The Bill of Rights sets forth my positoin more eloquently than I ever could. The Constitution is the private property of neither Walter Winchell nor Burton K. Wheeler. It belongs to all of us.
 I am not Senator Wheeler's judge but I am his fellow citizen-with an equal right to equal protection Therefore, as part of my right to free speech, 1t is my duty to de- fend his rights, as 1t Is his duty to defend mine. I believe the Aineri- can people should reject Senator Wheeler's foreign policy but, legally, not even the American people have the right to interfere with his free speech or mine .... Brickbats and name-calling are not proof. Egg throwers prove the need of Q police. man--not e Two-Ocean Navy.

This is to as- sure those who agree with me that my position is unchanged. I simply believe that Senator Wheeler is wrong in what he says, but 1t Is my deepest conviction that he has a right to say it. He has Q right to be wrong!

APPLE A DAY KEEPS

HE Is not much given to jok-

rib that left Miss Dietrich gasp
ing. There was an especially
difficult scene in which the star
opened a door to face Roland
Young and an armload of roses,
and everything depended on her
manner and expression. Clair
gave her a long explanation of
the complicated mood he
wanted. 1t was a scene, he said,
that called for every nuance;
she must appear highborn, yet
yielding; reticent and shy, and
yet a little eager.
Pretty soon, in an atmosphere
taut with the importance of her
effort, they were ready to try
it. Miss Dietrich opened the
door. Standing outside, totally
unimpressed by her histrionics
was a dispirited old horse.
When she had recovered from
that one, the actress got a mea'
sure of revenge by ribbinf
