New York City, N.Y., May 4 This is the largest citv In the
country and ine most exciting, it is also one of the dirtiest.
We don't mean the slums alone, although thev are unsDeak
ablv filthy, but the entire town. And the surroundina air is full
of dust and dirt, as one's shirt collar testifies after a few hours ex
posure. Not as bad as Los Angeles or Chicago, but far from what
it was au or iu years ago. men one couia wear a wnue snirt lor
three or four days and not appear too disruplable. Also one could
save in laundry bills quite an item when one's weekly stipend
varied from $15 to $30 a veek! No saving in laundry nowadays!
a
Yesterday we took a stroll up above 100th street in the Negro
and Filipino sections. Why doesn't "Life" magazine take some
snots of that part of town and issue a special "clean-up" feature.
Filth is the word for it, filth vegetable and animal if there
were any minerals in that section except tin-cans they too would
be contaminated.
"Dead End" kids playing baseball in the streets, with trucks,
wagons and push-carts on the prowl. Why there are not more
people, young and old, killed in the streets of this man's town, is
a major miracle. Ninety-nine per cent of them pay no more atten
tion to to red lights or the traffic rules tiian they do to the sanitary
code.
a
It'g a mess. And the more one sees of this Bibulous Babylon
the more one is impressed, and depressed by it. .
Who is to blame for such a condition? The street department?
The city sanitary force? Mayor O'Dwyer?
They all pass the buck to ine city treasury and lack of lunds.
We can't believe cleaning up the streets would be so expensive.
If Mayor O'Dwyer had directed his treasury department to devote
those post-campaign salary boosts to a street-cleaning crusade, in
stead of lining the pockets of himself and pals so they could spend
the winter sunning themselves in Florida, we venture to say the
job or a major portion of it could have been accomplished.
For once we agree with the local communists. In their May
Day parade, only about half as lurge as last year's one of the
floats pictured the "Glamour Boy" mayor sunning himself on the
beach at Miami, while the town he was supposed to be running was
stewing in its own juice, iney nad sometning there.
This narade by the way was reminiscent of the old days at
Foley Square when we attended the trial of the 11 communists.
ror in the receiving stand at Union bquaic were the 11, the lour
flushing Dennis giving the Moscow salute (reminding one some
what of the late and lamented Alan Halcj and all the boys in great
fettle.
It was a bit incongruous, thousands of men, women and chil
dren in that Red march through the down-town section of the
city, and although the Hearst papers reported egg-throwing we
saw none. Some of the Broadway "kids" gave the marchers the
"bird" but all in all the marchers and the watchers were orderly,
and undemonstrative.
And of course these communists had a perfect right to march,
and they have a right to join the party, and run for office, at
least until the Mundl Kerguson bill passes, a measure, which by
the way, the leader of the republican party, lorn Dewey, vigor
ously opposes. And yet suggest that a college professor once inter
viewed a leader of that same organization and he is pilloried as a
spy, and the head of an espionage cell! "Who s looney now?"
No doubt Soviet Russia is the No. 1 danger to this country. But
second on the list we would put political partisanship, the placing
of temporary party advantage above the national welfare.
According to the United States Health Service in Washington,
D.C., the hospitals of the country are so overcrowded because they
are half-filled with mental eases. What would happen if all the
"nuts" in the national capital inside and outside the congress
were put where they belong? Then there would be no room at all
for those suffering from physical ailments!
Your correspondent has been greatly amused by the political
reactions following the defeat of Senator Pepper of Florida.
Something unique in history has happened, the victor. Con
gressman Smathers, has been (in effect), congratulated by the poli
tical heads of BOTH parties!
Chairman Gabriclson, the GOP factotum, for example, exults
over the triumph of liberty over socialism, rugged individualism
over regimentation, 100 per cent Americanism over communism,
etc., etc., etc., the "coup de grace" for the Fair Deal!
The chairman of the democratic national committee, somewhat
more restrained, congratulates the victor on his triumph and ex
presses confidence that his record of constructive and enlightened
statesmanship as a member of the house will even be surpassed by
the record he will inuke in the senate!
This is certainly something for the book.
Imagine the hosannas and paens of praise and rejoicing from
the democratic leadership if Pepper HAD won!
But, of course, as a member of the party had triumphed the
head of the democratic national committee could hardlv keep still.
mucn as ne prouaoiy would have liked to have done so.
In this particular instance the somewhat moth-eaten and battle-scarred
elephant has all the best of it.
For there is no ctenyinn the fact that this Dersonable voting
Smathers followed almost word by word the republican committee
line.
We don't know how fully his campaign was reported in Ore
gon, but there was a fairly detailed account here in New York
which added up to this:
Pepper was a pal of Henry Wallace.
He was a fellow-traveler and Russian appeaser.
He approved of the regimented state and opposed personal
liberty.
