Plainly Speaking

A. P. Herbert is not only first class writing man, but he has sense of humor and a willingness to get right down and slug in the practical field for things he believes ought to be done. This ought to be done. This British versifyer, member of Parliament, and crusader for political reforms, has never broken lance with a tougher enemy than the one he now challenges. He has taken on the common all too common-tendency to use 12 long words when two short ones would do much better.
 For instance, Herbert cites this: Eng land anticipates that as regards the cur rent emergency, personnel will face up to the issues and exercise approximately the functions allocated to their respective occupational groups" What does it mean? Nothing, except what Lord Nel- son said much more simply, and much better, in his famous battle message:
 England expects every man to do his duty"

Forty Thousand Bridges

Every once in a while the work accom- plished by the Civilian Conservation Camps is summed up Such periodic reports are an old story by now, and yet as time passes, the sheer figures grow more and more overwhelming. six years of work are now behind the 2,500,000 young men, war veterans, Indians, and territorials who have passed through the camps.
 And today, the United States has, among others, these things which it did not have before: 1,741, 1,000,000 trees, 1O4,OOO miles of truck trails or minor roads, 71,O00 miles of telephone lines, 10000 bridges, 4,700,000 check dams in gullies to reduce soil erosion, 5,390 large impounding or diversion dams.
 q am proud" reports Director Fech- ner of the CCC, "of the fine performance record of these young men," He should be proud, and so should every one of us. For the physical results of the work do not stand alone Many hundreds of thou sands of young men today are better men than they might otherwise have been. And that is the greatest accomplishment of all.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-09
What Are he Facts?

Ex-President Herbert Hoover has just demanded and received an apology from University of Chicago officials for re- marks made about him during recent broadcast sponsored by the university. The remarks were made by Drew Pear son. collaborator with Robert Allen in the well-known newspaper feature, wash ington Merry-Go-Round," daily feat ure of the Waterbury Democrat. MT. Pearson is credited with saying that MT. Hoover was "buying" southern delegates votes for the 194O COP convention.
 MT. Hoover was quick to resent the charge and immediately contacted the university which straiglltway said pub licly: "We believe the statement was untrue and should never have been made" Of the Pearson utterance MT. Hoover said it was mot only vicious personal islander and libel in which there is not the remotest possible truth, but It is an insult to the thousands of decent men and women of the South. :" All of which no one will deny least of all Mr. Pearson.
 But the forthr1ght CaplCal purVeyer ol news behind the news is not drawing ln his horns He claims that he did not libel MT. Hoover and that his radio remark could not possibly be construed as mean ing that MT. Hoover personally tried to buy delegates votes for the 194O conven- ton. But he does say, still, that votes are being rounded up in southern states by political friends of Mr. Hoover lin the manner that politicians usually round up Negro and poor white Republican in the Solid South. ."
 He then refers to the work done by the late and somewhat notorious c. Bascom slemp and Perry Howard prior to the 1928 national convention when MT. Hoover was nominated. It might be that the 'Merry-G Go- Round" boys, Pearson and Allen, had information on doings in MT. Hoover's behalf of which he is entirely ignorant, but indirectly responsible.
