SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND (By
maiD A 10-minute halt in an all
day toughening hike in a drenching
rain and intermittent drizzle, under
ash-gray clouds tinted family with
purple, found 1t. Carroll B. Smith of
Charlottesville, Va, and his platoon
containing a number Of Winchester
men leaning YEARLY on an ivy
covered brick wall inclosing coun-
try churchyard.
The spire of the gray little church
rose from green yew branches fiat
tened and dripping with rain. The
brief stop, despite the water which
rolled down the burrows of their
faces, was a welcome respite to the
aching feet of Sergt. Roland B.
White, James E. Taylor and Frank
E. Pope. all of Winchester. Their
chief unusual experience since
crossing the Atlantic has been a
visit to Winchester, England, for
which their home town was named
and a cordial greeting from the
Mayor.
Just a little behind them in the
same line of march was a platoon
made up largely Of men from Char
lottesville.
Reminded Of Home.
These men were gathered In the
messy gateway of lovely manor
house to which the church at one
time had been An ADJUNCT The
house was set in lovely park Of
oaks and yews. It reminded them
lot, they said, of some of tho fine
country places around Char!ottes-
vile. They adjusted themselves to
the atmosphere Of the British coun-
tryside more easily than most Amer
lean troops because of this similar
ity.

Va, former University of Virginia
student, because, you see. Ivy is a
typical British settlement. There
must be so English families around
there. some of whom have kept up
the ways of life of the old country
and I was brought up among them.
With Corpl. Baptist was Sergt
William T. Chewing, who used to
be a member of the university foot
ball squad The whole group. in
fact, is imbued with the football
tradition of Charlottesville. They
have just walked away with the

Shoe Rationine Won
Slow Mrs. Roosevelt
Admits Inconvenience:
Says She Needs Pair

Shoe rationing may inconvenience
Mrs. Roosevelt, but 1t probably
won't cut down on her activities,
she told her press conference today
The rationing already has affected
her, she said. because she really
needs a pair of walking shoes.
A reporter asked the Princess of
Many Trails" as Mrs. Roosevelt was
ehristened by Penobscot Indians, If
the rationing would limit her &C
tivity.
mo" Mrs, Roosevelt said.
The Presidents wife is worried
about the effect Of the new 48-hour
rule on working women who already
have been having difficulty In get
ting their shopping done. She hoped
grocery stores and perhaps depart
qent stores would stay open later on
certain days to accommodate these
women.
To avert possible sending OF
white feathers" to boys still in civil
ian clothes as the war progresses,
Mrs. Roosevelt advocated that
badges be worn by young men with
occupational deferments.

I'VE, therefore, with difference to
his superior judgment, humbly re-
quest that he would at least take
the trouble of revising it, and of
making such additions and altera-
tons as he shall think proper upon
further perusal; but If we might
venture to express our wishes, they
would lead us to request that he
would write the epitaph in English
rather than In Latin, as we think
the memory of so eminent an Eng
fish writer ought to be perpetuated
IN the language to which his works
are so likely to be a latsing orna-
ment, which we also know to have
been the opinion OF the late doctor
himself"
The signers, who included Sir
Joshua Reynolds, Edmund Burke,
Edward Gibbon the historian and
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, wrote
their names around the note Of pro-
test In circle so that DR.. johnson
would not know who started the
movement or signed first. Sir
Joshua handed the protest to DR..
johnson, who took 1t In good part
and replied that he would comply
with certain parts of the request,
but he would never consent to dis
grace the walls OF Westminster
Abbey with an English inscription
Philosopher Jared.
DR.. Johnson was Jared out of his
philosophical calm one day by an
old schoolmate, one Oliver Edwards,
who said to him plaintively:
You are philosopher, Dr. john
son. have tried. too, in my time
to be philosopher, but don't know
how, cheerfulness was always break
Ing in"
When DR., Burney remarked that
David Garrick, the celebrated actor,
was beginning to look old, DR.. john
son snorted and said:
We'll. sir. you are not to wonder at
that: mo mans face has had more
wear and tear"
OF the decrease of corporal pun
ishment In schools DR.. johnson left
this cool observation to posterity:
There is now less fogging in our
great schools than formerly, but
then less is learned there; so that
what the boys save at one end
they lose at the other"
There is also grin for the reader
in DR.. Johnson's outburst against
Boswells chatter on one occasion:
Sir, you have but two topics
yourself and me. am sick of both
But the reader never would say
that OF the astonishing couple and

Only $500 Still Held
In Africa, Says Eden,
Disputing De 6au||e
Not All Are Detained for
Political Offenses,
Commons Is Told
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Feb. 10.-Gen. Charles
de Gaulle's estimate that $4,000 per-
sons were still held as political pris-
oners in North Africa was contra
dicted, in effect, today when Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden gave the
House of Commons figures indicat-
Ing only $500 persons were still in
custody, and not all these were held
for political of1enses.
The fighting French leader de-
clared yesterday in a press confer
ence that there were $4,000 political
prisoners in North African jails, the
majority Of them Frenchmen who
were imprisoned for wanting to con-
tinue the fight against Germany, OF
Spaniards who took part in the
Spanish Civil War.
! Mr.. Eden told the House that 3O2
prisoners had been released in
French Morocco up to February 3
with LA remaining in custody
pending further investigation OF
etheir. cases. Another 1866 were
held in Algerian prisons, but these
included offenders against criminal
laws, he said. 49,.
The Foreign Secretary said Alger-
ian authorities were releasing many
Of these and that mixed commits
sion would receive full details for
an inquiry into the other cases.
Asked to comment on the contrast
between his figures and those OF
Gen. de Gaulle, Mr. Eden said: Il
am giving information reaching me
from the Minister in Algiers and l
am quite sure that his information
as far as he can check it is correct"
Earlier he told the House he would
work in cooperation with Minister
OF Information Brendan Bracken in
seeking means to keep the public
more fully informed on the political,
economic and social situation In
North Africa.

The Senate Agriculture COM

port today on the Nye resolution
for an investigation Of food
prices in Washington. Senator
Nye, Republican, of North Dakota
said he would file the report when
the Senate reconvenes tomorrow.
Although the survey would be
confined to the District. as far as
retail prices are concerned, its pur-
pose is national in scope. Senator
Nye has explained his objective Is
to find out how much the farmer
receives out of what the ultimate
consumer pays for any commodity

The North Dakotan believes tho
study will bear out his belief that
the farmer has received a small

last Fall. Senator Nye said he
thought the Agriculture Committee
could make the survey more easily
here, and that the results would re-
fleet approximately the conditions
in any large city. ~a
Under Senate rules, a resolution
can be taken up only on the day it
is reported by unanimous consent.
Action on the Nye proposal may be
put of until next week, therefore,
