DR. COMPTON, new head oi Washington State college, oi lers a pregnant thought. He says: "Our nation will not lind the answers to peace-time problems il we see in atomic energy only a threat of annihilation; we WILL find them If we see in It the promise of a more abundant life." WE are standing at a moment ous crossroad In human his tory. We can go on to undreamed of heights of progress and happiness. OR we can go down into the abyss of utter and complete ruin. It Is for us to make the choice. THE decision (whatever It is to be) will lie not so much in the realm of science as in that of HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. Science can be a power for cither good or evil depending on how It Is used by HUMAN BEINGS. BUT enough of moralizing. Let's get back to present realities. A spokesman for Chiang Kai Shek says that Chungking troops will soon begin a mass movement Into Manchuria In TRANSPORT PLANES turned over to Chung king China BY THE UNITED STATES. (There Is an Interesting and perhaps fateful suggestion In the news that these planes are to be flown by AMERICAN CREWS.) It looks very much as If we have decided to back Chungking to wipe out the Chinese Com munists. From their bitter and angry attitude, we can guess that these Communists regard us al ready as an enemy. IT Is practically unthinkable that we would move In against the Chinese Communists In the face of certain Russian opposition to such a course UNLESS our leaders have decided that the time Is here for a showdown with Russia. ALONG that line. Admiral King tells congress that demoblllza tion has proceeded with such a rush that the Navy is NOT NOW PREPARED to light a MAJOR BATTLE if called upon to do so. If that Is true, we are playing a DANGEROUSLY UNWISE game again as we did alter the last war. If America is to have any weight at all In the world of the future, it must stay strong. THERE is a new development in France. De Gaulle, unanimously chosen interim president by the New French constituent assembly, re signs the next day when he fails to "compromise differences" with the French communist party. The communists, the dispatches re IKirt, had set as their price for participation In a coalition gov ernment the appointment of a communist as one of the "big three" ministers I foreign affairs, Interior or war). There Is a later dispatch to the effect that FRANTIC negotia tions to prevent Ie Gaulle's resig nation are undVr way In Paris. Who is doing the frantic negotiat ing isn't staled In the dispatch. The communists are the strong est of three parties represented In the new French constituent as sembly, but are outnumbered by the other two. It Is obvious that they are making a play for all the power they can act. LET US THANK GOD By CherUi We will pause as a nation Thanksgiving holiday. The day has become by tradition one of feasting, family reunion, entertainment. Churches throughout the land will be open to preserve the original intent and purpose of the observance, but too few of us will turn our minds from the pleasures before us to give devout thanks to God for manifold blessings which have come upon us. Yet, while we may not kneel in reverent gratitude, we as a people are deeply thankful for many things. We are thankful that a terrible war has been ended, that our sons and daughters are returning, that mankind has turned its eyes toward permanent may now be obscured while danger of continued war, be cause of human error, still hovers above us. We are thank ful that we live in a land of abundance; a land not rav aged by war's desolation; a land where little children are sturdy and strong, instead of deformed by malnutrition, and mentally ill from horrors of bombings and scenes of death and destruction. As we upon thousands of people throughout war-torn lands will be dying from starvation. Our thanks that we have not met similar fate may be translated into active demonstra tion if we will give of our save lives threatened by famine. While we feast, rejoice and find entertainment, we do so in the midst of a world dark with danger. Perhaps, as we look back to the original Thanksgiving day, we will find a great deal of similarity. The Pilgrims had survived perilous times. Of the 100 persons who had set out on the Mayflower, only 50 re mained. Peace had been established with surrounding Indian tribes. Crops had been bountiful for the first time. Twenty acres of corn had been harvested, although wheat, barley and peas from England's seed had yielded only small crops. But for that first Thanksgiving feast hunters brought in enough game to .last the entire colony for a week, while Indians, who joined the celebration, added five deer to the menu. The Pilgrims knew full well that many difficulties were to face them in succeeding years, but they had passed a milestone in their colonization effort. They had the will to succeed. They had food, shelter, peace and had estab lished a new industry the beaver trade. Their first thought was to thank God for these achievements. We, too, have abundant food in a world of famine. We, too, mourn our dead. We, too, are thankful for peace. We, too, rejoice in prospects of a new prosperity a vast field of industry that has grown almost miraculously in the years since those first colonists began trading beaver pelts with the homeland. But we, too, know that difficult problems are ahead. The great weapon of our salvation, the atomic bomb, poses a threat to all mankind, unless the new-found energy be devoted to ways of peace rather than to the cause of war. We face new wars unless forces of greed and selfishness are subjugated to the universal demand for harmonious international relationship. The world is full of power politics, isolationism, national ism, imperialism ail threats to freedom and to peace. We can well take heed of the words of Acting Governor Howard C. Belton, who in his Thanksgiving day proclamation says: "Let us do homage to God in our homes and churches. Let us honor our country by the display of our flag. Let us resolve ourselves to the peaceful tasks of rebuilding and reconstruction.' Bulldog Jackson, Gray Mask Billed In Mat Headliner The one and only Bulldog Jackson, "clown prince" of wres tling, will make his first appear ance in Hoschurg on Promoter Don Owen's weekly Saturday night wrestling card at the ar mory. The Bulldog will meet the terrible Gray Mask in the main event. Jackson has returned to the ring wars after almost a year of scmt-rclircmcnt. He Is fa miliar to ajl granpllng devotees and In previous years has been one of the biggest attractions In Pacific Northwest wrestling. He Is probably the originator of more unorthodox, villainous ring tactics than anyone in the ring today. Jackson goes wild when he gets In the ring hut there Is method to his madness and he very seldom drops a decision un less it Is via the ,'oul route. He has been accused of everything. Including using dangerous weap ons, on his opponents. The Bulldog has been around a long time hut he has probably never run up against a more dangerous opponent than tlie headbutting, stone-faced Gray Mask.

