Remains of Ancient Ocean Creatures Found in Alaska WASHINGTON. D. C.—The Brooks mountains of northern Alas ka remain probably the least ex plored region under tRe American flag. They are North America’s north ern rampart An exploration of parts of these mountains was carried out last sum mer. And in the rocks of the moun tains the explorers found forms of strange sea creatures living 300 mil lion years ago. Throughout the long, temperate, I quiet period of the planet’s history, known as the Mississippian, the rocks of these mountains were at the bottom of a shallow sea. Then the dominant or at least the most abundant — creatures were crinoi- dea, closely related to the sea lilies of th^ present time. This was the heyday of these curious animals who were, for the most part, attached by stems to the sea bottom’s ooze. A thick strata of the mountains are today made up of broken fragments or skeletons of the animals. The explorers found themselves In a region of unexcelled natural beauty. In the mountains are great glacial valleys, their floors covered with mosses and stunted willows. They may be carpeted with flowers during the brief summer when the temperatures range from 30 to 70 degrees fahrenheit. All around tower barren 5,000 foot mountains. Farther south they rise to 7,000 feet. The only human inhabitants are two small groups of inland Eskimo, the only remnants of these hunting |j people. Bear and caribou are plenti- fuL The Brooks range* extends west ward from the Bering sea into Can ada. It has many similarities, paleontologically, with the eastern slopes of the Rockies. It Is one of the earth’s great Mississippian areas. (P*^ ** by WRIGHT A . PATTERSON Historical Expediency F OR NEARLY 100 YEARS the established foreign policy of the United States as applied to the far east, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, was to recognize and support whatever was the established government of China, whether it was good or bad. We considered it the government of the Chinese people. That was true of the decidedly bad govern ment of the old dowager empress, and we assisted in her defense against the Boxer uprising, for which we did not ask and, in fact, refused to accept any compensa tion when offered. When Japan invaded Man churia, President Hoover urgent ly appealed to the League of Nations for protection against * the aggression. Because of the inability of the League to pro vide a force for such a purpose, that appeal was in vain. We loudly proclaimed the Atlantic Charter and at Casa Blanca assured China that under its provisions we would see that Manchuria was returned to her at the close of the war with Japan. Despite such promises, we passed over to Russia some Chinese ter ritory, including the ports and rail roads of Manchuria, without telling China we had violated our prom ises to her. We permitted the divi sion of Korea and withdrew our troops from South Korea before that small m^ion was in a posi tion to defend Itself from Commu nist aggression. When China, nnder the gov ernment of Chiang Kai Shek was fighting both the Japs and the Communists, President 'Roosevelt sent General Patrick J. Hurley to China to investi gate and report. Hurley claimed he found numerous advocates and friends of Communism among the personnel of the state department serving in China and sent two of them home, and issued reprimands to others. Then came General Marshall who proposed that Chiang ad mit to his government a num ber of the Communists as con stituting a majority |n his gov ernment. Chiang refused to con sider that proposal. Marshall was followed by Gen. Weide- meyer. President Truman ask ing that he investigate and re port. That report, whatever it may have been, is buried in the files af the state department, and the American people have not been permitted to know its content. China with a population of some 700,000,000 represents several times the population of Russia. In both man power and natural resources, she has a tremendous war potential. The efforts of the state department of die past have been to prevent that war potential from falling into the hands of what might prove an enemy of the United States. Either through errors in judgment, or by intent, it would seem the present state department has done much to accomplish what its predeces sors worked many years to pre vent' Congress has appropriated con siderable sums to assist the Chiang government. Through the activi ties of the state department, much of such appropriation failed to reach Chiang. In this country seme of those charged with favoring the Chi nese communists have been con victed by the courts and are now serving prison sentences. Under such conditions, it is small wonder that the American people have lost' what confidence they may have had in Secretary Acheson and the department he heads. Directly and indirectly his efforts have been in the direc tion of appeasing Moscow, without regard to the effect on this coun try. The action of President Tru man in defending South Korea from Communist aggression met with practically universal approval, but the actions of Secretary Ache- son, whether the result of bad judgment, or worse, have been a/ universally disapproved. In such differences as have arisen between Secretary Acheson and General MacArthur, the people have almost unanimously approved MacArthur. A change is in order, and now. We want a state depart ment that will represent the inter ests of America, rather than those of Moscow, whether they be errors of judgment, or worse. * At the Republican convention in Chjcago in 1944, Governor Warren was urged by some of his Califor nia friends to refuse second place on the ticket with Gov ernor Dewey, with the assurance that if he refused he would have top place in 1948. It did not work out that way, but possibly the date was merely deferred for four years to 1952. It looks that way now, un less General Eisenhower should de cide to tell the Republicans he will accept if the nomination it ten dered him next yea*. SONG OF