Portrait OF a
Mans Thoughts:
The Front Pages: Bruce Bliven,
F'reda Kirchwey and other editors
of the opinion weeklies argued that
the U. S. war propaganda copies the
methods of the last war and also the
Axis pattern. The Axis tactics must
be all right, the way some of our
elected officials are mounting its
messages The Sun found sill
yer lining in the trials of Frances
ex-leaders at Rom. Daladier's pop
offs, The Sun points out, have put
the accusers on the defensive. The
ex-premier Redeemed the courts kiss
er by delivering long spiel praising
De Gaulle, which Berlin won't care
for Dan Parker's wrist-spank-
ing of the race tracks, for making
the customers finance the owners
patriotism, was lifted by another
a. m.er. But for some reason ex-
pired in one edition . . The UPS
figure wizard broke every heart in
Hollywood with his breakdown of the
proposed new income tax. An in
come of million, he estimates, will
eat up enough U. S. and California
taxes to leave the receiver approx
mately $4,000 in the red Too
many correspondents are guessing
that Hitler won't have the stuff for
his Russian Spring offensive. Two
years of underselling Berlin should
teach us better. He simply loves
us to get optimistic.
TYPEWRITER RIBBONS: Edmund b.
Chafee: The majority OF us are for free
speech only lUhen it deals ,Oith subjects
concerning Which Ue haze no intense con-
uictions -. Lin Yutang: He 1Uas talking
in an unbuuoned mood . :. Villa Gather:
Puffy ,Uhite clouds racing like lambs let
out to pasture in the spring Mary
Roberts Rinehmt: She ,Uas gna,oing on her
grievance like dog on bone Jan
Struther: The apple tree buds ,oere as
tightly, rosily clenched as baby's fist {.
the ,Uind's mouth.
The Story Tellers: Vogue, like lots
of us, is disguised with the way
theater audiences respond to The
National Anthem. The mag is sore
at "the ridiculously casual way in
which the audience giggle and whis-
per while The Star-Spangled Ban
ner' is being played-as though it
were device to enable them to put
on their coats and powder their
noses to music The blackout,
John Gunther reports after sampling
London's, is "an unmitigated nui-
sance." He urges Gin Liberty that
the U. S. avoid them as long as
possible A beauty expert in
Golfers advises gals to be natural,
to be themselves. He says they
should leave their faces alone, ex-
cept for foundation cream, powder,
rouge, lipstick, mascara, eyeshadow
and bluing What, no newsreels?
The You-Don't-Say Dept: The
SEP editorialist is one of the few
ex-isolationists who has remained
ex This excerpt from an editorial
is good reminder for our Cliveden
Set:
TT is sink or swim. Japan is not
waging war on the President. Hitler
is not warning on Dorothy Thomp-
son. In defeat, if you escape with
your life, you will escape with little
else, depend upon it,
''The British, the Germans, the
Russians and the japanese have no
illusions. They know they are fight
ing for self-existence, and the devil
take the hindmost So are YOU"
Some people think freedom of the press
only giues you the right to agree ,Uith them
-. Happiness doesn't depend on having a
lot or little. 1t depends on hauing what
you think is enough :. Doing silly things
occasionally prevents us from being silly
permanently :. 1t is roeH to ignore the
detractors who disagree ,oith What you say
because they would disagree ,oith anything
you say :. . Funny that it's easier for a
friend to remember the one favor you
didn't do than recall the many fapors you
did,
The Clivedunces would rather try
to win an argument with the Presi-
dent than help him win the war
An honest columnist is bound
to step on many toes because there
are so many heels around Any
kind of constructive criticism will
always be considered destructive by
those criticized Some Congress-
men think of the people only when
they need their votes Some
ex-ostriches should be reminded that
you can't love freedom, if you use
it to hurt the country fighting for it
:. A gal doesn't have to be in
telligent to outwit the smartest gent
she just has to be beautiful :.
Uncle Samson can't hold back the
enemy, if he can't trust the people
behind his back The time to
worry about what your enemies say
is when your friends start to believe
them.
