THEY SAW IT THROUGH Now it is the Fourth of July again, and we turn "naturally to the memory of the day when the American declared their independence of Great Britain and became an independent nation. Let us not look hack at that day in 1776 through a rosy haze of historical fuddlement. When the bell rang in Philadelphia on that hot July day it was no signal for one great unanimous upswelling of joy. More than a year of war already lay behind the struggling colonies when Hancock wrote his bold signature; nearly seven more years of bitter struggle lay ahead.

It was no exercise in literary composition, that declaration, it was a decision. It was a decision of value only as it was made to stick with a cement of grit and -The-eountry was by no metans unanimous in the decision, any more than it is unanimous in decisions that are being made today. Many wagged their hennas and said "We Americans can't win," in words not unfamiliar. Others gloomily feared that the radicals were in the saddle and that even a successful separation from England would leave a country scarcely fit to live in. Some feared for their lives, some for their money and property.

Some found, it better business to seil their provisions and supplies to the British for gold than to the Continental Congress for depreciating paper. Some snottel at the possibility of a French not Louis XVI dictator and no fit company for good democrats? Some felt it would 'be better, cheaper in the long run, to pay unjust taxes than to fight a costly war. Some feared change itself as they felt their world slipping out from under them. Oh, they were not all heroes then, those founding fathers who plunked for independence on July 4, 1776. They were about like us, good and bad, strong and weak, and just middling.

They weren't giants, they were just people like us, with their "personal problems, likes, and dislikes. But in the end they-faced their crisis and they saw it through. When the time came, they decided, and having decided, they allowed neither domestic dissidents nor foreign enemies to stop them. That is the one thing to remember about the fore- beears whose Declaration of Independence we celebrate today. They wanted a world in which they could breathe the air freely.

They went out and got it. This Little Drake No Ugly Duckling By PAUL HABISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD.

In that case, you're in for a surprise.

Dona Drake is 20 years old, 5 feet tall without thoes, v.r.d is as lively and friendly as a spotted pup. She has blue-green eyes, chestnut hair and a figure that put her into a sarong alongside Dorothy Lamour in "Aloma of the South Seas." half Mexican and a quarter each of Irish and French. Night spots and swarms of pen- pie have no fascination for her because she was brought up in Manhattan; her father was a restaurateur off Broadway in the West Forties, and she became a cabar3t dancer at the age of 13 By now you may be wondering why you haven't hearl of Dona Drake.

That was in 1936. When the engagement was ended, Una and an older woman, Orrel Johnson, wnn had organized the first group, formed a bigger orchestra and out fcr themselves. The peppy leader now was called Rita Rio.

Early in 1940 the company had three high-priced specialty num- Wilson, Toby Wing and Faith Bacon. And the show did fine, except that there never was any money left for Rita Rio. Marie and Toby pointed out that their salaries were high because they were Hollywood personalities and that Rita go into pictures. She came here March 14, 1940, and on March 14, 1941, got a part in "Aloma of the South Seas" due to the insistence of Dorothy Lamour. At that time, as Rita Shaw, the youngster had had two screen tsts.

YVK, SYMBOL The Germans, who launched their most savage blitz against the British town of Coventry, showed some delight when the word "to Coventrize" was coined, ariLi Coventry became a sort of symbol of Nazidom's ruthless might. There is a further symbolism in Coventry, and one of more lasting power.

The diocese centered on the cathedral which was so brutally battered by the bombings is circulating i this word: "Coventry Cathedral will rise again to the glary of God, to demonstrate the triumph of good over evil. the war, it willbe built again. It phould be finer and more serv- iceable as a cathedral than the one we have On the drawing boards of the architects are also taking 1 shape plans for a whole new city, this also to be finer and mare serviceable than the town Hitler destroyed. Oh, yes, Coventry is a symbol, not a symbol of the Nazis' fury as they had hoped, but a symbol of the determination of free men' and women to build a belter world on the ruins or the old. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO July 4, 1916 Trains, street cars, boats and automobiles disgorged their thousands into this city arid nearby resorts today.

