
completely frank about one point.
'Our program to sustain the vigor
and independence of Greece is not
mere charity to a friendly and
needy neighbor. 1t is program
in the genuine self-intcrest of the
United States. In a sense, it is
evn selfish program. WIN you
consider that our common anxi-
ETY. for world peace and security
has as its foundation every indi-
viduafS selfish desire to be allow
ed to pursue his life's business in
peace. Ii the freedom OF the
Greek people to go about their
private affairs in calm security is
suddenly removed, we Americans
feel that our freedom is threaten
ed too. This is the measure of
how close-knit the world has
become"

SCOOTER MAN IN SEATTLE ON HIS
 WAY TO ALASKk

SEATTLE, April l7-lR-Rotund D. A. Gregory of Harlingen, Texas, completed 8 Rio Grande Valley to Seattle" trip on his tricycle. scooter today, and drawled that he had met nothing but discouraging re- ports on his chances Of being the first man to travel to Alaska on enc of the little gasoline propelled vehicles.
 He said the trip from Texas, with his terrier "pooch" and her three puppies cuddled in separate baskets, took nearly month.
 The 52-year-old ex-preacher and Gil field worker who said he want ed to seek work, and possibly bit Of preachin" in Alaska, said high way association officials had dis couraged hm with reports that it was too early to travel the Alaska highway and he might not be al- lowed to attempt it on his tiny vehicle.

the great danger. But with the po- lice herding them out, the exodus may really start today.
 About the Liberty ship High Fly CT which blew up in the middle Of the night: There is no explanation yet why she was permitted to re- main at the docks with her poten- italy explosive cargo-unless it was because of the danger of the over whelming flames all around. But there were 400 rescue workers near by,s and all except 50 men were ordered out just before she blew apart. The ship burned away from It's moorings and drifted against another vessel, the SS Wilson B. Keene Then sile exploded.
 At the end, the High Flyer sar- dcnically lived up to her name. Ac- cording to witnesses, she went up like a giant rocket. One man said a mammoth black cloud bil- lowed 2,000 feet into the night sky "a cloud laced with flame. Red hot steel arched over the cry. and fragments pinged on the pave ments. In the dock area, the jagged pieces were falling like rain. An ether man said the blast ripped the buttons off his jacket, while a piece of flying steel cut the leg of man standing right alongside. A Red Cross nurse helped him fix a tour niquet. Her head was bleeding, but she paid no attention to herself.
 There are many such stories from Texas City-practically all of them rve-shattering But occa- sionally, there is one with less tragic tone. For example: J. E. Kent, a police sergeant from Hou- ston, was directing traffic near the docks when one of the ships blew up.
 T slid under a car," he said. "The concussion cost me most of what hair had left
