fighting organization in the world
that is better than the Infantry
I want to tip my cap to the
Marines.
Marks Corps 172d Year.
Today the Marine Corps observes
its 172d anniversary. From the
time the Marines were authorized
by the Continental Congress up
until today they stand as Americas S
finest fighting men.
Any man who fought for his
country has pride for the outfit he
was in. Men who flew planes
will swear to you that the Air
Force had the best guys. Men
like me who walked down the dirty
long road will argue all night that
the rough end of the stick belongs
to the Infantry. Sailors, will tell
YOU that the Navy won the war and
that sea power is everything
Yet when a marine walks into
the room you gotta shut up, be-
cause his heart beats to the tune
of song that's been proved to be
on the level. Let the children
sing Near You" but when a
marine sings or whistles he whistles
or sings of a story of bravery
that has been matched, perhaps,
but never outdone.
Never Had Safe Landing.
The Marines walked into Guade-
loupe in 1898 and they didn't spare
the blood. They added THE Shores
of Tripoli" in 1904, and in 1847
they wrote Montezuma into their
hymn. I could get very senti-
mental about the Marines, but I'd
rather put it this way:
The Marines never land after a
place is secured. They never come
in with cans of fruit cocktail in their
pockets and they have never known
in time of war what it is to assault
a volley ball court. The Marines,
if you are following me, are the
gents who come in first. When they
lower the boats the Marines jump
in. If you don't know how danger
GUS or rugged the coral is. the Ma
rines can tell you. They have been
there. The fresh blood and plasma
is late but the Marines don't wait
until it gets there. They are the
Americans who look at it, don't like
/ it, and say to themselves, Lets get
toehold for the other boys"
This may be treason to the blue

that I wore on my cap but the
marine is better soldier than the
infantryman. He's meaner, and
that's what makes for good soldier.
War Memory Dimming.
: World War II is slipping into the
mist of yesterday and we Americans
are forgetting what SO many men
did for us. Even the dismal honk
of the ship bringing back the war
dead does not arouse us. Men who
gave their lives for this country are
being buried while we fret over
meatless Tuesdays and eggless
Thursdays.
Yet I declare that in any marine
encampment in this country, o.
wherever Marines are stationed
throughout this world, shoes art
shined, rifles are cleaned and thu
bugles call will send them to th'
fullest fulfllment of a citizen-tht
defense of his country.
The Marines motto, if my Latil
teacher didn't lie to me, is Sempel
Fidelis. To my knowledge a marin,
has never violated that motto.
I hope that this is a tribute tt
the Marines. If I had a son, ant

the United States. I ask myself
whether we have, perhaps. been so
long the objects Of war OF nerves
first from tler-Germany. then
from Hitler Stain, and now from
Stain alone-that we are unable
to react any longer except with a
kind of exasperated boredom, as
one shouts into the next room
where some one is playing a par
ticularly loud or banal radio pro-
gram, "for heavens sake, turn of
that noise"
There are, however, few signifl-
cant things buried in the rubbish IN
which Mr.. Molotov's remark that
"the atomic bombs secret mas
ceased to exist" belongs. The secret
ceased to exist with the publication
of the Smythe report. Even I know
the secret" of the atomic bomb,
but I couldn't for the life OF me
make one. When Russia has 1t,
Russia will not be saying so.
Just Substitute for Butter.
Mr.. Molotov's hint that Russia
had 1t obviously was an attempt to
give the Russian people atomic
bombs instead of butter, for his re-
port on the Russian economic Sit
uation was discouraging.
We learn that Russia, too, has
suffered from drought. Last year
on the same anniversary occasion,
Mr.. Molotov do shouts OF bravoD
promised the end of bread rationing.
This year he could not.
We learn that the gross output
of big industry is up to the level OF
1910 (mostly war manufacturers.
Coal extraction is above prewar,
but metallurgy and oil production
are not. And when it comes to
consumer goods-clothes, shoes,
household equipment, manufactured
foodstuffs-all the things the Rus
slams simply have not got and
have been promised for 80 years,
we learn only that development is
proceeo1ng.
Soviet IdiOm VS.. Plain Talk.
Toward the close of the speech
there are some curious passages
which require knowledge Of Soviet
idiom to interpret. mot all our
people have freed themselves from
groveling and servility before the
west, before capitalist culture. {.