Holiday crowds, the advance thousands of which arrived yesterday, were reported as being among the largest ever gathered within the city limits. Hotels were crowded last night and over 400 people were directed to rooms in private residences from the Information Bureau offices. WASHINGTON This column has never been noted for undue partiality for Herbert Hoover. Before his unfortunate Presidency almost all his intimates whom I knew swore by him as a great guy. That included contemporaries clear back to his college days, Army comrades and relatives of mine in the Chinese Boxer Rebellion, and businesss associates.

Wc tangled a trifle in the World War when I was responsible first for man-power mobilization and later in a minor capacity for Army supply and industrial mobilization. He kept saying "food will win the war." My associates in a grimmer business resented that. We- tangled more violently later when George Peek, my partner and friend, began his long and ultimately successful light for what we called "equality for agriculture." All that is water over the dam. I have seen a good deal of Mr. Hoover in these lattui: 'lays He compares a lot closer itli the kindly philosopher and good rade my friends descr'bed to mc- in the prewar years than with what I considered a reactionary and dogmatic sour-puss some time later.

He is a wholesome, modest and considerate as any man with whom you would like to spend an evening settling the affairs of the world. The epidemic of measles, health statistics compiled in the office of the city director show, is spreading rapidly and during the past Of course, all this is leading up to something. Mr. Hoover made a carefully considered speech in everything we have, neither moral, military nor economic judgment indicates that we should begin actual shooting war one moment before it is necessary. With some of what Mr.

Hoover said, this column cannot agree. With much of what he said, and certainly with its fundamental principle, it does agree. That isn't the point of this piece. That point is the character of the protest that immediately followed. Navy Secretary Frank Knox, the ex-rough rider, came out like the bad man from Bitter Creek, rootin', tootin' and shootin' for all-out war tomorrow.

O. K. Frank, everybody had your number, and if that is the way you feel about it you're stuff and God bless you. You always were what the real cattle hands out west, in the old days, called a Siegel-Cooper (or order) cowboy and you do and always have honestly and conspicuously represented your point of view. Eut the reaction that gives me a pain in the neck is that of our amateur columnar strategists.

Take this from fellow pontifex, Walter Lippman. The danger that Stalin may lose Siberia to Hitler would put the latter on our Alaskan border which ought to have the "full attention of all who not only wish to put America first but also know how to put ter. "Fight?" It reminds me of a sales manager's pep conference "we've got to think" and the office boy got fired for muttering "with what?" Also Major George Fielding Eliot dismisses Mr. Hoover as an ignoramus in military craft and statecraft, and on somewhat similar grounds. Far be it from me to pass lightly the opinions of these respected friends of mine and that isn't just lawyers' lard about "my distinguished and learned opponent." The value of this very necessary debate would be distinctly impaired without the contributions of these two studious, hard-working and earnest commentators.

But it is going pretty far to dismiss Mr. Hoover as an ignoramus. He is perfectly correct in minimizing any Nazi threat to Alaska through Siberia. The lines of communication are too long and thin and the country is too forbidding. It is war-mongering "booshwa" and build-up.

Let's not forget, in evaluating these charges of ignorance, that next to the President, Mr. Hoover, under heavy responsibility, has a greater experience in these matters, especially in this area, than any American. Let's not forget another thing: the President isn't joining in this clamor. He is properly encouring free debate. But in the field of action and regardless of the gammer- ings of his end-men, his conduct has been so discreet, well-balanced and far-seeing that I'm strangely getting a sort of urge I can't see much difference between the President's policy and iwhen the big boss kept Hoover's speech.

BURTON HEATH NEW The nation's economists, who have been very discouraging in their predictions about what will happen-after war, whoever wins, do not consider all the terrible prophecies to be inevitable.

By taking thought for the morrow and then acting upon It, most of them believe that the shock can be cushioned- A few are optimistic enough to think that we could avert an after-the-war depression complexly, but most are content to suggest that we can lessen Its Impact. As aways happens in Huch matters, the experts differ widely in detail- While 80 percent of the 480 who answered a recent questionnaire expressed optimism, they did not get together very well as what measures would accomplish the desirable results they suggested. Hundreds of ideas were proffered, many reminiscent of 1932-33-3-1 From Princeton came a formula entailing elaborate plans or large- scale useful public projects be started by the news flash announcing an armistice: systematic public works, particularly re-housing, based on government loans; private activity under government stlmula tlon and perhaps some control; credit machinery for extensive exports, especially of foodstuffs- An Ohio State professor suggests that meanwhile we might suspend WPA and similar projerts until defense pro duction is out of the way- A Harvard savant suggests that the only bar to post-war depression would be an industrial policy of producing more goods at lower cost and selling them at. smaller prices- Industry would welcome a workable formhla for this. Russians in New York appear, from their conversation, to be overwhelmingly more anti-Communist than anti-German.

