with the church the guiding light, in part be says: "There is a growing determination on the part of people toduy that the mistake* of Versailles must not be repeated, that out of the present anguish and bloodshed shall come a just uud durable peace. If this is to be accomplished we must rid ourselves of the idea that we as Americans can live in comfortable isolation, it is imperative that individuals and groups recognize the philosophy of isolationism and accept the responsibility and opportunity for spiritual and political leadership that will be required. We must cooperate with other nations in rebuilding the world on the baols of world brotherhood. "It a new order is to come, religion must become | rlmary in our lives rather than in the words of William Temple, an optional extra. After the first world war America drifted into an era of materialism. The American way of life might be characterized by the words: 'What shall we eat? What shall v.e drink? What shall we put on?’ W have forgotten the answer of J. .us. Seek ye Hist the Kingdom o’ G d. and all these other thing* shall be added unto you.' The new rrder will not descend from the .ki-s and build itself upon the ruins of the world created by this war. The Kingdom of God will ultimately be established in human ,o<iety when it has become regnant In human lives.” -0 The "Mike" Generals: Charh-. F. Kettering, vice-presi-dent of General Motors Corporation, lashes out against America's n»-ws commentators fur allegedly unjust criticism of our military authorities, declaring that they “really should be In command of th- armed forces,” in a signed article In the current issue of American Magazine. Alter pointing out that military strategy has compelled our genua Is and admirals to close down var plants, when the assembly lines have been "ticking like watches," for the purpose of Installing new machinery to make more modern and vital weapons, Kettering declares: "The commentators (who really, of course, rbould be in command of our armed forces) write wisely: The admirals and generals have their production schedules all mixed up. They have ordered so much of some weapons that they can't even ship them. They are closing valuable’ factories, wasting precious manpower. These moasback* are endangering our entire war effort.* > "The generals and admirals and war production heads can't say much about it.” Kettering continues, "because of military secrecy. And when the factories reopen. making more necessary weapons. you don't bear anything about that. The result leaves the ordinary citizen with a lot of honest doubt* and worries." Kettering contends that the comme&utsrs. In directing their "barrages of criticism” against the military authorities, have bad little understanding of the strategic demands of the war and of American industry's mastery of the “art of change.'’ This art, be says, might be called our secret weapon. Mr. Kettering, known as one of America's foremost research engineers. contend* that the Axis war lords made one fatal error in taking a pre-war Inventory of America's power, by falling to recognise that, because of our mastery of the An of Change. w e could outstrip them in war production. "The Germans and Japs know about our manpower; they knew about our tremendous powers of mass production." Kettering writes. "But they didn t think we could change our peaceful production fast enough to catch up. or keep up. with the war machines which tbvthemselves. bad been building and

improving for many years.” After every shift In strategy, after every major battle, and after every shift in climate and terrain. Kettering says tlutt changes In our war equipment and war plants have been necessary. “ Ail right.” he comments, "that suits us, It’s right down our alley." To explain the need for closiug t( tne plant* to Inetall new tools, be tells of the capture by the Russian* of 4.500 tank* early this year. “The tirsl effect of this unpredictable good fortune was a decline In the Russian demand for medium tanks," Kettering says. “Instead of tank*, the Russians wanted more locomotives and rolling slock, to reopen railroads In the devastated land* reccuqtiered from the German*. This meant that American railroad shops, which had been making other things, had to be converted back to the production of locomotives and railroad cars.” o • -• Q.

War Hero Bulkeley Is Off Combat Duty Illness May Force Shore Assignment Comcwhere in Australia, Nov. 5. —((’Pl—One of the first American heroes of this war may be forced off combat duty—at least for a while. Lieutenant Commander John D. Bulkeley. who distinguished himself in the Philippines, says ho probably will be out of the running for six months because of a liver Infection. In an interview with United Press correspondent William Wilson, the commander revealed that he would like to leave the torpedo boats which brought him fame and take an assignment on a larger warship. However, indication* are he will cago stock yards November 23 to December 2. He bus listed entries for nine purebred Chester Whitest which he will exhibit in the single barrow classes ot thbi event as well as for two carloads of the same breed that have been entered in the carlot swine contexts.

