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

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*.

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

served her time on the stage and

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.

Miss Parish applied pressure tb

As she rounded the sharp turn in

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”

Production Speed-Up Is
Fanner's Biggest Problem
Our present farm • surpluses will
be less of a worry in the coming
defense speed-up than will our
shortages, Ken Gapen Af the U.S.
department of agriculture reports.
Gapen pointed out that getting
increased farm production from
now on is not expected tp be as easy
as it was at the start of World
War H.
Production was at a low level et
tiie start of the last war and labor
was plentiful, end less^ fertilizer
warf used. Also there were fewer
tractors and other farm machinery.
Now, however, we are - at a high
