PEACE ON EARTH
TO THE SKEPTIC the term peace

TO THE SKEPIIC the term peace on earth" has little
meaning. He points to conditions in many parts Of the world
in fefutaton to the dream Of peace. In Korea the shooting has
lust stopped, but no one knows when it will start up again
In Indo-China the French still have large forces which are
costing heavy losses in money and men Behind the iron cur
tain millions Of men and women are in slave labor camps
helping to build one Of the most deadly military establish
ments on earth. Nor is the free world clear Of il, for that por
ton, too, must remain strong as the only effective deterrent
70 aggression.
WHERE, THEREFORE IS there any meaning to such
j dream as peace on earth?1 The answer must be sought IN
the constant desire Of man to live at peace with himself and
his neighbors. While it is true that there has been killing on
a large scale, it is also true that the most serious efforts are
being made to find a way to settle differences and disputes
BY other than needless, useless, killing.
AND a HI time Of year the meaning Of peace comes
close and real to many, and the calm which settled over the
little town Of Bethlehem is sought by all. There is hope, and
there IS comfort that one day life will Be sacred enough sci
that nothing will possibly arisse to cause its destruction.
1T is NOT ENOUGH that the skeptic can point To-
what is amiss. What is more important is that the way to
peace is making itself felt, and men more and more are res
bonding to the constant urge to find a way to peace and good
will Day BY day signs are pointing the way. Twenty five ago
Eews wandered over the face Of the earth without a home
Today, they can turn to a spot and with ~justifiable pride call
il home. Men today have a forum before which they might
air their views, and have the world sit and listen. That in it
self IS enough encouragement to continue both the work and
the faith which ultimately leads to peace on earth as Al
reality
Very often t IS he5elov with The day has passed when you

Representative O'Hara, DEM
ocrat, of Illinois, is embarked on
a one-man fight to prevent su-
pervisors from keeping tab on
the time that Federal employees
spent in reStrooms each day.
The Illinois legislator indig-
nantly told the House yesterday
such a practice is now going on
IN the Chicago Post Office.
The practice threatens to
spread to the entire Federal
service unless it is checked
promptly. Mr.. O'Hara declared.
"Unless the practice is stopped
now. it will only be a matter of
time until the last .vestige of
human dignity has been taken
from every person working for
the Federal Government. with
the privileged exception of those
in the high-salary brackets" p"
the Chicagoan declared.
The situation arose when
some postal officials in Chicago
several months ago instigated a
recording" system of the rest
room visits of their employees.
Employees must notify their su-
pervisors when they enter and
leave the washroom, and these

Two Men Arrested
In Larceny Case Die

The deaths of two prisoners
arrested in the same petty lar
ceny case was termed an appar-
ent coincidence today pending
completion of autopsy tests by
Deputy Coroner Richard M.
Rosenberg.
Arrested on suspicion of steal
ing building equipment from a
lot at Fourteenth and M streets
Sc, the men were jailed at the
fifth precinct station.
Ray P. Baber, Al, of the 1900
block of East Capitol street, died
at 4:51 pm. last Sunday of a
heart attack in his Jail cell.
The other prisoner, Howard
Fortune, 80. of the same address,
died in Gallinger Hospital at
6:53 pm. Tuesday. DR.. Rosen-
berg ordered laboratory tests of
his internal organs to determine
cause of death. The report will
be available next week.
Police said Fortune suffered
some kind of attack before he
was taken to Municipal Court
Monday. Noting the mans con-
dition, Judge Milton S. Kron-
helm. jr.. recommended hospital
treatment.
Fortune was first admitted to
the jail infrmary. then moved
to Gallinger shortly before his
death. DR.. Rosenberg said he
saw no relation between the two
deaths. nor we're any marks of
violence noted on the bodies.

Nike, the Army set up shop to
train personnel in order to keep
pace with the rapid and compli-
Gated developments.
At Fort Bliss, Tex, the heart
of the Army's training program
in guided missiles, officers and
enlisted men have been trained
in the rudimentS of firing the
Nike.
Fort Bliss, near Ell Paso, has
been a booming installation
where highly trained enlisted
men give lectures to colonels and
generals and other GIs. Ad-
vanced training has been going
on at White Sands where nu-
merous tests have taken place in
recent months.
Replaces, Heavy Anti-Aircraft.
Now each of the anti-aircraft
battalions will have a small,
highly trained Nike cadre.
The Nike will replace the
long range, neaVy anC1-alrcra1t
batteries like the 90-millimeter
and 120-millimeter.
With batteries of Mixes sta
toned strategically. and with an
adequate radar warning net, the
United States could put up a
stout defense against a bombing
raid. Enough missiles conceiv-
ably could be hurled into the
air around industrial, atomic and
population centers to break up
mass bomber formations and
destroy many of them. If the
bombers came over singly, the
Nike could deal with them much
more effectively.
