Nothing the United States has done brought it there. The shooting, whicii everybody has been dreading, is now a fact, and it was not American shooting. There is a notable lack of excitement in American consideration con-sideration of the fate of the Robin Moor, American ship tor-.pedoed tor-.pedoed and shelled to the bottom of the South Atlantic. Today's To-day's world is not the world of 1915 when a German surface raider sent the William P.Frye to the same grave. Americans Ameri-cans didn't like that at all. The world seems to look at these things differently today, and whether that is to the world's credit or not is another question. Nineteen days and nineteen nights the American victims of the Robin Moor pulled at their heavy oars, staring death in the face. More is at stake here than the cost of the Robin Moor and her dead. For weeks, probably, there will be exchanges of notes between the U. S. and German government, winnowing winnow-ing out this and that question of fact, this or that point of international law. Yet the main questions at stake are very simple questions: Has the United States the rignt to send an unarmed ship, carrying no munitions of war, through shipping lanes far removed re-moved from anything generally recognized as a "combat zone" to South Africa, parts of South Africa being at war with Germany? Evidently the United States" believes it has that right, or the Robin Moor would not have been where she was, carrying what she carried. Or has the UnitodStates no such right. Is it to be subjected to a "shooting'war'' if it believes be-lieves it has. and tries to exercise that right 2 Has Germany the right to fight its war anywhere in the world, to sink any ship bound for any port of any country allied to the British, whenever some sub-lieutenant in charge of its submarine considers its cargo contraband? In short, who shall define contraband, who shall define combat zones, who shall lay down the "law" of the sea? OUT OVRWAY by Williams lgT WMSf DIDW'T VOL I THE.

W ashington Merry-Go-Round (Ooattnu4 From Pag Oh) wouldn't permit it, and came back to the subject frequently. Note In diplomatic circles one explanation for the sinking of the Robin Moor is that Germany now figures the United States will come into the war no matter what happens, but is confident that no expeditionary force will be sent until Hitler has administered the final stroke to England. ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN MURRAY It . .Behind-the-scenes developments last week indicate that the anti-Red anti-Red forces inside the CIO will not get very much help from Phil Murray in their drive to purge the organization of key-placed Kommie leaders. No leftist himself, Murray seems afraid of a showdown with the left-wingers and bent on The United States is slow to aneei- today.

The United States in 1812 and 1917, for instance, has shown an active interest in free use of the world's sea highways. high-ways. It still has that interest, and it has means at its disposal dis-posal to assert its own ideas of what that freedom must be. Dr. Reith's "Private Business" Can a citizen of a totalitarian country, specifically, of Germany, Italy, Russia, or even Japan, properly make the claim at any time that he is engaged in "private business?" Totalitarianism being what it is, with every personal concern subjected to the state, it may rightly be assurped that citizens of such countries traveling abroad are always working more or less for their country's interests, not their own, unless the two happen to coincide. They wouldn't be allowed to go abroad, in the first pla'ce, if this were not so. In the second, any "private business' they may have is so interwoven with state policy and state direction that it cannot can-not be "private." We are slow to realize this, being geared to a system where a man can have private interests and pursue them independently in-dependently of, or even detrimentally to, the national interest. inter-est. Yet our own experience and the experience of South America, shows plainly that no citizen-in-good-standing of a totalitarian country can do this. Traveling abroad they are all, and in the nature of the case they must be, in the service of their governments to a greater, or less degree. Let's not forget it. if it splits the CIO wide open. The leftists, fearful of being Isolated, Iso-lated, will play every trump card to "hold Murray in line to protect them. This strategy was very apparent ap-parent last week. When Murray finally blasted O. M. Orton, leftist head of the Woodworkers Union and then condemned con-demned the outlaw plane strike at Inglewood, Calif., the antis were jubilant. But two days after the Army took over the North American Ameri-can plant, Murray suddenly reversed re-versed himself and sharply criticized criti-cized the seizure. Behind that statement was some maneuvering by Harry Bridges, leftist Pacific Coast leader. Sensing the wave of public pub-lic ire at the Kommies, Bridges cannily decided it was time for them to duck for cover. He had, endorsed the strike, but hurriedly he switched and recommended recom-mended that work be resumed. Also, he sent word to leftist leaders of the outlaw strike of Cleveland die-casters to pull in their horns an order they obeyed promtly.

