A PAIL of gloom hung over the
- lumber camp the next day.
Hardin had the men logging all
morning because work seemed
the only means of keeping their
minds away from Norway's
death.
They returned to camp for
luncheon. The meal was a poor
one but the men, sympathizing
with Ollie's grief, made no COM
plant. The little Swede moved
automatically around the kitchen,
red-eyed and stoop-shouldered.
The loss of Norway seemed to
burden him like a great weight
riding his thin little back.
After the sorry meal the men
sat around whiting, touching up
their axes or talking in low tones.
At three Sheriff Kinear drove up
with two of his deputies and
called a meeting in the mess
shack.
"Tm going to ask some ques-
tions," he announced. 81 want
straight answers. After that if
any of you have information to
volunteer, speak up"
His questions established moth

Doug and Hardin were in the
vicinity of Norway's apparent
murder and had heard the shot,
he peered at them intently.
"You two get along with johann
son okay?"
"Johanson?" Doug echoed.
'"The murdered man." Kinear
said shortly.
"Oh." Doug felt a small tingle
Of surprise, somehow it had never
occurred to him that Norway had
a surname. "Yes, I think every
one got along with Norway. He
saved my life last week. I GER
tainly thought a lot of him"
Doug explained and Kinear
listened briefly and turned to
Hardin. "You?"
"Yes," Hardin said, 1--WE got

ments that loggers do, but moth

The Last Red Weapon

The French Communists reported to have adopted political isolatonist policy In other words they have isolated themselves from everybody but Russia. Henceforth th-y hardly profess to have a national program for France. They have proclaimed themselves the servle tools of Moscow and the Com inform
 This is the outstanding fact in the Communist threat to Western Europe Both in France and Italy 1t is now Stark nl.ed and open and must be met on that basis. If anything remained to prove it the action of the Communist bloc in the French Assem- ply the introdue:ion of French currency in the Sarre would clinch the matter. The Red Deputies bitterly opposed it. But this issue, obviously bene fcial to French internal economy, would hardly have excited ripple of debate if Moscow had not inter- vened. Russia does not want France to enjoy the accession of industrial strength she will derive from economic union with the Sarre Hence the French Communists openly line with Russia and against their own country As in their frantic opposition to the Marshall Plan, they compelled to appear as agents of the kremlin

VETERANS ON THE CAMPUS

When the GI Bill of Rights was adopted, giving
 ex-service men financial support to continue with
 their education some cynical educators were afraid
 that college standards would deteIiorate They warned
 that the veterans would swamp the campuses for the government "handout," consisting of $500 in free tuition costs and maintenance grants ranging from S65 to S90 monthly Within the last two years the veterans have entred the cassrooms in even greater numbers than hac been anticipated This fall more than 50 per cent of the record number of students attending American colleges and universities are vet erans Before the academic year ends it is estimated that l75oO0O former service men will be on the nations campuses. They have crowded the class roo1s oyerburdened the teaching staff put an almost impossible pressure the laboratories libraries and dorlntories Never in the history of higher educa- ton has so great burden been placed on the colleges
 But from all reports the veterans are domg maenificent job in the classroom. Far from attend ing for the free ride they are setting higher standards everywhere Writing in the November iS- sue of Survey Graphic Ordway Tead chairman Of the New York City Board of Higher Education presents evidence to show that the veterans have been wholesome influence on the American campus. The veterans he reports, are getting better marks than nonveterans; they are alert more anxious to do pood work and in general recognize the value oi an education Two important assets are in their favor maturity and motivation. It is interesting to note that married veterans make better academic records
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-12-15

than the unmarried; veterans with children top all the campus averages for marks and honors
 Not only are their academic records better, MT. Tead points out but the veterans are critical and skeptical of "dogmatic utterances and author- tartan attitudes the part of the teachers" They are quick to detect poor teaching, and insist that their instructors be of top calber As result many professors now revising their lecture notes and seeking to meet the challenge brought to the campus by the mature, alert, earnest young men. That this attitude will have a salutary effect on higher education seems certain. The ex-service men are taking their education seriously. That is an encouraging development for the continuance of American democracy.
