. This Morning's Headlines THE "NAVY DEPARTMENT has announced in Washington that

it Is trying Lt. Comdr. Edward N. Little, of Decatur, 111., on charges of "maltreatment" of fellow prisoners when he was a senior officer in a Jap prison camp. The court martial trial has been going on behind closed doors for two months.. The Navy officer is accused of

conduct unbecoming an officer, and conduct to the prejudice . of

good order and discipline.

THE TWENTY-EIGHT white men who are on trial in Green

ville, S. C., were told that the judge in the case, Judge Robert Martin, Jr.,' was not going to allow racial issues to enter into their trial on charges of the lynch-rnurder of a South Caroline Negro. The defense claims that Willie Earle had confessed to the mob of taxi drivers who allegedly lynched him, that he had confessed to stabbing

another taxi driver. The- State claims that Earle "was forceably taken from a jail and lynched.

Our Bombing Might - "Operation Pacific" gave millions of Americans their first opportunity to view a large concentration of Superforts the flying battleships that brought Japan to its knees. Even a small group of these great planes makes a beautiful spectacle. The residents of New York, Philadelphia, Washington and smaller communities over which 130 B-29s flew Friday must have been filled with awe as the great concentra

tion swept by and the roar of hundreds of motors shook the

earth. 1

This was "Operation Pacific" a peaceful aerial display;

The great bomb bays were empty. Our vulnerable metropolis tan areas were targets only for cameras. How many of those below thought of Tokyo, Yokohama 'and Kobe or, since this is the atomic "age, of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Amidst 'this peaceful demonstration, did a large proportion of the specta-l tors realize that 130 Superforts, bent' on "destruction, could

cause a holocaust many times worse than that at Texas City? Americans who have not walked through ruins in England, Germany or Japan have little conception of what

aenal destruction really means.

Moreover, the pace of 'aeronautical' 'development is swifter than most of us realize. Today-and Wednesday mark the twentieth anniversary of Lindbergh's flight to' Paris. Tn those days only a "Flying Fool," as both-admiring-and critical Americans called him, would attempt such a journey.'But transoceanic flights long since have been common and today's Superforts soon may be obsolete.,

Hut it is not greater or swnter planes that the world

has to fear. Worse nightmares for those who love peace can

ie caused by rockets with a range approaching that of many

wiirplanes. Not long 'ago a number of cities were 'told by scientists that there is n5 defense against such weapons, loaded with A-bombs, save political defense. Two of Europe's statesmen have 'just emphasized the scientists' warnings. British Foreign Minister' Bevin told his country's' parliament that the leading nations "of the world must get together now or never. French Foreign Minister Bidault said that the Allied powers must hasten to make peace while there is yet time. Neither is optimistic about prospects 'when "Allied foreign ministers resume their conferences at London next November. Yet the Big Four Unit

ed States. Britain. Russia and France hold the future of

the world in their hands.

; "Operation Pacific" beautiful spectacle though it

was carries 'a warning to those Americans, in and out' of

Congress, who seem to think ve can slip back into continen

tal isolation.

A NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD sailor from Wisconsin who was absent'withoUt leave from the Navy aircraft carrier Tarawa has confessed to forging more than $10,000 worth of government office checks, a government agent in Indianapolis has announced. The youth, Marshall McCumber, of Hay ward, Wis., was-arrested at the home' of a brother-in-law near Augusta,-Ind. He is being held on a forgery charge in connection with a check for $1,624 which he cashed at a bank in Indianapolis, Friday.

CHINESE' COMMUNIST troops-are reported to have battered their way to Within' eighteen miles of the 'Manchurian ' capital of Changchun, cutting the key railroads to the city, and damaging the largest government airport in northern Manchuria. In some of the larger Chinese cities .students have staged demonstrations demanding larger living allowances and protesting the way that some Chinese soldiers have manhandled Chinese students.

THE INDIANA BELL Telephone Company has requested an increase in rates on long distance calls to offset the rise in labor costs. The petition was in addition to a previously requested 10 per cent over-all increase affecting 84 Indiana communities. The Company presented its second increase request as the Public Service Commis-: sion reopened the earlier rate case for hearing.

A MAN-FELT LIKE HIS BONES WERE BROKEN DUE TO RHEUMATISM One man recently stated that for years he felt like the bones in his legs were broken. This was due to muscular rheumatism. His muscles were swollen and his legs so stiff and sore that he couldn't walk without limping. He was in misery. Recently he started taking RHU-AID and says the feeling like his bones were broken disappeared the second day. The swelling and stiffness has gone from his muscles; now he can walk without suffering and says he feels like a new man.. RHU-AID contains Three Great Medical Ingredients which go right to the very source of rheumatic and, neuritic aches and pains. Miserable people ' soon feel different all over.
