Texas Hier Reaches England

LIMERICK, Ireland (AP) .- Thomas H. Danaher. 30-year-old Texas flier who made an unan- nounced solo Atlantic hop Satur- day. flew on to England Sunday with his light plane sporting the chalked-on name "St. Brendan."

The Irish saint was the hero of a legendary Atlantic voyage in 565 A.D.

Danaher, whose plane was chris-

'teried and blessed by a priest at

nearby Shannon airport Sunday, had flown there from a New- foundland airport where he had left the impresion he was going up for only an hour or so. Thir- teen and a half hours later his single-engine plane landed at Shannon.

HOPES To MEET POPE

Dansher, well rested after a night in Limerick, told reporters he plans to visit friends in Eng- land for a few days, then fly on to Paris and Rome, -where he hopes to have an audience with the Pope. In about three weeks he'll try to fly back the way he came. .

The former us. marine pilot tried in vain to locate some rela- tives heire. laying after looking in the phone book. "Danaher over here appearl to be like Smith back home." Dsnnher is from Wichita Falls. Tex.

The 195: model single-engined Beechcraft Bonanza flown by Danaher is somewhat smaller but much more modern than the famed Spirit of St. Louis in which Charles Lindbergh made his trans- Atlantlc flight in 1927.

what was white became black overnight. Fifteen years ago this week

Moscow and Berlin announced the signing of the Nazi-Soviet non- aggression pact. Events in the following year wrote into history an indelible indictment of world communism.

From the moment that Molotov, then Soviet foreign minister. scrawled the opening chapter of that fantastic experiment in ep- peslement. Communists of Eur- ope and the United States stood exposed as obedient agents of Moscow. masquerading as mem- bers of a political party.

The Communist: who obey Kremlin order: now are the some one: who fllpflopped back and forth then at Moscow's command. The Communists who try to sab-

, otage Western defences today are

the same,ones who tried it 15 years ago. The Communlus who denounced the West as imperial- ist are the same ones who did it when Hitler loosed imperialist war against the democracies.

OONJICTUIE KAITEI

The whys and whereforea of Stalin's decision to join Germany in the pact and thus signal the Second World War can only be A matter of conjecture.

Wu Stalin bargaining for time? Was he hoping the West and Hitler would destroy one another another that victor? Dld

The Soviet Union at that mo- ment probably could have put 100 divisions in the field. only a quarter of them first-line quality. Hitler had more than 100 div- lslons hacked by the power of productive industrial country gear- ed for war.

At any rate the Russians and the Nazis. mutually sworn en. emies who had called each other criminals ever since the rise of Hitler. llkned their i1on-nggres- lion pact Aug. 24, 1939. Hitler was free to attack Poland a week later. Stalin marched in and

seized the eastern half of the country. never to give it up again.

DID IJEEWISE

In Germany. Walterv Ulbrlght, the same man who now bosses the East zone for the Russians, issued a flood of statements in- distinguishable from Nazi lan- guage. In France. Maurice Thorez, still today's Red boss, did like- wise. So did Pslmiro Togliatti in Italy and Communist: in Britain and the United States.

meetings it was evident that 2,000 congress delegates from 54 coun- tries were generally agreed that a concentrated program of public education on mental health was necessary throughout the world, and more support was needed from every level of government.

He said the presence of a Rus- sian delegation marked a "great advance in co-operation with the Soviet."

"There was real friendliness shown. and a willingness to co- operate." he said.

NOT CONVINCED

However, Dr. Rees said he and other Western delegates were skep- tical about the Russians' claims that Soviet children were the most mentally healthy in the world and that the Russian people in general. were more physically fit.

"We don't know of any statis- tical sources to substantiate their argument."

The next congress will be held in four years, but no date or place has yet been set. The 1955 meeting of the World Federation for Men- lal Health will be held next Aug- ust in Istabul.
