Dancing is the best way to Keep
your legs in trim, says Betty

made her one of the most popular
pin-up girls of service men from
here to China. y
But for those who haven't time
to dance" she suggests try walk

can" Much of the trouble with
unshapely legs is lack Of exercise,

whole story CT row TO have lovely
legs. Good circulation is impor-
tant. too. Betty insists and recon-
mends that you wear comfortable
shoes so that circulation is not cut
off in pinchcd toes and crowded
arches.
Another tip to shapellnesS Whlch
she passes along is to massage your
toes. ankles, calves and thighs every
night before retiring. Start at the
toes and work the tiredness out
with both palms flat against the
ankles. massage gently at least 40
times. Above the ankle, use brisk
up and down movement that will

GIVING DOUGHBOYS THEIR DUE

The infantry soldier has been pretty
much the forgotten man of this war. The
flyer has captured the public magma
ton. Most of the young volunteers wish
to pilot fighter or ride bomber. All
of which is not to deride the flyers hero
ism. or the magnificent job they are do
ing But the infantryman is in there
pitching, too. He's the man who eats
dust and slogs through mud and rain,
mile after mile till he's ready to drop.
And he is the man who will one day fight
his way through to the streets Of Berlin
and Tokyo.
SO it is good to know that Secretary of
War Stimson has authorized two distinc-
tive recognitions, the Expert Infantry
man and Combat Infantryman badges, to

WARNING TO CENSORS
Sacramento Bee)


The war department. has asked anyone
receiving mail which has passed through
censOr's hands and to which he has
added eXtraneous comments of his own,
witty or otherwise, to send the letter to
the adjutant generals office so the of
fender can be identified and his case
considered for disciplinary action.
The statement declares censorship of
mail is necessity in wartime to pre-
vent the disclosure of information which
might be of assistance to the enemy, but
the war department never has intended
that the privacy of the mail should be
invaded beyond this absolute necessity
for security"
With that definition of the wartime
scrutiny Of private correspondence the
writer's Of the letters and the recipients
Of them will agree heartily.
It is annoying enough to have CORE
spOndence submitted to third party
without having appended thereto some
flippancy charged to the censor's pen.
And whether the censor merely does it to
relieve the monotony of an uninterasting
job or not. he should remain anonymous.
Censuring those few censors who take
unWarranted liberties should do much
to halt the practice.

THREAT OF SOCIALIzED
MEDICINE
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat)

(St Louis Globe-Democrat)
The Wagner-Murray bill to broaden
the social security act was introduced III
the Senate last June. 1t is known as Bill
1161. Among its numerous proposals
to regulate us from the cradle to the
grave, in accord with the recommended
tions of the National Resources Planning
Boards American Beveridge Plan is
the particularly insidious one that would
abolish private medical practice and
turn the medical profession over to the
government
If the surgeon general is made die
tator in fact in matters concerned with
national health, it is obvious that the
initiative which has made the medical
profession outstanding will be destroyed.
When American doctors are made sub
servient to political considerations
what is left except hack service?
The medical profession should be sup
ported in its fight to thwart the con-
sidered move to make it a slave to a
specialization scheme that maSQueradeS

Cambridge (Wash.) Review
Harold Stewart recently sent post
card to his editor friends wondering why
there has not been an "uproar of con-
demnation" over the fact that some SOL
diers, answering an emergency call from
food canning factories in New Jersey,
were compelled to pay union dues before
they could help.
Are we becoming a nation of sheep?"
Mr. Stewart wants to know. Our nation
al leaders are addressing to the world
highsounding phrases about the four
freedoms, non-aggression and anti-ap-
peasement, and yet are apparently crawl
ing into their holes in craven silence and
in face of this outrageous practice in our
own back yard
Those are strong words, but The Re-
view joins heartily with them Further
more, we know that there isn't an hon
est union member who isn't just as in
dignant. 1t is only the union racketeer
who would be so stupid as to force help
full soldier into paying union dues in a
set of circumstances as in the New Jer

