THE NEWBERRY RUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. EAR EASTERN REPORT— Here’s what members of the house military affairs committee reported to General Eisenhower, following their return from an inspection of our military bases in the Far East. 1. Morale of our Far East oc cupational troops is being en dangered by the army’s delay in sending wives and families to officers and enlisted men. 2. The army is doing little to set np facilities for the proper housing of army wives and chil dren who want to join the troops. On Okinawa, for in stance, surplus army stoves and plumbing supplies—badly need ed in quonset huts where army families will be housed—have been sold to the Chinese. 3. Another demoralizing fac tor is the shortage of cigarettes, fresh fruit and vegetables. Eisenhower promised to look into these facts immediately. Congressmen reported that an es timated 350 Jap soldiers are still at large on the island of Okinawa, living a Robinson Crusoe existence in the hilis. American authorities are not seriously troubled. ... A lone Jap fugitive was picked up a couple of months ago on Saipan, aft er having been at large for oyer a year. When asked where he had been getting water on the very dry portion of the island to which he had been confined, the Nip replied that he had gone at night to a large house in an isolated sector, drinking from the tap and filling his canteen. The home was that of the American commander. The returned congressmen are worried that lower ranking commissioned officers are “tak ing the Japs to their hearts.’’ Congressmen fear that many occupation officers have forgot ten that the J.'.ps were our ene mies only a year ago. Japs, the congressmen say, have not forgotten their dead, but some of our men have forgotten the Americans who died battling these same Japs. One of MacArthur’s difficulties is the great shortage of Jap-American interpreters. Result: In Japanese towns without any interpreter re ports on conditions, written by Jap authorities, are sent to U. S. head quarters as official reports. Plans to recruit 50,000 Filipinos for our army have fallen through because of lack of money. The pres ent goal is 35,000, with the training now under way. Worst areas in the Pacific for troop morale are Korea and the Aleutians. Korea is the center of political intrigue and, because it is at the end of the supply lines, the food served our troops is hardly bet ter than field rations. In the bare, treeless Aleutians, the big wish of U. S. troops is for a 12-month rota tion system. They now are sent on a two-year hitch with scant chance to get back to the comparative gay ety of Alaska. » » * STALIN’S WAR OF NERVES Most interesting fact about Sta lin’s recent widely broadcast and widely-hailed-as-conciliatory state ments to a London newsman is the date. The date was September 24. For on exactly the same day Sta lin was telling the world that there was no danger of another war, he was sending a note to Turkey which sang another tune. The note to Turkey was not made public until four days later. Thus Stalin publicly put fears to rest, while simultaneously warning Tur key that she must yield to Russia on the Dardanelles and that she must permit Russian troops on Turkish soil. If not, the implied threat was war. Thus, despite Stalin’s attempt to woo the world, his aims re main exactly the same. Fur thermore, they remain exactly the same as those of the czars before him. Finally, they re main today, with his allies, ex actly the same as with his old sparring partner, Hitler. For, in 1940, when Russia and Germany were under a non-aggres sion pact, the same Molotov now dickering in Paris went to Berlin to dicker with Ribbentrop for terms under which Russia would come into the war against England. The terms Molotov wanted were the Dar danelles, Iran, Iraq, the Balkans and the mouth of the Red sea. Hit ler wouldn’t give these terms, and Russia finally was forced into the war on the side of the Allies, not against them. Now that the war is over, Stalin and Molotov are right back where they were in 1940—trying to get the Dardanelles and other long-rangf Russian objectives. * * * CAPITAL CHAFF Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson picked an ideal time for his vacation, the moment of the Wallace-Byrnes feud.

J., butchers insist that the sales of horse meat are up 50 to 75 per cent, and that, as a mat ter of fact, customers like it. “There is nothing bad about horse meat,” says one butcher. “It is just a question of mind over matter.” Boston, too, is eating horse meat. No horse is really safe in the pres ent crisis. 0 Elmer Twitchell declared todaj that horsemeat .s not to be be littled. “I have had beefsteaks late ly that I am quite snre were in the racing entries once,” he said. • “The reason people go for sow meat and not for horse meat is one of sentiment and custom. If we gave names like Blue Larkspur, Old Rosebud, Eternal and Bimelech to cows, folks would feel differently toward beef,” continued Elmer. • "Why do people shudder at the mention of a tenderloin of horse and thrill to it from cattle? Be cause no general was ever photo graphed coming home from the wars on the back of a cow! Because Black Beauty wasn’t a bovine! Be cause the poets, authors and movie writers get romantic over horses, but never over heifers.” • “The whole history of meat as a food might have been different if Washington had ever ridden a cow or if Ben-Hur had driven a team of longhorns.” , • “Suppose the ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ had been an epic of the cow country instead of cavalry mounts? What if Napoleon’s cow had been stuffed and put in a mu seum instead of his horse?” 0 “Have you eaten many horses?” we asked. “I’m afraid so,” he replied. “In fact, I haven’t had a steak in months that didn’t strike me as once having had a saddle on it. Only last night the waiter pointed to a club steak on the menu, and when I asked if it was good he started to HANDICAP IT!” • • • BACK HOME STUFF Well, ye ed has realized a life long yen, one dating from boyhood: to get inside the Nathaniel Kendall mansion on the heights beyond Fair Haven. . . . Nate Kendall was one of the richest men in the com munity, a brewery and traction mogul, and looked the part, huge, commanding and autocratic. . . . His castle, a massive place of red granite, stood on a high hill from what tnen was a view of 40 miles down Long Island sound. . . . As a kid we used to gaze in awe as the Kendalls drove out of the broad driveway behind a span of horses. . . . But nobody, not even playfully brash kids, crashed the Kendall grounds. . . . They seemed part of a baronial fortress. • Last week you could have knocked us over with a zither when we saw a huge electric sign “The Castle” over the mansion. . . . The “Kendall Place” is now a restau rant, and a pretty unusual one. . . . We made for it at top speed and at last motored up the curved drive way, ordered “Boy, put this car up!” roamed the broad verandas and had a fine dinner where our earliest idea of a millionaire once slept.

