JOB TRAINING
Veterans Administration
Finds Positions For
Disabled
NO BLIND CASES HERE

The number of disabled Della
ware Veterans receiving job or ed
ucational training has now reached
a total of 398. The men are en-
titled to the help under Public Law
16 which provides for men receiv-
ing disability payments, it was an
nounced recently by William 1.
Tawes, Chief of the Vocational Re-
Mobilization and Education Division
of the Veterans Administration.
Mr.. Tawes stated that at present
there are only As disabled veterans
who are unable to find educational
or job training, and contrasted
that figure with the situation of
year ago, when there were 40 dis
abled veterans who were unable to
find these opportunities. Stating
that he considers that the efforts
of his division of the Veterans Ad-
ministration here have been sue
cessful, Mr.. Tawes pointed out that
many of the 4s men who are not
placed now are very seriously dis
abled, which complexities the task
of finding opportunities for them
for vocational or educational train
ing. Mr.. Tawes compared the fig
ures with those of year ago,
when S5 per cent of the cases con-
sidered for rehabilitation were
Public Law 16-disability cases
the remainder being Public Law

the end of July disability cases are

dropped out of on-the-job training
registered, compared to 1850 for
the preceding month. The report
also showed that 3,7s6 veterans
are receiving disability pensions.
This is five less than the number
for July, but 339 more than in
August, 1916. There were 106 ap-
plications for hospital care, and
2s3 requests for physical examina-
tions.

5000, 900 Worth of Worms
From Maine Clam Flats

Clamworms and bloodworms,
close to 100000 worth. will be dug
from Maine clam flats by the time
the fishing season generally ends.
Harvesting of these species which
are sold as an AL bait mostly for
sports fishermen in metropolitan
areas was originally limited to clam
fats between Biddeford Pool and
Boothbay harbor. Now it has ex-
tended to the easternmost bounda-
ries and on every clam fat scores
of men are making living digging
worms.
There are two kinds, sandworms
and bloodworms. Nobody knows just
why they are called clamworms for
there is no evidence that CLAIMS feed
upon them or that they feed on
CLAIMS. They are most plentiful,
however, in clam flats and that may
be why they got the name.
Most of them are as big around
as fountain pen and from eight
inches to a foot and a half. This
worm has horned black head, SER
rated sides like fine saw teeth and
may be found at a depth from two
inches to two feet.
The captured worms are packed
in seaweed or wet MOSES about 500
to box, and are shipped daily by
railway express or by motor truck.
The shippers received from three to
four cents apiece while the fisher
men will pay as high as 10 cents
worm. One worm may be cut up
into pieces an inch long and it is the
most effective bait known.

SophouIis Takes Oath
As Head Of Coalition
Cabinet in Greece
A. TIA Assar;at~d R.>.s

ATHENS, Sept. S.-Two tradition
ally hostile Greek political parties
were united today in a new gov
ernment pledged to crush Commu
mist guerrillas, following the inaug-
uration last night of Liberal-Pop-
ulist cabinet headed by Liberal
Themistokles sophoulis.
Mr.. Sophoulis was sworn in at the
royal palace by Archbishop Damas-
kinos, former Greek regent, shortly
after Constantin Tsaldaris resigned
as Premier with his short-lived all
Populist (Royalist government. The
latter will serve in the new cabinet
as Vice Premier and Minister of
Foreign Affairs.
The new government was ex-
pected to offer an immediate am
nesty to all guerrillas provided the
uprising ends within a specified
time. Those who surrender will re-
ceive a guarantee against reprisals
and be given employment.
The government would invite a
neutral international commission
to supervise the amnesty, under
this plan. Should the amnesty fail,
the government was reported ready
to appoint a military leader with
authority to wipe out the insurgents
The installation of the new gov
eminent was seen as a diplomatic
victory for United States Ambas-
sador Lincoln MacVeagh and 10y
w. Henderson, director of the ONCE
of Near Eastern and African Affairs,
who Is now In Greece.
The achievement Of political
unity was expected to aid greatly
the success Of the American aid
program to Greece.
Mr.. Sophoulis previously served
as Premier from November, 1945,
until April, 1916. Mr.. Tsaldaris was
designated Premier August 80, a
week after the coalition government
of Populist Demetrios Maximos fell.

Wagner Denies Story
He'll Resign, Calling
6. 0. P. '0vereaqer'
kx the Asxoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Sept: S.-In a state
ment which he said was to set at
rest" rumors that he planned to re-
sign, Senator Wagner, Democrat, of
New York said yesterday that "the
Republicans appear slightly over
eager to provide Gov. Dewey with
an opportunity to appoint one of
their own party" to Senate seat.
Instead of resigning, Senator Wag-
rer said, he will return to Washing
ton to fight for adoption of the
Taft t-Ellender Wagner Housing Act
and for the repeal OF the pernicious
Taft-Hartley labor law"
Mrs. Roosevelt Mentioned.
In recent weeks there has been
some public speculation that the To-
year -old senior Senator from New
York would resign and support
either Mayor William ODwyer or
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt for the Sem
ate seat he has held since 1927. The
Senator'S statement said he was
convalescing rapidly from the long
Illness that gave rise to the specu-
lation.
In attributing the speculation to
Republicans, Senator Wagner said
he was quite sure, however, that
Gov. Dewey has had no part in their
scheihing."
II believe" Senator Wagner said,
~that domestic treason is being per-
petrated on the American veterans
and their fellow citizens by the
money-mad real estate lobby and
their unholy representatives in
Congress" who have not only pre-
vented the Government from carry
ing out a necessary and comprehen-
sive housing program but have sue
ceeded in destroying an effective
rent control program -.

