The BRIGHTER SIDE
By DAMON RUNYON :

over-indulgence on their part in
their own moral and physical
interest.
Dear ladies-dear, dear ladies
or at least you dear, dear
ladies who drink, nothing could
be further removed from the
fact. 1 do not care if you drink
yourself deaf. dumb. blind and
daffy. Why should i? What is
IL TO me? Am /. lone, lorn
mug just doing the best / can,
going 10 combat the WillfulneSs
and self-indulgence ingrained in
your sex across thousands of
years?
You can 60 and bet your last
pair of nylons j am not. No.
ladies, am not up 10 any NOR
atty dodge. / am frankly work
ing in behalf of the barkeeps,
the blokeS who operate the gin
mills and the artistic sensible
ties Of the public. You are tax
ing the patience of the first.
You are damaging the property
of the second by denting his
floors when you fall off the bar
stools. You offend the eye, ear
and sometimes the nose, of the
third.
I DO not mind your drinking.
Il / do not care If you drink a
barrel of your favorite tipple
daily, only / think il should be
done in a cellar in a reclining
position with a siphon, not in
public bars. The advantage of
the position and the cellar is
you will be close 10 the floor
when you pass out, and you
will not have 10 be logged away
on the shoulders of obliging
gentlemen, a spectacle by no
means conducive TO public
morale.
i have still another client in
my case against the lushing
ladies and that is the escort, or
the guy who goes out for an
evening with one of them. per-
haps unaware. that she is a
dipso and suddenly finds him
self with stew on his hands.
The common defense against
this situation is for the escort
TO get loaded himself so he does
not know what happens, but
the escort j am representing is
the nondrinker. who dies 10000
deaths of humiliation when his
lady fair puts on her alcoholic
act.
My stock advice TO this chap
Is TO either pick a nondrinker
like those girls who are writing
me saying they do not drink
but visit bars Just the same, or
TO find one known to have hol-
low legs. The only drawback
to this type is they are ex-
pensive, but a total abstainer
can be that.

POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5--The
w Republican vi torie in
Tuesdays elections sprang from
the people themselves, who are
fed to the ears on the regimen
tation of the New Deal. 1t was
a revolt that anybody could have
seen brewing for weeks and
months past.
AS the smoke of battle clears
away from the polling places it
is seen that the big shots, the
candidates for governor and
mayor, were not the only casual
ties.
The people made clean
sweep, and the manned and
wounded include thousands of
the smaller fry, all over the
country. down TO members of
the city council and the town
dog catcher.
1t is this which in reality gives
to the elections so great stamp
of AUTHENTICITY true revolt by
the people against the bureau
cratic hordes who for a long
time have been treating them
like so many Russian serfS.
Naturally, some innocent in such
circumstances suffer with the
guilty.
IN MANY instances the local
l. rationing boards, which dole
out the gas and the kerosene
and the sugar and the shoes and
the rubber boots, TO the poor
boobs who have to kow-tow and
beg on Bonded knee for the
privilege of living, are not 10
blame.
Nevertheless, the people took
il out of the subordinate office
holders as we'll as the higherupS.
on the general theory that all
officeholders look alike.
The local rationing boards.
the people who actually put the
RECOMMENDATION into effect, for
long time were composed Of
neighborhood folks who under
stood the problems of their fell
low citizens. and served patri=
otically without pay.
But within the past few
months these local boards have
more and more been controlled.
and themselves regimented, by
their bureaucratic bosses of the
Office of Price Administration
in Washington, and put under
paid employees.
The revolt at the polls was
thus essentially a revolt against
Washington bureaucracy.

THERE were, OF course, other
l. factors in the elections.
Organized labor. drunk with
power obtained from the New
Deal government in exchange
for votes and campaign contri-
buttons, went too far, in it's
arrogance behind the protection
of the Wagner law and one
sided decisions of the courts.
The New Deal went too far
in its tolerance of communism,
and its defiance of the Congress
when Congress sought to
cleanse the public pay roll of
left wing radicals.
THE Dies committee has been
Il given a mandate TO ferret
out more of these subversive
elements that have wriggled
into the very woodwork of the
government in Washington.
The Kerr committee of the
House has been given orders not
to be inundated in its effort
10 purge the government service
of subversiveS certified by the
Dies committee.
The Kerr committee of the
been given a mandate to en-
force the Smith-C onnally law
against labor leaders who strike
the nations basic industries in
time of war.
The President has been given
a mandate to join the economy
bloc in Congress in the preven-
ton of wasteful spending, and
10 find a way TO help instead of
TO hinder the effort to relieve
the burden of taxation on the
plain people.
To reckless labor leaders a
signal has been flown which
they will ignore to their peril.
To the people has been given
a sudden light-they can save
themselves whenever they want
to vote to save themselves.

sumes that a vast number OF
air bases distributed all over the
planet will be needed to sup
port a great military air force
such as the United States is
likely to possess.
THIS simply is not true, and
4 it seems highly desirable
that Americans should obtain a
more realistic understanding of
the matter. We surely do not
want to gum up postwar reia-
tons with friendly countries for
the sake of bases which, from
the strictly military viewpoint,
at least, are unnecessary.
Those who think we sail
need chains of bases, even
when they are politically far
sighted, frequently go astray
on this issue because they are
reckoning on the kind of avia-
ton We have today, rather than
the aviation certain to emerge
tomorrow. They forget that
most OF the in-between bases
constructed during the war
were necessary to compensate
for the short operational range
of aircraft. Every time that adj
ditional range has been built
into airplanes, more of these
waystations have lost their
strategic value.
ITO hold an intermediary base
l. you must be able to protect
it with aviation equal to every
thing the enemy can throw
against it. If that base is close
to the enemy's main aerial
strength, it therefore becomes
indefensible. The same is true of
an enemy's bases close to our
own country. Suppose a hostile
power held bases in the carib-
bean, dependent on supplies
from the other side of the
ocean. Obviously we would take
them over at will.
Japan found its mandate
islands valuable because air
power did not yet possess the
reach to strike directly and con-
sequently was obliged to hop
from island to island. In the
future such islands will be ig-
nored by both sides. Air power
will be applied in one massive
stroke" from the center of one
great nation to the center of the
opposing nation.
In the light of these indubi-
table trends in air power devel-
opment, much of the discussion
about farflung air bases is quite
unrealistic from the purely mill
tary angle.
