Killing a husband Is no way to win him back. a o More protection of autolsts at railroad crossings Is urged by the Safety Council. With a bell clanging, and the whistle toot ing, there seems nothing left to do, but paint the locomotive red. a o SNAPPY SIZE-UP (Cheyenne, Wyo., Eagle) "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was presented In a one-night stand at the Lincoln theater last night. Fortunately for all con cerned, It was a one-night stand." a Upstate Democrats are still running a high fever, trying to nominate a candidate to fill a Congressional vacancy. They at tempted to hold an "assembly" at Salem Saturday. A Portland legislator sang, 'The More We Get Together the Happier We Will Be," after which they were still short 150 delegates, to have a sufficient number to make the proceedings legal. The national anthem, and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," were also execut ed without favorable results. In asmuch aa the magic of song, and the memory of now defunct New Deal notions flrzled, there Is nothing to do, but have the former Boy-Mayor of K. Falls fly out from Washington, D. C, with a message to whisper from Secy. Ickes. "Making peace Is a prosnlc task after the excitement of the last six years, but it must be attacked in earnest sooner or later unless there Is to be new excitement." (Da v e n p o r t. Wash., Democrat) Sounds logi cal. a Allied Jurists are now bending backwards trying to be pain fully fair to Nail and Jap war criminals. The accused when In power, went through no "hu man frog" contortions to be Just, legal, and honorable. The Chinese population of this burg has been Inflnted three fold.

IB, 1945 Editorial Correspondence Boston, Mass., Dec. 14 Haven't found out why, but there are more $2 paper bills in Boston than anywhere else. a a a a a The weather continues "invigorating." Yesterday the tner cury went down to zero and liked it so well It never got over 15 above. The ponds In the Commons and Fenway are frozen solid, the ducks have disappeared and In the former the City Hall Is borrowing money to put up a large illuminated Christmas treel "Si-e-lent nightl" In the summer the subway Is cool and m the winter it Is warm at least much warmer than the temperature outdoors. Down there one also escapes the N.E. wind. The people here don't like the 10-cent fare, in the N. Y. subway It is still a nickel, but we don't know where one can get more for his dime than riding in the subway, In this freezing weather. a a a , e a If one shops around a bit Delicious apples from Washington can be found (it requires some foot work) three for a quarter. Considering the eastern apple competition that is cheap. The eastern Baldwins being sold here now wouldn't rate as culls on the coast, misshapen, bruised, discolored, a terrible mess. At this rate the time may come when pulling out apple trees may not appear as smart as It once did in the R. R. valley. e e a e e At the same market where we found the ."Delicious" there were marvelous Indian River grapefruit from Florida, and beauti ful, they ARE beautiful, deep sea lobsters from Maine. One of the latter (boiled) a bright red could be purchased for 75 cents, In any good restaurant in N. Y, the same would bring between two and three dollars, no extra cost except transportation and a dash of mayonnaise. We have always had a very high regard for General Mar shall, and still have, but to date his testimony before the Pearl Harbor committee to us has been extremely disappointing. He has almost entirely lacked the forthrightness and bigness of spirit that we expected, though we grant there is still time for him to exhibit same. There is only one kind of fish outside of brook trout we really relish that Is sword-fish. Which Is not a matter of any great moment, except perhaps to the sword-fish in the Pacific ocean, If any. For if there are "sich," we Intend on our return to shoot a few on our next trip to Bandon. m Called on some old friends living on Commonwealth avenue near the old "Vic" who deplored slums . (Looked like pretty fancy slums to us, particularly be fore a brisk log-fire in the spacious living room.) But no doubt that Is true In a sense, and the motor car Is chiefly responsible. Why live cooped up in a solid block of brick and stone when one can live In the country, amid trees and flowers and clean fresh air, coming to the city only on business? The young married people who used to start housekeeping doubt, in places like Brookllne, Concord, Milton, Dedham and what have you. And the young married people of today set the pace for tomorrow. Speaking of clean, fresh air, Boston doesn't LOOK dirty, but It must be. It is possible to wear a white shirt more than one day, but NOT a clean one. (Which makes the prompt service of Boston laundries more mysterious than ever). a a a We have never seen traffic cops such as Boston boasts any where else in the U.S.A. They are almost all large red-faced Irish men, they blow their whistles and swing their arms, not when they wish the cars to stop but when they wish them to go ahead. They are dressed up like large, Inflated editions of toy-soldiers, huge, white belts around their ample waists, double Sam Browne belts criss-crossed over their protruding chests, also chnlk-whlte, and over-size white gloves. (At least this is the get-up at sundown.) Like traffic cops in Singapore they don't stand at the street Inter sections, but occupy little wooden pulpits, placed In the pave ment's geographical center, we wouldn't care to be driving a Jalopy that ran Into one of them!