Nimltz Opposes Merger Plan In Talk to Legion CHICAGO, Nov. 20 (.11 Ad miral Chester W. Nimltz. commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet, told (he American legion yesterday "I cannot support the proixned merger of the War and Navy department," but asserted the controversy "must be re solved promptly to remove the uncertainty which Is now Imped ing postwar planning." Nimltz and John L. Sullivan, assistant secretary of the Navv tor air, Joined Admiral Ernest J. King, commander-in-chief of the United States fleet, who ad dressed the convention. In a plea for a thorough study of the pro posed unification by a non parti san civilian board. Nimltz declared "so radical a change. esH-eially at this time when the nature and the aspects of warfare have been subjected to the greatest nwehanleal revo lution since the Invention of gun powder, must be soberly and con scientiously studied. In every do tail." The 1-cgion in adopting a re port of Its Americanism commit tee voted to "condemn attempts of subversive and racket groups to enroll veterans of World War 11 In their organizations." The same report placed the l-rgion on record as opposing all forms of "isms"-- fascism, nazlsm. and communism.

' Thanksgiving After IIP fjlll Lower Umpqua Man Knows His Historic Dates, Corrects Infallible" Alqmanac Entry By FRED M. WRIGHT News-Review Reedsport Correspondent It isn't everyone who can criticize the editorial staff of the World Almanac and get away with telling them they are in error concerning some specific date, because that publication is supposed to be final authority and many wagers have been settled by Its statistics. The one exception we know has performed the feat of prov ing the World Almanac in error is a humble Douglas county- born Oregonlan, a farmer and dairyman who uses his spare time to keep posted on national and world events and who has an uncanny memory for dates' ana places. This person is Alured Walker, 56, who lives on the farm his father acquired on Scofield river. a few miles out of Reedsport, in 1876. There he has resided con tinuously. in October, 1936, Alured ques tioned a statement as to the date of the killing of "Wild Bill' Hie kok. The World Almanac was brought out as proof. Walker still maintained the date as given In the book to be in error. He checked throughout her memor able dates and questioned the times listed for the Custer mas sacre and the Chicago fire. He wrote the "editor of the magazine and received a reply acknowleglng the error and promising correction, which was made in the 1910 issue. Brazen Trickery Of Nazi, Japanese Leaders Revealed By 1X-WITT NacKENZIE KIP Foreign Offairs Analyst) One of the outstanding charac teristics of the Jap.ir.ese and German war lords, as is bring brought out In the Pearl Harbor Investigation and through the discovery of secret Nazi records, is their cold blooded duplicity. There was (and Is) no honesty amnnir them. We see that in the' callous trickery which Hitler, Gut-ring and other Nazi leaders' used in annexing Utile Austria, while they kept the rest of Eu rope quiet with double-talk. We see It in 11)0 Jap treachery at Washington. Every day emphasizes the ne cessity of removing these war mongers from society. It's grati fying, therefore, to see the Nuorn berg trials of top Nazis opening bclorc the International War Crimes tribunal. It's equally satis factory laud forgive me if I'm wrong! to Itwrn that Baron Gen ei.il llonjo, reputed head of the mllltarisir. who staged the con quest of Manchu:1a. has commit ted hara-kiri rather than face rial as a war criminal ajnng with numerous other militarists whom General Mat-Arthur has or acred imprisoned pending their appearance before the allied court of Justice. Far be it from us to gloat over llonjo's suicide. As a matter of fart It must be admited that it takes a deuce of a lot of courage to l in your body open with a sword and then cut our throat to end the Job. Still the world will be a better place without Honki - and without his gang who will come to trial in due course.
