It is un fair to keep tantalizing the American public that way. a a The Naii gals on trial for prison camp atrocities were tough females, and managed to be meaner than their male co defendants, all testimony in the trial at Lucncnbcrg, Germany, indicates. They thought up most of the cruelties, and, were proud of It and enjoyed the suffering they caused. Only a few years ago, a lady bandit of the South west thought she was going some, when she smoked a cigar, while helping her man rob a bank. e e e The Republican party Is now accused of 'beating the bush', by administration leaders. lis tho onlv thing they have beat since 1932. e e e SERVED HER RIGHT (EMTORIA (KAN.)

He re fused." e e e After an Interview, the Mika do of Japan Is described by the Interviewer, as "having a schol arly air reminiscent of a college professor".

Y., Sept. 22 "May In September" is even more noticeable here than elsewhere from the Missouri to the Atlantic. This is the first clear day after nearly a week of clouds and rain and to say the country is beautiful is to express it mildly. So are the lawns and the trees on the many country estates hereabouts, lush and luscious. It is difficult to realize that in another month the leaves will start to turn to gold, crimson and copper, and a few weeks later they will begin to drop and winter will be litre. Perhaps that won't happen, the rest of 1945 may be as freakish as the first nine months. The lifting of the gas regulations has created a transformation here as everywhere else in the country. New and reopened road side taverns have suddenly blossomed forth like mushrooms after a warm fall rain. Where a month ago they were few and far be tween, between New York and Boston they are now as thick as hair-do's In Hollywood, all along the old post-road. And doing a rushing business apparently. The chief objective of this trip has now been attained, a family reunion. Instead of "dinner at 8" it is dinner FOR eight. The latest arrival, however, still on a bottle. There is nothing remarkable about her except sly has a heavy head of beautiful curly auburn hair; eyes as deep blue as Crater Lake and as sparkling as a couple of planets on a cold, clear winter night, a smile like Mona Lisa and she already convulses animat edly with her mother when she takes her pabulum! (She is tlx weeks old today.'; The rest of the family that is the children, well they are just so-sol The oldest, 60 months old now, shaves himself, cooks his own breakfast and is the handsomest boy for his age in West chester county, otherwise Just average. His brother, 30 months old, is not quite so photogenic, but as well as shines his own shoes. He hasn't decided when to join the "Quiz Kids," but probably .not until after he has done his Christmas shopping. All in all, a pretty nice little family! (At least WE think so!) a e e e e Our first visit to Mt. Kisco was in the late fall of 190J, figure that up if you arc good at We came here to spend a young lady, she had curly hair too! but she must have been all of 16 and her papa had recently become owner of a nearby farm and half a dozen saddle-horses. Wo did a lot of riding, yes, pupa went along! and as our animule had a rather jump-trot, at least we always blamed the horse, we lost our pocket book and every cent we had to our name, Maybe you think that wasn't on space for the late and lamented But it had a happy ending and The pocket-book was not only found but relumed and not h penny missing! xne joy or recovery anguish and desperation. Mt. Kisco was very different was the only famous and solvent country gentleman hereabouts, it was essentially a dirt farming community, not a prosperous or smart one. Now it is both, rather too much so In our opinion. Motored over to White Plains, This was a quiet country village now u is pracucaiiy a suDuro of new York, with large movie palaces, branches of the smart Fifth avenue shops like Altman, Best and Bonwlt-Tcller, traffic cops all over the Dlace and as hard to find parking space as on Market street In San Francisco. On our return stopped at the at the antiques, this for the distaff side of the family, a typical colonial type of house, white with green blinds built in 1746. Nearing Mt. Kisco ran into a similar old homestead, a white sign on the green lawn proclaiming it the "Beecher Home," in large Gothic letters, and in much smaller ones beneath "MORTICIAN" we didn't stop! R.W.R.

"As a rule, employers are not qualified to deal with the pro fessionals whom the unions send to 'negotiate.' They cannot be expected to be so qualified. They get themselves into bad trouble being too tough or too soft or not understanding the real meanings of things they do or say or agree to. The techni cal complexities make it easy to trap iin employer who has not devol.'d to the study of the sub led more time than most men with wide responsibilities can affon' Some very innocent and reasonable-sounding phrases in union contracts turn out to have unsuspected meanings when issues arise.

