We're On the Road' In Nations Affairs, Says Sen. Bartlett

WASHINGTON, lR - Alaska is meeting the challenge of state hood enthusiastically, Senator Bob Bartlett said last night on the eve of the 18th states official en- try into the union.
 Were on the road" he said. ''Now we feel we're full partners, although we've always felt we were part of the U. s."
 Asked in a radio interview if Alaskans are interested in na- tional and international matters as well as state problems, Bart lett said people of his state are well-read and well-grounded in non-state matters.
 With Russia just a short 50 miles across the Boring Strait from us, we are especilly inter ested in deense," he said.
 Bartlett was asked about home steaders and their mineral rights.
 Homestead laws were made when the West was being settled. There have been many changes and we need new ones to take care of the changes" Bartlett said.
 Asked if he would run for re- election in the Alaska primary in August, 1860, Bartlett said he has every intention of continuing as Senator from Alaska.
 One immediate effect of state hood will be an increase in road mileage in Alaska, Bartlett said.
 ''In the past we got along with just pittance for roads but now we will receive some 36 million dollars in construction funds from the government" Bartlett added that currently Alaska has about 4,OOO miles of roads of all kinds.
 The state, he said, is keenly interested in economic association with Japan. He mentioned a 55 million dollar pulp mill built by American and Japanese capital and said investigations are under way in oil and other fields.

Fort McHenry

Continued from Page One) only places where the flag is authorized to fly at night. Dawn is the official earliest time else where.
 The staff on which the 49-star flag will wave at Fort McHenry is the handiwork of George J. Pultz, a steeplejack and pole maker from Marlboro, N Y.
 "I'm one of the last of the craftsmen in America" says the 43-year-old Pultz.
 He made the staff from four Douglas fir logs. He joined them with glue, then hewed them round with a razor sharp ax and adz.
 Finally, he honed the wood smooth with a drawing knife.
 Pultz was paid 5000 for the work by the New York Community Trust.
 Historians of the service re- gently finished 20 months of re- search at Fort McHenry. Among the things they discovered was the exact location of the staff holding the flag in 1914.
 A second flag-raising ceremony will be held at the fort Saturday morning. A Boy Scout troop will raise two flags.
 They will be flown to Alaska by Charles F. Willis IT,, president of Alaska Airlines. Willis will pre- sent the flags to the Southeastern and Western Councils of the Boy Scouts in Alaska.

THE GREAT DECISION. BY
Michael Amrine. &c. P.
Putnam's Sons; $3.50
AS long as there are people
on this planet, there will
continue to be argument
over the decision to drop the
atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
Was it the most despicable
act of immortality and bes-
TALLY in the already sordid
history Of mankind? Or was
1t really an act of mercy. in
that it ended a war that
would have slain a million
more victims If it had gone
on?
Mr.. Amrine's detailed and
sensitive study of the events
leading up to that fateful
August 8, 1945, doesn't settle
the argument. But it pro-
vides all the facts on which
q reasoned opinion can be
based. The attitudes and
recommendations of the top
men concerned, from the
President and the cabinet to
the scientists who fashioned
this most terrible instrument
Of destruction, are set forth
in their own words.

Behind the Decision
To Drop the Bomb

THE Great Decision" has
been published before. but
not in the perspective of a
single aweSome story. Even
today there are few Ameri-
cans who know that the bomb
that wiped out Nagasaki on
August 9 was the last one
available at the time. And few
know that the Nagasaki
bomb. following so closely
after Hiroshima, was dropped
because the military wheels
had been set in motion and
no one tried to stop them.
This book is not an argu-
ment for a point-of-view. It
does not directly plead a
cause. 1t attacks no one or
anything. But in its straight
forward presentation it is not
dispassionate, nor is there
reason to think that such
would be possible in treating
so immense a subject.
On the concluding page the
author observes, "Since Hiro-
shima we may still use the
phrase so long as men make
history but by that we no
longer mean forever" If
there are still those who fail
to realize this fact, Mr.. Am
rine's story may help them
before it is too late.

