JOHN B. MILLER DIED HERE
THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK
; Wshington.—The first nation-
jwide survey of educators on com-
! pulsory military training sliow-
jed the pre-dominant belief that
|there should be a “preparedness
!program” after the war.
The survey was conducted by
' the National Education Associa-
| tion. Questionnaires were sent
! to school superintendents in all
{communities having a popula-
tion of more than 2,500. About
one-third replied.
The questionnaire was not con-
fined to a flat-yes-or no on
whether there should be enforc-
ed military training. In their
replies the educators indorsed
these paralleling propositions:
(The percentage which gave
their approval in each instance
is noted.)
There should be a more exten-
sive preparedness program after
the war than in prewar years.
(85 per cent.)
The postwar training program
should be a combination of sev-
eral types of education including
such branches as military, camp-
ing, national service on useful
public projects, etc. (48.)
America should decide after
the war, and not now, whether it
should have military training
(61.)
If there is national service it
should apply to boys only. (61.)
If there should be extensive
camping programs, they should
be provided for both boys and
girls. (76.)

London—Prime Minister Chur-
chill, refusing to budge from the
official Anglo-American stand
on two of the war’s most contro-
versial discussion points, told the
house of commons Tuesday of
this week, that the objectives of
the Atlantic charter remained
valid and that “the war will be
prolonged until unconditional
surrender has been obtained.”
Churchill said he was in com-
plete agreement with President
Roosevelt’s views on the Atlan-
tic. charter, and said that while
the objectives now were just the
same as in 1941, all of them
could not be achieved immed-
iately.
Pressed by members as to what
parts of the charter were “valid
immediately,” the prime minis-
ter snapped badk:
“I really do not think there is
any need to go into that. It has
been very well described by the
president as a standard of aims—
an indication of the direction* in
which we are proceeding. It is
not a law.”
In reply to a suggestion that
the allied demand for an uncon-
ditional surrender had a “ten-
dency to stiffen the people of
Germany behind their leaders
and prolonge the war,” the pug-
nacious prime minister replied:
“No sir, we don’t take that
view at all. I tihnk the house
would be overwhelmingly against
our attempting to make peace by
negotiation. At any rate our al-
lies would be overwhelmingly op-
posed to such a course. I am
not of the opinion that the de-
mand for unconditional surrend-
er is prolonging The war.
“In any event the war will be
prolonged until unconditional
surrender has been obtained.”
The prime minister spoke ex-
temporaneously, but plans a full
report on the, war and the Greek
situation Thursday or Friday.

ROBERT J. HOLLOWAY
• SENTENCED TO DIE

One of the most interesting j
talks made before the Rotary j
Club, was that of Lieut. Phil j
Shaver, who has just [returned j
home to Waco for a thirty days jSmniSe 011 -February 23 for the
Robert J. Holloway, negro,
must die in the electric chair at
Huntsville penitentiary before
leave. Lieut. Shaver spent over
a year with the U. S. Navy over-
seas. He gave some of his ex-
periences while sailing the Paci-
fic; also told of some of the is-
lands visited which included
Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan and
Tinian.
The Lieutenant said, in his op-
inion, the navy was the biggest
thing in the world, and thou-
sands of Uncle Sam’s ships were
murder of AY. II. Braswell, cafe
owner of McGregor.
This was the date set by Judge
|D. AY. Bartlett in Fifty-fourth
district court last Saturday when
Holloway was brought before him
for sentence.
When Judge Bartlett asked
Holloway if he had anything to
say, Holloway appealed to him
to “spare my life-” Judge Bart-;
