Alton, HI. National Adr.rUtttif Oiteaic, Pttrpft 25 Years Ago The Lovejoy Memorial Colby College, at Waterville, if seeking to $300,000 to house a school of journalism snd endow a chair In jouralitm as a memorial to Elijah PJ Lovcjoy, first martyr to freedom of speech arid liberty of the press. Lovejoy was the most dii- tiiigtwhed alumnus of Colby College. Hit determina- to speak and what he believed right led him to a martyr's grave in the Alton Cemetery, where hit only tangible memorial may be teen, if we are to forget the tpiritual memorial in the tremendoui iniprenion he made on the thinking of a people. But that impression left by his words and his life, together with hi) tragic death, ii, after all, a profound intangible memorial to the man whose courage never faltered in insisting on the right to speak and to write and to print what he pleased so long as it wai lajvful so to do.

The Alton Telegraph potasses the only tangible relic of Lovejoy. The pasting of 109 yean hat effaced all else. Probably under hii gravestone not a frag- mbit of hit bones remains. But the frame of his broken printing prets, for nine on display in the Telegraph building in Alton, Is the only visible relic the hands of Lovejoy ever touched. True, the people of Alton and the State of Illinois combined to erect a monument which overlooks the Miuissippi river at Alton, and Thomas Dimmock, 31 yean af Lovejoy's death, set up a stone to his memory.

But there is nothing to his memory such si Colby College proposes to erect. Colby plans a place fo students of journaliim to be taught in an atmosphere where the spirit of Lovejoy is to be kept alive. Hs principles of freedom pi speech and liberty of th: press are to be the basis of the instructions young aspirants for journalism training are to receive. At a newtpaper which was a contemporary of Lcvejoy in Alton, and which printed the first pub- liiied account of his death st the hands of a mob, At Telegraph indorses the movement at Colby to pe -petuate in lives of men and women the principle! fcr which Lovejoy wai the first to give his life, rtii fifht against slavery was just one line of expression his courageous mind was to use to enforce en joy- mint of freedom he always insisted was a primary rijht of man. Alton people would be serving well their com- mmity if they make liberal contributions to the Colby College fund.

The Divorce Evil One of the repercuuioni of the war has been the increase in marital difficulties that have developed from long separation of couples. Absence seems to hare made some hearts grow freedom from responsibility, With the stimulation of curiosity stripped off divorce cases, the modern trend presents a picture of the hectic philosophy that accompanies selfish- and lagging morals. Modern couples who shed mates, like the snake theds its akin each year, have a distorted view of married life. Even the laws that bind marriage cannot make the institution the basis of civilized development unless populations return to the belief that the marriage contract is tacred. Farsighted persons foresee a tragic obstacle to regress and peace in the accelerated, pace of divorces in the United States.

More strict divorce laws vould help the situation immediately, but in the long run, the ben insurance for the continuance of tie institution of marriage is popular censure of divorce. Divorce St not fashionable. It is an easy way out far couples who haven't got the old-fashioned fortitude to make a go of it. With the exception of a few divorce cases which are the only solution in some cases where the marriage can only breed tragedy, there arc few couples in divorce courts today who could not find some better way to settle their difficulties. Sociological studies have demonstrated that children of divorced parents are handicapped by the rift.

If, for no other reason than to give the kids a break, married couples who find themselves approaching the ilivorce court should think of someone besides themselves for a change. The Screw Turns The dikes of price control seem to be giving way a of vital spots. Tht Secretary of Agriculture is talking about a six-cent boost in the price of butter, which, coupled with the ending of gov- itrnment subsidies, would result in an 18c per pound increase. This would add an estimated quarter-bil- ion dollars to the food bill, with an impartiality unrelated to income. Higher prices for steel art in the cards, too, an increase which will affect all of us, although more indirectly.

Steel goes into a multiplicity of everyday articles, from autot down to "tin" cans and hairpins. Higher steel will give manufacturers of many other articles a potent argument for increased prices. So goes the spiral of inflation, with a twist up- vard here today, and there tomorrow. The steel- nalwn blame demands for higher at the naton for asking higher prices. In a year the itetlworkcrs come back to demand new increases in pay on the new increaitt in pcicw.

Okinawa Campaign Should Be Studied By Impartial Body By IMVTO LAWRENCE WASHINGTON, 10. The story of what happened ot Okinawa, where the most decisive battle of the Pacific war was fought, comes out piece by piece. After a long silence and a peculiar bit of suppression by officialdom, the New York announces in a Washington dispatch that our total casualties at Okinawa were 79,507 instead of 45,029, as reported nt Guam when organized resistance was declared broken on June 21st last.

"Front-line correspondents," says the Times dispatch, "reporting the battle of Okinawa were aware of the large number of non-baitle casualties suffered in the fighting for that Island, but their efforts to report them to the public when the Island was In the news were prevented by Admiral Nimitz's censors. Navy-controlled censorship limited reporters to the total casualties reported in the admiral's communiques. Although the non-battle casualty figures were made available to reporters by Tenth Army Headquarters on a day-to-day basis, the fact that they were officially supplied army figures was not sufficient to bring about clearance publication by the navy's censors. "The new total includes 21,342 army, 16,313 marine and 9,721 navy battle casualties. Non-battle casualties were 21,592 for the army and 10,881 for the marine corps.

