IT ENVOY LITVINOFF; E Soviet Ambassador Popular With Officials, People and Newsmen of Capitol By Jack Stinnett Washington The war has made more changes In diplo matic circles than It has in the map of the world but none stranger than that which has brought round, graying Maxim Litvinoff Into the Washington spotlight as one of the most popular figures In the nation's capital. If this were Hollywood, It would be a safe bet that only President Roosevelt and Win ston Churchill (during his visit) would be any more sought after by the autograph hounds than the paunchy, smiling ambassa dor from the U. S. S. R., who. because he also holds the title of deputy commissar for foreign affairs, outranks all diplomats here with the single exception of the British ambassador. Lord Halifax, who likewise has re tained his status as a member of the British cabinet. That, however, is a protocol rating and has nothing to do with the fact that ex-revolutionary, one-time exile In Siberia, and In-agaln, out-again favorite of Josef Stalin, rates tops in popularity with official and un official Washington. Newsmen Like Him The capital press corps espe cially has placed Its approval stamp on the man from Communist-land and there's good reason for It. In his conferences In the big embassy, Litvinoff greets the ladies and gentlemen of the press with a big smile that deepens the creases In his heavily lined face and threatens to displace his oval-shaped spectacles. His manner Is easy. It Im presses one as being more frank than that of official spokesmen of our even more firmly estab lished Miles in the war on the axis. At times It is almost con fidential. When a question Is too close to subjects he does not wish to discuss, he displays Russian genius for skirting the Issue without seeming to refuse an answer. That kind of double- dealing the newspaper men can understand and appreciate. Cordial Relations The diplomatic relations be tween the United States and the Soviet Republics seem to be functioning smoothly, for the latchstrlng Is nearly always out for Litvinoff both at the state department and the White House. While there Is no evi dence that the new Russian am bassador has been taken as a bosom pal by either President Roosevelt or Secretary of State Hull, neither Is there any that he Is in the least personna non grata, state In which hla pre decessor, Constantin A. Oumans- WML SLABS GREEN to burn with your dry wood in furnace, fire place or hearer. Select Quality, Per Lead 00 ky, frequently found himself. Litvinoff Is considered Rus sia's greatest diplomat. In spite of his two years in disfavor with Stalin before he came to this country. His assignment to the now world capital of allied re sistance to the Axis powers is full of responsibilities. He works hard and long. For that reason and one other, there is not much social activity around the Russian embassy these days and the ambassador and the staff are doing no more pink-teaing than their most urg cnt obligations demand. The other reason is that Madame Lit vinoff, who before her marriage was Ivy Low, an English wom an, has been ill ever since her arrival In this country. WOODS FUNERAL 1 P.M.

RETAIL CREDIT ASSOCIATION Of MEDFORD WB- ALL The Japanese attack on the United States instantly changed our trend of thought in this country. Before that attack some of us thought in terms of "I", others in terms of "we". Neither of those terms expresses our feelings today. "I" represents onlyone person. "We" may mean only two or a few persons. Our slogan now is WE-ALL, which means every loyal individual in the United States. We are facing a long, hard job, but when the United States decides to fight for a cause, it is in terms of WE-ALL, and nothing can or will stop us. President Roosevelt, our Commander-in-Chief, can be certain that WE-ALL are back of him, determined to protect our country, our form of government, and the freedoms which we cherish.
