***THE CHIVO CHIMES***
JULY 17, 1945
Hear Nick and his five happy fingers of rhythm play the song that highlighted their Balboa tour - "I'd Rather Have A Bamboo Rod I Can Call My Own Than A Horse Whip That Belongs To You."
ADDED ATTRACTION
THE ZOMBIE ROOM OFFERS FIVE INCH WELTS ACROSS THE BACK WITH A STRONGBACK, ADMINISTERED BY
ABDUL EL HASSAN, THE ASSASIN, FOR FIVE DOLLARS ($5.00) OR, IF YOU PREFER THE JOCKSTRAP JOLT,
YOU MAY HAVE TWELVE INCH GASHES WITH NICKLE-PLATED MACHETES INSTALLED BY THE GENTLE HANDS OF
MOSSBACK BIFF GRIFFIN AND WHELPS PHELPS.
(Editors Note: The lurid account of Washington's elite "sadistry retreat" in yesterday's issue of the Chivo Chimes has caused considerable furor in the Zombie Room up forward and two of the intelligentsia, their professional instincts aroused, submitted the above advertisement. We are proud that the Chimes is proving to be the instrument bringing forth such honest, upright and loyal statements and herewith pledge our intent to always give our support to such charitable and worthy causes.)

WASHINGTON JULY 15, (UNITED PRESS)
SENATOR THOMAS C HART (REPUBLICAN -- SPINELLI WOULD LIKE
HIM) CONNECTICUT LAST NIGHT URGED THAT THE UNITED STATES MAINTAIN EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OVER THE PACIFIC
ISLANDS FORMERLY BELONGING TO JAPAN. HART, FORMER COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE U S FAR EASTERN
FLEET SAID IN A RADIO INTERVIEW (NBC) THAT HE HAD NO OBJECTION TO THESE ISLANDS BEING PLACED UNDER
A UNITED NATION PROVIDED WE WERE THE NATION. THEY (THE ISLANDS) SHOULD ALL BE GOVERNED AS
ONE UNIT HE SAID AND THAT WE ARE THE ONES TO DO THE JOB. HART AND SENATOR ELBERT D THOMAS (D)
WERE WORKING ON PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH THE FALL OF JAPAN. HART SERVED AS HEAD OF THE U S
FLEET IN THE JAPANESE AREA FROM 1931 TO 1942 WHILE THOMAS HAD MANY YEARS IN THE FAR EAST IN THE EARLY
PART OF THE CENTURY. HARD SAID CONTROL OF THE JAPANESE ISLANDS BY THE U S WAS NECESSARY IF
WE ARE TO INSURE THE FUTURE INDEPENDENCE OF THE PHILIPPINES AND PEACE IN THE PACIFIC. WE
NEED BASES IN THESE ISLANDS HE SAID. ONE REASON WE COULDN'T DEFEND THE PHILIPPINES FROM
JAPANESE ATTACKS WAS THAT WE MADE THE MISTAKE OF LETTING THOSE ISLANDS GO FROM SPAIN TO OTHER
POWERS. FIRST GERMANY AND THEN JAPAN. IF WE ARE TO ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
DEFENDING THE PHILIPPINES WE MUST SECURE THE ROADS WHICH LEAD TO THEM.
