We have had time to read over the text of the Moscow com munique with special reference to the provision regarding the atomic bomb, and feel very much as we did last June when the final results of the UNO conference were announced. A very Imperfect piece of work, as full of holes as a dried out sponge; but a START. , , , And after so many failures in the field of international co operation, a START is something, in fact a great deal. This is mprin11v true as far as the matter of atomic energy is con cerned. For now probably the near future use the atomlc-oomD tfnoinnd nnd Russia. have agreed over to a commission of the United Nations and when that has been done this country will hand over the "know-how" of bomb construction. That is a big step toward bomb and the outlawing of it, as a DEStructive force in war, con centration upon the CONstructlve use of atomic energy in peace As has been repeatedly remarked in mis department, in mis matter of the atomic-oomo lime is extremely iiupuriuni. nuw long Is it going to take for example, to get the machinery set up for this atomic control in the United Nations? If it takes such a long time, that Russian scientists have time to discover how to make the bomb, then good night! only a miracle could then prevent an armament race in the atomic realm, and a war that would literally mark the end of what has been known as modern civilization. We realize we have had a great deal to say about the atomic bomb in this column since Hiroshima, and probably there are many who are pretty much fed up with the subject. For them we would suggest a Collier's of January 5th and ah article by Dr. Hurold C. Urey, one of the pioneer atomic scientists, entitled "I Am a Frightened Man." That might be followed up by the reports of Generals Arnold and Spaatz, concerning air power in the atomic age; reports of the Federation of Atomic Scicntistr of Washington, D. C, and another (joiner s article called - .tomorrow the Moon." If. after reading these offerings, there remains any feeling that the Mall Tribune, or any much about the atomic bomb, the atomic energy and at the earliest can say to such as these is this: "You are living in a fool s followed in this crisis, by a majority of your countrymen, the time is coming, and not so very far in the future, when that world will blow up in your face, reducing you and all you possess and all you hold dear, to DUST!"

It is true the pancrea gland gives off insulin and It is often found, especially among older people, that the rotio of insulin causes diabetes.

R.W.R. BY GIRL SLAYER San Francisco. Jan. 8 (U.P.) Police said tonight thoy were skeptical of the latest confession of Thomas Henry McMoniglc, 35-year-old cx-convlct held for tha kidnap-murder of Thorn Chamberlain. McMonlgle, according to San Mateo authorities who soid the confession was reported to them by Santa Cruz county officials, said he kidnaped a 20 to 30-year-old negro girl In San Fran cisco, drove her to Devil's Slide, murdered her and threw her body over the cliff. It was at Devil's Slide that MrMonlgie, in his original con fession of the kidnaping of Bobby-soxer Thora, placed the disposition of the San Jose high school girl's body. Garments believed io have belonged to 14-year-old Thora were found in the area. Including a pftir of red bobby-sox clinging to the face of the cliff. San Francisco police said they had no missing person of the descriptloi given by MeMonigle in this his third different confession. They said they were "highly skeptical" of his state ment in view of the fact that he is scheduled for trial for murder In Santa Cruz county on Janu ary 30.

MTJarney Tells Plans Three Divisions Need ed Unselected Frankfurt, Jan. 5 (U.R) Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, command er of American forces in Europe, today announced his long range plans for policing the American occupation zone. There will be a task force of 38,000 men equipped with ar mored cars which will patrol the zone day and night. There will also be three infantry divisions totaling 45,000 men, an air force, 12 light tank bat talions, and service and admin istrative echelons to support them. In all the American long-range occupation force will total 300,000 men. McNarney expected the 300,- 000 total to be stabilized by July. There now are 616,000 men in the European theater, McNarney reiterated the war department policy of returning eligible soldiers home as fast as possible, but said redeploy meit, henceforth, would be de pendent o.i fulfillment of Amer lean responsibilities in Germany rather than on the availability of shipping. McNarney said the three divisions assigned to permanent occupation duties had not yet been selected. Previous occupa tion plans called for 367.000 men, including eight divisions. The America noccupation force will be responsible for the control of approximately 60,000 square miles and 16,000,000 people, McNarney said. Troops are required in 55 cities and at airfields, depots and dumps. McNarney said he personally believed the military govern ment was doing "a good job even though some Germans Nazis don't think so." SOUTHERN BELLE ROMANCE AT END Nashville, Tcnn., Jan. 5-(U.R) Lt. Helmut von der Aue, who escaped from a prisoner of war camp and ran away with a plantation owner's wife, planned to marry her and live in Wash ington "where I am sure one of the many good German people would get me a job". Von der Aue, who was ar rested with Mrs. Edith Rogers here, today told the United Press that he fell in love with her while working on their plantation near Bculah, Miss. "Until then I had felt like a second class man," said the son of a Prussian landowner, "but she liked me and she used to invito me in every day for drinks.' Her husband was sel dom at home. I fell In love with he.- and I wanted to marry her. I still do." Speaking perfect English, the 26-year-oKl Messerschmitt pilot said that he and Mrs. Rogers de cided to run away to Washing ton last Tuesday night after a party at the plantation home. He is six feet tall, brown hair ed, must.iched and extremely handsome. The Luftwaffe pilot lost a round with a P-38 Lightning In Italy in September, 1943. He bailed out behind the American lines and had been a prisoner since that time. While in Nashville, Mrs. Rogers who Is 37 years old and very pretty and the German flier stopped at a motor court. The $10 they had when they started out had dwindled to $3. so Mrs. Rogers pawned her watch for $5 in order to buy food. She then telegraphed relatives in Roscdale for more money. Von der Aue was first token to a local guardhouse and later he and Provost Marshal R. M. Fnlkcnstcine departed for Camp McCain, Miss. Falkensteine said von der Aue's punishment likely would l Let Ui Help You I BUY A I I HOME !

