"M.urder at the Pump," the melodramatic skit which won first place for the Speech 345 class in the Stunt Show last Thursday night, was written by Gora Turner, a former student of Eastern
struggle. I see democracy disappearing from America as she feveri�hly devotes every effort, every thought, every ounce of her resources she can scrape from the ground toward a desperate prep" a.ration for that struggle.
I see the hasty a;bandorunent of any attempt to solve her problems in a democratic fashion. I see not a temporary dictatorship, lbut a permanent one. I see America's allies spurning her one by one just as she has spurned them today. I see American cities bombed.
And even despite all this, I can see America winning the struggle in the end_,but at what cost! Democracy will be dead. The world will be a shambles of rotting corpses and wasted resources. Gone will be any hope for the better world that might have been. Gone will be all the promise of human security and happiness that the twentieth century had to offer. Gone-all gone -because a great nation refused to face i:ts responsibility!

Jimmy Young Brings Wealth of Experience in Lecture Monday
Many people have called Jimmy Young, American journaUst, who will speak at Eastern, July 28, at 8 p. m. in the health education building, the best friend that Japan has had among the foreign journaiists because he reported the news as it happened. His readers got a true idea of what was happening in the great Empire of the E'ast..
For the last ten years he has been Far Eastern Director of the International News Service with headquarters in Tokyo. In addition to thb he was manager of the American owned Japan Advertiser, largest a:-id most influential English language paper in the Orient. He also found time to act as Far Eastern Sales Representative of King Features Syndicate and managed an advertising agency.
But a.II this ended. Jimmy Young landed in an unheated Tokyo jail cell and was held incommunicado. He had just r.eturned from a 9,000 mile trip into the heart of unoccupied China where he h!lid gone to get the story of the other side of the war, being the first foreign correspondent to reach the back-country headquarters of Generalissimo Chh;iig Kai Shek at Chungking. Writes As He S ees It
He wrote the story as he saw it. The Japanese army claimed that they had been libelled, threw him in jail, convicted him in a secret court sPss:cn and held him in jail for 61 clays. His release was finally brought :l!bout through the American Amha&sad01"s effort3 as well as through the efforts of nine independent Japanese committees that voluntarily o:·ganized to fight in his behalf.
On domestic conditions in Japan, Young states 1that Christianity, democracy and Mreign business are suppressed. All denominational organizations, .Protestant and Catho!ic, have !been ordered dissolved, and priests and preachers intimiclated or jailed, a pattern mindful of the Pastor Hall film and the Nierr1oller case in Germany, for it is the experience od' foreigners in Japan in the past two years, 1that German agents stationed in Tokyo are responsible for the increasing pre.>sure on missionaries, newspaper ruen and educators who come from 1 .. on-totalitarian countries. Military drills are being enforced in place o[ worship at denominational schools 2.nd students are required to visit national Shinto shrines. Americans Show Pessimism
"Americans have become increasugly pessimistic over the outlook for business with Japan, notwithstanding large orders for American goods. The present shipments from the United States are for war ;purposes and some day we may face the paradox of defending ourselves against our own supplies of war ma.terials, which should indeed redden some faces, in Washington among those persons responsible for signing export permits allowing· for such goods to be supplied to the Jaipanese army and navy."
"Economically and militarily, Japan's condition is much worse than appears on the surface. The internal situation is heading for a breakup. The Japanese, as
'revealed by
!former) Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka, face their ,greatest crisis this year, and .for the first time in many decades, they have passed through their gloomiest New Year season. That gloom is rather extensive since Japanese New Year event:> continue through 1the middle of January," Young states.

