BRANDY In SCHOOL,

BERKELEY. Cal.-UP-A new
problem in psychology has just
been posed to psychological experts
at the University OF California. It
is the problem OF why a man should
steal a textbook on psychology and

have not had much experie9ce with
brandy, little progress is being
made towards finding the reason.
The theft occurred recently at the

Gas Situation Resented.
aside from the conduct of the
war itself and the anxiety to hear
from members of their families in
the armed services, principal topics
of conversation around here right
now are these:
Gasoline rationing. If refineries
out here were running to capacity
which they are not; if the OPA had
granted Ickes' recommendation for
higher prices for crude-which OPA
has not; II the people here felt that
gasoline allowances were to be
equalized to supply the armed forces
instead of to pacify voters along the
Atlantic seaboard. I believe there
would not be the resentment out
here against proposed reduction of
gasoline allowances in the Midwest.
The mid-continent is laid out
horizontally, not vertically Homes

along Main street; not just around
the corner from store as in East

side the bigger cities, are measured

ton systems have not been allowed

the Democrats nominate a
candidate satisfactory to the
laborites, the ALP then will

Gratis the man they shall nomi-
nate, there may be plenty of

still insist that they do not
intend to allow the ALP tail to

Gov. Dewey is strong in the
state, stronger probably than he
was when he was elected last
year. His administration has
been good. Further, there are
increasing signs that the Repub-
icans in many other States
are looking to him for leader
ship in the Presidential race next
year.
Defeat May Affect Dewey.
There is, of course, the pos
sibility that If the Democrats
win the election for a Lieutenant
Governor in November, it will be
considered black eye for Mr..
Dewey-and that his desirable
ity as a Presidential nominee will
fall OF.
This special election of a New
York Lieutenant Governor may
be just one of those unexpected
events on which much larger
things sometimes turn in the
world of politics.
The issues involved in the ma
tional elections in 1914 frequently
are forgotten in the discussion
OF personalities. Yet the issues
are tremendous. Perpetuity in
cflce is one. The country took
the overthrow of the thrid-term
tradition lightly enough after
Mr.. Roosevelt's reelection in 1910.
A fourth term looms now GER
tainly as a possibility If not a
probability.
Twenty-Five years ago Amer
leans would have ridiculed the
idea that any man would be
kept in the White House for l6
consecutive years. If it hap
pens, the country may be well
on the way to a one-party gov
ernment-with Federal ONCE
holders so numerous and so well
entrenched that it will require
almost a revolution to shake
them loose. The rotation of DO
htical parties in ONCE has kept
this country on the forward
march. Without it|many Of the
freedoms Of the people may be
curtailed or even wiped out In
the future.

those who think we ought to turn
a few.
We are for almost any device
that avoids decision. I am quite
sure that in our friendly approaches
to the King OF Italy, we had no de-
sire to be reactionary. or pro-mon-
archist. or anti-repubhcan. or to
give a helping hand to the gray
little brothers of Fascism.
No, 1t seemed to us that in deal
ing with the King, we could deal
with Italy without making up our
minds about Italy. We could con-
tinue our hopeful program, which
calls for progress without policy.
Mr.. Hull has said that he wants
to keep politics out Of the war. I
am sure ne believes it can be done.
The difficulty is that every other
nation and leader is playing politics,
including the King OF Italy. Our
non-political approach to the King
turned out to be a weeks reprieve
for the Germans in Italy, which
was very political, indeed.
But If We had been unalterably
IN favor of an Italian republic,
there would have been no such
weeks reprieve for the Germans,
permitting them to build a defense
line at the Po without interruption
BY our bombers. Mr.. Hull's nom
political approach to the war turned
out to be filled with both political
and military significance. How can
any one say that politics can be kept
out OF the war. when, because of
the particular attitude which we
entertained toward the King of
Italy, our bombers were held back.

