THE BONUS LOAN REPORT Stale officials, boards and commissions are customarily required to report to the public on the job they are doing- It is a wise requirement. Such reports provide the answers to many questions, whether spoken or unspoken. They place administrators directly in touch with the people, make certain that public business remains public business. Sometimes these reports are read. That they are frequently not read is no fault of those reporting'. Those who ignore them are more likely than not to be the losers. A recent compilation of the kind, in which there is much of interest, is the tenth biennial report of the world war vet erans' state aid commission, more commonly knawn as the bonus loan board. It contains much of interest and would draw attention in any event just now because its accounting of a state debt incurred as a result of one war comes at a time when, it is forecast by many, America seems on the verge of participation in another. This, of course, has nothing to do with the contents of the report. These are noteworthy in their showing that the affairs of the commission are in good condition, that the debt, incurred in providing the fund from which loans were made to veter ans, is decreasing. There was a period when losses were suf fered. These were a natural heritage from an earlier period when loans were made on inadequate security. The situation was aggravated presently by the impecunious condition of many borrowers. To the loan board life became one long, splitting headache. Inevitably the state became a heavy owner of what had been private property. But, in the two years end ing June 30, 1940, the commission, following an intelligent sales policy and with reduced maintenance costs on its proper ties (these had already been pretty well rehabilitated), was actually able to show a small profit on its operations. This profit, analyzed, is one of the most interesting parts of the report. It constitutes evidence that, regardless of gigan tic sums expended in the last few years in an attempt to solve the farm problem, regardless of ingenious planning, the an swer is still incomplete. The profit was solely from manage ment and sale of city properties. It was made in spite of the fact that management and sale of farm properties was a los ing venture. The last month of the fiscal year, rentals of farm proper ties grossed a 1.8 per cent return, those, of city properties 6.1 per cent. Of farm properties. 78 per cent were rented, of city properties 86 per cent. The state's investment in farm prop erties had increased more than $75,000 in one year, in city properties it had decreased more than $225,000. The summary of sales shows 1,632 city properties disposed of at a Drofit of $85,906.36. The 587 farm properties sold resulted in a loss Ot ?35,827.i7.

TEARING DOWN THE SWASTIKA America has little liking for the crooked cross of naziism, nor for the theory of government which it represents. Per- haps it should be said, rather, because of the theory of govern ment which it represents. Certainly the calamity which has been visited upon the world in putting this theory into prac tice could not encourage approval in a thorough going democ racy. But, with these statements accepted as axiomatic, the fact v remains that the affront to the German flag, as reported in the news of last week from San Francisco, was inexcusable. Dip lomatic relations are still maintained between America and Germany. Representatives of the German government in our country are still entitled to ordinary courtesy. The flag in question was flown from the quarters of a German consul, where he had every right to be. That it should be torn down in the presence of a cheering crowd was a cause for just resent ment by the nation to which it belonged. That the act should have been committed under the leadership of enlisted men of the U. S. navy made it the more reprehensible. Germany, we would say, had an apology coming.

BY BETTY WALLACE f.WJ Yesterday: Martha goes to the Country club party with Paul, spends a gay, whirlwind evening with Paul's friends. After the dance, they go to a night club and it is dawn when Martha reaches home. The telephone awakens her. It is Bill, calling from camp. He has been trying to reach her all night a a a MABTHA TELLS A LIE CHAPTER XIV As her husband's voice went on in her ear. Martha Marshall sat down groggily on the chair by the phone table. "Where were you last night?" he was asking again. She looked at the little electric clock which had come from the store where Bill used to work. It was 9:30! Nine-thirty on Sunday morning, and Bill was asking her what kept her out last night. "Where were you?" he shouted again. "Martha, are you there?" "I'm here." Never afterward could she explain the impulse which made her take a deep breath and say, quickly. Why, Bill, I I was out with the girls last night. You know, I I joined their bowling club." Bowling:" he repeated. "Bowl ing until after midnight? You must be a glutton for punish ment!" She hated herself. "I'm sorry I missed your call," she said meek ly. "Was it was it something Im portant? Did you get leave? "Important? Sure it was impor tant! I wanted to talk to you. Most of the guys go into town on Sat urday nights and have themselves a time. And me, I'm stuck out here, thinking of you." a She had been dancing at the country club going from one man's arms to another's laugh ing, enjoying herself while Bill moped In an Army camp. "Oh, I'm so sorry I wasn't here!" "Well, you can't stay home every night," he said. "As far as leave is concerned, I've got a fat chance! With only a year to train us, the brass hats aren't handing out any leaves to speak of. She had hoped that he might come Home lor a lew days. But they weren't to have eventhat. "I wish you'd come up here again," Bill said. "How about next week? Do you think you could?" She hesitated. Much as she wanted to go, it had been a gruel ing drive. And she's been late the following morning. "I I hate to ask Paul for his car again," she said at last. "Besides, he said he wouldn't lend It to me." "Said he wouldn't lend It to you?" Bill was lncredulous."What got into him? Did you smash a fender going home?" "No. lie thought It was too long a drive for me. I was late next morning." "Why don't you ask him to drive you down, then? It's not too far for him, I hope! I'd like to see the old prune, anyway." "All right," she said slowly. "I'll ask him." "That's swell. I'll be seeing you next Sunday." "Yes." "In case I forgot to mention It" he began, softly. Martha knew what was coming. She fin ished it for him, "I love you, dar ling." She sat there, after she had Import From Germany hung up, wishing bitterly that she hadn't lied to Bill. He wouldn t have minded her going to a dance with Paul. There'd been no need to lie. Their silly little Joke, hers and Bill's was like a reproach to her. "In case I forgot to mention it " was a phrase that always brought back the time Bill carried her over the threshold into their new home. He had glimpsed the red leather chair which he had insist ed on buying in defiance of all the laws of good interior decoration, and he had dropped her uncere moniously. "The chair! See, it does fit in, see?" Martha had managed to keep herself from falling by grabbing his shoulders. "You bumb oaf! Is this the way you carry in your bride?" Bill had grinned, sheepishly. "In case I forgot to mention it, I love you, darling. But you've got to admit, that's a wonderful chair. It adds distinction and class to the whole room!" She went back to bed. But not to sleep. Why had she lied to Bill? Why? a a a Paul was delighted when she asked him. to drive her to the camp. She had known he would be. "Now you won't have to leave on Saturday, to make it," he said. "Sunday momlng at about 7 will put us there plenty early." They reached camp soon after 10, and again Bill was waiting. He shook hands with Paul and said pityingly, "You look pale, fellow." "It's the night life," Paul re torted. Martha prayed he wouldn't refer to last Saturday night. "He means night work," she put in hastily. "The plant's about 3000 orders behind." Bill asked, "Want to take a look around the camp, Paul?" "Not especially," was the honest reply. "Give me a bird's eye view of what they've been doing to you, and let's get out of here. I suppose you'd appreciate a decent meal? I'll even pay for It." "What do you mean, decent meal? Listen,- boy, this army feeds good!" It did not take long for Bill to secure his pass. While they wait ed, Paul and Martha stood outside the building, and every time a soldier passed Paul shook his head mournfully. "I'm certainly lucky the country needs me more beside my slide rule than behind a gun!" "Do they look so bedraggled to you? Or miserable? What is It?" "Maybe it's the uniform. It sheds a pea green glow . . ." a The drive Into town from camp, with Paul behind the wheel and FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS MOW I BUT I'rA iaKOM- HOW TALL I IMO FAV&T 1U.

