Take Back Brother
Bell Syndicate-wNU Features.
By KATHLEEN NORRIS

" \ RE WE supposed to well
n come a criminal back in
to our family, after he has spent
a year in jail?" writes Lucie
Phillips, 10 years old. my
brother Greg always has been
a mystery and a heartscald to
my father - my mother has
been dead for six years.
"Greg borrowed peoples cars
even when he was in grammar
school, borrowed money from Dad,
me and other relatives without any
by-your-leave, ran away twice and
finally, when he was 16, drove the
stolen car that took two other boys
to a cigar shop which they held up,
threatening the proprietor with
gun. The others got long terms;
Greg got one year.
"Now he wants to come home,"
the resentful and distressed letter
goes on. "Grandma, who lives with
us, thinks he ought to be taken in
and given another chance - and
probably have his breakfast taken
upstairs to him and his clothes
pressed and all that. He had started
drinking and will begin that again.
Every one of my friends will know
that my brother has a jail record.
He Needs Rehabilitation
dad wants him to come home
just long enough to get Strengthened
out, as he calls it. He says that
Greg is mothers son, that she loved
him dearly and that he'll need
clothes, baths, rest and general re-
Mobilization. I say 1 don't want to
have anything to do with him.
II ought to say" Lucie finishes
her letter, that Greg does not seem
like a criminal. He is good-looking,
thin, tall and very clever in speech.
He would have been very popular
but for his wild ways. Now he says
he wants to follow in Dads foot
steps and be a doctor, if Dad will

Navy Is Seeking Ships =
That Enemy Can't Hear

ANNAPOLIS.:-The U. S. navy is
attempting to develop ship engines,
that will be so quiet enemy listen
ing devices will be unable to detect
them. .... 49,
Experts have no illusions about
building a completely silent ship,
but they do hope to muffle engine
noise to such an extent that it will
be quieter than the natural sounds
that always seem to be going on
underneath the seas surface.

Truman Asks For
POstmasterships
Out OF Politics

WASHINGTON, (P)-President
Truman today recommended leg
islation completely rem o V n g
postmaster appointments fro m
politics.
In a special message to Con-
greSs he urged enactment of a law
to authorize the postmaster gen.
eral to appoint all poStmasters
subject only to provisions of the
civil service and classification
acts.
This would mean that the time
honored custom of the President
appointing first, second and third
class postmaSters-of whom there
are some 81, 000-Would be aban-
doned. Senate confirmation of the
Presidential choices likewise
would no longer be a part of the
routine.
Postmasters theoretically have
been under the civil service syS-
tenn for some time. But legislators
frequently have had a hand in
picking one of the first three pass
ing the examination and, further
more, the Senate for years has had
final say on confirmation. Fourth
class postmasters are appointed
by the postmaster general and do

A Vatican source said today the

by the communist government of
CzechoSlovakia is expected at any
time. Archbishop Beran, primate
of the Roman Catholic church in
CzechOSlovakia, has been accused
of anti-state activities by the gov

It is showdown fight between
the Catholic hierarchy and the

a device to divide church mem

service" without the permission
of the Russian controlled manage
ment.
The offer is being considered by
the railway management. The I'M
ion also offered to send work
squads out to repair damage done
during the early days of the
strike. They are striking for full
pay in West marks, instead Of less
valuable East marks, for job Sc
curity and union recognition.
