an English-language newspaper.
BANGKOK EDITOR makes in
teresting reading. It IS the story
Of an American newspaperman
who makes good under not only
difficult, but fantastic conditions.
Too, it is the story Of the strange
and charming country with which
he fell in love, and of those poll
teal plots and struggles which
made the headlines throughout the
world.
When Macdonald took an
abandoned Japanese press, he
rounded up some Siamese type
settlers who knew no English; got
two japanese pressmen released
from a detention camp, and set up
shop in a palace where king had
once INDUCED IN luxury. NO news
paperman had more weird mix
ture on his editorial staff. There
were indiana, Siamese, Eurasians,
and lone German, none Of whom
had ever heard of those sacred
five WIS of journalism.
His adventures are always high
ly entertaining and in the telling
he provided a colorful word pic
ture of newspaperman carrying
out the good old American tradi-
ton in an exotic little kingdom
thousands of miles from home.

OF DEFENSE

In answer to an inquiry Secre-
tary Of the Army Gordon Gray,
emphasized today that there has
been no change in the policy con-
corning equality of opportunity IN
the Army as announced on Sep
TENDER 80, 1949. He said that an
administrative message sent to the
Army Commanders on October Il,
1o4o violates this announced policy
and that as soon as it came to his
attention, he ordere dit rescinded.
Secretary Gray said that no in
dividual who qualities for a Mill
tary Occupational Speciality will be
denied the opportunity to follow
| it because of race or color. This
policy guarantees that qualified
Negro soldiers will be given an
equal opportunity with other quail
fled soldiers to practive their spe-
cialties if vacancies exist for thess
speoialtieS.
Secretary Gray stated that it
was anticipated that as result Of
the announced policy qualified Ne
gro specialists would be assigned
to some white units. He said this
does not mean that existing Negro
units will be broken up or that
Negro personnel Of these units will
be scattered throughout the Army.

reputation for reconciliation re-

talking to him, you lose your anti

Not a member of D. A. himself,
merely the founder organizer,

PORTRAIT OF JERRY
by Jack Overton

Let the story Of Jerry and Au-
dreys.be a lesson to you readers.
Here were the lives Of two peo-
pie, wrecked through outside in
reference, gossip and jealous peo-
pie - two people who loved each
other sincerely. Here was mis-
understanding, misplaced pride
and stupidity.
Audrey went seventy-five per-
cent Of the way in her marriage
to make it succeed. It was she
who patched up everything in
spite Of Jerry's wildness. She
made excuses for him. She ana
lyzed his family background, his
lack of experience when young !;
she forgave everything. But even
iron wears out, and after awhile
when he grew holder, more COM
mon and more evil through asso-
citation with low, unprincipled peo-
pie, she had to let him 60.
But Jerry although smart and
hard worker, had little common
sense and little intuition. But he
did love Audrey, and for long
time he resisted all efforts to
separate them. He needed her
sincerity and her truth.
The drip method finally wore
him down. In order to- look big
in the eyesight of others, he let
them dig up supposed dis1oyalty
from Audrey. These facts had
beena honest attempts Of Audrey's
to save. him from further disaster,
but he allowed the warped and
inferior minds of evil dirt diggers
to influence him. He took their
advice. 10
Audrey would confide in him
and bring the conflicts to light.
She would admit any mistakes she
made. She would tell him the eff
forts people made to prejudice her
against him, and this "sufacing''
would cure all difficulties.
Chicago world. (Chicago, Ill.) 1918-????, 1949-11-26

But Jerry would allow his Jeal-
ouSieS, his conflicts and his pride
to root around inside Of him and
bore underneath. For revenge,
he would do something he thought
would crush Audrey, hurt her
pride, and humble her.
Something that would embarass
her; but he was only hurting him
self, his future and making him
self look foolish, and wasting his
life. g,
Audrey, after being hurt for
years, grea immune to these fol-
lies. She knew that Jerry would
wake up when it was far too late.
She knew that she was not the
only one in the world who had
suffered. She knew that self-pity
would get a person nothing. She
turned to God and work, and tried
to make something out Of the rest
Of her life. She had courage.
But it was hard. It was a lonely
life for a mans woman, a woman
who had married young, who had
wrapped her entire life around
her husband to the point Of neg
lecting her own talents, and her
own career.
It was hard to be without a
husband, to parry the usual
thrusts Of men toward a woman
alone, one whom they felt needed
companionship and was helpless.
Audrey was osemwhat old fash
Toned, she wasn't "hep', as the
cats. She knew how to protect
herself, but her sensitive heart
was aften bleeding and raw.
Somehow with the help of God,
she managed to maintain a GER
tain amount Of calm, of equil1i-
brium. Loving life, she could not
shut herself away in shell, but her
JOY and her happiness was incom-
p1ete and such is life ...

