Lot MALCOLM EPLZT Mmfim0 Bitter 1 - .11 Traveling Through : Br MALCOLM EPLEY a. IEW YORK, N. Y, (Special Correspondence) IN The war hai dimmed out Broadway'! famed briht light, but not its gay spirit. Unbeliev able thousands sun jam u streets nightly in the half light. Pleasure-seekers fill its hundreds of night clubs, bars. a CY'l ? cocktail lounges and eating it l J places, swank and otherwise. ? The season's leading plays ftv niiaB Private Tt cars are absent from the streets, but fleets of taxicabs mingle with the pedestrians at the Intersections amid great EPLEY honking and shouting. (Get on the sidewalk. Fanner Jones!" a cabbie yelled at us when we had an irresolute moment Just off the curb.) The whole thing gives the visitor a kaleldos-' coplc impression of carnival gayety with hun dreds of thousands participating every night. The crowds, perhaps, are greatest when the hows end around 11 o'clock, but midnight means nothing here and it all goes on far into the morning. The number of eating spots and drinking places, upstairs, on the level, and downstairs, must run into startling statistics. And from what we have seen, they are all doing a rip roaring business. There Is nothing else like it. We would like to see it when the lights are on. a a a Seeing the Shows A E have had time for four shows "Rosa W llnda," a jolly operetta with music by Jobann Strauss (a sign on the door reads. Late comers will please waltz in gently); "Junior Mist," a wholesome comedy your 12-year-old daughter could safely see; "The Skin of Our Teeth," Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer prize-winner, and the rowdy "Star and Garter" with Gypsy Hose Lee. That's not many, but it pretty well coven the general classifications. We won't discuss the plays, because we do not rate -with dramatic critics, but we list them to indi cate what visitor can see in four shows. The current success is "Oklahoma," the The atre Guild's new musical play; in fact, it is so successful we can't see It. They're selling tickets already for Labor Day. An entertainment highlight of our visit was Billie Rose's show at the elaborate "Diamond Horseshoe" under the Paramount hotel. . . None of this, folks, was sinful not even Gypsy Rose Lee. You don't find surface sin in this part of New York. The entertainment here steers carefully away from the sordid, a a a New York Table Service THEY'VE stuck eating places into all kinds of I , locations here upstairs cubby holes, base ments, sidewalks, roofs, and what have you. What eating we've done from roofs has been interesting because of the large volume of fine soot (black snow to you) we've eaten without ill effect. A chunk of butter gets black in five minutes. But its cooler up there, and the view, of course, is always good. Speaking of views and eating, we decided today we couldn't leave without a trip to the observatory on top of Radio City in Rockefeller center 70 stories. There's a tea room up there where you can get coffee and sandwiches. Also, there is a visitor's registration system, with the registration segregated as to states. We found the following names in the Oregon book: Ruth and Earl Brooks, Klamath Falls; Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Jimerson, Algoma; Ensign W. K. Wilson, Malin; Marge and Bob Zimmerman, Klamath Falls; Edgar H. Dent, Klamath Falls; Lieutenant Wilbur C. WaaiH Merrill. All of our fellow Klamathites had appended appropriate remarks. Taking the cake was the Brooks' notation, "Not as good as Molatore's." (That's publicity for you, Harry.) a a a a Can in Mothballs THE OPA has really put the private cars up on blocks in this region. The papers carry constant threats against any pleasure driving, and frequent reports of arrests and punishment of offenders. A gallon and a half a week the A card allotment wouldn't go far anyway in this city of long distances and constant starting and stopping. This puts the burden of transporting New York's millions on the trains, trolleys and taxi cabs. We never knew there could be that many taxicabs. We've seen streets filled with cars every one of them a cab. Needless to say, there is a tremendous amount of pleasure use of gasoline by the taxicab route. Virtually all the cabs are of the sky-view type, with a window on the top affording a view of New York's skyscrapers as you ride. The windows, however, are usually dirty, and the View rather murky as a result. Sometimes the windows are opened, and one of our fun niest sights in New York was a group of tipsy sailors with their heads stuck out of the top of their cab. The taxi fare is 20 cents for the first one fourth mile, and 6 cents for each one-fourth mile thereafter. The number of passengers makes no difference in the fare. Cabs can be caught almost anywhere at any time, and a lot of people ride on what appears to be an in exhaustible gasoline supply, regardless of OPA. News Behind the News Br PAUL MALLOH N WASHINGTON, July 18 From a dearth, we seem about to hop Into an overabund ance of meat on butchers' hooks. The first arrivals of large quantities of beef cattle at Chicago and St Louis this weak heralds a period of heavy farm marketing of beef similar to that which has de veloped in hogs and for the same reason. When a steer, lamb, or hog becomes fat, there la only one place for him, the market. With winr Kt,.tn-V n th ""01' country today than ever be fore and feed at a premium, it is evident that before September 1, the market must be flood ed with all kinds of meat This super-abundance Is almost as bad as too little. It means that much of the cattle and hogs which ordinarily would be kept for the coming winter supply will be used now to the disadvantage of all concerned. Curing of the meat shortage in this way, therefore, will only quiet for a time the popularly recognized necessity of again reor ganizing the administration's food program. Since the caustic congress left town, Food Administrator Marvin Jones has put out an optimistic prophesy that he will expand all food acreage nearly one-third next year. This makes pleasant newspaper reading, especially over an empty plate, but only for persons with short memories. This same administration expected a large in crease in food production this year, insisting upon its optimistic figure before congress, as late as January. Now it concedes production will be less than last year. Any impressive hopes for expansion will await a definite program curing the causes of decreasing production farm labor fears, prices and disorderly marketing fears, and farm ma chinery fears. Behind all the forth and back publicity, the situation still obviously calls for a strong non-political, mathematical single head at the top here. One food director, empowered to direct production, marketing and price fixing, could, if able to handle figures and people, call in the farmers, packers and OPA price . experts and work out a definite, complete pro gram so that everyone involved would know precisely what is expected of him and what he is to do. Until this is done, no confident solution seems possible. The administration undoubted ly will get around to it eventually, but prob ably not until forced by the pressure of events yet to come. a FCC-Cox Fight THE FCC-Cox dispute has developed into a straight-out liberal-conservative fight, as does practically everything here sooner or later. In the political argument, the merit of facts on either side, as usual, has become lost Consistently, the news accounts carry, for instance, an inference suggesting Chairman Cox, of the house investigation committee, accepted a $2500 fee from a local radio station in his district for appearing before the FCC in its behalf. This would be a violation of federal law. If true, Mr. Cox should have been indicted and tried long ago, as the charge is nearly a year old. The congressman's-explanation (which is not very dear and is seldom published along side the charge) is that he took the amount in stock and turned it over to a charity, and that the payment waa not for legal services for a government department anyway. What is more important than either the charge or the explanation is that the justice department (completely controlled by liberals) never has made a move to indict Cox. The defending New Deal liberals seem content to reiterate it day after day, to muss up and embarrass the house investigation of FCC. The investigation seems to have a fairly good case against that frequently hot-headed agency, but the case is likely to be smothered by the embarrassing presence of Cox at the head of the investigating committee and by the cloak of war secrecy with which Mr. Roosevelt has protected tha commission files. a The Elusive Italian Fleet THE size of the Italian fleet, as detected by our spotters at the outset of the Sicilian invasion, was S battleships and 9 or 10 cruisers. This rather formidable fleet was unbalanced and deficient in destroyers and aircraft carriers, large numbers of which have been sunk. Our authorities were astonished, however, when most of it lay huddled at Spesia in the Italian boot, . only a few miles away from Sicily, during the initial stages of Our sea borne invasion. They knew it would have to come out sooner or later, or scuttle Itself, but ap parently, the Italian admirals were too afraid of our superior air power to move. Nothing could be a better harbinger of suc cess for our campaign. OH. NO. YOU DONTI BERKELEY, Calif., Sam C.

