TALENTED TOM MARTIN

We'd been told by his friends in the AVS that Soldier Tom Mar tin did excellent sketches. So when we asked Tom to give us an eve hing drawing the portraits of some of the fellows and girls at the club house, we were sure we could count 1n first-rate results, Even at that however, the work he did last Fri jay was surprisingly fine. Especi- illy successful was his pencil DOT rait of Mary Mccormack, our new est and handsomest. Staff mem- per. Come in and compare for 5ourself the sketch with the sub ject, both of which when last seen were adding much to the charm )f the USO lobby Get it be under stood, however, that this column ioes not guarantee the continuing presence of said picture in said spot even as we rush to press rankly admitting our substantially n-existent faith in G.I resis-
 afice to temptation when tempta-
 ion presents itself in the chance feloniously to acquire someone slse's picture of feminine loveh- aess.) Tom is from Paducah, Ky. and he studied art at Murray State College. He's promised to give Us another evening of sketching at the Club in the near future.

 Griffith won't come out and say that he's coining money, but he doesn't deny it. Griffith opposed the idea of night baseball for years but finally relented two years ago ' and agreed on limited number of games under lights. Now he's the most outspoken packer of nocturnal baseball in the majors. He asked for, and won, permission several weeks ago to play all games, except Sunday contests, at night. The clinking turnstiles probably changed his viewpoint.

BIRTHDAY PARTY

Were you born. in August? Now don't be alarmed-this column is not turning into a horoscope and we're not claiming to be able to tell you the answers to your Heart and Home problems. No, we are simply inviting you to the first of .ne Clubs Birthday Parties if you are a Serviceman or GSO girl with a birthday anytime during August. The party will be given in he Clubhouse on Friday night of
 his week at 9:30 o'clock. It is planned to have a similar celebra- ion once each month for all the fellows and girls whose birthdays fall within the month then cur- ,ent. Incidentally, the card on which those born in August have ,egistered carries the names of 9 5ervicemen and only one girl. This percentage appears to belle the figures we seem to recall seeing somewhere, sometime that statistics showed that eight and six-sevenths girl babies are born in the United States for every five and three sourths boy babies born, or maybe 1t was just the reverse-or maybe It didn't apply to the month of August, or something, Anyway, whatever that percentage, h e chances of your having fine time 1t our party oh Friday are 100 percent, we hope.

Coast Guards man Ray Hansen won second prize, and Soldier J. A. O'Brien was third, neither being far behind the winner. Tn the Clubs three latest guessing contests beans have been the subject. We're trying to think up something more original for the next one; and we want it to be tough. Have you any sugges- tions?

PING PONG FINALS

On next Friday night a treat is in store for all who like excellent ping pong. Preceding the Birthday Party above referred to, the finals of the mems tournament will be played in the USO lobby. A table will be moved over from the game room and this championship match will be staged in appropriate style. Although for various reasons the tournament has moved along very leisurely to date, seeming to have been staged exclusively in slow motion, we are certain you'll get no impression of anything slow about this final match. The two contestants are really good. They are Soldiers Eddie Dosek, fir m
 Lincoln, Nebraska, and Ben Plot kin, hailing from Detroit, Mich. Their styles of play are quite un- Ike; and this fact should make ] the match particularly interesting l to watch. The winner will richly merit the title of Club champion.

ALASKA'S FORESTS WAIT

For foolish remarks, nominate for top
honors the suggestion of Chairman Lyle H. Boren of
the House subcommittee which recently spent some
time investigating Canadian newsprint mills as part
Of the investigation of the paper shortage.
Chairman Boren is quoted saying that paper

Likewise, we classify the remark of Rep. Wolyer

supplies are forthcoming from Canada newspapers
in the United States, like the rubber industry may
have substitutes and thereby severely interfere
with the future of the Canadian pulpwood industry
One would think that before such remarks
tossed out these gentlemen would start looking around
where good pupwood could be found if that is
the case as Boren intimates.

FDR's DILEMMA

Some of the turmoil regarding
Sumner Welles and the appointment
of a new Undersecretary of State
can now be explained by the fol-
lowing events inside the White
House.
When Secretary Hull stayed be-
hind after a cabinet meeting in
mid August and lengthily told the
President that either he or Welles
must go, the President Immediately
sent for Welles and broke the news.
This, he said, was one of the tough
est things he had had to do in his
entire life. But he urged that
Welles go to Russia with Anthony
Eden to do some long needed patch
ing up with Molotoff and Stain.
Welles, terribly upset by this abb
rupt dismissal, was unable to give
the President a definite answer. He
resigned Immediately, but was in
ciined to feel that. anything he did
in Russia would be undercut by
Secretary Hull, partly because of
Hulls dislike of Welles. partly be-
cause of his lack of enthusiasm for
Russia.
Secretary Hull. however, assured
the President he would be delighted
to have his former Undersecretary
of State undertake the Russian mis-
sion.

Australias Election: A FOrerunner of 1914?

The resounding victory for Australias Labor
Government of Prime Minister Curtin in the recent
election is worth careful study in America.
The results show you can't fool the people down

There are remarkable parallels in the campaign
waged against Curtin by his opposition-the United
Australian party and the Country party--and the
attacks the Administration by Roosevelt haters in
this country.
Just like the Mccormick Patterson press and the
ultra conservatives in this country the Australian
opposition charged the Curtin Government with:
l. Regimenting the public.
3 Governing by regulations without sane
ton of Parliament.
g. Communist control or influence.
a. Government by bureaucracy.
s. Using the war to promote Socialistic
g. Bungling interference with produc-
ton and resulting shortages.
The voters listened to Curtin, and not to the
Curtin haters.
They refused too, to listen to the Australian John

Nevertheless there is a shortage of paper at
present. Certainly, before Congress launches any

More recently, therefore, Hull has
indicated that he, not Welles, is the

That is the dilemma in which the
President finds himself.
Personally the President has felt
that the younger, more vigorous
