A MAN OF WAR and letters, Dr. George V. Kendall is one of the best-loved men in and around Crawfordsville, The affection the college town folk shower upon Dr. Kendall is perhaps a reflection of his benign disposition. Many are the stories told about this Milligan professor of English whose bright, yet penetrating, eyes mirror the experiences of educating Wabash college students for 25 years and witnessing the transition of men in two. wars. College students assert that his advice is as precise and accurate as an .answer from slide rule.’ His answers, however, are full of the human warmth not found on a-rule. For many a wise word spoken, both off and on campus, have given troubled young men a brighter outlook. A The present dean of Wabash faculty had many opportunities to converse with men in college and in war. For 22 years he served as dean of the college and following the death of President L. B. Hopkins in 1941, he became acting president of Wabash college. - Of pacific nature, this soft-spoken professor almost entered the ‘recent world conflict in 1939,

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.—There are different stories told by returning soldiers, whose ships dock in the Golden Gate. For instance, 555 Filipino-Americans came home the other day on the transport General Callan. Most of them live in California towns. They are little and quick, and their white teeth flash in sharp contrast against their brown skins. These men were members of the 1st Filipino regiment, which fought so gallantly in Samar and Leyte. Nearly 500: of them have re-enlisted,” and after 90 days in the States, will go back to join their old outfit. And, adds Capt. Gene Frias, one of the company commanders, 800 others of the regiment have decided te~remain with the American army in the Philippines. This is the first time I have run into a mass re-enlistment deal. However, the reasons are not hard to find. Like Army Life SOME OF the men like army life. The like the security, and know that in peacetime the army is different than it is in war. There is a relaxation in discipline; shorter hours of work, a greater ease in getting furloughs. There is another factor, and this is the most imrtant one. It is economic. The average Filipino, either in the islands, or in the States, is not in the high-salary bracket. Army pay is much more attractive to him than to most Americans. But, whatever the causes, when 1300 men of a regiment, re-enlist, that is news The economic angle, undoubtedly. is a tremendous factor in the re-enlistments the army and navy are

Science

TO MY MIND the chief strength of the state department’ plan for the international control of GAtontic energy lies in its frank realization that action must -go beyond pious words about “outlawing” the atomic bomb and even beyond purely negative schemes of inspecting atomic energy installations. Many critics of international action have pointed out that plans in the past to outlaw war were hailed with enthusiasm but eventually proved meaningless. These same critics have also cast doubt on the possibility of establishing any workable system for inspecting atomic energy plants to make certain ‘that they were not” being used.for making bombs. The state department report virtually agrees with these critics, (This report was drawn up by a board of consultants headed by David E. Lilienthal and approved by a state department committee whose members included Maj. Gen. Leslie R."Groves.) Merely a simple agreement to outlaw the bomb will not work, the report makes plain, for a very simple reason. “The development of atomic energy for peaceful purposes and the development of atomic energy for bombs are in much of their course interchangeable and interdependent,” the report states.

Good Faith Pressure

“FROM THIS it follows that although nations may agree not to use in bombs the atomic energy developed within their borders, the only assurance that a cons version to destructive purposes would not be made would be the pledged word and the good faith of the nation itself. “This fact puts an enormous pressure upon national good faith. Indeed it creates suspicion on the part of other nations that tgeir neighbors’ pledged

My Day

HYDE PARK (Friday) —This morning I am going over to receive a collection of newspapers which the Common Council for American Unity is giving to the library as a memorial to my husband. They are issue of foreign-language papers published on the days after he died a year ago. So many people have been kind enough to remember the anniversary of my husband's death and send me tributes to his memory. I deeply appreciate it and wish that I could write each one a note of personal thanks. But I am afraid this will not be possible, so I want here to express my gratitude. 1 feel sure the hope so many have expressed—that my husband's faith in people will be fulfilled—and his own hopes for a happier future for the average man will be carried on successfully by our present and future leaders. I very deeply appreciate the President's coming up here today to attend the ceremony incident to the final taking over by the government of the house ahd the land deeded to the United States by my husband. I hope this gift will bring inter®st. inspiration and pleasure to the people of the country in the years to come, : .