S'ark, former chief of naval operations, con eluded a five-day defense of his pre-Pearl Harbor record late to day with testimony that his war time assignment in Europe call ed for "superior judgment." Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal ruled last August after the war in Europe had ended that Stark should be barred from future assignments requiring "superior judgment 1 because of "faults of omission" before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. Stark gave his defense before the congressional Pearl Harbor Investigating committee. When he finished, the com mittee recessed until Jan. 15 to allow its new chief counsel Seth W. Richardson, to familiar ize himself with the inquiry Adm. Husband E. Kimmel, Paci fic fleet commander at the time of Pearl Harbor, will be the next witness, and Lt. Gen. Walter C Short, then Hawaiian army commander, will follow. - Stark was questioned about his assignment as wartime com mander of U. S. naval forces in Europe by Sen. Scott W. Lucas, D., 111., and Rep. Frank B. Keefe, R.. Wise. He was assign ed to that post after he was re lieved as chief of naval opera tions in March, 1942. Asked if the European assign ment called for the exercise of "superior judgment," Stark re plied that he thought it did. He testified that he first learned of Forrestal'r ruling from the press last August. Earlier Stark told the commit tee that the late President Roose velt had cautioned the navy be fore Pearl Harbor not to en courage British hopes for Ameri can participation in the war against the axis. He also em phasized 'hat conversations with the British and Dutch did not commit the United States to war against Japan.

Telephone 4433 F May Give Key to Human Growth, Longevity Army Assists Los Angeles, Jan. 5 (U.R) Three University of California bacteriologists revealed today they have developed a . new technique of assaying foodstuffs which may provide the key to human growth, reproduction and longevity. Merril N. Camien and Drs. A. J. Salle and Max S. Dunn dis closed that for two years they have been experimenting with the assaying of foods by use of micro-organisms to determine presence, source and proportion of the amino acids necessary to proper human performance. The new development was kept "under wraps" until today because much of the work was done in developing and testing new army rations. Quartermast er corps assignments still occupy much of the scientists' time. According to Camien, the process involves: 1. Finding the optimal syn thetic medium on which lacto bacilli (bacillus producing lactic acid) will grow, and by elimina tion discovering which amino acids are needed to support growth and in what proportions. 2. Adding a lactobacilli cul ture on an agar slide to a volume of the mediuo under sterile conditions. In the first test tube, all the 19 amino acids except the one being tested will be present. Then in succeeding tubs, varying proportions of the amino will be added and the growth of the organism watched in each. 3. Plotting the growth of the organism, the amount of amino acid produced by it from each mixture, and forming a "stand ard curve" index of it. 4. Carrying out much the same process on liquid foodstuffs to determine the amount of acid produced per gram of food and the proficiency or deficiency of that protein, helping determine how quickly the body can pro duce the acids.

Rescue crews still were dig ging for more bodies buried in the wreckage of hundreds of homes over a vast area of east central Texas. Palestine, Nacogdoches and Lufkin were the three hardest hit areas. Reports from the three fixed the number of injured at upwards of 150. The raging winds killed 13 in the Palestine vicinity, six at Nacogdoches, three at Lufkin and one in the little Shiloh-St. Paul settlement of Leon county. Both the death toll and the number of injured were expect ed to climb when ripped-out telephone and telegraph lines are restored, permitting a full sur vey of the storm area. Bill Laurie, owner of radio station KNET at Palestine, said an aerial view of the wind whip ped region showed damage far more extensive than had been expected on the basis of earlier reports. "It is difficult to believe that damage could be spread over so wide an area," he said. It was impossible to secure a reasonable estimate of the over all property damage done by the tornadoes. The twisters struck in the heart of a rich timber country and foresters set damage in Angelina county (Lufkin) alone at upwards of $300,000. Timber damage in Nacogdoches county was fixed tentatively at $250,-000. NzTHE GREAT" DODGE L. C. TAYLOR CO.
