CTEXJ SUtf. DEC. '5, IMS, PACE Path For Shining New World Rocky BY DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Viess War Analyst If there's anyone so cynical as to lack faith that in happier days to come we shall have a shining new world, based on the brotherhood of man, then I think he should marooned on a desert isle for News Briefs pessimism. Js if there's anyone so naive as to believe that this millenium is going to arrive with the: end of the present war that it will be reached except through trials and tears; he should be forced to join the cynic. The way things look now, when we've smashed Germany and dismembered the Japanese empire, we shall just have started to climb the heights.

We shall have knocked out military aggression (at least temporarily) but we shall have released violent political passions both in Europe and the Orient. That isn't a happy forecast, but we shouldn't refuse to examine Word has been received here of the birth in Saturday of a second daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Simmons, formerly of Lubbock. The newcomer is a grandchild of City Commissioner and Mrs.

William Beaumont Price, 1610 Avenue and Mrs. Price was with her daughter at the time of the birth. The Simmons' older daughter, Betty Anne, is two years old. No name has yet been chosen for the infant. Arnold Leon Brower, about 20, formerly of Los Angeles, was arrested Saturday at Lamesa by an FBI agent on a fugitive's warrant setting out alleged failure to report for induction in the armed services.

Indeed bitterest of all human conflicts already are under Take the case of Yugoslavia, the most fiery of the Balkans. There the forces of General Drug Tito, a Yugoslav Communist leader, and the army under General Draja Mihailovitch, war minister young King Peter's cabinet, have been at bloody logger-heads. Without much doubt this argument will be carried to a finish as soon as the Germans have been thrown out of Yugoslavia. In neighboring Greece there's a similar situation.

There we have strife between the politico-military organization known as Elas, which is said to-oppose the return of King George to the throne, and the Edes, a military outfit supporting the king. The neighboring states of Bulgaria, Rumania and Hungary all seething politically. In each le the status of the throne is one of the issues. German repression is the only thing keeping the lid on. Down in Syria, little Lebanon has declared its independence from France, and unless the French recognize this fully there will be more trouble.

Italy Political Volcano Italy is a political volcano, with the throne rocking dangerously. Almost anything can happen in France as soon as the Germans are knocked out.

But every morning communistic literature made its mysterious appearance in the mail boxes of business offices throughout Berlin, and I dare say elsewhere. The Communists merely had been driven underground. Many problems will arise in the Orient when Japan has been dismembered and there is a com- jbletely new Asiatic set-up.

One of the greatest of these is the issue between the Chinese Communists and the government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. Right now powerful Red armies are in the field alongside those of the generalissimo, fighting the common Japanese enemy under a political truce. There we have one of the" world's most dangerosu situations. Members of the Lubbock Association of Life Underwriters, in their regular monthly luncheon meeting, yesterday noon heard Chas. A.

Compulsory Savings, Spending Tax Urged WASHINGTON, Dee. 4. anti-inflation program calling for greater taxation of spending, less taxation of savings, and compulsory savings the purchase of war bonds was submitted to the Senate finance committee today by Irving Fisher, professor emeritus of economics at Yale univer- Stalin's Rugged Background Sharp Contrast With Those Of Roosevelt And Churchill sity.

"If we do not check spending and step checking saving, we cannot escape drastic inflation," he told the committee, which is considering the new 52,140,000,000 tax bill. If necessary, he said, he favored putting all private savings into war bonds and all corporate sav ings either into such bonds into government-approved wa industry. Russell Smith, national farmers union representative struck at a provision in the bill, already passed by the House, requiring labor unions, farm cooperatives and similar non-profit groups to file informational financial reports to the Treasury. Smith said the clause "strikes at the heart of cooperatives" and apparently was intended to gain information as the basis for future taxation. INCREASE RECOMMENDED IN DEFICIENCY ALLOTMENT Oldest Fort Group In European Area Goes On 200th Mission ALLIED Social Security Cards Should Not Be Taken For Identification and business men -who normally cash checks for people should not accept social security account number cards as means of identification, according to Erton F.

Tate, manager of the Lubbock Social Security board office. The practice is not only dangerous but the social security cards were not intended to be used for such purposes. "Several individuals have recently applied for account numbers," Tate stated, "who admitted they had no jobs and only wanted the account card in order that they might cash checks at stores without having to go to the bank." It was explained that the holiday season usually brings forth many fraudulent checks in cities, especially in Army camp centers. Individuals should" not accept social security account cards for identification in paying out money on checks, drafts, money orders, WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.

Churchill and Roosevelt met over a pipe, a stogie, and a long cigaret holder.

Together they represent nearly half the human race. Each has come a long way. "FDR" and "Winnie," as their people know them, have similar backgrounds of affluence and family. Far different is the history of Stalin, the worker's son, the revolutionary and frequent inmate of czarist political prisons. The men are as different as their smoking habits Joseph Stalin's bulldog pipe, for instance, might symbolize the compact will of himself and his nation to withstand the most violent assault ever launched.

Son Of A Cobbler Born Joseph Vissarionovich Dzugashvili, son of a Tiflis cobbler, and his Caucasion peasant wife 63 years ago, Stalin left a theological seminary while still in his teens plunged into Lu ionary work. He was in 15 different czarist but went off to the Boer war as a press correspondent He was captured and escaped. His long political career has been marked by stormy disputes over individual issues, yet he is a conservative. At the same time he personifies to the world the stubborn fighting qualities of his people and their faith in England himself. He paints occasionally.

NAZIS UNDER SPELL STOCKHOLM, Dec. 4 propaganda has many of the German people so hypnotized that they still think Germany can win the war despite her reverses on the eastern front and heavy aerial bombardment she is now suffering, a Swede who has just traveled through the Reich declared today. The bora, cold Dalmatian and Albanian wind, has been known to sweep a passener train off the tracks in a mountain gorge. etc. A social security account card is to be used only for the purpose of identifying the wage earner's old- age and survivors insurance account which is maintained by the Social Security board.

BOND ADVERSITING URGED WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Small town publishers hammered away today against a Treasury department contention that authorization of a government war bond advertising program would amount to subsidization of the rural press and would thrust insurmountable obstacles in the path of future bond sales.

As head of the Communist party's secretariat general he rose to be the supreme ruler of the Soviet Union. Stalin, a widower; lives simply and works long hours. He speaks in the plain language of the people, directly, without frills. Called Greatest Realist Sir Stafford Cripps calls him "the greatest realist ever born." Winston Churchill also was toughened in the leadership of a nation at bay.

His famous phrase in 1940, "I linve nothing to offer you but blood, sweat, toil and tears." is as much a part of his personality as the long cigar his pudgy hand holds like a stick of peppermint candy. Probably no man living equals tunity to carry his ideas to the people by radio. Americans know his voice, a ard accent. Some of his bitterest critics on domestic policies agree with his ideas on America's role in the world. As the nation's first third term president and most widely travelled, he has seen much of the world at first hand.

Churchill met Stalin once before and Roosevelt, expressing the hope to do the same, said recently: "It's always good to nieet the ther fellow."
