MO The Tragedy of Italy OTHING is easier (or more despicable) , than to kick man when he is down. It is easy, at long range, to administer a verbal kicking to the Italian people, espec ially now that their armies have taken such a literal kick- ' ing around in Albania, in Libya and in Ethiopia. , It is unjust, however, to use these failures as a blanket indictment of the Italian people, and especially to allow it to reflect on Americans of Italian descent. It is the strut ting, bombastic, truculent leadership that has fastened itself on Italy that must bear the blame. There is nothing wrong with Italians as such. Thev did all right when they were kicking Radetzky out of Milan a hundred years ago, and Garibaldi's redshirts and Mazzim s legions were the admiration of the world when they made their gallant but hopeless resistance to the Austrian. . DUT they were fighting to defend their country, fighting la for freedom.; And that makes all the difference. People who like to bring up Caporetto forget the Piave and the fact that Italy, almost knocked out, rose again and delivered a knockout blow against the Aus trians, losing 300,000 dead and-a million wounded. But again, Italian soldiers were throwing Austrian invaders out of northern Italy. They were willing to fight and to die forthat, and for the bright .dream of freedom prom ised by their allies. Since that time, Italian military exploits have not been o Diuuant.'.-. bent to the plague-ridden,.

MEjfwho served with the squad-mates of Italian origin in thflt. World. war know that such men were good men; loyal companions and brave fighters. But they were fighting for a free land, their land, to keep it'fre'e arid to make their motherland free, not for a mad imperialist dream of vanished empire. They will do it again, if need be, and do it well. . Bravery is not alone in fighting and dying when told. It is also in choosing a cause worth dying for. For tyranny the Italians are loath to die. ' '. Americans, including Americans of Italian descent, understand. Editor Supports Destroyer Plan TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 13 (UP) William Allen White, newspaper editor and former chairman of the committee to defend America by aiding -the allies, said last -flight that Wendell Willkie was idead right" in his proposal to Bend more American destroyers and bombers to Great Britain. ' "There is no question that Willkie is dead right," White said in a Lincoln day address to a Tucson republican club. "Democracy this republic cannot survive -in a world four fifths : enslaved and one-fifth free," he said.

Bridge Stands 62-Mile Gale SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13 (UP) Chief Engineer Russell Cone today said the Golden Gate bride withstood a 62-mile gale in tnls week's storm without vibration or fluttering. The center of the bridge was deflected four feet'10 inches out of line at the height of the gale Cone said, and moved back to normal imperceptibly as the winds slackened: It is built to withstand safely a lateral move ment of 30 feet. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 There was not much doubt, in the mind of any government authority here who knows Mos cow, that Krivitsky was mur dered. Nor has there existed much hope the real nature of the neat job could be exposed. An acknowledged principle of the Stalin regime holds no one can be permitted to be an "ex" secret agent. That regime con siders it an essential, unbreak able rule for the maintenance of discipline to work the destruc tion of anyone who leaves its se cret service. If a single exception were allowed to exist, the hope would always be held out to those in the toils that they too might one day successfully es cape. Murder to that end is not considered a crime of hate, but of necessity. The standard Russian way of handling such a matter as Krivit sky in a country where murder seldom goes unpunished, is to force the victim to suicide. It could have been done by threat ening harm to Krivitsky's wife and child. It could have been accomplished by a Russian agent confronting the recalcitrant in his hotel room here with a gun backed by a " persuasive argu ment. Krivitsky could have been made to understand that his life was gone and that the only way he could buy the safety of his family was by self-destruction. That some adaptation of this orthodox formula was followed in this instance is implied in Krivitsky's notes ... "I want to live so badly, but it is impos sible ..." The repeated profes sions of his love for his wife and son preclude the possibility that he could voluntarily hurt them so grievously by suicide. This affection was the dominant point of his notes, stressed as if to tell the story of his death in langu age his pursuers could not inter pret the way his wife could. The only alternative is that Krivitsky was insane, a possibil ity which is unbelievable to any who knew him. If this sounds fantastic, so are theRussians. SIDE GLANCES n".

