SOLDIER SHOW GOES OVER BIG AT MARKS FIELD

MARKS AIR FORCE BASE Special Services of the US. Army presented a Soldiers Show last evening at the theater here entitled 'Let's Be Happy"
 The Shows" which were start ed during the war in the European and Far East commands proved so successful that they are being worked out in Alaska where they are meeting with great enthusiasm under the supervision of Miss Tharon Musser, Civilian Actress Technician.
 The program consisted of a ser ies of snappy short vaudeville acts by talent from the base and from Nome.
 Pfc. Gordon Russell, Master of Ceremonies, kept things moving along swiftly, with never a dull moment between acts.
 The show consisting of IT acts was well received by an apprecia- tive audience, with Pfc. Frank Risa in song and dance; Cpl. Car arini, commedian, Ray Hartsfield and his accordion; and the Caro- lima Plowboys receiving the big gest round of applause.
 Clever dance numbers with be- coming costumes were presented by two dance teams, Lee Jonish and Jennie Savers; Mary Roell | and Jane Scott. Jennie Savers al- so presented a group of popular songs and Lee Jonish appeared in several of the short comedy skits.
 Little 8-year-old Starlette Jc Hunt, dressed in a grass skirt, sang sweet Hawaiian love song.
 The success of the show is a credit to Miss Musser for her abil- ity to organize the group and her assistants, T/5 Don Timoney, Inga Nordness and 1st It. Gene Ryan.
 The show will be presented to- night at 700 pm. for the second time.

Robinson-Docusen Go Set For Tonight

CHICAGO, - (P) Champion Ray (Sugar Robinson, a little weary in his battle of the scales" weighed in today for his scheduled 15-round title scrap in Comisky Park with Bernie Docusen.
 The twice postponed fight is set for tonight weather permitting.
 But if the Harlem Flash fails to make the required 147-pound limit in the noon ceremonies, the Illinois Athletic Commission may declare his welterweight title va cant.
 Robinson hit an even 147 when the bout was originally slated on June IT.
 Four days later Sugar admitted being overweight and the ring sharpies said he was up to as high as 154 pounds.
 The 22-year-old Docusen, a pol ished fighter from New Orleans, lost only two of his 58 scraps as a pro.

gested that we go visit couple
next door.
eth be warm there, I'm sure"
We asked her why she thought it
would be warm anywhere in New
York, much less in this apartment
building. from whose basement we
could hear the happy cry of PEN
gums as they frolicked on the lobby
floor.
Football Rally Bonfire.
AS it turned out, next door was
warm. The John Smiths, who lived
there, had been wise enough not
to burn either their sofa or curtains
during the first few weeks OF the
fuel shortage. Now they were burn
ing them. 1t felt mighty good to
relax on a sofa that was leapinE'
in flames like a college football
rally bonfire, and to toast ones
hands on curtains ablaze like a
Christmas log. y
The Smiths didn't know what
they would do for heat the next day.
"All we have left to burn" they
said, sis the baby's crib, and it
seems a shame to make the little
fellow sleep on the floor"
just why there is such a fuel
shortage In New York and many
other parts of the country is hard
to understand. OF course, we are
shipping oil to all parts of the
world, but naturally the administra-
ton has enough sense, particularly
in an election year, to see to 1t that
those countries which get our oil
send us back something in return
that will burn. Not one Of us, even
as cold as we were, suspected our
Government, our own Government,
of being so short-sighted or crazy
or whatever you want to call it, to
be SO solicitous of the rest of the
world that its own citizens would
suffer.
Just some far-sighted policy that
is too deep for us, we all agreed.
Or perhaps, the oil that Russia Is
sending us has been delayed. :.

Issuance of Roosevelt Passport Urged
To Solve Problem of Displaced Persons

4 then suggest that a noninterest-
bearing fund shall be set up for the
purpose of issuing to holders OF
these passports loan Of not more
than $500, to be repaid within five
wears. And Herewith the places OF
their confinement shall be opened
and they simply shall be allowed to
go.
There will be no more jobs for

tinuing appropriations no more
problems at all. No one will have
to be paid a salary to consider how
to place the displaced. Each will
place himself, just as you and I
placed ourselves and all our anceS-
tors placed themselves. They will

Away From Progress"
Yes, what I propose is astonish-
ing. Imagine entertaining the idea
that any one under the control OF
an institution should be decon-
trolled, or suggesting that mans
body is his own to take where he
pleases! We would be moving back
ward, away from progress" toward
the time when there were no pass
ports, and people went where they
wished, to seek q job or admire the
scenery, and If they didn't find a
job or like the scenery, they picked
up and went elsewhere.
Dreadful to begin to return to
such dark age! For Is 1t not the
new ideal that everybody, eventu-
ally, should be "placed"-in a work
brigade, an area, a camp-under
boards to feed, police, and indoc-
trinate him? Do not people see
that to be placed is only the other
aspect of being displaced? And that
at all times men place themselves, in
the quest of opportunity, far more
efficiently than others can do?
Neither UNRRA nor IRO has
solved the problem. But each and
every person constituting it could
solve it for himself. It needs no

It was obvious from the day the
Soviet note was received that Mos
COW was building up political cap
ital for the Italian Communists.
The Italian elections are expected
to take place in April.
For the present the Communists
seem convinced that they can OBJ

that the Communist parties

Togliatti's Chances Fair.
The almost unlimited funds placed
at the disposal of Palmiro Togliatti,
the Communist leader, for electoral
purposes by the Soviet government
and the Partisans' strong tactics OF
intimidation give Togliatti a fair
chance of success. These chances
would be enhanced in the event of a
violent Communist campaign on the
issue of Italy still being occupied
by the American Navy"
Since the end Of December the
Communist propaganda machine
has attacked the government vio-
lently for allowing American war
ships to visit Italian ports. Demon
STATIONS were organized by party
members, who paraded through the
streets of laramie, Naples and
Spezia protesting the presence OF
"capitalist-imperialist' warships in
those ports.

