THIS TOP COMMUNIST leadership is largely drawn from young intellectuals who picked up their Communism at English universities.

Conversant with all the ideas which float about in advanced circles, they have ready and fluent answers in excellent English for all the objections raised against their program. They have an especially good explanation how they changed from antiwar to pro-war when Russia was attacked by Germany, all without being dictated to by the Soviet. They have me mostly convinced that they would have changed of their own accord, although I cannot overcome the suspicion that they were dictated to just In case. This is a thought which they think rather stupid, together with the parallel thought that the Indian Communists get financial support from the Russian Communists. Or that they communicate with the Russian Communists.

"It's forbidden by law," they say piously as if anything that is forbidden by law would be as safe as a church in their keeping. Many of them got out of jail only when Russia's victories made her respectable in polite society. "Rut it's forbidden by law," they say piously now that they have been made legal. WASHINGTON, May 21.

A 2000-mile Army? Signal Corps telephone line from Edmonton, to Fairbanks, Alaska, capable of simultaneously carrying vocal, telegraphic and radio messages between those northwestern points of potential strategic importance, is "nearing completion," the War Department disclosed today. The new line will provide a direct link for the War De-partment in Washington with the Northwest Service Command. The War Department said the line will carry more than one radio message and one telegraph message at a time, without interfering with cenversations. and came Out as chief warrant boatswain and one of those rather offensively patriotic as nationalistic Americans. He believes in Americanism in the sense of the word that is most unpleasant to the Hollywood and Washington intellectuals and in the Americanization of alien immigrants as distinguished from the assimilation of Europeans coming here.

Lately, he nas been disturbed to hear that some advanced educators have been tampering with American history as he learned it and low rating it as a subject for study, anyway, and substituting the contemporary radical or despondent poets for the whiskered New Engenders of his own school days around Peoria. He is certainly out of tune. As we sat on the park bench, a friend of Bill's came along and they shook hands and Bill asked how his boy was getting along in the Air Force. WANTS TO SERVE "We lost him," friend said. "Over in New Mexico.

He got separated and around until he ran out of gas and had to land. He fractured hi? skull. No fire, though." Another friend, an Army captain much younger than Bill, came out to give him his hand and say gcodby. He had just got his orders. When he had gone, Bill Moon lit his pipe again.

He said he could see. cf course, that at 61 he probably couldn't go to sea again but still he knew a lot that some of the younger fellows would have to learn and why wouldn't it be possible to put him in some as an instructor? Not that he particularly wanted to quit liU job and break up his home and store the furniture. But. after all. there had been members of the Moon family in' every American war since the Revolution.

The rooms which are on two floors are about evenly divided between office quarters and living quarters. The principal difference is that the offices have chairs and no mattresses while the living quarters have no chairs but have mattresses.

They certainly have no front of prosperity in the material sense but, I believe, they suffer no inferiority complex on this account. They have a very go-ahead air. WE HAD DINNER at 7 o'clock which is about an hour and a half earlier than is customary in India. A gong rang and all the comrades, men and women, and the three small children assembled in the dining room, a narrow rectangle completely unfurnished except for mats on the floor.

He had served in the old Navy on a boat that was a veteran of the Civil War and in 1317 he went back as a chief boatswain's mate and was given command of the armed guard of 13 sailors aboard the U.S.S. Navajo, a 3000-tonner bound for Le Havre, not in convoy but on her own. She was one of the first four or five armed American merchantmen. As the tug tied loose from the Navajo, which was very low in the water, a fox terrier which had been romping on the tug, jumped overboard her and the tug's captain waved to ('apt. McDougal and yelled, 'We'll get her when you come back." Four days later she had four pups and a few days after that she went crazy from shock when the gun crew fired on a submarine, jumped overboard and was lost.

The Navy nursed the pups on condensed milk fed the rubber bulb of an eyedropper and the Navajo made Le Havre all right, then returned to England for a load of clay and started home.