Zamzam Survivor Speaks in Chapel
Recounts Adve n tures As Ge r m a n Passe nger
"We must b e more than conquerors.
We must be builders--0n the basis
of righteousness and love, so that aJI men can have the rights which justly belong to them." Thus did Reverend W. H. Edwards summarize his belief,s in regard to the present world situation in the light of his experiences when he spoke before the regular assembly at 9 :20 a. m. yesterday.
Reverend E'dwards' experiences are vivid, for he has twice survived the sinking of a ship at the hands of German raiders while crossing 1he Atlantic. Reverend and Mrs. Eclwards, who is an E'astern graduate and their son were among Lhe survivors of the Athenia disaster a year ago last spring.
His second adventure in the "ibattle of the Atlantic" came while he was headed for his missionary assignment in Africa on board the Zamzam, which was sunk on April l'i. He recounted this experience in his speech. Leave Cold Climate
"We set ·sail on March 20,
and soon got out of the cold northern climate and down into the warm southern climate.
"We hadn't blacked out until we got near Brazil, but from there on we iblacked out every night. We started on a southeasterly course toward Capetown, and five days out from B11azil, we received a sudden radio message, warning us that there was a mysterious ship ahead.
"In a few hours we began to think we had eluded the mysterious boat. But in the early mocning hours of April 17, two days later, we were awakened by the shelling of our ship. We could hear the shells cracking al la.bout us, although only 10 shells ,actually hit the ship.
"We soon found that three of the boat shad heen completely destroyed by shellfire, as had the ship's radio. We got all the women on board the lifeboats. Everyone had to climb over the side of the ship and clown ropes. Shellfire Riddles Boats
"It was a desperate situatio!lj. Many boat.s had. been riddled by shells and leaked water raipidly.
"To our great surprise the Ger
man raider ship then came up to us, and within an hour and a half all the passengers ancf crew of the Zamzam were taken aboard.
"When we got on board we had to pile our lifebelts aside. The Germans looted the Zamzam. Then after aibout eight hours they sank the boat with a time bomb. The first thing they had us do was give up our pa·3spor,ts and everything of value on our person.
"Then we were herded into. the bottom of the boat. It was very warm.
"They told us that if anything unforeseen happened they would ring all the bells. And just before midnight, the bells set up a clamor. And our guards promptly closed all the doors. Half an hour later they explained that it was not a ship of war that had a;ppeared, but another steamer that they had tried to contact. It was the steamer, Dresden, on which we were to be placed. Board Other Ships
"By 2 o'clock in the afternoon we were all on board this steamer. The raider that had sunk our vessel, I
could then see, was a mystery ship. She sailed high out of the water and the guns on her were hidden.
"So we started our new life on the Dresden. Men and women were again sepanaited. We men, 107 in all, were herded up in front into a small hatch. We were shown a pile of sacks and several bales of cotton. F':·om this, each of us was per,mitted to make his own bed on the floor. Each W!liS given a little enamel soup bowl, an aluminum cup, a cheap spoon, towel and little piece of soa;p as kitchen and toilet uten-

Anything Goes ...

fresh as she left the second-grade pupils after a hard morning's work; for she , along with Ttenna Lee Brown and Wilma Nichols had been helping the youngsters churn milk to make b utter. After the butter ha d been properly patted, etc. , they all had a trea.t by spreading it on their graham crackers in the midmorning snack. What really makes one wonder is-did or didn't Millie get up at the crack of dawn and milk the cows herself?
Better to be early than late is quite correct in so far as it goes but the Fem Hall girls weren't quite sure what to do when an invited guest arrived one week early for dinner. After hurriedly thumbing the pages of "Emily .Post," Alice Jane Taylor, president of the Hall, decided that the smoothest course of sailing would be just to go ahead and eat-but they didn't serve Waf fles at their birthday dinner the next week as was originally planned.

