We didn't even get to see Uie sea. But throughout New Year's Day, 1948, we were at sea In Medford, Oregon, about uie w9r'7wa:'t Navy's plans for getting us to sea j on that long - anticipated puouc relations destroyer Junket which was scheduled to leave San Diego New Year's Night. This little story Is of no particu lar Importance but may be Inter esting to the many "well-wishers" who spent the last week of Uie year telling Hank Semon and me about seasickness and other things we might expect on an eight-day destroyer Jaunt from San Diego to Bremerton. nur instructions were to go to Medford airpott by noon New Year's Day, where we would be picked up by a Navy Air Transport plane and taken to San Diego for the sea take-off. tWhy Medford, when there is a perfectly good airport at Klamath Falls, which was long owned and operated by the Navy, Is Just one of those things that only a lot of unwinding of red tape would explain. We can't.) THE plane that was to collect us at Medford was to leave Seattle New Year's Morning, pick up several of the party at Portland, us at Medford, and others at San Francisco, on the way down the coast. Here is our chronological log for the day: 11:30 a. m. Arrive at Medford airport. Ask United Air Lines desk who would know about navy planes coming in. ton scratches head, suggests CAA office where flight plans would be filed. Man at CAA office scratches head, suddenly recalls he heard some thing about a message for a "Mr. Semon" at the army communications office In another airport building. Man at army communications office says yes. he has message, plane won't be In until 4 p. m.. presumably because weather prevented Seattle take-off. We tell him we'll keep In touch by telephone, go back down town and end up as "squatters- in the living room of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Bosworth, ex-Klamathites, who offer us good company, a Rose Bowl game radio, and other pleasantries for the vigiL 1:30 p. m. Man at army communications office reports his "interphone" is out of order, and to call him later. 2:30 p. m. Army communications man says Inter phone still out of order. 3:00 p. m. Army communications man sas's he got call through, learns plane will not be in until 6 p.m. 3:02 p. m. Army communications man calls again, says it should have been 8 p. m. Plane leaving Seattle 6 p.m. 3:10 p. m. Wife calls from Klamath Falls, says telegram arrived for us there, saying plane would be in Medford at 8 p. m. 4:00 p. m. Being reasonably certain everything now , set, send sons with car back to Klamath Falls. 4:10 p. m. Wife calls from Klamath Falls, saying long distance call to Mrs. Semon from Seattle reports whole trip Is cancelled. 4:15 p. m. Army communications man says he'll try to confirm by call to Seattle. - 4:30 p. m. Army man says yes, Seattle plane trip cancelled, but he hears plane to be sent to Medford from Moffatt field (SJM to pick us up. We ask how we ll know for sure, he says presumably Moffatt plane would file flight plan, presumably any navy flight plan filed would mean plane coming to pick us up. We're a bit dubious, but sit down to wait. 5:30 p. m. Army man says no flight plan or word about a Moffatt plane. 6 P. M. We place long distance call to navy at Seattle. 6:10 p. m. Telephone operator says can't get hold of navy officer we called at Seattle. We tell her story, ask her to get hold of somebody who knows. 6:15 p. m. Telephone gal calls, says she talked to navy office at Seattle, that a Commander Stampley said the NATS plane left there as scheduled at noon; but a Commander Creighton might know more about it. We suggested she try get Commander Creighton. 6:20 p. m. Operator reports Commander Creighton's line busy. 6:25 p. m. Operator says she again talked with Seattle, thought best connect tut with Commander Stampley. 6:30 p. m. Operator reports Commander Stampley 'a line busy. ;35 p. m. Commander Stampley on line, says very sorry, didn't kuow himself until Just now when he talked with Commander Creighton, that the plane hadn't taken off. But it hadn't because of Icing conditions, and after several tries throughout day, the trip was finally given up. That meant the whole tiling was cancelled, with Uie Navy's apologies. Wt say okch with us, glad no dangerous flights at tempted, Just wanted to know. 10:20 p. m. Catch bus for Klamath Falls, which took us over the mountains through snowstorm with no trouble. 1:00 a. ni., Jan. 2 Arrive Klamath Falls, call son out of bed and make him bring car down to take Mr. Semon home to Henley. Chain cross-link breaks on way to Henley, we wire It to side-link In Semap's back yard, another chain cross-link breaks on way In, whole chain falls off trying to get up our hill. We abandon car, wade through deep snow, stagger Into house we dldnt expect to see for eight days, fall Into bed at 3 a. m. These Days By GEORGE SOKOLSKY Lies! Lies! Lies! THE following is as much of an arUcle printed in the"Tagltche Rundschau." published in Berlin on October 15, 1947, as I have space for In this column. The article speaks for Itself and It ought to speak out loud to Americans'. "The Youth of Two Worlds "Young man, 20, healthy and robust, seeking any kind of position. Any offer accepted." " Discharged soldier, 23, completed high school edu cation, read)- to accept any kind of work, even that of workshop apprentice.' " 'Olrl. 21, single, capable in accomplishing any kind of work, seeks occupation no matter what kind." "The American newspapers are Jammed with such ads. They can be seen on many gates, exposed on poster-columns and on placards carried through Uie streets of all towns of the United States by numbers of weary and prostrate young people. ' The doors of Uie factories. In front of which crowds of unemployed are gathered continuously, among whom are many Juveniles, bear big posters with the concise words: 'No employment.' "There Is no work, no means of existence. How to find only a way to start, how carry on to make a liv ing, how build a future? These are Uie questions which steadily torment Uie youth in the countries of capitalism. 1 1 N its very substance, the capitalistic system is ex I clusively concerned with the Interests of a small group of society. A group of people who, holding In their hands all Uie capital and means of production, live through the exploltaUon of the great majority of Uie population. This privileged class have plenty to eat, dress well, live In nice, comfortable homes and are dominated by an ever growing greed for profit. They are surrounded by faithful servants sitting In Uie state department, always ready to please their masters for a small and modest aim. Faithful and devoted to Uie bourgeoisie, they keep careful watch on their wealth and welfare. They are their pliant tools and assist them In fattening their purses.

Every where they can be seen, In the streetcars, In the sub ways. In the railroad stations all over the Union. In all factories, all construction plants throughout the country, there Is need for labor hands, engineers, technicians and employees. Working power is scarce, and therefore there is a widely expanded net of schools and InsUtutes for the education and training of specialists In all branches and all grades of activ ity .. . 1 1 THERE are, in the Soviet Union, over 800 unl- versitles, filled with hundreds of thousands of boy and girl students.

Nineteen years ago I was a copy boy. too In Uie primeval days when copy boys were really boys and ci.ultl aplt between llirlr Ircth and the llMllrk era In the city room hadn't even dawned. It was to read Leo Tolstoi's "War and Peace" clear through without fudging. It waa tills resolution Uiat started me chewing my fingernails. It may not sound like much of a resolution to you, but "War and Peace" has turned me Into a hideous hypocrite and put callnusea on my conscience thicker than the barnaclrs on Noah's ark. Always Failed For nineteen atralght years I have made Uita aame resolution and failed to keep It, Bo tills year I am going lo reverse the field and say flatly that I never Intend to read "War and Peace." I am done for ever with Tolstoi and hla long winded epic, and I don't ear If I never find how the story comra out. My long struggle with the book began after a high school English teacher mentioned offhand II was undoubtedly the greatest novel ever '. written.

But It has more characters with difficult names than the Moscow phone di rectory and It Is almost as long as "Anthony Adverse" and "Gone Wltn the Wind" put together.
