In the background the terrible figure of a two-headed monster arose, one head being and the other In the foreground stood a stripling representing "world and in his hand was clutched the sword of The title, "It's your job, completed the message which needed no greater words. That there is truth in the picture is undisputed. But that it is alone the job of youth is debatable. Somewhere out of the past one recalls an old truism, "Youth for action; age for And if youth fails to adopt that adage as a guide whenever it takes up the sword against the two- headed monster, it will have more than a battle on its hands; it will have been defeated before it starts. Youth has had placed upon its shoulders within the present generation more loads than it can carry.

The head of the government's criminal investigation bureau said in Jefferson City a day or two ago that in youth the solution to crime is reposed; the political parties of the nation have looked to youlh to cure the ills of party government, and to bolster a doubtful economic fabric; the future of religion has been placed in the hands of youth; now it is handed the swovd of democracy to fight against the isms which threaten world liberty. It's too much for youth. Youth is prone to be carried away by new ideas, and new trends, and it could be persuaded to accept the ideas of a radical governmental nature, since the world in the past decade has not been kind to those who are beginning to take on the responsibilities of life. It cannot successfully carry on the crusades thrust upon it without the wisdom qf those who have seen liberty threatened and have defeated the threatener. Youth will have to carry itle heavy burden that will be thrust upon it all too soon, but it will not be able to carry its fight to a final conclusion successfully and victoriously unless It is guided by the wisdom of all ages, and which cannot be crammed into the brains and the breasts of those whose years are still too few and Its experiences those of the child.

No one will argue against the fact that communism and fascism are world threats. It is possible that the youth of today will have become mature before the threat becomes acute in America, but it is not probable that it could master that threat today with the facilities it has at hand. Youth has always provided the force that has set the world free of threatening things, but it has been maturity that has told It what to do with its power. --AND SO TO WORK Speaking to his ministers, George VI declared he would follow their deliberations "in the confident hope that they may advance the happiness and prosperity of all my peoples." That's a big confidence for a man so new on the job. In spite of coronation clatter, the king undoubtedly had ear for discords involving his empire.

There was Ireland's new independence move, India's home rule law quarrel, Italy's refusal to "be loss of a British warship off Spain, England's own financial and labor stress, and, in general, the world's disaffection with itself. A gracious, likeable figure was George VI as he accepted his destined glory in the pomp of coronation. Now comes drab circumstance and the crowning test of a man not exactly born to rule. WHY ALIMONY FOR EITHER? It might be an excellent thing if the action of the Florida House of Representatives, which recently passed a bill providing for alimony for divorced husbands, should cause a re-examination of the whole question of alimony. The average person finds something rather ridiculous in the idea of an able-bodied man drawing down regular monthly payments from his ex-wife.

But is it, really, much more ridiculous than the idea of an able-bodied woman getting regular monthly payments from her ex-husband? Where there are small children, of course, Ihe case is different. But where there are none --and in many, many alimony cases there are not--it is hard to think of any justification for any very extended alimony payments. If a woman wants to be supported by a man, she can stay married to him. If she doesn't want to do that, is is hardly unfair to expect her to look out for herself. Everytime they talk about repairing the curbing on High somebody recalls that it is still a good idea to take three to six feet from the sidewalk and add it to the width of the street- JEFFERSON CITY POST-TRIBUNE WASHINGTON DAYBOOK By Preston Grover WASHINGTON Paul V.

McNutt. who ikos to do things the hard-handed way, rocked the iilipinos back on their heels by telline them in effect that, after all, their independence isn't much past the piffling stage and that he is the big cheese. That wouldn't be very exciting news for anyone besides a Filipino except for the reason that Mr. McNutt expects to quit beine hieh commissioner to the Philippines in about a year and will then return to America to start running for the Presidency. Genesis It was during the inevitable readjustment hat goes on when a new commissioner reaches the islands that McNutt announced that in mat- rs cceden ce he outranked the President of the Philippine commonwealth.

