 "It was enough" Schubert re- called ito embitter man for life. Especially since, during a trip to Scotland, I had specialized in scotch. After that, to sample the stuff they were selling in speak easies was heart-rending."
 Schubert has been in and out of show business for almost 30 years. He managed Russ Colombo at the time that popular singer of top tunes was killed by accident in Hollywood. He has been affiliated with a score of hotels and clubs and at the moment has reopened the Pelham Health Inn, cradle of jazz in the fledgling days of Ted Lewis, Vincent Lopez and Arnold John- son.
 sentiment as we'll as business got me into this spot" Schubert said, because it has a fascination for all band people. Lewis, Lopez and Johnson used to work out the arrangements here that became jazz and later swing"
 Schubert helped to discover, among others, the bands of Les Brown, Blue Barron, Jan Savitt and Artie Shaw at various times in his career. Right now he has hopes for a rising young aggrega- ton headed by Henry Jerome.
 Don't think, however" Schubert said, that my winetasting was a total loss. John McEntee Bowman, then head of hotel chain, as- signed me during prohibition to get ready for repeal and I passed on many of the most famous vintages in the world for him."

Costly Furniture
Now in Demand

When defense housing" hit tho
headlines il was generally sup
posed that the demand would he
for inexpensive furniture. but
manufacturers of more expensive
grades have discovered that they
have a market among defense
workers. also.
Although employees Of war in
dustries usually arrive At their
new Jobs without much accumu-
lated capital and are not paid high
wages unless they are skilled
craftsmen, they do have an as
Rred, steady income and. in many
stances, two or three members
6f the same family are employed.
The result is total family income
that justifies the purchase of we'll
made and well-styled furnishings.
Surveys prove that homemakers
hving in defense houses, like their
sisters elsewhere, consider the fu-
ture when purchasing furniture
and prefer TO select merchandise
which will still be useful in larger
homes later on.

Americans Can Take It

DONAID NJ NELSON director of the War Production
- Board in recent speech at Soldier Field Chicago,
spoke with customary candor in warning civilians of the
coming additional inconvenience dlscomors and hard
ships incidental to total warfare.
The Hearst newspapers believe that Mr. Nelson
correctly interpreted the Spartan mood of the American
public when he concluded:
"Yes, wei really learn to take it, and if i under
stand the temper of the American people today, don't
think there will be single complaint We know what
we're up against We want one thng-yictory. What
ever il costs, well pay and pay gladly
MR.. NELSON is right. The American people will do
wi whatever necessary to prosecute the against
the Axis successfully and achieve victory in the
shortest possible time.
There will be no grlmbing over the unavoidable
sacrifices yet at the time the public will not in this
grim period tolerate political pap and demagogy as
usual.
On top of the necessary sacrifices there should not
be superimposed unneeded hardshps growing out of
administrative ncompetency and emotional bias against
American economic institutions.
The practical test of sound policy is currently being
faced in Congress IN its effort to reconcile the need for
unprecedentedy large taxes with avoidance of destruction
of producing companies through leyng burdens beyond
their capacity
THE House ways and means committee has already
suggested easing the corporate burdens proposed by
the treasury.
Unless such common sense and moderation prevail,
this nation will blunder into unwilling domestic
scorched earth policy which will lay bare the tools of
production.
In order to get the production needed for victory
and for postwar rehabilitation, is essential permit

IF PRIVATE enterprise is to survive it is important
i TO let corporations build up surplus TO finance

uses.
Genuine Americans must stand guard lest internal
enemies Of the enterprise system the emergency
excuse for stripping private enterprise of the
financial needed to carry through the years
Such concealed sabotage of the American way
obviously should not be regarded legitimate and un

MIR. CHAIRMAN. you have
WI often heard that ministers
sons are bad.
Leon Henderson is the son of
a Methodist minister.
l do not know of many Meth
odist ministers sons who are
Communists.
Maybe there are some, but
Leon Henderson is not.
He is not as good as the best
son of a minister, nor is he as
bad as the worst. but he is as
smart as any minister's son who
ever lived in this country. and
l believe every member of the
committee on banking and cur
rency will say that l am telling
you the truth about that.

Il started out with Woodrow
Wilson in the Democratic Party

OF New Jersey for Woodrow Will
son for governor of that great
state, and later helped to elect
him president of the United

He has been a real, loyal, true
Democrat ever since. That does
not sound like communism.
The charge that he belonged

absolutely untrue.
