Washington Life is Like This:
The charming wife of a young
government official holds down
an outside job SO she'll have
enough money to keep a maid.
Recently, the C. w. of the y. g. o.
wanted to throw a cocktail
party. But her maid asked to get
off early TO 60 home and take
care of her own children be-
cause the maids own hired girl,
who took care of the maids
children, was throwing a cock
tail party. Seems that the maid
was working as a maid so she
could afford to hire a girl to
take care of her own children.
Neatest nickname coined thus
far for Congresswoman Clare
Boothe Luce of Connecticut is,

Girl" Not that Mrs. Luce had
actually appeared in sweater,
but in her first three days in
Washington she appeared in a
different costume every day,
and people began to make book
on how long she could keep that

ALL-OUT FOR WAR

HAMDEN, Conn.-Every day
for a year and a half, Mrs. Cliff
ford Becker used to walk with

baby.
Tomorrow the routine will be
broken. The baby will be at a
nursery school. And Mrs. Beck
er will be a war worker - at

We must be on guard against

AMERICAN WHITE PAPER

The governments new best seller, "Peoce ond

estobshed-thot the Stote Department and its rep
resentotve in Tokyo Ambassador Joseph {. Grew,
we're not responsible for the roeedy at Pearl Horbor
This goes DOUBLE It applies in both of two woys

then, when the futiliy Of hoping for peoce became
clear, it did everything to delay the outbreak
Moreover, Secretary Hull and Ambassador Grew
did their utmost to warn everybody concerned that

treocherous Pearl Horbors unpreporedness wos not
for want Of ample specific warning.

military and naval leadership which effectively ienor-
ed all warnings and slept peacefully while the Jops
sneoked up to attack But that water over the DAM
Some day the public will be entitled to know the full
story Right ore much too busy to paw over
spilled milk SO that we can cry about it.
The same thing applies to the White Poper's clear
evidence on another point. President Roosevelt is
proved if further proof necessary to have recog
nized early and clearly that we could not keep out
of this wor will be for hstUrions to weigh the ust
fcotion for his frequent public utteronces to the
rOyi TOR the long OeIOy IN beginning 10 arm TOT t7e
inevitable conflict for the absence Of effective detail
ed plans.
When the time arrives to oPproise those things,
the White Paper will contribute materially.
For the present, "Peoce and War" is on intensely
interesting and valuable propaganda document be-
cause it demonstrates out Of the horses mouths how
we we're forced into war that none Of US from the
President down Wonted
The American people did not need that proof Nor
Is it meant for the American people, 1t is for the be-
fuddIed peoples Of the conquered nations, for the

House of Representatives, came
from the Republicans. AS minor

that Rayburn had been elected

eously broke out singing Hap

but didn't join in the singing.

Of only IL votes in that election,
issues before the new 18th Con-
gress will be decided by which
side of the House has the most
members present if the issue
divides on strict party lines
Usually, less than half Of the
congressman are in attendance
and on the floor at any one time
That will probably be changed
in this present session.
Inside story is that the Presi-
dents message to Congress was
toned down considerably be-
tween first and last drafts. Play
wright Robert Sherwood OF the
Office of War Information and
Judge Samuel Rosenman are
again supposed to have done
most of the ghosting. But orig
inal intentions to make II q
fighting speech got sidetracked
The result was a message that
while not rocking the world, al
least didn't set the boat of state
on fire, and was therefore smart
politically. New Dealers were
most disappointed, but are hop
ing now the hot stuff will come
along in later messages.