SYNOPSIS Hilda Glenn is relating the weird beginning of a reign of terror that put Havcnhurst-on-Sound in headlines. Hilda, author of a hit radio serial, "Love's Wages,” just returned to her old family summer home, Glennacres, at Havenhurst, is confronted with what she calls "the murder” of a red setter. Hilda and her neighbors-Pete Everard, a male menace and would-be playwright; his wife, Nancy; and the latter’s former flame, Jack Drummond, a prosecuting State’s Attor-ney-are dining in the Everard home when Commodore Henry Knowlton, elderly and pompous, calls. He says his wife, "Aunt Flo,” thought she "saw a ghost.” Hilda had known the cranky Commodore since childhood. Some blamed him for the accidental, death ot her parents about ten years before. He wax Pete’s uncle and guardian. He carried a heavy, gold knobbed walking etick which he brandished during a clash with Pete over mention of the drowning of his grandson, Henry Knowlton, 111, and his setter, "Red Rufus,” years ago. Hilda assured all that she had seen a dying red setter that day. Suddenly a voice from without declared: "You can’t lay a ghost with a blow of your cane, Henry.”... And the Commodore’s aged wife entered, seemingly in a daze. The Commodore staged an ugly scene when his wife urged that he produce Pete’s play, after Pete had a brief clash with Wing, the Everards* Japanese houvebov... The nest day, Mrs. Higgins. Hilda’s housekeeper, says that "this place is haunted” and that “Hank" Knowlton had killed himself. "He had such fun out of life-More than he could pay for.” Mrs. Higgins tells of working for the Knowltons and says Mrs. K. is “stark crazy,” and warns Hilda to be on her guard. P<m Drury, star of "Love’s Wages,” and Greg Mason, radio esecutive, arrive in the latter’e new sport model. Pete, Nancy, and their children, Dot and Dickey, join the others at Glennacres. Pam, Greg, Pete and Nancy motor about Havenhurst, looking for a bouse for Pam. Aunt Carrie is talking with Hilda who is much upset by Greg’s obvious interest in the “black velvet magic” that io Pam. CHAPTER NINE Aunt Carrie appraised me carefully and said about the last thing I was capable of enduring at the moment “You're niee too in your way, Hilda. Pleasant and sweet and wholesome.” “Wholcsomel” I snapped. “So’s spinach but it’s not venr stimulating. Pam's too alarmingly alluring to compete with. And she gets what she wants. She just told me so.” “The thing to do is not want what she does.” The wisdom of the ages spoke there. But I had always loved Greg. I couldn't sup on order. “I hr.te her!” 1 said. “It hurts to hate. I never hated anybody befoaa, . . . Pam and that smooth blackvelvet magic of hers'.” Aunt Carrie called me to order crisply. “If I were you, I wouldn’t forget that Miss Pam’s black-velvet voice is what keeps your show on the air—” Higgins arrived, unsummoned, with fresh coffee. "Didn’t you hear the car drive away ?” I asked brusquely. Higgins* rebuke was perfect. “One hears from the kitchen, Miss Glenn, but one doesn’t see. It might have been another car arriving. I inquired about his ankle then. “My ankle?” he asked blankly. "I thought you wrenched it." ”Oh yes, gave me quite a turn, as Mrs. Higgins would say.” He began clearing off the soiled dishes end then asked suddenly: “Miso Glenn, if I may inquire, who is the very beautiful young person who dropped in a while back? I almost thougkt I knew her.” Aunt Carrie laughed. “That’s Mns Pam Drury. I'm expecting Mr. Mason to bring her back here to supper. She’s the star of Miao Hilda's show. You’ve probably heard Miss Drury on the air, tima and

Nancy warn'L Her client had passed up all the Important properties over at Hammond's Harbor, which h now a much more popular beach than our little cove, and had chosen a house at the end of Cliffacnd Lane. It was a summer place called B«rcl> Cottage and was so small and unpretentious that nobody had rented It for several seasons. Obviously Nancy had hoped Pam would select a big estate en which the fee for a furnished rental would be much greater than the CUffsend Cottage would bring. “Don’t you want me te stftmff an offer on the Denton house at Hammond's Harbor?” Nancy argol. “They'd probably eons ffewn a Mb”
