BYRD'S SERVICE IN WAR PRAISED

6th Polar Trip Hinted as Admiral Is Decorated.

By Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.— The havy today took the wraps off its poplar hero, Rear Adm. Richard Evelyn Byrd, revealing that he had played a major role In world war II, both in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. ; Meanwhile, it was learned authoritatively that Adm. Byrd soon will set out on his fourth Bouth Pole expedition. It will be his sixth trip into polar regions. Adm. Chester W. Nimitz presented Adm. Byrd today with a gold star in lieu of a second legion of merit for “exceptionally meritorious conduct” as confidential adviser | to Adm. Nimitz's predecessor, Adm. Ernest King, during the war. “From the many questions asked about Adm. Byrd,” Adm. Nimitz said, “I know there is a widespread interest in what became of him after he vanished from the news columns after his last expedition in 1941. “Now it can be told. “He disappeared from view in 1941, first because his work largely was of a secret nature and secondly because he chose, and insisted upon, completely subordinating himself in |

Author Believe Is Key to W

By HENRY BUTLER World government without worldwide education is impossible, That's the viewpoint of Louis Bromfield, novelist and Ohio farmer, who addressed the final dinner meeting of the Indiana Library and Library Trustees associations at the Lincoln last evening. Mr, the dinner where he delivered an unprepared address, ‘affirmed his belief in education as the only solution to the .world’'s problems. There's a vast difference between mere literacy and education. capacity to read and write ‘is not enough, as you can judge from listening to any radio quiz program,” he said. The author of a string of best{sellers, from “A Good Woman” and

“The Green Bay Tree” to more] recent things like “The Rains] Came,” Mr. Bromfield is concerned

about the wide differences between national educational standards. Tall, rugged and broad-shoul-

smile, best answer to controversial questions. “Take a country-like India, 90 per cent illiterate, or Burma, 98 per cent illiterate, and how can you get real democratic representation of the people? Are the small, preponderantly illiterate nations to be mere stooges of the big, educated nations? “World government demands world representation of the people. Either the people run the government, or the government runs the people. In the latter case, we'll be returning to the middle ages.” Questioned about the election results, he said, “They were inevitable,” adding no political comment. Farmer Bromfield is currently working on an agricultural book and a novel, He says the novel, to be published about a year from next | spring, will have a rural background. Last night's dinner marked the climax of the librarians’ current convention, which was scheduled to conclude today at 3:30 p. m.
