Johnson's Special Agent

Such hilarious reports have come back to the capital regarding Sen ator Harry Gains comic opera trip across Europe as The special agent of the Secretary of Defense" that Secretary Johnson recently com- plained to President Truman:
 But he isn't my representative. I never authorized him to go to Europe for me"
 No wonder Johnson is worried over lthek way , Cains poses as his special agent"
 The senator from Washington, dressed in the uniform of reserve colonel, recently lined up group of generals and .u- s, f diplomats in Germany. And waving a finger under the nose of two-star gen. eral he demanded, "Now, what's your problem?"
 The generals eyes popped. Not i wanting to be discourteous he mumbled something about lack of adequate reserves.
 Write me a memo" snorted Cain. 'I'll take care of that!' As the astounded officers dis persed, one general inquired "Is that guy crazy?"
 Note-The Senator from Wash ,, ington is not crazy, though his twin brother has been locked up in the booby-hatch.
 Not Enough Troops-Secretary of Defense Johnson complained of the manpower shortage at closed door session of, the Senate. foreign relations committee, but was re- luctant to do anything about it. He reported that the. Army is still six divisions short of its 18 division goal yet hesitates to step up the draft because of public reaction Johnson urged a law to authorize Universal Military Training, but said the time is not ripe to put UNIT in action.
 Home Front Preparations-Wi in thirty days President Truman will appoint a special board to ad- wise him on prices. The board will keep a careful eye on all major commodities and will have the power to slap controls on any pro- ducts that get out of line Truman is also planning to set up a new agency to take over CO., ordination of civilian defense. By the end of the year this new agency will be passing out Federal money

INTERESTING TALK H' GIVEN AT SkAGWAY'
 BY CRUISE DIRECTOR

SKAGWAY, Alaska, Aug. 25-
 Special to the Empire)-Under the
 sponsorship of the local Girls All Club. Edward Vidal, cruise director of the S. s. Chilcotin, presented a
 travelogue "A Voyage Around the World" during the stay of the steamer in port. In a lively enter taining manner, Vidal gave com mentary with the picture slides, of scenes and people at work and play from Zulu colony in Africa to a beautiful and colorful quiet park scene 30 miles south of London on the Thames River.
 From Port Elizabeth to Durbon in South Africa, q thriving metropolis of English speaking people the tra- velor took his audience face to face with a much bedecked native taxi driver in an elaborate head dress of the Zulu tribe On the desert sands of Arabia, the nornadic peo- pie of that country were pictured with their flocks of sheep and goats Across the calm Indian ocean the voyager took his audiepce to the vast country of India of many religions, peoples and customs. The Tai Mahal in it's splendor of arch
 itectural beauty showed the skill of workmanship of ages past in that country.
 In China, where the East meets
 West, visits were made to such cit
 ies as Hongkong, Peking, Shanghai
 and to the historical Great Wall
 where a group. of school girls were
 shown enjoying a picnic atop the
 structure. The colorful life of Tok-
 yo was. depicted in. street scenes
 showing shops and shoppers in native costumes. r. Perhaps the outstanding point of interest in Japan was the com mentary and picture of the statue WlllCll 10 oSbSA1A AASAAANA W feet high and has, stood the test of time and earthquake for over 80C years. e ytThe islanders of Bali, happy, care free in their simple way of living showed artistic skill in their hand carvings. The journey continued to the Hawaiian Islands, Panama Can al and. on tp England, the native home of Vidal. Rio De Janerio and other points in South America were included in the itinerary.
 At the conclusion of the illus traed travelogue, MT. Vidal delight ed the audience with several piano selections of folk tunes he has col lected from many different coun- tries. Following the program, the t4-H Club girls entertained Vida and the guests at reception in the dining alcove of the recreation hall Children and adults were again treated to the piano artistry of MT Vidal, ae