Perhaps he does. The state department fought shy of saying publicly just where the matter stood but there was expert opinion available around the building that, technically -speaking, McNutt was right. The islands still be- sioner represents the President of the United long to the United States and the high commis- hat puts him to ove the island But why rub it in? That question popped up in many a government quarter. McNutt not only insisted he was high mogul in the islands but that all consular mail from other countries should be sent to him rather than Manuel Quezon, President of the islands. Even some of the foreign consulates thought thai was a hot cookie and sent home for directions on what to do.

For one reason (and perhaps others), it is almost too bad the islands will be cut off from the United States. They have served as a sort of testing ground lor Presidential prospects Taft made the stride from Manila to Pennsylvania avenue. General Leonard Wood almost made it. Now two more candidates will have Philippine background when 1940 rolls around Strangely, they had to wrestle with the same issue and each handled it his own special way. Frank Murphy, now governor of Michigan, preceded McNutt as high commissioner and was Jirst to meet the question of precedence under ncw ndc enTdence act Instead of taking it fighting, the McNutt way, he decided to give the island government a "build up" and stress the importance of the island officials, while yet nre- serving the dignity of the United States.

When he moved into the Michigan governorship, Murphy applied the same tactics of the softly guiding hand to his tumultuous labor disputes. Not so McNutt, when he was governor of Indiana. His foes called him the "man on horseback, and when labor trouble raised its head in the Indiana coal mines he slapped on martial law. Before he left Indiana, he was the whole government. He piled on taxes until debts were wiped out, and built up a fat surplus.

That is his way. It isn't the Murphy way at least not in matters of labor. Which type will the country want in 1940? HOW'S YOUR HEALTH Dr. lago Galdston TWO TYPES OF ALLERGIC REACTIONS An allergic reaction may turn out to be either protective or injurious. When protective, it is termed prophylactic that is, one that tends to ward off disease.

When injurious, it is anaphylactic. Let us use an analogy: An individual who slips or is thrown off balance instinctively puts out his arms and goes through a series of quick muscular readjustments aimed at helping him regain his balance If he is successful, these movements are prophylactic in effect. But if he falls despite his efforts he is likely, especially because of his contortions, to suffer some added injury. He may break his arm bones or collar bone because he extends his hand and falls on it In this case his efforts to regain balance might be called anaphylactic against in effect, 'for if he had taken his fall on his back or side he might have suffered no more than a bruise. Professional athletes and trained tumblers usually know how to inhibit their spontaneous movements so as to fall or tumble without incurring added risks.

I treatment of anaphylactic reactions, the sufferer is at times injected with minute but increasing quantities of the very substances to which he is sensitive. This form of treatment tends to condition the body to "fall safely" or not to over-react. An allergic reaction, as defined yesterday is a specific change in the degree of sensitiveness towards a definite substance or physical stimulus on the part oE an individual or of one or more of his tissues." Some individuals seem to be born with a heightened capacity to develop allergic reactions. Among them one finds a marked prevalence of such allergic diseases as asthma, hay fever and urticaria. Furthermore, pnysicians believe today that allergy is essential for the production of other diseases, notably rheumatic fever, certain forms losi eas? lobar Pneumonia and tubercu- By further study of the mechanisms of the allergic reaction, it is quite possible that medical science may ultimately learn to master these devastating diseases.

Four Persons Killed In Crash of Car and Truck Near Belleville BELLEVILLE, June 2-(AP)--Speed was blamed today by Sheriff Henry L. Siekmann, of St. Clan- county, for the head-on collision of an automobile-and a transport truck in which four men were killed and two others injured, one critically.

Witnesses reported, the sheriff said, that the automobile, traveling at a high rate of speed, swerved into the heavily loaded transport on a wide curve, six miles west of here last night, as the driver apparently lost control. The impact hurled the four passengers from the motor car, killing three instantly. The fourth' man died soon after being taken to a hospital. One was decapitated.

