@. Who summarized the lessons Of his
tory in four sentences?-C. L.
A. DR.. Charles Beard, American his
torian. When asked if he could sum up
the lessons Of history in short book, he
replied that four sentences were enough:
Cd Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad with power. (2) The
mills Of the gods grind slowly, yet they
grind exceedingly small. 90 The bee
fertilizes the flower it robs. a. When 1t
is dark enough, the stars can be seen.
@. Have any serious race riots oc-
CURED since the beginning Of World
War II, comparable to those after World
War I?-J. M. M.
A. There have been quite a number.
The most important have been those at
Mobile. Ala. in May 1913: Beaumont,
Texas. in June 1943; Harlem. New York
City, in July, 1913; Columbia. Tenn, in
August. 1916. The worst and bloodiest
race riot occurred at Detroit, Mich. In
June 1943.
@. When were f1ngerprints first used?
r. =. 5.
A. The use of fingerprints as a sys-
tenn OF Identification is of very ancient
origin and was known from the earliest
days in the East when the impression of
his thumb was the monarch's sign
manual. There are records of the use Of
f1ngerprints by the Chinese as early as
200 B. c. They employed an impression
Of the thumb as sign for business and
legal transactions.
@. What are the mineral resources of
Japan?-A. I. B.
A. Coal and iron ore deposits are scat
tered and limited. Copper is really the
only metal with which Japan is ade-
quately supplied. This accounts for her
export of metal and parts of bronze and
brass implements.

speed of which McCallister got
through basic training.
However, anything the Army
had no time to teach him, he
had learned elsewhere, probably
from watching previous war
movies from Hollywood. At any
rate, the boy knows how to work
himself safely through all the
cliches of celluloid soldiers. In
his first engagement, trapped by
the North Koreans, he fights his
way out by mounting a bulldozer
and driving it right over the
Cook" machine gunners. AS the
script said earlier, the lad loved
to tinker with machinery al
though he had no reason to know
1t ever would pay off so well.
The same knowledge stands him
in even better stead in the pic
lures closing sequence. In this
one, he not only repairs a broken
railroad locomotive but ends up
driving 1t and a hospital train
through the whole North Korean
army.
Any latent excitement in deeds
of this scope is lost In "a Yank
in Korea" which looks more like
a movie than war.
The incidental characters in the
Met film are the standard stereo-
types, the tough non-coms with
the hearts of gold. the soldier who
has battle nerves. the CT who
always beefs about everything,
etc.
Like love in soap opera, the
thing they are dealing with Is
bigger than any Of them.

anything else Its single redeem
ing virtue is a kind of wide-eyed
innocence which makes the savage
war in Korea look like a double
cross of Producer Sam Katzman.
The implications of his picture,
starring Lon McCallister, are that
the war would be over by the time
1t was released. This gives Katz-
man and Columbia Pictures a kind
of extra personal reason for hat
ing Mao Tze-tung and his Red
Chinese.
The real Korean war drama
need not be afraid of any COM
petition offered by "a Yank in
Korea" In other words, the front
page story is far more dramatic
than the one on the drama page.
William Sackheim, who wrote
the script of the Nets thin melo-
drama, obviously did not have
much time to think about it. The
best thing he came up with-which
is not bad considering the speed
at which he moved-was that
letter of Pvt. John j. Mccormick
to his two children.
This was the touching missive in
which the young father, who was
killed in Korea, explained why he
WAS fighting there TT Is not IN
much misused In "A Yank In
Korea" as it is torturously dragged
into the picture.
This, Of course, is likely to hap
pen in the case of any movie
which is made at top speed with
the purpose of getting there first.
Producer Katzman apparently
was not listening which his
mother told him about the evils
of impatience when he was a
boy.
AS the hero of the Nets fea-
ture. McCallister is Billings
Falls (no state given) boy. He's a
lad who loves to tinker with
