DARK DAYS OF DUNKERQUE The present crisis in Great Britain is Mikehed to the dark days after Dunkerque, ty Dr. Cyril Garbett, Archbishop of York, whe says that only the collaboration of the people will prevent ‘starvation, mass _un- employment and ruin.’ as Dr. Garbett is described as the second Atbest diguitary in the Church of England ond it & unusual for sich high ecclesiasti- ee? officials to comment on political. affairs, Nevertheless, his utterance is not strictly political but rather concerns itself with the advieability of acquainting the people with the serious crisis which now faces their country. av < MUST HAVE OFF-SHORE BASES Without any intention of opening the fomtreversy over the B-86, General J. Lewten Collins, Army Chief of Staff, says that the Joint Chiefs of Staff are in accord on the need for bases off the mainland for lan@e-seale bombing, operations and recog- nine the necessity. for providing fighter protection for the big bombers. . ‘The General emphasized the impossi- bility of relying “solely on: mid-air refuel- ing” in large-scale opedations for the B- 88. He emphasized that no one service ean possibly wage inter-continental war ened weged the necessity for teamwork by the Army, Navy and Air Force, lt in. a funny thing but people who > ewe work to do will very often stop to play. oe PONE EEN an effort to get to the bottom of the armed forces atid inter-service controversy. Top level Army, Air Force and Navy officers were called td the witness stand. The Navy did not agree with the views of the other, services.

Operations, was removed: from his post with “brutal directness.” The obvious conclusion was that he had been removed: because of his testimony, although this was denied. It appeared to be the price he was forced to pay for telling the truth’as he saw it at the demand of Congress. His removal under such circumstances established a prece- | dent of censorship that is a repudiation of | fundamental right of the people in this country—the right to examine and criti- cize the policies and activities of their pub- } lie servants and government, without fear |,with the United Press and was a of reprisals. Politics color almost everything that one reads these days. It won’t be long be- ‘fore the nation will be in the midst of an- other congressional campaign. NEAR MIRACBE AND MEDAL * Late in October, veterans of the Eighty-Second Airborne Division. were tak- ing part in a parachute drop before high officials.of the Army gathered at Elgin Air Force base, in Florida, for the purpose of witnessing. the operation. ‘ For some reason the chute of: one of ‘the soldiers failed to open, He fell along- side a buddy, who reached out and grab- bed the suspension line of his disabled chute: Together the two men managed to land safely. For his quick thinking. and heroi¢ ac- tion, Sergeant Marvin Q: Smith, of Hunts- ville, Alabama, has been awarded the Sol- dier’s Medal for Heroism. His buddy, Charles A, Dye, was adequately rewarded when his life was saved. " Not many people jump from an air- plane to. discover that the: parachute they relied upon for safety fails to function. Of those to whom this happens, scarcely one remains alive. To be snatched from death in midair‘may not exactly. qualify as a miracle, but it is a lucky incident for the falling man. Most of us can always find an excel- lent reason for dging what we want to. do when we want to-do it. ACHESON URGES CHANGE POLICY Urging the United States to change its | thirty-year-old trade policy in order to hallow other nations to pay for what they |} buy in this country instead of having the American. taxpayer foot the bill in. the form of loans and gifts, Secretary of State Dean Acheson says that the United States must become “veally import-minded.” The Secretary: found nothing: “fiavor- able” in a trade balance under which we sold $13,000,000,000 worth. of goods to the rest of the world last year’ and bought | only $7,000,000,000 in return. The $6,000,- 000,000, gap not only creates serious. prob- lems for other nations, in their effort to secure dollar credits, but. it represents a gift of the material resources of the United States. The word “gift” may not be strictly accurate. It applies in the fullest sense, however, to much of the assistance that we are now giving temporarily to. West- ern Europe. In, respect to. the balance the buyers promise to pay but, in view of to exhibit-} their ability to pay whatthey owe us} > "“Seifietiam until they see a chance for fifty } now, there is not much to be gained by vee EE Pent. running up the total of their indebtedness. e | ers.

A palefack, Vernon Lamme, is their instruct- Or. ANNOUNCES on Rydra-Matic Drive Fiorida’s Seminoles came origi+ nally from the great Creek nation, of Alabama and Georgia. In early colonial days, when Engligh Georgia frequently fought Span- ish. Florida, the Creeks became divided. Some wanted to join the English against the Spanish, while others declared the Span- iards were their allies. Those Creeks who favored the Spanish broke away and came. to Florida. The name “Seminole” means, in the Creek tongue, “the break- aways” or “runaways.’ Creek Indians made handsome pottery ware. But the Seminoles found no clay in South Florida Suitable for firing. They used sea shells and gourds for uten- sils, Pottery making became a lost art to them, Lamme decided that the Indians could attain an additional source of income if they ‘returned to. pottery making. With Mrs. Lam- me, he first interested Josie Jump- er, a Seminole living on the near- by Dania reservation, who be« came his principal assistant. Men and women, young and old, took up the art. They are taught to. mold, fire and glaze, but designing is left up to the Indians’ natural talent. Clay is shipped in. Now the Indian handiwork is being sold to tourists, and some is being sent to northern markets. $25 PRICE REBUCTIAN @EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY Now—America’s Number One drive can he hought at Sse new lower prices.
