IN talks with lnnumerable people

government itself is the real
cause of the trouble IN the

Up 10 now the government
has been inclined 10 look upon
its opposition as a reactlonary
resistance 10 its moral crusade
The administration attributed
its troubles 10 the rich. to buSl-
ness and sometimes 10 the news
papers and the Republicans.
There Is now no organized
political opposition. Business is
cooperating with the govern
ment or under it. The rich no
longer exist as an entity or a
power. They know that their
riches either have already or
soon Will vanish under existing
taxation.
THE press, as a whole shows
no evidence of political cam
palgning except for the war
cause. and the Republican Party,
as an organized force of oppoSi-
ton is nowhere in evidence on
scale commensurate with the
size Of this new popular Scnti-
mcnt-certainly not in the South.
The administration Cannot
blame these old forces now.
The opposition this time is
unorgani2od and unStired by
any of the normally functioning
political spoons.

personal experience of the vast

COP to Fight
For Voice on
Key
Anti-New, D e a bems
Likely 10 Back Them
BY GEO. ROCKWELL BROWN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-The
W Democratic leadership of
the House is holding out for
predominant party strength in
the membership of the key
policy-making committees.
In certain respects the Demo-
Gratis are willing to make reason
able increases in the Republican
membership, with corresponding
decreases in the Democratic
strength, 10 give TO the former
a voting power commensurate
with the increased size of the
Republican minority in the new
Congress.
But some obstacles are being
encountered by Rep Joe Martin
Of Massachusetts, the Repub-
lican leader, and there yet may
be quite scrap that may have
to be carried to the floor Of the
House.

HHE Democratic leadership is
l. trying 10 hold this safe ;
10 3 margin of control over the
committee which must pass
upon the huge expenditures for
the war and for the general sup
port of the government
Representative Martin. how
ever has demanded a reduction
in the Democratic membership
from - 10 - and an increase IN
the Republican membership from
- 10 rs.
A deadlock has occurred with
both sides standing pat, for
there Is great deal at stake
IN the apparently academic queS-
ton of proportionate member
ship on this committee.
Mr. Martin also has asked for
a somewhat similar increase in
The Republican membership on
ways and means. But 1t is likely
that he would agree 10 a com
promise whereby TO obtain rs
members Of appropriations, he
would yield the point as 10 ways
and means.
THIS would be long headed on
Mr. Martins part, for he
must look forward 10 the posi-
bliity that two years hence the
Republican Party Will be IN con.
troll Of the House in the seventy
ninth Congress II that should
come about, il would be almost
essential that the Republican
control Of the ways and means
committee should be by a thor
oughly safe margin.
Tho Democratic leadership Of
the House, including the ways
and means committees Demo-
cratic members who constitute
the committee on committees
for that party cannot evadc the
responsibility which now con-
fronts them.
They cannot permit the labor
committee 10 continue under the
domination Of Mrs Norton and
the labor left-wIug without
ignoring the mandate Of The No
vembcr elections.

 There was the luxury of ser wants. It might be a grand Nam my" cook who could keep fam fly well fed on small budget, or a parchment-skinned old Chinese might rule in the kitchen.
 But now the Colonel's Lady, to all practical purposes, has become Judy O'Grady herself. She's on the job from morning till night, keeping those home fires burning (with wet green wood). She's up at "Reveille" and there's no such thing as an 8-hour day in her life.

worrying about Pop, the findings of Dr. Paul Popenoe, head of the American Institute of Family Re- lations, will be a great comfort. Old Doc maintains that a really
 attractive man does not want to philander, unless his wife by her attitude causes him to feel inferior, and that it is only the drip who has to go out and snag some toot- sic for himself, just to prove to himself that he can do it. The chronic skirt chaser, is, in effect, doing it so that he can say to him. self, See? I may be a cross be- tween Boris Karloff and GristIe,

In other words, the average frau has noth- ing to worry about because if her better half is attractive enough to be worth keeping he won't feel the need to prove it to himself by straying and if he's no bargain anyway, then what is she worrying for? At least that's Paul'S theory.
 It does seem to be borne out by observation. The most alluring glamour boys of the day, Charlie Boyer, Alan Ladd and Frank Sin atra, who between them are rais- ing more temperatures than the mention of fourth term at New

It is only the goons like Charlie Chaplin and Tommy Manville who find it nec- essary to bolster their self-esteem by frantically pursuing everything that flashes across the horizon in a set of false --eyelashes and a shrunken sweater.