At last reports veterans were recnlisting in the army at the rate of over 2,000 a day. For many young fellows this looks like a smart move. Take a first sergeant. He will get $130 a month starting base pay, plus food, lodging, clothing and med ical care. How much a week do you figure that Is worth consid ering the high cost of living? Around $50 a week I would say. Not bad. Besides, If a fellow has been In the army six months he only has to enlist for one year. In that year he could learn a trade and be In line to earn the high wages of a skilled worker when reconversion has really started. Fur Coat Record Dispatch says a thief entered Theatrical Producer Mike Todd's apartment and stole among other things "11 of Mrs. Todd's fur coats." I suppose that was all the fur coats the crook could carry. Wonder how many Mrs. Todd has in all? Shows how fur wrong I was. I thought Jean Dalrymple, who has six mink coats, held the Broadway record for fur coat ownership. Mules It Men "Recently married for the sec ond time. My first marriage lasted 20 years so I learned plen ty about men." So writes a Chi ragoan. The lady does not detail what she learned about men in 20 years of marriage. That could be Interesting. Still how much con a woman learn about men In Rcneral by being mar ried to one man 20 years? Wom en married a long time usually know a lot about their husband but not much about men in gen eral. What a woman learned In 20 years with ono man might not be of much assistance in hand ling a second husband. Every man needs Individual study. What might please one man will drive another wild. Our Mules & Men department experts will comment on this angle from time to time In the interests of any of our subscribers who may the fact they now live in the in the Back Bay now do so, no MM, , contemplate taking a second husband. Says He "Regarding keeping military titles in civilian life, the more Intelligent ex-army officers will certainly not do it," writes a Pittsburgcr. "However, many officers will do so for political or business reasons or Just stu pid vanity. I am an ex-GI and on the basis of personal knowl edge know that over half the Gl's regard the average army officer as a type of louse." Passing By Lou Nova. The genteel heavy weight boxer. Lou is the son of a concert pianist. He is married to the daughter of a college pro fessor. If he had a stronger chin he might have been the cham pion of the world. . . . Leland Hayward. Stage producer. Also a play broker, actors' agent, film producer and the husband of Margoret Sullavan. Mr. Hay ward's new production "Portrait in Black" is described as "a psychological melodrama." The Hollywoodlans and Broadway ltcs are going for that "psycho logical" angle In a large way. What started it "Angel Street" or "Lady In the Dark"? Asking Query from client: Q. Why do you Ignore Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) women? How about us? Speak frankly, Eddie, we can take It. A. Scorpio females are usually "it" or "oomph" types. They have plenty of what it takes to make the boys whistle, lledy Lamarr is Scorpio born. The Scorpians are depressed and moody when not In love. Also temperamental, Inclined to Jeal ousy and hot tempered. When aroused they throw things and slap faces. When mildly Irritat ed they pout and sulk. They are loyal and when really in love can be handled all right by a man of strong character provid ed he has unlimited patience. That's what the storgazers say about Scorpios. This, of course, is not necessarily the opinion of our Horses & Women experts. Briefly The name of a UCLA coed is "Be Hio Mac Walling." Don't know how Miss Waiting's Mama and Papa gave her that name but would like to. . , Ed Os wald, Palo Alto, Calif., says he has been commuting to San Francisco, a 70-mile round trip, six days a week for 41 years. Asides ' When Grandma was a Whis- Ue Girl and Grandpa was a Wolf." That's the title of a song Wilma Thone says she is writ ing. . . . Baltimorean states 88 per cent of residents of his city were born in this country and adds: "A stogie says you can't name a city with a higher per centage of American born resi dents." How about Dallas, Texas? Loving Wife Am asked what I think of a wife who has dutifully cut her husband's hair every week for 25 years. She must be quite a loving wife. But, of course, I couldn't decide If her husband is a lucky man until I saw a snapshot of one of the haircuts his obliging spouse gave him. