The President now admits after semi-denials, that he used a naughty word in a voting booth on election day when the vot ing machine got out of whack, momentarily; He denies any pre fix and taking the name of' the Deity in vain.

However, the chief executive alleges one of the half dozen reporters presentwas " aw fully deaf," and suggests the services of a good ear doctor.

So here we are on the eve There are more saddened year than was true a year ago. And we fear there will be still more a year hence, for the casualties of this war are almost certain come to final victory. Yet comDannir the general situation or this coun try with that of any other in the world, and where can one find words to adequately express' the many reasons for our being thankful! FORTUNATE fortunate America! The war i3 not yet over, but on. all fronts.it is beine won. Peace as far as Europe is concerned will surely be here long before another Thanksgiving can roll around. And while the fighting may continue another year or more in the Far East, there will be thousands and thousands of soldiers some of our own boys who will be through with combat when the German conflict ends. They will come home! Devastation, suffering and destruction on the east of us, the same on the west, but here in this huge country, not a bomb falling, not a cannon roaring, not a rifle fired, hot s6 much as an hour's sleep dis turbed, as far as the roar of battle is concerned. y e e e e A ND practically speaking not a person in this broad land in need of food or shelter certainly a Promised Land, a land of Biblical milk of honey, if It is literally true, that as tions are suffering all over ahead of them in the future, and then look at our own status and our own fails to supply the words to properly express the spirit or at least what SHOULD be the spirit-of THIS Thanksgiving. A poet assisted oy a great composer is reany need ed to do the job. Or perhaps a hymn and a prayer! Why Bill Scratched" W. L. White, famous son of a famous father, re turned to Emporia, Kansas, in time to vote. In the Emporia Gazette something his father the late William Allen White, never did. Young Bill would vote for a Democrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, for President! He wasn t very proud of umn of explanation largely in praise of Governor Dewey, and his conduct in the campaign. But he end ed by declaring that in spite of his high' regard for the Governor of Mew York he had decided to vote for Roosevelt for one reason, and one reason ONLY. THAT one reason was "Russia." iamny iraaiiion vv iu A KITT'llI, policies all his life but NEVER supported a Democrat is so interesting. coming from a young man and first hand knowledge of Europe and especially Stalin and Russia, that we reprint the closing por tion as follows: ' Stalin really trusts no one. But he has come to believe that Roosevelt is not hostile to him, and that any European system which Roosevelt has a hand in organizing will not . be directed against Russia. To the extent that he believes this, Stalin is willing to consent to a truly free Europe. To the extent that he doubts It, he will Insist on strengthen ing and extending his present system of Communist-controlled puppet governments on Russia's borders. If the president is reelected, I think we will arrive at some kind of friendly compromise with Stalin over European governments and boundaries. Like all compro mises, it won't get us all we hope for. Many of Mr. Dewey's supporters feel that the president has not been firm enough with the Russians; possibly Mr. Dewey shares their views. If he does and Is elected, he will quickly find that he is no longer district attorney, and that Marshal Stalin will not be in the least frightened when he pounds the desk and flashes his eyes. Of course Mr. Dewey, by refusing all compromise, might temporarily win much applause in this country. But this might bring either an Immediate war which I believe can . be avoided, or else Mr. Dewey would be forced back into the isolationist position of some of his early supporters; retiring in disgust and withdrawing from Europe all our armies and economic support leaving responsibility for bringing order out of chaos squarely on Stalin's red army generals and his political commissars. This they would quickly accept. I doubt that even such staunch isolationists as Colonel McCormick and Mr. Hearst would be entirely . pleased with the result. No one should doubt Mr. Dewey's sincerity when he endorses In principle the Roosevelt foreign policy. But can he execute It? It is one thing to endorse, from the bleachers, the tennis principles of Big Bill Tilden. It is quite another to step out on tho court with a racket in your hand and play as smooth and fast a game as the champ. And for this sole reason I shall next Tuesday vote to . give the President a fourth term, W. L. W. War ElectedRD. R. Another interesting feature of the Bill White re marks is the confirmation it gives to the frequent claim in this department that, but for the war, Presi dent Roosevelt would have been overwhelmingly de feated.

