It has been conducive to more and more deliberate ly reckless driving." e e e The housing shortage reminds the older natives of happier days, when any time a man drove down the Main Stem with a 2x4 lashed to the fenders, there were wild rumors of a building boom. e e Whipping of two boys at the State Industrial schools has caus ed some uneasiness throughout the state. It seems to have been administered In the basement, with a leather strap, on the hands and feet. Instead of In the woodshed, with a hair-brush, where it would have done the most good, e SPIRITUAL AWAKENING The other day Senator Wher ry of Nebraska chided Senator Connally of Texas for using the word "damn" In some remarks addressed to his colleagues. The word, said the gentleman from Nebraska. "Is beneath the dig nity of the senate." Senator Connally explained that he was quoting someone else when he used the horrid word. Nevertheless he seems to have been about as contrite as a senator ever gets on his home grounds. He withdrew the four letter embellishment from his discourse.

Die. 14. 1945 Editorial Correspondence Boston, Mass., Dec. 10 "If I regarded General Elsenhower merely as a professional soldier I would not now be suggesting him for the presidency. I regard him, however, as a statesman executive of the highest type, with a military background and with an acquaintance first-hand with the intricacies of world poli tics." This, from the venerable Senator Capper of Kansas, In a nation-wide broadcast. We agree with everything In the statement except the pro posal that General Elsenhower be the presidential nominee of the Republican party. General Eisenhower would make a good president, as has been stated before in this department, VERY good. But as the G.O.P. nominee he would never be elected; the popular feeling against a professional soldier any professional soldier in the White House, would defeat him before he could get a start. This goes for Generals MacArthur, Doolittle, Arnold and all the other U. S. generals suggested by the Old Guard, to carry them to victory In 1048, at least in our opinion. Ex-Governor Stassen is the best bet for a Republican victory at the present writing and we have an idea he will remain so up to the time of the convention. e e o . Have to give the devil his due. A couple of beautiful days, after a dozen terrible ones, bright, sunny, cool but not cold. At least that Is the report of those who have been out. Thanks to the "dirty dozen" Ye Editor was ordered to stay on the Inside looking out, which Is quite In character with the general run of luck on this unpremeditated lengthy absence from the valley. e e e e e Governor Tobin has returned from London but the rest of the Bostonian delegates are working overtime to get UNO permanent headquarters on the banks of the Charles. The latest argument, as reported In the morning paper, Is that if Europe should be selected in preference to the U. S. A., the American people would be offended, suspicious and inclined to return to the isolationism of the early '20's. Oh, come gentlemen, that is putting it a bit strongl If American devotion to a world league-of-peace is so tenuous that the selection of any site outside of the U. S. A. would impair It, Ihfn the effort is doomed to failure anyway. We can't believe the situation is as bad, or half as bad, as that. According to local comment, this effort to get UNO head quarters here Is only part of a formal detailed drive originally from the Boston Chamber of Commerce, looking toward making Boston the premier convention city of the Atlantic seaboard some declare of the entire country. If this plan should go through we wonder where all the dele gates would sleep? Certainly not in the hotels at present af forded. Here, as in New York and apparently every other laree city in the country, the hotels can't take care of the demand now, and yet they are said to be 100 per cent behind Ihis effort. It doesn't make sense, unless the present hotel boom is regarded as short-lived and the need of drumming up hotel trade at a later period, a strong probability. It is nearly two weeks since Rose Carlau of nearby Chelsea, was kidnaped, and fears are grow ing It will never be recovered alive. An unusually strange case. The parents are poor, the father a young sailor in the South Pacific, the baby was stolen from Its cab when left but a few moments by ine moiner ana in a place wnere It had never been left before, so the kidnaping could hardly have been premeditated. For a week there were no demands for ransom, now such demands are drib bling In via poy-station phone, but they all appear to be faked Dy those moronic cranks who usually spring up In the wake of un usual and unsolved crimes.

Pope. (In agreement with the above was Aristotle who said: "The age of 1R is the best time for women to marry, and the age of 37 or a little less, for men.") The trend Is for long-legged girls. The demand for lengthy ladies as models , and movie ac tresses which has been great is now reported terrific. Not only that, the long-legged lasses ap pear to be on the preferred list for matrimonial companions. At first, it was thought this latter situation was due to the num ber of tall young men having in creased greatly. But it was learned . that many short men have a yearning for the tall and long legged females too. That's why the sale of height building shoes for men has increased. In Hollywood, where formerly the limbs of candidates for stardom were only looked at, now they are also measured. If a young woman's legs measure less than 33 Inches her chances for a film Job are slim. The Hollywoodians prefer girls whose underpin nings are as long as those of Lauren Bacnll and Alexis Smith which measure 37 inches. Briefly That haunting tune the "St. Louis Blues" has supported Its composer, W. C. Handy, for 31 years. It still nets around $23, 000 annually In royalties. , , .

