Times) "I must confess that it gets my male goat to hear women thus arrogating to themselves full credit for some conaltjer able acts of their mates that, proceed solely from their husbands' own decency. When, wives boast of having their effect labeling them as poor, mates "trained." they are in weak saps who are easily led and fooled.

The "Border Line " Problem Sneakinsr of nost-war problems we wonder how many people have noticed the prevalence of war veterans names in recent reports of tragedy and crime. Yesterday in Carteret. New Jersey, an ex-soldier in a sudden fit of berserkian rage, killed his father-in-law, two policemen and a bystander. Also yesterday in Hollywood Douglas McPhail, romantic screen baritone, recently discharged from the service, committed suicide. Such items are almost a commonplace in the cur rent news. What do they mean? e e e THEY mean that casualties of war, and especially this war, are not confined, by any means, to physical disabilities, but mental disabilities as well. And frequently npt to mental disabilities that can be readily recognized and therefore treated as such, but just inner maladjustments, nervous and mental, caused by the destructive experiences of this war, particularly among those of sensitive and impression able natures. , TPHE two cases cited above, may or may not,, come nrnnavlu linrlat alir.ll a tlaaair'iriafinn Hllf rrioro is no doubt of this: , . The best psychiatric skill this country can produce, and the finest clinical care that can be devised, will both be needed and needed now to deal with this returned soldier problem. The pen who return physically impaired will of course be properly cared for. But the men who re- turn' sound on the outside in body and limb, but im paired within, nervously or mentally, and yet not apparent and clear cut "mental cases" won't be. That is they won't be, unless some program is de vised and devised soon to take care of what might be termed the "border line" problem. Again Looking Forward . A correspondent "calls" ye editor on his recent prediction that after another quarter century there won't be a genuine democracy or a monarchy from the North Cape to Vladivostock. "How about England?" the correspondent asks.' We said FROM the North Cape not including it although after another 25 years the people of Eng land might we said MIGHT decide that maintain ing a royal house however decorative and respected, could no longer be afforded. e e e e e DUT we believe the next quarter century will see far reaching and fundamental political changes in Europe, and throughout the world for that matter. Eventually these changes may produce some sort of United States of Europe, a confederation of more or less independent states, loosely held together for common defense and mutual benefit. But we don't believe this can be brought about in as brief a time as 20 .or 25 years. In this post-war period, therefore, we look for so much change, readjustment and confusion, that any democracy that is any country where the people actually rule can not exist, and any constitutional monarchy, will not be able to survive. . e e e e e QR TO express the same idea in another way, we look for some form of political totalitarianism to be dominant in Europe after this war and until the political tidal waves caused by the most terrible cata clysm in human history have subsided. We may be wrong hope we are. But at least our doubting correspondent will have to wait until 1970 to PROVE itl De Gaulle Consults Stalin As a footnote to thft nhnvn it mio-lit Via Tinted "!on- eral DeGaulle "provisional president" of France, is now in Moscow talking thintra over with Comrade Stalin.

Now that Mr, Biddle's assist n t, Norman Littell, has been fired for 1 n s u b ordin- ordln a t e 1 y making the ao cusa t i o n, he has taken the charge to congress for investiga tion. Not much more Investiga tion is required. A congression al investigator who has seen the record of Biddle's telephone calls (apparently all calls nt even the highest . are clocked here since the war started) says it shows frequent phoning back and forth between the attorney general and Corcoran. Indeed Biddle does not deny Corcoran was his friend. Behind the aired controversy. singularly, is the fact that Cor coran now is practically No. 1 on the new deal hate list. Harry Hopkins never liked the brash young Irishman who contested with' him for Inner power. Hop- Kins and David Niles, who are nearest the president, now would be glad enough to see anything happen to Tcmmy. Indeed. I am told that if Cor coran called the White House today he could find no one who would talk to him, despite the service (or dis-servlce) he did the new deal by inspiring and inwardly conducting the repack ing of the supreme ourt, his earlier work in development of the security exchange commis sion legislation (an excellent job) and some other legal gum shoeing. But when Corcoran some years ago was calling congress men and saying, "This is the White House speaking we ex pect you to jump," he managed to befriend a great many gov ernment men, clearing paths for their advancement in office, bringing young lawyers Into powerful government jobs from their insignificant labors. One of those he helped was Biddle. Then Corcoran quit govern ment service (which was about to quit him because of his grow ing unpopularity) In order to cash In on his connections In a way not unique among public men. His friends say he was disillusioned by his government experience, but he was not a man of many Illusions. Fabulous stories are told of the money he has since acquir ed. Perhaps he has managed to sequester $100,000 a year, after taxes, but he is far from a mil lion, I suspect. His clients are not the best possible and he apparently Is - not extremely finicky about whom he acquires as a client. He never tappears before congressional committees, but sometimes can be seen cor nering congressmen.' But, as I say, nothing is like ly to come of the Littell charge that Corcoran influenced Ms friend, the attorney, general, in the specific matter of a Georgia shipyards case, largely because congress is the only force likely to pursue the charge, and con gress is not in the mood. The truth Is the heart was taken out of it In the last election. It wiU pass such acts as the freezing of the social security tax against Mr. Roosevelt's wishes, because it had planned that and knows Increase of the tax January 1 is not justifiable . for any social security purposes. (Mr. R. just wants to raise all the money he can for war purposes from every possible source.) But as for in vestigating the whitewashing of Kimmell and Short or whoever above them needs whitewashing, or pursuing Tommy Corcoran, with its customary righteous in dignation, it lost both righteous ness and indignation on Novem ber 7. My guess Is that Hopkins and Niles will personally and pri vately see to it that Corcoran does not make much money and that will be about all there will be to it. local orchardlst and agitator. serving life term for murder- Fair.
