Buck Benny Enters Pony Express Stamp Fight;
Poses The Way Horseman Should Have Looked
Could Tell at a Glance
What Was Wrong,
- He Says
BY PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Hollywood-Jack Benny, a fine
figure of a westerner if there ever
was one, was lounging on the shady
side Of Paramount's $4,000 cook
shack, or cafe, when your CORE
Spondent innocently showed him a
newspaper containing a story about
the Pony Express stamp controversy
The rootin', t o o t / n Buck
("When you call me that, smile!")
Benny read the article, which was
by Fred Hartman, who draws the
Red Ryder adventure strip. Har-
mon is one of several western
artists and historians who have
pointed out inaccuracies in the
drawing of the Pony Express
messenger on the new 3-cent
stamp.
HORSE SAGS A BIT
BUT 1T WILL DO
"Hm-m-m", said Benny. Then,
with. mounting interest, "Wal I'll
be daw-gone!' Suddenly he
Strengthened with determination
and called sharply, Rochester, get
me horse!"
"Yassuh, senor." A sun-black-
ened vaquero in white silk fiesta
outfit came around the corner at
brisk crawl. This was Benny's
top hand, Jose, whom he calls
Rochester for short. Isl, 81, Mis-
tub Benny. Only All already got
you a horse. It's in the fourth
race at"
mo, I mean boss to ride.
There's gonta be trouble in Wash
ington. Maybe they'll have to
withdraw this issue of stamps, and
then Jim Farley will need an au-
thentic picture of a pony express
messenger. I'll pose for it! I'll
show 'em how those boys really
looked!"

We Can't Afford Isolation Now

Those eminent patriots who have been demanding
that the United States et the Allies fight their own
war" should be very happy today. With the collapse
OF French resistance it is apparent that the Allies have
Just about finished their" Only England, of all
the former democracies of Europe stands between
Hitler and complete conquest of that continent And
it is almost certainty that without further aid Great
Britain cannot long stand against Nazi might
Isoationists would have believe that the fall of
England too would make no difference to this country.
But it is hard to believe that Hitler will have more
regard for American democracy than he displayed for
the European variety. Especially since the Naz VIC
tories have been comparatively easy ones.
For the past two weeks Germany's press and radio
have been almost screaming that the Nazs have de-
sire to make grab at any part of this hemisphere.
Nearly every American has heard the Berlin prom
Use of America for the Americans" President Roose-
welt heard it and made brief, bitter comment. He
said the words brought up recolections And though
ne old not explain that remark everyone knew that he
was recalling similar German doubletalk dished up to
the Poles, the Danes, the Norwegans, the Dutch and
the Begans just before the Nazi machine rolled
over their countries.
but Hitler will never be able to get an army
across the Atlantic" a few optimists still insist.
Such predictions overlook three hard facts 1, that
Europe is much closer to portions of South America
than any OF our own naval and air bases 2, that if
Hitler lay hands the British fleet he will have
far stronger navy than ours navy quite capable of
conveying sizeabe expeditionary force to any un-
defended area from Hudson Bay to the Straits of Ma
gelan, and, g. that army of Naz Fascist and Com
munist fifth columnists already has invaded the Latin
Americas and is busily engaged in the kind Of
work done in Holland, Norway and all the other Hitler
victims before they smashed Of this latter fact
our State Department has been for months That
is why two heavy cruisers have been dispatched to
South American waters. That is why the President
wants the National Guard ready for immediate action
This is time for falling under the spell of Nazi
propaganda Like every other would-be conqueror,
Hitler seeks new victims and loot after every vic
tory Further, his war-geared economy cannot stand
competition in world that is half totaitarian and half
democratic This is the time to help the last demo-
cratic nation in Europe before left alone to de-
fend democracy and individual freedom. It's now or
never.
