There is considerable Ailied
anxiety. lest the trial procedure
of the Nazi war criminnls at
Nuernberg be not up to legal
snuff and painfully correct. The
defendants themselves at the
height of their aboriginal cusped
ness had no squeamishness about
such things. When they wore
irked, they ordered the massacre
of the entire population of Rus
sian and Czechoslovaklan vill
ages, before their current lawyer
could pronounce the name of the
village.

Boston, Mass., Nov. 25 You can get some things in Boston
you can get nowhere else in the United States to-wit:
Prompt laundry service.
Cultured taxi drivers.
British stout and ale.
Genuine French bread and pastry.
Old World atmosphere.
Also yesterday in front of the old "Vic" we saw a Stanley
Steamer with steam up and a chauffeur in royal purple uniiorm
on the box! We believe the Stanley Steamer dates back far before
World War I.
The calling off of red points on meat was pretty well timed.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving many people are still eating cold
turkey. At any rate we tripped into Faneuel Market to see the
excitement and while there was considerable action, the market
boss claimed it was the dullest Saturday in many months. At
that we saw young and old hurrying away with hams and bacon,
steaks and roast beef, with something the look of Joy and appre
hension noticed years ago. Just after the family bootlegger had
called, and "Popskl" was hurrying home with the month's supplies.

When Greek meets Greek the result is a restaurant, but when
Irish meets Irish the result is a fight. The Irish of Holy Cross and
the Irish of Boston College are meeting at Fenway Park this (Sun
day) afternoon in their annual football match and the rooters are
already gathering.
It probably won t be much of a contest as Holy Cross has one
of the best football teams in the East while Boston College is far
down the list. But it will be a fight, with the spectators probably
taking part before It is over. Just returned from a walk up the
street and never saw so many souvenir vendors and pennant
salesmen, the football badges and the pennants being a little
larger than usual, the vendors voices a little louder, the under
graduates considerably more excited than you find at' Cambridge
or New Havenl
Wrong again! It was a very tame performance, Holy Cross
won 41 to 0. There was no excitement either on the field or in
the stands, the only interesting feature being boos from a group
of Boston College girls and boys for a member of their own team
when he was caught about 10 yards back of the line and fumbled
the ball. He stinks! one of the pretty girls shouted, slapping the
derby hat of her escort with her pennant.
Governor Tobln and a group of influential Bostonians landed
in London yesterday by plane, hopping off from here the day be
fore.
How times have changed since Lindbergh! then flvlne across
the Atlantic was a seven-day wonder, now its routine not nearly
as exciting as flying across the English channel was two or three
decades ago.
As before stated Boston wants to get the UNO headauarters
as do a dozen or more other American cities. We will say this
for Boston, the site they have picked out on the banks of the
Charles Is a beautiful one, but the Boston climate, can't say
much for that at this time of year.
Bad news! MHS beaten out by Grant 7-6, although Medford
made more first downs and gained more yardage. Well, that's
TERRIBLY disappointing to all members of the False Friends
club. Can't win all the time, and to be beaten by only one point
by a team like Grant is no disgrace. Moreover, that is football
it is one of the most uncertain sports in the world. Imagine Cali
fornia beating UCLA and wasn't it OSC that toppled over Wash
ington? Only a few geniuses like the manager of the First National
bank can always dope out football results!

We note Senator Morse wants the UNO Participation Act
amended so as to make appeals to the World Court In all inter
national disputes threatening international peace, COMPULSORY.
Entirely right, as usual!
Imagine what our civil and criminal would do if parties to a
dlsputo could leave the decision up to the courts if they wished to,
or If they preferred fight it out or just do nothing at all. No
guilty party, no party not certain of benefitting by court action,
would go to the court at all. Courts would then have little to do but
draw their pay and twiddle their thumbs.
Which reminds us don't know just-why, that we had lunch
up at the Kenmore Hotel the other day, a few steps up Common
wealth Avenue and a group of .college football coachesi Including
Coach Harlow of Harvard and Coach Little of Columbia hsd a
table nearby. A new waitress served them and when she spied
Coach Harlow marking the table cloth with his football diagrams
an old Ivy League habit, she swept down on him witn the
startling reprimand:
"Would you do that in your own home misten
Coach Harlow, really very much of a gentleman as well as a
scholar, was so taken aback he could only murmur "sorry."
Later when he had regained his poise he declared the incident
reminded him of the time Coach Little of Columbia was so in
trigued by some of his (Harlow's) table cloth "doodling" that when
the luncheon was over this was in New York, however, he
took the table Cloth home with him and told the management to
send the C.A.A. the bill! R.W.R.

