ever made. Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. Mike" Dunn, who was reduced in rank when he protested Army failures, three times was later recommended for promotion by the Navy. He has never heen pro- noted. Nor has the Army done anything about some of the high ranking officers who still run the Air Corps and whose gambling with peoples lives is probably worse than Gen Bennett Meyers gambling with other peoples money.
 Quite a few good young officers are now getting recognition in the Army and are doing Al jobs. But when it comes to busting those responsible for tragic errors, the cid brass hat protective associa- tion still operates.

One hundred and fifty-six years ago December 10 the Bill of Rights became part Of the Constitution of the United States It is short text which can be read in few minutes and better use of lew minutes could be made today by an American than to read again the simple words which guarantee the liberty We cherish
 Here in a short space is affirmed the American for the state that the rights of a free people are superior to the powers of government. Here is the statement of our high regard for individual opinion and the dignity of human life.
 The roots of the principle asserted in the Bill of Rights reach deep into history-nto the Constitutions achieved into the struggles of colonial and English history Some of them may be found in the Magma Carta signed by King John than 700 years ago Some are older still The stugge for liberty under government is as old government The first true Bill of Rights enacted in England in 1889. says in almost identical language of the basic principles embodied in our own Bill century later.
 Not so very long ago, most of western and south ern Europe and most of the Pacific still under the domination of Nazi and Japanese dicatorshps which had abolished human rights throughout the territory controlled end made slaves of free peoples Today that area of domination been erased but the battle is not over Today the United States has assumed world leadership in a campaign to guarantee to the oppressed peoples of the world sort of international Bill of Rights, and all of the resources and states nansp of this great country dedicated to that end

TOO TOUGH FOR BARNEY

By this time Gen. Gaffney smell ed rat And being a tough Irish man with son who was in troop carrier outfit, he got on the telephone and proceeded to bawl out Gen. Giles for sending Col. LauX to Alaska.
 When I want any officers of lieutenant colonel rank up here, I'll make them myself" he said. You don't need to concern your self with sending them to me"
 When Giles remonstrated, Gaff- ney shot back
 Don't give me any of that, Barney. Whats the matter? Has Laux got something on you?"
 Thus, Col Laux, the man who tried to prevent future mistakes in the Army, sat out the rest of the war in Nome, Alaska, nearest pont to Siberia
 Meanwhile. the Army had search ed his files, and frankly admitted they wanted to burn all his re- ports. letters, etc, which demanded self sealing tanks in troop carry ing planes. Laux managed to keep one copy Of his letter to Stimson. however-the letter re- gently published in this column
 In this letter, Col Laux told the Secretary of War that there had been criminal negligence" in re- gard to troop-carrying transports and that he, LauX, was prepared to prove 1t.
 However, no investigation was

UNDER THE DOME

Nebraska Republicans are not enthusiastic about having Senator Kenneth Wherry, the merry mor- tician," speak in their towns. They fear embarrassing questions might be asked about the end ot OPA. Wherry was the most vociferous of all Senators in promising low prices when the OPA ended To be discouraged from speaking in his home state is heartbreaking irony to a man who simply loves to speak The all-important cement case now pending before the Supreme Court will decide for the first time i'll history whether the Federal Trade Commission has the right to prosecute antitrust cases-hitherto exercised chiefly by the Justice Department. For years the Federal Trade Commission, whose members constitute the old eSt-aged group in Government, have scarcely moved on antitrust cases. For instance, ETC oldsterS deliberated the cement case for 10 long years. A companion case on price fixing of steel was held up by the Trade Commission for 26 years In contrast, the Attor- ney General has wound up major antitrust suits in two or three years especially under trust busting Thurman Arnold.

Natures Children
By liIIion Cox Athey

All wild horses in the world to-
day are Przewalski horses, named
after q scientist who first discovered
and identified them.
These shaggy little bay-colored
horses alone can be properly classed
with the other truly wild members
|of the genus Equus, the wild as
and zebra.
Though very scarce, these horses
are still seen In the desolate steppe
areas Of Tartary and Mongolia from
the Dnieper to the Altai Mountains
and throughout Asia.
Today they are threatened with
extinction, not through slaughter
but through dilution with the many
feral ponies Of the Mongols.
Przewalski horses resemble the
drawings of horses In caves and
credited to the artistic work Of pre-
historic man. They are character
lied by a stubby erect name, ab.
sence of forelock and the presence
of long tail hairs on the lower part
and sides Of the tall. The head has
q Roman nose contour and long
powerful Jaws. The horse has o
strong, short back. The ears and
hoofs resemble those Of other horses.
The colts can be tanned II ac-
lquired when very young. The older
horses will never submit to train
| ing or captivity. They have keen
sense of smell. One Whit of man
win send the horse clipping away.
About 48 inches (12 hands, high.
they are capable of high leaps. They
travel in small bands, each led by
a stallion.
| Research fails to trace the Prze-
walski to any domesticated breeds.
The Tarpan resembles them to .
certain extent and is most likely
a cross between these wild horses
and domestic ponies which have
run wild. The name "Tarpen" Is
used loosely to include any Of the
horses found running wild on the
steppes of Central Asia. But scien.
fists have found domesticated an
cestor for every other type of horse
now running free and called wild.
but for the Przewalsi horse which
is the only true wild horse found
In the world today.

Alaska Passenger Ships Equipped With Radar

SEATTLE, tP)-With the entire Alaska passenger fleet now equip ped with radar, Alaska Steamship company officials reported today that the 77-year-old Victoria is the first freighter to get the war-de- veloped equipment under its ra- dar installation program.
 It's keeping the old girl of the north Pacific fleet right up to date. The venerable Victoria is generally conceded to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, iron steamship still plying in commer- cial trade. It was built in Scotland in 1870.
 The passenger ship Denali saiis today on her first run under .he protection of radar, and the Aleu- tian will make her radar debut to- morrow. The Baranof is on her second trip with radar.

Midgets Protest Long Skirts

HOLLYWOOD, (P)-Striking a blow for liberation of the female leg, four-foot six-inch George Ha- vens yesterday launched cam paign to interest brother members of Hollywood's midget colony in picketing downtown stores which advertise the new long dresses.
 This is the most vital question to confront midgets in years" said vens. "It'S discrimination against minority. The new styles give all the advantage to six footers. Designers have promised that as the hems drop, so will the necklines-but what good is that to a midget?"
