 ON GETTING YOUR FEET WET
 Ensign in U. s. Naval Reserve, commanding gun crew aboard mer- chantman that was torpedoed, was adrift in an open boat in the At lantic last November along with eight other survivors. He says, T was soaking wet every minute of those 39 days and I came through in good health. But 1t took me just two days to catch cold when I got to New York"
 The moral Of this is, not what the WiSeacres think The Wiseacres think along the lines of this note from one of them:
 If you had a spark of honesty you would try your silly theory on your own carcasS-go out on damp cold day, work up good sweat, get your clothes wringing wet, lie down in really wet spot and go to sleep or try to sleep for a few hours. If you wake up then with no symptoms of cold, no sore throat or stiff neck or anything ese-then and not until then will you have the right to claim that for some people at least exposure doesn't cause illness"
 If MT. Wiseacre will agree to omit his "or anything else" from the terms of the test and also agree upon some definition of "a cold" I'm prepared to take bets at any odds he likes on it..
 It might be unpleasant and un- comfortable to lie down in a really wet spot" with wet clothes on, but If the test would convince any one who needs convincing I'd be happy to offer my carcass for 1t at any time.
 I have never implied as MT. Wise acre seems to think, that one runs no risk of getting stiff, sore, lame muscles from unaccustomed or un- usually vigorous exercise or work and too sudden cooling off-and that is as likely to occur whether yp 1itt1A at all, that is, sweating has nothing whatever to do with it. contend merely that such muscle soreness. it is less likely to occur If one Is in training or accustomed to vig- orous work, play or exercise--such muscle soreness cannot by any stretch of the imagination be called an illness, nor is it ever dangerous to life, directly or indirectly.
 Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the famous Arctic explorer, has gone through that test a thousand times in the Arctic and he tells me he never saw any reason to believe such eX- posture to cold or wet makes any one ill or more likely to contract illness.
 Thousands of American soldiers went through that test in the trenches Of Belgium and France in the first World War, and hundreds of them have told me they suffered only discomfort from the exposure, never "colds" while they remained in the trenches. They caught the only colds" they had when they were in more comfortable environ ment, back in billets, sleeping under dry roof and in dry clothes

Selected Poem
BATTLE EVE

John Richter in the New York Times What is it a man remembers on the edge Of dark night, and the ram falling? Moments of childhood and the hard wedge Of later living; the harsh wind calling? Tag-cnds of memory: the soft warm Hands Of love; or the name of a street In some town where once he was lonely Life is close to the steel, the acrid light Where star-shels blossom and meet In the angry sky, there is left only The clean holiness Of the put-away mind Reaching outward into the noisy night For the yesterdays he did not find

This time the giant National Lead company is involved.
 The case is s..niiar to the deals of Standard of New Jersey and the Aluminium Corporation before the war to control synthetic rub Der and magnesium in cooperation with Na2i cartelS In the National Lead case, Japanese as well as German business connections were concerned
 The deal was to control the
 production O, titanium, a rare substance essential to the manu-
 facture of paint, also to the cut
 ting edge of tools.
 The Justice Department has un- earthed documents showing that National Lead had an agreement with l. G. Farbenindustrie of Germany whereby if war came Nazi patents would be so held by National Lead in this country that they would not be seized by the Alien Property Custodian, but could be transferred back to Germany after the war.
 This is not the first time Ma tional Lead nas been under fire for it's international business &C., tiyities. For many years before the war, it cooperated with the big British-Dutch gin combine which forced the United States to ship raw tin all the way round the world from Singapore or Bolivia to England to be Smelted, then back to the United States.
 It took months of inter-gOv- ernmcnt jOckcy'ng before Pearl IIarbOr to persuade government friends of National Lead to build tin Smelter in the U. $. A. so that tEis country would be independent of the international tin cartel.
 Fletcher Rockwell, president of the National Lead, is also chair man of the Board of Patino Mines and Enterprises, the com pany organized by the big Bo- liVian tin king, Patino.
 NOTE: Whether the War De- partment now steps in to block the Justice Department remains to be seen. Undersecretary of War Pat terGon has Writhed in agony and protested to the White House when the Justice Department has tried to prosecute various big business combines whose products are essential to the war effort.

 FDR has no love for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, saw nothing of them when they con- ferred with Churchill The only time Churchill ever was booed on the floor om Commons was when he made his famous speech in the winter of 1886 de- lending Edwards right to marry Wally and remain King of Eng land Only a handful of labor is coming up from the Bahamas to work in the U. s. A., so the Duke merely made that the eX- cuSe for his talk with Churchill. Actually he wants to get back to London |. Inside fact is that the OPA opposed liberalizing the cof- fee ration, had to be blackjacked into it by the coffee industry. At present, large quantities of cof- fee are entering the country from the Caribbean countries because of improved submarine conditions. But OPA feared the submarine menace might get worse, "urtail coffee. Then the public would be confused at having to cut its coffee ration again Residents of Martinique are deserting that French island in small boats as if it were a sinking ship.
