 MARINE MAVERICK
 Maury Maverick, the fighting Texan, has Waged lot of battles in his life, including one att he Argonne in 1SS3 when part of his shoulder was shot away and he was decorated for gallantry. But one battle he still fights is that of the 1st division vs the U. s. Marines.
 Maury was first lieutenant in the 28th infantry in the Ar gonne, and he says with Texas poetic license):
 "The P. s. Army had a mill lion men fighting in France. The Marines had about 5000. But to hear a Marine talk you would think they did all the fighting and won the war"
 Life has become especially tough in the Maverick household in this war, because Maury Nav erick, Jr., has become a Marine. Writing back from the Solomon Islands recently, young Maverick boasted to his father:
 "I'm a first lieutenant now, Dad, and I outrank you. You were first lieutenant, but you were only in the Army. I'm a Marine!"
 WAR LIBERTY LEAGUE
 Officials here are crediting AL fred P. Sloan, chairman of Gen. eral Motors, with reviving the old Liberty League under another name. He has just sent round- robbin letter to a large number of businessmen-including some of his own automobile dealers urging that they raise a fund of $1,30OO00 to be spent for educa- ting the American public on the problems of il'lustry".
 Since this fund is for 1943 alone, and since $1,3O0,0OO is no small amount to spend on prop aganda in one year, Adminis- tration leaders draw the na- tural deduction that it is chief ly another Liberty League war chest aimed at the New Deal.
 Joining Sloan in this appeal are other one-time Liberty Leaguers and anti-RooSevelt men, includ- ing: J. Howard Pew, of Sun Oil, one of the COP bosses of Penn sylvania; Colby Chester, chair man of General Foods; Ernest Weir, chairman of National Steel; A. w. Flames, president of the California Packing Corporation; and James s. Adams, president of Standard Brands. They operate under the new name of "National Industrial Information Commit tee."
 After attacking "the truly de- .plorable performance of Govern .ment bureaucracy" and prais- ing "the truly magnificent per- formance of American industry" Sloan, in his letter, proposes a propaganda campaign to educate the public on the problems of industry.
 we must not be too gen. eral," Sloan cautions. "We must
 not be too specific. But we must get across as effectively as we can our story do hope you will see fit to send me a subscription representing your company's prOpOrtiOnate share of our 1943 goal of $1,300, ,OO0." AMBASSADORIAL
 SUPPRESSION
 Spanish Ambassador Juan Car denas has now out-distanced Mussolini's former puppet Ambas- sador de Martino in trying to suppress American freedom of speech and press. Martino per- suaded Herbert Hoover to court martial Gen. Smedley Butler for telling how Mussolini ran over a child without turning back though later the court-martial backfired and Hoover dropped it like hot potato.
 Franco's Ambassador Cardenas. however, has now distinguished himself by trying to suppress the movie For Whom the Bell Tolls; the book "Appeasement,s Child" scathing criticism by Franco by Lieut.. Tom Hamilton; and also the speech of his Ambassadorial colleague from Mexico who i'm piled that Franco Is a traitor and puppet.
 The Diplomatic Corps is won 1ering whether Ambassador Car ,ienas will now demand suppres- iion of Allan Chase's fighting book "Falange: The Axis Secret Army in the Americas" They think thaht this time he won't
