We had thought weeks ago that the Berlin impasse could not last much longer but still it does. Today it has been suggested that another meeting with Premier Stalin is in the offing which may bring matters to a final decision. A retreat by either the Russians or the western , .powers would mean a serious blow to prestige., Although it is admitted that the western allies, their position really being untenable, could be forced out of Berlin or Germany altogether, for ; . that matter, war may not be imminent for Russia ; can hardly afford to have the atomic bomb used against her cities. Possibly the only thing that ' ' could bring about war now would be if Russia viewed it as inevitable and considered tjie present as the most favorable time. Therefore, war with ' Russia, while possible,. would seem to be still improbable. , A Picobac smoker will tell yuU J people of the rest of the country, j be the seer, who could, anywhere . mugt be something in Soviet life as yet unrevealed. rfe mildest, eoolwr. tobaccos grown n pafticulnrly sorted (or a pipe.

"V-J" Day went off almost unremembered this year as far as official observance was concerned. Even press and radio seem to have forgotten it almost altogether. Probably the reason was that there has been so much disappointment, now that three years have - elapsed since the close of the second war to end wars, over the continued elusiveness of real peace. ' There is .indeed, little enough to boast about in tiie way of international goodwill and security. In fact the general attitude seems to be that we are again sitt'n!? on the brink. "V-J" Day was almost overlooked because there was so little motive to remember it. JERUSALEM'S PLIGHT t Ut-out Books READINQ BOOKS FOR ALL left by last night's train.

Instead, the inhabitants are rationed to a gallon a day for each, and no more, and the weather is hot and dry. The pipe system has been badly damaged during Arab attacks on Jewish convoys. For several weeks, experimental pumpings have been carried out along .' the pipe-line route from the coastal region north of Tel Aviv. BABE RUTH RUTH rescued baseball when it was tottering BABE in the wind of public disfavor under the impact of the 1919 "Black Sox" scandal and with his mighty bat he went on to change the entire complexion of the national pastime. Baseball, in turn, brought him rich dividends in fame and for- -tune. Th e big, lovable, happy-go-lucky Bambino was more than a star. He was a symbol. Baseball play- ers might come and baseball players might go, but regardless of their achievements, none ever could , .supplant him in the. public mind as the personifica-, . tion of everything that was great and spectacular in the game. He had an indefinable something called color. Other players might be huge, others some day might even hit more home runs during a season. But the Sultan of Swat had that inborn instinct to make every act and every move exciting. Wherever he went, crowds surrounded him. He was the idol of the kids, the greatest of all in the hearts of the fans. The "stomach ache" that, kept "" him out of the lineup for about 50 games in 1925 became almost a national calamity. To Ruth more than any other man went the credit for revolutionizing the game and introducing the modern era of baseball. With the home run, he brought millions of fans through the turn-stiles.
