Federal control Of education and
which tends to handicap privately
supported schools"
DR.. Gould Wickey Of Washington,
secretary Of the church body's Board
Of Education Committee, declared
that II the report Of President
Truman's Commission on Higher
Education released earlier this year
was put into effect, education would
be "Federalized. socialized, vocation
allied and secularized."
The convention passed . motion
urging the colleges to "counteract
the trend Of secularism 10 prom
inent In American life."
Lutheran Unity Urged.
A call for Lutheran unity was
voiced today by DR.. p. o. Bersell
OF Minneapolis, president of the
Augustana Lutheran Church and 4
leader in the Lutheran World Fed
Grafton and the World Council OF
Churches.
I'VE are all praying for one Luth-
eran church In America" DR.. Ber-
sell said. God bless you and US In

In the discussion on higher edu-
cation, the Board Of Educa ton
spokesman brought out the urgent
need for teachers in colleges and
universities.
TO care for the increased enroll
ments in colleges and universities
in 1946-47, $1,000 teachers were
needed" DIR. Wickey pointed out,
land yet the previous June the uni
versities graduated only $500 doc
tors Of philosophy and about 10000
Masters. The present situation
challenges the church to encourge
its youth to enter the teaching pro-
fession."

"The Baited Blonde" which fea-
tured an extraordinary cast of char
acters engaged in fantastic doings
IN and around Port Said. Involved
In finding the missing pieces of a
secret weapon blueprint were the
Javanese stepdaughter of an Amer
1can boogie player, a French spy
disguised as bartender, a checker
playing priest on sabbatical leave, a
Mohammedan who travelled under
the name of Percy and the standard
beautiful blond.
Then Sax Rohmer's evil genius
showed up in The Shadow Of Flu
Manchu," another item involving q
secret weapon eyed by three coun-
tries. Since DR.. Flu Manchu Is

itations of time and space, he is
In p class by himself-which Is
probably all for the best.
A Moratorium on the
Psychological Themes
AS for the heavily psychological
themes-depending on what hap
pened to John or Jane at an early
age-the authors, as well as the
readers, apparently agreed to call
a moratorium. Among the few which
showed up this year were Lawrence
Treats ''F as in Flight" Kenneth
Millar's Three Roads" and Eliza
beth Eastman's The Mouse With
Red Eyes," all of which could have
been missed without great loss.
Where the newcomers particu-
larly distinguished themselves was
in the field of the suspense story.
In that they were joined by some
of the experts. Tops was Cornell
Woolrich's Rendezvous in Black"
the story of tortured mind seek
ing revenge. Written lightly but
with sure touch was Maureen
Sarsfield's "A Party for Lawty," a
second effort recounting the doings
Of murderer in a snowbound
hotel. Might Cry" by William L.
Stuart, boasted the years most un-
forgettable criminal-a police lieu
tenant in the dual role of hunter
and hunted.
Others Of that type deserving all
VIC popularity JIlty BOI were Taul S
Apartment" by Van Sillers, where
the suspense was created by the
contradictory Manderin Jones; "The
Room Upstairs" by Mildred Davis,
hair-raiser where even the hero
inc might be the villain; "Wilders
Walk Away" by Herbert Brean, an
uncanny item by a new but very
canny author, and "The Chocolate
Cobweb," by Charlotte Armstrong,
who knows hows to wiring the last
shudder out of a climax in a gas
filled garage.
These Crime Stories
Had a Fresh Look
Although by this time you might
expect crime creators to catch I'D
with the idea that there's nothing
new under the sun, a number Of
authors did produce yarns that at
least looked fresh.

