Ernie Smith Leads
NarnesS Drivers

Ernie Smith, the veteran
Washington Court House sulkq
man is using Fort Miami Race
way as another stepping stone
to a driving season which his
harness racing rivals may find
hard to match.
AS the big summer meeting
here swings into another nine

we'll out in front of the driving
talent on hand here and figures
to breeze home in front of the
pack when the meet closes out
here July so.
Smith, who arrived here after
a great stretch at Aurora Downs
in which he led all the drivers
at the big Illinois show, has
amassed well over 125 points on
the basis of five for a win, three
for second an done for third.
/ Right behind is young Denzil
Berry who is around the 100
point mark himself and Bob
Taylor and Russ Wickersham
are pressing up toward the Sec
ond spot and so is Scotty Welch,

Charlie Bewley, Ted Aldrich,
Joe Marsh, c. Norris, Joe Hag-
Ter, Eddie Rouch, Clair Snyder
and almost a score of other
drivers have a chance to swing
in front if things go right.
The closeneSs of the competi-
tion here has kept the field of
pilots pretty well punched with
Smith moving out in front by
virtue of some spectacular driv-
ing of late and all-around con-
sistency.

Gone Forever

] walked beside a stream today
Where | played as a little boy;
My mind returned to the time ]
spent
And of days that were filled
with JOY.
In early spring when the violets
bloomed
And the suckers came to spawn;
In summers heat with the crick-
cts chirp,
The days were ne'er too long.
When I laid on my belly with a
willow pole
And dangled a wiggly worm,
In front of a suckers rubbery
mouth,
Waiting for the hook to turn,
And My How the mushrooms
sprouted UP
round the ash trees up the
swale:
And once when | caught a
twelve inch bass
| thought I'd hooked a whale.
And always when l got so dry
I'd run to the watering trough
And fill myself with water so
clear,
| could hardly hold enough
Down near the bridge by the
deepest hole
On the willows lowest limb
I'd hang my clothes safe out of
sight,
And in Natures garb I'd swim.
But today the stream Is just a
run
In the eyes OF one full grown,
And the pleasures ! knew as a
lad

justified.
Effective Help to Puppets.
So far the. Russians have given
effective but concealed help to
their puppets. Should the United
States at this 11th hour start
sending military experts and ad-
ditional war material to the
Kuomintang, Russia, which has
officially recognized the Mao Use
Tung regime as the legitimate
government of China. might
hasten to support its puppet
openly. The Chinese Communists
are by way of undertaking a
difficult amphibious landing op-
Grafton for which they are un-
prepared. They have neither
sufficient landing craft nor avia-
ton to overwhelm the defenders
of Formosa. Any half hearted as
sistance we may give Chang may
be answered by the Russians
sending airplanes and landing
ships to the government they
now recognize officially. Their
action would be strengthened
from the International viewpoint
by the fact that India and Burma
have already accepted the Chinese
Communist regime as the legal
government of China. Under
these conditions, it is said by
some State Department policy
makers, we would be rendering
disservice to the Nationalists
rather than helping them.

versing their non-intervention

complete support in ensuing
events.
Despite the convulsions in many
lands where the concept OF hu-
man freedom is suppressed or
under assault, Japan's free.inStitu-
tions progressively have strength
ened. The individual citizen is
grasping with increasing under
standing and firmness the politi-
cal responsibility which attaches
to the sovereign power. The public
opinion is giving striking evidence
of its insistence upon RESPONSE
bility in government, and public
officials are showing a growing
consciousness of their response
bility for the stewardship of pub
lie affairs.
The police of Japan have made
rapid strides in organization and
training and proved that they can
adequately cope with the prob
lens of enforcing the law and
preserving the public order as
servants, rather than masters, of
the citizenry.
Advance Toward Self f-Support.
With the continuation of the
noble support of the American
people rendered a PROSTATE Japan
in her hour OF most desperate
need, a further broad advance has
been made toward the self-sup-
porting economy which is the goal
of every Japanese citizen. The
adoption of a truly balanced con-
solidated budget in the last fiscal
year and the projection of one
similarly balanced for the next
has largely corrected the infla-
tionary fiscal practice which per-
sisted in the immediate postwar
years, strengthened the govern
ment's financial position and es-
tablished the foundation for a
sound system of public finance
based on the capability of the
peoples support.
The volume of currency out
standing has been stabilized, and
for the second consecutive year
provision has been made for debt
retirement. Marked Improvement
in tax collections evidences an in
|creasing consciousness of the in
dividual's responsibility to support
the operation of his public insti-
tutions. The implementation of
the governments plans to estab-
lish a more equitable tax structure
and a fair and more efficient sys-
tenn Of tax administration will
equalize the burden and. it is my
hope, will permit substantial fu-
ture tax reductions over a broad
base.
Production has continued the
forward march initiated in 1916.
Coal, utilities and other basic
components of industrial activity
are gradually approaching their
prewar levels, thus furnishing the
sinews for overall industrial re-
covery. Consumer goods have
become available in increasing
quantities, and the production and

