Miss Beard. Shame on you, Al Overheard conversations often are good- for a laugh. For instance, Frederick B..Troeger, 5517 N. Delaware, was aboard a Central bus the other day and overheard two women discussing the troubles of an aunt of one. It seems the aunt's son was sowing a few wild oats. Mr. Troeger visualized the aunt as a woman probably about 40 and the son maybe 20. What was his surprise then when the one woman asked how old the son was He was 77, and the aunt —his mother—was 93. Apparently, age has nothing to do with wild oats, . . . Jim Dilley, general manager of the McCullough Printing Co., realized a lifetime ambition the other day by acquiring a set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. One of the first things he did was to turn to the “I's” and see what it said about Indianapolis. He found an excellent description of the city. In the Brittanica, the names of the contributing editors are carried at the front of each volume, and only the initials of the authors are carried above the stories. The initials on the Indianapolis story were “R. W. 8.” Curious, Jim turned to the front of the book to see whose initials they were. To his surprise, he found the author was none other than Roy W. Steele, advertising manager for Jim's own firm, the McCullough Printing Co. It was written while Roy was working for the C. of C.

Organized Murder

BAD GASTEIN, Bavaria (Delayed). —Out of the ashes of war and fratricide Yugoslavia strives to rise anew. Nobody knows, in this nation of Serbs ahd Croats and Slovenes, just what he wants for his na-

tion. But all dream of some sort of freedom such as obtains in America. Meanwhile, Marshal Tito, who liberated the country from its Nazi oppressors, now concentrates on ridding it of that terror-arm of a " Nazi puppet—the dread Ustachi of Dr. Ante Pavelic. Organized by the erstwhile premier as his secret police, this “junior” gestapo, in four years of terrorism, murdered 500,000 of Yugoslavia’s 7,000,000 people, a number equivalent toets wartime casualties. They were mostly Serbs. 1 have heard wild tales of terrorism throughout Hitlerized Europe. But the crimes laid to the Ustachi surpass most.

Slaughtered at Mass

ACCORDING TO my informants, “it is conservative to say that 350,000 Serbs and 150,000 Moslems were killed, most of them between April and September

of 1941.” There are the stories of 8000 Serbs who were thrown over a ¢liff at Leica, in Gospie . , . of one Midx Luburiec, who invited 800 of them to mass and slaughtered them in their pews , . . of 5000 Serbs who were killed one day at Foca (Foicha) by Croats

Aviati THE BOMBERS we know today are crew-operated. The bombers of the next war won't be, and they won't Jook anything like the bombers of today. If there is a world war III, it will be started by gobombs, of all sizes and dimensions, carrying far greater explosive loads than the biggest present-day bomber. Such robombs will be possessed of sufficient range for waging truly intercontinental warfare. And a continental combat front is the pattern of the next war. This prediction of things to come is, by no means, daydreaming. The realistic strategists of the world already see this picture and are working out "its details. Give the world five years breathing space before the next war and the robombs of any one continent will be bombing the cities of any hostile continent. The days of man personally fighting above the horizon are numbered, because airpower already has demonstrated its capacity to send its machinery to war and keep its manpower at home.

Wood Saws Wood HARRY E.

and repeats the process. Before someone sends for the booby wagon, I'd better explain. It just happens that the storm 10 days ago snapped -a couple of large limbs on Mr. Wood's cherry trees. Instead of sawing them off, the practical Mr. Wood left them dangling until the cherries ripened. Then he sawed off small branches from the broken limbs and picked the cherries in comfort.

Originated in Italy

THE USTACHI had its origin in Italy, where Mussolini nursed 1000 disgruntled Croats led by Pavelic. When Hitler entered Yugoslavia in 1941, II Duce rushed in his Croats as the nucleus of a new government. These men had been anti-King Alexander (slain in 1934) but under Fascist guidance began striv-

of Greek Catholics. Part of the Yugoslav army refused to join Hitler and, under Gen. Draja Mihailovich, formed a guerrilla force. With Nazi backing, Pavelic then created his secret police—the Ustachi. Uniformed bands of Ustachi raided systematically bent upon extirpation, chiefly of Serb families. Thousands, many of them of the intelligentsia, fled to join Mihailovich’s army. But in that army many liberals began to demand freedom from the corruption and evils of the old monarchy as well as from fascism. And among those liberals was Josip Broz (Tito), a man who had schooled himself in Moscow and fought long for social reform in Yugoslavia. Under Tito’s leadership the Yugoslavs now hope to establish a new order of freedom, despite old tribal factions and jealousies, and religious differences that remain among the 3,500,000 Croat Roman Catholics, 2,000,000 Serb Greek Catholics and 1,000,000 Moslems.

OBVIOUSLY, the answer to such an attack is not | in launching a superior number of our offensive! Frankensteins against the enemy continent, because the Frankensteins will pass each other and the war will become a matter of mutual death and demolition. The only off-setting and nullifying defensive weapon strategists can visualize now is the target-seeking aerial torpedo, jet-propelled, and loaded with an explosive to be detonated by collision with the target robomb. No matter what we call this defensive weapon against robomb attack, it will have to be a gadget which will. automatically seek out and destroy other robombs, As this pattern of the next war develops, you can see military airports (as we know them today) fading.

If these procedures fail, the federal board may decide that a fact finding commission should be appointed by it or by the President. During these proceedings, the right to strike is suspended temporarily. The right of the individual to quit his work and to leave his place of employment 1s fully protected. Only in those few and vital cases where the public will be handicapped seriously by failure of the parties to reach an agreement is the right to strike restricted. There, provision is made for the temporary arbitration of the controversy by the fact finding commission, usually to cover a period " of one year, but in no event more than two years.

HYDE PARK, Wednesday —Now that I am home manently, one of the first things I wanted to do as to see again the state training school for boys t Warwick, N.

if you had a family of between four and five hundred, and could buy wholesale, you would find that you could not do very well at 40 cents per day per head. Sometimes I wish that the housewives of the state had a representative serving on budget committees which decide on what is to be spent in state institutions. I was firmly told by Dr. Williams that this allowance was in line with the allowances of other state institutions. Yet any mother of boys knows that they need more food than the average grown person. : I was therefore not surprised to find, when I had a chance to talk to the boys, that they responded more quickly when I asked them what they liked to eat. They have meat on Sundays and fish on Fridays. Eggs or cheese or beans are ‘the-rule on the other days, I gather, with chopped meat occasionally thrown in. Even on Christmas last year they did not have ice cream, and most of us who have youngsters around a great deal know what a favorite dessert this is. You can do a lot with children through food, but it must be rather hard to do it on 40 cents per head. The staff gets an allowance of 80 cents, but some of this money is spent for service. ” Those of you who have not been interested in for boys and girls in' your sta
