)n a tactical analysis of the war that would have done credit to a var department expert. Among sther things, he expained why the Allies were smart to have aban- doned Norway. Have you ever been in that country?" he asked. Well, I have. It's impossible to fight any thing but guerilla warfare there. And what's it worth? Very, very little, from a tactical standpoint. " The fellow turned out to be a Frenchman who had been graduat- cd from the Sorbonne, now a naturalized American who fell afoul the depression. But he's more Washington cabby than French. He had a theory that even in their darkest hour, the Allies should take time out to slap the daylights out of Benito MusSolini.

 Another recounted the scanda- lous amours of certain Senator. Out of simple curiosity, I asked: Suppose it developed that I were a good friend or relative of the Senator?"
 The jehu just grinned, If you were, you'd know just how alarmed right I am"
 All of this conversation pours forth in spirit of pure friendli- ness. The Washington taXiman may have his indignations, his pet philosophies and his civic pride, but none is propounded with any belligerencc. You are just a pal who happens to be going his way.
 So, if you are coming to Wash ington, don't go home and tell your friends you have seen the nations capital unless you saw some of it behind a Washington taxi driver.
