“The Cat’ Returns

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March 18.—During the next six months Trinidad may become a proving ground for a point argued by criminologists and

penologists: : Is the cat o' nine tails a cruel, barbarous relic of the dark ages or has it a place in modern crime prevention? For Trinidad has brought back “the cat” to combat a crime wave blamed by some at least partially on “the Americans.” The sinsister lash, whose fame was spread across broad decks and broad backs in the days of wooden ships and iron men, may now be applied here as punishment in certain cases, chiefly involving rapes, cuttings or shootings, and violent robbery. At that, the more tender-hearted who had opposed revival of another of “the cat’s” lives here could take some comfort.. The whistling thongs will not be laid about so widely as they were under Trinidad’s old law. Before 1941, a man could be flogged for practicing witchcraft, or stealing an orange from a tree or a stalk from a sugar cane patch, or for just being an fncorrigible rogue in genersl

Say Flogging Needed ’

TRINIDAD became in the last days of 1941 one of the first British colonies to abolish flogging as a punishment. ? * But early this year law enforcement officers said they had been .a little hasty. They reported hooligan{sm had been steadily on the increase and they needed “the cat.” The legislative council passed. a new flogging act. :

Ar . grog WE TALKED at lot about airpower and what it would do in case of war, We talked against those who viewed airpower as a mere product of factories. We stubbornly insisted that materials could be taken from the ground, processed and fabricated in factories, with the finished fighting aircraft rolling out onto airdromes, : But there we stopped and begged for someone to tell us how a pilot could be “finished” in training and experience as fast as a plane could be built. We built the factories, provided the materials and rolled the airplanes ofit ‘onto airports, but—through lack of vision en the part of our political leadership— we failed until the last minute to start building the trained men to fly those ships. And the cost was prahipifively high. . Recently, the army announced that during th three years of the war it had lost 22,000 planes, involving the deaths of 26,000 pilots in non-combat

operations. There is no official word yet as to what the navy losses were in'non-combat areas,

Real Cost of Building

JUST THINK of it, 22,000 planes and 26,000 easualties in non-combat operations! This is the real cost of building American airpower, We can spare the materials, but we lost irreplaceable manpower. I shall never forget my impressions while touring the fighter schools. No matter what other aspects of the war momentarily may attract our attention,

The colonial move apparently did not meet the full approval of some members of the British parliament in London. Colonial officials, quizzed sharply by Labor members in the house of commons, said Trinidad had been asked to report at the end of six months on how “the cat” was working out.

Social Conditions Blamed

DURING the legislative debate in Trinidad, the Hon. Gerald Wright observed: “The reason for the crime wave we see here today is not only due to the Americans; it is largely due to the social conditions under which the vast majority of the people of this community live. . . .” The council member prefaced his remarks with the gloomy observation that “we know that the impact of the Americans was part of the price we paid for the 50 destroyers, and perhaps we do not yet know how heavy that price has been.” Mr. Wright referred to the deal made by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill in 1940, when the United States traded hard-pressed Britain 50 destroyers for 99-year leases on bases on British possessions+in the Caribbean and Atlantic. On Trinidad the U. S. has set up one of its biggest installations. Thousands of American soldiers and sailors were poured in here during the height of the war. They mixed with, and sometimes almost engulfed, the island residents, British Guiana, Jamaica, and other British colonies currently permit flogging as a punishment. It is also sanctioned in the United Kingdom, but officials said it has seldom been imposed there in

recent years.

we never can forget the indomitable will of the young American which transformed him {from a greenhorn groundling to a fighter, bomber/and dive-bomber airman in a matter of a few months. -