Dishevelled hair, bleary eyes, sca ntily clothed, they sat staring vacantly at pa ·ssersby. With great effort one man staggereG in his drunken condition through our group begging for dimes. This is the famous "Bowery," once named for beautiful farms-now the habitat of poverty, crime, and misery.
Witness Slum Conditions
Dr. Howe led the way to the Owl Hotel or "Flop House on the Bow ery." Small l ow beds line the walls ()f the rooms with a bin or locker for each bed. Here migrant workers sleep .for W cents a night.
Cafeteria dinner at the Bowery "Y" was a unique experience for all. G ood food, at low cost, is provided for unfortunates at 12 cents on the penny side-subsidized. On the opposite side delicious and well serve d food could be had for 35 cents. The food was invtting but we found it hard to relish when a thick voice was heard at the window close to our table asking for food and money.
The afternoon was spent visiting Federal Housing projects a nd an allnight mission where men sit up all nig·ht to keep in out of the cold. The sound of Dr. Howell's Swedish horn welcomed us to the elevated railway above the sorrow and slums . The soft winds and beauty of the night on the way to our Palisades camp endeavored to steal our thoughts away from the Bowery, but ni..r dreams turned to see again "how the other half lives."

Worcester, Ma.ss. July 15, 1941.
On Saturday, July 5, we visited the Washington National airport. This airport is the largest airport in the United S ta tes, and second only to the ai11port at Berlin. We first visited the room in which the weather maps are composed. I happened to be in the room 1by myse1f with two me n while they were in the process of making a. map .
They had receiv.ed reports from a ll over the United States telling them in which direction the wind was blowing a.nd at how many miles per hour . As they were working I could slowly see the high and low pressure areas t a ke shape and I could a lso understand how they were moving across the country. The bureau uses the air mass analysis method of forecasting weather.
While we were at the airport, we had Mr. Mitchell, who is the head o f .the sta tion, explain to us just what had been causing the constant rain that we had been experiencing while at Ws.shington. He explained it as a clash between the polar air mass from the north and a warm air mass from the G ulf area with t.l1e warm mass rising to cause condensation of its moisture.
After this we entered the instrument room where we had some of t he mechanism explained to us. One o f the instruments showed the direction of the wind and the velocity at which it was blowing.
What. interested me most a t the bureau was watching the a scent of a l1e!ium balloon. Attached to the bnllo cn was a box of instruments weighing 21h pounds. The instruments record the temperature and re lative humidity at the higher alti.tudes. The person who finds the instruments is paid one dollar upon t.'leir return to the bureau.
Because the airport was built as late as 1940, the weather station is not fully equipped as yet, but is destined to be very important in the future.

Physics Class Builds Device To Test Campus Throwing Arms

Phipps left Saturday for South
H a ven, Mich . , for a visit with Misses Charlotte and Martha June Jack who are employed there for the summer.
Former Athlete Gets Club T ra n sfe r Jim Phipps, outfielder for the White Sox, who has been with the Jonesboro (Ark.) club stopped over v1ith his parents in Ashmore Friday evening on his way to Wisconsin R apid, (Wisc.) club, where he has been transferred.
S pu r l i n Reg iste rs Fastest P i tch
B y Ralph Treat
One of Dr. F L. Verwiebe's Physics classes has set uj a dev ice to measure a thrown baseba ll 's speed.
Just north of the science 1building a box of excelsior was suspended. When a baseball is thrown into such a box, the box swings a shor 1t dis tance. By mounting a metersti ck din:ctly alongside the box, observing the distance the box swings, and obtaining the weight of the box the
speed of the ball can be measured
very accurately. Many of the students and faculty
have taken advantage of the cha nc e l o hav
'e their speed computed. Bob
Feller, the fastest man in baseball,
is said to have thrown a baseball that overtook a motorcycle policeman travelling at 80 miles per hour. The record, to date, is that of O rville Spmlin , whose ball had a speed of 65 miles per hour.
One of the faculty members who claims to have "something on the ball," has still to learn how to hit the box before his "terrific" speed can be determined. Perha ps, the fact that the box was suspended a,iongside a window accounts for the numerous misses.