A GODDESS TO A GOD

Author: John L. Balderston anC

Publisher: The Macmillan Com
pany, 90 Fifth Avenue, New
York, N. Y.
+ Price: $500
! Reviewer: William Henry Huff
| 1t is highly likely that if the
bard of Stratford-on-Avon had
known as much about Cleopatra
rs the authors Of A GODDESS
TO A. GOD know, he probably
would have painted a far different
picture of her. The authors have
portrayed her wildly because. they
know her not only from a eWst-
4rn point of view, but from an
Eastern one as we'll.
In this novel; cleopatra reveals
4erself to Caesar in a series Of
letters. She. is the heiress of a
treat tkaslit len, fromqthee pl1iloso-
bher, Zeno, and Alexander, the
fonqueror, while Caesar is the po-
tiafaff1astefs 6fs'a ArieM'H,ordd' III
ahe making. Their child is third
ihember Of a mighty trinity which
hay bring about a Sun State"
in which men will live as brothers.
1t was this dream that proved to
be C1eopatra's undoing.
In this novel, the authors paint
with magic co1ors a period in his
tory which has had too illumina-
ton. Not only with profound
knowledge, but with inspired con-
lecture, they tell poingnant
story and create spirited por-
trate Of remarkable woman, and
through her, a great man. The
net result is a triumph of art and
intelligence.
John L. Balderston was born in
Germantown, Pennsylvania; edu-
Gated at Western Bearing School.
He attended Columbia University
from 1911 to- 1914, and from 1912

Delinquency And Adult Probation

Two recommendations made at the annual convention
of the State Association of Crime and Delinquency last
week are both wise and sound.
One concerns the setting up Of a constitutional board
to administer the affairs of the two state institutions for
juvenile delinquents, and the other a state adult probation
law.
We recall the expose last year of conditions at the
Columbia Training School for Juveniles. They were heart
rending, inexcusably brutal and deplorable, and stemmed
from the injection of politics into institutions charged with
dealing in human lives. An administrative reform has
to a large extent rectified these conditions, but measures
are necessary to make sure they are not repeated.
The entire program of the schools should be aimed
towards training and making useful citizens of the UNI
fortunate children that are sent to them. This takes train
ed. competent personnel and not political appointees whose
only approach to juvenile problems Is rigid and unreason-
ing punishment and production of crops with the child
labor Of the unfortunate inmates. A board charged with
the responsibility of administering the institutions could
accomplish the necessary reforms free from political inter
ference.
An adult probation law would not only be a sound
step in Mississippi, but it would also be to its economic
advantage, If properly set up and administered. Adult
probation does not mean the coddling of confirmed Grim
inals, but ii does mean giving a man who has made a
misstep a chance to r%ehabilitate himself, and support his
family and dependents while doing it. 1t means that he
can remain in familiar surroundings and under family in
fluence intead of being thrown into close contact with
hardened criminals where the influence would tend to
crystalize the one offense against society into a criminal
career.
The probation period would be spent under the super
vision of a trained probation officer, and a violation of
probation would give the sentencing judge the power to
put into effect at once the suspended prison sentence.
Every session of the legislature we hear of the profits
made at Parchman penitentiary. Actually, these profits
are illusory, ,The welfare funds paid to families of peni-
tertiary inmates are not measured against them, neither
are the human values of lost opportunities of rehabilitation.
The probation board would also undertake the parole
system now in effect in the state and would, we believe,
eliminate the abuses and political manipulations that have
become a common practice.

1t should be drawn to the at

We have all experienced the

the ingalls, shipyard was busy
building ships with a result of
thriving business for almost ev-

seen the results of a hull in the
shipyard business causing a gen

Now Mr., ingalls, has secured a
new contract for Building the new

doubt make Paseagoula and Moss

In addition to this it is my under

this community has been look

this ? OF COURSE Mr.. ingalls, is. ,
Don't you think that a man who
has done all this for pascagoula
deserves q little pat on the back
in appreciation for all the things
he has done for us in the past.
Through his efforts a brilliant flu
