Remembering that Russia is now a totalitarian despotism, your reaction to this sentiment may be a cynical one. Restrain your cynicism. Give heed to the lesson of his tory. . ,, Hold faith in the Russians. Remember that at the time of the French revolution the French people were little tanner away from serfdom than were the Russians when they over threw a czar a quarter of a cen tury ago. In the bitterness of their hatred, the French went to the same bloody excesses. But . . . The French people lived and grew and developed to become Europe's strongest bulwark of democracy and freedom of the individual. The sane, practical French people are probably our greatest hope now for a decent Europe in the critical years that lie ahead of us. Don't lose faith in the Russian people. Don't judge them by their present admittedly undem ocratic government. Give them time to grow up and blossom out. History tells us plainly that virile, hopeful peoples emerg ; mm ilnn darkness of serf dom into the light of greater freedom offer tremendous possi bilities of progress toward a bet ter world. , , , VtJm eimnlv must be nOOeful imviH Russia. Hooeful and helpful. If our hopes fail of re alization, dark days are ahead for this world. With bloody nazism reeling toward its inevitable end, we must guard against any feeling that the war is about over. The Pacific war is our real war. It isn't over yet. It won't be over until indoctrinated totali tarian Japan has been brought to the point now reached by in doctrinated totalitarian Ger many.

The 'con' racket is glorified for the young girls aim they think it's an easy way to get money. If they'd just stop nuiKiiiR this sort of thing attrac tive, tneie'd be less juvenile de linquency. 1 know. I've been judged a 'juvenile' nine times," the girl said from a cell in the county jail. No Excuses Betty June is a fluent talker. She'd rather give you the straight of it than waltz around with lecoic excuses. Going back to her home life, she said her father, mother and their three children lived in one room in Los Angeles. She was nine years old when she first ran away from home. Betty June was placed in a state reform school for vagrancy, then later was sent to the Good Shepherd convent in Los Angeles for the same reason. Later she served time in the San Luis Obispo county jail on a petit theft charge and in Eureka, Calif., county jail for vagrancy. Not "Wanted" . When District Attorney Clar ence E. Humble asked Betty June if she was "wanted" else where, she told him she didn't think so. "Somebody phoned in to Eu reka, said I was wanted for rob bery in Los Angeles and they picked me up for vagrancy and gave me 10 days, but I never hoard any more about it," she told the district attorney. She said she wasn't wanted for robbery, but that when she left Los Angeles she was work ing as a one-man operator of a city railway car and when she came to the end of the line, she simply left the car there and walked away with the one.trip receipts, approximately $9, in her .pocket. j Wore Uniform It was this motorman's uni form that Betty June was wear ing when they picked her up in Klamath Falls after Clauson had run her out of his store on Klam ath. "Would you have shot that man?" we asked her. She had already admitted having the gun loaded when she entered Clauson's place. "No, I wouldn't have shot him. I'd have shot when he first hit me if I'd intended to do that," she replied. On Complaint Betty June had one complaint to make. Otherwise she was pretty dam philosophical about being in 1he county jail. "Every place you go they take care of boys. Girls haven't a chance. There are good homes for boys, placed where they can readjust themselves. Vou don't find things for girls like that," she said. "Communities will concen trate on boys to the extent where they are prepared to take up their- life when they get out. When I was in the reform school, they didn't ask me what I could or wanted to do. For example, I don't care about sewing. Yet they forced me to make my own clothes. I would like to have worked as a nurse girl. No Individual Reform "Punishment is all right. They should punish delinquents. But they treat you as a group, not as an individual. Reform schools do not deal enough in occupa tional devices. They don't devel op talent so you can do some thing with yourself when you get out." "You can say this" she said. "Juveniles get in trouble first be cause they read so much that makes it appear attractive. Then there is too much sympathy for the juvenile, things are too easy for them, too lax. And then with a few tears, they can Ret mm EL-J ONE NIGm OF IOVE...A LIFETIME OF TORMENT!
