well at the helm. The gunner's
mate was in agony every time he
stood at the helm within range
of Queeg. The sailors who were
against Queeg went out of theil
way to be friendly with the gun
ner's mate, and tried to cheer him
up: and so the opposition came
to center around him.
In the wardroom there were
three distinct parties. One was
Queeg himself, daily more frosty
and secluded. One was Maryk,
retreated into q stolid, humorless
silence. maintaining whatever
contact existed between the cap
tain and his ship. He winked at
the circle of compliance. and set
himself the task OF keeping the
ship functioning adequately out
side that circle.
The third party included all
the other officers. with Keefer as
|ringleader.
This was the condition Of the
q. S. s. Caine when 1t crossed
the mythical line on the broad sea,
five days out Of Pearl Harbor. and
steamed into japanese waters.
The evening before the feet was
due to arrive at Kwajalein, Willie
has the eight-to- midnight watch.
He alone, beside the captain. knew
that the Caine was going to per-
form a hazardous mission at dawn.
One of the top-secret guard-mail
letters had contained new orders.
The minesweeper was to shepherd
a wave of attack boats from their
transport to a line of departure
only a thousand yards from the
beach. fairly into the muzzles Of
the shore batteries; the reason
being that correct navigation
would be hard for the low-lying
boats by themselves.
The eight-to-twelve watch was
uneventful, but at $3.50 in response
to q general alarm Willie came
bolting out on deck in his under
wear. clutching shoes, socks. shirt
and trousers. He saw o calm sea,
q starry black sky. and ships criss-
crossing here and there in the
melting formation. He slipped
his shoes on his naked feet and
scrambled up the bridge ladder.
The little space was crowded with
shadowy figures. Willie could
hear the rasping Of steel balls
rubbed together. He took his life
jacket and helmet from a hook
and approached the stoop-shoul-
dered form Of Harding. Ready to
relieve you. What's up?"
Nothing. We're there" Hard

Willie the glasses. Willie
saw, at the horizon, on the line
between sea and sky. q thin ir-
regular smudge, perhaps a finger
nail wide. "Roi-Namur." said
Harding.
Willie relieved Harding. Now
the sound of the shore lombard
ment came rolling across the sea
to his ears. but at this distance it,
was a mere trivial humping. In
plain fact, Willie's first glimpse of
combat was a disappointment. tt

mony in handling Church work, it
has always been known and re-
cognized that the Wardens Of the
Church are the trustees Of the
property. In the absence of any
demand on the part of Lutherans,
the houses at Pleasant Grove
have been rented to others.
Section II Of Article v Of the
Constitution of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church, Christiansted Is
here quoted:
'sThe Wardens shall be 2 in
number and shall act as the trus-
tees Of the congregation. It shall
be their duty to see that the pro
perty Of the congregation shall be
properly protected and that those
who are entrusted with the colac-
ton and disbursement of the
funds Of the Church and it socie
ties and schools do their work in
accordance with the rules and re-
gulations of the Board and the by
laws Of the congregation, and that
the records of the Church are
properly kept BY those appointed
for the work.
The right of+he wardens to rent
the house to non-Lutherans has
never been denied. The reason
for the departure from the origi
nal purpose lies ia the fact that
there are not many INDECENT per-
sons Of the Church who apply for
those houses. Under the authority
Of The wardens to protect this pro-
perry the houses are rented to
approved tenants, the money used
for assisting the carrying expenses
Of the property.
The wardens have never been
restrained from exercising the
same right to rent the smaller
houses as the right to rent the big

Mr.. Pearson after many hui
morous anecdotes, including q
joke that President Truman
told on John II. Lewis and
himself spoke of the disunity
ia national affairs which, he
said, We are suffering from.
Internally we have been torn.
BY factions and bitterness.
President Truman, he said,
will go down in history as a
man who has shown great
courage & foresight, and cited
his timely aid to Greece and
Turkey. # took great courage
To put across the Marshall
Plan. His own observations IN
Europe show that if the Plan
had not been adopted ! good
part of Europe would have
gone communist.
The North Atlantic Pact is
another item for which Presi-
dent Truman was given great
credit. One could see many
mistakes in the carrying out Of
these policies, nevertheless
the President will 90 down ii.
history for those policies have
kept q free world in a major
part Of Europe.
Mr.. Pearson said he could
cite many things to show Mr..
Truman has great courage;
greater than even President
Roosevelt. The latter was 4
skilled politician. He cited for
example, that Mr. Roosevelt

phia. Later he did what
probably no other President
had ever gotten away with.
When civil rights legislation
was held up ia the powerful
Rules Committee, which does
not take dictation from any
body not even the President,
Mr.. Truman wrote a letter
pointing out that the Commit
tee had pigeon-holed this le-
gislation and urging them to
bring it out for a vote one way
or the other. On the other
hand for many years President
Roosevelt only talked but
never put any pressure. + was
pointed out too that much Of
the domestic programs Of the
President have been defeated
because Of his determined
stand on the civil rights issue,
which alienated the Southern
wing Of his party.
There IS no question as to
Mr.. Trumans courage on diff
dcult issues. Many times he
has been unwise in some of his
strategy The South is with
him on foreign issues but not
on domestic. So one Of the rea-
sons for disunity is the Presi-
dent inclination to be cour-
ageous on the big issues and
also the little ones.