In her book "Marriages Are
Mudo At Home" Clarlta De
Forcevllle soys: "No man is born
a husband. The best husbands
are made at home. Candidly, I
mean 'trained' but let us keep
it a dark secret. Let me add
quickly that wives need to be
trained as well." We are glad to
be able to record the admission
of ho necessity of wife training
by such a distinguished feminine
authority. .
As always, our horses and
women department is at the
service of any subscriber who
may feci the need of a few hints
In tho matter of training a wife.
Don't hesitate to take advantage
of this, gentlemen. All communi
cations considered strictly con
fidential. Incidentally, the recent
research of our experts has un
covered some excellent new ad
vice on the training of red-haired
wives.
Baby Shoes
In 1004 when Jimmy Brltt
was In his heyday as a light
weight boxer, the British cham
pion, Jabez White, was matched
to fight him in San Francisco.
White, a sentimental fellow,
brought the shoes of his baby
along for good luck. He tied
them to tho ropes In his cor
ner. For 19 rounds the battle
between Britt and White was
even and terrific. Eddie Graney,
the referee, had about decided
to call it a draw. During the
loth round somebody stole
White's baby shoes from his cor
ner. The British battler was wild.
Instead of resting between
rounds he ran around looking
for the shoes and loudly de
manding they be found. Going
out for the 20th round the gal
lant Britisher was still thinking
of the lost baby shoes and kept
looking around to see if they
had been found. In one of these
lapses Britt knocked him out.
My Informant intimates some
of Brltts followers stole the
baby shoes in order to discon
cert the British fighter. He adds:
"It was a dirty trick. We old
San Franciscans will always
have a soft spot In our hearts
for Jabez White, a great fighter,
a perfect gentleman and a lov
ing father."

Queries from clients. Q. My
husband loves dogs as much as
you do. Need I say more? Could
you name some books on dogs
that might Interest him? A.
"How To Breed Dogs" by Leon
F. Whlttney. "How to Train
Dogs" by H. R. East. "The
Sketch Book of Dogs" by Felice
Worden. "Nutrition of the Dog"
by dive McKay. "Gun Dogs
Afield' by Horace Lytle.
Objection
In a dispatch I note Carole
Landis referred to as "The bux
om screen star." To the use of
buxom in connection with Miss
Ijtndis I strongly object. Web
ster defines buxom as "plump
and comely." Carole is comely,
but not plump. At least she
wasn't the last time 1 saw her.
I hope she hasn't taken-on
weight. It always saddens me to
see plumpness creeping over an
erstwhile streamlined young
woman.
Over Forty
Women in their twenties pre
fer men in their forties as com
panions and husbands. That is
what is frequently claimed. In
connection with this it is inter
esting to note the following film
actors all 40 years of age or
older ' continue to ' be listed
among the major Hollywood
heart throbs: Humphrey Bogart,
Clark Gable, Charles Boyer,
Walter Pidgeon, Bob Hope, Bing
Crosby and Spencer Tracy.
"The smartest suits for men
this year will be the gray and
blue ones." So states an expert
on the subject of fashions for
men. If that claim is correct I
am right in style. I have Just
acquired an elegant gray flan
nel suit. I already have a couple
of blue ones. This same expert
claims white shirts are what the
well-dressed man should wear.
I can't go along with him on
that. I like light blue shirts.
Prediction
Women who know their pol
itics say there may be a woman
president of the United States
in 1964. Several stargazers have
predicted a woman president by
1932. I hope to live to see a
female president. I am anxious
to see how her husband, the first
gentleman, will conduct himself.

