MAKES PLEA FOR
GREEK SYMPATHY
Washington, Dec. 10 U.B
Sen. Hiram W. 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 hold out hope to all
small nations that the) can live
their lives in peace" the 78-year-old
Johnson ald. "Let us
nit demand of tt.em that they
must, on pain of being shdt down
like dogs, surrender to superior
'nrce."

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. It was raining this morn
ing and water had collected In
little pools on the sidewalk, A
woman hurried by. She had on
silk bedroom slippers of an else-

heels were wrinkled and dirty.
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.
But who am I to say anything.
With .the hat I had on, I must
have looked like a pumpkin

Speaking of fur coats, I saw
one on display in a store win

United Press War Correspondent
With the U. S. 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."
