SovUl Hold Slip Other uncensored diplomatic reports show that the Warsaw-Lublin Pok'g are getting tougher and more independent and that the Soviet gup is slipping. Here are some de velopments which, for wine queer reason, have been hushed up by Kuiopean censor- ' ship: 1. Twelve Catholic papeis are now heinij publisher in Poland. (There has been con sideiable opposition to the Lublin Poles by Catholic gioups, on the grounds that th' church was being suppressed.; 2. The Warsaw-Lublin Poles have indi cated they want an alliance with the United Ktites and Great Britain just as strong as that with the Soviet. This, they say, would guarantee Polish independence. 3.

Hands Off Churchill One of the well-kept secrets of the last presidential campaign was a statement Win ston Churchill prepared urging the Ameri can people to re-elect Franklin Roosevelt. The statement, however, was never made public. Roosevelt heard what Churchill was planning to do and stopped it. He explained to the British prime minister that much as he appreciated his good intentions, the American people resented outside interfer ence in their politics. Undoubtedly Churchill was planning reci procity for the help which Harry Hopkins had given him two years before. At that time, the winter of 1042, just after Pearl Harbor, Churchill faced growing criticism in parliament. So Harry Hopkins went to London and with Roosevelt's blessing dropped the word quietly in British political circles that the president of the United States appreciated the fine coopcualion he was getting from the. prime minister and would be sorry to see any change of British leadership. Hopkins was very open and above-board about this and later told friends in Wash ington about the worry he and Roosevelt had felt regaiding Churchill's tight political position. clothes she buys wanting her to have only the most becoming things. The wives aren't even hesitant about giv ing advice or saying. "Now If it were Bill who were coming home, I"d do so and so." Taking another war wife's good luck in that manner is, of course, the happiest reac tion war wives could have. For there is nothing in that altitude that tears down their own morale. The thing that licks I hem is making bit ter comparisons and thinking, "She's getting her husband back but nothing is changed for me." If the men can want their friends lo gel home so badly they treat them "ilke ex pectant mothers" as the news story point ed out so that nothing will happen to them before they can be on their way, then surely war wives al home can be that gen erous in their attitude toward the lucky women who are soon to have their men back with them. lina has another story about OI'A confusion. Me tells abut one old Negro woman who walked int the rationing hoard in his home town of Sumter and demanded: "I want one of them books ou can't get nothing with out." The house debate on OPA renewal had a lot of laughs in it. High point probably came when Congressman Alfred J. Elliott of Tu lare, Calif., brought several big San Joaquin valley potatoes lo the well of the house and laid them on the podium while he spoke. "Hey," came n voice from the floor, "have you got butter for those?" Klhotl said in the course of his remarks that it was nothing to see a potato 12 and 111 inches long in the San Joaquin valley, wilh irrigation, bill he pointed out there are now 12 potato rules and regulations. "No wonder there arc so many eyes in these potatoes," said Elliott, "they need them in order to keep up with the rules and regula tions of the OPA." When the Swedish exchange ship. Grips holm, left the United States recently with a load of several thousand deportees to Italy and Ulcere, some $411.(1(10 worth of war bonds were presented at the docks for cashing. Most of the deportees were criminals and undesirable and the first lo go up the gang plank turned in their bonds for exchange. Hut, when immigration officials told them that the bonds didn't have to be cashed, the run stopped As a ivsult, many more thou sands of dollars worth of these securities were taken back to the old countries to wait for maturity lo full value. In spite of Ihe war, U. S. medical schools have been repotting difficulties in getting enough cadavers. Too much prosperity and the social security laws arv responsible.