News Behind The News By Paul Mailon Washington, Sept. 28 The American writers with sym pathy for internationalism and generally for Russia are now daily reporting to us their deep dismay that Molotov would not budge an inch toward agree m e n t s in the Big Three council of min- i s t e r a. They are taking lea dershlp in faiu etaua declaring the conference every thing from a bust to a farce. As I gather it, they foresee the Rus sians doing in Europe just about what we went to war to stop the nazis from doing namely, gob bling It up. The news has not created a corresponding shock on the in side here. Within officialdom, not too much else from Russia was genuinely expected. No Moscow policy or declaration of diplomatic action during the war or since justly gave grounds for assuming that Stalin was really fighting for the Atlantic charter for Romania and Italy, except as It might be interpreted be yond our comprehension in Rus sia's fundamental political inter ests. a a a THUS, while the run of Lon don reports may claim "the Russians outsmarted us again" and term the conference a failure from our standpoint, the inner judges see we have merely made a beginning toward development of a policy by understanding what we are up against. The London council drew the issues down from the 'abstract realm of allied propaganda into actual application and discov ered the void. Moscow had been talking about "democracy" for Romania, while meaning hege mony over it. Not until the London council sought to bring the issue down to terms of prac tical action did it become un avoidably apparent to those who preferred to be blind that we were talking about opposite things. In this case, as on Hungary, Italy, Yugoslavia and, in fact, nearly all issues, the public is now able to discover not only that a void exists but the pre cise dimensions of It. In short, everyone can now measure in inches how far apart we are. Until this basis of discussion was accomplished, progress was im possible. Of course, it would have been easy for-us to accomplish "suc cess" of this conference, as in the past, by giving Russia every thing asked, or by asking for nothing for our Ideals while pre tending "complete accord." That kind of "success" is the success of surrender. Getting rid of that kind of success for conferences Is In Itself a constructive achieve ment which opens the way for fair negotiations, realistic com promises and possible genuine agreements in the long run. The most effective bargaining point Russia has pressed against us in the world dickering so far is that our statesmen thought they needed a successful outcome to advertise to our people. Stalin and Molotov assumed no respon sibility for successful conclu sions. They could let a confer ence fail. If we have dug our selves out of that hole in London, the conference may eventually prove more of a success in its very failure than previously "successful" conferences which failed to motivate action, and thus arc recognized now to have been real failures of the past, a a a THESE are not my observations but a report on the inner im port of the situation. They may lead to development of a work able and sound American foreign policy and a constructive defense of our ideals and purposes in the world ahead. As to the personal Inside of the affair.

Mr. Byrnes has bean going strictly on hi own. with such advice as he gleaned presumably from twj fountain aiiairs, ana irom james Dunn, the assistant secretary, who knows them inside and out. These two were apparently 'at each Byrnes' ear in London to the- exclusion of others. They all seem bent on build ing a new American policy irom scratch, over a period of months and vpara. outside the fears and domestic politics which largely motivated the Roosevelt aamin istration. And, facing the facts at last, it may be that they will next make permanent the agree ments of Chapultepec, and es tablish a genuine understanding and solidarity. At least we can reasonably look forward to that crmnH prnnnd to build UDon for i nnatwar course which Russia has always Inwardly pursued in ac tion without deviation. COMMUNICATIONS Letter! to the Kdltut mutt naai the name and addresa ol the writer although the uae ul a pen-name or inltlali lot publication la permla Ihle the Mall Tribune reiervea the riant to adit all letter! arttli a view to clarity and enodenaauon Atom Power Far Distant To the editor, To me, one of the most striking bits of informa tion regarding the atomic bomb is that, even if pure U-235 were used as the explosive, only one thousandth of the total atomic energy present would be re leased. To think that all that earth-staggering energy released over Hiroshima and Nagasaki represented only 110 of one per cent o the total energy in the explosive! The explanation lies in the end products of the split U-235 atom. If the end products weighed as much as the U-235 atom, no energy would be released, be cause you can't get something out of nothing, even with atomic energy. The energy released is equivalent to the difference in mass between the atom and its end products; for physics teaches that energy and mass are simply two phases of the same thing. In the case of U-235, 99.9 per cent is converted into other ele ments, mostly radioactive, such as barium and krypton, together with miscellaneous "spare parts." The remaining 0.1 per cent furn ishes all the energy of the ex plosion. Regarding the use of atomic energy as a source of power, a recent scientific article threw cold water on the idea that we might soon see an atomic-powered auto with a built-in "life time" plug of U-235 and a "fist sized" motor. ' Such a thing is theoretically possible and may come, but remember that, even if you could cross the country in a thimble-full or less of atomic fuel, that amount of fuel, at pre sent costs of production, would cost many many times the price of the equivalent gasoline. Atomic fuel is coming, perhaps soon, but it will probably com pete first as a super-concen trated fuel where space is at a premium. So , as Editor Ruhl would say. if you are waiting for an atomic radio, to say nothing of a nome radio with radar, better not hold your breath.