Mur-ray. Only a few insiders know that it was Bridges, working through Curran, who arranged this peace meeting. Orton gave the impression impres-sion that he was making the trip from Seattle to Washington at the request of Murray. But Curran Cur-ran sat in on their meeting. Bridges knows that the leftists, while in control of key places in a number of CIO unions, numerically num-erically are weak and would be easy to oust in a determined fight. He seeks, to forestall such a purge by playing on Murray's fears of a split in the CIO. So the leftists are plying him with assurances that hence-forth they will be 'good boys" and lay off the rough stuff. Murray apparently ap-parently has accepted these promises prom-ises and is now seeking to restore "peace" between the warring factions. fac-tions. Note It was significant that Murray conferred with Orton and Curran in his office in the United Mine Workers building, one floor above the vast, ornate office of John L Lewis. Also significant: Lee Pressman, leftist general counsel of the CIO and a close Lewis lieutenant, participated in the talks. . 1 HARD TO REMEMBER A "mental wizard" at the first antversary dinner of the Washington Wash-ington Radio Correspondents Association As-sociation went among the guests and asked them to name "something "some-thing hard to remembe,. for him to identify.

Swedes Await Midsummer Fete Your Social Security Proofs Needed Employee over 65 yeara of age inquires at the social security board's Provo field office about retirement benefits and about supplementary sup-plementary benefits for his wife who is also past 65. He is given a list of the things the local office will need in connection with his application for benefits. Midsummer day, an important festival date in Sweden, will be observed by Swedes and their descendants of Utah and the in-termountain in-termountain country at an outing at Lagoon, Tuesday, June 24. Preparations are being made to take care of more than 5000 people peo-ple at the resort during the day. The organization sponsoring the outing in Lagoon are the Gus-taf Gus-taf Adolf male chorus, the Swedish Swed-ish L. D. S. organization, the Vasa lodge, the Viking lodge with Rudolf D. Lindgren chairman of the committee in charge. Sports and contests for the younger generation will be run off during the day, and a musical program will begin at 6:30, according to Alvin R. Erikson. The midsummer celebration is a traditional one in Sweden, and dates back to the ancient days of the Odin-worshipping ancestors who observed the evening and night event with sacrificial fires on the hill tops, and the raising of gaily festooned May poles where the young people would dance until the early hours of the morning. morn-ing. All Sweden at this time seems to be garlanded with fresh branches of birch, symbolical of Viking victory in battle, and the conquest of summer over winter.

Positions Open For Pilot Course There is still room for a few alternates for training in the Brigham Young university CPT school which begins Monday, June 23, Dr. Milton Marshall, coordinator, coordina-tor, said Tuesday.

If John Henry Worker is fully insured under the social security act at age 65 or thereafter, he will be entitled to a monthly income when he retires. When his wife is 65 yeas old there will be additional addi-tional benefits for her. The law does not provide for payment of these benefits until age 65 is reached. Therefore the social security board's Provo field office must have proof that John Henry . Worker has reached 65 years of age before it can pay his retirement benefits. The same is true when his wife claims benefits. In the case of the latter, the social security board under the terms of the law must require proof that the. person claiming benefits is the wife of the insured worker. A worker who wants to claim his old-age and survivors insurance insur-ance benefits at age 65 or any time thereafter can get an application ap-plication form by writing or calling the Social Security Board's Provo field office. With the form properly filled in, the worker will need to furnish some proof of his age. If his wife is past 65, she will also be entitled to benefits, and should obtain and file- a separate applicaton form. She too will need to furnish proof of her age and, in addition, proof of her marriage to the worker. There is usually .little difficulty in obtaining a wedding certificate, but birth certificates of persons now 65 years old or more are comparatively com-paratively scarce. If a birth certificate is not available, the social so-cial security board's Provo field office will advise claimants about other types. of. proof of age which will be acceptable. Workers and their wives who are planning to file claim for old-age old-age and survivors insurance benefits bene-fits should obtain their proof of age and marriage beforehand in order to avoid delay in getting their claim approved. Frequently it takes some time to locate such evidence as a church record of infant baptism or record from the family bible.