the present Hartley Labor
Law. I believe it bad in concept
and evil in its objective which, I
insist, Is the start of long-range
attempt to render impotent the

try"

deal OF wishful thinking about my
health, my tenure in the Senate

Clearing the Air

Whether he willed 1t or not, Specu-
lation over General Marshalls fu-
ture in politics was inevitable. Any
American who attains great stature
in the public estimate is automatl-
cally placed in the list of possible
candidates for the presidency. Gen
eral Marshall's war record and the
unique history of public service
which has brought him to the State
Department definitely placed him
high in that list.
The only way to deal with such
speculation, provided, as in General
Marshall's case, that it lacked foun-
dation as to his personal inclina-
tions, was to treat it with the forth
right candor that gave such quality
to his brief statement yesterday on
arrival in Washington. Il will never
become involved in political matters
and therefore I never can be con-
sidered as candidate for public
office. - never could be drafted.

The statement is in keeping with
General Marshall's character and it
is well that it has been made now.
It clears the air of discussion that
could become as Embarrassing as in
terminable and which would handi-
cap him sin the effective execution
of his responsibilities. Aside from
his own qualifications, General
Marshall's appointment is symbolic

Cheaper Air TruveI

The reduction in fare for air travel
between Miami and San Juan,
Puerto Rico, announced last week by
Pan American World Airways, marks
another step in the direction in
which all airlines must move if they
are to compete successfully for pas
senger business in the future.
The new fare schedule reduces
the roundtrip excursion rate from
Miami to San Juan from $131.40 to
$96.50. This cut is in addition to
the general reduction in plane fares
throughout Latin America, which
was announced last month and
which has Just become effective. Ac-
cording to figures given out by Pan
American this general reduction
affects more than 5000 fares
throughout the Southern Hemi-
sphere. 1t represents the fourth
major cut in Latin American fares
since VI day, and is expected to
reduce the cost of Latin American
travel by about $2,500,000 in 1947.
Officials of the airline say that it
has been possible to make these re-
ductions by putting more efficient
equipment into service. and in con-
sequence of an actual and prospec-
tive increase in the volume of traf-
fic. This, of course, is a tested
formula of American industry

creased efficiency and increased
volume. If conditions permit of its
general application, this formula
points the way to a solution of
many of our present economic
problems.

rebuilding Coventry Cathedral along
"modernistic" lines has been aban-
doned. The Royal Fine Art Com
mission. latter careful considera-
tion = found itself unable to ap-
nroye" the drawings submitted to
it and recommended reconsidera-
tion of the whole reconstruction
project. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott,
creator of Liverpool Cathedral and
undoubtedly the most eminent artist
of his class in England today,
thereupon resigned his connection
with the enterprise, remarking that:
"It is unlikely that a modernlst
or transitional design will ever
meet with the approval OF all par
ties"
This means, in effect, that
Coventry, so far as its diocesan
church is concerned, has gone back
to the point where it was when its
beautiful old St. MichaePs was
bombed by the Germans in 1910.
Some portions of shopping center

New German Allbl
By Rayn ond NJ oley

Albert Speer was, in many important
respects. the ablest man in Naz Ger
many He escaped hanging at Nuern-
berg because he was not from the outset
a part of the criminal conspiracy to put
Germany on the road to persecution and
war. Speer's capacity lay in economic
and engineering planning. He impressed
Americans at Nuremberg with his WIDE
range of practical knowledge. After his
prison stretch, he may well become an
important factor in postwar Germany.
This is why it is necessary to note MS
recent remark to prominent American
visitor. This visitor asked Speer whether
the German people would ever acknowl-
edge complete and hopeless defeat
Speer answered. You don't know how
close we came to having superior weap-
ons. If we had not expelled the scien-
lists. we would have had the weapons to
beat you"
We can take it for granted that this
will become the great German alibi for
defeat. After World War I, the Germans
comforted themselves with the ''stab-in-
the-back" excuse They were told, and
they believed, that, just as they were

Catholics OH the home front weakened
resistance and took the heart out OF
the army. Hitler, seizing this means OF
saving German pride, cried out against
all who might repeat this alleged per
formance. And SO Jews, Socialists, lib
erals. Democrats, some Catholics and
others were expelled or killed. And this
purge, Speer says, drove away scientists
who might have saved the nation.
In short, World War I was lost be-
cause these alleged traitors were present,
and World War II was lost because they
we're not present. This defies logic. 1t
makes no sense to Americans. But Ger
mans in search of an alibi will believe
ANYTHING. The master-race idea was
palpably false. Belief in the paper
hangers intuition defied reason. But
Germans stake their lives on delusion.
In their whole history, Germans have
been poor losers. There is no reason to
believe that their mentality In the fu-
