There was a worldwide atmosphere of tense and intense anticipation of a tremendous event to come. In England the final feverish preparations were being made. On the continent the French underground waited impatiently. The Germans worked and watched anxiously. All eyes were on the English Channel. When would the blow come? Not what month, but what day, for the great invasion was surely very near. Early on the morning of June 6, came the answer. The official communique said simply that strong Allied forces had struck the French Coast and were "moving inland". Then the fortifications which Hitler had boasted as impregnable were not performing as promised. But they did take a great toll. SATURDAY, JUNE 5—B-day, you are fond of activitement.

Significant When would the blow come? Not what month, but what day, for the great invasion was surely very near. Early on the morning of June 6, came the answer. The official communique said simply that strong Allied forces had struck the French Coast and were "moving inland". Then the fortifications which Hitler had boasted as impregnable were not performing as promised. But they did take a great toll. "We shall accept nothing less than total victory," said General Eisenhower in his invasion message. He got it 11 months later almost to the day when an unconditional surrender was made by the Nazis at Rheims. In those 11 months from the beaches of Normandy to the banks of the Rhine and beyond, many tens of thousands gave their lives in the mighty drive. In looking back we cannot help wishing that their sacrifices had produced the better world for which they fought. But in looking ahead we must renew our determination to continue that fight until the real victory is won. Knight Is Right for Both Parties There have long been differences of opinion among students of popular government as to whether the merits of California's cross-filing system outweigh whatever demerits the system may have. However, all schools of thought seem in agreement that cross-filing has one indisputable value for the electorate: It permits final settlement of any political contest at the Primary Election when a majority of all voters, irrespective of party registration, feel that one candidate stands out above all others for a particular office. The candidacy of Goodwin J. Knight for Governor appears proof positive of that indisputable merit of cross-filing. There has never been a more popular public servant in our tate's history. In the contest for Lieutenant Governor, in 1950, Knight was so overwhelmingly the choice of California voters that he won the nomination on both Democratic and Republican tickets at the Primary Election. He was accorded an amazing total of 1,519,675 primary election votes — nearly a million more than his nearest opponent and a quarter of a million more votes than all four of his opponents combined! Since then, as Governor, he has achieved even greater stature and esteem in the eyes of his fellow citizens of all political persuasions — and seems almost certainly destined to an even more impressive double nomination at this year's Primary Election. His achievements in the few months since he took office have won him the enthusiastic endorsement of anxiously. All eyes were on the English Channel.

His achievements in the few months since he took office have won him the enthusiastic endorsement of outstanding civic and other organizations over the entire State — labor, women's groups, farmers, educators, the professions — representing millions of his fellow citizens. Goodwin Knight has ably earned and richly deserves the honor of a full four-year term as our Governor. We are confident that he will receive that honor from Californians of both parties when they cast their ballots next Tuesday. "NON-COMBATANT!"

JUST A MEMORY? TEN YEARS AGO D-DAY FOR PEACE Othman’s Views on Washington By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN McLEAN, Va. — This whole day I spent in the Senate Caucus Room, listening to McCarthy, Cohn and Co. vs. the Army, but somehow the yak seemed especially yackety, and if you don’t mind I’d like to do a little essay about rural hydraulics and allied subjects. Five long, sore - muscled years ago, you may remember, I bought a red tractor with headlights fore and aft (for plowing backward at night) to keep my beaten - up acres in Fairfax County from returning to wilderness. This noisy behemoth came equipped with a long iron handle, which the salesman assured me would be useful for lifting the sickle bar over rocks, old bottles and other debris in the grass. It was, too. Either heave on the handle and raise the mower, which weighed maybe 150 pounds, or smash a blade on the piece of brick down below. Connected to the handle is a heavy steel spring, making it as much effort to lower the sickle as to raise it. After a couple or three hours of this Old Farmer Othman, with the sore back, got lazy. He’d take a chance on maybe the blade skimming over the rock without ruining itself. Sometimes this actually happened. Other times it meant removing the busted blade and going to work with a cold chisel, iron rivets, and a sledge hammer. This was one portion of the rural life the real estate man did not mention when he made a farmer out of me. It was what you might call brutal. So one evening, after a session with the handle and the sledge both, I was - thumbing through a farm paper, and there was an ad for power steering for tractors. I had no trouble with steering, but it gave me an idea. I got in touch with the tractor man in Herndon, Va., and I asked him why in tarnation his experts singly. He said they woke me by about 10 years. He said he’d tried hydraulic lift for my first bought it, but know-it-all city slicer I’d turn it down. So would he sell me said, for $98 he’d be.

Books By United Press Today, the Texas Navy is mentioned—if at all—with a laugh, but there was a time when the words were no joke, especially to the Mexicans who were trying to quench the flames of freedom with blood at Goliad and the Alamo. Star in the Rigging, by Garland Roark (Doubleday) is a story of the four armed schooners that flew the Lone Star flag in 1835 and 1836, the tiny force of wooden ships and iron men that defied the second best navy in the New World and closed the sea lanes to Santa Anna's invading army. It is specifically the story of Jermiah H. Brown, the tough Texas captain who would not swerve from his course even when he was proclaimed a pirate both in Mexico and the United States. Roark, author of other sea stories drew heavily on historic records in writing this novel, and most of his principal characters are real people. Among his imaginary characters are Carmela, the beautiful blonde spy; and Polly, the waitress who became a polished lady. The story dramatizes an almost-forgotten bit of history, with due credit to men who plified a leading part in the fight to make Texas free . The Magicians, by J. B. Priestley (Harper) is the lively story of Sir Charles Ravenstreet, a middle-aged industrialist who finds life is just beginning for him when he is eased out of the electrical supply firm he has headed for many years. He has no family, few friends and life apparently is over. But he finds himself involved with a super-business executive and three strange men he calls "magicians" for lack of a better word.