the satellite states so as to be able
to strike anywhere she wishes. In
Romania the Soviet 10th Army now
has been strengthened with ele-
ments which the Russians are with
drawing from the occupation forces
in Bulgaria.
The mechanical and motorized
units of the Soviet force in Bulgaria
estimated at about 100000 men
are being transferred westward to
Transylvania, while the 10000 Red
forces in Hungary are being moved
| toward the Slovak and Southern
Austrian borders. The Russian
army in Germany is also being
strengthened by the addition of
more tank and motorized divisions.
Tito Reinforces Units.
Important troop movements also
are taking place in Yugoslavia,
where Marshal Tito has again re-
inforced his units in Macedonia,
with headquarters in Skoplje, and in
the West near Austrian Carinthia, a
territory which Marshall Tito claims
as part Of the greater Yugoslavia.
While these strategic and tactical
military operations are taking place
behind the iron curtain, political
maneuvers, which presage another
political bombshell soon, are taking
place.
The Russian government is re-
ported to be determined to an
nounce, probably before the end
of the year, the formation of two
new and closely interlocked blocs.
One is the Balkan bloc, composed
Of Romania, Bulgaria. Yugoslavia,
Albania and possibly the demo-
cratic" government of Greece which
was organized by Gen. Markos
Vifiades about three months ago.
The other is the Central European
bloc, composed of Hungary, Czecho-
slovakia, Poland and the Soviet
zones in Austria and Germany.

ton of a Balkan bloc may be ex-

oslovakia are not ordinary changes
resulting from the desire Of the
governments in power to reward
their loyal supporters, but have
been dictated by Moscow, accord
ing TO the reports Of our repre-
sentatives in the Russian capital.
The appointment Of Anna Pauker,
a fanatical Communist who has
stayed in the background since the
liberation" of Romania, to take
the place Of Gheorghe Tatarescu
as foreign minister was required
by the Kremlin. Even the sub
servient, but Ineffective, Premier
Petru Groza may soon be sacri-
feed and replaced by a more ener-
getic tool for Moscow.
King Mihai's days on the Ro-
manian throne are numbered. Rus
sia has decided that Romania must
be republic in order to fit into
the Balkan bloc, which is COM
posed only of so-called republics.
Mihai will consider himself lucky
if he is not arrested and tried for
collaboration with the Nazis. He
was q helpless constitutional tool
of the pro-NaA Romanian govern
ment, just as he Is the tool Of the
Soviet today.
Czech Action Forecast.
Last weeks changes in Romania
are considered to have paved the
way for the final change to a COM
pletely Communist government.
Dramatic political moves, involving
President Eduard Benes, also may be
expected in Czechoslovakia, although
the changes in that country are not
imminent, as in Romania.
Since Czechoslovakia's "libera-
tion," Premier Klement Gottwald
has had to move with care. The
population is stubborn and, while
not rejecting close association with
the u. S. S. R., does not cherish COM
plete domination by Moscow.
In recent months the western
infection has spread. Mr.. Gottwald
places the blame on President Benes
and his foreign minister, Jan Masa-
ryk, who gives lip service to Russia
because he cannot help himself, but
feels differently. The Communist
hold on Czechoslovakia has been
strengthened in the last two weeks,
but this is considered by American
observers as just an appetizer before
the main dish-complete Russian
control.
U. S. Relations Perfunctory.
Our own diplomatic relations with
Russia are virtually at a standstill.
The American embassy in Moscow
has only the most perfunctory re-
lations with the Kremlin, while in
the United Nations the Soviet rep
resentatives openly display their
hostile feelings.
The Russian press and radio
the best political barometers-are
engaged in history's most disgraceful
campaign of vilification of the
United States. The barometer is
rapidly falling from mo change" to

display of groveling and servility

culture .. :" (The repetition is Mr..
Molotov's)
Translation Of the speech, in
brief: There is trouble In the So
Wet Union. Some of our soldiers,
traitorously misinterpreting what
their eyes falsely pretended to see
abroad, have been spreading lying
rumors that people in other coun-
tries are better off than here. The
crime waves that are sweeping Rus
sia-killings and robberies-are
vestiges of capitalism because crime
is obviously impossible in COM
plete Socialist economy. And any,
how, if anything whatever is un-
happy in our paradise, it is entirely
because we are surrounded by cut
throat enemies who any moment
may invade our soil again.

the foreign ministers when they sit
down here November Is to renew
their efforts to draft a German
peace treaty.
AS the deputies reassembled after
a weekend recess, an American
delegation spokesman asserted that
the United States had a plan for
working economic arrangement
with Germany in the event the
forthcoming foreign ministers par
ley collapses.
Discussed With British.
The plan, he said, already has
been discussed privately with Brit
ain, whose occupation zone in Ger
many now is fused economically
with the American zone.
Germany's economic position was
spotlighted over the week end by
a report from Gen. Lucius D. Clay
American Military Governor, who
said In Berlin that the former Reich
is tagging far behind on the road
to recovery.
Gen. Clay said the level of pro-
duction in Germany for the last
half of 1916 was about 40 per cent
of that of 1886 and had been raised
only few points this year His
report saw little prospect of the

Brown didn't play football last

didn't want him to risk his neck
in the grid wars, when he was SO

team. Brog's judgment proved
good. as Weinie has sparkplugged

Weinie, disguised with the show

game, but skipper Erogden SAID
the Bulldogs used a zone defense
which bottled up the short Cat star.
"They can't stop Weinie with a
man-to-man defense, because he's
too fast, "Brogden said, But,
Fayetteville centered it's defense
around its basket, and Brown
couldn't compete with the tall lads.
He's least effective against a zone
