Who's News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated r««ture».—WNU Btl**—. XTEW YORK.—In the drum beat of bombs exploding on Berlin, Dr. Jan Maarten de Moor, newly appointed Dutch representative on the United Wants Extradition Nations Of War Criminalt Commission Condition of Peace f g °£ t War Crimes, states: "The favorable trend in the war situation makes it more imperative for the commis sion to start functioning properly." In other words. Hitler and his pals may expect a summons any day now. The sturdy 47-year-old Dutch man is determined that one mis take made after the last war will not be repeated. The extradi tion of war criminals must be made a condition of surrender now. The commission, be be lieves, must work through the national courts of the Allied na tions. Dr. De Moor escaped to England Immediately after the German in vasion of the low countries. In Lon don he has served as president of the Netherlands Navigation council and also of the Netherlands Mari time court. A sound experience in law fits him for these responsibili ties. After receiving his degree from the Municipal University of Amsterdam in 1918, he went on to become Doctor of Political Science in 1923. In 1928 he was appointed Judge of the Almelo court; in 1934, judge of the Rotterdam high court; and then in 1939 he was elected vice president of the Netherlands Law society. He is Rotterdam-born, which must make his appointment to the War Crimes Investigation group grimly satisfying. —• U'CHOES seven years old but still pretty plain drift around as that swagger little admiral, Zengo Yo shida, moves into Japan's Supreme A J « I V 1.-J War COUnCiL Admiral Yothida From his la Finally Singing lofty perch Tn..,.,h. Pitch KS his level best to lick the tar out of the United States, and it is this im minent effort which stirs up the old echoes. Seven years ago the admiral sailed some pointedly rattletrap warships along our coasts and everywhere he anchored he wid ened his brown eyes at repor torial mutterings about Japan's expansion in the Pacific. Purely commercial, no more! Military? The very idea! Naval? With old tubs like these two? Why, that is unthinkable. The training squadron he com manded amounted to only two ves sels, one as old as the Russo-Japa nese war, and he made it clear he would have been happier with even less. Because Japan had no im perial ambitions. The Philippines? She hadn't even a symptom of an interest in the Philippines. This was the song he sang, sweet and low, at a luncheon of the Japan Society in New York city while his officers and erews rambled innocently around taking pictures. He was a good looking singer. He had a strong, agreeable face, a good chin, fine ly etched lips, and his clothes helped. His starched whites would have stood alone. And his gaze was beautifully candid as he told how happy he felt in friendly, hospitable America. Even a suspicious onlooker would have sworn Pearl Harbor never had entered the little cagey coot's head. —• T EGENDARY cities of Europe •*- J crumble, but in Brazil Joao Al berto Lins Bandiera de Barros prom ises a new civilization.

B , napp y lowlands and high plateaus) he plans a virgin city and says there will be enough more to open all the rich state to the peo ple of the world. In Brazil everyone calls Lins Barros "Joao Alberto," as an earlier generation of North Americans once said "Teddy." And the record of tall, eagle beaked Joao Alberto is not un like that of the chunky first Roosevelt. A passion for ex ploration and adventure marks both. Today Joao Alberto is co-ordina tor of economic mobilization and aft er Getulio Vargas the strongest man in Brazil. But he began as the obscure son of an obscure lawyer in Olinda from where he went to the Poly technical Institute at Pernambuco and was graduated an engineering geogra pher. Shortly after that he went into the army, made the historic march with the Prestes column through the interior of Brazil and thereafter moved into the revolution of 1930 which put Vargas in power. For Vargas he put down the Sao Paulo uprising and the two have climbed side by side through the years. Joao Alberto is just 44 years old, lively, dashing, and friendly. THE DANBURY REPORTER. PANBURY, N.

They wear the star marked caps of their organization. Right: She doesn't look it, but this young woman has the reputation of being an outstanding sniper and anti-Nazi saboteur.

