‘Cellmates?’
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—If I go to jail for spilling. war secrets in this dispatch, "then, so help me, Fleet Adm. Ernest J. King is going to be my cellmate. George Meader, my legal counsel, says so. He works for the senate war investigating committee when he's not busy advising me on my chances of staying out of a striped suit. Horizontal stripes. Whooie, I am in a jam. So is the admiral. He was sore because he said the committee accused him of spending $134.000,000 to build a pipeline in Canada and ‘Alaska, when one tanker sailing regularly from Seattle could have carried more oil. The admiral appeared before the committee to announce that the joint chiefs of staff approved the pipelimte—not he alone. He handed to the press gpopies of the statement he intended to read and included a few letters from big-wigs. Senator James M. Mead, New York, said he'd be dured if he could see how the adniiral could accuse the committee of distorting the facts, when it couldn’t get the facts. The canol file of the chiefs of stafl continues to be marked, “secret.” Secret or Not Secret? SO SENATOR MEAD called up the chief's secretary, Col. Andrew J. McFarland, a plump little fellow In a summer soldier-suit, who spent an uncomfortable hour trying to “explain why the dope on the pipeline still was secret “All the letters in the file ‘are marked secret?” insisted Senator Homer F. Ferguson, ‘Michigan. The golonel said they were “Then how come Adm. King handed to the press
Science
THE NATION today needs a hoard of top-ranking scientists to plan national defense in terms of atomic bombs, bacterial warfare, radioactive” poison gasses, and rockets capable of spanning the oceans. I am fully aware of how unpleasant that list of new weapons sounds and I know how deeply th2 average citizen feels that we must never have another war. I share that feeling and I have said many times that IT know no scientist who ‘will guarantee the ability of civilization to survive another war, I believe that we must do evegything in our power to solve present international problems, fashion a smooth-functioning United Nations, and establish lasting peace. . But in the meantime we must remember that we cannot do these things alone and until the other -nations of the world, notably Russia, have agreed to such a program, we must think also in terms of na tional defense. . : Scientists had enough time to design radars. radio proximity fuses, rockets and atomic bombs after we There never will be that much time again. : If world war IIT comes—and God forbid sueh a disaster to the world—it will have to be fought with the weapons and plans that are ready. There will be no time to improvise,
Different Thinking Needed
THAT is why the cogitations of admirals on how battleships can be made sufficiently strong to withstand atomic bomb attacks must be supplemented by thinking of a different sort. The question which a hoard of scientist§ for national defense must ask itself is: How will world war III be fought? Then the nation must prepare itself to launch such a war and equally to prepare itself against such

A STARVING INFANT which Mr, and Mrs. E. B. Carpenter, 3425 N. Euclid st., found on their doorstep a month ago is. now thriving and eating everything from apples to corn on the cob. ‘In case you think that a strange diet, maybe we should point out it was an infant squirrel. The carpenters took the baby squirrel in, fed it on a medicine dropper and generally adopted it. They tried to turn “Nutsy” loose a couple days ago but he wouldn't Jeave—~he'd rather be fed corn on the cob than to have to look fomsnuts. Just as fond of the squirrel-as his “foster parents” is a neighborhood boy, young Jimmy Bell, Jimmy, who's almost 9, is out of school because of ill health, awaiting an operation. “Nutsy” helps him pass away the time and the neighbors get a kick out of watching the pair's antics, .-. .

Lunches Too Much for Car
FOR SOME UNKNOWN reason we have a lot of items about. cars. where cast members of the opening show “Three Men on a Horse,” are afraid they'll have to make room on the horse for Director Jack Hatfield. Said Mr. Hatfield recently loaned his car to a couple’ of the office staff at lunchtime. The additional weight of the lunches must have been too much for the car. When they attempted to start it the buggy emitted some horrible noises and expired on the spot.

We cannot use it.” The colonel mumbled on that one: I thumbed through Adm. King's handout and there was the letter, all right, saying the chiefs of staff had economized on their Polar pipeline.

Othman Tells All
THAT IS the entire secret. It is why I am in danger of a term in the clink. I have told all. Lawyer Meader said this was a crime, all right, but that if the federals nabbed me, they'd have to handcuff the admiral, too. Senator Ferguson said he wondered what the admirals were trying to keep secret.
“More than a year ago,” he added, “I was in Paris and T was put up in the Braunhaus, former gestapo| headquarters. I wandered into the library. They told | me not to touch any of the books because they might | be booby traps.

Lessons Quickly Forgotten
LESSONS of a war ‘are forgotten more quickly | than one might suppose.

And it is no se- | cret that many a high-ranking officer used all the | ability he possessed to do what he could to prevent! any such merger. : | In the final stages of the discussion of the mer- | ger, the most-discussed fact was whether an army | or a navy officer would head it, proving conclusively | that nobody in uniform even considered the merger in such basic terms as that of one fighting organiza-

The victory: An independent union of employees in the Duquesne Light & Power Co, is relieved of an injunction against striking and the union's president is free from jail. The problem: Will the Pittsburgh incident set up a precedent for ads justment of labor disputes in other cities? Will it bring on state and national legislation to prevent or control future industrial dis« turbances, particularly in public utilities? In this city, a stronghold of ore ganized labor, the C. I.
