of the world as are all Nazi young folks. Then, all of a sudden you're captured during a British invasion of Norway to find that, instead of being a confirmed Nazi, you are the brother of a British airman!
 The inner turmoil in a juvenile breast at such a sudden trans formation is meat for the Den of Constance Savery in Enemy Brothers" (Longmans, Green s2.5O. How the big brother wins his younger one back to the san- 1ty of democracy, despite the in- bred Nazisms planted in the soul of the youth following his kid- naping at tender age Is a touch ing tale - and one that should be good reading for every member Of the Hitler loving Jungvolk.
 Good, old Brooklynesque folk. lore, with just touch of war and World War l at that - is wrapped up in a human story of the growth of a girl in the back country-tenement era of the land of the Dodgers.
 Betty Smiths "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" (Harpers: $2.5O) follows the career of Francie No- Ian through the gutters of old Brooklyn. In addition to battling her way through the hard school of the streets, she has the added handicap of a drunken Irish father but has the steadying influence of a God-fearing mother of Aus trian descent.
 Drink finally drove the father to his grave, leaving the burden of supporting three children on the mother. How Francie and her younger brother weathered the storm, how the children sacrificed to help and finally achieved suc- cess, is a bit of Horatio- Algeresoue but it's good example of pettish- ness, greed, racial hatred, hard ships and other evils that still exist there despite our lesson.

Prices, Prices!

One thing about the food ration, you hear it said, people will now become Acquainted with fresh vegetables. But will they at the high prices? Buying two or three vegetables runs in to money and when you add to the vegetables the other articles of food that make up meal one wonders how families of low Incomes are going to manage. Every time you go marketing if you buy tor several days-a small fortune is spent. And that is just on what you eat, and does not take into consideration the other necessities of life. There is strong tendency these days to consider that all persons are living under the new wage boom: getting large weekly pay checks ht the war industry factories. There are few left, however, who are continuing with their same jobs at the same low Income. Then aside from the family of small income there are those who have less than small income. It looks like difficult problem to solve - how one is to buy vegetables, eggs, meat, fuel, and 50 on.
 If prices are not brought down bit it looks like pretty tough going for many families. We do not care to visualize period of under-nourishment in this day and age, and in this country if it can be helped.

Income Limitation

Ordinarily the attacking irrelevant riders to important legislation, to force tho content of the riders past impend- Ing Presidential veto, must be condemned ns vicious. The rider which Representa- Live Disney of Oklahoma has tied to his bilI increasing the statutory debt limit Does not fall into this class because of ehe peculiar history of the Presidents R2S,0OO salary-limitation edict. Disney's rider would revoke the Presidents order, md would substitute for 1t a Congress nional decree limiting upper bracket sal- Aries to their pre-Pearl Harbor tops. This rider differs because it does not rep resent Congressional attempt to cir- the contrary, 1t is @ method of prevent ing the President from enacting as Cne-man law what Congress refused to hccept.
 or let's put 1t another way. It is an attempt to prevent one-third the rnen1- bership of a single house from enacting q law for which a majority could not be obtained. If the Disney repealer were passed separately and sent to the White House, 1t would be vetoed. There upon one-third vote in either house would sustain the veto. This would have the effect of validating an executive statute which could not have been put through Congress in the democratic manner. It would, in fact, permit the President and n3 Senators, for example, to pass law which - to take an extreme possibility
 was opposed violently by 6S Senators and ell 435 of the Representatives, not kO mention the public.
 This discussion has nothing to do with khe respective merits of the Roosevelt Approach to limitation and the Disney hpproach. It happens that we prefer the Eongressman's idea, of the two, though we lean to the theory that limitation Alapuld be through graduated income tax Gtlon rather than by fiat of anybody.
 The Presidents class appeal, contrast ing $5O0,00O a year with $50 month, leaves us cold. He would be more im- pressive if he were to name a single $500, ,000-a-year beneficiary, remembering that 1t is the net which counts and that half-million-do executive would pay HS26,280 income tax even at the current schedule, which will be exceeded next year.

Apartments on Approval

A New York builder has made unique proposal. He has a few unrented apart mentS, and this is off-SeaSon for moving in the metropolis. So he offers a years lease which the tenant can cancel with out penalty any month during the first six.
 This suggests to a reader that the Army might try out the same idea. En- liStments for the duration could be made cancellable at the end of any month through the first half year in case either the Army or the soldier is dissatisfied. The idea wouldn't work so well with the Navy, because the sailor might find him. self 5000 miles away by the time he de- cided to change jobs.

