so they can decide whether he
is ready to be released from the
hospital.
Andy" as ne is known to his
ward mates at the hospital. is
ready-even though he has no legs
and only one arm.
He wants to get back to his ma
tive Puerto Rico and finish his
training as an electrician, which
he started in Baltimore before he
went into the Army.
Yesterday he held sort of
good-by press conference in the
sunroom at the end of Ward 35.
For the benefit of photographers.
he took a few halting steps on his
artificial legs.
The legs and arm had to be
especially designed for him by
the Army Prosthetics Research
Laboratory, because he has no
stump at all for one leg and
only a few inches where the
other leg and his right arm used
to be.
The effort involved in using
the artificial limbs, which he has
had only since the first of this
year, caused the sweat to stand
out on his brow.
Andy has been waiting a long
time to get out of Walter Reed.
He was wounded on Armistice
Day, 1850, just nine days before
his 22d birthday.
It happened within 40 miles
of the Yalu River in North Ko-
rea. Corpl. Gomez was a ma
chine-gunner with the 7th Divi-
sion.
A rifle company ahead of his
was surprised by the enemy. He
had to throw his machine-gun
into action with no time to dig
a fox hole. He pumped more
than $500 rounds into the enemy
lines before they dropped a NOR
tar shell on his position.
In addition to the three ampu-
tations. Andy sustained multiple
shell fragment wounds to the
body.
Since he has been in Walter
Reed, where he arrived on De-
cember 4, 1850. Andy has received
about $4,000 in gifts. In addition,
the people of Aibonito, his home
town, have been taking up a COL
lection to help him build a house.
But he plans to settle and build
a home for his parents, two young
er sisters and younger brother
near San Juan. There's more
market for an electrician there.

BELGRADE Up, - Hungry for
new markets and new sources of
raw material, Yugoslavia has been
developing in recent months closer
trade relations with Turkey in a
move which may strengthen re-
lations between the two southeast
European countries.
This country, woefully short of
textiles, is dickering with Turkey
for large scale purchases of cotton.
For its part, Turkey wants wheat,
dried fruit, cement, some finished
goods and manganese.
Business between the two coun-
tries so far has largely been car
ried out on barter basis. For ex-
ample. Yugoslavia recently signed
a contract for 5000 tons of wheat
to be paid for in cement and wood

NEW JERSEY IN OHIO

= tell you, Judge, that Ohio

you ever saw. But the piece I'm
tsliing you about specially iS be-
tween the Big and the Little
Miami. Starting with the Ohio
River on the south, I'd recon-
mend that you buy just as much
as you can."
It was a conversation something
like this that probably led Judge
John Cleve Symms, Revolutionary
War veteran and member Of the
Continental Congress, to turn his
mind seriously to the formation
of a company to purchase tract
OF rich Ohio land.
! Judge Symms' informant was o
fellow citizen from New Jersey,
Major Benjamin Sites. In 1855
Major Sites took a long trading
and exploration trip to the sill
little known Ohio country. On
his return be met Judge Symms
and made his report. Then Judge
Symms went West and in 1888
came back as enthusiastic as
Major Sites. The same year his
company received q grant OF
1000, 900 acres.
| Judge Symms then turned ad-
vertising man. Being a war vet
eran, he directed his advertising
to fellow veterans. Discouraged
in the East, with adventure in
their blood, the idea Of establish
ing new homes In the West on
cheap land was appealing.
! His first advertisement called at
tention to lis grant and invited
their cooperation. Three months
later he published an elaborate
pamphlet in Trenton, painting the
advantages of the Symms Pur-
chase in glowing and inviting
colors. This was followed several

weeks later by another large ad-
vertisement. Finally there was a
notice that the New Jersey settlers
would leave Morristown for Ohio
on July !.
Judge Symms' enthusiasm got
him into difficulties. In order to
finance his operations he sold land
to which he had no title, result
ing in endless confusion in later
years.
His first sales were at sc "
cents an acre, then at $1.00. The
defeat Of the Indians by General

