Trinidad Base
casual observer, the U.'S. navy’s big wartime base here shows no signs of becoming a “ghost base.” Commanding officers voice the opinion that it will be one of the main rendezvous points for cruising navy task forces during peacetime shakedown cruises. “We have one of the finest Tleet anchorages in the navy here,” commented Commodore C. C. Baughman, present commandant of this, one of the biggest of the leased bases the United States acquired from Britain in the famous destroyers-for-bases trade in 1940. True, the base today is a long way from ‘what it was during the war. Then, Trinidad was one of the biggest convoy crossroads in the world. The navy base here had men, planes and guns Mterally covering it. A steady stream of vehicles crawled along the network of roads linking the hangars, machine shops, warehouses and piers in the 12-square-mile reservation. Machines and tires and feet stirred up a constant haze of red dust. Hillsides were still raw and bare where contractors and navy crews had sliced them away to throw up buildings and push through roads in record time.
Skeleton Crew on Duty
WHEN THE war ended, the naval operating base and naval air station here folded as suddenly as a machine-gunned accordion. Apparently, there was a mad rush to ship out men and virtually’ all material that wasn't nailed down. One of Commodore Baughman's current problems is that some of the stuff that was shipped out then might. profitably be used. here now. ,
A skeleton crew is keeping the Base ‘running on ‘“maintenance” status now.

Science
PERHAPS THE time has come to reconsider Prof.
Harlow Shapley’s suggestion of a plutonic laboratory.” Sometime before world war II, the famous Harvard astronomer proposed the sinking of a deep shaft into the earth to constitute a laboratory for the study of the earth’s interior. It was interesting that this idea should have come from the scientist who was most responsible for pushing out the limits of the universe. Thanks to his pioneer researches we know that the universe is at least 10,000 times as large as it was Wioughs to be 40 years ago. Dr. Shapley first established the true scale of distances to the Magellanic Clouds, those clouds of stars on the edge of our Milky Way. Then he turned his attention to the distribution of the spiral nebulae in distant space. These distances turned out to be so great that Dr. Shapley suggested the adoption of a new astronomical yardstick which would be equal to 10,000,000 lightyears. The light-year, the traditional astronomical yardstick is the distance light travels in a year, namely, 6,000,000,000,000 miles. But though the distance to the most distant known spiral neublae is 250,000,000 light-years, we probably know more “about it than we do about. the center of the earth, even though it is only 4000 miles to that
spot.
Big Mystery Under Feet ONE OF THE biggest mysteries in the universe is right under our own feet. It is the interior of the earth. The deepest mine is a litle over a mile deep. Compared to the 4000 miles to the Center of the earth, it is a mere pin scratch.
My Day
PHOENIX, Ariz. (Monday)—We arrived here by plane yesterday afternoon, were met by Mrs. Walter Douglas and went directly to her home. There is something marvelous about the quality of the air in this state and in New Mexico. Both states enjoy much the same clear blue skies and a quality of atomsphere which makes you feel, as you look at the distant mountains, that you can almost touch them. : As we ‘wandered around the garden and looked at Camelback mountain, I could not help thinking of the variety of climate and landscape that we enjoy in this country of ours within just a few hours of travel, When we left New York City on. Saturady evening, we were told that hotel rooms had been reserved for us in Chicago in case we could not continue on the same’ plane to our destination.” On reaching Chicago, wg. found that it was raining but, nevertheless, when we ran into the airport terminal, we found that our plane had been cleared. The uncertainties of weather make it wise to allow a little extra time on air trips. There was a great crowd in the Chicago terminal and I imagine the weather had held up a number of people going in different directions. 1 cannot help feeling that a number of air terminals may have to make major improvements in view of the fact that air travel is certainly going to be increasingly used in the coming years. New inventions are making it safer and will gradually conquer the difficulties of bad weather. Building is already going on to improve facilities for travellers.

there will be approximately 50 per. cent more men here than there are now. But ‘maintenance status means Just that. The weeds are not growing up around any of the buildings. Roads are kept as well-tended as they were when they were being used by hundreds of cars and trucks a day. The buildings that have been shuttered can be opened on a moment’s notice. The hospital, capable of taking care of 500 bed patients, has been closed, for instance. Medical needs are taken care of at the smaller base dispensary. But if the hospital should be ‘needed, a crew of corpsmen and doctors could walk in and be taking care of patients on the operating table within the hour.
Peacetime Changes Made
SOME OF the changes that are taking place now are a little amazing to observers, who saw the base in its full war-paint. Then the location of machine-gun pillboxes and anti-aircraft mounts was a problem. Today has been added the “question of spotting most advantageously a half-a-dozen varnish-fresh children’s teeter-totters. A regular school has been set up for the children of some 50 officers and men, whose families have come down to join them. The chaplain’s wife and a marine -sergeant’s wife have teaching certificates from the states and compose the faculty. There have been some offers from both Britons and Americans to lease parts of the base. ; The Tucker Valley plantation is one thing that attracts would-be lessors. It was there when the navy took over the base, and produces among other things grapefruit, limes and nutmegs. . Without making any attempt to go into the farming business, the navy has made a $21,000 profit on Tutker Valley in the past two years, according to Commodore Baughman. The plantation is merely being maintsined, ‘with no effort made to expand it or intensify its yield.