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

Il felt so sorry for the young
soldier" a housewife with an apart
ment to rent said.
He wanted my apartment SO
that he could bring his wife on
here. He says she is living all
alone in room in another city,
and she is expecting baby in a
few months"
But the landlady who felt so
sorry" turned the young soldier
way. She decided it would be less
trouble to rcnt the partment to a
couple of men. They would be
away clcm non. all day, and
wouldn't re any tlouble."
There are lots of people who feel
just about that sorry for the
couples whom the war has sep
arated. They feel sorry enough to
talk about how touched they are
but not sorry enough to incon-
venience themselves in the slightest
to help young folks out.
They aren't all landlords, either.
They are the travellers who will let
a young wife with baby stand or
sit in an aisle instead of giving her
a comfortable seat. They case their
consciences by saying, women
haven't any right to travel with
babies in times like these" They
wouldn't be travelling in normal
times They wouldn't have to be
travelling clear across the country
in order to be with their men, if
there weren't a war going on.
And there are the people in
towns "over-run" by the Army or
Navy who take a superior attitude
toward the families of service men.
The people who look on Army or
Navy people as transients - not
worth bothering about.
There are many people who feel
sorry for those who are being hard
hit by the war. But so many OF
them arc satisfied to Go nothing
but feel noble. because they feel

Here's Story Of
Far North Rescue

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. (UP)-A
story of rescue in the frozen north
by a U. S. army plane piloted by
Captain William H. Corwin of Long
Beach, Cal, war department.
Four Canadians, including a con-
stable of the Royal Mounted Police,
two Hudson's Bay company officials
and the wife of one of them, were
marooned with so eskimos 400 miles
north of the Arctic circle at Fort
Ross, Canada.
Ice choking the sea prevented the
Hudson's Bay company from send
ing the colony any food and sup
plies last year, and again this year.
The U. S. army air force sent a
CAT skytrain, equipped with extra
fuel tanks, snow and ice tires, and
skis for landing on ice.
After an unsuccessful attempt to
reach Fort Ross on Nov. l, the plane
flew over on Nov 4 and dropped
1000 pounds of supplies. An officer,
who landed by parachute, reported
by radio that the ice would hold,
and marked out runway with coal
bags.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

Today we know that the war which
ended % years ago is still going on. We
can see more clearly than ever, in the
perspective that quarter century lends,
that the armistice of Nov. II, 1918, was
just that We can fit together the various
eruptions - boundary disputes, revolu-
ton, aggression, civil war-that disturb
ed the uneasy surface of that armistice
until, four years ago, the war broke out
again with renewed ferocity.
Seen in this perspective, all the tears,
the profound relief, the hysterical JOY,
the prayerful Thanksgiving of Nov. II.
1918, may seem a little pathetic But
they were sincere and admirable then.
We went to war in 1917 on a wave of
idealism. We fought for slogans and
believed in them: war to end war and
a world safe for democracy. The ideal
ism was more than public emotion. 1t
was the policy of our government. Ideal
ism moved president to try to persuade
us into the League of Nations. We did
not follow, and the League went on with
out us-accomplishing many things, fail
ing utterly in the crises.
But we tried to do our best for world
peace. We were generous and SOlicltous.
We were kind to our enemies. We were
patient with our recent Allies when they
called us Uncle Shylock. We called dis
armament conferences, and proposed
plans outside the League for enduring
peace.
This country and its former Allies
condemned war as an international poll
cy. The world had learned its lesson in
1914-1S it knew that war was brutal and
unthinkable. France sat behind her
mountains and her Maginot Line and
England sat behind her Channel, loath-
ing war so much that they would not
look while Germany and Italy prepared
for it at home, and rehearSed it in>Ethio
pia and Spain We sat between our
oceans, thinking that if we hated war
hard enough, it would not come.
The next Armistice Day will not find
US in a 1918 mood. Perhaps we shall
certainly be less emotional. The Amer
ican mind today is cynical, compared with
that of 25 years ago And that is all to
the good Next Armistice Day we shall
know that the present conflict was only
dreadful, bloody, devastating preimi-
nary to another attempt to build Struc-
ture of enduring peace.
We are beginning now, with greater
realism and greater wisdom, to draw
plans for that structure. This time we
know that peace cannot be placed within
a shrine, but must be guarded by stout
fortress. 1t must be built to withstand
the problems and differences that will
strain the present alliance of fighting
nations. We know, all of US, that the end
of the shooting and bombing will not
mean the return of tranquility. Already
old quarrels and new disputes are break
ing above the surface of the general sea
of troubles. And they will not grow less
intense when the fighting stops.
Today we possess the knowledge, pain
fully acquired, of % years short-sighted-
ness and mistakes 1t is bitter knowl-
edge But because we have it, it may be
that 25 years after the next Armistice
DaN we shall have done q hettar lob