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Dec. 18 The written promises of the peace are unfulfilled. The yearnings of the people for a world u n 1 f 1 ed in a d e m o c r atic and freedom loving organi zation to keep the peace in our time have been put into treaties and i m p lemented with machin eaui Mainin ery, we nave t h e Atlantic charter, Casablanca, Quebec, Yalta, Potsdam agreements and a United Nations organization. But we do not have peace. The words are not being activat ed. The machinery is not work ing. Revolutions are continuing the killing around the world. There is free talk of a third world war for the future, a a a IT takes two to make peace; nnlv nn tn mnlrja mar Tkn private word of friends of State Secretary Byrnes' is that he went to Moscow for a final effort to get Russia to cooperate with the United Nations ideal. Unless Molotov appears at the first UNO assembly meeting in London January 7 and works co-operatively there the world will know Moscow has rejected our way for the postwar world. A crisis which will bring In evitable future events of grave world consequence has reached Its underlying apex behind this trip. Now how did we get this way? If we are to extricate our selves and the world from its dilemma, we must clear our eyes and look objectively and realistically at the facts.' You can start with ' the pas sionate desire of this nation for an end of the killing. Mothers arc outraged that their' sons are not home from the foreign war for this Christmas. We pretended to think all we had to do was to win this war, stamp out fascist aggression and there would be peace. Our war p r o p a g a nda was exclusively framed that way. It was good war propaganda, but it was not realistic. We really knew what these other nations represented, their ideals and ambitions; but we pretended we did not; we pre tended victory in the field would bring victory for our earned hopes for the peace. We want to blame someone because our hopes have not been fulfilled. Popular public pressure is thus working against the tedious task of harmonizing what we all rec ognized before the war as hope less conflicts. a a WE got this way, furthermore, because of the manner In which we got Into the war. . It was a rather unrealistic basis. Mr. Roosevelt's working theory quite plainly clung to the belief that the people had to be led up drawn reluctantly to what was their war duty. The basic fact of the matter was that Hitler and Japan In tended to conquer the world. We were in the world. We could not escape war. Instead of teaching our people these basic fundamentals, . we went into a propaganda about world freedoms, Individual lib erty for all people, fair irade. free skies things which never existed before and about which our allies had their'own ideas. a a a MOW let us look at this thing plainly and honestly. There has been no evidence in events that Britain and Russia truly wanted the same thing out of this war that we did. Always Mr. Roscvelt had to go to them, make concessions, then come out with agreed words which bore the nature of something not entirely whole hearted, if voluntary. Churchill wished to get us In to the war, but the Atlantic charter was not greatly imple mented by him at home (India, Burma, Egypt, etc.). For her part, Russia clearly never thought of England, the Baltic nations. Poland, the Bal kans In the light of the Atlantic charter. Britain was Imperialist In her way; Russia even more imperi alistic in hers. The conquest of Berlin was delayed from the Mi east until the Balkans were oc cupied by Russia. a a a MOW as to Russia's part in the war. Our people'are still un der the spell of our propaganda on this also. Russia never ex cused the war to her own people on any other ground than that she was invaded by the fascist hordes and this was the time to kill fascism. They won because of no superior military arrange ment, but for two reasons only: (a) Hitler's colossal blunder of casting his limited manpower into a vast area, the space of which had always been its safe guard from conquest through out history, ana (D) rlussia s un limited manpower; when five were killed, ten took their place. Russian planes, weapons or politics were in no way supe rior, or even equal, iney carea nothing for us. or our charters; they were anti-capitalist, anti democratic, and would have won on their own, without our assistance, although at the cost of more millions of men. That is how we got this way Stripped of pretense, these are the elements of our predica ment, and the world s. From these considerations must future events spring. Livestock Portland. Ore..