whereas II our attitude had been
different. they would not have been
held back?
We have also felt that we could
have ga non-political attitude to-
ward the new French Committee,
delaying our recognition while as
suring the committee we were doing
so without prejudice, and with entire
good will.
But the long delay depressed every
exiled government In London. We
feared that to recognize the French
Committee might be a political act,
a choosing Of sides in regard to the
new France. 1t has seemed to the
exiled governments that not to rec
ognize also was a political act; to
withhold recognition is to assert
the right to withhold recognition,
the right to choose against; and
that is just as much a political act
as to choose for.
In point of fact, the delay itself
actually has been a political act,
asserting our right to delay, to keep
a new government in an ambiguous
state, halfway between the living
and the dead.
Finally, still pursuing the goal
OF progress without policy, we have
set up system of non-political
military government for occupied
territory, such as is functioning,
and no doubt efficiently and fairly,
In Sicily.
But 1t turns out the exiled gov
ernments especially the Czecho-
slovak consider it a highly political
act for liberated territory to. be ruled
by however non-political a military
government that is not their own
government.
The flight from politics is flight
from decisions. a fight from reality.
There are no ice-boxes for govern
ment, in which sovereignty can be
preserved without being used. And
however decent and fair we feel,
deep In our own hearts, about our
refusal to make decisions, those
about whom we refuse to make de-
cisions feel decided against.
Because we did not feel like de-
Gliding in favor of an Italian re-
public, We did not keep anything
from happening; we got a Badoglio.
If we lack policy, the policies of
others will leap into the empty space
thus provided. To bid the world sit
still makes one think of the ancient
king who addressed a somewhat
similar message to the restless
waves.

Break in Big Inch Spills

In respect to the spectacular
side of the battles in the Medi-
terranean and the West Pacific,
have made unsung heroes Of the
men who have conquered the
U-boats.
Our strategists believe the i'm
portance Of their victory over
shadows the successes Of the AL
lies on the other fronts. When the
war Is over and the veil of Sc
crecy can be discarded, the world
will learn Of one Of the greatest
epics Of the conflict.
Had Two Potent Weapons.
When the Axis leaders threw
the world into this Second World
War they had two extraordi-
narily mighty weapons. One
was the Luftwaffe, at that
time the most powerful and
efficient weapon in the world.
Reichsmarshal Goering was GER
tain that Europe, including Eng
land, would be conquered by the
Nazi ground forces, assisted by
the air arm. But even when this
failed he boasted that q single
Allied plane never would harm
the Reich. The German air
force would see to that. He proved
. false prophet.
Less spectacular but far more
important from the day we en-
tered the war, were the subma-
rines. German naval chiefs per-
suaded the high command that.
regardless Of the number Of men
we might be able to mobilize or
what our factories might produce,
ships carrying them across the
Atlantic never would reach their
destination.
Germany. the Reich's admirals
said, was In q far better position
than In 1916-191s, when 1t then
had fewer submarines-an low
speed vessels with inadequate
ordnance. Not more than 80 were
on station In the Atlantic and the
Mediterranean.
The submarine campaign had
been planned by the Nazis since
1886. Entirely new models had
been designed. When we entered
the war the Nazis were able to
send into the Atlantic no fewer
than 100 U-boats with q surface
speed Of 22 knots and armed with
5-inch guns. These were 50 for

relaxation until 1t is won.
Generally speaking, Maine citi-
zens feel that the military officials
should run the war without inter-
ference. that although we should be
thinking about postwar planning
and national politics. the war must
be won first. and that there should
be no delays because of 1914 elec-
tions.
There is a good deal of confu-
sion because of changing decisions
by Washington officials. If agencies

point out that II the OPA continues
to try to lower cattle and hog prices,
while concentrates. corn and other
feeds either go up in price or are not
obtainable. they will be forced to cut
down on the number Of animals.
Rightly or wrongly, this country
has come to believe that Harry Hop
kins and his group behind the scenes
pull the strings to which Justice
Byrnes, Judge Vinson, Judge Jones,
and Senator Brown dance. And they
don't like it.
Outside Of strictly labor circles,
the action of Congress in passing the
Smith -Connally act over the Presi-
dents veto is highly applauded. Pub
lie sentiment is that neither White
House or Congress has shown either
courage or craftsmanship in dealing
with labor.
Public expenditures and rising
public debt are causes OF deep worry
IN the Mid-Continent. Farmers and
small business men still regard a
debt as something that has to be
paid sometime. This part of the
country has not grasped the concep-
ton that the national debt is not
really debt. but rather the basis of
national credit. So they figure that
public debt of 800 billions-looking
ahead few months, you see-is the
equivalent of a debt of $1,000 per
person In the United States. And the
head Of family of four is worried
over his owing $4,000 through the
Federal Government.
Worry Over Postwar Expenditures.
They think taxes are as high
as they can stand; at the same
time they think that higher taxes
are necessary to meet Government
expenditures Of more than 100 bill