Film star of yesteryear. She Is given to the wearing of very high hats. Don't know the technical name of this type of chnpeau but it looks like a ..arrow, oversized stovepipe hat to me. Janet is said to wear these hats in an effort to make herself appear toller. They don't. Anyway, why should any cute little trick try to moke her self look taller.

This wom an says she noticed that Peggy always gives her mole escort her undivided attention.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon' Washington, Dec. 14 Sec retary of State Byrnes goes to Moscow he says the Iranian gove r n m e n t will make the trek also. So both Moham med and the mountain go to Moscow. The senate, as are all knowing indi viduals here, is worried. Real izing this, be ram aiaiino fore his de parture, the state secretary took both the senators and the press into his confidence In off - the - record meetings. The attitude of the worried senators and individuals is this: We have not established much, except our position in China; we have lost In Iran; the Rus sians are in the process of con quering that country. e e e OUT at least we have not lost " abjectly. We have won and lost, by defending our position the Roosevelt Atlantic charter against make-believe freedom for peoples and world-democ racy. We ceased our losing because we had an adamant attitude for what we believed was right. Does Mr. Byrnes' trip to Moscow mean we have abandoned that attitude? Frankly, the senators think it may. They think generally appeasement of Britain (with money) is to be followed by ap peasement of Russia (with atom bombs, concessions, eye-blink ing regarding Iran, China, and similar pretensions that con quest of Europe and Asia by Russia is unthinkable). Their understanding is re inforced by two facts, which I think have been unpublished, certainly have not been men tioned prominently: (A) Mr. Byrnes dropped his adviser, Jimmy Dunn, for the Moscow trip (Dunn had been charged by Moscow enthusiasts as being fascist, Catholic and otherwise unsympathetic with Moscow causes) and Mr. Byrnes is taking in Dunn's place Free man Mathews, a butterfly dip lomat, who was skipped around the world in his assignments yet never got the reputation of being against Russian Interests. Mr. Byrnes Is also taking John Carter Vincent, head of the far eastern division, which Pat Hurley said was sabotaging American foreign policy (the democrats sure stopped Hurley, didn't they, Senator Connolly?). In answer and apology to this line of thought, Mr. Byrnes' people explain a crisis of the United Nations organization is now at hand, due to Russian lock of co-operation. If UNO Is to be saved, Mr. Byrnes must save it at Moscow, they say. e e a I JNLESS Molotov shows up at the January 7 meeting of the assembly In London. It will mean Russia has turned thumbs down on the Roosevelt formula for world peace. The meeting has been adver tised as a routine assemblage of the foreign ministers, as promised bv Stalin to Roose velt and Churchill at Yalta. My Inside information Is that Mr. Byrnes went to his office on a recent Sunday and began reading the Yalta agreements. They say he found the agree ments calling for meetings of the foreign ministers every three months. (They also called for independence of Iian). These meetings had not been held. The publicity men may claim thot the San Francisco confer ence came In April (against Yolta's January) and Potsdam come In July, and London in September but these were not meetings of the foreign min isters as prescribed. The only one which was what was pre scribed was the London gather ing In September, and It broke up In complete failure, due to Russian opposition. Mr. Byrnes thought, my de partmental Informants tell me: How about another foreign minister meeting? He got Rus sian consent first (he needed it after the straight Moscow re buff of his Iranian note re questing early Russian with drawal of troops from Iran) and in spite of the fact that Mr. Truman had. Just the day be fore, announced he expected no meetings of the Big Three, but thought the UNO could take core of everything. In the face of the president. Mr. Byrnes asserted the White House had confused the dis tinction between colossal Big Threes (Truman, Attlee and Stalin) and ordinary Big Threes (Molotov. Bevin and Byrnes). The latter meeting, he thought JAMES K. HOEY Registered Engineer Pians and Spectftcationa Mechanical Structural Heetlna and Atr Conditioning Design of Building, and Residence. Ph 4078 48 Quince St. wapjepwH jj www, rlA " 8' highly desirable and arranged it. ... WHAT the senators think is that the Roosevelt people in this country (Mrs. Roosevelt's promotionists, C. I. O., the auto workers, etc.) raised such a publicity opposing Byrnes, even causing communist pickets to demand his ousting in front of his state department one day, that he became frightened of the domestic political conse quences of his non-losing policy and decided to embark upon appeasement which is what the Roosevelt radicals want. For the present only, they will keep quiet in hopes that the agreements at Moscow will be fair and valid.