By KENNETH HUFFORD IF YOU COMMIT a crime here and manage to skip the stdte, there's a good chance you won't be returned to face trial, even though you're caught by police of some other state and especially if you ‘get as far away as 400 miles, This is the situation that exists today in Marion county. In some cases, Indiana fugitives are punished on charges in other states but more than half of them taken into custody in another state are never returned for offenses committed here, unless federal charges are involved. > The reason?’ Lack of funds. " "a o ONLY $300 was appropriated by the county council for return of prisoners from other states during 1946. This amount is included in the sheriff's budget and is used only to transport prisoners to the state prison. Even so, the money is gone in no time. How is it possible, then, to return any prisoners? By begging from the state and the FBI, Police Chief Jesse MecMurtry says. The city has no appropriation for this purpose. Sometimes a prosecuting witness is asked to provide the funds with which to return accused persons. But only a few are willing and able to “shell out.”

Figures Look Smaller Now
WORLD WAR II, with its $2,000,000,000 spent for the atomic bomb and its $:,000,000,000 spent for the development of radar, makes stich figures look small. « However, it can be argued that $10,000,000 spent on studying the earth's interior would pay real dividends in the new knowledge it would give us for prospecting for oil, minerals, etc., and for the general information it might give us about physical and chemical phenomena in general. At this time it probably ‘would not be possible to carry such a shaft to a depth of more than three miles. But that would be a beginning and with the passage of time it could be carried down deeper. One of the difficulties of sinking such a shaft would be the increase in temperature. The temperature in the earth increases one degree for every 76 feet. At a depth of five miles, the temperature would be several hundred degrees and the shaft would have to be air-conditioned and cooled with carbon dioxide snow. The whole problem of controlling the air pressure in the shaft would become increasingly difficult as the shaft grew deeper and deeper.

Herr X would very much like to know, but for a long time his cautious inquiries fail to elicit any clues from his colleagues or superiors at the “radio bureau.” 5 ” = : THEN ONE dzy the mystery easily solves itself. X's boss, “Pandur”—who, at the time at least, is identical with the assistant air attache, Maj. Heinrich Wenzlau— hands him a letter for transmission to Berlin. The letter, written in a strange lingo made up of broken German and spy cant, not .only confirms X’s earlier suspicion that “Eierkopf” and “Dr. Emonotti” are one and the same person. It further reveals, by one of those slips that occur in the best intelligence services, that both are identical with Gen. Onodera, attache! Indeed, Wenzlaw, who has ‘told X that. the message is from “Eierkopf,” forgets to delete the signature at the bottom of the letter, which - begins with “My: dear Major” and ends with “Yours very truly—Onodera.” » » " IN THIS letter, Onodera, alias “Eierkopf,” reports upon his third alias, “Dr. Emonotti,” in the approved manner of the German intelligence service. He describes himself as “very honest,” and inspired only by “patriotic motives.” Onodera reveals he previously worked in Ankara, but was forced

Severe Shortage in London
LONDON, because of the great destruction ‘by bombs, has a terrible shortage of housing. There, as they cleared certain bombed areas -along the docks, they put up a very temporary kind of shelter. It consisted of two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. A tiny coalgrate fireplace in the living room and a little gas stove in the kitchen were the only means of heating the house. The next step was still temporary housing, usually of prefabricated material but with a bathroom and more kitchen conveniences. The last step is brick two-family houses with modern heating, a bathroom, and kitchen facilities far beyond what the poorer houses in London have enjoyed in the past. The first temporary shelters are already being torn down as room is found for the second type, and the permanent houses are going up whérever the land is cleared.
We in this country certainly should use our tem- .
porary buildings to the limit for the relief of those needing homes immediately. However, with our resources we should be able to plan éven more rapidly than the British to. replace all temporary housing with permanent homes. We also should be benefited

By NEA Service STOCKHOLM, March 18.—Of all the intelligence agents atthe “radip bureau” on Karlavaegen 59, there was none more versatile, more rightly rated or more daring than the Hon. Gen. Makato Onodera, Japanese military attache -in Stockholm, otherwise known as “Elerkopf”—or

(German high command), named Klatt, who was in charge of military intelligence in the Near East and India. Next he proceeded to Budapest and finally to Stockholm. Before parting from his bosom friend ‘ Klatt, Emonotti-Onodera promised him to “build up a net. work from Stockholm to the United States.” » » ¥
IN FULFILLMENT of this pledge, the Jap general informs the Nazi major that he already has at his disposal three tested spies on the Iberian peninsula. They are Herr Ferber in Barcelona (who possesses a radio transmitter); a certain Kamaras in Lisbon (who also has a transmitter); and a man named Kovats in Madrid (who lacks similar equipment). Ferber in Barcelona obviously is the key man. in the setup, He not only operates a radio transmitter but also “a lady of Japanese-Mexi-can stock, who will soon leave for America to work there for Germany.” Onodera’s letter also involves a Spanish diplomat, identified only as “Pratt,” whom the Jap’ general] first met “officially” in Turkey. “A German liaison agent always | worked with Pratt,” he writes, and he, Emonotti, alias Onbdera, “assisted Pratt and the German liaison agent in their work against Syria, Palesting and India.”

tity, it would be dispelled by two significant references to Japan in the letter. a In one passage, Onodera writes that Emonotti “in reward for his services” in setting up the threeman spy network on the Iberian peninsula “gets all information from Iberia for the Japanese intelligence service.” In another, he refers to the “German-Japanese friendship” between Klatt and Emonotti. When the Jap master spy first turned up in Stockholm, the QGermans there were none too pleased. They did not want any competition, not even from their allies. “Pandur” found it advisable to investigate the Japanese thoroughly before dealing with him. This incident proves the best insight into ‘the setup and workings of the German espionage system. One of the teleprinter reports contains the following notice in reference to Emonotti-Onodera: yo» 8 “ON THE occasion of Pandur’s visit to the Stadtbuero, on January 8, E. (Emonotti) also had a talk there with our representative, who will thus be in a position to supply details about E. It would be interesting to know for which department the man works.”