tic curtailment of liberty parties
from our men-of-war. 1t was con-
ceivable, in the opinion of the Ital-
ian government, that the Italian
people, being concerned over the
lack of food and other essentials OF
life, might be influenced more by
Communist arguments than by the
international aspects of the matter
and the Italian governments right

which calls for direct action, that
is to say, a general strike and open
rebellion against established author
ity.
Mr.. de Casper and his colleagues
hope to defeat the Communist
plan B" with available government
forces, although they realize that 1t
will be a tough JOB to match gov
eminent forces against the 1000
well armed and trained Red Par
tisans.
The principal danger. however
in the mind of the present Italian
government, is possible intervention
by Yugoslav forces in the domestic
affairs of the country. This inter-
vention could take the same form
as intervention by the Slav states
in Greece. But in such event, Mr..
de Gasperi thinks, the matter would
become of international importance
and could be brought before the
U. N.
Propaganda Ammunition.
The chief concern of the nom
Communist parties in Italy today Is
to prevent Moscow from acquiring
fresh propaganda ammunition and
turning the friendly visits of units
of the American fleet in the Medi-
terranean into an argument that
the United States is seeking to DOM
mate Italy, not only economically
but also militarily.
A violent campaign against the
Marshall Plan already is being
waged in italy, as in the rest OF
Europe. The economic support we
have so far given that country
either from direct appropriations OF
out OF the kindness of the American
people, has been violently attacked
as evidence of American imperial
ism trying to take over the country
Strangely enough the Communist
campaign has been more successful
than logic would permit us to be-
lieve. Hence, it is even more likely
that the propaganda campaign
against American warships would
be even more accepted as truthful
by the italian people.

Pauley Problem Solved
Administration Proposal on Tidelands
Oil Properties Soon to Reach Congress

tains gestures of extreme amity
toward the tidelands former owners,
the States. 1t proposes that the
Federal Government return IS per
cent OF its royalties to the various
claimant States and contribute an
additional so per cent to the recla-
nation funds of those in the group
having such funds.
This would mean that a reclama-
ton state would actually enjoy IS
per cent of it's former tidelands
revenue, Washington contenting it
self with Is per cent. It is hoped
that this will prove an effective
answer to bills already in the hop
per under which the Federal Gov
eminent. would quitclaim all tide
lands titles.
The administration Is aware, OF
course, that what constitutes equity
to- Mr.. Pauley has at this point
highly political tinge. No pains
have been spared on the new plan.
Defense, Interior and Justice all
worked over the final draft and 1t
was cleared with President Truman
personally by Attorney General
Clark and Secretary Krug. In q
further effort to divest himself OF
its political implications, the Presi-
dent directed the departments to
send 1t to the Hill rather than
sending it from the White House.
Pauley Leader in Fight.
Mr.. Pauley, easily the most con-
troversial figure of the Truman cir
Gle, was a leader in the fight to re-
tain tidelands title to the States.
His assiduous efforts to thwart the
Federal Governments suit to assert
its ownership were depicted In vo-
luminous detail in the hearings on
his nomination for Undersecretary
of State and played q large part
in that fiasco.
The Supreme Court settled the
ownership issue last June % with a
decision asserting the Federal Gov
ernment's paramount interest In
the marginal sea" from low water
to the three-mile limit, extending
along the entire coast. Justice has
a motion pending before the court
for a more exact definition OF the
tidelands boundaries.
1t has told the court that as a
matter of equity it does not intend
to claim back runs prior to June
q last.
Mr.. Pauley will soon retire from
his post as Assistant to the Secre-
tary of War but he cannot retire
from public attention. The bills
proposed by Western Republican
Senators quitclaiming title to tide
lands oil do what Mr.. Pauley
wanted, yet the administration, as
they fully realize. must answer fol-
any act affecting his interests.

Committee Sought Publicity.
The committee found the country
eager for publicity against the big
bankers and munitions makers.
With its appetite whetted by the
very publicity 1t received, the COM
mittee sought for more. Its chief
investigator, Stephen Raushenbush,
in a large sense, constituted the
committee and generally directed its
activities.
He was eager to get the committee
into the headlines and was very
careless about the effect his publicity,
which often consisted of mere
rumors and half-truths, would have
on other governments, to say MOTH
ing of our own people.
Moreover, the Senators on the
committee, as so often occurs in
such situations, were entirely too
disposed to permit their chief in
vestigator to have his own way.
In the executive department it
was evident that no one could

The mere hint Of an investigation

was laudable.
Difficulties Started.
The committee, after spending
the summer Of 1884 in examining
documents and amassing evidence,
began its hearings on September 4.
Almost Immediately our difficulties
with other countries started, too.
The Buenos Aires government pro-
tested certain allegations from the
committee concerning an Argentine
admiral. The British Acting For
eign Secretary Vansittart sent a
very sharp protest over rumored
charges concerning King George v.
The Mexican government protested
references to President Rodriguez.
Other Latin American govern
ments objected to charges of bribery
involving some of their high off1-
Gals. The Chinese government pre-
sented an aide-memoirs denying the
testimony that a $4,000, 900 wheat
loan from us had been used to buy
arms.
Consequently l. went to- see the
Nye Committee in person on Sep

with them. I pointed to the dam
age being done to our foreign rela-
tons as publicity was given to mere
rumors involving the heads or high
officials of other governments
Thereupon Senator Nye composed q