But Tiny Island Has Disappeared and Science Loses Chance to See Greatest Show in 1200 Years By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor NEW YORK, June 2--(AP)--A little island named Sarah Ann which some maps show i the mid-Pacific ocean, has disappeared and with her has gone glimmering the chances of astronomers to see the greatest show in 1200 years, a total eclipse of the sun which on June 8 will last seven minutes four seconds. In these many centuries there has been no eclipse so long. Most of them last about two minutes. This great duration comes only at noon in mid-Pacific where there is no land, unless someone can find Sarah Ann.

Maybe Sarah Ann sank. Maybe she was just a seaman's geographical mistake. Charles H. Smiley in Popular Astronomy declares Sarah Ann is on the map, and in the right spot. But the astronomers have given up hope for her.

The main observing will be done at points where the eclipse lasts only three and a half to four minutes. One of these places is a coral island 5,000 miles southwest of San Francisco. The other is mountains 14,000 feet high on the coast of Peru. Casts Speedy Shadow The shadow starts south of the equator near the Fiji Islands at sunrise. It is a black spot about lo3 miles in diameter.

It moves in an arch across the Pacific ocean, traveling 8,800 miles i three hours and 20 minutes to hit the coast of Peru just before sunset, ihe arch bends upward across the equator and below again. The shadow speeds at an average rate of 44 miles a minute. But early the day and again late in the afternoon it travels much faster, because of the slanting angle at which it hits the earth At noon when the shadow' is directly overhead it moves only -U miles a minute. That is one reason why the eclipse lasts so long at the missing port called Sarah Ann. Watch From Ship Deck One two-man scientific expedition on the decks of a freighter will try to be at this mid point at noon on June 8.

The members are Dr. John I. Stewart, Princeton astronomer, and James Stockley assistant director of' Franklin institute, Philadelphia. A rolling deck is unsuited to precise astronomical work. But these two expect to measure the changing brightness light and to take colored photos.

The largest expedition hopes to see the eclipse at 8:04 a. m. from Canton Island in the south Pacific. On this island it is estimated the odds are six to ten there will be no obscuring clouds. The National Geographic Society and the U.

Navy are conducting this expedition. On the coast of Peru the eclipse will strike when the sun is eight degrees above the horizon and at a time- of year when fog banks generally lie 3,000 feet high. 3 Expeditions In Peru By climbing the mountains back of the Peruvian coast three astronomical expeditions hope to see over the fog. At 14,000 feet their chances of success are estimated at eight in ten. The expeditions are the Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History--Grace Line, Brown University, and a Japanese party.

The path of partial eclipse will be 2,000 miles wide. With smoked glasses spectators in the United States should be able to see this, as a little black nick in the edge of the sun, in a line that runs from California to the southern half of Florida. Points in this line are Eureka, Bono, Nevada- Amarillo, Texas; Louisiana; Biloxi, Mississippi; and Tampa and Palm Beach, Florida. 'The astronomers will study features of the sun visible only during eclipses. The purpose is to learn the composition of stars.

The sun is the only star close enough for detailed observation. If its structure can be understood, men will have a better idea about the origin of the universe, and probably of many chemical puzzles of the earth. Corona A Mystery The two main studies will be the corona, the halo of white light a million miles wide surrounding the eclipsed sun, and the atmosphere, a layer of blazing gases, many thousands of miles high, which can be seen clearly at the edge of the all but eclipsed sun. The nature of the corona is a mystery. There is evidence that it is mainly oxygen.

But if so, it is a state of oxygen not known on earth. The gases of the atmosphere, which include metals, can be identified with spectroscopes. This adds to knowledge of the sun's make-up. Measuring the brightness of the light in eclipse furnishes clues to strange states of ordinary matter on the sun. Other studies are useful for understanding radio static, sunspots and the sun's magnetic storms which sometimes reach all the way to the earth.

