WASHINGTON SCENE
BY George Dixon

EOR a long time now I have
L been intending TO do a piece
about the White House press
room. This is a hallowed spot.
practically a shrine, you might
say. so / approach the subject
with all solemnity.
The original inspiration for
this effort. / mi-ht admit, came
from Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is a newspaper
writer as well as a Vanderbilt
although either is generally
considered TO be a full time job
and about all one man could be
expected to handle wi bout
straining hisself.
l was reminded of my inten-
ton today by a postcard from
Mr.. Vanderbilt, postmarked Des
Moines. la. In his newsy. Cos
sipy style, filled with anecdotes,
he wrote as follows:
Hello, there
THE reason Mr.. Vanderbilt
l. inspired me to this task is
that he wrote a piece about the
White House some time ago
but neglected to mention the

should an employe have to de-

OF customers Why should a
customer who pays high prices

ployer's pay roll?

OF the newest and most in

after vanishing mysteriously
from a joint in Poughkeepsie.
All / really know al first
hand about the deer-swiping is
that / was asleep in Pough-

something landed on my stom-
ach. woke up TO find myself
wrestling with the front end Of
a deer. Out in the hallway /
could hear raucous sounds. but
l failed-having stubbed a toe
in the dark-to catch the Gull
prits.
Something told me that the
deer-tosser had not come into
possession of the thing le-
Ultimately. so l wished TO get
rid of the evidence. l stole
down the corridor. searching
for unlocked doors. When l 10
Gated one. i tossed the head in.
Apparently. l made a faulty
choice of rooms, wild, feminine
screams pursued me as l fed.
CONSEQUENTLY, I was
~ somewhat surprised when
the bodylesS beast reappeared
on the Presidents private train
coming back TO Washington.
Some stuffed-head lover had
placed il in a seat and put a
cigaret in its mouth. The air.
conditioning produced just
enough updraft to make 1t look
as if the head were putting
away contentedly.
This caused people passing
through the car to go suddenly
swivel-eyed. providing vast
merriment for the perpetrators.
However. there is positively
no truth TO a story, subse-
quently written by Mr.. Charles
o. Gridley. president of the
Gridiron Club. TO the effect
that the deer was alive-and
with body attached-when IL
entered my room. Nor is there
a particle Of truth to his state
ment that / knitted the inno-
cent beast and then called Rep.

THE intensity of American in
l. terest in the success of the
invasion of France should not
make us disregard the serious
ness of the military situation in
China. II concerns ourselves as
much as il does the Chinese.
When. last March, the Japa-
nese undertook their invasion of
British India. il began to be
clear that this operation was
designed not merely to smash
up Gen. Stilwell's developing
line of supply across northern
Burma into China.
II was also an attempt to put
the Allies in India on the de-
fensive while the Japanese
armies in Asia completed their
subjugation of China.
II has become essential to
Japan to prevent the United
States from establishing our
selves in South China and our
feet from staging landing
operation at some point on
Chinas south coast such as
Swallow Annoy or Foochow,
which would provide a maritime
line of military supply to the
armies of China.