Y. tf The Leroy vil lage board wants shatterproof fixtures Installed in the cells of the town lockup. New fixtures costing $100 were Installed in the Jail three months ago after an intoxicated prisoner went on a one-man ram pa iff. A duplicate performance staged by an irate Inmate resulted in even greater damage to the porcelain fixtures. Village authorities are seeking permission from the stale depart ment of correction to install cast iron fixtures. Bill squeezed into the space next to the door, was different front Ihe other time she'd spent with Bill. Now Paul was asking ques tions about the training. BUI explained, 'The brass hats figure they can't give the con- scriptees any fancy training. You can't make anti-aircraft gunners. anti tank gunners, tank corpsmi n. even horse wranglers for the cav alry. In a year. So we re the In fantry, boy. The good old Infan try, the right arm of the army. We're the kindergarten class In soldiering. "They're teaching us a lot of tough exercises to harden us up.

We're get ting battalion training pretty soon. That's harder. Camouflage, scouting, patrol Am I boring you, Mr. Elliott?" "No. indeed, Mr.Marshall." grin ned Paul. "But I think Martha's yawning." It was a gay Sunday. After a huge dinner in a good restaurant, they explored the town. It was full of soldiers. About 5 o'clock they found a cheerful little Joint where Bill and Paul drank cold beer, and where a Juke box ground oift dance music. Martha danced with Bill, and then with Paul, and then with a couple of soldiers who had somehow crash ed the party. "We're lonesome," they explained. '.'We're very lone some." Bill vetoed a movie. "That's all we do nights, sec movies. I bet I've been every one they're run ning In town." Yes, a gay and Jolly visit. And yet, saying goodby to Bill, Martha couldn't help the little fccllnft that something had been missing from their hours together. Some ten derness, some Intimate oneness; a Joy in .being together that had been theirs that other Sunday. BUI whispered, against her hair, as he held her close In a last fare well, "I enjoyed seeing Paul, honey. But next lime, try to make It by yourself.

About a year ago, someone at a press conference asked Speaker liankhead If he pxpectivl a presi dential message on luxation. He replied that as far as he knew no such message was coming. Half an hour later, a presidential mes sage on taxation was laid on Ills desk to be read to the house. Just before the last fin-side chat, FUR had Kayburn In and dis cussed the defease program and the coming radio address, remark ing that he was highly pleased with some of Ihe defense program progress, greatly displeased with other parts of It.

IUr.lt KEY I.K.LSI..TION I Sam Kayburn came In for a lot of criticism In the last congress, I which was unruly and often broke away from Ihe president. Hay- burn was a rloae friend of Vice President tinnier. IWause the hiMise didn't slay In line, he wna often accused of quietly sabotag ing New Deal ellorl. That wasn't true. Kayburn was in a spot. Speaker liankhead wax In bad health, and In effect Kay burn had to be both the majority leader and speaker. In addition liankhead was a good presiding officer, but didn't make his job the vehicle lor aggressive leader ship. To top It all, Ihe aclmlnlMi a linn was not playing ball wilh Its congressional leadership, but was sending up bills and messages without prior consultation. All of that Is now changed. Kayburn's biggest asset Is the fact that house members have him IM'ggid as a square-shooter. The present speaker put through some of Ihe New Deal's key leg isintion- the holding company bill and the bill creating Ihe federal communications commission an' samples but Ihe Job he Is moal proud of In all his 2H years In con gress is his creation of Ihe ruial electrification administration.
