IN STREET.

Dear Sir:
People talk too much.
This is my theme, and I stick to tt
even at the risk of talking too much
'I have been listening to all kinds Of
people run off at the mouth, over the
radio on the buses, in the streets, Of
fees, homes. Everywhere I 60, people
talk too much
''They talk all the time, and about
everything, and most of them just give
themselves away, how little they know,
wrong.
They talk so much that nobody ever
agrees with anybody else about anything
And the gist of their conversation is alb
solutely banal. With all the things 60
ing on all around the world you might
think they would find good topics. but
all they talk about is worthless They
have nothing to say about good music, or
good books, or any of the really worth
while things. When they talk about
the war, they not only mispronounce all
the names, both of places and people, but
they obviously do not know what they
are talking about.
Il have been listening to this stream
of words ever since I came here eight
months ago, and in all that time, travel
ing around, and going from one place to
another, I have not heard a single thing
which everybody doesn't know already
What is the use of putting up signs about
the enemy listening, when there is moth
ing said which any respectable enemy
would find 1t worth hearing?
People give themselves away by talk
ing all the time. There are many speech
peculiarities which no one would know
about, and many bad traits of character,
which would remain concealed, If their
owners did not find 1t necessary to talk
all the time. have in mind one young
man with a speech defect. You would
think that he, OF all people, would keep
quiet. but you would be wrong; he talks
as hard and as fast as he can, trying to
keep up with the more agile-tongued. I
know typically catty woman who would
pass as very fine woman if she would
keep her big mouth shut, but she will
not, she must talk all the time and about
things she knows nothing, but enough to
reveal herself before all, strangers and
friends alike.
Washington is town begged down
by conversation. This would not be so
bad II it was about the really great
things, but 1t is always about something
Of no importance to any one, especially
us listeners. Maybe we should elect
topics in advance, and hand them to the
people on printed sheets. so we may be
assured of interesting talk, if blah-blal,
is what we must listen to for the dura-
ton.
"very truly yours M. J. McC."
~
Now this is odd, because many new
comers to Washington think that the
people here do not talk enough.

Busic Facts

CIldlIuldIl May VI Tile f1OuSc MILL
tary Affairs Committee does not
think Bernard M. Baruch made
good case in testifying on the father
draft issue. "He never did get down
to the basic facts-whether by max
Ing use of men already in the service
and by rescreening men in civilian
life, 1t would be necessary to draft
fathers"
But Mr.. Baruch got far closer down
to the basic facts than those who
have been talking about putting
legislative ban on drafting fathers
to protect the civilian morale" of
the country. One basic fact, stated
with admirable clarity, was that we
sshould give General Marshall what
she wants" to fight the war; that
Congress either should support him
or throw him out" He has been put
In charge of the job of raising, train
ing and fighting the Army. He can
not discharge that responsibility if
Congress attempts to bar from the
draft the men he has to have.
There is another basic fact de-
,veloped by Mr. Baruch's testimony
which it is important to remember.
The weaknesses in our whole man
power setup should be remedied. But
the place to apply the remedy is not
the armed forces. For that is not
where the defect lies. The defect lies
in our failure to have placed the
came obligation of service on the
civilian that has been placed on the
men in uniform. Mr.. Baruch says
s"all must be treated alike" and
there must be equality of sacrifice"
But we have not treated all alike
and there has not been an equality of
sacrifice. 1t is a question whether
we can attain that ideal without en-
actment of a national service law,
which evidently lacks Mr.. Baruch'S
support. But there can be little doubt
that the law will be enacted as a
necessity unless some of the existing
civilian manpower snarls are elm
mated, perhaps by the success OF the
so-called West Coast experiment, en-
bodying some of Mr.. Baruchs ideas,
now in progress.
The force behind Senator Wheeler's
and Mr.. Mays insistence on prevent
ing the draft of fathers Is not wholly
sentimental desire to keep them
safe at home. 1t springs from the in
escapable fact that there is wide
popular dissatisfaction with q sys-
tenn which is giving the Army and
Navy fathers, when they want single
men, and single men are being de-
ferred on occupational grounds. This
Is a necessity in the case of single
men performing skilled work for
which there are no available replace
ments by married men. But the
abuses of occupational deferment
cannot be remedied by cutting down
the flow of men for the armed
services.
Mr.. Baruch's determination, as he
left the stand, to make an investi-
cation of his own into the complaints
OF labor boarding over the country
and to talk with the military author
tiles about specific complaints of
waste of men in uniform, Is the right
approach. Enactment of legislation
arbitrarily to ban the draft of
fathers is the wrong approach. That,
certainly, is a basic fact.

May Accuses Senate
Of Running Out on
Father Deferments
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
Waxing wroth over inability to
obtain final action on legislation to
put prewar fathers at the bottom
Of the draft list, Chairman May OF
the House Military Affairs Commit
tee today accused the Senate OF
running out on US"
Mr.. May is head of the House con-
ferees named two weeks ago te
attempt to work out a compromise
with a Senate committee.
The conferees met early this week
but broke up in disagreement over
how much authority should be given
to Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
selective service director.
Since Monday of this week, when
we met with the Senate conferees
l have been trying to arrange for
another meeting so we can finally
dispose of this important question. .
Mr.. May said, I'VE have not even
considered yet the deferment angles
OF the bill, and the way it looks now
we will have trouble getting together
to even talk about them"
Mr.. May said he would insist on
another meeting late this week and
emphasized that the House con-
ferees would insist on retention of
the principle that fathers be induct-
ed last.
The House language was so spe-
ciflc that selective service officials
are known to have objected to it on
the ground it might hopelessly tie
up the draft program.

this judgment no Fifth Army man