now the same words will be spoken
and written about World War II
debts. When it's all done, we Will
not have been paid, and the reason
will boil down TO this:
Our debtors can't pay in money
because there isn't that much
money. They can't pay in goods,
because we can't take that much OF
goods without wrecking our own
economy. They could pay, partially

That is too bad, because we doubt
if even the President, phrase
maker of consummate skill, could
have improved upon the statement
he now repudiates. He could have
elaborated, explained, justified. But
he couldn't have made 1t say so
much that is true with any greater
clarity.
In his apology, MI. Roosevelt
SAYS that, while we may not collect
coin that jingles, he expects our
debtors to come through with such
repayment as they possibly can.
That means nothing at all. We
all expect our creditors to pay, so
far as they can. Our creditors eX-
pect, and probably are quite willing
70 pay,np SO far as they can. The
trouble is that for practical pur-
poses they cannot pay in any coin
that we can accept with one pos
sible exception. Some of them could
pay with territory. But 20 we want

Parliamentary Crisis
Reported in Hungary
Over Course Of War
BY the Associated Press.

bS tne associated PreSS.
BERN, Switzerland, Sept. 18.-
Hungary, caught between increased
pressure from Germany for addi-
tional war manpower and a desire
for peace, was reported in the throes
of an intense political and parlia-
mentary crisis today.
The Budapest correspondent Of
the Gazette de Lausanne said mill
tary decisions vital to Hungary had
become burning actuality" and
that secret moves, made in conjunc-
tion with Berlin, could cause i'm
portant changes in the future Of the
nervous Axis satellite.
There has been strong official
attempt to curb growing tendency
for withdrawing from the war.
Additional arrests of leaders of
the Hungarian Peace Party" for
their "pacifist attitude and for
spreading alarming rumors" have
been officially announced, according
to the correspondent.
A Budapest dispatch to La Suisse
de Geneve said "the profound i'm
preston of public opinion by events
in Italy is far from calming" and
asserted that the Hungarian cabi-
net remains confused"
La Suisse said important conver-
sations" were in progress between
Hungary and her Allies on the uues-
ton OF fresh Hungarian divisions
being sent to the battlefront. Ger
many's energetic action in Italy has
induced responsible Hungarians to
proceed more prudently," the news
paper added.

Good-Neighbor Policy
May Guide Congress
On Postwar PLANNING
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's suggestion
that the good -neighbor policy be ex-
tended to the rest of the world as
peace insurance furnished a gen.
orally sympathetic Congress today
with a guide for action on it's own
postwar foreign policy resolutions.
The Fulbright resolution putting
Congress on record as favoring
United States membership in inter
national machinery with adequate
power to prevent aggression will be
considered in the House Monday un-
der procedure barring amendments
and requiring a two-thirds vote to
pass. A small group seeking to
qualify the resolution will contest
the method of consideration.
Senate action is expected later on
similar proposal to be written by
Foreign Relations Subcommittee
which probably will provide for the
use OF force in any international Or
ganization created to block incipient
Warmakers.
Readiness to utilize force has been
advocated by Secretary of State Hull
and Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
While the word force" has no place
In the inter-American system OF
