We poor, on the other hand, can look forward to almost every thing. The rich have all on earth they want, so they can't get Joy out of thinking of what they may have at some distant day. In fact, they are afraid of the future. They fear they may grow old or that misfortune may overtake them, but we poor look forward with hope. We think of a trip we are go ing to take as soon as we are able and of the easy time we shall have when we get out eight youngsters through school and will no longer have to wor ry 'over their childhood ail ments. Yes, we poor have a fine time looking to the future, while the unfortunate rich have nothing to cheer them except a bright happy and easy pres ent." (Kansas City Times.) There are 37 air fields and hundreds of landing bays for ca planes in Alaska already, with more planned for an early boom Wednesday, Mot. 14, 194S Editorial Correspondence Boston, Mass., Nov. 7: City taxi-drivers are almost always pungent political commentators. Said one of them this morning when we asked him what he thought of the local election: "Curlcy again! And they cussed out Germarfy for electing Hit ler!" Curley is a cheap politician, and heads one of the most cor rupt machines in American politics, but the people of Boston have now elected him chief Burgomaster for the fourth time or is it the fifth? and the people of Massachusetts have elected him twice to the Lower House of Congress. Curlcy sees no reason why he should not hold both Jobs and draw two salaries. He WOULDN'T! And this time Curley beat all previous records. It wasn't a case of splitting the opposition among many candidates. Curlcy got more than all of them put together! How can one explain such a thing here in the "Athens of America?" There may be some way to rationalize it but all we can make out of it is: more people in Boston (our taxi driver prefers to call it "Bahstun") prefer crooked to honest government! At least more do who go to the polls to vote. e As before stated down-town Boston has changed very little. Jakey Wirth's down near the South Station has not changed at all. It is the only thing we have encountered to date which hasn't Just a little. The Park Square church for example is much the same but it has had its face lifted and some fresh white paint put on its beauti ful steeple. The Old South Church ditto. But Jakie's no paint or face-lifting there we doubt if a spitoon or a flake of sawdust has been moved in 40 years. Yes Its a grand place! We took a stroll to the docks and down Atlantic Avenue named after the ocean to get there. Atlantic Avenue also has always been one of our favorites there is no other avenue in the country quite like It. Its "Old World" slippery cobblestones, dirty wharfs, and that strange aroma, a mixture of molasses and burning coffee. And the little sailor eating Joints "see what you can get here for 25 cents!" At Jakle Wirth's the same old bare wooden floor, wooden tables without tablecloths, the same cane-bottomed, unyielding chairs, the hooks on the wall for your coat and if you have a Mat there Is a shelf for that and the bald-headed waiters rushing about clean white aprons over No place In the world the beer as Jakie's, especially the deep brown brew, that doesn't come from Germany anymore, but is almost as good as when it did. And that aroma of coffee again, only its steaming here and there is a strong odor of sauerkraut in the air, augmented by belied cabbage, while the food is cheap but delicious. And before all and above although the place is dingy it is also CLEAN. We got In Just In time 12:30 trying to get in reaching out to U. S. Colonel with three rows of a beautiful lady in black on his If you have ever worried about the survival of Dro-football. forget it. Fenway Park is only a spite of the blizzard on Sunday we decided to walk over and see what there was to see. We couldn't imagine anyone going to see a pro-game in such weather, though we realized there are no rain checks in football whatever the weather the show goes on. Imagine the editorial surprise when we ran into a double line three blocks long at the main gate. And there were over 20,000 fans on hand when the whistle blew with at least 5000 sitting In the bleachers with no protection from the elements and there they sat and yelled their heads off throughout the game while it blew and snowed and snowed. It was a thrilling game, and emphasized what we have often said about pro-football the pros play the game as it should be played and so seldom is in the college leagues. The score was 10 to 0, Detroit winning over Boston, but the result was In doubt until the final second was ticked off. Not only was tho game played in a blizzard but a small sec tion of tho fielt,! was under water it was through this water Bos ton drove during the final few minutes of the game and it was a sight to see as the players plowed through the H20 like so many PT's coming In to a beachhead. Boston had only a few yards to go for a goal when tho gun sounded. a Professional football has draw-backs, of course. No one Is in there to do or die for dear Old Siwash, there is no organized cheering, no color or very little both on the field and In the stands it is pretty much a business proposition. The players pliy the best ball they are capable of, for they know they won't keep their Jobs if they don't. The spectators pay their money to sue good football and they root for their home team. But if they lose they don't break down and blubber, as we have known some of the rooters and players to do in intercollegiate games in the past. In fact, one of our earliest recollections of college football is see ing several of tho University of Pennsylvania players, unexpect edly beaten by Harvard, crying like babies as they climbed Into their horse drawn bus, near the gate at the old Soldiers Field. Seems silly in retrospect, but that intensity of feeling has not disappeared by any means, and as long as it endures college foot ball will remain tho greatest outdoor sport in all amateur athletics. a , Incitlently we are following the grand and glorious victory march of the M11S football team, apparently one of the greater t teams in Medford's enviable football history. Certainly from here it looks liko the state championship or at least Medford as one of the final contenders. (Hope to get back in time to see It!) (R. W. R.)