Any u. S. Assistance To Formosa

provided that it does not involve
us in any military adventure. This
new policy is believed to. have
been forced on the civilian heads
of the Government, who control
the military. by the fear of bitter
attacks in Congress. A number
of Senators and Representatives
have visited the Far, East and
talked at length with Gen. Mac
Arthur. He pointed out convinc-
ingly the dangers to our national
defense if the important West
Pacific island outpost fell into
Communist hands.
Fears Are Justified.
The State Department is, how
ever, justified when it now fears
that half-hearted help to the Ma
tionalists might hasten rather
than delay the conquest of For
mosa by Communists and bring
the Russians openly into the pic
ture. Token support of Chiang's
remaining forces would have been
useful early this summer. when
the Joint Chiefs of Staff are said
to have favored such Intervention
Now it is felt that. in spite Of
the Joint Chiefs recommends
tions. inspired principally by do
mestic political considerations, it
is too late for half-hearted
such as sending military
and economic advisers to Chang s
last stronghold.
The suggestion made in some
political and military quarters
that we follow scrupulously the
international law, and decide to
treat Formosa as portion of Jap
anese territory until peace with
Japan is signed, appears at pres
ent the only possible solution to
save that important strategic
island from falling into Russia s
hands. Such a step would permit
us under international law to send
to Formosa American and other
Allied land, air and naval forces
as we now have in Japan.
Any Chinese Communist at
tempts to land on the island would
then be treated as hostile act
not against the Nationalists but
against the Allies themselves. The
presence of Chinese troops in
Formosa would not be contrary
to the established rules Of inter-
national law since they were
of the coalition which
defeated japan.
Such a step would justify MILL
tary actions against any invading
force, just as we would resist an

will be different next month.

World Convention
BY the Assoeioisd Press

TUCSON, Ariz.. Dec. 3l.-Len-
ingrad. Soviet Russia, has been
selected as the site for the next
general assembly of the Interna-
tional Astronomical Union.
Scientists from all parts of the
world are expected to attend. EX-
act date of the meeting has not
been set, but it is expected to be
in August, 1851.
DR.. Otto Struve. American vice
president of the union, and DR.. J.
j. Nassau. chairman OF the Ma
tional Committee. made the an
nouncement at the 82d annual
meeting of the American Astron-
omical Society here.
Invitations Promised.
The announcement said word
had been received from Prof. A..
Mikhailov of the Academy Of
Sciences of the U. S. S. r. that all
participating organizations will be
invited.
Russia was granted the meet
ing after the United States with
drew its invitation. No other
countries entered bids.
Withdrawal of the United States
invitation was based on:
/. The American committee did
not want to compete with Russia
for the convention.
2. The scarcity of American dol
lars needed by European delegates
to make the trip.
3. Concern that some foreign
scientists suspected Of Commu-
mist leanings would be refused ad-
mittance to the United States.
Earlier In the day DR.. Struve
criticized the State Department
for not admitting a French as
tronomer he identified as a D.
Chalonge of Paris.
Consul May Have Blocked Visa.
The State Department said it
had no information on the Incl
dent, but conceded Mr.. Challenges
visa could have been blocked by
an American consul in France.
The announcement naming the
Russian city said some scientific
institutions in America have been
unable to secure admission for
foreign scientists suspected of
communiStic leanings.
After the United States invita-
ton was withdraws. Sir Harold
Spencer Jones. astronomer royal
of England and former president
Of the union, asked assurance all
participating organizations would
be invited to Leningrad.
The announcement said such
assurance was received by Presi-
dent Bertine Lindblad of Lund
Observatory at Stockholm In June.
