Foreign Ministers to Renew Peach Search

The recent meeting in Paris of the Council of Foreign Ministers achieved settlement on a few inter- 4ional questions, but left many problems still unsolved. The map shows the key areas of Europe and the Near East and Big Four disposition of the problems concerning them. Another meeting of the Foreign

In the weeks since their 'last 3- week session recessed a f t e r achieving few specific successes relation of the Big Four-the United States, U.S.S.R., Britain, and France - have been further complicated by new differences, particularly those voiced by Vy- acheslav M. Molotov, Soviet For- eign Minister, and James F. Byrnes, U. S. Secretary of State.

Secretary Byrnes, in reporting to America on results of the first meeting, proposed to throw the problem of world peace settle- ments before the U.N. General Assembly unless the Foreign Min- isters agree to'call a peace con- f erence this summer.

Shortly afterward Mr. Molotov, reviewing the conference, charged that the U. S. and Britain, acting as a bloc, waged an offensive

- against Russia a t the Paris Con- ference in a "desire to impose

. their will upon the Soviet Ullion." He further accused British-

American capital of attempting to bend small nations to its will,

- charged the existence of a desire in some circles to "dislodge the Soviet Union" from its place in international affairs, and asserted that advocates of imperialism .in the West "are instituting new ag- gressive wars." And he declared that Prime Minister Stalin could not have promised last December to support an American proposal for a 25 - year four - power treaty to keep Germany disarmed.

To this, Mr. Byrnes declared emphatically that such support

. was pledged, and he firmly tobk issue with the 7 princip'al charges

made by Mr. Molotov. At the support of the British and Frenck same time, he voiced the earnest delegations, fought stubbornl: hope that the differences can be but vainly to win Russian ap ironed out at tne next session of the proval of his plan for a 25 - yea: Council of Foreign Ministers. four - power, treaty guaranteehi

Briefing and

Crief i ng Vol. 3 Fridoy, June 21, 1946 . by Chaplain Cooper To make the distinction between

matters of primary and secondary Edited and published every Friday by and for the personnel of the Army Air Field, Walla Wallo, a Fifteenth Air Force Installation, under the direction of the Information and Education Dept. All editorial matter pertaining to Walla Walla Army Air Field, cleared for publication by the Public Relations

-Office, is available for general release and reprint in other publications. The Walla Wallop editorial office is located on the second floor of the service Club, telephone 21 8. Deadline for copy is 1400 on the Tuesday preceding publica- tion date, delivered to the Walla Wallop office. . L

importance is to exercise the fac- ulty of intelligence in the highest degree. Judgment, whether it be of quantity - large or small - or of quality - good or bad, is 'the most useful function of the mind. Those who possess the power of judging accurately are as a rule best able to cope with the problem of living, while those who lack dis- criminating power are generdlly a t

.-

the mercy of the "changes and chances of this mortal life." This seems to be particularly true of the realm of religion and the life of the spirit. There are, for exam- ple, -numbers of people who are nonplussed by the supernatural element in Christianity. 3 h e signs, wonders and mighty works ascrib- - ?d by the Gospels to Jesus' minis- try on earth are stumbling-blocks to many who hesitate to admit in- to a prevailingly rational world, what appears to them to be an ir- rational element. This is actually no more than a failure to exercise rational judgment as to what is 3f first hnportance and what is secondary.

The crux of the matter is not what Christ did, but who He was. )?hose who knew Him in life, and many millions of his disciples since, gradually turned from skep- ticism about him and his claims to a profound conviction that he was and is related to God. His unerring judgements in moral mat. . ters, His. extraordinary grasp of !he conditions of successful living, the perfeet purity of His life, the winsomeness of His personality all point to the fact that in Him, a wman being, is uniquely focused :he life that belongs a t the center >f things, that comes from the leart of the universe and reaches ;o its farthest limits. ,This being ;he case, such things as opening ;he eyes of the blind, multiplying oavgs and fishes, straightening wi- hered arms, turning' water into wine, and. forgiving sins, are not jnly credible, but we should be surprised had they not come to pass.

We must put first things first. h l y admit (as who must n d who snows anything about Him?) that 3e is in any degree a revelation d the purpose of creation, that- is, ~f God askl not only do the mir- lcles explain themselves but the ulfillment of His promise becomes nevitable-"He that believeth on ne, the works that- I do shall he lo also, and greater works than hese shall he do; because I gQ tnto my Father."

This week and every week inevj tably brings its own set of deve: opments. Good or bad, exciting o morbid, it always gives us med cos something to talk about. Ther is, for instance, the case of th "Mabeleene" wrapper, and direc tions for its a~plication which wa found on the men's latrine floor c the infirmary. Now this hospita section is bulging with character of good and ills repute, but ther seems to be a genuine individual ist in our midst of which we wer not aware until this positive evj dence was discovered. The solu tion may be found in the currer fad of cultivating hair on the UF per lip and in a few daring case to preserve as much- as possiblc the production from youthful chine The alternate solution (but n d s likely) could be the sudden deer er appreciation by the person, o persons in question of the feminin contrary to the reputation of th medics as not subtle, but accom plished nympho maniacs.

The social circle of civilian em ployees has been usually quiet thi past week. I t may be, of course that they are attempting to adjus themselves to the new enviror: ment created by the officers' at tendance a t the mess hall. Wha new plan of strategy are they cre ating? Will the male population a the hospital section have to recon vert their methods of protectinj their virtue? If such methods ex ist, the writer questions .their sin cerity d enforcement.

