NAZI ATROCITIES
The motion pictures of German atrocities,
shown under sponsorship of The News to a
group of newspapermen of North central
and Northeast Texas Monday, did not fail to
carry conviction to those who saw them, it
were those present who still needed to
be convinced. They were official Army pic-
tures1 they included a sufficient number ot
prison and concentration camps to constitute
proof ow widespread practice, and horrible-
ness of the atrocity practices was patent on
the face of the pictures. But the screen did
not—could not—tell the whole story, accord-
ing to the calm, precise statement of Lt. Gen.
Walton H. Walker, who witnessed some of
these camps and hid a large hand in bring-
ing them to the attention of the world
through action of General Eisenhower.
Those who can remember World War I will
recall the crest-to-trough descent of public
feeling of horror for, and condemnation of,
the atrocities of that conflict. The memory of
this reaction is being used in an argument
against validity of the present niJmce.
There are two things that the public * old
keep in mind. The first is that General Per-
shing’s desire to march on to Berlin at the
eftd of the last war was denied. The Germans
had a better opportunity to cover up evidence
pf whatever atrocities may have been com-
mitted than they hal at the end of this war.
(The second and more important thing is that,
even though the stories of German atrocities
may have been exaggerated after World
War I, the fact should destract in no way
from the present-day evidence. In all of its
aspects, the Germany of Fuehrer Hitler has
l)een vastly more atrocious than the Germany
of Kaiser Wilhelm.
And the argument that the German people j
should not be condemned eternal-y can be an-
swered by saying that this is right. There is
no reason why the German people ,i hould not
eventually take their place among those of
the world and contribute as constructively as
any to future world progress. But, because of
a combination of circumstances and influen-
te5r~Germany has progressively, beginning
with the era of Bismarck, settled into the
grip of a national philosophy that will make
them a dangerous people until they are re-
lesised from it.
The Hitler regime, teaching its youth to
goosestep to the chant, “How beautiful is
iron! How beautiful is steel!” represented the
new high peak of this peculiar type of fanat-
icism, Eliminating it. from the German nat-
ional mentality as a safeguard for the future
peace of the world is a problem confronting
the democratic nations which is unpreceden-
ted. It will require the utmost in cooperation
among the nations in wisdom and, above ali,
in keeping alive a memory of what German
national concepts have cost the world in blood
—Dallas News.
Independence
Arkansas and Mississippi both can
have splendid public schools without
accepting financial aid from any-
1 where. I am prepared to prove this
| statement with figures I presented
j early in May to the Education Com-
j mittee of the House cl Represenia-
[ tives in Washington. Moreover, if
these states can do well without
help, any of the other states can dp
! likewise. Federal aid is not needed
| anywhere.
1 have singled out Arkansas and
j Mississippi for good reason It has
I bearing on the subject in hand,
j Measured by a money standard.
! these two states are lowest on the
educational roster. Only one stale
has less income per person than Ar-
kansas, provides less school money
per student and pays its teachers
less; that's Mississippi. These are
our two low states in the respects
named.
There is a Reason
Poor as these two states are on a
basis of income per capita, each of
them has more net worth than the
federal government. Our national
debt probably will reach 300 billion
dollars before the war is over.
Mississippi had a cash surplus cf
11 million dollars last year and
Arkansas accumulated 45 million
during recent years. Arkansas
schools are inadequate, due to poli-
tics, not poverty.
What the school system in my
home state needs is re-organizing,
not subsidizing. For example; About
a year ago there were 106 school
districts with assessed valuations
below $1Q,000. Some districts could
not raise $100 a year from local
taxes. School districts varied in size
from one square mile to 100 square
miles.
Why Squander Money?
There is one community in Arkan-
sas which, although it has only 35
students all-told, is made up of six
school districts and thus uses six
busses to take the 35 students to
school and back each day. Trans-
portation costs $600 a month when
one bus might easily do the whole
job at a cost of $150 a month. The
saving of $450 would pay three
teachers at the prevailing Arkansas
scale.
The problem is local and political.
More money for such an inefficient
operation probably would tend to ag-
gravate a bad situation and make it
even harder to remedy. The feder-
al government spent $80,000 for a
WPA survey of Arkansas schools in
1937 and the analysis showed that
the state could have a good school
system for an outlay of 17 million
dollars a year. The outlay was
made promptly.
Taxpayers Respond
Arkansas’ income per person has
more than doubled since 1939, due to
| new industries and new discoveries
of oil and bauxite. More than 2ft
million dollars were spent for edu
cation in Arkansas last year, and a
recent legislature raised that figure
considerably for the next biennium
Already about 25% more money is
being spent on Arkansas schools
than the government-supported sur-
vey called adequate in 1937.
This however is not enough. Ar-
kansas should have better schools;
better financed. Arkansas teachers
should be better paid, probably the
salary scale ought to be doubled. I'm
for it when the system is re-organ
ized and made efficient, but 1 op-
pose federal aid. Easy money would
sacrifice state sovereignty on the al-
tar of politics when we are able,
really, to increase our school reve-
nue as soon and as fast as condi-
tions justify.

Q. If a veteran goes AWOL from
a Veterans Administration
Hospital or leaves it against
medical advice, will he be
barred from readmission to
the hospital?
A. He will be barred from re-
admission for a period of
three months for the first
infraction and six months
for two or more infractions.
However, in case a medical
emergency he may be hos-
pitalized notwithstanding the
uncleared inlractions of dis-
cipline, but will be discharg-
ed on termination of the
emergency.
Q. Is Out-patient treatment
furnished for veterans for
non-service disabilities.
A. Out patient treatment is fur-
nished only for the treatment
ment of service
disabilities.

WORKING ON THE RAILROADS
Chugging- through Kansas City’s streets
! lately has been a miniature seven-unit train,
assimbled and operated to dramatize the
nesd for more workers for America’s over-
loaded rail lines. The Railroad Retirement
Board .is sponsoring a two month campaign
tr recruit new employees. Sixty-five thous-
and additional workers are needed west of
the Mississippi if the railroads are to per-
form promptly and adequately their part in
wining the war against Japan.
"with their freight and passenger loads at
new peaks, the nation’s railroads have been
doing an almost miraculous job. They have
been handicapped by inability to get their
orders filled for new equipment and by loss
Sf many of their experienced personnel, to
he armed services. TMHiftjH'acket for tT
recruits now sought extends from 16 to 55
for inexperienced applicants, but men past
60 will be taken if they have had railroad
experience.
The railroads offer steady work that will
continue after the war and that has liberal
retirement provisions. No matter what gains
may be made by avaition and other forms of
transportation and travel, the railroads are
in a secure and relatively stable business
after the war. They offer a wide variety of
opportunities for the returning veteran or

nent job with reasonable hope for promotion

same special care well may be
used in the handling of every-

according to Mrs. Bernice Clay-
tor .specialist in home impreve-
ment. for the A. and M. Col-
lege Extension Service. One of
the first rules suggested is care- j
ful. efficient stacking, washing]
and storing of dishes, as hur- j
ried dishwashing is one of the]
chief causes of breakage.
Washing just a few dishes at!

lessens breakage. A pad or fold- j
ed dish cloth in the bottom of j
the aishpan and under the rack;
or on the drain board also saves j
the dishes. Harsh scouring j
powders, steel wool, or metal j
cleaners should be avoided. The j
use of strong soaps, amonia orj
washing soda is hard on metal i
trim, and scraping dishes with
a metal utensil often scars the
surface. A rubber scraper or
even a piece of paper is pref-
erable for this purpose. Stack-
ing in neat piles according to
size, when dished are scraped,
helps aboid breakage often re-j