her murderer in the midst of the

tries devoted to truth-telling Tn He

1.-TWO happy circumstances vi
talized an otherwise drab
year for the mystery lovers
who like their murders
craftily plotted and battling
enough to challenge their deductive
powers.
For one, several experts who have
been otherwise engaged for the past
lew years returned to puzzle and
delight their starved fans.
Secondly, half dozen newcomers
produced such f1rst-rate thrillers
that they created demand for
themselves among the crime cult
which almost invariably is reluc-
tant to accept anything new.
Unlike some of their one-shot
predecessors, this crop of first
timers didn't try unhappy expert
ments. While adhering faithfully
to the classic plot structure, they
combined above-average writing with
plausible plotting. They even in
troduced some sleuths who will be
welcome again.
among the veteran craftsmen, FL
lery Queens Ten Days Wonder
warrants special mention on two
scores. First, because it is this writ
ing teams first novel in three years.
But, more important, because 1t
gives the reader the most complete
spin of the year It's practically a
trend all by itself-a trend of max
ing typical whodunit setup into
something novel.
The Straight
Whodunit Formula
Actually, the Queen combine was
not alone in that. A number of au-
thors, particularly the newcomers,
apparently decided this was the year
to get away from such props as
international skulduggery and psy-
Geological maunderings and to con-
centrate on drawing the last ounce
OF suspense out of a straight who-
dunit formula.
Even Manning Coles deserted the
spy fold. The redoubtable Tommy
Hambledon in this years Among
Those Absent" was assigned to solve
the mystery behind a series of do
nestle jailbreaks instead of chasing
enemy villains across the face Of
Europe
Spy yarns didn't disappear en-
tirely. The most hectic Of them
probably was Robinson MacLean's

Work started last Saturday on, q
new indoor rifle range, which is
being constructed by the Libby Rod

about five feet of which is under

Star and the members of other
Chapters gathered at the Methodist
Church of Troy in the banquet room
Friday evening, May 7, at $50 p. m.
welcoming Worthy Grand Matron

Worthy Grand Matron's wish being
to complete plans for refurnishing
the Masonic home in Helena.
The setting was large wishing
well within an old fashioned garden.
The officers table had a beautiful
centerpiece of a miniature rock
garden, wishing well and a bird
bath. The rock garden also con-
tanned small garden of violets.
Down the center of the banquet
table pink tapers in star shaped
crystal holders tended to carry out
the Worthy Grand Matron's color
scheme of pink and lavender. Pink
SWeetpeas, and miniature wishing
wells, garden wheelbarrows and
Sprinklers of china, containing ivy
placed between the beautiful floral
arrangements of sweetpeas and
baby breath, ornamental birds and
butterflies completed the garden
motif
Favors for each guest were as
sorted packages of flower seeds.
Earlene McElroy entered wearing a
large garden hat, rolled up Jeans
and carrying a sprinkling can as
she sang, When You Wish Upon
a Star" Her encore was Mother
MacCree."
The introductions were cleverly
carried out in floral addenda by
the Worthy Matron, each honored
guest representing a flower. After
a happy hour spent in the banquet
room the members of the Order of
Eastern Star went to their beauti-
fully decorated Chapter room where !
the officers exemplified their work. |
Mrs. Delois Savage and Mrs. Irma |
KeSSler, two new candidates, re- |
ceived the degrees of the Order
The Chapter was honored by the
Worthy Matron's request that the
complete garden setting be sent to
her to be used in Grand Chapter
at Billings in August.

Music Department
Presents Progrom

A large and appreclatlVe audience
was present Tuesday evening at the
concert presented by the music de-
partment of Lbs at the Junior
High Auditorium. The program was
presented by the Girls Chorus and
the Mixed Chorus and the band
under the direction of Mr.. Dean
Vinal, who heads the schools music
department.
The girls chorus was first on the
program. Two of their outstanding
numbers were Bach's Jesus, Joy of
Mans Endeavor" and a Fred War
ing arrangement of Il Heard You
Cried Last Night" Blending of the
voices and Interpretation of the
numbers were excellent.
Following the appearance of the
chorus, the school band gave a
popular half hours program varied
with overtures, selections and mar
ches. Featured on this part of the
program were Saskatchewan"
Overture and the Sousa March, "El
Captain" The mixed chorus APP
peared in five varied numbers fol-
lowing the band The group made
a striking appearance with new
robes in which they appeared for
the first time at home. The mixed
chorus closed the evenings pro-
gram with five numbers, featuring
Fred Warnings arrangement of 'The
Battle Hymn of the Republic, which
possibly was the outstanding num-
Der of the evening. The number
had a two piano accompaniment,
and a baritone solo by Delbert Cox,
Pat Gooselaw and Mrs. Vinal ac-
companied the choral groups; and
Gretchen Gehrke was featured solo
list with the girls chorus.
Sup't Gillespie gave a short talk
following the bands part of the
program, telling of the progress the
music department has made during
the past two years, and discussing
the fine quality of the work done
several weeks ago at the Whitefish |
festival. It is a source of regret |
to music lovers here that Mr.. Vinal, |
who is completing his second year /
in Libby, will not return next year. |
He plans to attend the University
at Missoula and complete his work
for his Masters Degree. Mrs. Vinal
will also attend the school com
oleting her work for a bachelor of Il
arts degree in music education.

