And this was the open whiter that we "ere all predicting so Ireely. Seems to me that when I first came to this country a good many years ago someone told me that no one but newcomers and damn fools tried to predict trie weather in the Basin. From here on "out the word is mum. No mora even hopeful gan derlng at the weather. And no more believing the weather fore casts. Last Saturday's forecast was for lntermittant snow and rain with clearing periods on Sunday. It all resulted, in my little nest on Lakeshore at any rate, in an interrnitlant drift about a hundred feet long and two feet deep extend ing Up the driveway from the highway. There was also a be draggled, perspiring, cursing fig ure seen intermittantly shoveling this mixture off and shaking an Impotent fist at' the grey skies. By Monday the situation had reached the point where something had to be done. So the same forlorn figure, mine, was again out armed with a snow scoop and enough bitterness in his soul to last a year. - . Seemed like a year, too, before . the ice at the edge of the road ' was finally broached and victory was In sight. - Fooey on the weather . lore-ca-rs. i'ocey on the rainmakers who salt the clouds and cause this snow. Fooey! ' ' Guess we shouldn't complain too much, however. At least, we were better off than some. Our water supply' went on in an unbroken way. If the spring thaws come be fore I forget I must mush up to Frank McCornack's house and see by what miracle he, achieved this feat.' Everyone else was down to a waterless, as well as heatless, bouse. " s One prudent chap out our way. not on our system! wisely filled his bathtub with snow so lie could replenish the John and make sure of efficient operation. By Monday nooa the snow was still there' In the tub. The expected melting-pot having occurred. The 'farmers and ranchers .were worse off by far. No water for them. - ; The-loudest bowls always come' from the loss of luxuries.

Recently you wrote an ar ticle saying you -felt sorry for real tall people on account of they-were a nuisance to themselves and bad trouble fitting into a civilization built for ordinary-sized men. "Well, you just broke the heart of my little boy, Elbert. He bad always wanted to be a slant. Now he says If it's no fun to grow up to be giant, then he 11 grow back down and be a midget. He will. too.. , , stubborn little tyke . hasn't crown an inch all week. "This has my wife upset. She says, 'Isn't It bad enough to be married to a husband with a mind like a midget?' "What we both want to know Is: How can we make our Elbert want to be giant again? (signed) Indignant Father" I guess the bet thing to do is to give little Elbert the ether side of the picture. A number of readers have writ ten In to say there Is no pleasure In life like being tall enough to reach up and chin yourself on the nearest elm tree. It turns, out most human alps enjoy the air at their altitude, and wouldn't lose an Inch If they could. The positive advantages of being tali were best expressed by John Schmledeler of the Sallna (Kas.) Journal, who started knee - high to a telephone pole and recently was estimated by a local trigonom etry student to have paused at six-feet-six Inches.

