THE PEPPER shortage got Ralph Armstrong, of
| the Indiana state defense council, in’ trouble ‘the
other ‘day. * His grocer didn't have any black pepper, but suggested. that he had some pepper seeds—little hard balls—which Ralph could grind and thus make his own pepper. He took them and went home. Placing them in a clean handkerchief, he placed it on a flat iron and hammered the seeds to powder. He emptied the powder in a jar, and then put the handkerchief in his’ pocket. Later he started for town. Shortly after getting on the bus at 52d and Central, he used the handkerchief on

is the re-education of the people of Germany and Austria. The Nazis did a thorough job. Teachers were .compelled, for instance, to study and write papers on books written by Dr. Alfred Rosenberg,
Hitler's top Nazi educator, who spent years in such cultural pastimes as sorting priceless paintings stolen from ravished nations, and mapping the vast educational program that shaped mad Germany's children.

CAREFUL CROSS-CHECKING leads me to the belief that if Hitler had been able to get his robomb project set up on the planned scale, England might destroyed beyond recognition. Senator a_ critic of our pre-war military preparedness, has pinpointed the big lesson of this war for the United States by introducing a bill In congress, ‘to ‘establish a research board for national security, to insure the continued preparedness of this nation along far-sighted technical lines by providing for the application of scientific research to national safety. . n

First inspection of this proposal might lead one to believe that all we had to do was re-
cruit our foremost scientists, form them into a committee, and rest content that if anything new in the way of war machinery is to be invented, they will see to it that we get it first. But the problem is greater and more complex than that. The recruiting of the country’s scientists is a wise step in that they are co-ordinated in the business of winning this war. But Senator Byrd's proposal is looking beyond this war, and specifically to, the next effort on the part, of humanity to destroy itself.
All-Out Total Warfare
When the last of this struggle subsides, it will be necessary for the best minds'in the country — the minds of our best statesmen, military leaders and executive scientists—to sit together for the purpose of formulating some sort of general, over-all research into the mechanical trends developed in this war, along with an estimate of the potential effect
My Day
HYDE PARK, Monday. —At the beginning of the war, we often heard air power enthusiasts say that now we would see it proved that only air power was needed in the future. For that reason, I think many people gave somewhat less thought to the foot soldier — the infantryman --who in the wars of the past always did .the hard fighting and had the least glamour attached to his particular achievements. Although air power is vital in the preparation of objectives, in J the . support and protection of " ships and land forces, and for re--connaissance, it has been proved again in this war that in the end the infantry has to do the final job. ‘The cavalry, in the past probably held the placé of glamour which the air force holds today, and the artillery, with its galloping horses, was always picturesque. But I imagine in the past, just as today, you heard grumbling from the infantry - that their job was the toughest and the dullest, and that they got very little recognition. Sc, on June 15, we are going to celebrate infantry day. in this country, and I hope we do it with grateful hearts,

Propaganda went beyond the schools, of course, in the Nazi era. Oscar Czeija, owner of Vienna Biasamberg, Austria's great radio station, was known as an anti=Nazi—at—the time of Hitler's anschluss and, of course, dived underground when the Nazis took over the nation. Czeija had made the sad mistake of telling Dr. Joseph Goebbels that he had no ability, when the latter asked for a publicity job in the early days. As a result, with Goebbels bossing Hitler's publicity, Czeija had to burrow pretty deep. He also fought Hitler's annexation of Austria.
Turncoats Aid Nazis
THE RADIO station was used for Hitler propaganda up to the fall of Vienna, in fact, Robert Best, well-known American turncoat newspaperman who went Nazi long ago, broadcast—so Viennese tell me— three days before the Russians entered the town.| He was more violently anti-American than the Nazis themselves, a man who seems to have wound up with no friends even among his Nazi colleagues. Another American who aided the Nazis, Constance Drexel, broadcast from Vienna and Belgrade. There has been no trace of either since the war ended. Now, because the Nazis blew up the master powerhouse and six reserve centers, the station has little power. The Russians have permitted Czeija to reopen and he is going five hours a day. Naturally, political news is censored but he has a free hand | in local news matters, Vienna, great metropolitan city of culture and music, sits stunned by the fact that it could not throw off’ its Nazi clothes at noon and welcome its allied enemies ‘to dinner, But among the ruins and hunger are a few who have tightened their belts, faced the facts and are at work, feebly but with hope. With them Austria as a free nation, must succeed or fail. And the desire of all to have that freedom—Austria is not revolutionary at all—causes them to turn toward. the Western allies, “because we are a Western people and ours is Western culture.” i Copyright, 1945, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc

of these trends toward shaping the war machinery] of the future. | There can be no Pollyanna sentimentality in such | a survey, and there is. little chance that there will| be, because such a conference needs to be dominated "by the Information to be obtained from combat-com=+ manders who have fought this war in the field. The world has had its first taste of what real all-out total warfare means in its most modern sense. And to] achieve the full purpose of providing America with | a comprehensive mechanical and engineering policy | for future warfare, it may even be necessary that we revise our existing national defense system.
Lesson and Warning
THE PIVOTAL POINT upon which such co-ordi-nation must. bé balanced, of course, is America’s foreign policy for the future. And, as far as I know, that hasn't been decided yet. Immediately our existing scientific council could be assigned many | pressing research problems: The first, as I see it, is research into the launching of winged missiles against enemy missiles or planes. As frequently hinted in these columns, someone is | going to invest a jet-propelled miniature aircraft, | equipped with radar or sound mechanism to guide| such a missile. In logical sequence, the next step would “be the perfection of the robomb equipped with target direction control. After this would be the specific project of investing the self-directing robomb, which would seek out its target. The opehing blast of the next war necessarily must be of the Pearl Harbor type, multiplied In dimensions 10,000 times. This is our lesson and our warning—hence Senator Byrd's wise proposal that we implement our desires for peace by providing the wherewithal to dis courage those who might desire war.

PAGE 9 Tomorrow's Jobs Research Is Key to Prosperity
By EDWARD A. EVANS
“WASHINGTON, June 5. — As what he calls “part of a large vote of confidence in Americas future,” President Charles E. Wile son of General Electric ane
nounced that his company will put $8,000,000 into a new research laboratory near Schenectady, N. Y. This big project, whicH will add 50 per cent to the company's research facilities, is indeed an expression of confidence. More than that, it can be one of the builders of America’s good future. For that future depends in large degree upon scientific research, genere ously-financed, adequately staffed and equipped, and constantly carried forward. ) :

Much that goes on in these laboratories is research in its “pure” scientific formi, under« taken and often continued for many years with the aim of learning’ secrets of chemistry or physics—secrets which, if learned, may or may not prove to have commercial value when “applied” research takes over and seeks to put the discoveries to practical use.
Research is a key to more good jobs at good wages, more neces sities and luxuries of higher qual~ ity at lower prices, and for more people a greater sustained prose perity than we have ever known, To .victorious peace, as to vice torious war, research is essential,
