IN the little town of Selin. grove, In Pennsylvania, a Sus quehanna university freshman, who as a high school senior had been voted by his classmates as "most likely to succeed," is charg ed with twice setting fire to the college administration building to avoid attending classes, tie pleads guilty to the charge. ; ????? Well, he succeeded In raising a tot of hell, didn't he? "Success" depends on your defi nition of it. IN Detroit the authorities pick up an army photoRrapher who confesses thut he deserted last May because he was bone weary of the "utter monotony of taking picture and working with cam eras day after day." When he was arrested, he was WORKING AS A PHOTOGRAPHER'S AS SISTANT! Screwball? Not necessarily. The army Just failed to make his work Interesting. INTEREST in one's work is one of the mainsprings of human happiness and efficiency, and the employer (even the army) who falls to make the Job as interest ing as posnllilp for all workers is missing a bet. IN Alheni (Greek capital) Dwlfht P. Grlswold, who Is chief of the American mission to aiu ireece iwnn o"iu nniinn u. o. dollars) reports that the Greeks have agreed to Impose govern mental controls on bank credit and to titka other action to "help themselves." That Is encouraging. It's pretty hard to help anybody who Isn't willing to do something to help himself. THE same dispatch reports oth er and k-sa hopeful develop ment In Greece. An "auth'irita tlve source" In Athens say Inrne sums of money have been loaned by banks Iwhat banks not state I) to Greek industrialists for pro.lur tlve purposes, but the loans, In stead of being repaid, are beln used for Sl'KCL'LATlVE pur poses. In Greece, as elsewhere, tne lure' of quick and easy money often outshines the safer prog ress that Is achieved by hard, PRODUCTIVE work.

STANTON A few days ago, being in a hurry for lunch, we dropped into a small restaurant just off the main business district in I'ortlaml. It was a tiny places the type of eating house specializing in quick service, which was what we wanted. Tin place was crowded and everyone was busy. We took the only vacant stool at the end of the counter near the cash register. While we waited, a girl entered and a.sked to see the man ager, who also was proprietor and cook, and who, at the time, was very busy in the kitchen. We could not help hearing the ensuing conversation. The girl wanted a job. She needed work "desperately." She had waitress experience but would do any kind of work. The busy manager, with his mind on delayed orders, never theless was polite. He asked the applicant if she had her union card. When she replied in the negative, he explained that he could employ only union help, and suggested she contact the union office around the corner. The girl, plainly on the verge of tears, said she had no objection to joining the union, but had not understood the necessity for membership, and would go to the headquarters immediately. As she left, the manager started back to the kitchen, then stopped suddenly, a sober expression on his face. "I wish I could think faster," he said to us. "You know, I believe that girl was hungry. I was too busy to think about that. Now I'll worry about her all day. I wouldn't have kt her go out of here hungry. I should have had my witi about me." It was plain that the kind-hearted restaurant owner ac tually was disturbed. It showed in his work after he had returned to the kitchen, as, despite accumulating orders, he stopped occasionally to gaze off into space, envisioning what might happen to a hungry girl in a busy city. We couldn't help, as wa watched the man's pertubation, thinking of the inherent compassion of the American people; how we pour out lavish gifts to feed those who only a few months ago waged war against us; how we fill friendship trains and ships; how we contribute millions of dollars an nually to community chests and Red Cross, buy Chirstmas seals, support charities, and engage in many activities aim ed at relieving human suffering. Perhaps nothing illustrate the American capacity for compassion better than the annual March of Dimes, which opens ita formal campaign in Douglas County today. Infantile paralysis is not the greatest killer among juve nile diseases. Dut the after are terrifying and heart rending. The sight of children, and occasionally an adult, with twisted, helpless limbs crippled for life unless given treatment which few can af ford i indeed pitiful. We have an overpowering dread of the disease which strikes so suddenly and viciously into all classes and walks of life and loaves human misery and suf fering in its wake. In our compassion we combat the disease through mobi lization of forces. e contribute to a financial campaign which makes possible the employment of researchers to study methods of prevention and control, the training of doctors, nurses and technicians in treatment and care of patients and permits certain and prompt action in any areas where epidemics may strike. Implementing the service are hundreds of thousands of volunteer workers who aid in the financial campaign, set up plans for combatting the disease in their ow n communi ties and who supervise the continued aid and treatment of victims. We had sympathy for the Portland restaurant owner who was slow to realize the possible presence of distress, for we, too, failed to think thut the girl's desperate need for work might be sharpened by hunger. Most of us are too busy to see opportunities to help the unfortunate. We are too concerned with our own problems. So we have created or ganizations which conduct our charities for us. We rely upon them as agents. We express our compassion and our generosity in the contributions we make that our Bgents may, on our behalf, give the aid and comfort we arc too busy to think about. Who is there who would refuse to sacrifice everything he possesses if he could but restore life to paralyzed limbs of a little child? The dimes and dollars we give to the infan tile paralysis drive will accomplish just that thing. We may le too busy to follow up and see each individual case in which we cooperatively give the aid that means the differ ence between hopeless deformity and a return to normal, or nearly normal, bodily function, but case histories are avail able to those who might bo interested. If we give generously and compassionately we need not experience the fear that we have failed to heed the cull of distress. U. S. Air Force Only for Defense, Forrestal Says WASHINGTON.