They Were All Kids

4S CREWS piled out of four-engined bombers one looked in vain for a seasoned face. They were all kids—strong healthy kids, As formations—tight wingtip formations of medium and dive bombers— peeled off, landed, and rolled into the line—there were more kids. The same with the fighters. All bright, laughing kids—all bearing the mark of decision, They all seemed to know they were engaged in a fierce race with time and that every move made behind the fighting air fronts meant life or death when they got.there. They had to make up for what had not been anticipated or planned in time. Among the mechanics the same spirit was just as clearly visible. We all have heard or read opinions as to what won the war in the air for America. Sure, it was our mass production.. Certainly, it was the technical | know-how of our people—our factories, our mines, | our mills and our precision trained workmen, _..But when all is said and done and the chips are all in, we'll find it was really the indomitable American kid who learned how to handle the winged machinery that was handed to him. It was these gallant kids who closed the gap between too little and too late, No one knows how they got away with it, but they did—despite the feafully high “price in men and machines.

SECOND SECTION

By RICHARD LEWIS SOMEWHAT removed

from the mundane influences and musty aroma of city hall are the offices of the city dream commission.

There official dreams are dreamed. Not little dreams, but 25-million-dollar dreams. They range

from fixing the streets to building

a city-county office skyscraper on the site where the courthouse now totters. Officially they are known as In-

dianapolis’ post-war plans. Postwar II, that is.

The same plans were made after They gather in the city hall basement ’ ¥ tJ -

POST-WAR II dreams are bigger They may

They are the result of Mayor Tyndall's post-war planning committee and were unveiled by George A. Kuhn, chairman, at a dinner given by Meier Block, Oct. 20, 1944. # td » SINCE THEN, three steps have been taken:

ONE—A city redevelopment commission has been created.

TWO--Mayor Tyndall has created a fund at city hall for the reelection of Republicans to carry out the plans.

'THREE—A dream office has been set up. To date, physical assets include some maps, blueprints, a typewriter, a telephone, a secretary and M. G. “Ole” Johnson, former city engineer. Otto Jensen, operating executive of the redevelopment commission, shares the dream offices. » » » LAST WEEK, Mr. Johnson expanded the assets with the purchase of two lead pencils at an expenditure of 15 cents. He is expected to acquire an eraser soon, on the supposition that even dream commissions make miistakes. The commission occupied the northeast corner of city hall's top floor until recently. Something happened. . Maybe there were too many distractions. Maybe thie political miasma drifting up through the city hall rotunda from offices down below tainted the nonpartisan purity of the project.

into action. To make the dreams come true, he 1s collecting campaign funds from the rank and file at city hall, who presumably are all advocates of post-war planning, too.

duction. There are strong indications that the MAP representative in Washington, whom “Hektor” repeatedly cites as his source of information on aircraft production in the United States, is the representative of the ministry of aircraft production in the British purchasing commission. Somewhere in his office there must have been a leak of first-rate importance. » = = REPORT 682 W., filed on Jan. 31 by agent “26,” quotes the Estonian minister in London as authority for the statement that ‘British morale is deteriorating continually as a result of the protracted war.” On Feb. 14, the same agent, relaying information received from the Shark, quotes the Chinese air attache in Washington as authority for a report that “the Americans are planning to transfer the 20th B. C. from India to the Philippines. The photostats also strongly implicate the Swedish general staff, from which a great deal of important information on allied military matters seems to have leaked out. » » » IN February, 1945, the allied high command was making its final preparations for the decisive push through Holland and northern Germany. Berlin naturally was anxious to find out who was going to lead this drive. The answer is given. in a code message from Stockholm that states: “According to documents of Mebruary, 1945, at the genera] staff of the host country, the composition of the 1st Canadian army is as follows: Commander-in-chief, Lt. Gen, Crerar; Cgpadian army command, Lt. Gen, Simmonds; 1st Polish army-command, Gen. Kopansky; 2d Canadian ID (infantry division), Maj. Gen, Volkés; 3d Capadian ID, Maj. Gen, Keller.” Another report, again citing as source “the host country's General Staff,” reveals the composition of the U, 8. First Army Command as follows: Gerow (Chief of the Army Command), Collins, Heubner, Barton, Priekatt, Lauer, Watson, Leonhard, Robertson, Malbley, Lynan, Parker, Allen, and Oliver,

