deep-sea diver, prospector, game
hunter, 'mountie," sal0on-keeper
and government agent. They called
him "Thirty-Thirty" Jack after the
rifle he carried instead of the usual
six-shooter.
Up in Nome, for while ne went
into partnership with Tex 2ickard,
the famous prize-sght promoter.
Their bus. ness interests were cen

A few months ago he made d
trip TO Chicago which was his first

Preparation of plans and sFeclf-

Pettis and strout, with that phase
of the work financed from an inter
est-free federal loan which need not
be paid until money is on hand TO
complete the project.
Although a special election could
be called at any time to vote on a
bond issue, council felt there is
little likelihood Of balloting at ar
early date, for the financing prob
lem is one which probably cannot
be solved before terms Of the pres
ent council expire.
Only about one-third Of the cost
of the $150,000 system would be
paid from general Obligation bonds,
voted at the polls, under Suggested
program presented to council two
weeks ago by the Toledo engineer
ing firm.
Revenue bonds, Or sewer rental,
would pay nearly half Of the cost,
with 100000 earmarked from that
source. In addition there would be
$15o,000 in general obligation bonds,
on which a vote would be necessary;
plus a special assessment against
each village lot, amounting to about
S91 900.
The revenue bonds calling for
sewer rental charges and the special
assessment against lots can be put

But the matador doesn't get any
such break. Like matadors the
world over. he runs the risk OF
being gored and trampled, but Is

simply makes lethal gesture with
his sword, and then makes his

enraged bull.
It's just plain cute the way they
get the bull out of the ring. Left

On the Other Hand
President Gets Advice of Two Kinds
Concerning Court Choice

The court will determine the
permanence or impermanence of
many Of the achievements that
mean most to the President. These
achievements, in the legislative
field, have been and will continue
to be resisted by conservatives in
Congress. They will be resisted by
conservatives on the Supreme
Court bench. -
The President is fortunate in
not having inherited a court Of
the complexion that faced Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his first years.
all set to slash his program to rib
bons with their dull shears. On
the other hand, it cannot be de-
MED that courts tend to become
conservative as the judges age in
Office, despite such notable excep-
tions as Brandeis, Holmes and
even Hughes.
Signs of Paralysis.
Signs OF this creeping paralysis
have been visible in the marble
sarcophagus that now houses the
high court. Since death has made
necessary the injection Of new
blood, the President, not wishing
to have the good he has done
inferred with his bones, should
make certain the new blood is
warm blood. Of the kind that flows
from his own heart. The new
man should have that much in
common with Justice Murphy.
So, in effect, the President is
being advised by his Fair Deal
friends, those who have fought for
his program all the way. He Is
getting a different kind Of advice
from a different kind Of friend.
from what might be called the
Fair Weather friend. -
These stress the desirability of
promoting harmony in the Su-
preme Court. They profess to be
Mortified by the number Of dis
sents that have characterized the
record Of the present court and
even more by the vigorous Ian
guage sometimes used by the dis
senters. What Is needed now,
they urge, is some one who is not
inclined to have strong opinions
or who is more anxious to be COM
Portable than convinced. That,
they say. will restore dignity to
the court. They have their can
didates.
The President, being one who
never has put dignity above real
accomplishment, it will be surpris-
ing If these advisers prove per-
Suasive.

hands on the back Of his head for

But he didn't fool the bull. Before
the novice matadors could leap
into the ring and distract the bulls
attention with their big capes. the
bull had stomped Calero and made
half a dozen vicious lunges In an
effort to hook the matador from
underneath.
The apprentices finally got the
bull away and Calero, bounding to
his feet as if nothing had hap
pened, picked up his cape and
sword, waved away the novices,
and resumed the fight. No
Yankee Stadium crowd ever
cheered a Ruth homer more than
the bullflght fans did when Calero
eventually got the bull in position
for the kill" ".
Until you have seen a bullfight
and this was my first one
you cannot possibly comprehend
the raw courage of the matador.
If they fear injury or death. there
is no sign Of it. They seem to ask
for death, for as the battle mounts
they draw the maddened bull

would serve a positive present pur-
pose, while if they remained in re-
serve obsolescence would work
against them over 9 period OF
time. Furthermore, it is better for
ship to be in operation and be
maintained on active status than
to be put away in the best kind Of
reserve.
For reasons still unrevealed the
plan failed to materialize. but it Is
likely that the decision against 1t
was taken on the French side,
rather than the American.
Implications of Program.
Frances present program
which has yet to be approved by
the National Assembly-for the
completion Of these two big ships
carries certain implications.
In the first place. Frances eco
monte condition must be so much
improved that it feels now. for
the first time since before the war
that 1t can afford to spend the
billions of francs which these
ships will cost. The extent to
which the European Recovery
Program has contributed to this
military expansion only the
French themselves can say. but
it must have been considerable
It Is known that France has made
a degree of recovery under ERP
which is scarcely equalled any
where else in Europe.
In the second place. If the Mar
shall Plan can be credited with
some part In this new ability OF
the French to arm themselves, is
there not some moral in it for
those who are projecting Ameri-
can military aid to Western Eu-
rope in augmentation of the At
lantic Pact? A large part OF the
ST, 450, 100000 which President
Truman wants for the pact coun-
tries, Greece and Turkey. might
be we'll spent If it were used to
build armament in the beneficiary
countries rather than in this coun-
try, where such a large expendi-
ture would produce fewer arms
and would only add a new ele-
ment of competition for Ameri-
can supplies. already heavily
drained for the purposes of Euro
pean reconstruction. Such pol
icy of encouraging the Europeans
to build their own arms would
have the further advantage of
developing and maintaining a
Western European war industry
which would be ready to function
on a large scale If trouble ever
broke out.

premonitions expressed by Gandhi
himself about the probable short

Mr.. Sheean talked also Of the

and it seemed to me, too, that a
life such as Gandhi's. tied to
forces of violence and nonviolence,
would not quietly expire. Yet
Sheean's certainties were not
mine, and he has sometimes had
others that events did not sub

Compulsion To Go.
But there was certainly on him
a compulsion to go to Gandhi-

talks, an extraordinary and not
quite communicable experience.

shattered him for months.
Actually, it is only this age
which finds such experience outre.

The extraordinary experiences OF
saints are facts. Mr.. Sheean Is
not saint. but he is man with
an exceptional desire to find the
truth and live by it. He was like
Jacob wrestling with the angel,
and the liberating touch came.
He was released from numerous
things which he now witnesses
were errors: the chief being his
previous belief in dialectical ma
terialism. and in the idea that
human salvation could be assured
through any goddess theological
system"