He has no family, few friends and life apparently is over. But he finds himself involved with a super-business executive and three strange men he calls "magicians" for lack of a better word. The big business man hopes to increase his power by marketing a drug that will end the worries of the masses. The three magicians intervene in Ravenstreet's life when their inn is destroyed by a falling jet plane. He is startled to find they expected it. Through them Ravenstreet finds happiness, averts the destruction awaiting him and finds to his pleased surprise he has a family after all.

The World In The Evening, by Christopher Isherwood (Random House) is a skillful portrayal of a man searching his own conscience for the first time and belatedly recognizing the weaknesses which ruined his two marriages and his own development. Stephen Monk at 36, wealthy and apparently able to have things just as he wants them, is driven to flight to his boyhood home when he fraps his wife in adultery. An accident which confines him to a hospital bed for 10 weeks forces upon him a re-examination of his life. In reading the letters of his deceased first wife, Monk begins to understand himself and recognize his own misdeeds. The narrative is vivid in drawing the characters of Stephen, Jane and Elizabeth and the abnormal but plausible life they shared...

KALTENBORN and ROLF KALTENBORN Week after week I have been hoping to escape from McCarthyism as the dominating feature of the news but without success. The interest of the American people continues to center on the Washington hearings and the comments they provoke. This week both the President and the Attorney General gave them particular attention. At the same time an increasing number of Senators and Representatives, chiefly Republican, are going on record against the methods and morals of the junior Wisconsin senator. Joe McCarthy is used to ducking brickbats and throwing them back. But during the past week he has been kept busier than usual in trying to handle all those thrown at him from within and without the Senate hearing room. THIS WEEK'S barrage was opened by the President himself in his Monday address at Columbia University's bicentennial celebration. There he expressed his firm belief "that knowledge and understanding will drive from the temple of freedom all who seek to establish over us thought control — whether they be agents of a foreign state or demagogues thirsty for personal power." The President denied Senator McCarthy's apparent belief that every individual who takes issue with our own convictions is necessarily wicked or treasonous. The most vigorous criticism throughout the week centered on Senator McCarthy's invitation to two million government employees in uniform or out to bring their complaints about suspected driving his power on the Congressional familiar organization Act of 1946.

The rest of the garage now looks so sad, compared to its glistening doors, that I'll have to paint the whole business. This will be less fun, even, than listening to the gentlemen in the Caucus Room. (Copyright, 1964, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Communists took over, estimates that the Red regime has killed 43,400,000 Chinese and holds another 7,000,000 in slavery. Bishop Quentin K. Y. Huang, of the Holy Catholic Church in China, a branch of the Anglican Communion, makes the estimate in his book Now I Can Tell (Morehouse-Gorham). He does not disclose his sources of information. Huang, now in the United States, divides his book into two parts. In the first, he tells of his imprisonment in Kunming by the Reds, his release after two and one-half months, his refusal to become a Communist figurehead in the church, and his escape into Burma. The second part is a study of Communist "land reform" in China. He gathered information while in prison, through indoctrination lectures and talks with Red reformers. He describes the gruesome process by which the Communists eliminate private ownership of land—murder of landlords and rich farmers, condemnation to slow death of so-called well-to-do farmers, distribution of small and heavily-taxed land parcels from which a farmer finds it impossible to make a living, and forcing as many peasants as possible to join the army in order to survive.

The President denied Senator McCarthy's apparent belief that every individual who takes issue with our own convictions is necessarily wicked or treasonous. The most vigorous criticism throughout the week centered on Senator McCarthy's invitation to two million government employees in uniform or out to bring him their complaints about suspected treasonable acts or utterances on the part of their superiors. Attorney General Brownell, after consulting with the President, put it this way. "The executive branch of the government has the sole and fundamental responsibility, under the Constitution, for the enforcement of our laws and presidential orders. They include those to protect the security of our nation which were carefully drawn for this purpose. "That responsibility cannot be usurped by any individual who may seek to set himself above the laws of our land or to override the orders of the President of the United States to federal employees of the executive branch of the government." In the hearing room, Democratic Senator McCarthy addressed himself directly to Senator McCarthy with this comment — "I do not believe you can receive information that is obtained by criminal means and hold it in your possession without the probability of you too being guilty of crime." SENATOR McCarthy used this statement to deny access to certain documents to the Democratic committee members thus precipitating a wrangle that lasted for days. The Democrats are naturally gleeful over the split in the Republican party which McCarthyism has created. Adial Stevenson, who is now all out for the Democratic Presidential nomination of 1956, (and who sees a potential rival in Democratic Senator Symington) regards "the Congressional invasion of the President's domain as an action that has unbalanced the system, imperiled the nation, splintered our basic unity and sapped our energy."

The history of the flag, as you know, is a thrilling one — because it is the story of the founding and growth of the United States. We of the Marine Corps Reserve have a particular affinity for Flag Day, because the founding of the Marine Corps and the adoption of the Stars and Stripes both came during those early turbulent days of the Revolution. Therefore, all of us — members of more than 250 Marine Reserve units throughout the country — have joined together this year to remind all our fellow-citizens of Flag Day, and our opportunity to show our love and respect for the flag by displaying it on Flag Day. We earnestly seek your cooperation in reminding all within your organization of this opportunity to show our national unity on Flag Day. Sincerely, Theodore Tunis, Major, USMC
