Washington and the south with out ever getting into the news papers. On one of these re- gently his private car was stand- ing the washington railroad yards about mile from the Union Sta ton when there was sudden crash against the car window.
 Mackenzie King, who had been sitting beside the window quietly reading, was so surprised that he jumped up, cried, Assassin"
 But he found 1t was only an urchin heaving @ rock at his car window. Afterward the portly Prime Minister got down on his hands and knees and searched the floor to pick up pieces of glass.
 WILLKIE AND THE CENSOR Wendell Willkie sent a hot tele- gram to Chief Censor Byron Price the other day protesting that his speeches-some of them critical of British imperialism were so long delayed by the Censor that they could not be published ade- quately in British newspapers.
 Two of Willkie's important speeches, in Toronto and before the N. Y. Herald Tribune Forum, were delayed by the Censor until after delivery at Il p. m., by which time 1t was around 3 a. m. in London and too late for pulp lication in morning newspapers. Since British morning papers are the ones which publish speeches at length and which really carry weight, this meant the virtual blanketing of his speeches.
 When Wlllkie took this up with the New York Censor 1t was explained that no speeches were released before delivery because Maxi agents might pick them up from radio transmits sion wave-lengths and then broadcast replies to the speech while 1t was being delivered.
 Willkie accepted this, until Vice President Wallace delivered his famous speech on Woodrow Will sons birthday. Then he was amazed to learn that W-llace's speech was cabled in large part to England two days in advance.
 Immediately Willkie wired By- ron Price inquiring why this happened. "DO members of the administration enjoy different rule than that which applies to me?" he asked.
 Byron Price wired back that the Office of War Information had cabled Vice President Wallace's speech to London in advance and that the Office of Censorship had nothing to do with it.
 To this Willlkie replied: "The question is not which govern
 ment agency transmitted one speech and which government agency prohibited transmission of another. The question is whether it is the policy of the Administration to permit one persons talk to be transmitted to the London press in time for real use, and prohibits the Other."
 WTLLKIE vs BRITISH
 That's the end of the debate oyer the transmission Of Wlllkie's speeches. However, that is not the end Of the debate over nri- tish Imperialism. Wiilkie very definitely intends to k0ep this up. fge realizes that he may be EligundeFgtoOd by the British, especially when they read hlB speeches only in brief excerpts.

In all likelihood the supply of meat will
 become less as time goes on. There is an appreciable rise in the price of livestock and independent packers find it un- profitable to operate. It has been urged to have a more flexible plan or system of ceiling prices for the packers, the wholesalers and the retailers. Many packers are just calling it a day and closing up under existing conditions. The cold rooms of meat markets are enorm- ous, all that they should be, but there isn't anything, or hardly anything, to put into them. Ceiling prices adjusted to the livestock cost would be way out.

This was necessary, first, be- cause FDR wanted to appoint the Democratic ex-chai1man as arn- bassador, and ordinarily there can be only one Ambassador from the United States to the British Elm pire. Also FDR xnew that Chur- chill was acquainted with Flynn personally.
 As a matter of fact, the Bri- tish, aside from the Senate fur0r over Belgian paving blocks, which they don't un- derstand, are not unhappy over Ed Hymns appointment. This is chiefly because Ed is Irish- in fact very Irish, having been educated in Ireland. And the British need more Irish ties, not only among Irish- Americans, but among Irish Australians, of which there are many.
 Also the British know some of the backstage support Flynn has given them and the Presi- dents foreign policy. Back in 1940, when foreign policy was really tough, FDR called Ed down from the Bronx to help him get the neutrality act changed so he could begin aid to Britain. Flynn sat in Majority Leader John Me- Cormack's office, summoned a steady stream of isolationist Dem ocrats - many of them fellow Irish - and persuaded them to go down the line.
 Those British who know the in side of that fight, haven't forgot ten. ,t

Whether or not the United States can escape serious imitation in this war may depend largely on how suc- cessfully the public, the price ad- lninistrators and the rationing boards can prevent development of a black market.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Afraid of Dark

Solved the problem of fear of the dark, by giving, my child a small flashlight to keep under his pillow. His knowledge that he could hin- self dispel the darkness seemed to remove his wear of 1t. A bedlamp he could turn on might do as well, but small boys love flash lights.
 (M. D.
 Answer-Thank you, sir. If the baby is trained from the beginning to sleep in darkened room without any lamp, there will be no fear of the dark-unless such fear is i1- stilled by injudicious stories or un- less the child finds elders are them- selves afraid of the dark.
 Involution
 Please tell me what "involution" means. You said graying of the hair indicates "involution." Has 1t any thing to do with the menopause? I am certainly grateful for sug- gestion you ma6e-calciun and vita min D for hot flashes. Not only have I obtained great relief from the hot flashes but my insomnia is gone too. (J. S0
 Answer-Involution means retro grade change, degeneration, early stage of senility or anility. Meno- pause or change of life" in wori- en is one manifestation of involu- tion. Craving of hair in men or women is another. Use of calcium for hot flashes described in pamrh- let "The meropause.' For copy send stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress. Use of iodine and anti-gray- hair vitamin for premature graying of hair is described in pamphlet Care of the Hair and Control of Dandruff." For copy send ten cents and stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Cleft Palate
 Please give your opinion as to the best time to perform the oper- ation for the correction of cleft palate. Our baby is six weeks old and has cleft palate.
 (Mrs. c. F. M.) <, Answer-The earlier operation for cleft palate or for harelip or both (they usually occur together) is done the better the cosmetic and functional result will be-. Best time for the operation is as soon as the baby is in good nutritional condi- tion and gaining.

CHICAGO, Sept. "A Federal

hearing arguments on whether the

require witnesses to testify before an
OPA examiner without benefit of
counsel or court reporter of their

In setting the date Judge John p.

the burden OF proof would rest on
the OPA and added:

that witnesses are not entitled to

had such authority, and termed
proceedings before an examiner
analogous to grand jury proceedings.
