THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1945 THINKING OUT LOUD By HH. M. L. We note with surprise that recent commentators on the occupation of Getmany indicate our etay will last probably but two and a half. years. We doubt very much that regeneration of a nation which for centuries has been a predator, can be effected in that time. It look as if the chiefs in Washington. have already heard and heeded the rumblings of Ameriean discontent at the prospect of maintaining police troops in~ Gerwhich was the first forecast. Having -won the vic: tory are we now going to throw the fruits into history’s ash can? We know all afbout the pressures that arise in our form of government, fut time and again throughout our long history, governmental leaders seeing the damgers ahead, have educated the people to the right course . of conduct to avoid them. Our leadership will, indeed be delinquent if it throws away this opportunity to make a friendly cooperative people of the Germans. Trwo and half years of American occupation gould not get the Germans through the first in decency. Let us be good neighbors, but BHheaven forbid that Uncle Sam should become the world’s prize sap. The high ideals ‘painted in sharp, bright colors by our military and governmental leaders during the war, the imminence of a Japanese invasion or a filight of V-2 rockets from Germany, these and other ineentives spurred us to a vigorous prosecution of the war regardiless of the expense in dollars and in precious lives. The strain is lifted, peace is here. We still want the job of securing world peace well done, but we don’t want our boys to do their share in it. Are we rapidly slipping -Dack.to.where we started? (Now that the war is over there will no longer be the do or die urge to win. We have won, to be sure, ‘but not the peace. That takes time and plenty of hard headed thinking. Is the American people capable of it? We shall see. But the expectation and hope that our occupation of Germany will be for. such a short term as two and a half years does sound reassuring. We understand quite well that few Young men and very few fathers and mothers want to see conscription of youth merely for police duty in Germany and Japan. But if we win any of the fruits off this military victory of such magnitude and portent, our boys will have to pluck them: It won’t do to let George do it, because George may get us inito another war in one generation. Let the parents of our young men comfort themselves with the thought that those drafted mow will be in no more danger than those who remain in civil life and that they will re-. ceive the best of physical care and anything they wish in the way of education that is within reason. The United Sta'tes from the war, the most powerful of all peoples. We believe in our way of life and its proipagation among the peoples of the earth. Our world policemen, in a’ sense, will be missionaries of democracy. IIt must be in that missionary crusading spirit that we send them abroad to maintain the peace. If we looked at Germany and Japan as peoples who are desperately in need, not so much of religious salvation, as of the rudimentary rights of free men, so rudimentary, or primary. that we take them for granted as we do the air we breath, it will be easier to make these peace time sacrifices. has emerged If we do our part now, manfully play the role which fate has assigned us in world affairs, we feel very confident that we sHiall win the peace. But it will not! be won in a year or two nor in a decade or two. It must be a constant, steady summoning of physical might to back out ideals, a constant process or regenerating people who had dropped back to the bestial level of primitive cave men. _ ‘These must be reinspired, and supported morally and sometimes aided materjally, ‘to regain that stature of a_free not, LIGHTNING FIRES PLAGUE FOREST SERVICE CREWS Dispatcher Gordon Vance of th Tahoe Natonal Forest reports ibe lightning storm of Aulgust 12 set eight fires on the Truckee District and four on the Sierraville District. All were quickly ‘controlled, except one in Antelope Creek and. another on the Blenheim Creek, both on the Sierraville District. The Antelope Fire was controlled at approximately forty acres and the (Blenheim fire 100 acres before being controlled. (Manpower was secured from the ‘Clover Valley Lumber Company at Loyalton, the Calida (Lumber Company: at Indian Valley and the Oregon Creek Lumber Company at Camiptonville. The Army’ Engineers furnished demolition squads from Camp Beale, and Blister Rust men ‘were sent from tthe Plumas Forest. Fire overhead was secured from the Angeles, Cleveland, Plumas and San ‘Bernardino National Forests to assist local forest officers.

GOLD MINERS MUST BE PAID MINIMUM WAGE are reopening their (properties in (California, Nevada and Utah must conform to the federal wage and hour law, by C. O, Aitchinson, San Francisco branch office manager for the Wage— Th . Hour‘and Public Contracts Divisions U. S. Department of Labor. That means, he said, a minimum of 40 cents an hour and time and one ‘half the regular rate for all work after 40 hours in one week must ode paid employees engaged in interstate commerce or producing goods for interstate commerce. (Mine operatorg have been advised by the Non Ferrous Metals Commission that they may pay the same ‘wages they did when they closed down, provided their rates then were legal. To avoid incurring possible penalties.through payment of unauthorized wage rates, operators likely will find it to their advantage to discuss their wage problems with wage-hour staff, Atchinson said. Any misunderstanding regarding what are and what are not ‘‘legal rates’’ according to the Non Ferrous Metals Commission rulings, can be cleared up and Wage-Hour inspectors will be glad to assist employers in submission of any form necessary to obtain approval of proposed pay scales.

ADULTS NEED EDUCATION IN WORLD UNITY LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23—Education of the American people in the terms of new wonld organization will be distinctly a problem of adult education. This is the belief of Dr. Edwin A. Lee, dean of the School of Education on the Los Angeles campus of the. University of California. “It is incenceivalble that the fate of world cooperation will have been decided for decades hence before the youth now in high schoo} will have reached voting age. It is an immediate problem of reeducating grown ups which we face. Boys and girls as they come along swill ‘have ‘been taught the beginnings and foundations of politics and history necessary for citizenship in a new world organization, but unless their elders have in the meantime been making their influence felt with congressmen and state department and the president of the United States the actual functioning of a new world organization may have been hindered or stalemated beyond hope of reasonable success for a quarter. icentury. “That the temper of adult Americans is favorable toward active and effective participation in the world organization is abundantly evident in the various polls which were conducted concerning the San Fra‘icisco charter and by the impact of public pinion on congress,’ the educator points out.

ALREADY UNDER SOME CONTROL ATOMIC ENERGY LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23—Release of atomic energy may lead to an age of unibelievable industrial power, provided control of the explosive reaction can be achieved by science, according to Dr. Hans Reichenbach, professor of philosophy on the Los Angeles campus of the University of California and a well known theoretical physicist. ‘Suggesting that some control had apparently already been established, Reichenbach points out that had this not been the case, the explosion of tthe first atomic bomb migkt have started a chain reaction among atoms of other dense matter leading to unchecked disintegration. ‘ ‘Reichenbach explaing that the furious energy of the a'ttomic bomb is a result of the virtual destruction of matter, wherein the uranium isotope splits, violently into two parts, releasing coruscating burst of heat and other rediations. — The author of a number of works on the atom, Reichenbach formerly taught ‘both philosophy and physics at the University of Berlin and the University of Istanbul. ‘ EASTERN STAR The Order of Eastern: Star resumed meetings with a large numiber in attendance on Tuesday evening.
