THE PRIVATE PAPERS OF A CUB

When Congress sliced huge
chunk from the funds of Elmer Da-
Wis Owl, Rep. Starnes of Alabama
stung Elmer by saying that the U.
S. doesn't need Goebbels No
objection is made to the gentleman
from Alabama having his own
opinion about the worth of owl . E.
But he needn't have sold Midget Joe
as short as all that Midget Joe
has done a lot of good work in the
House of Representatives, and Mr..
Starnes oughtn't to belittle him I'M
til some colleagues in Congress get
through using his tactics, and, in
fact, some of his wordage Midget
Joe is lot of things, all bad, but
he Is no dope :. His slippery word
age creased the chutes for a lot of
European countries, and many
American office holders got elected
by echoing Goebbels' coinages {.
You can despise Goebbels, but the
rat has loads of talent.
Goebbels' best job was the label
he gave Hitler for his murder and
plumber racket . Adolf kept yell
ing for Giving room" for Germans,
repeating Goebbels' yelp that the
the country didn't have room to
throw their chest in. And the world
fell for that one The slogan
served its purpose when the world
caught on that the Nazis meant
ALL the living room, and the rest of
us in it had to be erased to make it
roomier
Right now the darling of the slo-
cancers is: will Russia make a
separate peace?" Like it or not,
Russia has the best record of any
of the major nations for keeping
its word and Germany, as every
body knows, an unbroken record for
never keeping its pledges One
analyst the other morning was

has its repeaters over here :. You
hear whispers deploring the davages
of the Allied airmen. 1t is remark
able that not peep came out of
the same mourners when our side
was running second.
Perhaps the propagandists over
there are better than any of ours
:. One of our stunts was having
Allied flyers drop goodies, such as
chocolate bars, over Italian towns.
The wrappers on them contained
propaganda telling the Italians that
the chocolate was one of the good
things they could have plenty of
if they came over to our side :.
The trick was working splendidly
until the fast thinkers in the Italian
propaganda bureau frightened the
people out of picking them up

Sfunds Pat on
Rent Control

WASHINGTON (FP)-OPA Ad-
ministrator Prentiss Brown again
demonstrated his firm refusal to
have rent control tampered with
April %.
When indignant rent division en-
ployes called his attention to q
New York Herald-Tribune story in
which Deputy Administrator Clyde
Herring was quoted as favoring
drastic changes in rent control,
Brown signed a staff memo which
said his comments "do not reflect
my views"
This slap in the face for Herring
is further indication that in his
survey of OPA personnel and prac-
tices he is surveying himself out
of job. He and j. B. Deacon,
vice president Of Schenley's Dis
tillery, OPA employe whom Her.
ring put in charge of investigating
rent, have advocated doing away
with area rent offices and adding
10000 clerks to do the job of
4,300 qualified rent experts.
