THE "OLD SCHOOL TTE' WEARS THIN

 London. .--Eton classmates: An earl's son and trlickdrlvers boy, ,,
 Five years ago, or even Q scant three, such . pleblan idea in aristo- cratir, blue-blooded England wher0 "tho old school tie" is just as sacred to the starchy set as arc the great stone lions in Trafalgar Square. would have been branded something foul out of Red Russia,
 But today, tho social earth quake, launched by the war, Is rumbllng louder and louder,
 War taxes and loss of revenue, resulting from so many youths going Into service instead of the hallowed halls of Harrow, Eton, Rugby and Winchester, are put ting the blitZ on the told school tic" to the extent that any- thing actually Is possible,
 ALL PARENTS WANT
 THEIR SONS "IN"
 For years 1t has been the secret ambition of the lower middle classes to s0nd their boys to the best schools along with the 'swells",
 Tho famous English public school" is, you probably know, the equivalent of Ameriea's swank private school, During tho last war, sons of prohteers finally managed to crash their sacred precincts in thls country.
 Today, however, tho situation has gone further, A nelghbor of mine went to q shop the other day to have her hair done, Later sho came and told me how taken back she was when her halrdresser very proudly informed her he was saving his money-to send his son to Rugby,
 Many of the sohools-rather than close down-are accepting consider able reductions in fees, especially If the father Of a student Is in the forces, ... ...
 Hitherto, hidebound rules and regulations, especially regarding outfits and extras" are being jettisoned,
 Eton boys, for instance, hayH given up wearing their traditional silk hats, And some of the best prep schools have sent parents circulars saying use of better wearing corduroy knickers or trousers, instead of regulation aannels, will be allowed now.
 Tho concessions are vitaliy ne- ceSSRry, too, if the schools are to remain in existence.
 The upshot of the whole evolu- ton may be that the war will truly democratize England's sys. tenn of cducation--permanently.

United Press Latin American Editor
 Brazilian police In the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul have seized 6 Ger1nan-made map, out- lining that state, northern Argen- tine provinces and territories and the entire republic of Uruguay as future points of German domlna- ton"
 The map was shown by Rio Graflde authorities to Judge Julio o, dc dregorlo, Q Uruguayan gov. ernment investigator of Nazl and other Axis fifth column and subS verslve activities. It corroborated Q charge made by President Roose- welt last fall that the Nazis planned to divide Latin America Into areas subject to their rule.
 German tnfiltration into gouth- ern Brazil and such Argentine areas ns the stAtegic border Terri- tory of Misiones has been in prog- ress for 6 number of years. Many of the Germans resident in south- ern Brazil and northern Argentlna for Q generation or more have been peaceful agricultural colo ists.
 Brazil Police Active
 However since the rise of Hit lerism they have ben subjected, with increasing pressure, to Nazi idealogy and principles. through the i1aciinations of German cofl- sular officials and destapo agents. South American governments have faced growing difficulties in coping with the rising threat to the sover. eighty of their countries.
 An all-out drive against totali- tarian agents did not begin in Brazil and Uruguay until those countries-to9ether with most of tho other South American repub- lies - severed relations with the Axis upon recommendation of the conference Of American foreign ministers late in January.
 The Brazilian police have been extremely active in rounding up spy rings and fifth column organ- nations, including many Germans and Japanese and even Q few Itali- ans. Two hundred of their prison. CTS have been lodged in e special concentration camp on the Ilha da Flores in Rio de Janeiro Bay and arrests continue.
 Important Military Role
 Nevertheless, the campaign now being waged against the fifth cole uminisr got off to e late start, and 1t appears likely that ever sterner measures must be brought to bear against Axis subverSive organiza- tons, befre they are finaly wiped out
 President detllio Vargas, of Brazil, recognizing his country's increase by calling Up reserves and permitting voluntary enlistments.
 Both Brazil and Uruguay. as well as most of the other Latin American countries, are receiving lend-lease armament from the United States as fast aS 1t can be- supplied. The countries lying south of the Rio Grande, protecting the southern flank Of the United States may soon be able to defend themselves from any military threat, and to play an important and practical military role in the general scheme Of hemiSpheric defense.

ItS,Bot often that C song can be followed through the mill from ln- ccpt.on to publication, so "All ] Need Is You" offers a good chance to study the process.
 This one might be said to have had It's start in front Of q Tin Pan Alley building when chance brought together the three writers-B BGnny Davis, whosa best known hit is "Margie": Mitchell Parish, whose nagnum opus is the lyric to "Star. dust" and Peter Dc Rose, whose chief claim to fame is Deep Pur- pie"
 Songs written by this illuStrIous trio have sold more than S0,000, ,00O copies.
 A Nice First Line
 Davis suggested q soft drink and the writers adjourned to a nearby drug store. While they were waiting for service they diGcuSsed-as song writers always do-the internal Sit- uation of ASCAP (American Soci- ety of Composers, Authors and Pub- ilshers), from which all three draw sturdy annual royalties.
 After moment, Davis perceived they were getting no attention for good reason. The soda jcrker was raptly whispering to q girl custom CT. Just aS Benny interrupted the idyl, the clerk sighed, "AIl l need is you"
 On the way out of the store Benny stopped the others and said;
 T don't need a million dollars
 To make my dreams come true.
 Baby, all need Is you"
 Nice first line quoth Parish.
 Where's a piano?" said De Rose,
 Sold Song Next Day
 A plano was found and De Rose began picking out tempos until Benny stopped him with, That's It."
 T got a line" exclaimed Parish. He recited:
 I'm right at the gates of heaven And I could walk right through. Baby, all I need Is you"
 By this time De Rose had a rough 'einblance of the final tune blocked )ut to fit both lines. Parish and Davis sat down suggesting dozens # lines to each other. After an hour hey had working first draft of ! he entire song. Each took a copy Of | he lyric home for polishing. De- ] lose stayed to smooth the tune. The next day the trio met, gave he lyric a final adjustment. okayed he tune and played 1t for Benuy iilbert of Miller Music Go. Any i ong-wrtter = amateur or profess ional--could have done the same D to that point. What happened ext, however, happens to very few. Hilbert bought the song.

The Voice of Labor Joins in congrat-
ulating Local 1874 President George
Meyers on his unanimous election to
the important and difficult job of pres
ident of the Maryland and District of
Columbia Industrial Union Council,
and notes with regret the declination
of John T. Jones to run for another term

Meyers has tough job on his hands.
In the first place he has to fill Jones'
shoes which walked the Legislative
halls in Annapolis and Washington and
accomplished great deal for the work
ers. shoes which walked on picket lines,
in OrganiZational drives. into confer
ence halls and brought many gain for
all of labor. Secondly. Meyers takes
over the presidential reins at the most
critical time in Americas history. time
which calls for cearsightedness, per-
>istence and initiative for a victory
over Hitler.
The State CIO has lost a capable and
intelligent leader in Jones, but all men,
bers of the Clio in the District of Co
lumbia and Maryland are certain that
Meyers will carry on the leadership de-
veloped by Jones.