Cooking over Uie tire- filuce was a slignt chore, but at east a change from the normal. A welcome break In many cases, But having to do without the sun lamp, the electric blanket and the automatic coffee maker were real hardships. Of course the worst thing about Uils weather is having to fight a car through it. That is a real and honest hardship. First you battle uie snow and the druis ana uie slush. Then you end up with a set of chains you have to have to get up the driveway and all the downtown pavement dry as a bone. So you clank and clatter and roar around town, and by nightfall your nerves looked like the end of a well-used broom. And slick out about as far. There must, of course, be a good side to all this. One, at least, is the fact that the streams are back to normal, the brownout is a thing of the past for those areas that had it. Tile snow that is pestering us here in the valley is piling up a thick blanket in the hills and mountains. A blcnket that will as sure us of a plentiful supply of irrigation water w-hen winter winds are forgotten and we are wonder ing if it will ever cool off again The reservoirs will be full and do shortage will be felt when we need it. Another good thing was a con' versation we had with Copco last (Monday) night. The power sud denly winked off. With a natural curiosity as to how long it ras scheduled to stay off, we called the Copco trouble shooters. Never have we received such kind and courteous treatment. The over worked man at the far end of the wire patiently explained that'- our. area nan been cut off due to an overload, that senlce would be restored at about six o'clock and that they were doing all they could to keep us going. And sure enough, .at six thirty or there abouts here came the- power. And it stayed until morning. Looks like it might be alright. Anyway, it was a pleasant moment to have such considerate treatment from an outfit that was busting its britches tn the efforts to repair the damage. It is all -too easy to blow' Up and lose your temper at times like that. And I'll bet that Copco. switchboard bad a million calls, more or less, every night during the trouble. -And If anybody thinks I'm re signed to this weather, they could n t be further from the truth. It's still fooey." "When I go to a parade, I see a parade, not the back of the neck of the man in front of me," wrote Schmledeler. "I can change a light bulb with out danger to limb from shaky ladders. "It's true that not all clothing stores welcome the sight of me stooping through the door frame. But there are those who do cater to the long man, and they are increasing In number. "I never had much trouble In (he Army. I warned the draft board the day I was inducted that clothing me was a .government project from now on." Schmledeler said his puny five-foot-plus buddies had no edge over him in taking cover in time of danger. He recalled that during one night air raid alarm he dug "a slit trench across two hills and a valley before Bed - check Charlie (the enemy pilot; got his engine warmed up." He also pointed out that an Army pack seemed lighter to a tall man because he had more back to carry It on, and he could set a walking pace hard for the little guy to keep up. "Imagine how much better off I am in a snow storm," Schmled eler continued. "I wade the drifts easily that the small man must avoid lor fear of suffocation. "It's true that I bumn mv head on a dour jamb occasionally, but i never gev eioowea in me mush on a crowded bus. "There have been some tall men who, inferiority complex or not, did mighty deeds. Remember Abe Lincoln? He wasn't a smal man. "You wouldn't call Gustav V jf Sweden a shrimp and he wa-. a g. On the distaff side there Is Eleanor Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON (.fl Like a tide regularly creeping up the beam of American labor, there has been recurring talk of AFL-CIO unity for more than a dozen years. It now seems to have rcr.ched a highwater mark. George Meany, AFL's new president, m very con ciliatory tones has suggested a merger. And the CIO s new presi dent. Walter Rcuther, Is going to discuss It with him. Meany's approach is different from the condescending ni:wii'..r 01 ihe AFL's late president. William Green. When Green suggested unltv. he told the CIO to ' return to the house of labor." Meanv and Reuther have both! said they would step aside if that : was' necessary. , I But it Is hard to believe this is an attitude shared by all of the leaders of rival AFL-CIO unions where a merger w-ould mean, for some, plnying second fiddle to an old antagonist. Most of the unions which make up the AFL and CIO are not in direct rivalry with one another. But some are. . . Mixed in with the problem of leadership and rivalry as a stum bling block to unit:' is the old question of jurisdiction: just what union has the tis'M to claim what kind of vorkers. For example: Reuther's own union, the CIO United Auto Workers, claiming 1 .430.000 members, has not, only organized workers In the giant auto industry but has organised many in the aircraft industry too. There it hrs run head on into AFL's machinists union t about 700.000 members), which has also claimed the aircraft workers as its province. To stop raiding each other's members, those two unions have worked out an agreement: Where one of them has already organized a plant, the other stays oui. sut wnere a new and unor ganized plant springs up, in both go to sign' up members. Clothing .Is a good example of an industry where two big unions might be able to live comfortably side by side In a merited AFLIO. Those two unions are the CIO's Amaleamated Clothing Workers and the AFL's International Ladies Garment Workers. So long as the garment union sticks to signing up workers who turn out women's wear and the amalgamated confines Itself to workers producing men's wear, they should be able to do all right. The AFL. which claims t2 mil lion. members, has 108 unions. The CIO, claiming between five and six million members, has S3 un ions. There is plenty of rivalry among those 142 unions. If it had been left to the rank-and-file members of both organi zations. AFL and CIO. there prob ably would have been a merger long ago. It's the men at the top who have to reach the agree ments.

Tne leaves of the Soviet olive branch have with ered, exposing a tangle of barbed wire underneath. Evidently the UN Is bent on pushing ahead to approval of some sort ef truce proposal, probably rooted in the Indian plan for re patriation of Communist prisoners, which was the issue on which the Panmunjom talks finally snagged. But the Soviet Union seems to have doomed this plan In ad Winston Irks Opposition LONDON ' A soft answer from Prime Minister Churchill turned the oposlllon to wrath or a parliamentary facsimile thereof last nigni. Laborit Member of Parliament Harold Davies protested that he was unable to hear Cturchlll's an swer to a question. The speaker suggested the 18-year-old Prime Minister repeat his reply. Churchill spoke even more softly. Herbert Morrison, deputy Labor Ite leader jumped up to ask If it were In order lor the Prime Min ister deliberately to use a voice that could not be heard. Amid smiles from the House, Uie speaker said he knew ot no precedent. When Davies asked another ques Hon. Churchill let loose with a voice that resembled a lion's roar. Labor ite John Rankin then complained that Churchill was defying the chair. The matter rested when the speaker said he could not say whether It was covered by the rules of order.

Foreign Minister VLshlnsky ac complished this feat, following a puzzling strategy and a mystifying timetable that could delight only Uie enemies of his government. For. In denouncing the Indian proposal tn the UN, he went far to heal a developing breach be tween the United States and Bri tain Uie very sort of rift the Kremlin is reportelly anx'ous lo foster. And he dealt a stiff blow at the neutralism which pervades many countries and dominates such governments s Nehru's in India. Through many harsh, disillusion ing events, the Indians snd many another Asiatic and European have clung, by some curious -blend of- emotion and blindness to fact, to the belief that Russia and China, or both, would be reasonable about Korea If given a chance tor .ao honorable settlement. Of course, the Reds hsd ample opportunity at Kaesong and Pan munjom to demonstrate their de sire for a fair peace, and rejected It. But that performance was not convincing to Ihe neutralists. Faced with the frustrating failures of Panmunjom, the neutralists and others In the UN Inevitably have sought s peace formula In a larger framework. The Indian plan, drawing sup port from Britain, Canada and certain other nations, quickly be came Uie focus of attention. No one could have been more cha grined at Russia's swift turn-down thsn Nehru. For the sake of the record, the free nations presumably will com plete their labors on a repatriation plan and offer It to China an4 North Korea. But they will just be going through motions. Yet the effort surrounding this plan my not have been wasted if. having brought the Russians to disclose their war-like colors. It dispels the log of neutralism that has clouded the minds of many men whose leadership Is needed to stiffen the line of liberty against marauding communism.