Some of the State Department boys, among them Assistant Sec- retary Adolf Berle, secretly agree.
 Best answer to this fear was ex- pressed inadvertently by Soviet Ambassador Litvinoff in talking with a prominent businessman from the middle west. Litvinoff asked him what people in that part of the country thought about Russia.
 'T'm going to be perfectly frank with yOu,' replied the mid-westerner. People in my part of the country admire the great fight Russia has made . against Germany and they have the highest praise of your army. But they fear the spread of communism after the war;"
 Ambassador Litvinoff replied thoughtfully that there was no ground for such fears, that all Russia wanted to do was to defeat the Axis as quickly as possible, then live in peace within her own boundaries.
 However, added LitvinOff, ''iR the fear of Russia in vest ern Europe really worries you, there Is one very easy way to dispose of it." / 'What is that?" asked the gen- tleman from the west.
 "The American and British armies should march into Berlin first"
 LABOR LEADER EXITV
 One of the AT and L big-shots, John Coyne, president of the pow erful Building Trades Depart ment, is about to get the axe.
 Coyne's Building Trades Depart- ment represents about 100000 organized workmen in the car- penters, plumbers, electrical work CTS and other AFL building trades unions. But he will be busted at the next meeting of the execu- tive council in May. He was voted a leave of absence after the last meeting in Miami, where some members didn't approve his be- havior.

Victory Masazine

Apparently an overenthusiastic indeol- ogist went overheard in the FDR profile in the Office of War Information's new magazine, Victory. Unfortunately Elmer Davis did not read 1t in advance. He now confesses without reservation that sit was indefensible," and promises that "the unfortunate incident" will not re- cur. Considering the sort of man MT. Davis is, we can accept his assurance that, if there are fourth term plans, he is no party to them and Victory is not to be vehicle for their promotion.
 The magazine itself is designed to drive off neutral magazine racks a German propaganda publication that does us no good. To beat the Nazis, we must do a better job, produce more attractive magazine, give the customers" what they want. If they want personalities, who in the United Nations has more ap- peal than the President?

Tire Examination

Criticisms of the OPA requirement for periodic tire inspection are answered by announcement that, in one large area, half of the spare tires sold to the govern ment were found good only for scrap.
 For the country as a whole, the OPA reports that 100000 passenger car tires have been rescued through regular in- Spections. A few more miles of driving would have ruined each beyond reclama- ton. Many tires were found to have flaws which, if undiscovered, would quick ly have developed into ruinous defects. Tires have ceased to be our purely personal headaches They have become national asset, if saved, or national liability, If waStAd

Without Fear or Favor

Conceding that over-zealous subor- uinates have made their errors, the De- Partment of Justice, thus far in World War II, has done exceedingly well at Keeping hysteria out of It's prosecutions. ahefaftitlide of the department is well summarized by Assistant Attorney Gen. eral Wendell Burge in the current issue 6l the American Bar Association Journal.
 Wltch-hunting, he says, can build a temporary reputation for a public off, olal7fn wartime, but "such q course of action Is ct least misguided patriotism, and may well amount to a perverslon of IAo essential features of democracy and MS iildlclai system, for the continuation MI which the war is being waged."

Again we take up, the question of mothers in war jobs. Helping out the war effort and taking advantage of help ing financially in the family is all well and good. No one can be blamed in go- ing for the good pNy while it lasts. But - there is the rub again. Mothers who have dependent children should steer clear of war jobs if it can be managed. Somehow or other they have been able to manage and have been helped through trying years. Some mothers can man. age the job and the home; there is some one else at home to look after the small children. But unfortunately most of us know that many small children are left to shift for themselves. Mothers should be war conscious, but also they should be home conscious.

