pretty Meredith, was some one we
had made a note to see here. i.
She is singing at the Casablanca.
But it was not necessary to go
there to see her. :. She turned up
In the exact center of a group of
autograph seekers right in front of
Tffany's most ambition-inspiring
show window. {. After singing the
last book Of the least child, Miss
Howard explained that she has an
entirely new thrill in her life. :.
1t is a play by Ernest Pascal, the
Hollywood not the London one, in
which she will appear with Tamara
Gevs and her husband, John Emory.
After reading play after play
script, Miss Howard had abandoned
hope of doing anything on Broad
way this season. But a man
came into Casablanca one night and
said he had just the thing for her.
He had heard her sing and had seen
her in pictures and remembered
that she was just the girl for the
part. . He turned out to be alb
solutely right and Miss Howard is
very happy. So are the others

become law, will the ghost which the
President has conjured up really

Initiation is that ghost.

Memories are long enough to re-

there came to pass what all the high

the figure of the Christ-Child has

During the Renaissance the pre-

the President for that. He doesn't

met.
+ The congress threatened to stop
the appropriation and authorization
for the Office of Price Administra-
ton. 1t managed to consider bills
to take away OPA's powers, bit by
bit, to maintain the ceiling on coal
and on oil.
These are just a few of the many
efforts to shake loose the war re-
straints. Congress has reflected,
honestly enough, the feeling of the
people. AS the Allies march nearer
to victory, the restraints of regula-
ton and RECOMMENDATION chafe more
and more.
But down deep in the hearts Of
many a lawmaker today is the reali-
cation that whether the administra-
ton has been right or wrong in the
way it has done things, it was right
when it said that imitation had to be
avoided.
And that is why today, unless I
miss my guess, or unless some Dan
ie1 comes to judgment who can dis
cover better salve than subsidies,
the administration will win, at least
a partial victory, in the battle which
will be staged in the days just
ahead.

Imitation is that ghost.
Nobody wants imitation.
Strange Phenomenon

10 ask themselves.
Strange Phenomenon
It was strange but not an I'M
accustomed phenomenon. The phe-
nomenon of the congressman torn
between what the particular group
which dominated his constituency
wanted and what he felt honestly
and sincerely was the best thing for
them in the long run. That doubt
began to stir. It was an interesting
thing to pass through the halls of
the Capitol and Of the House and
Senate Office buildings and talk to
these men. You could almost see
the spectre rising behind them. The
spectre of imitation pointing it's fin
ger at them.
Whenever you run into someone
whose business it is to feel the pulse
Of congress, you get the same reac-
ton I have just pictured. Members
Of congress are worried. They don't
want to be blamed for imitation.
And that is why now, at this mo-
ment, when the fate Of the Commod-
ity Credit corporation (Which nearly
everybody wants. would seem to be
sealed by the triumph of the anti
subsidy provision, such fate may not
be so certain.
When this subsidy fight started,
I wrote in this column that the adj
ministration realized it had one of
the hardest fights it ever had ahead.
That there seemed to be absolutely
no compromise in sight.
The other day, man, wise In
the ways of congress and beholden
to no party and, so far as I know
in the years I have known him, new
er a proponent of any measure CHS
business is to be neutraD, said to
me: wait and see, somebody like
Senator Taft will come out with a
compromise"
Well. ! have waited and perhaps
by the time you read this you will
also have read that somebody like
Senator Taft has produced the
compromise.
If not, the administration So
called ''hold the line" policy will bite
the dust.
See how the congress has struck
at almost every brick in that wall.

The treasury said: you must tax
the spending money out of the pock-

gress passed a tax bill that would

This disregard of treasury's advice
was due only in part to lack Of
respect for Secretary Morgenthau's