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Nov. 14 The stage Mr. Truman set for the management labor conference looked better from the back of the wings than the way you saw it out front. And better than that was the recasting the president did of the prin cipal roles. You may have read here be iaui itlalluo forehand that John L. Lewis, who is not only a living Hamlet but inspired the play which union labor has en acted the last few years (sit down strike, organiztion of C. I. O.), was scheduled to carry a spear. He had been limited to one vote and no representation on committees. But when the curtain went up there was Mr. Lewis, prac tically In center stage, less talk ative than usual and without a spotlight on him, yet visibly the unannounced star. In tact, the assigned roles were openly revised and the executive com mittee enlarged to give him full representation. a a A FEW days before Mr. Tiu- man had called Lewis into the White House. It was not only the first time Lewis had seen the Inside of that august edifice for years; it had been years since he had even seen Truman. They had met when Truman was investigating war contracts as a senator'. Lewis came in with other union leaders, Dtit remained behind for a private unreported talk. He expressed a sincere personal Interest in success for the conference; made clear his belief it was time to get back to collective bargain ing (in contradiction to all this nonsense of strikes, arguments, politics and chaos) and said he was ready to cooperate. This was a bonanza for Tru man, in the theatrical terminol ogy of the day. The conference was being publicly foredoomed. The dominant power was Hill mun and his C. I. O. It was he who took the initiative in hand ing Lewis the spear role. His tactics are always to fight, fiht, fight especially when the time has come to make peace. Re crimination or selfish political advantage always seem to be guiding stars he cannot get away from and these practical ly exclude the barest possibility of peace. a a EWIS took hold. The first L' thing, with A. F. of L 's Bill Green standing by his side (Green could never handle Hill man), Lewis turned his builct eyes, camouflaged under . Kar loff eyebrows, upon the follow er of Mars and said mailers would be handled thus and so. They practically were. The chances for final, con vincing peace are hazardous, of course, but this is the way the stage was happily reset to im- j STUfFY HU0 COLO A I 3 dropa strike fast to clor throuch cold- I l clogrti no. you IWI tntt?r quickly. v Caution: lf only mU. ygEyA 1 j d ' V" m TRIBUTE TO SERVICE WOMEN t A, 4 ,- X- 7n ' f W- ?V--' SERVED IN NEW GUINEA. Master Bgt. Margaret E. Sterling of Los Angeles received the first bronze star medal awarded to Women's Army Corps members for especially valuable service in the New Guinea area. She spent some months as classification and personnel expert and received her award for performing duties which released men for other operations. With millions of men anxious to return to their families, such experienced women can perform valuable service if backed by Victory Bonds that will buy needed supplies for them. U. S. Treasury Department, prove them at the last minute. The first two days were steam vented with speech-making and then the opposing factions went off the front pages and into committee meetings to do the real business. My information is that the agreed goals were two: A Adopt a set of new, strong principles under which labor and management can live. B To set up new machinery for collective bargaining. a a a fHE principles should not prove excessively difficult. The machinery is the important thing. The national labor rela tion and war labor boards have been farces which no one wants to play longer, except the Hill-man-Murray combination, which is the only one that got much out of It for itself. The idea of new labor boards, more honest, more judicial tre ating a refuge where both sides can go to get justice instead of political or high-pressure settle ments) is one solution which seems obvious to me. The rail way mediation board is a nat tern, which has prevented gen eral strikes in that industry for nearly 20 years. It was formed back when just such a situation as now controls labor nationally was evident in that one indus try. Railway management and labor got together and wrote a law, providing cooling off peri ods before strikes and just me diation. This cannot be done, how ever, for every union in the country, say those who are in timate experts with an objective inner view of the problem. They think such a board or boards would be smothered with cases from every drugstore or laun dry. The machinery, they assert, would be too cumbersome. The job of fact-finding alone would be stupendous. My own belief is that if you lay down a genuine set of prin ciples sufficiently genuine to get both sides honestly in favor of making them work the gov ernment will have far fewer case's than you might guess from the existing conditions. I think such a solution would achieve stabilization of the current chaos rather swiftly. A solution like that would have the greatest power in the world behind it, the knowledge and co-operstion of the people in establishing right. Success or failure of the con ference rests upon the degree of which this one single prin ciple is achieved.

Not all of the names were included, and in one instance, Naval Academy appointments were listed as Military Academy appointments, and vice versa. However, all of the boys con cerned were notified at the time of the 'release of the press story. As has been explained before, appointments that I make to the Naval and Military Academies are based on the grades earned by the candidates in a Civil Service preliminary examina tion. Any boy between the ages of 18 and 22 may compete for appointment to the Military Academy, and any boy between 17 and 21 may compete for ap pointment to the Naval Acad emy. Boys in my district who de sire to take these examinations must notify me so that I can ar range for them to take the ex amination. The last competitive examination was on July 28th of this year. The next one will probably be held next spring or summer. I will not know until next spring how many vacan cies I will have to fill in 1946, bat I feel certain there will be one or more in each academy as the result of graduation. Requests for permission to take the examination and com pete for these appointments may be sent to me at any time. a e I BELIEVE the hearing con ducted by the Special- Small Business Committee of the House of Representatives on No vember 8th to consider the OPA announced intention of lower ing automobile dealer discounts was the largest gathering of Senators and Representatives ever seen at such a hearing. Some 300 members of Congress were present, and many of them testified. I not only was pres ent at the hearing, but asked Chester Bowles, OPA adminis trator, to delay formal an nouncement of his ruling until the hearing could be completed. The facts presented clearly revealed to me, and I hope re vealed to the OPA, that OPA's insistence on this discount re duction plan will drive thou sands of small automobile deal ers out of business.