In Spirited Defense
Of Madame Du Berry
BY MARY McGRORY
star star Writer

When the Due de Richie
lieu asked his King what his
majesty saw in Du Barry,
Louis XIV replied. simply
this: She makes me forget
that / will soon be co." An
other contemporary wrote Of
the Favorite: "She was kind
and always generous, gentle
in company and an excellent
friend who was both chari-
table and obliging." Her
present biographer, Stanley
LOOMS in DU BARRY. takes
her UP tenderly. Whatever
her faults, he feels she de-
served to be loved.
1t cannot have been enter
tanning to live as an ordinary
citizen in the time Of Louis
XIV. There were no demo-
cratic institutions to safe
guard the rights Of common
individuals, nor was there
any League Of Women Vot-
ers or ADA to call officials
to account. But it is an era
that is uncommonly enter
tanning TO read about, and
Mr.. LOOMS, warming to his
task, has written in a witty
and worldly way about the
gigantic pettiness and mon
strous trivia which made or
broke alliances and plunged
whole continents into war.
Louis XIV was a weak, in
telligent, dovout man who
until the time Of DuBarry,
had been prosecuted by a
series Of strong-minded mis-
dresses. Madame de Pompa-
dour, who fancied herself as
a statesman, brought on the
Seven Years War. The Ouch
esS Of Chateauroux, the last
of three sisters to be mis-
tresSes to the King, was an
intriguing hellcat who fright
ened Louis half to death.
With the coming Of the
baSeborn milliner's appren-
tice to Versailles. a new policy
of clemency and amiability
was instituted. DuBarry

Warsaw Underworld
In the Light Of Today
THE MAN WITH THE

THE MAN WITH THE
WHITE EYES. by Leopold
Tyrmand. translated from the
Polish by David Welsh
Knopf; $4.95) is a novel
about the underworld in
contemporary Warsaw.
When Leopold Tyrmand, a
Polish journalist and novelist,
published this novel in Po-
land in 1856. it was sold at
first In the black market, al
though it abstains from poll
tics. Marxist critics were
lukewarm, but the book soon
sold 100000 copies.
1T is a story about hoodlums
who deal in everything from
black market sales to con-
hdence games and robbery
with assault. They become
SO brazen that the whole city
Is aroused, but the police do
not seem able to stop this
crime wave. An eerie cir
cumstance is that when hood
lums beat up citizens. on
buses and in streets, when
ever they feel the urge, often
a small, strange man, whose
staring eyes show only white,
darts from nowhere. He fol-
lows the hoodlums as they
run and later two or three are
usually found beaten into un-
consciousness. Is the man
with white eyes a vigilante, a
self-appointed agent of So
ciety's vengeance? Or is he
merely a rival gangster? No
one can trap him or find out
more about him.

This Book

A PRIMER FOR PROFIT IN

THE STOCK MARKET.
BY Harry Kahn, jr. (Dou-
hleday; $3.50
Any spare cash lying
around? Here's a book that
tells you what to do with it.
Money can be made in the
stock market, says Mr.. Kahn,
by anyone willing to learn
how to invest correctly. 1t is
not necessary, he says, to be-
come a full-time market stu
dent or to take dangerous
risks.
Mr.. Kahn, a Washington
broker, resident partner in
Bache g. Co.'S Washington
Office, writes for the layman
to whom the mysteries Of
Wall Street are deep and
devious. He has not tried a
get rich quick approach;
on the contrary he warns the
imprudent and the easily
tempted. The slow, patient,
careful approach to investing
rather than the bunch, the
tip. or the speculation is his
theme. And the mechanics
of the market, the termi-
nology and the jargon. the
role of the broker are all set
forth with clarity and SIM
plicity.
For anyone with dollars to
invest, for those seeking to
hedge against imitation, or
even for those whose modest
savings could be made to
yield a better rate of return,
this is an interesting and
valuable book. F. T.