in 4 dilapidated condition and the
congregation cannot repair even
it's own Church building.
With this deteriorating house on
its hands, Pastor Oleson urged
Church Council meeting on Feb
ruary IS, 1851 that Mr.. Edward
Vickers Of the WIVI radio was
asked to be present at the Council
to make an application to lease a
part Of Pleasant Grove for his
broadcasting station.
Mr.. Vickers presented his plans
and offered his terms. He prom
ised to repair the building, install
modern toilet facilities and land
scape the grounds. It was decided
to enter into a lease Of fifteen
years, six months free Of rent,
two years at SIS, thereafter $85.
monthly, the lease to begin to Vi
as from the list Of March 1851.
Pastor Oleson commended the
Council; 50 did Rev. William G.
Arhaugh.
Mr.. Vickers did not enter into
this lease agreement, but later
established elsewhere.
One year later the Church
Council was approached with a
similar proposition from Mr.. ].
Rosenau. He said he would carry
the rental until such time as he
could occupy the place; he would
replace all cutters and spouting,
put new cover on the tank, build
a cistern, put in a modern kitchen
and bath, wire the entire house,
shore up the floors, fix the roof
and redecorate. He would bind
himself to keep the building in
good condition during the CONT
nuance 8 fthe lease. The rent
would BY SIS. per month. IN the
event of death Or default the pre-
misses would be surrendered with
all improvements to the Church.
The Church Council saw as
good an offer 81 even better than
that made BY Mr.. Vickers, and,
after the secretary, Mr.. Carl Coff,
as stated previously. had favor
ably the plan it was
unanimously considered an advan
tage to the Church.
The wardens, who are really
the trustees Of the property, con-
suited a lawyer for the pur-
pose Of drawing a lease reflecting
the decisions Of the parties and
the rights Of the Church. Included
among the signatories to the lease
were not only the trustees but
also t he other members Of the
Church Council who felt that
they had accomplished something
more to financially assist the
Church.

Citizen Responsibility Charter
Changes .D2 Procedures Make
Lively Community Council Hour

East Cleveland's Community
Council meeting of Thursday, April
18th was just that, council on
community issues. The session,
under President Wayne C. Blough,
slipped into high gear at the start
and kept steady pace as one
question after another was pre-
sented.
From Mrs. ]. Wade Price the
Council members learned of the
Voters Service set up by the
League of Women Voters in pre-
paration of the May 9th Primary
election. This Voters Service in
cludes folder wherein is printed
the answers of candidates to cer-
tain questions. From the replies
voters can better judge the candi-
dates. 1t includes sample ballots
and a form on which to list ones
choice of candidates. This form
may be taken into the voting booth
for ready reference, quite help
in face of the diversified ballot.
From Mrs. John Watson came
notice of last nights forum "The
Citizens View of '52" sponsored by
Life Magazine, the League of
Women Voters, N.B.C. and Halle
Bros. at Halles.
They heard Mrs. Frank Baldau
recommend to members that they
take back to their respective or
ganization a summary of Arthur
Townhill's report. The report set
forth the responsibility of each
citizen in protecting the future of
his own community.
They heard Richmond Rice, resi-
dent of East Cleveland City Com
mission answer questions as to
procedure in D-2 permit applica-
ton hearings. In this discussion it
seemed to be the opinion that long
err time should be given to notices
of such hearing. In the proposed
charter section 85B this time limit
is "at least three days"
Last but not least in the local
airings, the Council heard Director
of Law, A. E. Griffith sketch the
proposed amendments to the city
charter, written in 1918 and unre-
vised since that date. His presenta-
tion precipitated one of the liveliest
of discussions. Chief opposition GEN.
tered around the membership of
the proposed City Planning Com
mission. Under Section 85A this is
designated to consist of the City
Manager, the Directors of Law and
Health; and the Chiefs of Police
and Fire Departments. The City
Engineer would serve as secretary.
A number of speakers were of the
opinion that there should be in
cluded lay members, or provision
for a Citizens Planning Commits
sion. A lay member, it was felt,

Wanted To Rent
Has Unusual Appeal

Wanted to rent, three or four un-
furnished rooms.
Nothing unusual about such an
ad, you comment, dozens of folks
are looking for some place to live,
and about three or four rooms" +"
But in this instance there is some
thing different. It's the tenant, or
one of them.
The rooms are needed by a gra-
duate nurse and her adult son, who
because of an accident, must get
about in a walker. Despite this
handicap he is gainfully EN-
ployed in an industry, but, because
of it, it is more convenient to re-
side on a first floor. The two have
resided at their present address for
the past Is years, and now must
vacate.

apartment or rooms in a dwelling,
available now or within a few
weeks, will confer a favor by call

One comment pointed out that
while East Cleveland has been for
tunate in its official leadership,
there could come a time when this
favorable situation might not exist,
and then the Planning Commission
of City Officials only, might be
less effective. Lay membership, it
was felt, would strengthen and
safeguard the city's interests.
