If * * * rhave not love, I am nothing.—1 Corinthians 13:2. We are
extremely charitable toward our own sins, but very severe toward other ;
sinners. We should first cast out the beam in our own eye and then we
could see more clearly the mote in our brother’s eye.
Individual Strength Needed
¥ ET us hope that the defense department does not now pro-
ceed to make so much of its new prisoner-of-war code of
conduct that fighting men are encouraged to surrender in
the future. Naturally the government’s goal is exactly the
reverse.
Continued resistance clearly is vital to the entire fighting
effort. Easy surrender could damage our cause immeasurably.
Nevertheless, assuming that some men inevitably would
yield, the government wants them equipped with standards
of conduct that will stiffen their resolve under the pressures
they would surely face.
In this regard, the Korean war was a shocking, eye-open-
ing lesson. Communist barbarism outdated old ideas of prison-
er conduct.
jy/IEN were pressed to sign false statements of guilt of alleged
germ warfare, to “rat” on their prisoner comrades in
many ways, to accept and then preach communism with the
aim of weakening the UN’s fighting resolve.
America may be proud that in the face of these almost
unprecedented devices so few of its fighting men yielded.
More than a third who were taken prisoner died in captivity.
Of the 4428 surviving prisoners out of an original 7190, only
192 were found chargeable with serious offenses against either
their comrades or the United States government.
Still, the damage was sufficient and the peril in the future t,v** are to 9“ai[d v'"° Sand, the
great enough to warrant a new code of conduct to meet the v'c own*r’ u someona as iust

into the surrounding gloom. With

quite clearly. It was'an enchanting
night.

It notes that many U.S. soldiers who were captured cared
little for politics, and had slight command of U.S. history and
government. Often their Red interrogators knew more than
they did. Thus they offered mental vacuums into which the
Reds poured their propaganda.
A military code may tell Americans what is expected of
them. But only an alert home, school and church can give
them the moral force to want to resist, and the knowledge
that will tell them how and why to resist.
One more point. Such a code should not be so rigidly
applied as a measure of conduct that it leaves little room for
human compassion.
Sympathy for the tortured is easy to muster. But we must
not forget that men are not equal in their capacity to resist
pressures of many sorts. We must view every case as in-
dividual, with one eye on the stability of our fighting forces scared,
and the other on the natural frailty of i

had circled the promenade deck,

just a little more than necessary.
“I found no trace of the assail-

What a silly way to talk.

The trouble was that in all my
life I had known, or even known
of, only one complete master of
the difficult art of knife-throwing.
That master was Bertram Lynch.
He had learned it, he once told me,
in Marseilles. He was convinced
that for his needs, it was the per-
fect weapon. Like his peculiar
trade, it was silent, secret. And al-
most impossible to associate with
anyone so invincibly British as
himself.
To my surprise. Lily Wyndam
was still on deck.
“A gallant pair, I must say!”
“Who? Me?”
“You’re not a pair, big as you
are. 1 mean you and Viggo. Dart-
ing off like that leaving me alone
with a murderer at large. I think
modern men are just dicky!”
“I’m terribly sorry, 1 just didn’t

“Never mind. There’s no >one on
this barge who knows me well .
enough to murder me. Except Vig-1
go. And 1 had my eye on him. \tfho
do you think it was?”
“I don’t know.”
“What an amusing mind! Why |
aren’t you looking for that knife-
thrower?”
“Because I haven't the dimmest I
notion where to look.”
“An honest answer, Deane. An
honest answer. Since you're not i
pressed then, I’ll tell you why I I
lingered here to chat with you.”
“Yes?”
“To tell you that Viggo is an

Three-ish. Anyway, I
was sound asleep.”
“How pretty you must look.”
“Down, Rover,” said Lily mat-
ter-of-factly. “I heard someone
running, Someone who stumbled
with a loud bang against my door.
The first thing 1 did, naturally, was
to reach out to turn on the light by
my bed. It didn’t go on. Nothing
happened. So I went to the door and
opened it just the least bit and
peeked out. That big, mean-looking
German—lleitzig, I think his name
is—who is the night watchman or j
something, was rattling Braun’s j
doorknob. He had a flashlight. The '
next minute, Viggo appeared. He
had a flashlight too. He was wear-
ing, one could hardly help but no-
tice, bright red pajamas. He looked
like a fire truck. Then Braun—his
cabin, on this side of the ship, is
just beyond my step-mother’s, and
mine is next to her’s. Number D,
In fact—”
“Thank you.”
| “A detective should know these
things. I was saying, Braun man-1
aged to get his door open from j
inside and came wobbling out into j
the corridor. You gather there were I
no lights there either? Apparently
the main switch had failed.”
“Or someone had pulled it.”

