All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. The Russians Thaw DON'T LOOK NOW, but there are signs that the Russians are beginning to be aware that we in the United States might be worth getting better acquainted with. An Associated Press dispatch reports that a new Russian-made film, titled Iran, which "gives a graphic story of the delivery of United States materials to the Soviet Union," is being shown daily to large crowds in Moscow.

Months before Ambassador Standley's recent blast, it now develops, a Russian cartoonist, named Boris Efimov, a depicted the aid being given to Russia by the United States and Britain. One drawing, reproduced here, showed a convoy of huge steamers labelled "United States War Prod c- tion" about to swamp Herr Goebbels, afloat in a tiny boat bearing a sail on which is inscribed, in Russian, S. cannot organize production for war." The other showed Hitler -in a tank crushed between heavier tanks, bearing on one side the scythe and hammer of the Soviets, and on the other the American and British flags. Now the other day, on the two hundredth anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's birth, an article was published by Izvestia, Soviet government organ, praising Jefferson for his leadership in the cause of democracy and the common man. Well, peace-time collaboration requires a toleration, and toleration has to have a beginning in recognition of some good in the other fellow.

If the Russians turned overnight, from hating and suspecting us, to unbounded praise of us, we would KNOW we were being played for suckers. By eradicating barriers through better mutual acquaintance, gradually, instead of trying to blow them all down with dynamite, the basis is laid for a friendship based on whatever mutual trust such acquaintance warrants. Conservation Week WEEK is Conservation week in Minnesota. Traditionally it is given over to observance of Arbor and Bird day (which is next Friday), to invitations to play in state forests and parks, and to general discussions of the natural resources with which the state is blessed and the best ways of preserving them. In wartime, Conservation week has more than normal significance.

Some of Minnesota's greatest reservoirs of strength are the resources given her by nature and sometimes cultivated, sometimes plundered, by man. From our iron ranges comes most of the nation's ore for building essential weapons. Planning the ranges' future is an enormously important conservation project. The state's forests are supplying timber for victory. Waterpower helps to produce electricity, conserving coal and transportation.

Fish and game, primarily for recreational enjoyment, now help to supplement scarce supplies of meat. And the state parks and forests are open to workers who seek the kind of peaceful vacations that are even more necessary in wartime than in peace. War puts a greater than normal strain on these basic resources. It makes broad understanding of intelligent conservation practices unusually important. Civic clubs, Boy and Girl Scouts, 4-H clubs, schools and others will want to participate in Conservation week programs.

A request to the bureau of information of the state conservation department in St. Paul will bring concrete suggestions for doing so. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS has picked up a Ber- lin radio broadcast quoting two Rome newspapers, Il Tevere and Il Piccolo, as proposing the execution of American fliers captured after a bombing raid on the Grosseto airport, 90 miles north of Rome. The two newspapers especially Il Tevere, from which the principal incitement seems to have come -are the least responsible organs of Italian opinion. Besides being Rome's political scandal sheet, Il Tevere is the organ of the German embassy i in Rome and as such it does not even speak for the Italian fascists, much less the Italian people.

11 Piccolo, which means The Little One, is the cheap morning edition of Il Giornale d'Italia, and carries the trial balloons which the propaganda military does not think worthy even of Virginio Gayda's efforts. The two Italian newspapers in question come about as close to indicating Italian opinion as True Confession comes to speaking for the administration in Washington. Speaking of compelling men to stay on essential jobs, circus is short of midgets this year: they hired out to aircraft plants the, last fall to work inside the wings, and got frozen. "With all the siftin' they're doin' in Washington," remarked Bide Oatshanks, shoving up his specs, "let's hope they use a lot finer sieve than the one they dump our tax money into."

