unheralded sequel on Capitol Hill.
Day after the White House party,
10 iceondterrri house Democrat*
held a luncheon in Speaker Sum
Rayburn'* prlvute dining room, at
which there waa considerable good-
natured. and some not so good-na
tured, grousing about the Presi
dent'* relations with congress.
Object of the luncheon, arranged
by Rep Oren Harris of Arkansas,
was to enable the second-termers to
•'console'' eac|j other for not being
Invited to the White House for a
party when they were freshmen.
Among others, Rep Sam Russell
and Eugene Worley of Texas took
great delight In joshing Rayburn:
"Sam, why can't you get us an In
vitation to the White House?"
However, the luncheon took a se
rious turn when scrappy Rep. Ed
ward Hebert of Louisiana lambusted
the White House for not consulting
with congress on new legislation, and
criticised his colleagues for submit
ting to White House "dictates.” Ob
serving that only 28 of the 45 Demo
cratic freshmen of the Inst ses
sion survived the November elec
tions, the Louisianan declared:
"If a lot of u* had paid more at
tention to our constituents instead
of to White House advisers, there
wouldn't be so few of us here to- ,
day. In the last year of Huey Long's
tenure, he controlled both bouses of
the Louisiana legislature complete
ly except for one man. Hut Huey
didn't try to ram through any bills
without letting each man know what
was going on and making him feel
like he had a stake in the program.
We in congress haven't been treated
like that "
Hebert said he held no enmity
against the House leadership, add
ing to Raybum:
"I've always been very fond of
you. but I've never been able to
vote for you on a national ticket. I
hope I will be able to cast my ballot
for you next year, either as top man
or running mate on the Democratic
ticket "
This brought loud cheers from the
iuncheoncrs and blushes from Ray
burn. who responded with a fatherly
lecture urging those present not to
let personal animosities influence
their actions in congress.

AMERICAN BOMBERS
Despite the criticism you may
hear of American plane*. U. 5 *ir‘
men who have studied the current
bombings of Europe say privately
that one American bomber is worth
flve of the British.
American planes ar* heavily
armed and heavily armored
Able
to protect themselves, they oper
ate in the daylight, with precision
bombing,
whereas
the
British
planes, flying at night, must lay
down a pattern of bombs over a
whole area, hoping that the princi
pal target will be hit.
British plane* can carry ■ heavi
er load of bombs, but the fewer
bombs carried by the American
planes are more effective because
they go straight to the target.
Further. American planes have
suflered fewer losses proportionately
than the British, both operational
and combat losses.
In fact the American contribu
tion is so important that the all-
out bombing of Germany must await
the availability of more U. S planes.
Most people think there is a heavy
concentration of American planes in
England now. and that the current
round-the-clock bombings are the big
show. Neither is correct.
There was a concentration of U. S.
planes In England last summer and
fall, made with intended publicity.
Thia had the effect of sending the
Nazis scurrying all over western Eu
rope to mend their defenses. Then
U. S. air strength was pulled out of
England for the mission it had been
Intended for—the invasion of North
Africa.
U. S. air strength in England I*
now being built up again, and when
the time comes, the two air force*
combined will stage the show in
tended to knock Germany out of the
war.

As a man entered a restaurant
and sat down at a table the man
already there looked up with a
smile of recognition.
"Pardon me, sir," he said, "I
think we met a fortnight ago."
After a brief glance of inspec
tion, the other man shook his head
negutively.
"Sorry," he said, "but I don’t
know you.”
"Maybe not. I don’t know you,
but I recognized that umbrella
you’re carrying."
"That's impossible, sir! A fort
night ago I had no umbrella.”
"No,” came the quick retort,
"but I had!”

As the capital of any country Is
where its government is, capitals
of quite a number of European
countries are "somewhere in Eng
land" at the moment, and will
continue to be until the war is
ended.
The capital of France these days
changes so rapidly that it is hard
to keep up with it. In the hearts of
all true Frenchmen the capital is
Paris, but the Vichy government
ha* already been set up at Bor
deaux, Tours, and Vichy.
Bordeaux was the French capi
tal during the Franco-Prussian
war last century, and centuries
ago it was the capital of English
France during the reign of Rich
ard II. In those days a consid
erable part of France was a Brit
ish colony. The last remnants of
it are the Channel islands.
During the last war, the king of
the Belgians set up his headquar
ters at La Panne, a holiday resort.
This colorful patchwork may
then be used for a new cover tor
a comforter. Another idea is to
cover a worn woolen blanket with
it. The result will be a warm and
luxurious quilt that will last for
year*.

MEXICO BARS MIGRATION
No one is advertising it, but Mex
ico has slapped a temporary ban
on the recruitment of its workers for
farm jobs In the United States.
This was expected to be one of
our big source* of farm labor In
the Southwest. However, no Mexi
can laborer* have been imported in
more than a month, despite feverish
effort* by tho Farm Security ad
ministration to bring in approxi
mately 50,000.
Mexico I* not keen about the re
cruiting program, and some time
ago notified the state department
that it was reserving the right
to specify the sections of Mexico
where labor could be recruited. Rea
son given was that Mexico couldn't
afford to have labor drained from
industrial section*.
Meanwhile the Farm Security ad
ministration ha* submitted order*
for 6,000 Mexican*, but la still wait
ing for an okay to begin recruiting.
Note: So far we have imported
5,300 Mexican farm workers under
30-to-90 day work contract*.
FACTS WORTH NOTING:
O $783 million for workers in 1942, or 25% more than in 1941.
O $204 million to government in taxes in 1942, or 21% more than in 1941.
O No increase in dividends in 1942.
O Balance for future needs 78% les* than in 1941.
Many other interesting facts are told in the Annual Report of U. S. Steel, just published.