CURIOSITY CENTERS
AROUND NEW BOAT

For the past two weeks, a great
deal of interest has centered about
the construction of new type boat
at the home of Marvin Green. This
boat a departure from the types
standard in this locality, is similar
to the Canadian river boat.
It's shallow draft and increased
buoyancy should prove a boon to
fishermen, but of course there is
some skeptism among Marvin's
friends as to its being practical in
this locality
If successful, it will appease that
Cardboard Fever" that smites all
boat fishermen at this time Of year.

Baltic Rebels Build
Resistance Movement
Against Red Terror
By Fred Sparks
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and
the chicose Dolly News

the chieose Dolly News
LONDON, Oct. 27.-Here in free
England, I have been speaking to
many young men, recently escaped
from behind the Iron Curtain, men
who belonged to small bands in
Latvia, Estonia, Lthuania or the
Polish Ukraine.
Below I have tried to piece to-
gether the story of one typical band
I. in Estonia.
The band is composed of 40 men
the Oldest 81. Look at a few:
There's that fellow with the scar
on his right cheek. He refused to
serve in the Red Army.
There's the youngster with the
weak chin and horn-rimmed glasses.
They "liquidated" his fathers pros
porous bank and his father.
They shipped his mother and sister
to Siberia. His soft, cocktail-hour
hands took a long time to redden
and harden for use in the spanking
cold of a Baltic forest. But don't
fool with him now. He carries
6-inch "sticker" in his belt. He
would cut a mans throat just like
he used to deal a bridge game.
Leader Is Only 80.
Then, there's the 32-year-old
leader. He was trained to teach
Estonian history. The Russians
ordered him to teach, instead, the
glories of Lenin and Stain. One
day he cracked wise at Soviet scala
wags. A student. chief stool" for
the youthful Red Pioneers, de-
nounced him. He left Tallinn one
hour before the security" police
shouldered into his home. They
pitched his wife down a flight of
stairs, marched her to prison wear
ing nothing but skirt.
This band has no plan. The men
are reluctant to escape to England
via Finland or western Germany.
They wander from tiny hamlet to
logging camp; from lakeside village
to coastal cave. Everywhere they
find a friend: q handout.
1t is as if 40 men-sought by the
United States Government-wan-
dered around the Rockies. And the
few citizens residing in that harsh
waste were their friends.
They have some arms-old Ger
man lugers, Italian carbines. Rus
sian hand grenades.
Occasionally Strike a Blow.
On occasion, they strike a blow
or what they think is q blow-for
freedom.
A couple of fat Russians-em-
ployes of the occupying power-are
on fishing trip. Silly souls, they
make their campfire on the edge of
a forest. And one night, while they
are snug in the folds of their Sleep
ing bags, they are rudely kicked
awake. A few unpleasant hours fol-
low, sure departure to the next
world.
The Soviets are stripping great
forest patches for use in rebuilding
shattered Stalingrad. Rail lines and
costal steamers puff to Riga, then
on the main line to Stalingrad. One
night the band mines aeurve on the
highway. A timber -heayy train
chugs along, goes crashing and
tumbling like an electric top jumped
|by Great Dane. A Russian en-
|gtneer survives the crash. They play
lists on his face for q spell, then
hang him from . towering pine tree.
These are acts Of little Importance.

But 1t makes the little band feel
better.
And the secret radios and clam
destine presses soon learn of the
nasty acts Of hatred. And then it
makes others feel better.
