the partner holds two four-card

LAUGHS AND SHUDDERS

of both in Good Night, Ladies,
by Van Siller Doubleday, Doran
g. Co.; So
Against the background of
present day Washington, with its
hungry-eyed government girls
and hordes of servicemen, the
action unfolds at a stimulating
pace. Apt references TO recent
news events help also 10 main
tain interest at a high level.
Characters are both amusing and
plausible.
A young Army officer, return
ing TO his apartment one eve-
ming, finds strange young girl
seemingly asleep in his fellow
officers bed. Only slightly per-
turbed, he retires for the night
until awakened by his room
mate, who has discovered the
young woman had actually been
murdered several hours previ-
ously. The web OF mystery, deft-
~ spun by the author, moves
along with an accelerated speed
from this point.
We might hint, however, that
this isn't the gilt you were seek
ing for your maiden aunt. UNI
less she's a lot more Sophisti-
Gated than ours. The witty and
realistic dialogue is more than
q little on the pungent side and
bathrooms, in their practical
sense, are mentioned above a
whisper.

brevity. enabling you to get a

The peoples OF the United Nations,
after victory has been won, must
stand united in "the performance of
the great tasks of peace" Secretary
Of State Hull declared last night in
a message to participants In a
United Nations discussion at. Con-
Stitution Hall. The message was
read by Francis B. Sayre, former
Governor General of the Philippines.
Pointing out that the nature of
the peace settlements concluded at
the end Of the war will depend on
the deep desires and underlying
conviction Of the great rank and file
of peoples which make up the
United Nations" Mr.. Hull said that
it was Of profound Importance that
each of the nations should under
stand the thoughts, purposes and
ideals of the others"
Our unity OF purpose, he said,
must be based on two unalterable
resolves: To destroy utterly the
forces of dictatorship, tyranny and
inhumanity as exampled today in
Germany and Italy and Japan; and
once that is accomplished, to press
forward with the task of building
human freedom and Christian
morality on firmer and broader
foundations than ever before"

TRIPOLI, Jan. % Delayed -
Seeing people liberated from virtual
bondage and watching their emo
tional outbursts form the most
graphic impressions we have of the
occupation of Tripoli.
Only a few hours ago British
troops and advance units of the
Royal Air Force rolled into this city
and the official surrender to Gen.
Sir Bernard L. Montgomery wrote
the last chapter in the fall of Mus
solini's African empire.
Touring the city. we visited Trip
Oils ancient ghetto, where some
$4,000 Jews were crowded into a
labyrinth of houses and cellars.
We walked through an arched
gate guarded by military police and
as soon as the people recognized us
as Americans the emotional out
burst was almost riotous.
Some threw themselves at our
feet, offering gifts of not only wine
and tobacco, but money as we'll,
Kissed by Men, Women, Children.
Men threw their arms about our
necks and kissed our cheeks. Wo-
men kissed our hands. Children
clung to our legs and kissed our
dusty shoes.
They showed us photographs of
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
ister Churchill with cries: Viva
America! Viva Inglisir"
They produced Skimpy loaves of
bread, less than inches long, the
ration for two persons a day
A husky young fellow suddenly
took Us by the arms and showed us
through the crowds into a courtyard
and down a flight of dark steps into
room where a white-robed patri-
arch sat at bare table.
A torrent of people crowded after
Us. hundreds clamoring for admit
tance until the doors were barred.
They told us that a few hours
before the troops entered the city
some leading Jewish merchants had
been dragged from their shops and
shot. but they expressed no surprise
st this because. they said, it was
the kind Of thing that had been
going on since the days when this
city was the seat of Mediterranean
piracy.
Our merchant told us that the
Italians were sharper in trade prac-
tice than the Germans.
$4,000 Italians in City.
The Turks. the Arabs, the Ger
manic vandals, the GenoeSe and
Florentines, the Maltese, Greeks
and Spaniards all tried TO Superim-
pose their influence and culture on
Tripolitania, and succeeded in a
measure.
But in this city of 100000 only
$4,000 are Italians, mostly newcom-
ers. There are $4,000 Jews and the
remainder are Arabs.
You simply cannot grasp the ef-
fects that this victory had on the
people until you try to wade through