 Nov Paul connects this grace with the growth and deepening of love. There appears never to have been any heresy in the Ethiopian church. but there was Q great deal of per- sonai misunderstanding. Paul does not exh0Tt the Philippians to greater tactfulnes; te prays that they may have a greater love.

justify it. Five dams were built in a gorge below a rock barrier that separated the Saguenay from the gorge, then sS.OOO pounds of dyna- mite were shot of in a single blast to clear away the barrier. Great impounding reservoirs were built above the power plant to assure an even flow of water. Thus in the heart of the widest region in northeastern America has been constructed in a little more than a year a power plant with as great output as that of Niagara Falls. paid for without floating Q share of stock or issuing a bond of any kind.

woman Clare Booth Luce delivered her maiden speech banning the British on future air routes, her text was carefully blue pencilled by the State Department. They did not object to criticism of the British, figuring that hand-across- the-sea policy was strong enough to take 1t. But they did cross out some of Clare's caustic words about Russia not giving us more cooperation on airplane routes. Staunch Roosevelt-rooter Tom Berry, Governor of South Dakota, has been appointed to the Farm Credit Administration de- spite the vigorous objection of Farm Credit Boss A. c. Black. It was White House adviser Eu- gene Casey, an increasing power in Democratic Farm politics, who put him across. Thomas Jeff ferson once predicted that the fleets and the United States would ride together as brothers. Now that this has happened, the Rock efeller Committee is working on Q movie featuring Jeffersor1's pro- phecy.
 SECRET RUML PLAN VOTE
 The vote of the House Ways and Means Committee on the Ruml Plan was secret, but inside fact is 1t never had chance of get- ting more than five votes
 The flood of mall reaching com mittee. members, at first favor able, turned round and showed conclusively that the country was against outright postponennent of taxes. Underlying sentiment ex- pressed in the mall was that al- though high taxes hurt, 1t was un- fair to postpone. too much of the war cost to the next generation.
 Also the Committee be-
 came more convinced that the
 Ruml plan was largely cooked
 up for the benefit of top, bracket
 incomes and if taxes were for
 given one year. 1t would mean
 shlrting a much greater burden
 to lower income groups to make
 up the deficit.
 This, they concluded, was just what MT. Ruml's war wealthy cli- ents wanted.
 LITTLE AID TO CHINA

planes, landing in COW pastures and conserving fuel.
 As far as General Arnold is con- cerned he would like to send the Chinese a lot more planes-though in the past he has not been too keen about 1t. Incidentally, one reason for sending him to China was over the Chinese cause.)
 However, despite Madame Chi- ang Kai-shek's graceful appear ance here, despite Hap Arnold's enthusiasm, despite the Presidents public statements, China is not go- to get anything much in the way of supplies.
 Reasons are (1) the impossibil- ity of opening the Burma road now with the inbnsoon season only a few weeks off; (2) the absolute necessity of cleaning up Africa and preparing for Q drive against Hitler in Europe; (S) Chinese political dissension which requires too many arms for per- sonal armies.
 Some war weapons will be flown over the Himalayas, but not much more than in the past.
 CURE FOR TYPHUS
 By way of London has come word that the Germans have evolved O. cure for the dread dis ease typhus. If so, 1t is a dis- covery meaning the lives of thou- sands of men in the eastern front.

Imports are gradually becoming minus quantities. We hardly miss the deli cacies because we are producing pretty good crop on the home front. Whats wrong with cheese from Wisconsin, en- dive from California, and sardines from Maine? The state of Maine in the sar- dine area is coming into it's own again. A few weeks ago the Saturday Evening Post featured the Sardine haul down in Maine with colorful pictures and it was the first time some folks realized Sardines grew, or should we say swam, in New England coast waters.

Has MT. OPA asked Mrs. OPA recently what she thinks about the sliced bread ban? We aren't so much interested in the matter of inconvenience, which is unimportant in war time, but rather in economy.
 With sliced bread, the end of the waxed paper wrapper could be opened, slices ex- tracted and the end folded over. Now the whole loaf has to be unwrapped and taken out for slicing Except in large family, consuming much bread, the waste from excessive drying is considerable.

(HafCkOfQ 1ImeS)
 Construction of the Shipshaw power development on the upper Saguenay River in remote regions of the Province of Quebec deserves all the adjectives that have been applied to 1t. Like the building of the Alaskan Highway, the Shipshaw project challenged the engineering skill of man, and also his ability to endure and work in savage weather. With the temperature 30 degrees below zero. the sites Of the dams and powerhouses so far from ordinary means of transportation that every thing = men, horses, machinery, cement. steel-had to be flown into the wilderness, the work went on steadily until now a power plant second only to Boulder Dam is near- ing completion. Some l.200, 900 horsepower of electric energy will be produced by next November. With other power developments in quebec, all tied together, the now project makes available 2O40.O 600 horsepower. tustifying the statement that the province is the largest poWer-pgodueing area in the world.
