Of all things! The tailor whose dog I wrote about the other day got a summons from a cop on the beat For allegedly having the dog beg coins which he didn't do, at all. The stupid policeman had to find something to do'-with all the criminals loose in the same sector. . He also got sassy with the poor man |. . I've sent the tailor's un- happy letter to the Mayor, and I hope he isn't too busy to do some thing about it |. Things that ac- tually make me laugh out loud while reading newspaper: That John L. Lewis isn't to blame for all the re- cent trouble in the mine dispute that FDR and his crowd are the real guilty, etc. What makes it funnier is that when one of the anti-Roosevelt sheets starts the theme all the others join in the chorus two days later That's why you can get rich in this world. There are so many in it who do the same act-that when anybody comes along with just little differ ent idea he cleans up.
 Among other things that didn't surprise me was discovering that the June 4th issue of Hitler'S own news paper, the Volkischer Beobachter, gave editorial orchids to John l.. Lewis Well, he sure deserves them The other column con- tained paragraph about "one of those" outfits in Chicago which gets it's luStiest applause from Bund members and people like them. Now hear that Sen. Wheeler and other legislators will make speeches be- fore that group Why don't Wheeler and his colleagues investi- gate an outfit before they agree to be their guest speakers? Wheeler knows why. Hmf . How wonderful . mean the ingenuity that keeps the underground press alive In an attempt to stop their work Gin a Norwegian town) the Gestapo kept close check on all printers ink But the under ground gazettes were published any, how . How clever By using black shoe polish!
 The issue of Time that came out a week ago contains this face-red- dener! That it won't be easy to take Pantelleria and the islands around it Which should convince some people how risky it is to offer pre- dictions about military matters. But it won't .. I know there are lot of faults to be found in Washing ton. But when a man does a good job there he never gets the head lines that the trouble makers rate If most people there weren't doing a good job we wouldn't be winning the war . This is the way Lend-Lease works. Remember it the next time you hear propa- ganda alleging it is ruIning Amer ica . . We give an ally a plane or gun . To help fight our com mon enemies For every gun, tank or plane we give our allies they give human being . Push that one in the faces of the arguers.
 Newscaster Fulton Lewis, Jr., who attacked the Freedoms, now al- leges that the stories about enemy atrocities are propaganda. Such as Pearl Harbor and the execution of American flyers in Japan, the horror of Lidice and Rotterdam and so on. The Axis has admitted them! ,. What has happened to all the LeWiSes, anyway? The sniperS are desperate for ammunition. One editorialist blamed the New Deal for the floods in the Midwest |. Another groaned that we are not having enough pleasure in our war There's a new one. A war with a floor show! Those who are frowning at Romeo Chaplin for "robbinc the cradle''-probably weep and thrill over Shakespeare's great est love-story heroine-Juliet, who was l4.
