Col. Amos Frothing, U.S.A. The antique gent retired from active service during the Taft administration, still likes to phone an occasional word of friendly advice to the pentagon. I found the cunn'l knee deeD in his 1909 cavalry boots, sipping some 100 proof bourbon and growling at a typewriter. "What're vou ud to. sir?" I asked, tossing him a snappy Boy Scout salute. Well. I'm writinsr a Dlece for the infantry Journal that makes all histories of the Spanish-American war obsolete," said the colonel. "I've just discovered Theo dore Roosevelt took the wrong pat uo San Juan hill." ' "How interestlne. I remember your last article on." "You mean the one in which I 11 .ted seventeen fatal tactical or ders given by the Duke of Wel lington at Waterloo." said the colonel, pleased. "Yes, that caused quite a stir. It was a lucky thing for Wellington that Napoleon had indigestion that day. He made 18 mistakes." To pry the old fellow out of the past, I asked him what he thought of the present military picture in Europe.' "Static, junior. It's static as all get out." Do you foresee war? "Certainly I foresee war." snorted Col. Frothing. "That's my job. I can foresee war. as long as the human race stays as lame brain as it is now." I asked him when he thought the festivities with Russia would begin. "Russia?" he said. "What makes you think we'll go to war with Russia?" Well, a lot of DeoDle seem to think that" . A lot of DeODle Drobablv think nylon comes from worms, just be cause silk does," growled the venerable vet "But that don't make it so. "Look, son, you may grow old and die, and your children may grow old and die, before we have to fight Russia. There may be a war with ten other countries be fore that, Including Germcny." He saw my eyebrows go up. "A lot of darn fools are saying we should re -arm the Germans to serve as a buffer between us and the Russians," said the colonel testily. "That's nonsense. I was glad to see General Bradley Is deadset against that idea. Smart fellow, that Bradley for a young man under 60. Nevtr Give Gun To Hun "Son, never give a gun to the Hun. I got too much respect for the Germans to think you can pay them to fight our wars. If they got guns again, they'll use 'ei. any dam' way they think will serve them best They might team up with the Russians to whip us, and then turn around and lick the tar out of the Russians. In fact, that's just what I think they'd do. They don't have any inferiority complex once they start goose stepping, you know. "Hiring a German army to fight for us would be just like try ing to employ the late Jesse James as a bank guard." The colonel poured himself four fingers of bourbon and drank it neat. "What about the atom bomb?" I inquired. "Glad you brought that up, junior," he said. "I've got a small scale model I've been testing in the bathroom. Come in, and I'll show you how It works." I left hastily. You never can be sure that old colonel is kidding. Collies' Reactions To Dog Story Movie Are Varied WHITLEY BAY, Eng. UP) Three dogs were treated to a private showing in a movie house In this North sea town near New castle to settle an argument. ' One dog owner said his pet en joyed films. The others wouldn't believe him. So three collies got a free show. They sat in a balcony and saw "Master of Lassie," starring an other collie. One paid attention throughout. Occasionally he gave what look ed like a dog laugh. The second animal seemed somewhat bored but barked when the dog In the picture barked. The third went to sleep. "The test did show that two of the dogs recognized the animal on the sereen as a dog," said theater manager Hugh Evlll. "But I don't suppose we'll ever settle the argument," he added.

George Imal, national field secretary for the Boy Scouts of Japan, has enrolled at Whitworth College as a freshman in social work. This is the second time that Imai has been a college freshman but to day he's a lot more optimistic about his own and his country's future than he was when he first tried college six years ago. He was in his second month at a Tokyo university in 1943 when the Japanese draft swept Tiim into a Naval officers train ing school. Then as a 17-year-old cadet Imai said he was certain that Japan could not win the war and that he would surely be killed in action. He says he, was so sure that he volunteered to be a Kamakaze pilot "to get it over with." But the Japanese turned down his request to fly a suicide plane and in May, 1945 he was com missioned an ensign in the Em peror's navy. Before he could be assigned to a ship the war was over. Imai took off his ensign's uni form and burned it in accord ance with occupation orders. But in a few months he put on an-' other uniform that of the Boy Scouts of Japan and at 23 be came the national field secretary. Imai says the scouting pro gram In Japan is poorly organiz ed but could be a great help in rehabilitation of the country. "The younger generation in Ja pan didn't have a good educa tion because of the war," he said, "and most of them at present don't care what happens. I want to help remedy this. He hopes to take executive scout training in New Jersey and in London after graduating from Whitworth and then return to Ja pan to train future Boy Scout leaders. Imai first became interested In scouting in Honolulu where he attended grade school and learn ed English. He recalls that as a member of Honolulu troop 36 he helped form an honor guard for Franklin D. Roosevelt when the late President visited the Is lands in 1935. When he returned to Tokyo for high school he re mained active in Boy Scout work. FLOORING Siding Finish PAGE LUMBER & FUEL 164 E. 2nd Ave. S. Phone 242 Dr. E. W.

S The action was a victory for a group of undergraduates who have no vote In the conference of graduate fraternity officers. Stu dents interfraternlty council lea ders from New England and "big ten" colleges prevailed on dele gates to revive the bias Issue at tir it wan excluded from the pro gram. Alexander Goodman of Balti more, executive secretary of Phi Alpha fraternity, introduced the measure for them, but it did not get through as offered. As adopted, the statement re cognized, that many fraternities do not have and never have had restrictive clauses in their char ters; also, that the question of membership Is one for each frat ernity to decide. But It goes on to recommend that the fraternities which do have selectivity clauses "con sider this question in the light of prevailing conditions and take such steps as they may elect to ellmlnnte such sHeetivlty provi. slons." The more strongly worded re solution offered by Goodman would have provided that the conference recommend that fra ternities "repeal and abolish" any by-law or constitutional pro vision which discriminates "against any college student be cause of his religion, race, color or creed." aw 113-PIECE PACKAGE & -Mr -.