He advocated socialized medicine and the welfare stale.
Smathers was opposed to all this and. if elected, would
uphold the freedom-loving "American way."
Naturally this victory put young Mr. Shathers somewhat on
a spot, o when the Uabricl.son congratulations came in he pro
ceeded as a good democrat to repudiate tnem and declare with
a perfectly straight face. that he did not approve the republican
line and on his return to the upper house would be a loyal and
dependable supporter of the Truman administration!
Ho hum WHAT a farce!
This seems to be a season for disappointments, politically
speaking. There was John Foster Dulles and now another of our
former lavorites, ex-Governor Stassen. who is supposed to be
president of a great university Pennsylvania but devotes most
of his tune to politicking. Says Mr. Slassen:
"President Truman is the worst president and the best
politician in American history."
Imagine such an absurd statement from the leader of a great
educational Institution, what must his political and history pro
fessors think of him!
Does Stassen honestly believe Harry Truman has nuuTe a
worse president than Warren G. Harding or General Grant'.'
And how can he put Mr. Truman as a politician in the same
class with Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the latter a super genius
In that direction?
Again it only shows what partisanship ran do to a man Hu
man the undersigned favored for president above all other candi
dates only two years ago!

"Show them the one YOU caught. Dear!"
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
This changing-world note:
Down in San Anselmo they
have a city ordinance providing
that horses must be tethered at
least 20 feet away from dwell
ings. Two housewives have just
appeared before the council to
demand that this distance be in
creased. "Horses," they explain to the
city . fathers, .. 'are ..UNSANI
TARY. Their presence interferes
with the use of our patios."
I THE olden, golden days we
were acutely suspicious of
men who smeiled of cologne, but
respected and usually admired
those who smeiled faintly of the
stables
radicalism." It is proof, he says.
that "the people of Florida do
not wish to venture off the side
roads of extremism or social
ism."
THE ECHOES of Florida elec
tion at which young Smath
ers took Big Chief Pepper to the
cleaners are still rumbling up
and down the politii ' canyons.
The big medicine men of poli
tics are figuring out what it all
meant and, as usual, each fig
ures it according to his own PER
SONAL interest.
For example:
To Senator Taft, the SIGNIFI
CANT THING about the Florida
primary is "that the big labor
people went down there to de
feat Smathers because he was
for the Taft-Hartley law." He
adds: "The people of Florida
were FOR the Taft-Hartley law,
and 1 believe that indicates the
attitude in other states."
Jack Kroll. director of the
CIO political action committee
(which fought Smathers tooth
and nail) views the Florida re
sults as "the triumph of a sinis
ter conspiracy to impose upon
our country a cruel and reaction
ary program."
He adds:
"The tactics we have just seen
in Florida will be used in every
state, and this challenge will be
met."
SMATHERS himself, by the
way. calls the election "a vic
tory of liberalism as opposed to
VILL-M BOYLE, democratic
national chairman, plays the
cards close up against his vest.
He congratulates Smathers on
his victory, and wires Pepper
(who will be a voting member
of the senate until next Janu
ary): "We are still depending on
you for support in the demo
cratic party's battle against re
actionary republicanism.
yHAT about Pepper:
Well, he just issues a state
ment expressing appreciation to
his "noble, gallant army of sup
porters" for what they did for
him.
He would have appreciated it
more. I take it. if they had done
MORE for him. but anyway he
puts its gracefully.
ONE IS reminded somehow of
Plutarch's story about Aris
tides (called The Just) in his big
political battle with Thenfis
tocles. On election day, . Aris
tides was walking the streets of
Athens when he was accosted
by a strange citizen from out in
the sticks. The citizen couldn't
write, so he asked Aristides to
mark his ballot for him
AGAINST Aristides.
lie agreed, but wanted to
know why the citizen was go
ing to vote that way. "Has this
Aristides ever injured you?" he
asked.
"No." the ciiizen replied.
"Never have I set eyes on him.
But oh! I am SO bored by hear
ing him called Aristides the
Just."
THAT happened some 2.000
years ago. The underlying
principles of politics, including
why people vote the way they
do. don't vary much, you sec,
from century to century.
We flew into Manhattan last
night from Florida. A rugged
trip. Plane was two hours late
on a scheduled three hours and
forty-five minutes trip. Some of
the delay was experienced at
Washington, the only scheduled
stop on the trip. The plane had
to circle the Washington airport
for 45 minutes waitine for a
chance to land. Our dog was up
front in a box. I was really
worried about him. However, at
the Idlewild airport he came out
of the box with tail wagging. A
remarkable animal.
Unusual Weather
Didn't get my wish to escape
"unusual weather" on arrival in
New York. It was rainine and
chilly. I understand the rain
makers hired by Mayor O Dwver
had something to do with this
oarticular rain. In any event,
they took credit for it. The driver
of the car that took us in from
the airport was very bitter about
the way nature, possibly aided
oy the rainmakers, has been act
ing lately. He said his flower
earden has been ruined.
