But what vacationist at a lake or mil resort, wants to get out of bed, in the middle of the night, and run against the wind. An auto showed up In traffic yesterday with the driver toot ing a horn, worth more than the auto. e The Republican party Is now quietly "weighing presidential candidates for 1948," a report states. None as yet have stepped on the scales, and been found willing. European coal mines have re opened two months after the sur render of Germany, In the world's war. In this country, it takes that long, for Pennsylvania mine operators our government bureaus, and the miners to get mad at each other. e e The per capita debt, after the war, Including the cost of the last named, will be $2,200. At present the per capita debt Is only $11.06, with the banks all so full of money, the cashier has to step outside to take a deep breath. e , NICE WEATHER FOR IT (Florida Times) "Speaking of tall folks Alexis Smith has never worn anything but her stockings or ballet slippers for close-ups with her loading men," The Potsdam conference, now at an end, provides that Rursla gets the lion's share of the re parations from Germany, in the zone she rules, and that the 'super-race', In the future, will devote Itself 'to the development of agriculture, and purely peace ful domestic Industries in the Reich'. The Soviet also wants East Prussia, where two world wars were hatched by the lead ing inhabitants. This will even tually leave the krauts with nothing to wage war upon, but Canadian thistles in the fence corners, and yellow mustard In the wheat. Outside of farming, the most warlike nation, will have nothing much to do, but behave. Behold the Mouse! Impressions depend upon expectations. If you expect a rich uncle to leave you $50,000 and he only leaves you $1,000, you are shocked and dis appointed. But if you expect your rich uncle to leave you nothing and he leaves you $1,000, why, you are surprised and delighted. In one case the legacy is a washout. In the other unexpected manna from the Promised Land. Yet, in both cases the sum is the same 1 CO with this long-awaited and highly-publicized "communique" from Potsdam. Everyone, or almost everyone, had great expec tations. And the powers that be did everything to stimulate and inflate such expectations. Never before had there been such an atmosphere of impenetrable hush-hush and suspense concerning such an affair. Day after day the press boys were given nothing but apple sauce, and often not even that. Why? Because if what was really going on within the confines of the "palazzio" were to leak out to the outside world by any chance, one teeny weenie word ! before it had been properly .toned down and dressed up for mass consumption. Why the very heavens might fall, and all the sacrifices of six years of horrible war go for naught ! That was the build-up. e e e e AS a result, not only the press boys, but all the allied world and the Axis world too, no doubt, or what's left of it! were on the tip-toe of expectation when it was finally announced in bated breath, that the official "communioue" proclaiming what had been accomplished at this historic Potsdam gathering would be simultaneously released from London, Washington and Moscow. Anyone who so much as allowed one little monosyllabic bit to leak out be fore that fateful hour would be shot at sunrise and his carcass thrown to the vultures, or words to that effect. WHAT a build-up! Nothing to compare with it since Cecil DeMille concocted the "Last Days of Pompeii" out of combin ing Paines' fireworks factory and Barnum and Bailey's accumulation of silver tinsel and sawdust. Then as the hour struck 12 in Potsdam, the moun tain moved and brought forth You guessed it, A MOUSE! MOT that the declaration is without importance Anv declaration that decides the immediate fate of a nation, and nations must be important. But all that was known before had been fully discussed and meanwhile discounted. Everyone had been pepped-up to expect so much more. And then fnven so little. so little that was new, at least! In fact after reading the report two or three times this department has been able to find NOTHING new. Nothing indeed that any well-posted American newspaper correspondent, given the assignment of predicting what the outcome of the Big Three, gather ing at Potsdam would be, could not have written up in advance and gone no nearer Germany, than the air cooled bar in the Mayflower hotel. NOTHING! dispute with France in 1799; the victory of the cutter Eagle over the British brig Dispatch in 1812; flushing the pirates along the old Spanish Main ; taking part in the Havana blockade and fighting with Dewey at Manila Bay in 1898.

But today, with 172,000 Guardsmen at battle sta tions throughout the world, this service is writing new and glorious pages in history. Normally a part of the Treasury Department, en trusted with the task of maintaining safety at sea and enforcing maritime laws, the Coast Guard has emerged today a powerful fighting aim of the Navy. It has participated in every major invasion launched since the start of this war, transporting thousands of troops to bajttle zones and landing them on beaches under fire. It helped to smash the U-boat threat of Germany in the desperate days of 1942 and 1943. e e e A ND yet the business of battle has not slackened the Coast Guard's thorough job of manning life saving stations, maintaining iceberg and weather pat rols, supervising merchant marine inspection, servic ing aids to navigation and patrolling 40,000 miles of shoreline. With 10,000 SPARS taking over shore jobs, most Coast Guardsmen are seeing sea duty these days. ... Yes. the TJ. S.

News Behind The News By Paul MalloD Washington, Aug. 3 One sen ator leaped up during the peace charter debate and protested the dull harmony urging some o p p onents to start a fight about o m e- thing. In order to bestir head lines, saying he was suspi clous of the quality of the peace arrange ment because opposition was Into nsequen tlal. He was only half-obligated by Senator Wheeler, who point ed to the Interpretation which the stale department had allow ed to grow into a general accept ed conclusion, that use of troops to keep the peace would require two thirds ratification by the senate as a new treaty upon each occasion. This caused great perturba tion inside the administration, although It was not divulged. i u'i'"iy' i mum XAtl. Paul alamiii The state department obviously had blundered in permitting I Messrs. Dulles, Vandenberg and others to testify to such an in- I terpretation, without contradic tion, as if to accept the idea ! Hastily Mr. Truman was called to the rescue by administration senators, and he saved the situ ation witn a special message promising to ask congress (not just the senate) for approving legislation in the use of troops, so approval would require only a majority vote. IN MY opinion this flurry did 1 not get down to the probable consequences of the matter on eitner side. The common inter pretation at San Francisco was that each nation would be called upon in advance to specify what troops, planes and ships could be used by the security council, thus to get them aside in a way for use. If so, these specified portions could be used by the council without regard to legis latures, and whether Mr. Tru man asked approval later, pos sibly after the action was over. could not mean much. This may only become clear later. In any event the initial unity of this nation on a world peace for mula was achieved by 89 to 2, culmination of the earnest ef forts of one man, former State becretary Hull, who alone among officials championed this course in the beginning against the new dealing desire to force senate ratification of their con troversial peace plans by major ity senate vote. Yet the news was played In ' Canada, where 1 was, on the back page of the metropolitan papers. On the front page were matters, judged not rashly, as of greater importance on the same subject, such as suggestions from London that the new labor government of Britain would collaborate with Russia on Greece and Spain (where Churchill has tried to build up resisting roadblocks to Stalin's march over the continent); a Paris story wondering If De Gaulle would ever survive the fall elections against the com munists, and even a little New York item, telling how the American communists voted to reform their party for aggressive domestic political purposes. The prominence given these consid erations did not violate a reason able balance of values because: DEHIND the peace formula Is the primary assumption that Britain and the United States would work in unison to main tain its alms. Administration of it is to be in the hands of a Big Five. If a British policy of col laboration with Russia's political aims is followed by a communist victory In France, the calculated council balance upon which we are entering the peace will hive been upset. We would then have the backing of China China, where Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek Is flanked by a communist army.