 Churchill Predicts War-Here is the inside story behind Winston Churdhill's stirring demand for. a unifieh Western European Army Before he made it, he told Paul Reynaud, ex-Prime Minister of France, that he is certain war with Russia will come before Christmas of 1851 and the west will lose all of Europe six weeks after the first shot is fired unless his plan is adopted. Churchill, drew much ap- plause but no supper. from the British government.
 Unification Works - Congratula- tions to the three secretaries ot the Army, Navy and Air Force for their { friendly teamwork. Sitting around the table, they work out mutu3 problems before passing them Ion to Secretary of Defense Johnsbn. This has done away with the inter-service pickering that used 
 to take place in Johnson's office, As a, result, unification is now working better than ever.
 Business Before Defense = The Army as having trouble buying parts for ifs equipment-because most manufacturers are still catering to private business. The Army can't get delivery on resistors for nine months, because civilian orders have priority. Yet resistors are essential for walkie- talkies and tank radios, badly needed in Korea. Dupont has also held up a large order of wire by raising prices on the wife covering So the entire order now has to be renegotiated.
 More Rent Controls-Housing ex- peditor Tighe Woods will ask Con- gress to restore his wartime power to control rents. He wants author ity to slap new controls on critical housing areas and to nulify the action of cities already decontrolled.

FEAR N

The prophets of economic doom
and the disciples of despair had
themselves quite a time March is.
On that tax-paying day they
shouted that the awful Fair Deal
is running the private enterprise
system. That there is no incentive
to invest in business. That there
is nothing ahead for industry but
bankruptcy. That we are headed
toward socialism.
These frightened and loud little
people forgot to read the news re-
ports that day. If they had, they
would have read that the stock
market reached its highest level
since August 1e48. Prices shot up.
Trading doomed.
Ard that was on the very day
which deadline for stock purchas-
ers to pay taxes on their invest
ment profits.
IT reminds US Of the day last
January when the President de-
livered his State Of the Union adj
dress. All the conservative
Gloomy Guses hollered "Ruin!"
But the stock market rose.

Review Of
Virgin Islunds Story
by JENs LARSEN

they said?" Not a word" was
the reply Of a tourist who visit
ed the Curb Market in Saint
ICroix. Another common re-
mark is, Look at those beau
;tiful old ruins; st. Croix must
have been a prosperous Island
many years ago"
To those who want to know
why some West Indians speak
as they do, and why one can't
understand a word they say
until you have become fami-
liar with their expressions,
the answer will be found in
Reverend Jens Larsen's new
book, VIRGIN ISLANDS
STORY.
There is also a vivid ac-
count of those prosperous
years when the old ruins we
see today were mansions for
the wealthy. The Islands
flourished and culture was, no
doubt, at the highest level in
their history.
VIRGIN A STORY
is one of the most charming
books I've ever read. The sim
pie but beautiful flowing Eng
lish, the large clear cut print,
and the interesting facts COW
ering several centuries of color
full history Of the Virgin Is
lands, make the book enjoy
able and easy to read.
Those who live here and
know something of the Is
lands background will be
fascinated. Many names Of
families still residing here
must have been linked with
the old families which bore
the same names two or three
hundred years ago. Many Gus
toms which exist today had
their origin from the most Gull
tural people Of many Euro
pean countries. The entire
book is rich in history, the
facts of which have been sub
stantiated from the Libraries
and archives of Denmark and
America.
AS stated before, Virgin Is
landers will be fascinated with
this book because it is i con-
Meeting Link between the past
and present. The old stories
which have been handed
down from one generation to
another will take on new i'm

Pepco Aids British Drive
To Raise Electric Output

The industrial know-how of the
Potomac Electric Power Co. is
helping England gear up it's elec-
trical output to meet commercial
and military needs, it was re-
vealed yesterday by the Economic
Cooperation Administration.
Details of American efficiency
were collected by a team of 80
British power experts who studied
operations of Pepco and a number
of other power companies in the
United States. Techniques which
would step up production in the
British plants now are being ap-
piled in England.
ECA said the British were i'm
pressed particularly with the
American practice of "preven-
tive maintenance" giving early at
tention to minor defects before
they caused major trouble.
