Views Of The Press

full in past campaigns, free hand in field operations. Marshal Win ter-for surely he deserves new honors by this time-will have Rus sia's enemies at worse diSadvan- tage than ever before. Dispatches from Moscow tell of a German Army unprepared for cold-weather fighting. There have been talks with prisoners and observation of captured German stores which in- dicate that Hitler, for a fourth Suc- cessive year, has. been unable to send new equipment to his desper- ately pressed divisions.
 The physical fighting ability of troops and the best use of mechan- ized equipment depend more on @ well filled stomach and warm fling CTS than civilians can know whose garages have steam pipes, whose cars have heaters, and who, on cold mornings above Plattsburg or Crown Point, start the days battle with hot sausageS and pancakes un- der their mackinaws. Now that snow flies it is good to remember that those of our boys who are serving on chilly fronts have, like the Russians, the best of winter equipment in warm plenty.

unions. The fact that Mfr. Hillman's en- tcurage also included the nominally dis banded Communist Party caused the more conservative ALP members to bail out and form the Liberal Party. Yet the new ALP, with the Communists roasting on its shoulder, polled 490,O00 votes-5O per cent more than the Liberal Party, and 73OOO more than the total labor vote for the President in 1940 before the ALP-Liberal split.
 This years total labor vote saved New York State for MT. Roosevelt even more emphatically than it did four years ago.
 But labor holds the balance of political power in the country, as well as in New York That's coming long way from the hat-in-hand days, and it can thank MT. Hillman for considerable help en route. Now, as No labor politician, his position is rich in opportunities for good, and also in temptation. Mr. Hillman can consult the sorry history of American boSsiSm for ample evidence of what not to do. And it may be hoped that one of his early acts will be to diSSociate him. self from his present ALP ties with Com munistS who, in spite of their present dormancy and allegiance, do not repre- sent the wishes or purposes of millions who now look to him as their spokesman and champion.

SHORTAGE, KING SIZE
(Hartford Courant.)

Nearly everyone is aware that a cigarette shortage, king size, appar- ently exists in Connecticut and else where right now. It comes as some what of shock to the inveterate smoker who is used to walking in nonchalantly and calling for his favorite brand of cigarettes. Lately he's been taking what he can get, ii any. i
 Nobody is complaining. because everybody assumes that the short age is due to shipments overseas to service men. But the National As Sociation of Tobacco Distributors puts the blame on folks at home. They say that Americans are smok- ing at the fastest rate in history, and that's why there's a shortage. More than 250 billion cigarettes will be produced for home consumption this year, in addition to the 63 bil- lion that will be shipped overseas. This is 2 billion more for domestic consumption than last year.
 Perhaps the shortage is due to increased smoking. It is not un- likely, however, that contributing to the shortage are those persons who, at the slightest hint of famine, feverishly buy quantities far in ex- cess of their immediate needs. This is not the most pleasant aspect of human nature, but it may be an important factor in creating the cigarette shortage.

Movies Join the General Staff

If Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, perhaps practice originat- ed on Americas football fields may be helping to win this war. For just as coach looks at the movies of last Satur days game to study and avoid mistakes in the next one, so our General Staff studies combat films for what they can teach in the conduct of war.
 In western Europe alone there are 200 combat photographers who shoot an average of 60,000 feet of film a week. This is rushed to London for developing, then flown to Washington. Thus for the first time in the history of war, the gen. erals and admirals who plan the broad strategy of battle may share the field commanders view of it's tactical applica- tion.
 Conceivably this is saving lives and speeding victory. So the next time we growl at spending money for some mine run Hollywood product, we might temper our ire with the thought that the tech nical refinements of merchandising are making real contribution toward win- ming the war.

The Postwar Bus

Perhaps it is an unhealthy sign of con- servatism or mental sclerosis, but we find ourselves much less intrigued by prom iseS of revolutionary miracles in the post war world than by possible improvements of existing institutions. Take, for ln- stance the bus. It is handy but by no means perfect vehicle. Yet the Mack Truck people tell us that we may hope for something nearer to our hearts de- sire. And if their prospectus pans out we shall most certainly agree. Among other things, the Mack people say, there will be de-gasser to banish those nox- ious engine odors that smart the eyes and nose, cause the head to ache, and gener- ally revolt the senses. Also anti-Sllp doorSteps and heavier insulation.
 And there will be uniform, circulating air heat instead of the prewar inadequacy which Scorched the shins of the front seat passengers and froze those in back. The new bus will also have automatic transmission and a torque converter that should banish bumps and grinds from gear7shifting. But perhaps best of all IS the thought that has been given the Standee. He will have his own oblong windows at his own eye level, above the regular windows. Think of it-no more cricks in the neck, no more constant lowing to see if you've reached your stop. An, strap-hanging were paradise enow! Lead us to it.