Dr. Lund’s cabin is just between
yours and mine.

and whispery coming and going
while, I suppose, Braun got himself
swabbed off and tied up.”

patience with her black Labrador I
pup, Casey, who was dragging;

Englewood. Colo.
pHERRY HILLS, the plush
country club in Englewood has
annually one of the most interest-
ing tournaments in the golfing
world. Each member of the club
is permitted to invite a celebrity
irrespective of his golfing ability
to play in this Hillsdilly tourna-
ment, to be a guest of the club
and is guaranteed the privacy of
a goldfish in a bowl. Galleries
and spectators are barred from
the grounds but who is to keep
them from lining the small foot-
age of public road from which a
mere glance can be had. The
Three Musketeers are somewhat
better off than most in that a
girl friend lives in the home ad-
joining the club and the boys are
invited to inspect the fences every
day of the tournament if they
wish.
The tournament is a 36-hole
medal play, full handicap, 4-ball
event with each team in action
Tuesday and Thursday or Wed-
nesday and Friday. Randolph
Scott and Dean Martin were
among the celebrities playing
Tuesday but Diz Dean was just
practicing. Diz holed out from
off the green and commented
that such 40 foot putts were con-
ceded in Texas but in Colorado
you have to hit ’em in the hole.
TkEL WEBB, co-owner of the
•J New York Yankees, arrived
Tuesday and Bob Hope was due
to arrive later in the day. Bob
will be teamed with former Gov-
ernor Dan Thornton, Generals
Bradley and Harmon, General
Rosy O’Donnell and Mayor Will
Nicholson and Notre Dame’s
Frank Leahy and Jack Vickers
son of the polo player of that
same name who was well known
to many El Reno sports lovers.
The word gets around that the
Hillsdilly is that which there is
none whicher and an invitation
is sought for with greater avid-
ity by celebrities than any other
ducats in the entertainment
world. If what I have heard about
the Hillsdilly is true, twenty-four
hour entertainment with the club
picking up .the check, I’m not
surprised at the longing for the
bids.
Cherry Hills is the club where
President Eisenhower plays golf
during his Denver vacation but I
expect he will go fishing during
the remaining days of the Hills-
dilly. A fellow, no matter how
good a sport, protected by guards
and attended by staff couldn’t
have any fun at such a formation
and nobody knows the penalties
of being top brass better than
Ike. Oh! Well! One can't run
with the hare and hunt with the
hounds. He must make a choice.
Atom Law Topic In
New Publication
CHICAGO, Aug. 27 —HP— A law
publishing firm has announced a
new publication to cater to a fast-
growing field, the law of atomic
energy.

of Chicago, specialists in tax and
legal law, report that civilian use
of atomic energy is creating a mul-
titude of new legal problems.
The new publication will be call-
ed “Atomic Energy Law Reports.”

health and safety,' workmen’s com-
pensation, insurance, transporta-
tion, security and other subjects.
Lesson in English
WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do
I not say, "We are contemplating on
moving.” It is much better to say,
I “We are considering moving.”
OFTEN MISPRONOUNCED:
Virile. Pronounce the first i either
1 as in vine or as in vim.
I OFTEN MISSPELLED: Baring
I (uncovering). Barring (excluding).
Bearing (carrying).
SYNONYMS. Hole, hollow, cave,

WORD STUDY: “Use a word
three times and it is yours.” Let
us increase our vocabulary by mas-
tering one word each day. Today's
word: SUBMISSION; yielding to
power or authority. "Your submis-
[ sion to his demands would mean
slavery.”
Problem a Day
A printer has two presses. His
larger press can print a certain
job in 4 hour^.. Ijf both presses
print it, the'time is 2 2/5 hours.
How long would it take the smaller
press to print the job alone?
ANSWER
6 hours. The fractional part done
by the larger press in 1 hour equals
1/4; 5/12 represents the part done
by both presses in 1 hour; subtract
1/4 from 5 12; divide into 1.