Sun Seeker
Rain is something I am grow
ing very weary of. If things don't
change I think I'll move out on
the desert at Las Vegas, Nev.,
near the Flamingo hotel. Only
trouble with living in those des
ert places is that while you get
sun in the daytime you have to do
a lot of sleeping in air condition
ed rooms. Anyway if a fellow
came in right now humming,
whistling or warbling that ditty
"Singing in the Rain" I would
throw my typewriter at him.
Please Note
The finest hair for wigs or
toupees is that of Italian girls.
This hair sells for the equivalent
of S100 a pound. It is used more
for male toupees than female
wigs. From this Italian hair are
made toupees which are practic
ally undetectable. Among the
world's best customers for tou
oees are film actors. The fact
that certain male film stars wear
toupees has been given much
Diiblicity. but there are also bald
headed Hollywoodians wearing
them who are not even suspected
of featuring false hair.
Sidelights
Ever hear of "Lovely Lucy"
Moore? Neither did I until the
other day. Lucy was a sideshow
entertainer of the yesterday. She
was a singer and dancer. She
weighed 669 pounds ... Do you
know who originated the sugar
cube? It was Henry Tate. British
sugar refiner, in 1876. Perhaps
this isn't important information.
Still, men who originated things
used by millions of people should
-let credit for their ingenuity.
There are a lot of people who
don't even know who originated
the idea of putting a rubber
eraser on lead pencils.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Is the
play "Macbeth" considered a
"hoodoo" for the cast and pro
ducer? That is, do some of the
'participants in a production of
"Macbeth" often suffer misfor
tune shortly after or during the
nlay's run? A. Never heard that
"Macbeth was considered a
"hoodoo" play. However. I have
heard that the opera "Tales of
Hoffman" is.
Clubs
Paris is a great place for quaint
clubs. A recently formed organi
zation there is called the Club
des Timides. It is a club for shy
people. It was formed by a taxi
driver named George Alliez, him
self a very shy fellow. George
found he was so shy that lie
wouldn't even kick when a pas
senger gave him a small tip.
That he considered a great han
dicap to a man in his business
so he organized the Club des
Timides as a means of curing
hinv'f and others of shyness. A
club like that would go over all
right in this country.
Horses & Women
Valcntina Cortesa. beautiful
and shapely European film star,
wore woolen stockings while in
England. "Maybe the style is not
good," said Valentina. 'but it's
cold outside and I want to keep
my legs warm." Smart girl.
Health first, style second. Wom
en who wear shoes too small so
as to keep in step with fashion
should keep that in mind. Tight
! shoes not only injure a woman's
health, but they make her irrit
able and unkind to her loving
husband.

Wrecked Bridges Now
Restored in Manila
Manila U.R) Jones Bridge, a
landmark of the battle between
i the Americans and Japanese for
j Manila, has been rebuilt, five
years after it was dynamited by
the retreating Nipponese.
American GI's will recall the
I handsome concrete bridge over
I the Pasie river at the northeast
corner of the old Spanish walled
citv, where the Japanese made
their last stand in Manilla.
Jones Bridge was one of the
four maior spans over the Pasig
blasted by the Japanese to delay
theA merican advance. The big
gest, Quezon bridge, also has
been reconstructed. The Santa
Cruz and Ayala bridges will be
rebuilt this year or early next.

Growth of the Soil
On Iwo-thirds of the land area
of the Pacific northwest the nat
ural growth of the soil is trees.
Only a few valleys are fit for
farming. The soil is not only
good for tree growing but the
climate, the native timber spe
cies and the general topography
combine to give us the nation's
greatest natural forest region.

forestry is in keeping the soil
productive under the log har
vest, getting new tree growth
started and controlling fire. On
nubhc lands or private lands, the
forester and the logger must
team up. if the basic iorest re
source the soil is to be kept
productive.
Forestry begins at the stump,
even as lumbering begins there.
Tree Farmers
It is in the growth of the soil
that the term "tree fanning" has
its real roots, its vital meaning.
The logger compares to the
wheat rancher in that both har
vest the growth of the soil. Each
harvest must leave the soil in
productive condition or eventu
ally the wheat ranch will be
come desert land and the forest
land will become barren.
The scientist whose business
it is to find ways and means to
keep agricultural soil productive
and to improve its crops is called
an agronomist. The foresters
business is the same, except that
rugged bodies and trained minds.
Forestry is anything but a
t moncv career, but to my mind
this is really a strong point in
its favor. What counts is that no
nrofession has more promise of
health, happiness, good human
association, and of constructive
work for mankind in it than the
nrofession of forestry contains.
There is none in this regian with