Dutch Author Writes Thought Provoking Book of Europe's War
High School T 01
Group Camps H Coed Rev i ewe r P laces Story on 'Must' L ist
B y Dorothy Day
"My earliest recollections go back 3B years to a ,silent street in a small urban community of the Netherla.nds." With these quiet words, Pierre van Paassen opens one of the most thought-provoking b ooks of the pas t three years.
Those who thought Days of Our
Years was just another war book, out o.f date almost as quickly a s it was prin ted, will please pardon me
whil e I say gently ,b ut firmly that they are wrong. If you have n ot read it yet, shame on you. This is
one of the few books I have ever seen which I would require every
thinking individual to read today. These Of you who read it when it was first published owe it to your selves to .get a copy of the revised edition (New York, The Dial Press, 1940) and read the last three chapters which, by popular demand, bring the book up-to-date to the end of the summer of 1940 .
Liberalism Surro unds Youth
Pierre van Paassen spent his boyhood in an atmosphere of liberalism, free - thinking, and idealism , deep ly influenced by his artist -uncle and by the Dutch peasants a bout him. Just before World War I he moved with his family to Canada, where he became a theological student, untouched a t first iby what was hap pening i n E:urope. Gradually he could see the propaganda having its way with the Canadian people, until riots and anti-alien incidents were everyday occurrences . Then he en listed. And his story of the war pu lls no punches.
After the war he became roving correspondent in all the c ountries in Europe for the New York Evening lVGr!d. As such he came and went, observing post-war conditions, interviewing world - famous figures, covering fe a ture stories freely. And everywher,e the misery and injustice which he found stirred him to deep- seated r age. Many of the things h e wrote were never pub lished; he was ejected from many cnuntries. And through these experiences his phil osophy developed and strengthened, until he knew tha t his must be the voice to send farth the trumpet-call for truth and justice, n o matter what happened to him.
Contains Much Adventure
Though Days of Our Years contains some of the <best a dventure stories I 've ever read, and some of the most skillfully-written human interest notes; it is not intended as entertainment. Van Paassen is a social philosopher in the highest tradition of the words, and he crams volumes of thought into this amazing autobiography. After reading his simple explanations, you will

"The first week we were on boa.rd, we circled round and r ound in the south Atlantic , waiting for the raider to return. In the meantime we had to organize, we had to live in our small hole.
"We petitioned the Germans not to take us through the dangerous war zone. They .pledged us that they wouldn't take us into the war zone, ibut wouldn't tell us where they were going.
"Finally we were told that we would start through the blockade. We were given order to sleep with our clothes on and with our lifebelts ciose at hand. Then about May 1 9 , we sighted land. W e had gone through the blockade . With the little compass which we had smuggled on board we waitched the direction of the ship's sailing and were about to decide that we were to be landed at Spain when the shiip swung back north, indicating that we were sailing to occupied France.

From France we went to Spain, and across Spain to Lisbon. We had intended to go back to Africa, which is home to us, but were ordered to return to New York. ' '

Philadelphia was on the day's itinerary, so about three hours were spent in visiting such historical points of interest as Congress Hall , Independence Hall, Carpenter's Hall , Christ's Church , Home of Betsy Rms, Liberty Bell, and the tcmb of Benj amin Franklin. While in the midst of one of his vivid lectures in Independence Hall, Dr. Coleman was informed by a guiae that lecturing was strictly foPbidcen. " Charlie" very generously abided by the rule and the party adjourned to a nother hall.
Our camp site was located near Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, in Palisade pa.rk overlooking the Hudson river and Upper Manhattan Island. After supper while the more frail members of the par,ty sought their beauty rest, a party of hearty adventurers braved the ferry and 5nbway for a first look at Times Square. It was not disappointing.
The four days in New York, 'Itursday through Sunday, were foll of sight-seeing and adventure . The city trips included a boat trip around :Manhattan Island , Times tuilding, Museum of Natural Histcry, moonlight ferry trip to Sta.ten IKland, Stock Exchange, Slums, Metropolitan Art Museum , various ca thedrals, a stage show or two, and RCA building.