Sentimentally, and practically so far as they have opportunity, this group will throw its influence to Hitler at lease until the Stalin regime has been ousted. For boring from within, the Czailsts are not without potentialities notwithstanding their limited numbers. These refugees all have personal scores to settle with the Bolsheviki- None of them has lost hope and faith that some day he can regain the position in Russia that he lost in the 1917 revolutin- Craving complete restoration and dominance, most will settle for an influential voice in their country's affairs. Out of a Nazi victory, they feel that they might realize thcis long-stymied ambition- They have forgotten long since that the Kaisei'a Reich supported revolutionary movements in Russia during the World War, as a means of terminating the conflict on the Eastern Front so that Germany might concentrate on France, Brit ain and the U- S. They onslder it extraneous that much German money was sent into Russia to finance the revolt, and that General Hoffman's suggestion that Lenin be taken through Germany in a sealed car from Switzerland to spark the conflagration was given the Kaiser's approval.

The Whites give Germans equal credit with Allied countries for the post-war Free CorpR that liberated the Baltic provinces and Finland from Soviet control. Russian support for Hitler, while he is destroying Stalin, does not presuppose anything about the future. The refugees assume that once the Soviet has been replaced by another regime the Reich will plan to make that new government a creature of Berlin's- that moment the native anti-Bolsheviki may be expected to divert their energies to creating or supporting a counterrevolutionary movement within the new Nazi Russia. The average White Russian is extremely patriotic, the more so because of the years he has been in exile longing for good old days when he and his friends were cocks of the walks. He wants to see the re -establishment of a powerful empire far as possible, would resirt permanent control of their country by any outsider- They would fight against the division of Russia Into small sovereign parts.

They will go along: only until Communism la crushed, and then oppose anything which seem to them against the Interests of Mother Russia. GOODWILL- The most significant concerto step toward effective Good Nelghborllness between the U. S. and Argentina, thus far. is an agreement under which our Department of Agriculture -will not impede importation of fresh, chilled or frozen lamb or mutton from TjeiTa del Fuego.

which zone is free from hoof-and-mouth disease, it is estimated that some 4,000 tons a year will come In under the arrangement. The Argentine has been battling for 15 years for the concession which this step implies- For six years the U- S. Chamber of merce in Buenos Aires repeatedly has urged Washington to relax the complete ban upon fresh moats from the Latino republic, in the Interest of good will and increased trade- Domestic meat Interests have alwaye opposed, thought it was pointed out that all of Patagonia's mutton and lamb exports together would not make more than one meal a year for each family In the U- S. The current arrangement does not affect the prohibition on Argentine beef, but there now is hope that this also may be lifted. Meanwhile" sheep raising is very important in the South American country, and the industry's good will is worth having.

Argentina ranks fourth among the world's nations in shepherding, with 44 million animals.

ENNSYLVANIA was one of the states, which had, at the outbreak of the World war. a complete division of National Guard troops within the state. The Keystone division, designated the Twenty-eighth division, trained at Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga.

It sailed, for France in May, 1918. Units within the division claim histories that date back to the American Revolution. Later the organization served with the Union army. In 1878 the scattered components were combined into a single division which has continued since. In France, the division served in the sector southeast of June 30 to July 3 lTTncludlng defensive and offensive operations along the Marne; Vesle aector.

Aug. 7 to Sept. 8. The "Iron Division." as the Twenty-eighth was sometimes dubbed, participated in the Meuse- Argonne operation, Sept 20 to Oct. 9.

and in the Thiaucourt sector, Oct 16 to Nov. 1. The division was in active sectors 49 days and in the so- called quiet areas 31 days. It advanced 10. kilometers against the enemy, capturing 921 men (including 10 offi-, cers), 16 artillery pieces and 63 machine guns.
