950 YEARS AGO (999) all
Christendom fearfully prepared
for the coming Millenium or
1000th year since the birth of
Christ. Zealots preached the end
of the world. Others prophesied
universal peace and the rising of
the dead. Throughout 999 hysteria
mounted in Europe. Fields were
left unplowed, cattle untended,
wood uncut. In the last days
throngs huddled in the churches
to receive the awful stroke of
doomsday. It never fell; but the
anticipation left thousands spir
itually stunned others poverty
stricken, some mad.
SINGAPORE OP)—Malaya is on
the way to having its own navy.
A bill to provide for its estab
lishment will be put before the
Singapore legislative council soon.
Enlistment in the force will be
open to British subjects and citi
zens of the Federation of Malaya.
Size of the force will be deter
mined by the Governor of Singa
pore. Singapore will provide funds
for the navy.

Drew Pearson Does
Not Mind Being
Called “SOB”—If
WASHINGTON, .(/P) — Radio
commentator Drew Pearson does
not mind being called a “S. O. B.”
, —if it means “Servant of Brother
: hood.”
He referred in a broadcast last
j night to President Truman’s use
, of the three initials to meet criti
; cism of his military aide, Maj.
Gen. Harry H. Vaughan.
Pearson suggested the President
join him in forming ‘‘a new mili
tant order of Servants of Brother
, hood to promote better under
standing between our neighbors
' here at home and our friends
abroad.”
President Truman, in rough old
soldier language that startled'
Washington, declared last Tues
day “Any S. O. B. who thinks he
can cause any of those people
1 (members of his official family) to
be discharged by me by some
smart aleck statement over the air
I or in the paper, he has got an
other think coming.”
The President did not mention
Pearson by name, but last night
Pearson said ‘‘Last week, Broth
erhood week, the President of the
United States threw a name in my
direc’ion which was not meant to
be brotherly.
“However, what he called me is
not important. ... I am going to
take those initials you used Mr.
President, and use them proudly
in an entirely different way. I
would like to suggest that in the
future we get away from the ugli
ness attached to those initials and
make them mean Servants of
Brotherhood. ...”
