Preparation Against Attack Possibility . . WITH the extension of the draft period now almost a certainty, America is learning another lesson in regard to democracy and the rest of the world. Irrespective of our like or dislike of the extension step, we are being ;orced to realize that even across the oceans, we can't live alone and like it. Despite our natural inclinations, we must modify our way of life to keep up with the forces of totalitarianism, even at the expense of our own personal comfort. When conscription was voted in, the people of the United States thought they were making the supreme sacrifice, for compulsory military service had never been a part of this govern- ment's policy. There were many protests then because some of the people believed that we're different over here, and in a uniqe position of safety which made compulsory military training merely an added burden for the youth of Amer. ica to bear. ~ ND NOW, with ;the period of training to be lengthened, the sanie protests are being raised again. The accusation has been made that this is just a preface to war, that our sol- diers need more training to prepare them for the war the United States is going to enter shortly. Certainly this possibility cannot be snuffed off lightly. There is always the chance ,that the brass hats will be over-anxious to test out their {theories in actual warfare, and thus precipitate A situation from which war would be inevitable. But there is another side to' the matter, too. We must recognize the possibility that we may be attacked through no direct fault of our own. The probabilities of such an attack are remote, but nevertheless, they remain possible. And while they remain possible, we must be prepared to meet that attack. At present, if we ever were Attacked, it would not be by a raw conscript army, but rather one seasoned with the toughest sort of experience and well versed in all the tricks of the trade that are best learned under actual battle conditions. ELEASING million men from the army at one time, just because they have served a year, will create a tangle that will not aid the mili- tary situation in any way whatsoever. Men must be held in service until they are suffi-. ciently trained to have a fighting chance should actual war come. Naturally, there is the other side also, that if some arbitrary period is nt set, the "training" period could well extend for years, since every year's activities adds to the knowledge that a trainee should have to be a finished soldier. Along this line, Senator Taft's compromise measure for the gradual release of selectees after a period of about 18 months training is as good as any that can be suggested. Instead of a flood of men entering and leaving the army each year, we would have a steady flow, but under control, so that a balance is preserved. TN any draft extension, we are taking a risk. We are aware that large armies are danger- ous, for soldiers without action grow stale, and the militarists are in constant fear of that. We risk a plunge into war because some people will feel that with a well trained army, we can beat anybody. We risk an attitude of over-confidence, a military dictatorship. But if we aren't willing to risk that, we have an even greater risk to WASHINGTON-Secretary Stimson was tell- ing the absolute truth when hd-denied that the discovery of a time-bomb was responsible for keeping ten Japanese ships out of the Panama Canal. For this was not the reason. Real reason why the Carnal was barred to the Japanese was the discovery that two of their ships were floating bazaars being rushed to the east coast of South America to grab off the trade which Axis operators were forced to aban- don as a result of the U.S. blacklist. APPARENTLY the Japs had a tip that the blacklist was going to be issued, because the two ships hastily left the west coast and were waiting to go through the Canal, when suddenly the blacklist was published. Equipped with elaborate merchandizing displays, and carrying high-powered, Spanish-speaking salesmen, the ships were literal arsenals of economic warfare. With them, the Japanese would have invaded the most lucrative rarkets in Latin America be- fore either the U.S. or the Latin Americans could have moved to block them. Women's Tax Rights Representative Frank ("Doc' Crowther 01 New York, high-ranking GOP member of the House Ways and Means Committee, occupied the center of the stage when House Republicans caucused behind closed doors on the $3,500,- 000,000 defense tax bill. However, it was Mrs. Frances P. Bolton, Ohio's charming wid6w legislator, who stole the show with a firebrand lecture on "Women's Rights." CROWTHER had just begun explaining the ,section of the bill requiring husbands and wives to file joint income returns, which he vigorously supported in committee, when Mrs. Bolton, who is just as vigorously opposed, jumped to her feet. "I would like to ask the gentleman," she in- quired, tartly, "if any women were called before the Ways and Means Committee, while this bill was being considered, to testify in defense of the Ameri an home?" "The lofty subject to which the lady from Ohio refers was not discussed to my knowledge," grinned Crowther. "No one, man, woman or child, came before the committee and asked to a be heard, though we held lengthy hearings and listened to many witnesses on various phases of the tax question." "Well, if you had given American women a chance to be heard," shot back Mrs. Bolton, "you wouldn't have approved this outrageous joint- returns section. It takes us back to the days of feudalism, when a man was lord and ma ter of the home and his wifewas considered liftle more than a chattel." THEN, waving an admonishing finger at her colleagues, ; Mrs. Bolton continued: "This part of the tax bill is an invasion of the home. It says that a wife must pool whatever earnings she makes with her husband's income. It does not recognize her as an individual or a wage- earner, but as a subservient chattel. "Mary my words, the women of the country will rise up if Congress writes this attack on their independence into law.". Mrs. Bolton's oratorical effort won a rousing ovation from her male colleagues, but no votes. Joint returns are calculated to bring in over $300,000,000 of additional revenue Note: Mrs. Bolton is one of the wealthiest members of Congress. 'You're In The Army Now' While there will be a lot of noisy breast- beating in the opposition, you can write this down as certain: 1. Congress will approve the retention of the National Guard and selectees in the army. 2. The House will pass the $3,500,000,000 defense tax bill in the form recommended by the Ways and Means Committee. UNDER the restricted debate rules of the House, action on Army retention will take only a few days. The Senate melee will last longer. The isolationist-appeasement bloc will take advantage of theissue to unleash a wide- was Senator Burt Wheeler's conduct during the consideration of the War Department's "draft property" bill. The Montanan clawed it from stem to stern, and then ducked out of the Senate and was nowhere around when the far-reaching measure was adopted without even a roll call. The House will pass the tax bill chiefly be- cause the rank-and-file know little about it and Ways and Means tax measures are always ap- provd. The process will reqtiire about a week. BUT in the Senate it will be different. The Senate Finance Committee will sub- ject the bill to a microscopic scrutiny, requiring at least a month. Next the committee will start writing its own bill, which, based on past per- formances, is certain to differ in important de- tails from the House measure. Chances are that the tax issue will not reach the Senate floor befdre October; so that Nov. 1 is an early guess for the legislation finally to reach the White House for Roosevelt's signature. "At STPIDDS"# By Terence , HERE'Sa certain professor on campus who s noted for his wit. His favorite one goes something like this: The eminent educator will brag to anyone about his musical ability. "Why, my musical ability once saved my life." "How was that?" someone will ask. "Well," the prof will answer, gunning for the kill, "when I was a small boy there was a great flood in our town. When the water reached our house, my father hopped on a bed and floated down-stream on it until he was rescued." "And what did you do?" the sucker will ask. "Well," he'll answer with all the glibness of 1 connoisseur, "I accompanied him on the piano." ,* * * .