SAFETY Camp Fire Girl Groups Conduct Programs on Traffic Education CROSSWORD PUHLE ADMONISHING AUTOISTS to f sing a song of safety while driving. Camp Fire Girls of the Central Valley Area Council in California launched a campaign in the com munities of Stockton, Lodi, San Andreas, West Point and Oakdale. . At meetings of women and men’s service clubs, PTA’s, church and other groups, the young members of the youth agency distributed cards for drivers to clip on windshield visors. The card pointed out the perils of speeding along the high ways and byways at 65, 75 and 85 miles per hour. Not content with this effort, Camp Fire members including. Blue Birds (7 to 10) Camp Fire Girls (10 to 15), and Horizon Club groups (15 to 18), saw iE<3CREEN£ftABI0 By INEZ GERHARD G LORIA SWANSON certainly never expected that her great est fame would come when she was a grandmother. Winner of the National Board of Review’s award as best actress of the year, for “Sunset Boulevard,’’ she has rock ed New York audiences back on their heels with her performance GLORIA SWANSON on the stage in “20th Century.” One critic wrote, “It long since ceased to be startling that Gloria Swanson was amazing. It's only startling that she can go on being more amazing.” Meanwhile she turns out a delightful radio pro gram five times a week, on Mu tual. And though her hair is touch ed with gray, she sometimes looks young enough to be her own daugh ter! Jose Ferrer, with his film, “Cy rano de Bergerac” showing in a neighboring theatre, appears op- - posite Gloria in the play, giving a magnificent performance. He also directed it, so well that he could have been content with it. As a highly eccentric producer of plays he wrings every ounce of humor out of his role; as a director he did the same for the other actors. Thelma Ritter gets Star billing in her eighth picture, heading the cast of “The Marriage BrokeF Story” (working title). She had served her time on the stage and in radio before tackling Hollywood; “Miracle on 34th Street” was her first picture, “A Letter to Three Wives” the one that made people sit up and take notice. “All About Eve” and “The Mating Season” are her latest St. Louis, Mo., Camp Fire members (above) receive a safety award for their safety campaign from traffic educa tion division of the city’s po lice department. * - that every member of their organ ization signed pledges promising to obey safety rules while walking, skating, and riding bicycles and scooters. The girls also enlisted the aid of their parents in the safety cam paign. Fathers sent letters to aQ drivers in the community asking them to please observe safe driving practices, especially while in the vicinity of schools and playgrounds. The importance for teen-agers to learn safe driving practices was so vital to a group of Beaumont, Texas, Camp Fire Girls that they held a panel discussion on “Should a Fourteen-Year-Old Have a Driv er’s License?” The discussion was held in school as part of their Eng lish class program. The girls, did a lot of preparatory research bef planning the discussion. They for information from other com mittees and explored the laws of different states with regard to li censing young drivers in their com munities. The conclusion reached was that a fourteen-year-old could be given a practice license for two years, should always have an adult In the car, and at the end of the probationary period could apply for a driver’s license. The initial panel discussion prov ed so successful that the Parent- Teacher Association requested a repeat performance* Later the pan el went on the air over local stations. • • • IN MANY COMMUNITIES across the country Camp Fire members held “Safety Safaris” as demon strations climaxing their safety drives. The girls enlisted the co operation of local police and high way departments and civic organ izations. Cars, bicycles, scooters, pedestrians and skaters all took part in the “safari.” Snappy placards streaming from vehicles pointed out the “rules of the road. 1 The police department in St.* Louis, Mb., recognized the good citizenship efforts of the local Camp Fire Girls safety drive by present ing the organization with an award. “Camp Fire for a happy life- safety for a long one” is one of the themes of Camp Fire Girls current activities, in which more than 360,000 girls from Maine to Califor nia are participating. Skits and radio programs carrying out the safety theme have been given by Camp Fire members in practically every state in the Union and have demonstrated that “everybody counts” in making the world a better and a safer place to live.

Her deep satisfaction was justifiable in view of the successful play she had pro duced and di rected that eve ning. Nothing Broadway would care to see, but a tuge triumph for the ama teurs of Deep Valley High School. Even Mr. Wilks, principal of Deep Valley High, who was never lavish in his praise had said, “Miss Parish, we are extremely proud to have you as a member of our fac ulty. I speak for the town as well as its school.” Now it was over, except for the party she was giving for the cast. Miss Parish applied pressure tb the accelerator. Being detained at the theatre had made her late. She knew the cast would already oe ar riving at her home. As she rounded the sharp turn in the road she heard 9 sudden noise followed by a loud hiss. The car pitched from sid- to side almost running off the road. Miss Parish fought desperately to - egain con trol. The automobile straightened itself out, * gradually losing mo mentum. She brought it to a stop. She emerged *tom the dis abled automobile. It was too dark to see anything. She opened th~ trank and Ut a match. “? 