You Can Build a House

Many restrictions have been lifted by Government agencies on the building of new houses, and the WIPE has decided not to interfere with the owners of new houses regarding total floor areas, the number of electric outlets and plumbing fixtures, etc. Credit terms can be ar- ranged through the local banks by moder- ate down-payments. The family that is ambitious to own home will be able to carry through it's plans. Of course no one is going to guarantee the home-owner the help of skilled builders or even common labor.
 Perhaps we might put some old-time American methods to work and return to the practices that prevailed at the end of the century when many houses were built by workers in mills and factories, after hours, and until very late at night. That's the way it was done in the good old days.

Lesson for the Master Race

If recent reports from within Germany are to be credited, the NaziS themselves have accommodating started the diff cult task of de-educating and re-educat- ing their followers. This is being done not through books, but through impress Sive laboratory demonstrations in their own city streets. It seems that their dwindling manpower reserve has forced the NaziS to impress prisoners from Asi- atic Russia in to service, and thus knock the racial supremacy theory for loop. For today the Germans see about them a cOnglomerate collection of men in Ger man uniforms whose complexion and bone structure proclaim them to be inferior" according to the master-race diet which Hitler fed his people for 10 years. That must be quite jolt. And particularly since many of these foreigners wear the SS uniform. The SS used to be the cream of the Nazi crop. Its fanatic members were intent on proving, by blood and slaughter, that the Morales" living inside certain artificial political boundaries were ordained by natures laws to enSlave and rule their neighbors.
 Today thousands of those ardent dis ciples of the New Order lie buried in dis tant lands. So many are gone that the Maxi leaders must now force members of the destined slave race, on pain of death, to defend the master race against inc, vitable defeat by the conquering "in- ferior" armies. It would be a baffling task to try to explain such an anomaly. Here are prisoners compelled to take up arms in defense of philosophy which would enSlave them but which, by de- lending, they also destroy. The Signifi- canoe behind the sight of a Mongoloid face above an SS uniform can hardly be lost upon the most obtuse German And yet it may be wondered how lasting an < impression the lesson will make. Super raciSm isn't Nazi invention. It has 1OuriShed in Germany for more than a century, in such things as Hegels theory of the dominance of the Germanic people as world rulers; NietzscheS vision of a Superman and daring and ruler race" triumphing over slave types paralyzed by Jewish-C Christian morality; Wagner's grandiose Teutonic myths; Treitschke's anti-Socialist, anti-Catholic, anti-Polish and anti-Jewish writing. Hitler's circle weren't the first small men to pervert philoSophic thought to despicable prac- tice.
 Germany was also the cradle of mod ern anti-SemitiSm. In the last quarter of the 18th century this bigotry spread to Russia, Hungary, Romania and France, climaxed there by the infamous Dreyfus persecution. Directly after the last war anti-Semitism reappeared in Germany, and it took but little encouragement for Hitler to fan it into flame Racism is a congenital German alteration. Its erad- ication will be a hard, perplexing problem for Germany's conquerers. But a prac- tical example of it's inconsistent folly, presented unwillingly by German author itieS, may be as hopeful beginning as
 could be asked for.

Labor in the Election

When Sidney Hillman said that the future of the Political Action Committee rested with the C.IO. convention which meets in Chicago this month, he could only have been indulging in a punctiliouS fOrmality. For there can be no real doubt about continuing one of the most sac ceSSful organizations in recent political history. MT. Hillman, though not affil- lated with either major party, emerged from the election as one of the country'S most powerful political figures His PAC can claim a big share of credit for Mr. RooSevelt'S reelection. Some will try to minimize it's influence as being part of trend away from iSolationiSm and toward preference for independent" voters groups. But even the minimizers must admit that the PAC Spearheaded and directed that trend And they must admit, even if they don't admire, the PAC's thorough organization and tre- mendous energy. It was buttonholing, doorbell-ringing, vote-getting energy in significant contrast to the apathy that political writers reported in many state and city Democratic organizations. PAC volunteers worked like beavers during registration periods, after polltakers had forecast a light vote which was inter- preted as favorable to Governor Dewey. Their activity may have goaded some anti-PAC voters into registering, but 1t obviously brought out even more voters for PAC-supported candidates.
 Tn New York the American Labor Party rolled up a record vote in per s0nal demonstration of MT. Hillmans power Early this year he took over this party at the head of 2 group of leIt5Wlng