Sea Ceremony for Dead Marines r'wi'w iL \Z^?£l332il9^K3l[2£S a 1 1 \ I H3SS Flag-draped caskets of three U. S. marines who died at Tarawa rest on a hatch aboard a transport as a burial service is conducted. Comrades of the dead stand by with bowed heads. Marines were assigned to take Tarawa island because it was known to be the most heavily fortified of the Gilbert group. Marine losses after 76 hours of fighting on Tarawa approximately equalled losses on Guadalcanal after six months. Military Hitchhiking in Middle East Hitchhiking is now organised on a military basis in the Middle East. A group ef hikers is pictured at a "bus stop" In Cairo near the Sues canal. These shelters have been built at points on the main road traflle routes in tbt desert and here servicemen may rest until they find a military vehkH going their way. Xmas a Year Late ■■ * B|^ Those cards and packages were mailed to reach Private P. C. Han lon for Christmas, 1942. But they didn't catch up with this fast moving marine until a year later. He was on Guadalcanal when they were mailed. But when they arrived he had left. Dog Hikes 470 Miles Hr jfT From Norfolk, Va., to Patehogne, N. Y.—470 miles—that's the walk "Pete," this Pomeranian, took to find his mistress, Barbara Ann Stand, IS, of Norfolk. She was visiting Patchogue but when Pete found tb» right house, she had left. Contrasts in the News: The silver-lining tribe is whoop | ing that everything is peaches and cream. They oppose an increase in manpower for the armed forces. | Although every fact debunks them they convey the impression thai Americans should start ripping phone books—so they'll have enough confetti to flip at victory parades in a "few weeks" . . . Meanwhile, the Japs are being pushed around in the Pacific. But it's far from a push over. From Tarawa came a dose of grim news that froze the facial mus cles: About 3,000 marines spear headed the initial assault on that is land, but only a few hundred es caped death or injury. A group of senators are giving our genuine Good Neighbors a coat ing of mud. We refer to the nations that declared war against Ameri ca's enemies and have done every thing in their power to aid us. Friendly relations between Uncle Sam and most of his neighbors have been a shining light in a darkened word . . . However, these sena tors have been mum when it comes to a neighbor that has been running errands for our enemies and aiding the Axis to kill American soldiers and sailors. They look the other way when it comes to doing some thing about pro-Nazi Argentina. Much space has been devoted to sob stories about the suffering of Berliners. They come from neutral sources. Indeed, the bombing of any city isn't a picnic. But the Nazis asked for it by starting the war and gloating about the cities they massacred. The Nazis gave others a taste of total war. Now they're getting it. All war is brutal . . . Buried in every report of raids on Berlin are figures about the planes lost by the Allies. Let's give our sympathy to the families of the brave fliers who are giving their lives to end a war they never wanted. There has been an avalanche of postwar plans. All have one ideal in common: Fascism must be wiped out and never allowed to crawl again. They know that Fascists in Germany and elsewhere represent great dangers to America's security ... At the same time many of those idealists can look you straight in the eye and insist that we must not deprive Fascist? in America of their civil liberties. Although they know Fascists here only use free dom to help them spout their poison. The army, navy and marines sre composed of different races, creeds, religions and political beliefs. The United Nations also have many of the same differences. But they are strongly united, fighting and dying together. Their unified strength is i winning the war . . . But political differences in Washington are hin dering the war. And in too many , American cities people of different \ races and religions will not get along with each other. Although they are ' far from the battlefields and are forced to make fewer sacrifices than any fighting man of the United Na tions—they can't match the patri otism or unity of men in uniform. Congress is now orally juggling a laudable bill: To provide economic security for demobilized soldiers. That deserves every American's support ... At the same time, Congress is dynamiting the dam of rationing and price control. It holds back the flood of inflation. If un leashed, it will blast every Ameri can's economic security, including the Americans who return from the battlefronts. Berlin is being drenched with bombs. Headlines about it make thrilling reading. We hope it will force the German-vermin to throw in the brownshirt. But wars can't be won by wishful thinking as some of our editorialists seem to be do ing .. . For contrast we offer a headline from Hitler's newspaper al a time when London was being blitzed by the Luftwaffe: "London Bombed Again, British Soon to Sur render." The Magazines: Wendell Willkie is getting sick of that empty phrase, too—that "free enterprise" echo. It his Look piece, Mr. W. offered thii squelcher: "Some of the talk w hear about 'free enterprise' or 'pri vate enterprise' is just propagandi on the part of powerful groups whc have not practiced real enterprise ii a generation and have no intentior of doing so" . . . H. F. Armstronj nutshells our war aims in Foreigi Affairs: "Our aim in this war b the defeat of our enemies and perma nent victory over their minds." Never In the history of the worM has there been more reason to hop for permanent peace than today Victory isn't in the bag, but war-lov ing nations are in a rut. Diplomat! among the peace-loving countriei have made a vital down-paymen' , on a happy world . . . Only th« isolationists are trying to wrecl those plans. Only the jack-asstrichei sneer at every attempt to form i family of nations. They Insist t won't work. Yet they are the sam« people who said they loved peact and knew how to insure it.