command. So was Leonard, whom the Nazis identified as “Leonhard.” Gerow was in the Fifth Army; Barton in the Fourth Infantry, Third Army; Priekatt in the 75th Infantry, Ninth Army; Watson in the 29th Infantry, Ninth Army. Oliver was with the Fifth Armored Division, Second British Army. Lynan was in the Pacific. The War Department has no record of a General Malbley, the closest being a General Maloney with ¢he 15th Army.) A third report, still on the same authority, gives the names of all the commanders of the Third Army and a fourth report, based on the same source, lists those of the Seventh Army, ” » » HERR X, incidentally, tried a few tricks of his own to find out who in the Swedish general staff is responsible for those leaks, but without luck. This precious source of information was carefully protected by the Nazi agents, Besides the leak at the Swedish general staff, the Nazi spies in Stockholm counted heavily on in-

formation received from London. There was, of course, no regular traffic between the two countries during’ the war, but there was the “illegal” shipping maintained by the Norwegian resistance movement and the “courier traffic” between Stockholm and Britain, In both cases, the Nazis were supposed to know nothing, but actually they made extensive use of these “illegal” means of communications for their own purposes. This was done by occasionally slipping in a Nazi spy—usually a Quisling—among the heroic, Norwegian patriots who continuously braved the hazards of the sea and German bullets to keep the communications open between the Norse underground and their government in Britain,

~ ” ” THE NAZIS also had a reliable informant at the Bromma airport outside Stockholm. identified as a man named Schaefer, the representative of the German commercial airline, Lufthansa. Schaefer ~daily reported the arrivals and departures, as well as the characteristics, of each plane “secretly” traveling to or from Britain. The “Radio Bureau” transmitted a complete report of this traffic to Berlin each month. Schaefer missed only one plane during the period. The Germans .not only knew

By NEA Service > STOCKHOLM, March 18.—Where do spies get their information? It is amply evident from the mass of documentary evidence photographed by Herr X°with his microcamera at Karlavaegen 59 that there were leaks all along the line in allied government agencies, foreign diplomatic representations and firms concerned with war pro-

everything about this “secret courier traffic’ between Sweden and England, but they used it in the same manner as the “underground shipping” between Norway and Britain. Their own couriers rode many of the planes. » » . HERE IS another example of the uncanny accuracy of the information available to the Nazi spies: In February, “Pandur” reported to Berlin that the representative of Swedish air lines in the German capital, Helge Klintborn, had been instructed by his company to remain on the spot even in the event of a Soviet occupation of Berlin. As it was, Klintborn stayed in Berlin throughout the long and bloody siege—npyractically all other Swedes had been evacuated—and eventually returned to his homeland via Moscow. Did the British secret service know about these goings-on? It | probably did, yet it permitted the traffic to continue apparently in order better to control German espionage in Britain. Field Marshal Montgomery sized up the situation when he charged that Sweden was the “clearing country” for allied military secrets.

THE DOCTOR SAYS: Objects In Eye Can Be Dangerous.

Infection Must Be Avoided

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D. CLEANLINESS is of first importance in removing foreign bodies from the eye, as serious infections may follow trivial injuries.’ The most common eye injury is a foreign body lodged in the cornea. Dust, cinders, and small particles may lodge on the surface of the eyeball and cause irritation and an excessive’ flow of tears. As movements of the eyes and lids are the commonest causes of injury by foreign bodies, the lids should be tightly ¢losed+ and the eyes held as still as possible, for this results in an accumulation of tears which may flush out the foreign body when the eyes are opened.

A small foreign body can be removed with a perfectly clean handkerchief or with a wisp of cotton. If these methods fail, the safest thing to do is-to flush the eye with saturated boric. acid solution or to put in some olive oil, castor oil, or mineral oil. The eye should be covered with a pad or a bandage firmly applied to keep it from moving, and a physician consulted.