Honeybees prefer blue flowers, while night-flying moths choose white, possibly because it is seen easily in the dark. HEADLINES TELL OF BOMBING t', This radiophoto of front pages of Berlin newspapers shows how German papers treated the bombing of the ''Docket ship Deutschland by Snanish government planes One Mussolini Discusses Possibility In Talk With German War Minister, Rome Hears ROME, June 2--(UP)--Premier Benito Mussolini intends to discuss with Field Marshal Werner Von Blomberg, German war minister, the possibility of direct Italian-German intervention in the Spanish Civil war, diplomatic quarters reported today. If intervention were decided upon, it was said, it would be started in reprisal for any Partner loyalist "aggressions" SUL i as the bombing of the German battleship Deutschland and the Italian auxiliary warship Barletta in the Baleric Islands. There were unconfirmed reports that Mussolini already was massing men and materialfor big scale intervention, in event that he felt it advisable to order that; grave 9v. Hard Headed Soldier Baron Von Blomberg, Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's key man in the de- 1 fense ministries, a hard-headed professional soldier, arrived here by air today for an official visit to King Victor Emmanuel and Mussolini.

Officially the visit is of cere- 1 monial nature. Actually it is expected to result in important military discussions. It is denied that Italy and Germany are planning to negotiate a forma. 1 military alliance. But Blomberg will inspect representative units of all the branches of the army and air force of which Mussolini is so proud and will the guest of honor at a navy review off Gaeta, above Naples on the west coast.

It has been made plain to Europe that for the moment Germany and Italy are acting in close concert, particularly concerning Spain. Because of the course of the civil war and lack of active French or British opposition to the previous Fascist-Nazi policy, Mussolini is said to be convinced that neither power would fight to keep Italy and Germany from pushing the Nationalists to victory. Fascists deny that Italy wants to intervene directly and thus risk precipitating a European war. Nevertheless, they say pri- vately that if the worst came to the worst it would be better to run the danger of war than to permit "communists" to gain a Wedneeday, June 2, 1987 Ml STRIKE IN PWIIIC EISJ As regards the alleged "red TMf Ce is even charged in unofficial quarters that Soviet Russian agents are deliberating crimes against German and Ital- Warns Italy Diplomats attached considerable significance to yesterday's editorial in the newspaper II lc noon edition of the authoritative Giornale D'ltalia warning that Italy might be forced to send a punitive expeditionary force to Spain to suppress irresponsible foreign elements." II Piccolo took the view that the loyalist cabinet might be a "phantom in the- hands of these mysterious trouble makers Government spokesmen said 1 116 Piccolo article was not officially inspired. Authoritative sources denied reports that Italian warships were going to enforce a virtual blockade of the loyalist coast to keep out munitions ships, and particularly Russian ones.

They said that the Italian ships would be prepared to fight off any "red attacks --meaning loyalist attacks ---on Italian ships but that they would not engage in operations likely to precipitate a new crisis. Italy and Germany are boycotting the London non-intervention committee. M.isunaersra naihg whicH caused reports that Italy and Germany would virtually block the Spanish coast was explained today. An official informant disclosed that at the request of Great Britain Italy and Germany would continue to exercise port control even after withdrawing from non-intervention cooperation. This means that while their warships will cease active patrol work for the present, German and Italian officials at designated ports continue to check cargoes of ships I bound for Spain.

United Automobile Workers Are Directing Heads; Mayor Declares Rents are Lower Than 1928-29 June n7nfp a choruse an indignant protest today against a "rent strike which organizers predict will involve 15,000 tenants. "It's a short-sighted move asserted O. A. Slater, real estate man whose apartments house 200 families in the Pontiac area "Our rents are reasonable and must be even higher than they were before if capital is to be induced to advance money for more accommodations." "This is going to simmer, itself down to landlord or tenant," said Mayor Samuel P.

Landlords were reluctant to discuss the reactions of their own tenants. Charles Barker, chairman of the Pontiac group, and three other automobile workers who gave up their jobs to direct the "strike" here were laying plans for the defense in the first eviction case to result, scheduled to go to trial tomorrow before the circuit court commission. The strategy in eviction cases, as outlined by Barker, will be to stall and delay and make it as difficult as possible for landlords to do anything until rents are reduced." He said the "strike" already had elicited reductions from 200 landlords. What Congress Is Doing Today--Senate In recess. Wheeler committee resumes the railroad financing inquiry.