The broken line on the above map shows the route followed by the navy’s “Trnculent Turtle,” a Lockheed P2V Neptune, on its world record non-stop flight of 11,236 miles from Perth, Australia, to Columbus, Ohio. The plane took 55 hours and 17 minutes for the trip, landing at the Ohio airport in excellent condition. It carried a crew of four and a nine-month-old kangaroo. The solid line, above, indicates part of the proposed route, from which the plane veered at Midway island. HORSES ARE HER PLAYMATES ... Most four-year-olds are content to “play house” with their dolls and toys, but not Shirley Adams. She is happiest when she can drive the horses about the farm of Andy Walker, Nottingn Hill, Australia, where she is staying. Here Shirley drives two draft horses so that they can be hitched tv the plow for the day’s work. A real farmer’s daughter, the tiny tot loves horses and is not in the least frigntened by them. HESS AND GOERING HEAR THEIR FATE . . . Hermann Goering, left, as he heard sentence of death by hanging, and Rudolph Hess, who received life sentence at the recently completed Nuernberg war crime trials. Twelve Nazi war leaders were sentenced to be hanged, three were acquitted and seven received jail sentences, ranging as in case of Hess to life imprisonment. All defendants who were sentenced to hanging immediately filed notice of appeal. Those sentenced to hang were Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Field Marshal Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Julius Streicher, Fritz Sauckel, Col. Gen. Alfred Jodi and Arthur Seyss-Inquart. ■»&;........ - .« GREEK LAURELS FOR SWIFT SWEDES . . . Mme.

In this connection, we’d like to call your attention to the Ivy league, too often under rated by football camp followers around the map. In the last few years strength in the Ivy circuit has belonged large ly to Army and Navy, who may be considered part of this roundup, since there is no such of ficial organization. To this pair in 1946 you can add Pennsylvania, Yale, Columbia, Cor nell and a greatly improved Har vard squad. Outside of this circuit, Holy Cross is the East’s best bowl prospect. Excluding Army and Navy, Penn sylvania has a Red and Blue squad this fall that should be an even match for any team in the country, not barring the prides of the Big Nine or the pick of the South. Mon ger has a terrific line, averaging around 212 pounds, loaded with ex perience. The Penn coach also has at least 8 or 10 high-class backs who can match any set in football today. They have speed, weight, running and passing strength far beyond the average. Pennsylvania will be something for any team to fhanhandle this fall, and that includes Army. Best Yale Squad But the Red and Blue doesn’t stand alone. Howie Odell has the best-looking squad Yale has known in years. The combination of Eli and Levi can be sensational, Levi being Levi Jackson, the dark ante lope who gives promise of a big year. In 220-pound Barzilauskas, Yale has one of the best linemen that ever wore the Blue, looking back to such stars as Pudge Heffelfinger, Eddie Glass, Gordon Brown and a long parado of others from forgot ten years. But Jackson and Barzilauskas are not the only two Yale stars. The alert Odell has one of the biggest and most capable lines that Yale has known in years, plus a well- rounded backfield that might easily give Eli her best team since Bill Mallory’s outfit back in 1923. Yale also would be a match for the prides of the South and the pick of the West. v You can add Lou Little and the Columbia Lion to this group. Lit tle’s Lions won eight out of nine games last fall, losing only to Penn sylvania. This season Columbia has an even better team with Kasprzak added to Rossides and Kusserow in the backfield, a speed back, a power back and one of the best passers that ever chucked a pigskin. So far as the college game goes. Coach Little doesn’t bar either Luckman or Governali in this Kasprzak com parison. “One more tackle,” Lou tells you, “and we might worry somebody.” Lou and his Lions worry everybody, even if they drop a game or two. Cornell Has Power Ed McKeever’s Cornell squad is no “shove around” for anybody. The Big Red from Ithaca and Cayuga’s Waters has a star tackle in Wydo and a star back in Martin. Colum bia just missed getting Wydo, who fills half a line. McKeever, like Lit tle, is another coach who can lose three games and still look good. I Which reminds me of an inter- : view I once had with Bob Zuppke ; at Illinois. “How do things look?” ] I asked. “I can lose every game and still | look good,” Zup answered. Dick Harlow’s Harvard team is the dark horse. Give Harlow any sort of material and he can jolt your teeth out. He has a star full back in Moravic, a star tackle and a much improved squad. Syracuse can be another dark horse under Clarence Munn. So far as the East is concerned, we string with Army. As Rip Mill er of Navy told me at West Point, “As long as you have Blanchard and Davis, you have a real foot ball team.” I’d like to add Tucker at quarter to this pair. There is a pretty fair chance that he is the best all-around quarterback in college football. Tom Hamilton’s Navy team took the leading losses in material. Navy material may be doubtful, but Hamilton, plus Rip Miller, are not. • • * Amazing Greenberg When the , season started, all American league batting talk was banked around Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Dick Wakefield. No one gave Long Hank Green berg a half tumble. He had been away too long. He was too old. His legs were no good. Neither was his arm. But in the power rush down the stretch Williams, DiMaggio and Wakefield couldn’t even follow Hank’s dust.
