EDITORIAL LIVES ON
(RiverSide PreSS)

NItlNGGSlue 1IeSS)
Harold Macdonald Anderson, 64 war
correspondent and author of the New
York Suns famous editorial ''Lindbergh
Flies Alone" died of heart attack re-
Gently.
Anderson, an executive and editorial
writer for The Sun since 1925, was, ac-
cording to q news dispatch, stricken on
subway platform after leaving his office.
Although widely known for the posts
he had held in almost half century of
newspaper work, Anderson achieved his
greatest public recognition by three
paragraph editorial tribute to Col. Char
les A. Lindbergh after the latter's epoch
al solo flight to Paris in 1927
His editorial follows:
Alone?
Is he alone at whose right side rides Cour-
age with Skill within the cockpit and Faith upon
the left? Does solitude surround the brave when
adventure leads the way and ambition reads the
dials? Is there no company with him for whom
the air is cleft by daring and the darkness is
made light by emprise?
True, the fragile bodies of his followers do
not weigh down his plane; true, the fretful minds
of weaker men lacking from his crowded
cabin but as his airship keeps her course he
holds communion with those spirits that
inspire to intrepidity and by their sustaining po-
tency give strength to man, resource to mind
content to soul.
Alone? With what other companions would
that man fly TO whom the choice given?
The editorial, dashed off in a few min
utes and printed while the spirit of st.
Louis was still roaring over the Atlantic
with the outcome of the flight doubtful
became a journalistic classic overnight
and was reprinted in hundreds Of papers.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. T. - There
have been lots of estimates OF the
genius and odd character OF Orson
Welles, but there is no doubt re-
garding his standing as a typical
Hollywoodsman. He doesn't rate at
all.
Whatever the fate of his forth
coming Citizen Kane" and how
ever bright his cinematic future
after that, Welles seems doomed
to remain an alien in Never-Ne-
yer Land. He just doesn't do the
things or encounter the experiences
always being attributed to Movie
town celebrities.
For example, no claim ever has
been made that a studio gateman
has failed to recognize Welles in
makeup, barring him from the lot.
Nor has any story been written
about how. while on location,
Welles was bitten, or at least
threatened by a Black Widow spi-
Ter. Apparently. too, he never has
risked his life to save any member
OF his company from a rattlesnake.

WASHINGTON Jan. An lnl-
portant part of Congress- job has
always been its power to investigate.
That power is due to be exercised
in several important fields by the
new Congress.
Most famous of all recent con-
gresSional inquiries, of course, has
been the Dies committees inveStl-
cation of un-American activities.
Congressman Martin Dies, chair
man of this committee, insists that
its study Of fifth column activities
is now more than ever vital TO the
nations safety. He has announced
that he will ask for S1,000,00O to
enable the committee to continue its
work on a large scale.
Whether Congress will give him
that much is an open question
but that it will vote to continue
the committees existence, and Will
give it a considerable sum of money
to work with, seems highly prob
able. BY centering more attention
on NaZi and Fascist activities Dies
has Gained many of the fears which
congressional liberals used to have
of him. and his long fight with the
administration has = for the mo-
ment. at least - been harmoniZed
