BELFAST, Northem Ireland, Aug. 4.—Before I start in on the army camps, let me give you some idea of what Belfast is like. There are no army feats here, but the soldiers come here on leave. Nearly every American soldier in Northern Ireland has been in Belfast at some time or other. This is a city of half a ‘million. There has always been a rivalry between Belfast and Dublin as to which is the bigger. Belfast is a busy industrial place, surrounded by hills, By driving three or four miles out you can look right down on the city. There is still lots of traffic in the streets. They have awkwardlooking double-decker trolleys : here that stack up in long lines of congested traffic just as the trolleys do in Washington. These trolleys are so tall and topheavy that if you sit in the extreme front or back on the top deck you swing up and down as if you were on a teeter-totter. You almost get seasick. Belfast looks like a city at war. ‘Barrage balloons fly overhead. British and American army cars form a sizable portion of the traffic. Uniforms are everywhere. The newspapers are thin—four pages. store win: dows are either beaverboarded up, with a tiny show window in the center, or criss-crossed with tape in fancy designs. The clothing on display has signs telling how many coupons are necessary to buy it.

Yes—It Was Blitzed, Too

4° A FEW AUTOS have those fantastic gas bags on the ‘roof to supply. fuel. Brick shelters line the . streets, and more are still going up. . Downtown there are huge concrete water tanks for fire-fighting in some future blitz. The tanks are shoulder high and

sometimes as big as: a quarter, of a block square. {They have signs around saying, “Static Water.”

were hastily oe to provide extra firefighting facilities. Belfast had its blitzing a year ago Easter, It was really surprised. And what a pasting this place had! Right downtown entire blocks are so completely blank they are used now as parking lots or for water tanks or are just standing vacant. The cleanup job has been so perfect—shattered walls pulled down, holes patched up, rubble carried away—that I really believe the average American soldier seeing his first bomb damage doesn’t get the full significance of it.

, SOME OF THE BOYS got into an argument in Dick's barber shop (200 block, N. Delaware) the other day over whether sound carries better in wet or dry weather. Harry Wheeler of the Spann Co. asked us to settle it. Not knowing the answers, we phoned Weatherman J, H. Armington. We figured he ought to know, if anyone does. He hedged a bit, opined sound c st on a cloudy day, may be because the sound waves are reflected from the low level clouds. “But why not call a physics teacher?” Okay, so we phoned Butler, asked for the physics department. Nobody there, so they gave us Dr. Ray Friesner in the botany department. He, too, took the rainy day side of the argument, only he attributed it to the humidity, “ordinarily higher on a cloudy day.” Next, we phoned Dr. Seth Elliott, of the Butler physics department, at his home. “The density of moist air, contrary to general opinion,” he said, “is a bit less than‘'dry air, which means sound travels faster 1n damp air. And in damp air there aren't so many air currents to mess up the sound. Let's see, the velocity of sound is equal to the sqbare rogt of the elasticity divided by the density.” = You take it from there, Mr. Wheeler.

Our milkman (Roberts) says his company is putting rubber shoes on its horses’ front feet only, and before long they may have to use iron shoes all the way ‘round. . . . An anonymous reader called the city desk late yesterday to bawl us out about that navy picture of Seaman George Schricker (son of the governor) scrubbing the deck at the Great Lakes naval training station.

‘Washington

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4—A fellow newspaper correspondent, back in anxious Washington after six months, hopefully reports something in the civilian war agencies that he had not observed on previous visits. Around some of the offices where he has called, he notices now a. touch of humility. Eight months of war have “brought us up with some hard bumps. Enough has gone wrong to pry open the mind of any know-it-all around Washington. Building of production facilities has passed expectations only to be set back ‘by shortages in materials. Washington officials responsible ‘for planning materials far ahead are sobered by difficul- ‘ ties now appearing. Ships are the rine a arteries of this war and allied forces are suffering for lack of them, Yet the Higgins shipbuilding contract had to be canceled and the yards left unfinished because not enough steel could. be found. Steel production has fssion as this is bound to be humiliating. Through these and numerous other equally painful + experiences we are finding out how much we didn't know. about. planning for war, and the touch of humility which the visiting newspaper correspondent ‘discovers may be the beginning of wisdom. There's no epidemic yet, but this might be a good time for one.

Only Military Answers

IN FACT, humility will go very well everywhere pehind the lines right now. Our future is in the hands of fighting men. To a large degree it is in the

On the Fishing Front SB SOME OF THE TOWN’S fishermen are pretty much put out because the park department has fenced them out of their favorite fishing spot—the

west bank of the White river where Lake Sullivan mpties into it. It’s justéa “spite fence,” they claim, and a “waste of defense materials.” Not so, replies Parks Boss Charley Sallee. The fence just: keeps some of the more thoughtless fishermen from..damaging the heavy iron gates regulating the flow from the lake, The gates have been damaged several times in the past, he says. And besides, retorts Charley, the fence doesn’t keep them from wading in the river or fishing from a boat. None of the river is fenced. Personally, we aren't taking sides. Fishing is too strenuous for us.