Washington. Nov. 30 What
Pat Hurley said was true. For
many months evidence has '. -an
leaKing irom
the state de
partment sug
gest i n g the
permanent un
der 1 y i n g
clique was un
sympa t h e t ic
with top pol
icy, and un
dermln i n g it
in subtle little
ways. Yet
there was
nothing suf
ficiently provable to warrant
printing.
The men within the depart
ment who have noticed the con
dition have been so frightened
they dared not speak, even
privately, outside of the depart
ment. Because of the stands they
have taken within the depart
ment they knew they were sus
pect to the reigning group, and
occasionally thought they were
being followed or their tele
phone conversions tapped.
Even business men dealing
there have noticed the condition,
compared notes about" it among
themselves, and wondered its
extent. But until the retiring
ambassador to China spoke out
with direct charges, the matter
never reoched the public eye.
a a a
CTATE Secretary Byrnes, my
informants say, does not
know the facts, nor did his pre
decessor, Mr. Stettlnius. Byrnes
promised a departmental reor
ganization and brought in a few
top men, but this was as far as
his reorganization went.
The clique was strengthened
under Stettinlus, who function
ed largely as a personal repre
sentative of the president, allow
ing the department to run it
self, and today more men are
being taken into the clique than
are leaving it. The various
bureaucratic holdovers of the
Roosevelt regime, losing their
war jobs in other departments,
have been seeking couches in
state.
It is a peculiar condition and
hos never been accurately de
fined, not even by Mr. Hurley
In his restricted charges. The
men of the clique do not hold
meetings and agree to under
mine this or that. They are
merely of one mind on some
basic Ideas.
a a a
POR one thing, they are un-
sympathetic with American
foreign policy today. For an
other, they agree in their dis
trust of anyone who would ques
tion Russia in the slightest upon
any subject. They are not com
munists but their minds are
guided by the communist
grooves of thought.
Objectionable things are to
them "fascistic." Hence Chiang
Kai-Shek is a fascist; Russia, a
democracy. But they branch off
from communist grooves to
others strangely enough.'
The. British have the best
diplomacy, they think; Hence,
Britain likewise ' can do no
wrong. They are known also as
"the striped trousers set," af
fecting the uniform of the
Downing street diplomats be
yond necessities.
To define what specific un
dermlnging they do is difficult.
a a a
HURLEY had two men in the
far eastern division in mind
in his charges.
These two he apparently
caught telling the Chinese to
pay no attention to him, and
spreading around at cocktail
parties the notion that the
American foreign policy was
temporary,, that it would not
back Chungking in postwar. Be
yond this, apparently, he had
no convincing evidence. His pur
pose in reversing himself
abruptly and deciding to quit
with a challenging public state
ment was to force a congres
sional investigation. A thorough
one no doubt would force a re
organization, which not even a
secretary of state has been able
to effect in his own department.
... j
BEFORE Byrnes and Stettin-
ius, Mr. Hull knew very
well what was going on. He '
could read in the papers daily
the planted news that leaked
from his department against
him. And he thought Sumner
Welles, his assistant, was doing
it. But Welles was only the tem
porary outlet for the clique
within. Not even Hull could do
much.
Mr. Byrnes has Indicated his
intention to smile away the mat-i
ter, and there is danger that 1
the democratic administration !
will treat it politically. Hurley i
is a republican, and his efforts ;
for a congresisonal inquiry may j
be shunted off as a political at
If the inquiry fails to develop, :
the Americanization of the state
department may await a future
generation. There is talk that
Byrnes will quietly start house-
cleaning to forestall an inquiry,
but he must necessarily use. a
whisk broom where DDT is call
ed for.
Unless something is done, Mr.
Byrnes will find it increasingly
difficult to effectuate his for
eign policy, which is sufficiently
popular with the county to have
passed beyond public or congres
sional criticism, except from
this one clique, and the news
papers and magazines of like
mind.
Incidentally, Gen. Marshall,
who was chosen by President
Truman in Hurley's place, kept
himself conspicuously above
this kind of political diplomacy
during the war. His aloof atti
tude was just what the Chinese
situation called for.