BOTH this year and four We quote: Today's election will be close. But Its Issues are so clear that it Is possible to say now, while the votes are being cast and before they are counted, exactly who is and who Is not being given a popular mandate to do exactly what. Had not foreign affairs been an Important issue both In 1940 and 1044. Mr. Roosevelt would both times have been snowed unds-r at the polls. This means, that even should our votes today elect him, he will have no mandate in the domestic affnirs of this nation. In this field the country has clearly been long ripe for a change. It wants private business to get the green light in the postwar period In the big task of putting the returned soldiers back to work.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Nov. 22 Mr. Roosevelt and the labor leaders are hardly acting out the roles naturally ex pected from their campaign victory. In one col umn on ' the front pages yesterday was the 'announce ment of Eco nomic Stabiliz er Vinson that the President Paul Halloa would turn ' down a general wage Increase before the defeat,-! ui uermany, ouering nigner wages afterward. - Next to it was CIO President Phil Murray's equally surprising and reasonable extension of an olive branch to industry, prom ising continuance of the no strike pledge until that same date and offering cooperation with management thereafter. But even less anticipated gen erally was the simultaneous ap peal from the AFL asking the CIO for labor unity. e e e fHERE are good reasons for these strange turn of events. The President himself is behind them all. While labor generally may have expected a payoff in a wage increase immediately after the election, Mr. Roosevelt Is supposed to have summoned Messrs. Murray, Green and oth ers and laid down the law for restrained and reasonable non political developments of the sit uation. Of course, there is consider able room for doubt as to how thoroughly this new plan of co operation instead of fighting will be carried forward. Some strikes were on at the time the Presi dent acted, and more will follow. An extension of them i" not im probable. While they are being attri buted to rather minor individual complaints by many local un ions, they may represent a com mon determination to resist the government's new hold-the-line policy. yHE Ohio telephone strike, for instance, was attributed to complaints that o u t-of-t own workers were allowed extra transportation pay back and forth, which seemed like an ex treme method of correcting a minor abuse, Behind it was dis satisfaction of this independent union with the delays of the war labor board and the resent ment of the local union lead ers against what they termed generally mishandling by ' the American Telephone and Tele graph company. Strikes these days can be called apparently for any rea son at all, and it Is quite clear that the maintenance of a gen eral, reasonable labor attitude is going to be a difficult prop osition, especially after the Nazis are defeated. It is much too early to guess whether this is Just a hiatus or a successful turn in the labor situation trend e e THE CIO, of course, otherwise the President's move toward de nial of tfielr effort to break the Little Steel formula, which is the whole oenter of the line-holding program. It challenged the bureau of labor statistics' figures, indicat ing the rise In living costs has been only 29 or 30 per cent. In fact, labor members of WPB es timated the increase at 43.5 per cent. Statistics these days are gen erally what you want to make them. The bureau of labor sta tistics counted several items In the cost of living, while the labor unions counted others. But there is an unchallenge able necessity for Mr. Roosevelt's attitude. The main economic trouble with the nation today' is that there is more cash in circulation than goods to be bought. ""ASH is piling up in the banks, is being spent willy-nilly by those with swollen war Incomes. A condition has been created which is essentially the sellers' market. Black markets are made ad vantageous to both seller and buyer. The buyer Is willing to pay nearly anything demanded because he has a surplus amount of cash (in general, that is), while the seller can, by many devices of degrading his products or un der the counter selling, evade the government's restriction. When this is done on a na . . .GOOD HEALTH Your Greofasf Possession ft.eate It fey feelae relieved el Hemorrhoids (Ptl.i), Fks sure. n.tula, Horate (Rup ture), Our raothod el troat asont without hospital op eraltoa sueeo.tlully ut.d lor M Tears.

Now, If the government grant ed another general wage In crease, it would of necessity force conditions far worse than they are today. The buyer, na tionally speaking, would have some billions more of cash and the seller would have no more products. The open market would be tigher and the black mantel bigger.

TELEPHONE 2675 AMBULANCE SERVICE m 1 VIA RED CROSS Washington 03.fi The pris oner oi war information bureau of the army provost marshal general's office, with the records of 65,000 Americans interned in enemy countries in their files, recently revealed how American prisoners are contacted. Ninety-nine -per cent of pris oner of war information comes from Germany and Japanese re ports sent through the Interna tional Red Cross at Geneva, Switzerland, they explained. One per cent of prisoner reports are sent by a protecting or neu tral power' other than Switzer land. . ' A few prisoners are reported on enemy short-wave broadcasts, but Col. Howard Bresee, head of the prisoner of war informa tion bureau, warned that these reports are not reliable. Germany Cuts Time ' It usually takes 00 days for a man to be reported a prisoner of war, but Germany has cut the time down ' to 30 or 43 days. As soon as the report is verified, telegram Is sent to the next-of-kin. Gen. Dwlght D. Elsenhower, commanding general of -the al lied forces in Europe, has on file at his headquarters - complete statistics on every American prisoner of war In Germany. As soon as the prison camps are overrun by the allies, the prisoner of war Information bu reau takes the names out of their official, file. At present, they are waiting to send a list of Ameri cans interned by the Japanese to Gen. Douglas MafcArthur, al lied supreme commander In the southwest Pacific. Receive Food Packages Every month, 1,100,000 11 pound food packages are sent to American prisoners army, navy, marines, merchant marine, coast guard and civilians to be distributer! by the International Red Cross. Much of it is army food, and the army also contrib utes clothing. The next-of-kin designated by the internee can send a package every 60 days, but regular food 1 parcels are '' distributed . every j week. Prisoners say the pack ages, containing 4,000 calories, are what keep them alive. There is no chance of accumu lating food to make an escane because cans are- punctured as ! soon as they are given out by the enemy. , t In August the Red Cross sent Christmas packages to every prisoner of war. They'll have a complete Christmas dinner soup to nuts as well as Christ mas presents.
