NOTES OF A NEW YORKER
 Reports Helen Worden in a San Francisco newspaper"S .. it is in- timated that Walter requested Sherman Billingsley, the proprietor, to keep MT. Ross out, saying that if he refused, he, Walter, would not show up again."
 Echoes D. Harrison in a Mem phis paper: " the story is that he informed the Sork Club it would have to choose between Ross and himself. Inasmuch as MT. Winchell is Exhibit A among the Stork Clubs list of celebrities, MT. Billingsley was in a dilemma. So MT. Ross was barred"
 Well, we think that counterfeit currency has been passed around tong enough-so here is the fact <. Which, incidentally, i1r Billings ley, the Stork owner, has related to numerous interviewers, none of whom bothered to print it <. {. MT. Ross edits 8 magazine He per- mitted a contributor to state in it that "once Walter Winchell linked the name of his friend, Sherman Billingsley Ca married man) with that of another woman."
 Now, MT. Winchell had done nothing of the sort-and MT. Bill ingsley wrote MT. Ross telling him of the regrettable inaccuracy MT. Ross who abhors inaccuracy ignored the letter and made no correction :. MT. Ross, whose pass port was then confiscated, has been chewing his nails ever since-until now he is down to the elbows.
 On Jan. 21st the Associated Press friends said that Secretary and Mrs. Ickes expected the birth of their second child in April" If a columist offered that scoop it would be criticized as "keyhole- .peeking" invasion of privacy" and everything except news.
 Orchestra pilot Sammy Kaye al- leges he overheard this repartee-hee tn Lindy's the other midnight. Two Broadwise-guys were mangling herring in contemp,ative silence when one suddenly started dream ing out loud Boy" he unused, T wish I were at Hialeal where it's nice and warm. We'd play the races and plunk some dough down on an 8-to-1 shot. The nag would win and we'd bet the winnings on a 6-to-1 to win. Then for the third race, we'd take the winnings and bet on a nag running at 4-to-1. And then we'd--."
 "Justaminute," interrupted his buddy, T think we'd oughta skip the third race-I don't like that horse, at all."
 At the Stork last night a fellow didn't bother to ask his girl friend what she wanted but went right ahead and ordered a chicken sand wich and Scotchnsoda for her.
 "Oh," she oh'd, "but I want some caviar and champagne!" : "Izatso?" he responded, "does your mother feed you that?"
 No" she said, but she doesn't touch my knees, either!"
 Over at the Royal Palm. Club the other evening Wesley McCravy and Shag Day, the managers, were la menting about things. Did you know" Wesley intoned, "that we have many walters here who once were wealthy and owned their own night clubs? Our spotlight man, too, he once owned the Silver Slipper and the man waiting on this table once owned his own joint."
 The waiter returned to bring a bowl of soup. Didn't you once own your own night club?" asked Wesley with great feeling.
 Not me-" was the reply, T own eleven apartment houses"

 WiIlkie, in supporting FDR's foreign policy, has been practically accommodated by the c. O. P. for putting the Republic ahead of the Republicans. .. Willkie'S support of the President surprised many of his packers, who find 1t hard to lln- derstand how man would rather be an American than a politician ]. When a few New. Workers are shot in the streets by gangsters it occasions universal indignation But thousands of people are killed by dictator-gangsters in the streets of England, and you find many Americans with 8 so-what att titude about that FDR'S physician reports that his health is the best it's been in years |. So is Americas!
 Our Double Talk Dept:. A head line in the January 17th Trib states: "Ellender Says Aid to Britain Bill Means War" Then the story reports that Senator Ellender of La, severiy rapped the bill. Then in the same yarn Ellender is quoted as saying: "As far as I am con- cerned, I am for aiding England to the limit of our ability" |. {. |. Mebbe the Trio needs an editor.
 Hugh Johnson colyumed that he believes we should give some aid to Britain i. He defends his foreign policy viewpoint by saying most of the letters he gets agree with him and urge aid to Britain.
 But what Johnson doesn't men, tion is this: That in a January magazine he wrote piece urging all aid to Britain be stopped!
 Dear WW": affectionately writes s. O. Shapiro of Look magazine, 'This'u give you a kick. A group of my friends were on the liner Manhattan listening to you that night via portable radio. And the first they knew about the Manhat- tan being grounded was your flash! The sands which grounded the big skiff are very soft, and the liner just slipped into their embrace. In- cidentally, the wags are saying that it's the first time anybody ever knew that Pam Beach was just another sand bar. Ha-hap
 Here is the reason the Duke and Duchess decided not to appear at the infantile paralysis affairs on the Presidents birthday =. The Surf Club, near Miami Beach, showed ahead it's Bundles for Bri- tain event week earlier to get the WindsorS, too British royalty must not appear at British benefits in foreign places-and so the Wind sors were forced to cancel the FDR celebrations-costing the Miami affairs at least an added $50,0O0.

originally anticipated. because or employment conditions here.
 MT. Chittenden stressed this $ only . guess. as complete informa- tion is not yet available. However, it Is known that many youngsters of high school age have obtained employment in factories or stores here during the summer and 1t is logical to feel some who are over 16 will want to leave school and continue work. whether their par- ents will permit this remains to be seen. Under the state law, chil- dren must remain in school until they at least reach the age of IS. Because Of this law, working condi- tions are not expected to affect the total of the class entering high school as these freshmen are for the most part under IS.
 No date for the school board meet ing has yet been set.