miles from where Dr. Kendall was visiting. The tall Wabash Pedagogue was all set for a rapid trip into the interior of France when the war developed into. the famous “sit-down” battles of the Maginot and Siegfried lines. .“After seeing only one German aircraft during that period, I was content to view the war ‘through the newspapers,” he stated. However, after three. years of merely reading about the war, he decided. to don khaki once again, this time as a lieutenant colonel. Three days after he was commissioned in March, 1942 he was on his way to the Pacific theater df operations. He served in Melbourne, Australia, under Maj. Gen. Richard J. Marshall as regulating officer in the shipping priorities division, having under his command many young men to whom he was more than commanding officer. “And very frankly,” he whispered, “the Melbourne weather is* consistently much nicer than our much broadcast Los Angeles climate.” He added very quickly, “I hope no California Chamber of Commerce representative hears what I've said.” The English professor later served in the censorship division in Manila and spent six weeks in Tokyo before returning to this country for discharge. He is now in terminal” leave. Born in Kirkwood, Mo., on Feb. 14, 1891, (that “V” in his name stands for Valentine), he was educated | in public schools there.” He received his A.

KENDALL taught at Columbia before donning {fe wrapped leggings, tight collar and campaign hat of a second lieutenant in the first world war. At the cessation of world war I hostilities, the young professor attended a university in the small French town of Besancon. It was there that he met Yvonne Geyer and made her a June bride on the last day of that month in 1919. He brought his bright-eyed wife to the small, snug college town in Montgomery county where he began teaching English classes at Wabash college. In 1942, Dr. Kendall was honored with an L. H. D. degree. from Wabash. In his observation of young men during and between two wars, he says: “The same hysteria is existing now that came after the first world war. It's an exaggeration of the difficulties young men are facing now in reconversion to civilian and student life. It's obvious that men re-| turning from war to campus are more mature. I have no doubts that they will be, and are, the better stu- | dents.” He points with pride to his Legion of Merit | received in this war, and grins, a wide, full grin, wifen| someone mentions that he has 13 lines in Who's Who, 1945 edition.

SECOND SECTION

By FJ. E. O'BRIEN 3 A TRIP ACROSS Indiana on the Spirit of St. Louis, the Pennsylvania York-St. Louis train, ordinarily is a matter of a couple of hours or so ‘in a Pullman roomette or the lounge car. But the fellow who has steam and smoke in his blood and no aversion to a few cinders down his neck will choose a journey on the “head end’—in the engine cab. That's what I wanted to do, I told the boss, to pay my birthday respects to the Pennsylvania, which

» » ~ . THE MORNING chosen for the ride was sunny and just a bit nippy. At Union station I met Guy Harding of Terre Haute, special duty engineman who was to escort me, answer questions and probably keep me from toppling out the window.

We walked down Track 6 to the,

western end of the station for the customary conference of the crew that would handle the Spirit to Terre Haute. That morning it consisted of two baggage cars, a diner and 11 Pullmans, so that meant two engine crews. Introductions were made. The engineer on the head engine, which I was to ride. was G. A. (Dick) Forsythe of Terre Haute, a chubby, genial gentleman with pink cheeks and a‘ short cigar.

» » 5 THE FIREMAN, in freshly pressed overalls, was Kenneth

James, also of Terre Haute. Also in the conference was the crew of the second engine, Engineer P. A. Pennington and Fireman J. B. Fry. Then we wbre joined by Conductor Joe W. Leever of Indianapolis. He held a handful of green tissue train orders, which would govern the trip of No. 31, as the Spirit is known on the timetable. Watches were compared; it was then 8:45:30. Less than five minutes later the Spirit steamed in from Columbus, O. The new crew took over, quickly oiled around the engines and

This danger is accentuated | by the unusual characteristics of atomic bombs,| namely their devastating effect as a surprise weapon, that is, a weapon secretly developed and used without] warning. | “Fear of such surprise violation of pledged word will surely break down any confidence in the pledged | word of rival countries developing atomic energy if]

are the only assurances upon which to rely.” : “We have concluded unanimously,” the board of | consultants writes, “that there is no prospect of | security against atomic warfare in a system of inter-| national agreements to outlaw such weapons controlled only by a system which relies on. inspection | and similar police-like methods

. . | Political Problems “THE REASONS supporting this conclusion are not merely technical, but primarily the inseparable political, social and organizational problems involved in“enforcing agreements between nations each free to develop atomic energy but only pledged not to use it for bombs. : So “National rivalries in the: development of atomic energy readily convertible to destructive purposes are the heart of the difficulty. So long as intrinsically dangerous activities may be carried on by nations, rivalries are inevitable and fears are engendered that place so great a pressure upon a system of international enforcement by police methods that no degree of ingenuity or technical competence could possibly hope to cope with them.” At this point, many readers might be inclined to throw up their hands and declare the whole situation hopeless.