It's Your Orchestra

The annual campaign in support of the
National Symphony Orchestra is under way. Its
goal is the same as last year-$190000. That is
the amount needed to make up the difference
between income from ticket sales and operating
expenses. If it were not obtained, the orchestra
would be handicapped in its work, if not actually
forced to disband.
Perhaps more people ought to express their
interest in the Capitals most important musical
organization at the box Office. It is a matter of
history however, that few orchestras ever have
been maintained exclusively by direct revenue
This also applies to hospitals, churches, schools
and even Government. Each of these neces-
sary agencies of civilized society must find other

be traced to practical disbelief In

what we believe most.
We have been passing through day
which has become so broad and tolerant
that it actually resents spiritual beliefs
that are regal and which demand the
throne of ones being. Christian beliefs
about conduct, and man and God, have
been divorced from the deeds and plans
OF men. The goth century has indeed
been putting the cart before the horse.
The plight of our so-called democracy
in this year of our Lord is an ominous
indication that when it denies its spirit
ua1 foundations and turns from its altars
1t betrays its very life, and by slow
process begins to commit suicide.
Man has tried to revise the priorities

Cupt. CurIsen and Lord Jim

The story Of Capt. Carlsen on the
Flying Enterprise has an interesting
parallel (although the situation is re-
verseO with Joseph Conrads great sea
tale Lord Jim" In it, the young Jim
had taken a berth on the ancient
steamer Patna as chief mate, to carry
pilgrims to Arabia. The ship hit dere-
l1ct, was going down fast and Jim
jumped for his life. The rest of the story
traces the haunted Jim in his retreat
from the pitiless tongues of the East
ern ports to the deepest fastnesses of
the East Indies, where finally he walks
into the bullets of a tribal chieftain
on a point Of honor, a way he has
chosen to expiate his act Of leaving
the sinking ship.
In foreword to one Of the editions
Of the novel, William McFee, himself
a seagoing man, remarked that he had
presented Lord Jim" to a chief engi-
neer Of ship of the day. "a hard
bitten portly individual, an excellent
officer. and well read withal," who dep
recated in its entirety the Conradian
philosophy - The chief engineer:
yes. he knew the story out East, as
did everybody else. A ship which ran
over sunken derelict and broke her
back. The officer left her. Who
wouldn't? A million chances to one
against her lasting 10 minutes. Conrad
had idealized the mate Jim, that was

instance, romantic or workaday, it is

The Army Regrets

The announcement that two former Govern
nlent girls-Grace L. Patton and Eleanor M
Deak-have been cleared Of disloyalty charges
after four-year fight has been published In the
news columns. Army Secretary Frank C. Pace
has expressed his regrets and has offered REIN
statement with back pay to both Of them.
Behind these details, however, there is an
other story-the story of how the regulations of
these two young women narrowly escaped being
permanently ruined because the Army originally
refused to give them the information they needed
to prepare a defense.
The essence Of the complaint was that the
girls had attended Communist meetings, but they
were denied enough of the detail of the charges
to enable them to. prove their innocence. So
they were dismissed on suspicion of disloyalty,
But these girls fought back. With the aid
of sympathetic lawyers they went into court,
and, finally, the Court of Appeals here directed
the Army to furnish. them bill of particulars
setting forth the times and places at which they
allegedly attended the Communist meetings.
This was done, and the girls, armed with this
detailed information, were able to disprove the
accusations. The way in which they succeeded
in doing this is fascinating story in itself,
but the details of that appear elsewhere in
today'S Star.
The essential point here is that the Army,
without revealing the identities of any conf
dental informants or impairing any confidential
sources of information, was able, when ordered
by the court to do so, to give these young women
enough information to enable them to establish
their innocence. Had it not been for the court
the Army would not have done this, and two
regulations would have been forever ruined.
The obvious moral is that when claim of
need to protect confidential informants is raised
in a case of this kind it should be grounded on
fact, not fiction, and that even then it should
be subjected to the coolest kind of scrutiny by
the reviewing body.