ACCIDENT" Next on the death list is the author of a book published a few weeks ago. He exposed his ex periences in counter-espionage for both the nazis and Russians. The name signed to the book is a pseudonym, but his identity is known to the Russians as well as our authorities. The last to fall before Krivit sky in this country is recorded on the public records as a fatal automobile accident." No pub licity attached to that case be cause only those with access to the deepest files of this govern ment even know he was a former Russian agent. He had written no books. CLOSED TOPIC The shocking phase of the case to government authorities was the implied confirmation that the OGPU or the Russian Military Intelligence (Krivitsky was: in the latter service) is working on the job in this country. Not only that, but it affected its purposes so adroitly within a few blocks of the capitol of the United States. None of these convincing cir cumstantial conclusions will be expressed openly by anyone con nected with this government. You must prove what you be lieve, in diplomacy, and even so sometimes you do not mention it. To talk officially would cause in-1 By DONALD A. LAIRD, PH.D.. SCI.D. Author ol "Ineraaalnf PaoofUl lfr)laoaM THIS morning Dr. Paul Hanly Furfey did a half day's work before you or I were out of bed By getting up at 2:30 in the morning, he can work for some four hours without a single in terruption important for those doing creative, original work. His office is at the Catholic Uni versity of America, in Washing ton. Although city bred himself he spent his boyhood in Cam bridge, Mass. Dr. Furfey has made basic research studies of both farm and city boys. He is an authority on those youths of high school age who often cause their parents considerable con cern during that hectic time of change from boyhood into man hood. The changing voice is but one of a large number of physical and mental changes which mark the commencement of manhood. There are nearly 200 in all, Dr. Furfey has found. From his extensive research, he has made a key by which the "development age" of a boy can be measured to find how near he is to manhood, or how far out of boyhood. He has found that city boys become men at a younger age than do country Doys, and that in some races, boys become men earlier than in others. 1 Boys go through three distinct development age periods from ages 6 to 16. Dr. Furfey calls the period from 8 to about 10 or 11 individualistic. During this period, boys do not play group games; tney prefer 4o play make- believe, and enjoy playing with girls. The ages of about 9 to 11 mark the so-called gang age.

The third stage starts rather suddenly, and, in most instances, marks the real beginning of manhood. The youth drops his old companions abruptly and takes on new friends, sometimes to his parents' consternation. He suddenly becomes asser tive and rebels at being told what to do or how to do it. Ho may show a sudden interest in girls, although this is not a major characteristic. The sudden assertiveness and Independence often cause par ents to worry because the son seems to care llttlo for them or the home. The change is per fectly normal, however, and. as Dr. Furfey has found, it is Just one of the signs that the boy has become a man. Dr. Furfey has boyish en thusiasm for amateur photog raphy and art galleries. One of his hobbles has been the study of several rare languages, which he has mastered well. Recently he studied Chinese. largely teaching it to himself. To make each minute count, he wrote out lists of the Chinese forms and kept these beside his telephone. While he was talking over the telephone, he would study these words. In somewhat similar fashion, he has mastered Russian and several ancient Semitic languages. Dr. Furfey believes that the greatest need of the world today is a quickening of the moral life and a real brotherhood of man, with no class distinctions not even between city boys and farm boys.

Just why this was done is not known unless It was for revenge. When about 12 years old they made their escape some way and managed to get down to Port land where they met up with a man by tho name of Joe Barnes, who lived below Salem. He kept them until they were grown. They wanted to get back to their people so they left there and come to Fall Creek which is 18 miles cast of Eugene. They asked my grandfather if they could work there for their board That was in the early 60's. They stayed there until about 1867 when Sally married Charles Tufti of Fall Creek, an Indian my aunt and uncle raised. They had one little boy who at the age of four could talk four lan guages Klamath, Mollala, Jar- Jon and English my grand mother taught him. When about five he fell on a sharp stick which penetrated his throat and killed him. His mother died after that-and they both were burled at Lost Valley In Lane county. Pete got a chance to go to Pit river valley, California, with Major Dunn to help him drive his sheep down there. My grand parents received several letters from him and in one he told last twenty centuries?

What did that make of the Versailles treaty? The practice of a little Christianity by English speaking peoples would help a lot to ward abolishing war. No I'm not a German.
