Statesmen In Europe Will Talk Unity PARIS. Aug. I vTl- Leading statesmen of western Europe will assemble at Strasbourg Monday to consider proposals designed to give concrete expression to the centuries old dream of European unity. This inaugural session of the council of Europe will give its atten tion to practical problems having to do with public works, patents and social security. One major proposal expected to be considered calls for the creation of an International European passport. It is the hope of many of western Europe i leaders that the decisions taken will constitute a suable ad vance toward a distant goala real United States of Europe similar to America a federal system of govern ment. American dollars already have broken the ground for the building of continental unity. For more than a year the organization for European economic cooperation iOEECi, an administrative agency of the Mar shall plan, has been making prac tical decision In Its it member areas. As yet no contact has been made between the OEEC and the council of Europe. This may be done after the council gets organized next week. Members of the council of Europe are: Britain, France, Belgium, Den mark, Ireland. Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands. Norway and Sweden. Oreece and Turkey will be admitted soon.

That's how lucky I am today. I've got a chance to take a free ride to Mars I Each day I get all aorta of odd Invitations. On day somebody wants men to go over to the Waldorf-Astorta to attend a corktall party for a new trac tor. Another day an opportunity comes to be a judge In a con test to "pick the most beautiful pigeon in Amer ica " It turned out to be a complete waste Hal ttoyl of time all the pigeons had feathers. But this ts the first time any body ever offered me a hitch-hike ride to Mars. I would be suspicious thst somebody was Just pulling my leg except tor one thing the man who made the offer said he had al ready been there himself. So It must be the 34-karat McCoy. The Invitation came In a letter from a gentleman In Missouri, and his first name Isn't Hsrry. "I have just come back from Hiroshima Marks Date Of Bombing HIROSHIMA. Japan. Aug. .-P. The fourth anniversary of the first atom bombing was observed today with stuttered Hiroshimas 30-year plan to make Itself a model city for peaceful community living Mayor Shinto Hamai told the city a eurvtvors details of the plan alter bells in the "peace tower" pealed in memory of the 71.000 who died In the blast.

' V 12:30 P. M a THE LITTLE ORPHAN WATER WIZARDS NEWS Mars, and I had a wonderful trip," he wrote. He explained he wanted me to accompany him on hia sec ond trip, because he wished the people of earth to have a word pic ture of lite on Mara. He said that aa a professional writer I would be able to do this better than he. The voyage certainly sounded at tractive as he outlined It. "We will be gone only a few days he wrote, "for the simple reason that our rocket ship begins ta gain speed as soon as It leaves the at mosphere, and we travel about as fast as light. Efficient rilot "The only hasardous part' of this trip would be In landing when we get there However, our pilot Is so efficient that, when we strike the atmosphere of Mnra. he can sail round the planet three or four times until our sored Is slow enough to make a smooth landing. What Is Mars like? Here's what the man says: "I'll not in much Into the details of the conditions that I found there, because It was more wonderful than mv vocabulary la capable of telling you. "The planet revolves as ours does, but in place of hsvlng a magnetic pole, it also revolves north to south, whlrh makes the temperature uni form the year round. "There are no seasons. It is all Just one glorious temperature. Thev have no pests, such aa files and fleas. "The food grows on trees. They have tnnrrsprmg mattresses grow ing on bushes. There Is no rain ex cept Just aa the sun comes up In the morning. "There Is no work to be done. Everything that man desires is right there at his hand. The springs that cornea out of the little hills, whlrh they call mountains, have a flavor with an intoxicating effect." Well, at first I (rlt tempted to go. But I derided It would put too great a strain on my honesty. If I got to Mara and found food growing on the trees and Joy Juice bubbling out of the rocks. I wouldn't want to come back and advertise the piece. Thet'd empty California overnight, depopulate Texas and crowd Mars. No. If Mars was like that I d stske me out a claim and throw rocka at anybody else that tried to land. BUSINESS i. -.-.( tl V mx suss- ) sa "3 itrL .J , m. l - .- -J.. .I.1.
