It Is thenceforth good for nothing but to be east out, and to be trodden under foot of men.' Now, here Is what the Nine Professors have done with It: "You are the salt of the earth; but If salt has lost its taste, how can Its sallness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men'." Whereupon, he Inquires per Unently, "What is so smart about that?" You tell em. OiicloOlutsfElMi Pllllthifl'r4sj)lII French Communist Move May Smoke Out Frianco's Falange By Louis F. Kaamla United Press Staff Correspondent France, spurred on by her strong communist and left wing elements, has started a fire which eventually may smoke out the Falangist regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco in Spain. The French government was cautious in its first overt move, refusing to break off relations with Spain as demanded. Instead, It closed the French-Spanish border, tantamount to an economic boycott. President Felix Gouln's cabinet apparently hopes not to be left holding the bag, but to gain the support of Great Britain and the United States before it Is forced to take other steps. DANGERS TO INTERNATIONAL SECURITY SEEN The official French communique said new representations will be made to London and Washington, pointing out again "the dangers to international security Involved In the present situation In Spain." The Implication is that France will try to have the matter brought before the security council of the United Nations Organiza tion. The only "legal" and Justifiable way to force the Franco government out would be for the council to declare it in fact a menace to world peace, and authorize Joint action. - The United States, despite a previous appeal from France, does not favor breaking relations with Spain for fear of appearing to be trying to force a different government on the Spanish people by outside influence. BRITAIN AND U. S. AGAINST INTERNAL INTERFERENCE Britain has the same scruple against open interference In Spain's internal affairs. London, rupt trade relations with Spain, and is keeping an anxious eye on that country because of its location on the empire life line to the east. Russia, of course, would Franco. The Soviet Union has no and is not directly involved in the The French government reluctantly acted alone not so much because France is Spain's Immediate neighbor as because the com munists, socialists, trade union organizations and the left wing press have been exerting extreme pressure. The same kind of pressure is being applied elsewhere in the world and may Influence the course of Britain and the United Stntes, even though the leftists have not so much political power In those countries as in France. COMMUNISTS OF WORLD IN ANTI-FRANCO CRUSADE Communists all over the world have been called Into the anti Franco crusade. They have the support of the World Federation of Trade Unions, which Is not entirely communist, but is under communist, socialist and left wing leadership. Such strong organizations as the American CIO, tho Russian trades unions and the British trades unions council are back of it. The WFTU claims to represent 66,000,000 workers in more than SO countries, and has been seeking representation in the UNO as an unofficial world power. The WFTU has called on its affiliates in all countries to start a campaign in favor of breaking relations with Franco. The na tional secretariat of the communist party In the United States, rallying to the WFTU war cry, has Just issued a manifesto calling for mass action to Influence the American government. The state ment said: "Protest actions are on the order of the day. Mass meetings must bo held and telegrams must be sent to the White House by trade unions and other organizations of the people, as well as by Individuals." On The Side By e. v.

My husband says there was a song titled "When the Harvest Days Are Over, Nellie Dear." I say the girl's name wns Jessie. A. You are right. The ditty was titled "When the Harvest Days Are Over, Jessie Dear." About the snme time there were songs titled "Walt Til the Sun Shines.

Q. Well, gen tlemen, considorng fielding only Hal Chase Is first. Right? And I would put Jake Daubert sec ond. After that It Is hard to rate them. But I would put "Stuffy" In the first six. Q.

But I remember Mile. Dc Leon tossing her garters to the eager male customers. She was quite a character. Some Holly, woodlan should make a teclinl tolor film based on her career Please Note A new Yorker says It was not his rendition of "I'll Never Smile Again" that made Sinatra famous but the manner In which he sang "NlRht and Day." That might be true. Mnybe Frankle better start singing "Night and Day" again. Many Bobby Sock ers are deserting him and going over to Ring.

Sleap It was pointed out here that "Rabbit" Maranville, the fam ous major leaguer, always slept face down, flat on his stomach with arms f ut-stretched. And that Maranville believed this manner of sleeping had much to do with his attaining a physical condition which enabled him to have such a long major league career. Attracted by this Item a .nember of the staff of North western university decided to try Maranvlllc's system of slumber ing. He says: "I have found that way of sleeping much more rest ful.

What would seem logical sound and fair would be the substitution of an orderly, non social nonrevolutionary govern ment control program to cush-! ion, but not specifically control, i every item in the reconversion period. Congress can kill the project to limit business to pre war dollars and profits. This would eliminate the suicidal quality of the program. Simple general controls over prices and materials distribution could be continued during the short age period to prevent chaotic fluctuations in important lines. A price increase policy could be followed to encourage pro duction in certain needed lines. This alternative would, no doubt, cause some further infla tion, but Mr. Truman has only himself to blame. He called for his wage Increases at the wrong time economically. This time was logical politically. The unions wanted to keep their wartime earnings. But the right time economically would have been the coming moment when business starts to lag, when pur chasing power is threatened, and needs stimulation. He push ed the wage increases when in flation had already gone too far from sound values (witness the stock market and every other market), and when purchasing power was already too large for the amount of goods avail able.