WICK SUITER, the well-known buyer out at the stockyards, stayed up a little too latg the night of the Highland golf tourney last week. As a result, he fell asleep at his office the next day with his head

hands of the Russian soldiers fighting beyond the Don. What lies ahead for us depends much on how hard and how well those humble Russian soldiers fight this week and this month. They must fight with what they already have in their hands. Nothing that we.can say, little that we can do, will have any effect on that decisive campaign. It is raging toward its climax in a kind of desperate isolation. And the second front? What point is there in civilians trying to give advice? Roosevelt and Churchill want a second front as soon as it can be opened. Only they and-the military know the facts sufficiently to make an intelligent decision.

What the Realities Are

THE CIVILIAN HAS to become a kind of sheep in periods such as this. He is in the hands of the military forces. His future depends on their success. What they need, the civilian must supply. When the patient is wheeled into the operating room, the surgeons take over and the relatives can contribute most by keeping out of the way and doing as they are told. It is simply the rule that obtains in any crisis. Action men must have the right of way. With the war going as it is, the public is anxious, tense; inclined to bicker, to be over-severe in criticism, and to judge without knowing the facts. Neither civilian officials nor the military ca; their best work in such an atmosphere, and the ple cannot either. We have had no such crisis as this in our time, when the whole shape of our future is being decided. These weeks and months will pronounce sentence, either upon us or upon our enemies—a sentence that .will be inflicted or more than‘one generation to come. Realization of that has sobered many a man in Washington as it should all of us.

VOTING LIGHT IN PRIMARIES

Kansas, Missouri, Virginia And West Virginia Cast Ballots.

By UNITED PRESS Kansas, Missouri, Virginia and

West Virginia nominated candi-

dates for congressional, senatorial ‘and state offices in primary elec-

i tions today which are expected to

record the lightest balloting in years.

In Kansas, Senator Arthur Cap-|

per, Ti, veteran of congress, was up for renomination on the Republican ticket and expected little opposition. His collegue, Senator Clyde M. Reed, junior senator from Kansas, injected the only surprise in the primary election by running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Reed was given third place in pre-voting selections, with Andrew Schoeppel, Ness City, a slight favorite.

Light Vote in Missouri

Four Democrats competed for the Democratic senatorial nomination. Former Senator George McGill, Wichita, led in forecasts of the voting trends. His opponents included the former party chairman, W. G. Glugs-

oy Carpenter, Marion, former congressman, and Laren A. Moore of Mont Ida. Kansas also selects candidates for seven congressional posts and state and county offices. Missouri, expecting the lightest vote in two decades, nominates candidates for congressional, state and local offices. Three of Missouri's 10 Democratic congressmen had no primary opposition and only Rep. Walter C. Ploeser, from the 12th district, pre-war isolationist, was opposed among the three Republican incumbents.

Virginia Also Ballots

In Kansas City’s fifth precinct, the old T. J. Pendergast-Joseph Shannon machine was under test. Mr. Shannon did not seek Democratic renomination for his congressional post and Roger C. Slaughter, organization candidate, Russell F. Griener, reform ° candidate, and Michael D. Knomos, an attorney, battled for the nomination. Virginia, Democrats will nominate congressional and state candidates with the effort of labor leaders to defeat Rep. Howard W. Smith, in the 8th district, the only primary of national interest. Mr. Smith’s labor record in congress has been the target of bitter criticism by organized labor ieaders. He is opposed by E. C. Davison, sec-retary-treasurer of the International Machinists Union (A. F, of L.) and a former mayor of Alexandria, Va. West Virginia faced a dull election with interest centered in the contest between Governor M. M. Neely and former Governor H. G. Krump for the Democratic senatorial nomination.

rs re BASE IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Aug. 4.— The flying fortresses swept over the dry brown hills, turned square upon the field and came straight in with only three propellers turning. The first than out was Charlie Belknap, a brown-haired man of 23 who was the port gunner. Charlie, who comes from Walden, near Newburgh, N. Y., had a flashlight in his hand and it looked as though somebody had been trying to put it through a meat grinder. It was chewed, smashed and bitten. “I am going to keep this the rest of my life,” he said. The fortress had been leading a group attacking an enemy convoy southbound over Huon gulf when it was set upon by somewhere from nine to 13 zeros. At least nine attacked in one formation. “I never like keeping things in my back pocket but this time it saved my life.” There was another bullet burn across -his trouser leg.
