on your
~ fine editorial entitled Postal
Clerks Plight" Your demo-
cratic paper has always taken
fair and unbiased opinion on
the problems of the laboring
man, more so than one of the
other Detroit papers.
Our problems, in regard meet
ing the increased living costs on

were thoroughly covered by the
editorial, and il is hoped that
our brother laborers in private
industry and the general publicx

Mr.. Dies Makes Good

WITH the help of Communists and New Dealers, who
w making things and worse for themselves,
Representative Martin Dies has been doing very well
indeed in his controversy with Vice President Henry Wal
lace over the employment of radicals and Communist
fellow travellers in the Board of Economic Warfare
1t is edifying series of episodes.
EPISODE ONE-Mr Dies fired the first shot by issuing
l. open letter addressed to the vice president as
chairman of the board which the congressman named
names and submitted documentary evidence the pub
ished writings of some of those named.
According to sound journalistic practice, this was the
original STORY in the controversyany other contrlbu
tons would have only secondary value as follow-up'
material
But before Mr.. Dies statement could be printed,
some of the Washington correspondents who prefer New
Deal handouts to spot news TO Mr. Wallace with
it in order to get Mr. Walaces "rebutaI first and play
it UP" ahead of Mr.. Dies damaging expose.
The vice president FUSED to be newspaper man HIM
self once on farm journal, he quickly composed
reoinder to what had not yet been printed, accusing
Representative Dies of helping Hitler"
Then with the vice president to quote the friendly
correspondents rushed out their STORIES making Vice
President Walaces epise the lead and giving Mr. Dies
statement the secondary place.
AS consequence of the vice president being vice
president the whole story got the front pages OF New
Deal papers and of papers hostile to the Dies Committee
which-without the Wallace statement-would perhaps
have played down" the Dies statement obscurey
inside page.
So Mr. Waaces miscalculated shot "back-fred' on

 One Of our helpers, a former Army man, had reported an in- teresting dialogue which supposedly took place between Eisenhower and a candidate for officers training school in the last war at Camp Co Gettysburg, Penn. The candidate was Stan Cofall. one of Notre Danes all-time football standouts, and a participant in the aforemen- toned 1915 game. Eisenhower is supposed to have stoppeu in the middle of his examination of the officer candidate and said, "CofAll. Are you the guy who played against Army in l915?"

New York, Dec. I6.---A number oi |pur cheerful helpers have been writing in that we ought to explore fhe bootball background of General Eisenhower, who is currently en- jagged in advancing the bah in Africa.
 Our corresponds its assured us we'd discover the general was a mashing ball carrier at west Point, end we'd discover he was particu- arly sensational in the 1915 game against Notre Dame, despite the Cadets defeat.
 This game was singled out be- ause we had done piece on 1t. his was the game in which Notre )ame used only eleven men. One f the, the center, later became president of the university. We list- d a number of players represer ing ach team. We didn't list Eisen- lower. The pleasant hecklers wa-t- know why.
 Well, we checked with the West oint historians and 1t turns ou. nat while the general played ootball as a cadet he was not sn he aforementioned Notre Dame ame; as matter of fact he never hjoyed the excitement of facing ther Notre Dame or the Navy.
 Howitzer, the cadet year book, is here the historians go when they Iant to get run down on one O. heir old athletic performers. The ear book records that Eisenhower jed out for the football team in
 i2. his yearling or sophomore year.
 There 6 DO report of his eyer

his ever happened, of course. The years have prbably blurred oui helper's memory.
 Eisenhower didn't desert football altogether following the knee in- jury. We don't know just how to write this, what with our mounting admiration for the general and all the traditions Q fighting man stands for ln our army. It has been said that circumstances alter all eases and, of course, we have the record to show the general didn't quit football designedly; which means he didn't become the teams cheer Header the next season as Q matter of choice. Yes, the general, who is causing SO much chereing on the battle fronts of the democracies these winter weeks, was actually a cheer leader at West Point. But VIC like to think the old time cheer leader didn't go in for quaint dance steps, whirring cart wheels, and tenor urg!ngs. If Eisenhower was c cheer leader, then we're positive he was Q tough cheer leader. Prob ably chewed toeacco, too.
 Critical
 Strange as 1t may seem even in these days there are persons who actually take their prize fighters seriously. Young Tami Mauriello, who stopped the mad Nova and thereby became prominent as q candidate for the heavyweight du- ration championship, apparently has a large and articulate follow ing. The Mauriello legions protest that we didn't grow lyrical enough over his victory and demand to know who are we to cast aspira- tions on such a stirring and signih- cant thing as the heavyweight dura- ton championship? What's wrong with having a duration cham pionP' one of the Mauriello mouth- pieces writes. Nothing, of course, except nohody's going to pay any attention to these cheap inventions. Can you ,inag,ne anybody taking one of these ersatz champions seri- ously as long ase real fighters like Louis and Conn are in the service?
 Another Mauriello merchant wants to know why we waited until Mauriello stopped Nova before we decided the Yogi yokel couldn't fight. This is hitting below the belt. From time to time we may have been slightly influenced by Nova's personality but his shortcomings as fighter were so obvious even we couldn't miss on him. What we didn't decide until after the Mau- riello fight was that very likely Nova and his disarming, gracious manager had been knowingly sell Ing a gold brick and all that daily stuff about cosmic punches and synamic stances was just a smoke screen, designed to conceal the fact that the fighter never could fight. That's where we were late in catch ing the boat.