Youthful Policemen To the Editor: Why aren't these young men who have recently been put on our Minneapolis police force in the armed forces instead? They have to be physically fit to act as police officers, and therefore are surely fit to fight for their country. We have men in Minneapolis aged 45 to 60 who can qualify for police duty, are experienced, physically fit and have better judgment than the younger men. This will also apply to other city office holders from the mayor on down. Older men can fill these positions very nicely.

Minneapolis. -C. A. Anderson. Editor's Note: The police department says that men now being added to the force as temporary wartime replacements have a 3-A draft classification, in many cases being married with several children.

Some of them will doubtless into service. Eighty-five of the force's 506 policemen are already in military service. Ex-Alderman Sees No Need of 'Overhaul' To the Editor: I noticed with a great deal of interest a statement in the April 26 Star Journal by Hubert H. Humphrey, that the government of needs an overhauling. From the trend statement he evidently needs to Minneapolis, acquire quite a bit of information about our city government.

I served as one of the members of our city council from 1931 to 1936 and I hope the days of city council representation on my part are over forever. Every so often one of these super-critics pops out and starts to tell about how the governmental affairs of our city are to be conducted. I am a native son of our city and I feel that our governmental batting average will compare favorably with that of any city of its size anywhere. Minneapolis. -Lawrence Lund, Ex-alderman, 2nd Ward.

Dunne Is Really Agin' 'Business' To the Editor: In a letter in a recent Issue of the Star Journal, one of Hubert Humphrey's supporters for mayor boasts that this candidate has "the frank endorsement of various groups in the community: labor, 1 business, church and other civic groups." There was a time in Minneapolis labor history when the candidate endorsed by the trade union movement and the Farmer Labor party was proud to stand before the voters of the city as a working class candidate opposed to reactionary business interests. He was proud of his labor record and filled his campaign speeches with denunciations of the Chamber of Commerce, the Citizens' Alliance and the Associated Industries. In this campaign, however, even the editor of the official AFL union paper speaks with approval of the fact that Candidate Humphrey "has appeared before many meetings of the Junior Association of Commerce and business men's associations." Only one candidate for mayor in the 1943 election campaign speaks with the old-time devotion to the working class movement. Only V. R.

Dunne, candidate of the Socialist Workers Party, stands out as an honest representative of working men and women. Since 1909, when he established permanent residence in Minneapolis, Vincent Raymond Dunne has been known to Minneapolis workers for his active participation in the trade union and workers' political movements. In the "open shop" period in Minneapolis industrial history, along with many other militant pioneers, V. R. Dunne was victimized for his trade union organization work.

After the victorious conclusion of the Minneapolis truck drivers' strikes of 1934, there was an upsurge of the. labor movement of the entire northwest. The mighty role of Local 574 -later Local 544-in aiding the workers of this area to obtain higher wages and better working conditions is well known. To thousands of northwest workers, the life and record of Vincent Dunne is synonymous with that of Local 544. Because of this honorable record as a fighter for the rights of those who work for a living, the working men and women of Minneapolis, who make up the vast majority of the city's population, should support V.

R. Dunne for mayor. Minneapolis. -Harry DeBoer. School Janitor-Engineers' Pay To the Editor: I don't see how Mr.

Schoonmaker or the board of education can have the crust to put in the paper "We have a surplus" when they wouldn't give janitors a raise in accordance with rising living costs. I wonder if the public knows some janitors get only $105 monthly. Out of this comes a 3.8 per cent pension deduction for some, others have as much as 8 per cent. Then there is the victory tax. Can anyone feed a family and keep a decent home on less than $100 monthly? A few head men get $200 or nearly so, but a janitor's highest pay is $140.

Neighbors wonder why they don't buy bonds. I still think people in Minneapolis should know the garbage collector gets better pay than a licensed janitor engineer. Minneapolis. Mrs. E.