Masters Stuttering is a fairly common (about 1 per cent) defect in man, but is rarely so serious a condi tion that it cannot be cured. Sev eral theories and treatments have been devised for this af fliction, all of which are con sidered as successful. If one of them fails to cure the stutterer. another usually will. Probably because language is so complicated, it developed late in the process of human evolu tion. The functions of language are closely tied with manual skill, and the understanding of symbols, and these appear to have reached their present de gree of perfection because of the dominance of one side of the brain over the other. TYPES OF TREATMENT Our understanding of stutter ing began with the theory that the function of the muscles of chest throat tongue and lips was disturbed. The presence of spasm involving some of these muscles, at least was obvious. This theory led to several types of treatment. Breathing ex ercises were performed, drills were given in articulation, and further training was directed to ward teaching the stutterer to roaster the movements required in making the sounds which he found difficult. Difficult conson ants were avoided entirely. The approach to treatment from the point of view of faulty mechanics of speech is the most usual method of all, and has helped more stutterers than any other single method. But it is de batable whether the training or the associated psychological help is more responsible for the im provement. Later, another school of thought developed, and its ad herents thought that stammer ing was due not primarily to faulty mechanics, but to their control by the mind, which is in- Sailor Official Held as Enemy Alien SAN FRANCISCO.

"Baby" Aircraft Carrier Shepherds Atlantic Convoy WASHINGTON, July 16 (Pi ta a series of anti-submarine bat tles in the North Atlantic, the planes of a single baby aircraft carrier recently successfully at tacked ten German submarines, definitely destroying two and probably destroying eight oth ers, and delivered two convoys safely across the Atlantic to American forces poised for ac tions against Hitler's Europe.

About 25 per cent of men arc left-handed or ambidextrous, and if a child is trained awoy from his dominant hand, or even helped to use his right hand when he is slightly left-handed or ambidextrous, he may develop stuttering. This theory leads to treatment designed to correct trie early training and to support tho defect by tying it to the other language functions like reading, writing and speech drills. There is probably an element of each theory active in all cases of stuttering. The best treatment considers each possibility, and places its emphasis on the domi nant fault. makes more garbage, and more garbage means more rats.
