THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. 4A Washington, D. C. JAPANESE BLOW-UP? Don’t be surprised if there is a blow-up brewing in Japan not un like that which nearly bumped off Mr. Hitler recently. This columnist oas reason to believe that things are teething inside Japan right now and that the die is cast against the Fascist military clique at the top. It was groups of young Fascist officers who shot Tokyo’s leading tnoderates back in the days when It was not yet definitely decided that Japan should conquer Asia Now the moderates are able to say “I told you so,” and are beginning to get the upper hand. The Emperor probably will not be a victim of the revolutionary tur moil, for two reasons: (1) He is a moderate himself, never did go as far as the cut-throat young Fascists, was kept more or less a palace prisoner by them; (2) he is better guarded than any other man in the world. High walls, moats, trained, trusted bodyguards surround him. Not even his personal tailor is per mitted to touch him. Unrest inside Japan has not had time to be communicated to Jap troops at the front, nor is it likely to affect outside war areas much. The Jap soldier away from home can be counted on to fight to the very end, be cause he cannot come home un less he is victorious. The code of Bushido does not permit it. The big thing to watch, when and if things inside Japan reach the boiling point, is the Jap fleet. Its officers will be faced with the alternative, under the code, of ail committing suicide or sailing into the enemy, no mat ter what the odds against them, and fighting it out. • • • HOOVER’S CHILDREN Bachelor J. Edgar Hoover, who has jailed more desperate criminals than any man in history, has a se cret weakness which not many people know about. He likes chil dren. On many an afternoon you will find a group of boys going through FBI headquarters, getting points on crime detection. If he is not too busy, Hoover himself will take time to say hello. Hoover has spent much time studying children, feels that a healthy younger generation is the best insurance against crime, once even wrote a magazine article, “If I Had a Son." Here is some of the advice he gave: “If I had a son. I’d probably be frightened. I’ve never feared criminals, but if I were a husband and father I might be afraid. So much would depend on me. “If I had a son, I’d do one thing. I’d tell him the truth. I’d never let him catch me in a lie. And in return I’d insist that he tell the truth. . . . When children go astray it isn’t the fault of the children but of their parents. ... A spoiled boy grows into a spoUed man. ... I’d try to be a pal to my boy. ... I’d encour age him to join fhe Boy Scouts and boys’ clubs, but before he joined I’d make it a point of getting acquainted with the leafier of the troop. ... I’d have my son go to church. What’s more, I’d go with him. . . . But above everything else, I’d try to understand my son. For if I didn’t I’d be a failure as a dad.” • * • STALIN-CHURCHILL CORDIALITY Those who have watched the dip lomatic wheels go round from the close-up inside, report that Stalin and Churchill are now getting along famously. This is important because it was not the case at Teheran, where Roosevelt and Stalin did the getting along and Churchill didn’t. That was when the present Second Front in France was the topic of consider able argument and when Churchill, bidding farewell to Stalin, said: “Well, goodbye, Marshal. I’ll see you in Berlin.” “Yes,” replied Stalin; “I in a tank and you in a Pullman car.” Churchill’s friends point out that at Teheran he was in the early stages of a very severe illness and definitely not himself. Since then, Churchill seems to have got over any complexes re garding Stalin, and Stalin takes a like position toward Churchill. There has been complete teamwork I between the two for some time. Both British and American diplo mats also pay tribute to the co operation of the Russians in recent months on most subjects, even including Poland. The general view in diplomatic circles is that Stalin has been reasonable regarding Po land, • • • MERRY-GO-ROUND C.

Red Cross Men Cooperate Hay Fever Sneeze When Avranches in Normandy fell to fast-moving American forces, this Nazi Red Cross post in a cafe was taken over by American Red Cross workers, who permitted some of the German medical corpsmen to remain and cooperate with the Americans in taking care of the many injured German soldiers who were left behind when the Nazi retreated.
