NEW ENTERTAINER DELIGHTS CROWD
 AT BUBBLE ROOM

Probably most or the persons who made up the crowd in the Baranof Bubble Room last evening went out of curiosity. to see what the new entertainer is like.
 They stayed to be captivated: to dance to Deladene Orr's fascinating rhythms on the Hammond organ, to enjoy her novelty numbers and to look at a pretty, vivacious young woman of charm and personality.
 "Del' combines a fresh, whole some appeal with true sophistica- tion. Besides, she is a skilled musi- elan, with a real talent for panto mime. She loves music and she loves people.

Arms Production Angle

Logistics is one phase of the
business Of providing an army
with the means to fight. The
other-and perhaps bigger-phase
is the business of producing for
defense. that is, the manufacture
of guns. planes, tanks and all the
vehicular equipment which a mod
ern army needs.
It was to defense production and
rearmament that the NATO de-
fense and foreign ministers ad-
dressed themselves last week in
the adoption of their final resolu-
ton at Brussels. They set up a
defense production board which
will do on the economic side what
Gen. Eisenhower and his staff will
be doing on the military side.
The Defense Production Board,
which supersedes an already exist
ing similar committee under the
EATO, will be in no way sub
ordinate to the supreme COM
mander. Yet, Gen. Eisenhower
needing the means with which to
fight if he has to, must devote
good bit of attention to stinlu-
lating defense production in all
the NATO countries which can
produce for defense.
He will be in constant contact

Russia's Shadow Falls Across the Middle East
Soviet Seems to Be
Loying Groundwork
For Another Koreu
By J. M. Roberts. Jr.

Russia, silhouetted against
the flames of war in Asia. is
throwing a long shadow over
the Middle East these days.
Observers have long felt that
Russia will seek to solidify this
southern flank and secure its
oil for her war machine before
any attempt TO conquer Europe.
Her first move after World
War II, much of Central and
Southeastern Europe having
fallen into her lap through the
armed occupation incidental to
the war with Hitler, was in Iran.
She sought to fomeut q "evolu-

Russia has not been expected
to start a direct war TOR the oil

working toward the time when
she can stage another Korea.
The Iranian government is not
pro-Russian--yet. But it is less
pro-American, and much worried

Far East and the possibility of
a general war, in which Russia

There are other troubles in
the Middle East. Russia is esti-
mated in several quarters to be
short of oil for war. The area
is believed to contain half of
the worlds reserves and actual
production has passed 100 mil
lion tons annually. Britain and
United States interests control
most of it. Some of the states
are dissatisfied with this ar
rangement. All of them are
politically unstable.

Practically nothing has been ac-

it was then, but Gen. Eisenhower

government concerned is willing
to subordinate itself to the needs
of the supreme commander as he
and his staff express them.

is that the defense of Western
Germany is going to depend on the
degree to which the Germans
themselves contribute to it.
Nevertheless, German support
may well be Influenced by NATO

vealed in the disposition of forces
within Western Germany.
Influencing stationing of troops
is their logistic support, that is
the provisioning of divisions with

supplies which an army carries in

Logistic support-at least for
the present - remains strictly

this can and will be done is one oil

Eisenhower's powers to act
promptly under varying circum-
stances. His power to act i'm
mediately is still in a twilight
zone and requires clariflcation.
One of the big handicaps be-
fore Gen. Eisenhower is the very
ambiguity of the North Atlantic
treaty itself. which-unlike the
Brussels pact-does not provide
for automatic reaction to aggres-
sion. 1t specifies that when ag-
gression occurs the signatories
shall take appropriate measures
to restore the situation, and it
sets up geographical area where
the treaty is operative.
Aggression Provision
Each of the IL NATO countries,
then. is left free to decide for it
self when an aggression has oc-
CURED and what measures are
appropriate to take. This pro-
vision was included In difference
to the American Congress insist
ence on its prerogative of voting
q declaration Of war.
The Brussels pact-the mill
tary organization of which ap-
pears to be dying a graceful
death at Fountainebleau - was
absolutely automatic, requiring
immediate reaction by all the
signatories in case of an aggres-
sion against any one of them.
Undoubtedly. an actual declar-
alton of war will have to be voted
by Congress if this country Is ever
to join in an all-out war effort.
But, like Pearl Harbor, the shoot
ing war may be on next time be-
fore Congress has voted and the
declaration of war, as in 1941,
may be more the recognition of
a fact than the commencement
of hoStilities.

Championship Triplett Softball
Team Has Fine Tourney Record

Triplett softball team, 1850 Allen
county champions, marched through
six flights of play in the district
tournament in Lima last week be-
fore dropping from the running for
the state championship.
In double-header assignment in
the district meet Monday night, the
county champions finally were elm
mated from further play, after win
ming the first game of the evening.
A brilliant to | extra-inning
victory over Van Vert National
Seal opened the Monday night bid
of the Triplett crew in their claim
for the district title, but they were
eliminated from further competition
by the star-packed Fostoria Pegg's
Paint nine, to 0, in the nightcap.
Gene Beach hurled alright ball
for Triplett in the victory over Van
Vert, but the count was knotted at
one-all at the end of the regulation
distance. III Tile SlSiIu liilliiis
Triplett finally broke through to
score the winning tally.
Rosendae's shutout hurting was
too much for the locals in the Mon
day night finale, and Triplett was
shut out to 0, although Triplett
runners three times were thrown
out at the plate.
To qualify for sixth round district
play last Monday, the Triplett team
on Saturday had beaten Findlay
Hoppenberger's, a to l, with Gene
Beach on the mound; and topped
Kenton Greenleaf Dairy, to 2, on
with Bill Stonhill doing the
hurting.

pionship the midpart of this month,
the Triplett team was the first out
fit outside of Lima ever to turn the
trick. Four years ago, Triplett was
runnerup for the county title, the
only other time that any team other
than Lima crews has survived that
far in the championship race.
