Traveler for 50 Years, Yet 'Never Had A Thrill' BY UAY PEACOCK AP Features Writer NEW YORK Between white- bearded Burton Holmes and myself there was a small, round-topped table. It wa.s, he said, "the only unpolluted bit of Paris left in the world." He stole the table from in front I of the Cafe dc la Paix In stole it ostentatiously, with the proprietor closing one eye and grinning cameramen recording the deed. The bald-faced bit of thicv- cry was related in newspapers all over the world. Holmes had been sitting at the table for years, and just wanted it. Much note of it was made in Japan.

Burton Holmes doesn't quite understand the Japanese any more, either. Their country was the first he visited when he began his singular profession of travel lecturing 50 years ago.

This is his golden anniversary year. Ont'c A Fairyland "I went to Japan ten limes," he told me. "At it was a fairyland. I saw a change coming in 1932, the last time I was there. Two little boys came up and spoke to mo in English.

They asked if I didn't think they had the best army and the best navy in the world. They said they would proudly die for their Emperor. "I said every country thought it had the best army and navy.

But he was not in Ihr least, for his business is better than at any time in the last half-dozen years. Two of hi.s most popular lectures now deal with North Africa and Russia, Pictures he took in Morocco 40 years ago now go vety well for contrast with rc- ones. Born in Chicago, Jan.

IJUV VICTORY BONUS OUR; V- SEfcVICE Lewis K. Colvin, who is stationed with the medical department at the army air base, Spokane, stopped in Amarillo several days while waiting for his plane to pass through there. He had been visiting his home folks at Bclva, but Sergeant Colvin is a native Texan and claims Pampa as his home. He is 25 years old, enlisted in the army in September, 1940. Sergeant Colvin was with a medical convoy that reached Honolulu on Dec.

23, 1941, to pick up casualties of the Jap raid on Hickam field and Pearl Harbor. His unit made the voyage aboard the S. S. Monterey, a luxury liner. Sergeant Colvin does not tell a story of fighting, for the Japs had already completed their brutal job.

Instead, his story is an account of the noble courage and unwavering wlll-powsr of injured soldiers, whose bodies were wrecked forever by bombs or bullets as they battled against desperate odds for 'the cause of freedom and democracy. He told of disabled soldiers who smiled in the face of the fact that they would never walk again, or perhaps sec again. These same soldiers were only a few days before strong, able- bodied Americans, imbued with the of aoocl health and well-being. "Although they had either lost legs, arms or eyes, or suffered other injuries of equal seriousness, none of them complained about their misfortune, but displayed a spirit of endurance and fortitude throughout the journey home," Sergeant Colvin said. "The boys hated the Japs and wanted to go back to fight, although few of them would ever have that opportunity again as most of them were permanently disabled." C.

Secret Service AP Features WASHINGTON Suppose you owned department store and that I your competitor hired 500 people to so Into your store and buy every- thini; you had in slock, giving you counterfeit money. You can guess the result.

Put, a the United States, for instance in your position as the store owner, and put another nation Japan, say in the place of the competitor. The effect on the economic structure of the United States would be devastating. The enemy would have you bc- licvt 1 that it could never happen in your country. That Is wishful thinking. because throughout the ages kings, statesmen and warriors have circulated counterfeits freely to the preat loss of those they we're anxious to Injure.

Napoleon Bonaparte was a counterfeiter as well as a conqueror. Counterfeit notes were used in purchasing for his invasions of Russia and Austria. Following the of the Declaration of Independence, the Continental congress issued continental currency. The British set about producing deceptive counterfeits and dumping them Into circulation. This strategy contributed extensively to the downfall of the colonial money, and the expression "not worth a continental" is in common use today.

A story of the Japanese occupation of Tientsin, China, tells of a neat trick employed by a patriotic Chinese engraver. The Jap Invaders seized him and forced him to engrave plates for counterfeit Chinese one-yuan notes. Part of the design of genuine notes depicts an old Chinese, the Imperial Tatao, holding- the scepter of his office in his hands. The captured engraver, however, changed the original design to show the scepter held under the arm of the figure, and the index finger of the right hand protruding from a circular opening made by the thumb and index finger of the left hand. The poso is humorous and symbolizes a form of contempt.

The use of bogus currency as an implement of war Is an old Japanese custom. In the Russo-Japanese war the treacherous Japanese established in Kobe, Japan, what was probably the most elaborate counterfeiting plant in history, costing approximately $100,000. There has been much talk of secret weapons. Is it unreasonable to assume that one of these much- hernlded aids to Axis victory may be veritable mountain of counterfeit money? ft is not only possible but probable that one or more of Axis powers holds such a weapon and Is awnitlnij the psychological moment to loose it in an avalanche. PHY VICTORY STAMPS TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1943 Mainly About Pampa And Her Neighbor Towns Traffic Death Drop Touches Bottom CHICAGO, March 30 The nation's traffic death in February were the lowest in 10 years', the National Safety council said today, but cited figures which it said indicated a stabilizing of the toll at levels from 40 to 50 per cent below those of 1941, the last pre-war year.

Although the 1,600 loll last month was 32 per cent below the February, 1942, totnl and 38 per cent lower than the all-time February high of 2,579 In 1941, the council said the figures provided additional evidence that the sharp declines in traffic deaths' that started last year with wartime restrictions, apparently had "touched bottom." "There is little basis for hope, 1 the council said, "that the nation can expect constantly increasing declines to result merely frpm wartime traffic restrictions. Our figures' indicate a stabilizing of the traffic toll at levels from 40 to 50 per cent below those of 1941, the last pre-war year when 30,969 persons were killed."
