AIR BASE IN SARDINIA, March 16 (Delayed) There was nothing unusual about the conversation. I've heard it a Hundred times or more whenever airmen get to talking about the front line infantrymen. It started when the sandy-haired Marauder pilot from California mentioned the day's mission, a bombing job just ahead of the Fifth army front, and added: "I hope we did those doughboys some good. God knows they need it. They've got the toughest job of the war." It was the same thing a thousand airmen have said before.

The front line infantryman has no stauncher friends, no stronger sympathizers, than the'air crews who support his struggling ad forces now overseas, Private Mil- ford of Camp Forrest, and Louise and Earl at home. MRS. IDA MAT LONG Mrs. Ida May Long died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.

Roy Goshorn, superintendent of the State hospital at Hollidaysburg, speaking at a social meeting of the congregation of Jaggard Methodist church Saturday, night, said the mental cases developing from this war are the greatest of any war in history. Dr. Goshorn said it has been discovered that a majority of those who suffer mental or nervous breakdowns In combat are boys and young men from 18 to 25. He said a principal contributing factor to mental disorders among young combat troops is the sight of their friends being killed. Dr.

Goshorn also observed that no new mental disorders so far have appeared in this war, although studies now are being made of brain damage due to concussion from exploding bombs and shells, He assured his listeners, too, that they need have no fear for the future of the returning serv' icemen. He pointed out that after World war the servicemen quickly turned to their church and government, and soon the entire country was in their hands. Thus, he said, will be this-time. The boys will want their own future when they come back, and they will plan and make it themselves. For this reason, he said, he had little confidence in too many efforts at making postwar plans for them; they'll want to make their own plans, he said.

Arid added, it 'will not 'be long until they are running the country.

Mr. Bryan Says State Agencies Can Help Farmer, HARRISBURG, March 26 Commonwealth agencies can help farmers in the solution of new and difficult problems expected to arise i i the post-war era. Agriculture Secretary Miles Hoist believes. "When the war is over and war-torn nations of the world are assisted in replenishing food and livestock supplies," Horst told the faculty and students of the school of agriculture at Pennsylvania State college recently, "farm problems will be such that maximum service will be required of every available agency." He listed those agencies which can aid farmers as instructional, research and extension services of the Pennsylvania State college school of agriculture, and the various services of such departments as highways, forests and waters, internal affairs, public instruction and commerce as Lawyers Urge World Court vance.

But this guy who was quietly giving others credit for having the "toughest job of the war" was a veteran of approximately 50 combat missions. He had seen scores of his buddies shot down. He himself had been shot down once. He had carried dead and wounded crewmen out of his flak shredded ship. But he said the doughboy bas the toughest job.

"Boy, that's right, we've got it soft compared to them," said the curly headed co-pilot from Illinois. There was nothing new about that sentence, either. But the curly head's 30-odd combat missions hadn't been exactly soft. Several times he had helped bandage seriously wounded crewmen and then helped fight the crippled ship back home. Once the plane had been shot down.

WASHINGTON, March 26 (IP) A universal community of states with a general assembly and an executive council to regulate the world according to law was recommended for the post-war world today by a group of prominent authorities on international law. Nearly 200 American and Canadian judges, practicing lawyers and teachers of law, spent 62 days in 30 conferences during the past two years drawing up their ideas on how to preserve peace and promote human welfare after the war. The plan.which appears to resemble a league of nations with at least the plates where teeth can be inserted, is based upon the idea that member states have international duties along with International rights. Membership would be universal, with no provision for states to withdraw or be expelled. A general assemblj' representatives from all states, present and future would decide most questions of world community interest by a simple majority vote.