Larson. They're Not 'Axis Dupes' To the Editor: May I point out to the contributor who implied (April 21) that the signers of "The Case Against Communism" are "dupes of Axis propaganda," that opposition to Communism does not mean that either the writers of the article or those of us who signed it are friendly toward the abhorrent philosophies of Nazism or Fascism! All three are totalitarian systems wherein man is made slave of the state and deprived, in varying degrees, of the exercise of human rights. Being essentially atheistic, totalitarianism thrives upon the idea that human rights come not from God but from the government; that what the government gives it away. Totalitarianism is opposed to the American concept of government, which holds that man is entitled to exercise of human rights because such rights come from God, that they are necessary to attainment of man's earthly welfare and eternal destiny with God, and that therefore human governments have no power take away those rights, but must protect them. No man may use any one right, such as free speech, to violate the others, or to violate the moral law upon which they are founded.

Since the advocates of Communism work subversively to replace by force American democracy with their brand of totalitarianism, it's the duty of patriotic citizens to oppose their efforts and to keep them out of public office. Nazism and Fascism are openly combatted, and rightfully so; yet Communism, almost unchallenged, eats away at the vitals of the nation. We must not abandon vigilance simply because Russia, which controls the "Communist International," is a military ally. Now is the time to avert an internal "Pearl Harbor." Minneapolis. -Helen Lynch.

ENTER: OUR PERENNIAL COMMANDO The 'Weir' Reaches Duluth By GEORGE L. PETERSON Duluth, Minn. Saturday OCCASIONALLY during the steamer a Ernest T. Weir scraped ice and a slight tremor ran through the ship. But with a sturdy boat and a competent crew, the NORTHWEST rasping was just a pleasing PASSAGE accompaniment to sleep.

This morning the ice was gone, a changeable breeze stirred Lake Superior, and far to the north the hills of Minne- sota showed darkly through the haze. Deckhands began loosening the clamps on hatch covers. In the engine room--glistening with new paint and polished brass--the men were happy to be on the move. Through the days of waiting in the ice they had maintained their regular watches with steam always up for a start. Chief Engineer John WattScotland born, like so many ship engine men the world overseemed never to utter a word, but everything functioned perfectly.

In the boiler room, down at the bottom of the ship, coalblackened men were sweating. Two firemen and a coal passer compose each watch. They do the hardest physical labor on board, and have the heartiest appetites at table. Captain Hartman told about the seven-pork-chop capacity of a lad he had as fireman a few years ago -Ward Powell, an Ohio boy who now has made a name for himself flying against the Japs. But Steward Ostrom said few appetites have been greater than those of a couple of deckhands he used to feed, who would stow away 18 pancakes each, plus eggs and other food, for breakfast.

Early in the afternoon we met four boats which had wintered at Two Harbors, coming down laden with rich Varmilion range ore. Winches began pulling off the steel hatch covers so unloading machinery at Duluth could go right to work. The journey which, in the ice at Whitefish bay, had seemed so long was nearing an end, and it was easy for a visitor to understand the affection the men had for their boat-a pride so great that sailors often refer to the Weir as the Queen Mary. The crew is a congenial, orderly crowd. Sometimes they curse the monotony of shipping and are anxious to have the season end, BUT EACH SPRING THEY WAIT EAGERLY FOR SAILING ORDERS.

Duluth is in sight. A dozen vessels, marked by long smoke trails, plod along. Slowly we pass under the aerial bridge, half a dozen hours behind the leading Hebard. A stiff wind is blowing, so a tug comes out to help guide us. The captain calls continual orders to the wheelsman.

There are backing and change of pace, instructions for the tug, revised orders as the wind pushes the stern. Maneuvering a 600-foot boat in a narrow channel is exacting business. Finally the first line is tossed ashore, then another. In a few minutes the Weir is tied up--at 8 p.m. Duluth time, but an hour earlier by eastern time which all Great Lakes boats use.