On the basis of these figures it now Is clear that the battle for Okinawa was the toughest, costliest single engagement of our offensive in the Pacific." The navy has announced that it lost more ships, both sunk and damaged, off Okinawa than in any other naval engagement In American history. Likewise the naval olr commanders reveal that they were using airplanes from aircraft carriers to cover the ground troops for several task unexpectedly devolving on the navy. Lieut. Gen. Roy S.

Gelger, who was in command of marine divisions on Okinawa under the late Gen. Buckner of the army, made a significant revelation the other day before the Senate military affairs committee which undoubtedly had reference to Okinawa. He said: "A good example of the results of this lack of perception to which I refer, and in a field in which I feel qualified to speak is that of the matter of close air support. The army air force and marine corps aviation developed this along parallel lines for several years after the last war, until the air force suddenly abolished its attack aviation on the theory that nir power could be better applied against over-all objectives than to be frittered away helping the.manjbn the ground. The result of that decision was that the army soldier at least In the Pacific, got little effective close support from the army air fact pf deep concern to army ground commanders, whose point of view Is clearly expressed in the report of an army air force evaluation board, headed by a central officer, and dated about a year ago." Then Gen.

Gciger discloses that the much-talkecl-of unity of command didn't exist in the Pacific in some important matters. Hfl aays "The 20th Strategic Air Force, which operated from the Marianas never came under the Pacific command on which it was entirely dependent for its bases and for its supply. It was operated by remote control from here in Washington." Along with this has developed an interesting question as to why the troops nt Okinawa did not have support from the army air forces and why certain suicide bases were not attacked and why the strate gic air forces protested against di version from over-all targets in Japan to assist in the battle on Okinawa. AH these questions go to the root of the So-called unity of command controversy but the; also are related to the fact tha the casualties on Okinawa were sc large. The whole Okinawa" cam piiign ought to be studied by an impartial board selected from al armed services and, if it is, more will be learned about how to in tcgrate and unify the armed serv ices in a theater of war than couk possibly be derived from theoret ical discussion of a paper setup in Washington.

The Daily WASHINGTON MERRY GO -ROUND By Drew Pearson Pearson Lists Three Events That Roused Wrath of GIs WASHINGTON, Jan. ng by the flood of telegrams de- uglng this columnist many ol from Europe and the Pacific events last week raised G. wrath to the highest boiling point yet. They were: 1.

The War Department's official slow-down of demobilization. 2. Secretary of War Patterson's red-faced admission In Guam that didn't know the elementary fact that overseas veterans stopped accumulating points on V-J Day. 3. Announcement by Gen.

Joseph McNarney, new European commander, that low-point men might now home quicker than point men whose services were more essential. This, of course, paves the' way for the return of senators' sons, football players, and anyone with political they make themselves suff- ciently non-essential. G. were quick to see the significance of this. In addition to resentment, there was immediate determination to make themselves just as non-essential as possible.

In other words, the army now puts a premium on inefficiency. The man who does a good job has to stay on. The man who does a poor job and is non-essential, can come home. Secretary Patterson's fumble regarding the point system convinced a lot of people that Patterson was letting the brass hats run the show and didn't know what they were doing. Once before, he aroused G.

I. resentment when he ordered the discharge of Georgia football star Charles Trlppi at the request of two Georgia despite the fact that. Trlppi was low-point typist, and typists are classified as essential. Truman Didn't Know Either President Truman added to the conviction that his administration is blindly letting the brass hats run things when he attended a Saturday night party thrown by Gen. Hap Arnold at the Boiling Field Officers' Club.

Officers who had planned dates several days in ad vance arrived with girl friends only to find the club barred. Without advance notice, Gen. Arnold had taken over both floors and every as security to protect the life of the President Those who know Harry Truman's habit of mingling with folks say that he never would have consented to having the entire club taken over on his account If he TOONERVILLE FOLKS By Fontaine Fox So They Say- It ii beginning to look more and more as though any nation which spends 5100,000,000 or more to build ant twtUwhlp Is putting in a tingle bosket a lot ot tggi which might ba better used In other ways.

Higher Clothing Prices OPA officials are sitting down this week with representatives of the textile industry especially worsteds and try to spur production of men's clothing. Nubbin of the problem is increased prices, which the textile people demand in order to spur production. However, they are not likely to get it. Inside fact is that profits of the woolen and worsted industry are now 12 times what they were during pre-war years. Furthermore, a sample of civilian sales shows profits from civilian trade are twice as high as military to army-navy renegotiations.

Despite these lush profits, woolen mills want'more "adjustments" before making more fabrics for returned veterans; also despite the fact that reduced taxes now prom-, ise an even better profit. NOTE Friends of Gen. Patton, whose family owns one of the largest woolen mills, say he would never have favored high profits at the expense of clothes for returned veterans, were he alive.
