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.

Why the Surprise Over
Horse Meat Sales?
In Newark, N. 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.

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.

STALIN TELLS ALL
Another war? How silly!
Such gossip I would kill;
I merely use Gromyko
To demonstrate good will.
Another conflagration?
Who spreads such rumors sharp?
My Molotov is in there
To demonstrate a harp.
Ill will hatched up in Moscow
Against the sister powers?
Absurd! We’re concentrating
On playing “Hearts and Flowers.”
PLANE’S WORLD RECORD-BREAKING ROUTE . . . 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.

HARRIMAN IN NEW CABINET
POST . . . H. Averell Harriman,
shown as he arrived at New York
by air, to take over the post of
secretary of commerce. Harri
man was former ambassador to
Great Britain and Russia.
npHE Big Nine, the South, the
-*• Southwest and the Far West are
not the only sections that have re
turned to prewar speed and power
in football.
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

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.

It may be caused by disorder of Idd-