The big unloading cranes swing into position over the cargo. Tomorrow afternoon the coal will be out. A few hours later 13,000 tons of iron ore will be in the hold and the Weir will be on its way to Lake Erie. A fascinating journey endsthe ore season is on! Saturday, May 1, 1943 Lincoln Brigade Pearson Cites Another Example of Army Prejudice Against Spanish Veterans By DREW PEARSON The Washington Merry-Go-Round LTERE is another illustration of how the brass hats in I1 the United States army are treating American boys who went to fight for a republican government in Spain against Dictator Franco and his supporters, Mussolini' and Hitler. The German and Italian armies used the Spanish civil war as a testing ground for modern warfare; but the United States army has relegated Americans who fought in Spain largely to work battalions.

Milton Wolff was a major in command of a battalion of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Ebro offensive. Later he enlisted in the United States army, was sent to officers' training camp at Fort Benning, Ga. There STRIKE WAR NEWS 1 Regimental Commander Col. Thomas R. Gibson treated Wolff cordially and a story of his Spanish experiences was written up in the camp newspaper.

His qualifications were rated "excellent." He qualified on map reading, compass work, night problems. "Then," says Wolff, "suddenly the axe fell. It was certainly not routine procedure for flunking men out. I was supposed to see a regimental board, which is routine; but after hanging around all day, I was called in to see a colonel. He asked me about Spain, the labor movement, Brookwood school straight stuff.

I gave him straight answers. "Knowing something was funny, I went in to see my company commander and asked him what the score was. He said he didn't know. Subsequently my battalion commander, regimental commander, and the infantry school commander told me the same thing. "This was about a week and a half before graduation.

The last of the men to be flunked had already left. I completed the course, which ended four days before graduation. The last few days are used for signing final forms, uniforms, graduation rehearsals. "Then I knew something phony was going to happen. I signed none of the final forms.

Again I went up the chain of A Soldier and a Juke Box WESTBROOK PEGLER Phoenix, Ariz. THE Saturday night before Easter a lot of solwere in from the flying and the camps 'way down desert, and one soldier sitting alone at the bar high stool with a bottle of beer in front of him. He was an old guy with a World war ribbon on his shirt and with glasses straddling his long nose and hooked over his big ears, which stood out from his clipped scalp like flippers. In a corner about five yards away there was a juke box into which other soldiers and girls were pouring nickels, dimes and quarters. It kept up a horrible racket, with only brief rests while one record was slid off and the next one dropped into place.

The old soldier would slide off his stool every now and again as a record neared. its end and tack toward the juke with a nickel in his hand. He was pretty well along in his beer and the going was heavy so by the time he got there someone else would beat him to the coin slot, push a bunch of buttons and send her off again. He tried to promote some conversation with a marine corporal on the next stool, but the marine was a morose individual who probably was fed up on Chateau Thierry, Cantigny and all such places as the old dug. outs talk about, so he gave the soldier a decisive brush-off, and they sat on, side by side but socially apart.

Time after time, the old guy eased himself down off his perch and squared away toward that box with a gleam of anticipation and joy in his eye, but always some crazy dame or some lieutenant would be there first. WHEN YOU DROP A QUARTER IN THE BIG SLOT YOU GET FIVE RECORDS IN A ROW AND THEY RUN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. Sometimes, when a new number was about to start, he would lift his head hopefully with his little fore- cap several degrees out of line, shut his eyes and wait. Then, after the first few bars of the racket, he would droop visibly and order another beer. It was beginning to be late and he was beginning to be desperate.

They close at midnight and the waiters and the bartenders were passing the word to the command and got the same re- plies. They didn't know. "Finally I was shipped to Ft. McClellan, and was assigned to the medics (medical corps). I will probably be here for the duration, despite the fact that a war department order says that only 1B men would fill these services." Mrs.

Roosevelt's Pup Here is a story which Mrs. Roosevelt tells on herself. In London it is customary for the English police to give a "code" name or pseudonym to every distinguished visitor which can be used by radio police cars, without the Nazis picking up the name from the ether waves and knowing who is in London. When Mrs. Roosevelt arrived, Scotland Yard suggested that she adopt A code name and with typical Rooseveltian humor she chose the code name "Rover." One of the first things Mrs.