The most widely appreciatec day room on the post can be claim ed by this section. Why such ; plush rendezvous should be callec a "day room" when there is n< me in there in the day time excep the janitor is still a matter of loc a1 discussion as well as that of z nation wide mystery. It still is z very popular place for nocturna animals, of which we find a largc number among us. Visitors to oul day room find it a sanctuary o surprises, the abundance of whicl is sometimes diminished by t h f

persistant lingering of odd num bers of "stags" who should havc been making better use of thei~ time on their individual sacks plan ning thelr own dates.

The constant "comings - in, an< goings - out" of hospital personne continues to baffle those of us nov considered permanent fixtures ii the installation with a continuou: array of new names and unfamili a r faces. The burden of masterin( a half dozen new names every fev days is easily condoned in view o the interesting personalities whicl accompany the names. But thi continual shift of men produces thc universal question, as it does ev erywhere: "When will -the Arm: make up its mind what is to be come of us and our happy home.'

~ a s e ' Library War Department Emphasizes Its After a busy day clearing the

boys of Squadron C, we'll see what news we can scare up for our col- umn! The boys of Squadron C were glad to get copies of the lat- est magazines, that the library gives away, to read on the train- which reminds us to remind you that we have plenty of duplicate magazines every week that can be had for the asking. Come in and look over our "Take One" pile.

Last week we had an important visitor - the Command Librarian of the Fifteenth Air Force. She thought that we had a very nice library and was particularly im- pressed with out Music Room and collection of classical records. Ahem!

Among the latest movies are many stories for which the library has the original editions, a s "Kit- ty", "CIuny Brown", "Brave .Men" (the basis of the picture, "Ernie Pyle's Story of G. I. Joe",) and many others. Then we hear that some of our other popular books are being made into movies-such as "The Brick Foxhole" by Brooks (by M. G. M., starring Dick Pow- ell); "King's General" by Daphne DeMaurier; "The Egg and I" by Betty MacDonald (filmed by In- ternational Pictures) ; "The Snake Pit" ,by Mary Jane Ward; "The White Tower's by Ullman (R.K.O. paid $100,000 for it); and, Enter- prise has Remargue's "Arch of I'riumph." Last but not least, we ?ear that the April selection of the Book - of - the - Month Club, Jim Clorbett's "Man - Eaters of Ku- maon," has been acquired by Mon- ty Shaff, former. producer who is making plans to send a company to India to film the story against ks authentic background with tig- ers and all - that should be ex- :iting! We'll let you know as we Tear of more "books into films," but have you read the above oooks? Now's a good time before the pictures come out and our cop ies become popular.

Liquor Sale Ban - Washlngtoh. (CNS) - Renewed

tress has been placed by the War Department on its restric- tions against the sale of intoxicat. ing liquors in government military installations. A memorandum tc all continental commands empha. sized that:

1) The use of intoxicating lig. uors in any manner is forbidden ir: otganizational messes, dayrooms, offices, barracks, service clubs ox

- in any club the operations oj which are financed by funds con tributed by the government.

2) The purchase of intoxicating liquors or* behalf of any person, -including a member, by, a club ox mess or any official employc thereof is prohibited, as is thc transportation d such liquors tc a military reservation by a eluk or any of its employes.

War Department policy has beer: to allow .both enlisted men's and officers' clubs to store liquor for members. While the memoran.

. durn specified the rules under which liquor may be kept and used by E M and officers in the i~ own privately financed clubs, i l emphasized that under no cir- cumstances may persons under 21 - years old be served or permitted to keel; liquor in such places. -

Let's Have Some Suggestions -

Another suggestion was received by the Committee this week and we think it should have special mention. First, because all sugges- tions are getting special mention and second, because it came from Vlr. Weston J. Whybark of the Post 3ngineers Section. The committee lasn't had the privilege of proces- ;ing the suggestions from the Post Engineers since July 28, 1945. So :ome on Post Engineers, let's give Maintenance a little competition.

By M. Sgt. D. W. Mendenball Hi again fellow anglers. Hope all

you guys enjoyed a good fishing over the past week and week-end. From the dope I get from various sources fishing wasn't too good the past week. No doubt'the bad wea- ther the latter part of the week had something to do with it. M. Sgt. Hamilton of Base Headquarters reported a good catch of Croppies taken a t McKay Dam near Pendle- ton. He reported using number 6 hook baited with part of a Croppie, or small minnow a s being best bait to use. I t was reported that Sgt. Harding of Sq. A supply caught a pair of salmon over the week-end.

A few trout were taken in the Upper Walla .WaUa and on Mill Creek on flies. A Ginger Quill fly was reported to be best on Mill Creek with Royal Coachman Buck- tail the choice of the Walla Walla. I'he Upper Yakima river has been good the past two weeks and espec- ially so last week. The best catch- es are being made on salmon eggs there as the water is slightly oily.

Couldn't dig up any dope on the I'ucannon the past week-end, how- wer as late as Wednesday Salmon were still being taken there.

A few bass are being taken on he Walla Walla River below Touch- :t. Reporting Bass being caught here were Sgts. Ferguson, Pear- ;on, Harriilton, Hardt, Amman, and Mr. Bell, steward of the NCO Club. Understand Mr. Bell caught the Fish he has been fishing for all sea- son last night. How about it Bell,

i going to quit fishitrg now?

This is about all the reports for, his week fellows, I know its sort )f sketchy but guess they weren't Iitirfg too good anywhere. Any in-' :ormation you have will be greatly ippreciated. Just phone it in to me it Ex. 307. Let's hear from you and, good luck on your next trip. 1
