Wife, Renee.
 The De Marcos are by common consent of show business the great est ballroom dance team in the world. They met Il years ago when Tony was a Hollywood dance direc- tor and Renee one of his chorines and as team they have scaled the heights rarely, if ever, reached be- fore.
 They drew thousands of dollars a week in salaries, lived in a luxu- rious suite which had a mink cov- erlet on it's massive bed, they were the toast of the capitals all over the world and once they saved a distinguished hotel from financial trouble by attracting $23, 900 a week patronage to the hotel night club.
 No other team dares to ad-lib or eXtemporiZe dance. But some oi | the De Marcos nose celebrated routines have been the result of spur-of -the-moment gesture, such as when Tony, mopping his brow with a handkerchief. suddenly dust ed of the spot on which Renee was to kneel and then preceded her about the floor dusting of spot af- ter spot.
 Break Came in 1918
 Thus they went from triumph to glittering triumph but somewhere along the plush lined way love fad ed. Faded so that two and half years ago Renee sued for separa- tion and asked division of conl- munity property of more than $100,- GOO. This would have broken any other partnership but the De Mar cos realized If they were to exist as artists they would have to remain together-at least on the stage.
 That has been their life since 1888. They met for rehearsaS and for performances. Other than that they do not see each other. Renee professed to be happy with the ar rangement. She goes shopping, de- vises her own schedule, goes out with whom she wishes. But Tony, Tony is carrying the torch.
 A wiry man with black hair and black eyes, he freely admitted as much as he came backstage on the heels of thunder of applause, for the De Marcos are the stars of the Ed Wynn show Boys and Girls To- gether."
 Maybe" he murmured, watching Renee, T was too strict with her Maybe I held her down because thought she should function my way. my manners, my thought. She has such wealth of nobility but she is too kind. Maybe it was be- cause we met at low ebb-danct director and chorine-and now were on top.

KEITH HEADS SURVEY GROUP

England's director of labor supply says there will be no more sprawling cities like London. No speculative builders. No artificial land values. Land must and will be valued at it's clear site value and come under na- tional control.
 Building societies will have to ad- just themselves to planning and in- stead of financing speculative build- CTS, revert to their original role of thrift societies for workers.
 The worker will have more guar anteed employment, holidays with pay and, at the end of his life's work, retirement on an adequate in- come
 But one government architect, now engaged in drawing up a blue print for a new England, states that visionary plans are fine, but put ting them into practice is another matter.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-05

Remember what happened after the last war. The slogan was Homes for Heroes and what came out of it was depressed areas, rib- bon developments, jerry building. Private profit and vested interests were put before the peoples needs. That's why it is easy to make paper plans, easy to plot a fine, broad avenue through a bombed-out area. But peace is not the only essential for planned Britain. There must be economic and social change"
 Meanwhile the government has gathered together small group of experts under Sir John Keith to survey the English scene. After the war it will be their job to present a general plan to the government for rebuilding a better Britain.
 They will study the problems of rebuilding damaged towns, redistrib- uting the industrial population, re- vising the educational system, start ing technical and professional train ing courses for service men, in- creasing the payments of social in- surance schemes and constructing new housing centers.
 BOMBS SPEED TREND TO
 SOCIALIZED MEDICINE
 One social trend plainly evident already is the speed-up of progress toward complete specialization of British medicine, brought about largely by German bombs dropped on 20 hospitals.
 When the long process of rehabi- litation begins, private charity, mainstay of most British hospitals, will be unable to cope with the job of rebuilding.
 Private charity has in fact been barely able to keep the hospitals of England going during the last 20 years. And now with every ounce of the nations surplus wealth mobil- ized behind the sale of defense bonds, the going will be even harder.
 During depression British med icine took a long step toward social ization with the inauguration of a plan in which employees making less than $20 week were given near free disqualification.
 But the greatest impetus has been total war and the governments present Emergency Hospital Plan. This scheme enrolled 200O doctors in a free service of complete med- ical attention to air raid victims.
 The best specialists, mixed with general surgeons, are paid retain ing salaries which range from $500 to $6000 a year. They are permitted to teach or proctice medicine, but when called they give all time nec- essary to casualties.

ingman's England for him after this war.
 He's thinking of the day to come when there will be a revision of the educational system which will give his children a greater oppor- tunity to attend secondary schools universities, even Eton and Harrow. He's talking about unemployment and the creation of something far- reaching which will ensure more jobs to more people.
 Key men in the government to- day admit there will be sweeping changes in England's social struc- ture after the war, but what it will be called they can't say. Some be- lieve it will certainly not be strict capitalism and the retention of an out-and-out leisure class. Others say that the change will be socialism with a new name.
 But whatever it's going to be, they all agree as to the general pattern of the change.

In 1920, Congress slipped up on this

Swedish Labor Decides

Labor in Sweden has no desire to be
"uplifted" by Comrade Stain. With only
100000 incredibly stalwart Firms be-
tween Sweden's border and Soviet Rus
sias aggression, the Swedish people are
contributing generously toward Finland's
defense. About So, 000,00 In outright cash
has already been raised And the largest
single contribution about $l25,000-
came from the Swedish Confederation Of
Labor.
Workers of the world are arising-but
not to join hands with the blood-stained
paw of Joe Stain. The union men Of
Sweden, at least are contributing instead
toward the defeat OF those CORY, hypo-
critical doctrines that would subjugate
them, deny them the liberties they have
earned for themselves. The working man
all over the world has Joe Stains
number.
