Johnson, R., Cal.. enfeebled by illness and ad vanced age, rose in the senate Monday and called on his col leagues to declare this country's sympathy for the Greeks, who, he said, "are being shot down like dog with the weapons we furnished. Johnson, who In the days of his vigorous prime after thJ last war t Piped to kill American participation In the league of na tions, Interrupted debate on six state department nominations to utter his plea. He spoke In a voice so feeble that other mem bers crowded close to his scat In order to catch his words. It was Johnson's second speech since bis serious illness more than a year ago. The other was in opposition to the Cunnally peace organization resolution, which was subsenuently idoptcd. Republican senators m o " e d from their side of the nusneo cha'rber to occup democrats' seat betore which Johnson stood. Visiting house members, whu crossed the capital to hear (he debate, also moved In a clus ter behind thu desks on the democratic side of the chamber. The gallery crowd listened sile.itlv to the quavering Call- iornlan whose voice In other days couid rise to thunderous Intensity. .

"Let us nit demand of tt.em that they must, on pain of being shdt down like dogs, surrender to superior 'nrce." Olive Barber's 7S Observations "You're a darling and a tonic," I said to the elderly city bus driver and patting him on the shoulder as I got off at 3rd and University. A chuckle went through the car but I knew it was not at but with me. For the old chap is, I believe, the city's most popular conductor. He'd gone on duty Just a few blocks back. The bus was filled with people hurrying to work. Some knew they were late and It showed In the unrelaxed way they sat; in the forward reach ing of their eyes to the blocks ahead. As the old gentleman entered the car he grinned at the pas sengers and said, "Now don't you worry; Grandpa will get you there In a few minutes." Many smiled their first smile of the day. - We came to a stop before a a resplendently decorated block long store. Many passengers rose and crowded to the door. "Dont push," the old chap cau tioned. "That store's (petty all right but there ain't no bargain sale there today." At each stop he'd call the street, then say something so ridiculous we forgot It was raining and that we were late, waiting for what the driver would say next. Stopping at the post office at 3rd and Union he called, "Same old postofflce; same old president." "You're a darling and a tonic", I said and knew I voiced the feeling of every one on the bus. There Is enough human In terest stuff on just that one dally. trip down town to furnish material for half a doren col urns.

She also had a a gray squirrel fur coat which must have cost several hundred dollars. Yet this was no stranger than the girl I saw down town in a formal, anklets and wedges.

First Army, Belgian - Luxembourg Frontier, Dec. 7 (U.R) "You can't do very much against a tank with a rule, sir." Pf c. ' Harry Garnett of Con- shohocken, Pa., was explaining apologetically to his superior of ficer when he and his fellow en gineers had just fallen back. Tired, worn and muddy, they fell back before 30 panzers and troop carrying half trackswhlch overran our forward positions in ine eariy stages ot marshal Gerd von Rundstedt't offensive into Belgium and Luxembourg. I tried to go forward from a crossroads at a Belgian village south ot Monschau, but the wet and dirty GI's warned:, "They (the Germans) are Just to the south with tanks." Just then a light of eight rocket-firing German planes cam skimming over, and we dived for safety. But the planes weta looking for bigger game back among a concentration of trucks and artillery. ' When they had passed, more men poured In from towns which had been overrun. "Ten German armored vehicles rolled into one town Just after we finished chow," said Pvt. Ivy Wilson of Ocean Springs, Miss. "If we had only had some bazookas boy, what we could have done with bazookas," T'S Monroe Wenmedl of Hamilton, Tex., exclaimed. , Lt. Col. Carthur Sherwood, Jr., New York, who was fitting in a tecond division advance command post when two enemy tanks rolled into town, said: "It was quite an experience having the battle come to us. They got within 100 yards of the command post, and went up in flames when tank destroyers registered direct hits."