Roosevelt wanted to do was visit her son Elliot. So she started to his office in an army car, equipped with a two-way radio. While driving there, the car's radio informed the first lady that Elliot, not knowing of her arrival, had left his office. Mrs. Roosevelt didn't know where to find him.

Finally she suggested that a message be broadcast by radio from the car that she was looking for Elliot. However, to use the name "Elliot Roosevelt" on the radio would immediately tip off the Nazis regarding his whereabouts, would also give a hint that she was in London. So Mrs. Roosevelt proposed By ON diers fields in the was on a customers to order up before the deadline. The oldtimer got down, looked around swimming.

ly and set a course toward a table for six. "Excuse me for butting in," he began, "but I am a little tight, and probably I am a pest, but I was at Chateau-Thierry and I can pull up my pants and show you shrapnel in both legs, but this here is Saturday night and practically all night I have been sitting around here trying to play a particular record on that damn thing over there and the record I want to play is Easter Parade because I am 43 years old and not young like these kids and I am sentimental about Easter. Easter Parade is my favorite song and I wonder if you would be so kind to see if you can shove in there quick the next time it stops and get Easter Parade for me." A young flying cadet, whose father is a retired four-striper of the navy, had noticed the old soldier's ribbon, and in a tone of sympathy and respect he said he would be glad to horn in and get Easter Parade for him the next time around if he had to knock somebody down. So with precise timing he was right there as the thing died, dropped his money, punched the right button and Cost of War From a statement by the New York State Economic Council In 1940 there were 435 income taxpayers; in 1941, in 1942, 760,865. The 1943 tax will fall upon roughly 27,000,000 persons.

ON York THE authority of the New Times the war this year will cost the United States more than ALL THE OTHER BELLIGERENT NATIONS PUT TOGETHER. According to these estimates it will cost the United States roughly Germany Great Britain Italy 000,000, and Japan $7,000,000,000. Although the United States budget tops the war expenditures of allies and enemies combined, the United States will not maintain larger armies and navies than all these other nations put together. It does not mean the United States will produce more munitions and supplies than all of them. It means that, through unprecedentedly high wages, through overtime due to the 40-hour week, through an unwieldy bureauracy, we are paying far more for far less, proportionately, than any other nation.

Such prodigality is a serious threat to our country's economic future. said "There you are, old soldier. Help yourself." The old soldier hauled himself up muttering thanks and crossed the room and almost climbed into the juke box. He grabbed hold of both sides, lowered his head and closed his eyes for the fulfillment, after hours of frustration during which he had had to listen to the strident horrors of hot trumpets and the melancholy mooing of love-lorn tenors. Now the record ceased to hiss, and Irving Berlin's lovely music came sweet and true: "In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it." A smile of serenity spread over the tanned face of the old soldier and he clasped his hands behind him and began to sway softly.

As it ended, he dropped onto a bench at a table littered with dead drinks and dead cigarets and put his face in his hands. When he looked up, his eyes were red. "Thank you, soldier," he said. "That was beautiful. All night I wanted Easter Parade for Easter.

I AM SO GODDAM LONESOME!" code message. "LET'S BROADCAST THIS," SHE SAID. 'ROVER HAS LOST HER PUP'." Eye for Eye John G. Winant, U. S.

ambassador to Great Britain, thinks we can fight this war without hating the enemy. The British tried a "hate campaign," then abandoned it. One of the voices expressing strongest opposition to the campaign was the commanding general of the British forces in England, Gen. Bernard C. T.

Winant believes, with the late Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Lang, that there is a clear difference between revenge and retribution. One is an act of returning evil for evil, the other is punishment for evil. According to this view, a man can be a better soldier if he has an exalted notion of his cause, rather than a mere hatred of the enemy.