3 Jack! Now what am I going to do?” Miss Parish sat down on the run ning board. “I suppose I could walk back to town and get help ... or BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Trouble Teaches Lena Thai Otto's Friends Are Not Bums By BILLY ROSE A beery little letter showed up in the mail today from a man in Milwaukee, and if you’ll pull up a chair and help yourself to the pretzels I’ll be glad to let you take a look at it. . .. Dear Mr. Rose: There’s an old German couple in our neighborhood named Otto and Lena Brenner, and something happened to them not long ago which you might want to mention in your column. Otto has been a gateman at one of the local breweries for longer than most of us can remember, and ever since he got married in 1910 he’s been turning his pay check over to his wife who cashes it at the grocer's and gives him a couple of dol lars off the top for spending money. About 30 cents of this goes for smoking tobacco and the rest for beer at Stegmeyer’s Social Club, a sa loon where Otto drops in regularly Billy Rose for a little talk with the boys. Lena, of course, has never approved of the club, and has always said Otto’s friends were a bunch of bums. LAST MONTH Lena got word that her sister in Racine was sick and needed her, and so, not knowing when she’d be back, she gave Otto permission to cash his pay check himself, warning him, however, to stay away from Stegmeyer’s where the boozers could only lead him into evil ways. The following Friday night when Otto cashed his check he took the $37 in bills, rolled them into a wad, put a rubber band on it and shoved it into a pants pocket, along with an odd quarter left over from his previous week’s spending money. Then he went home, ate a little din ner and stretched out on the couch for a nap. For tb* best port of *n bom be turned end tossed, but jineU ly be gave up, Put on bis bat and beaded for Stegmeyer’s. A few doors from the bar, a panhandler gave him a bard-luck story, and it was so convincing that Otto • dug down and gave him, the quarter. Then be went into the beer parlor where, of costrse, be got bis usual warm reception and bad himself bis usual fine time. That is, until it was bis turn to buy a round when be reached for bis money it wasn’t there. “What’s the trouble?” said the bartender. “You look like you lost something.” “My pay,” said Otto. “Don’t worry,” said the bartend er. “Your credit’s good.” “It ain’t that,” said Otto. “This is' the first time my old lady has let me cash my, pay check and I’ll never hear the end of it if I don’t have the money when she gets back. I gave a panhandler a quarter be fore I came in and that’s when the bills must have fallen out of my pocket.” • • •. WELL, PRACTICALLY every body in Stegmeyer’s went out to look for Otto’s money, but there was no sign of it so ha finally want home, plenty worried about how Lena was going to take it An horn: later there was a knock on the gateman’s door and it was Little Stevie, the kid who works for Stegmeyer. “The panhandler came in right after you left and gave us this,” he said, handing Otto a roll of bills with a rubber band on it. “He says he picked it up right after you gave him the quarter, but his conscience started to bother him on account you was so good to him.” Otto counted the money—it was $37. When Lena got back from Racine, the old boy handed her the dough and that might have been that, ex cept the following night, while tidy ing up, she found a roll of bills wedged behind a cushion on the couch. "Look,” she said to Otto, "money! Thirty-seven'dollarsr "It must be my last week's Pay," said Otto. "You mean you got paid twice last week?" Otto knew he wasn’t worth a darn as a liar and so he told Lena every thing. “It means only one thing,” said his wife. “Them bums at Steg meyer’s saw you was in bad trouble and took up a collection.” A few minutes later, Lena went to the closet and got her coat ‘Put on your hat and let’s go,” she said. “Go where?” said Otto. “To Stegmeyer’s, of course. First I’m gonna apologize to those bums for saying they’re bums. After that the drinks are on me!” Sincerely, Louis Stegmeyer “I’m in Roberta. I want to you,” Wayne said. I could stop a passing car—if there was one.” She letained her posi tion on the running board. In the distance appeared a set of headlights. Miss Palish took a small handkerchief from her purse and waved it at the on-coming car. It slowed down somewhat, but then resumed its speed and disregarded the appeal for aid. S HE waited for what seemed like a long time before another au tomobile came into sight. As one loomed near she waved her hand kerchief hopeftilly. It came to a screeching halt alongside her own car. “What seems to- be the trouble. Miss?” “I had a blow-out and I don’t have a jack.” “Fear no more, my lady,” a man said, getting out of his car. “I’m certain there is at least one around somewhere.” “You’re a life saver.” 1 “Wait a minute,” the man said. “Pome over here near the head lights!” She hesitated. “But, why . . .” He took her arm, guiding b er to where he could see her face. "Roberta!” he cried out “It’s you!” “Yes, Wayne.” “You recognized my voice—and you tried to keep me from knowing who you were.—Why?” “I explained all of that to you in the note I left,” she said. “Note nothing. I’ve been looking for you for six months. I was ready to notify the police.” '“No, Wayne, I . . .” “I’m in love with you, Roberta. I want to marry you.” “I can’t” she answered. “Why can’t you?” “Because your success means too much to you . . . and to me.” “I can’t have success without you, Roberta.” “You can’t have it with me,” she retorted, tears forming in her eyes. “The play yon pro duced with me .in the lead ' flopped. It flopped Aeeause I wasn’t good enough for the part.” “It was a bad play Roberta.” “It was a good play,” she said defiantly. “Don’t you see, Wayne, you’d go on producing plays with me in the lead and everyone would flop because I’m just not good enough for Broadway.” “Is it somebody else?.” “No,” she answered. ”I’m the dramatic coach at Deep Valley High School. It doesn’t pay as much as Broadway . . . but at least I can handle the part.” “Roberta, come back—” “I belong here Wayne. Just as you belong on Broadway. We each have what we want, —or almost what we want Now help me change the tire; I’m giving a party for my cast tonight” Texas Steer Crowned D.S.