Daily, dated July 18, 1941, as I wish to read an article in it which is an illus- tration very fitting to use in my course which I am taking this summer. Thanking you, I am Very truly, That's all there was: no name, no address, no nothing. If the author will send us his name and address the business staff says they might be able to do business with him. jF you've been downtown lately you will have seen the huge bin of aluminum pots and-pans on the lawn of the courthouse. Got to thinking the other night as I drove past that it would be the Arsene Lupin feat of the year for someone to steal that pile. Make quite a story, too. Reminds me for no particular reason of a corny pun I once heard. Q. What's the greatest feat of strength ever performed? A. Wheeling, West Virginia. (Loud laughter). And I wonder if anyone followed the sugges- tion of the WCTU and gave their aluminum cocktail shaker to the fund. If you start giving up things like that it would take all the joy out of life and the world wouldn't be worth fighting for . . . THERE'S a cooling breeze coming in the win- Of Mikes & Men By JUNE McKEE THE RADIO REALM is virtually vibrating with so much momen- tous we have to summon restraint to keep these air-lines from verging toward rave-lengths. (That declara- tion, incidentally, and purely coinci- dentally, poses the two titles most aptly suggested for heading the col- umn. Remember that contest we instigated? Lots of fun resulted, even a few California offers . . . But since the composing-pom boys set up so many stock heads of Mikes & Men, we've decided to carry on thus . . . ) * * * It is today that everyone interested in public service programs and "The Woman's Place in Radio" can come to hear the foremost authority on these subjects speak--in the, Rack- ham Amphitheatre at 4:15 p.m. Then Miss Judith Cary Waller, educational director of the central division of the NBC, will discuss her work with all students of broadcasting, as well as the general public. Need more be said? See you there .. * * * For those with the propensity for humorous poetry, tuning in on WJR at 4:45 p.m. today will bring a pro- gram of verse from students taking radio drama from Don Hargis. These people include Joan Sack, Marvin Levey, Thelma Davis, Edward Webb, Helene Heeney and Claire Cook. Tomorrow, at the same time, an adaptation by W. W. Jacobs (nice initials for radio) will be presented by the students of Professor Abbot. While Edward Webb announces, Grace Roszel, Eileen Wilkin, George Batka, John Hansen and Edward Wright will perform. From Cleveland, Mr. Frank Blum- er, advertising agent for the "Hour of Charm,'. brings tidings of untold opportunity for campus girl singers. About midway in October, a cross- country contest will be launched in which participants from selected col- leges and universities will compete for cash prizes, trips to New York, and eventual placement in Phil Spi- talny's All-Girl Orchestra. , All this, aid education too-a $4,000 Univer- sity scholarship for the fortunate winner. Of the five mid-western education- al institutions selected for the con- test, the University of Michigan was chosen, along with Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Penn State and Ala- bama are included in the five East- ern universities, Mr. Blumer revealed. All contestants will have their singing voices transcribed on Master records, from which individual discs will be made so ghat the 30 members of the orchestra can listen and then vote to choose their own cohort. From each of the 10 campuses two girls will be picked, a winner and alternate, to receive $100 and $50 prizes, and expenses paid to New York. Five girls will then be selected from recording auditions, three of whom receive $1,000 each, then one of these, the four-year $1,000 schol- arship at her University. Thus the "Hour of Charm" will assume' the "Pot O' Gold" aspect-even "Life+ Can Be Beautiful" to those coeds who come through. * * * Mr. Philip Doelker, production manager of WOSU, is with us for awhile, with much to relate regard- ing the radio set-up at Ohio State. ".From running the mimeograph ma- chine to riding the gain'," Mr. Doel- ker does about all the production end of six to eight air-hours daily entails. Within a few weeks, Phil reveals, Ohio State will be boosted to full- day operation on 1,000 watts-as soon as the government can spare a few tubes from defense. Over much better channel, O.S.U. will then be able to broadcast from 8 a.m., until sundown in Texas ...
