When an alarm is sounded, certain members re- spond, either going by truck to the other quick transportation available. Other members hurry to the Fire Department headquarters in the City Hall, ready to respond if a second alarm is sounded. Business men and others drop whatever they are doing and respond. Day or night, the volunteers are ready. Several of the volunteers reside in the Fire Hall Headquartres. They are instantly in their turnout pole and on the trucks. Other volunteers, in their homes, to the alarm, either hurry to the scene or to the Fire Hall for emergency.

Although the Navy was sharply eriticized for revealing its proposed strength down to the last plane and ship, Secretary of Defense Forrestal’s office has been pres- suring the Air Force also to pub- lish its secret strength. This was bluntly suggested to the Air Force by Forrestal's budget chief, W. J. McNeil—who happens to be a Re- serve Admiral. The Air Force turned him down, however, on the grounds of danger to national se- curity. CONGRESS GETS DIPLO- MATIC PREVIEW Secretary of State Acheson is tak- ing no chances with Corgress.

Acheson also pleaded with Van- denberg to support the Adminis- tration’s bill to appropriate sixteen million dollars to relieve the plight of 750,000 Arab refugees from the Palestine fighting. Acheson said the Avabs, crowded into {filthy camps, are dying at the rate of 50 a day. It is absolutely necessary, he said, for the United States to do what it can to help because the American reputation in the Arab world is at stake. Vandenberg replied that he would be glad to throw his weight be- hind the bill. Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary Rusk had gone up to Capitol Hill to talk secretly with Congressman Sol Bloom, Democratic chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, about the same thing. The State Department has been especially worried about Bloom’s reaction to the bill to aid the Arabs, because he had indicated in a speech he might oppose the idea. However, Rusk found Bloom quite reasonable on all points, and now feels he will vote for the bill. FRENCH GRATITUDE During wars, allied nations pull together, work toget} fight gether—of necessity. They cannot afford to do otherwi After wars, people sometimes drift apart. After wars, it is easy to bicker over the spoils of war, over the terms of peace. That the French people want to work at peace just as hard as they worked at war is attested by the 49 boxcars of the Gratitude Train now fanning out to all parts of the US.A. The sentiment behind that train is expressed more elo- quently than anything that can be written in this column by a letter of a wounded French veteran, who says: “At the hour when the G tude Train is leaving Parls States, I feel the need to tell .you what the French people want to express to your great country by this sym- kolic train. “To yoy Americans who have dene so much, given to much to the children, the aged, and all the pecple of France, it is the affec- tionate thanks, the sincere grati- tude of my country. This train, made up of cars that your G. L’s know well, is a true token of our affection, of our friendship to all of your 49 states. Each one of these cars from France will tell those of you who know us, that we do not forget. And to those who have never come to our land, may it bring a message from the people of France to all the people | of the US.A. “In the dawn of 1949, I see ml this gesture of friendship more | to- for hearteningly demonstra alism within parties and stri B 2 | * Now John L.

The U.S.A. and France give to humanity and the world a magnificent example that could come only from within them. “The idea of this Friendship Train in return for the many, many trains sent us by the USA., is due to the French war veterans, the wounded, those who fought { pointed American Ambassador and suffered and those who suf- fer still.

Sainty was again on the bridge of the Princess Mary, after being detached from the Alaska run for several months. In that the popular skipper had the interesting experience of bringing the newly constructed Princess Norah from Glasgow, Scotland, to Vic- oria. The trip was made in 34 days, most of the crossing against a ead sea, which, according to Captain Sainty, “did not affect the speed of the new liner in the least. She passed everything on the water from Glasgow to St. Vincent, Dutch West Indies.” The Norah was built in the yards of the Fairfield Engineering and I Construction Company at Glasgow and has a speed of just over 16 iknots. i —_— i A Wrangell court as several of the H Among passengers arriving on the Princes: Ve it B Mary Sacé the Rev. and Wrangell main string were ineligi {Mrs. O.
