One of the first things should be the re habilitation and restoration of places to pitch horseshoes, pastime that went out of style about the time France fainted and fell. Many of the experts at It have been busy since as military experts, prolonging the war, or ending it too soon. Many of the horseshoes went to japan in the last cargo of scrap iron, "The history and record of the party is so dear that it can not be lightly cast aside and forgotten, and none but half- naked Republicans will think seriously of such a move."

Only To Be Expected The present serious situation in Italy illustrates the difficulties of any allied attack on the European mainland, and was to be expected. Nevertheless, because of the established policy of exaggerating the good news and minimizing the bad, which has characterized American communiques ever' since Pearl Harbor, the American people as a whole have been taken completely by surprise. And they are shocked and a bit resentful. Why should the U. S. forces have run into such a bloody mess at Salerno, when they had such an easy lime in Sicily and north Africa? Some one must have blundered. Did the British give the Americans the hot spot and take a cool one for themselves? Or was there some slip-up in the U. S. preparations? . e e THIS sort of talk is being heard today. And it is entirely unwarranted. What has happened at Salerno was only to be expected whenever the Euro pean mainland was attacked, and there is probably not an officer in the Anglo-American command who is in the least surprised at the present development. For wherever the Axis had made preparations to resist in earnest, there was bound to be rough going. There has consequently been rough going at Salerno, and still is, but this doesn't mean an allied disaster necessarily, nor even a serious set-back in the Italian campaign of the United Nations. It merely means the KEAL BATTLE FOK EUK OPE HAS BEGUN, a battle for which the campaigns in north Africa and Sicily were merely elaborate dress rehearsals. flTHEN the British troops in the south also meet " ' ORGANIZED German resistance, as they un doubtedly will eventually, a similar situation will arise. It will be a fight to the death in that sector, and an end to the "Big Parade" which drove the Italian armies out of Tunisia and Sicily, with com paratively speaking, so little difficulty. This fact was stressed in this column when the British first struck at the toes of the Italian boot: Now the Real Fighting Starts But, judging by today's reader reaction no one paid any particular attention to this statement On all Bides, at least, we are expected set-back in southern Italy, when after the collapse of Mussolini, Italy was expected to fall in the allied lap like north Africa and Sicily just another ripe plum to scoop up and drop in the bag.

Germany could do nothing to correct the first, for she had no fleet; and her main air bases were too far away to do much about the second. As a result Germany, hard put to supply her smaller forces with essential food and ammunition much reinforcements of any sort: tionsholding actions were possible. , The situation is completely changed in Italy with strong German air and land forces occupying the northern part of Italy, and the entire German reserve just the other side of the Alps. No sea blocade here to prevent reinforcements of any kind! And while the allies apparently still enjoy a certain air superiority in Italy, there is no assurance this is going to last for Germany has a series of air fields in north Italy and presumably sufficient planes to mane a real iignt or it. On the other hand the disadvantage that did not Sicily. There was only a brief blanca, and in Sicily only a token Axis resistance, so there was ample opportunity to establish effective bridgeheads before the real 'ihls has not been true troops had barely landed before the Germans who occupied the heights poured in a murderous artillery ! 1 11. 1 I l.-J I . 1 i iue uiiu uitu, uacreu up uy tr g on without interruption U. a. reinforcements are the sea, but landing under :ult at best, and any real aid possible.

But it DOEs mean a terrific battle from this time forward, far more difficult and costly than anything that has preceded it Had the American war phase or the huropean conflict more, and the easy but comparatively minor successes in north Africa and Sicily less, the American people would have been entirely prepared for the present situation at Salemo instead of being caught flat-footed so to speak.

MYSOPHOBIA AND Apparently few readers pay any attention to the instructions for correspondents which are printed regu larly with this column. And so there is al ways a tremen dous accumu lation of letters pertaining t o disease, diag nosis or treat ment, and let ters not writ- ton in Ink- all of them not Or. Brady conforming to instructions. Yet I'd like to re ply to every one of them, even if they do not conform to in structions. That being impossible I can only shuffle a handful of them occasionally and select one by eenle-meenie method to an swer to the best of my ability and with due regard for the health of our readers. So I draw from today's out of order pile a letter from a phar macist, whose lather was a pharmacist, his uncle a physi cian. The correspondent expa tiates for some 500 words about his moylsophobla. He doesn't call it that I do. And I call it by the technical name only after con siderable poring over medical dictionaries. Webster muffed It altogether (at least In the '33 edition), but Webster was getting war mat that time, tor the other phobia, mysophobia, appears in that edition. Mysophobia, Web ster says, is morbid fear of un- cleanliness, filth, dirt. Molys mophobia, Stedman says, is a morbid fear of infection. So far, so good. But having scored on Webster, Stedman (Medical Dictionary. '33). prob ably fearing Webster would take umbrage, hastened to add that molysmophobia means mysopho bia after all. The pharmacist declares he has been compelled to give up his proiession Decause he was in such horrible fear that he might eaten some such disease as gon orrhea, syphilis, Ieprosy( tuber culosis or the like just from handling a prescription that such a patient might bring to his pharmacy.

TPHIS Is the greatest revolution in the history of the world and Its philosophies have en croached upon this hemisphere into your mind and mine. We have borrowed greatly from the totalitarianism this revolution preaches as its first command ment. We have Inched our demo cratic way closer and closer toward centralized government controls in various ways, even toward socialism a little, and certainly we by our new laws and federal att'ons are far down the road to'vard establish ing that the state is no longer the creature of man, but the man is the creature of the state. To meet this revolution, the government seems to have pri marily in mind some kind of a new social security and labor union democracy for postwar. yHE cure for unemployment Is employment not Insur ance. The cure for old-age need is a good wage and a stable country In which savings are protected not a tax collection scheme which drains money out of pockets in a volatile econ omy where inflation and rising or falling prices make social se curity insecure. This is a middle-class country, unlike Europe and Asia where there are only two classes, the very rich and the masses of very poor. In this nation, our su perior democratic way of life has lifted the average standard of living so that our average middle-class person has an auto mobile, a radio, electric com forts, a home, etc., beyond the hopes ot the average European or Asiatic. This, I think, is the funda menial inula wiuhb hi . ir j lngton.

' AU I can say about mysopho bia or molysmophobia is that, in my opinion, plain soap and wa ter Is the most reliable disin fectant one can use for the hands or any other part of the body surface. I'd choose plain laundry or tallet soap and water for my own protection against any such contagion or infection, out of all the chemicals, new and old, that are available as disinfectants, antiseptics or germicides. Simple soap and water washing of the hands after contact with any possible source of infection. If done before the hands touch any thing else, is as nearly absolute protection against any and all such infection as is humanly possible.

TTHE old professional liberals have gone over to totali tarianism. They like subjection of man to the state, just as long as they can run the state.

You have only to compare your own newspapers with Pravda or Voelkirsher-Beobachter or Pop ulo Romana. .
