Bailey Speaks Out

Senator Josiah Bailey Of North Carolina,
dyed-in-the-wool democrat but not always in
harmony with the new deal and its practices,
has no intention Of permitting the CLIO and
Sidney Hillman gaining control Of the party
so far as his interference can prevent it..
Interviewed at Washington, Senator Bailey
said he will do what he can to keep HIllman
and his crowd OUT At the same time, deny
ing that he will support the republican candi-
date for the presidency, Gov. Thomas E. Dew
ey of New York, he declared that Mr.. Dewey
has endorsed all the new deal except Secre-
tary 1ckes Miss Perkins and President Roose.
velt," and added that he is almost as good
as Vice President Wallace in making new
deal speeches."
Senator Bailey is in a mental attitude SINH.
lar to that of millions of American voters
who have quarrel with the new deal and
even with President Roosevelt, but still cannot
ind it in their hearts to desert the party
they have always supported, especially for
another party which, through it standard bear
er' has no new political gospel to preach.
II they finally change allegiance we believe
they will do so chiefly because the President
has brought Sidney Hillman into the castle

tary age, happily allowed himself to be nypno-
tized by Hitlers oratory, even though later
the Gestapo had to be dispatched to keep
him in his trance.
Now, as one burgher told Mr. Gorren' the
Gestapo is gone and the Germans aren't AFRAID
They're glad the war is almost over. They
want peace and quiet.
Stares, silence and lethargy have greeted
most American troops in Germany thus Tar.
Lethargy will probably remain after the fight
ing is over. It is the lethargy Of people
who love to be led, and who accepted Hitler
as the alternative to the bothersome chore
OF governing themselves. 1t is lethargy that
will be something to contend with in rebuilding
Germany under rational form Of Democratic
government.

Stop The Honking

After controlling unnecessary noises in the
streets for so long a time, under the no horn
ordnance and because Of police enforcement
with court cooperation, it is disturbing in more
ways than one to find many motor car drivers
reverting to the bad habit of blasting the
normal quiet of the city with loud honking
when there is no actual need for touching
the horn button
Drive where you will on any main thorough
fare and nine times out Of ten some driver
will come up behind you at speed exceeding
your own and demand right Of way with 4
sharp blast, which Il strictly prohibited. The
horn is legally to be blown only IN emergency,
and only on the rare occasion does the de-
mand for passage involve an emergency.
More often than not the impatient driver
overlooks the fact that the driver ahead can
not pull out Of his way because OF other
automobiles parked at the curb, but he keeps
up his honking nevertheless.
Because Of the steady increase in horn blow.
ing it would seem that an aggressive cam.
paign Of suppression il in order by the police.

Salute To Air-BOrne Army

Ever since the Germans launched their coun.
ter offensive against the Allied air borne
forces in the Anthem area the question has
been whether reinforcements would arrive in
time to rescue Them The word has been
uppermost in everybodys mind and prayers.
J. NJ Roberts, Jr., war analyst substituting
for Dewitt Mackenzie OF the Associated fress
Staff, says however, it is hardly proper to
use the word: You don't rescue men who,
deliberately assigned to difficult post, stand
and slug regardless Of Odds
His further observations on the situation are
81 penetrating and withal so logical it Is ap-
propriate to quote them here, since this paper
was unable to include them in its previous
news columns.
Strictly speaking, he says, the advancing
British Second Army is not relief" column.
And, continuing:
It may have that effect on the encircled
airborne troops. But technically the whole
operation is part Of an offensive, delber-
ately planned so that General Breretons
main armies in their advance across the
Holland water barriers. The Second Ar
my is heading for the capture of Anthem
and the invasion OF the German Ruhr. It's
not a relief job.
There is a difference between the air
army which deliberately put itself in the
German circle and an army which has
walked into trap.

Thanksgiving

When is Thanksgiving? Nobody seems quite
sure
It all harks back TO the disturbance over
the holiday created by q presidential order
in 1889 setting the third Thursday in November
for observance Of the blessings Providence
had bestowed upon the nation and its people.
The Presidents purpose was to provide
longer lapse Of time between Thanksgiving
and Christmas, which might have been good
idea, but with the American people consthu-
tionally opposed to change in general and
as 1t turned out this change in particular,
q mighty storm arose on the sea Of national
affairs.
Some governors even refused to accept the
chief Executives ukase and instructed their
people proper excuse for two Thanksgiving
and an extra day-after tunmy ache. This
practice continued through 1910 and 1941 but
In December Of the latter year Congress pass
ed bill designating the fourth not the LAST
Thursday as the legal Thanksgiving holiday,
and 50 1t has remained until the present
time.
But because Congress really intended to des-
ignate the last Thursday in November and
overlooked the fact that every once in so
often November contains five Thursdays, its
act naming the fourth Thursday for the cele-
bration has given rise to the question whether
November % 0he fourth Thursday on Nov
ember 30 Che fifth shall be observed in
1914.
To clear up the situation, Rep. Harold Knut.
son OF Minnesota, who happens to be re.
publican but who in this matter is thinking
straight, offered a resolution in the House
before adjournment authorizing observance OF
the last Thursday in the month He believes
a congressional declaration would avoid con.
fusion in the states and set everybody down
to the traditional turkey and cranberry sauce
feast on the same day.
1t would be well to have the matter settled
once and for ALL even beyond the possibility
of presidential interference, as long as it is
considered worthwhile to have national day
of thanksgiving, but as we see it, what counts
most is the giving of thanks rather than the
holiday, and that ought to be daily custom

pletely in charge of a kosher kitch-
en- feeding 20O The WRA did not
anticipate that some of the refu-
gees, -underfed for months, would
want as much to eat as combat
soldier.
The typical American diet had
to be altered to provide dark, full
bodied bread, rather than white,
and more milk was added.
Erich Wittenberg, a Czech who
used to run a coal mine, set the
stage for solution OF the m r
problem of education for the 1852
children.
Wittenberg was busy on t h $
problem even before the refugees
reached American soil Aug. 4.
When the War Relocation Author
ity officials began educational plan
ming, he came up with card in
dex of those to be taught.
Now, Wittenberg is head Of the
educational subcommittee Of tn e
general advisory committee. and is
overseeing the teaching of his own
two children and the 100 others
who are attending Oswego schools.
Oswego Teachers college is TAX

group. Ten or a dozen others are
attending parochial school. Others
are going to two elementary
schools and Oswego high school.
"They are fitting in pretty well"
the WRA spokesman said, "Al-
though the superintendent of
schools did ask for a circular to
parents - it seems the children
were not accustomed to the quiet
of American classes"
The second largest problem was
clothing. The principle was laid
down that buying should be done
through Oswego merchants, on a
grant basis, as relief project,
with grants based on local figures.
| Oswego stores wanted to cooper
, ate, but were operating on quotas

put it, IF they sold all their $685.
housedresses to the refugees, that
would leave the Oswegoans with
out any. We had to appeal to the
jobbers and manufacturers to in.
crease their quotas, and so every.
one got an initial grant.
IA basis for continuing grant
for clothing requirements was set,
ranging from 81 a month for chill

When this advisory committee
was contemplated, "the refugees
came up with the idea that il
should be formed on a nationality

1--WE finally compromised. The
Yugoslavs, Germans, Austrians