quently voted against Roosevelt, especially on foreign policy. Thus FDR virtually gains a new sena- tor Like Governor Jimmie Davis of Louisiana, Senator elect Taylor has been a cowboy croon- CT, but did no crooning in this campaign. He talked straight poli- tics, managed to beat our popular Republican Gov. Bottolfsen.
 SenatOr-elect Leverett SaltOn- stall, Governor of Massachusetts, Republican, is the exact opposite of cowboy crooner Glen Taylor, but, on foreign policy, they think alike. Sa1tonStall is a Back Bay blue stocking, very Harvard, used to row on the crew, looks like an aristocrat, acts like real human being. Saltonstau munch- es candy, peanuts, has been a lib-- eral Republican, knows what this war means, has lost son fight ing it. When it comes to build ing peace machinery after the war, Roosevelt has a new sena- torial supporter in SalStonStall.
 Homer Capehart of Indiana, Republican, is the one new iSo- lationist out of the long list of in- ternationalists now added to the Senate. The muSic-box king, he was featured intestimony before the Dies Committee in 1889 when some of the 'super-patriOts" who had been smuggling close to the Knights of the White Camellas talked about Capehart as their candidate for President.
 Warren MagnusOn of Washing ton, Democrat, is one of the youngest men elected to the Sen- ate in eight years, is 39. He has been brilliant, hard-working booster of FDR's foreign policies in the House of Representatives. Magnuson saw service in the Navy as a lieutenant commander im-

mediately after the outbreak of the war, has been one of the most useful members of the House Naval Affairs Committee.
 J. William Fulbright of Arkan- Sas, Democrat, is another new Senator who will give the Presi- dent plenty of support in shaping a permanent peace . A Rhodes scholar who jumped from presi- dent of the University of Arkan- sas into the House of Represen- tatives, Fulbright had the cour- age, though only a rookie Con- gresSman, to push and pass the Fulbright resolution calling for international cooperation to pre- vent war. His leadership forced the hand of Correll Hull and the Administration.
 SenatOr-elect BOurke Hicken- lOOper, Governor of Iowa, Repub- lican, is expected to be 8 better supporter of the Presidents for eign policy than his predecessor, Democratic Senator Guy Gillette. WHO ACd1Ic0 bOWdIQ 4SOldL1O1ls "A good Governor of Iowa, Hicken- looper has the reputation of being a fair fighter Senators who preside over the Senate will be grateful that they merely recog- nize ''The Senator from Iowa." won't have to call out his name.
 In addition to the above list, some of the Presidents staunch- est past supporters on foreign policy, such as Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, are back on the job for another six years. So if the President doesn't write a peace that will stick, it will be his own fault. His Senate will not only cooperate, but probably be a bit ahead of him.

If a husband is a man and not a mouse of course he will be at his wife's side during the delivery = and he will not let any trick of the hospi- tai or the doctor exclude him from the duty and privilege. I'd hesitate to trust hospital or a doctor that objected to the presence of the husband in the delivery room-or a husband who meekly accepts the role of stooge imposed on him by some hospitals and some doctors.

Monday morning the ground was white in the Catskills and Adiron- dacks. Maine leaves rustled under layer of wind tossed flakes and northern New Hampshire had foot of prediction snow heaped around polling places. In such boreai towns as Burlington and Rutland shop windows have for weeks been filled with heavy underwear, thick socks, lumber jackets and other civ- ilian combat apparel for those frigid months when residents around Lake Champlain become amateur articticians and chimneys roar at Ticonderoga.
 Winter is not far off. And cold though it may be in upstate New York and northern New England. it is colder yet in Russia, where the victorious Red Army has consolidat- ed it's fronts from the Parents Sea to the Balkans and is now ready to give General Winter, so success

 The man got to thinking that after all there are many people who wish He had. Hitler and his crowd would be very well pleased If the Lord resigned and allowed them to run the world. There are some people who are quite sure that they could manage things much better than the Almighty. There are also many people who believe that the Lord has resigned. They think He has turned the management of the worlds affairs over to Satan or to the dictators, to the criminals and the scheming politicians, to chiselers and those who love to spread a lie.

A CHILD KNOWS WHAT TO
 WEAR

Every little while some reader chides me for the teaching that exposure is harmless or rather beneficial to health, that is, ex- posture to sunshine or skyshine if there is no direct sunshine, regard less of the season, climate or weather and with regard only for physical comfort.
 It is not my intention to say that discomfort or suffering from cold or dampness does one any good. On the other hand I do say that short of frostbite cold or dampness does one no harm.
 From all the experimental, scien- tific and practical evidence we have, especially the everyday experience of people who are exposed to cold and wet, it is overwhelmingly man. ifest, I believe, that cold and damp ness have nothing whatever to do with either respiratory diseases or joint or rheumatic" troubles which are so often ascribed to cold and dampness.
 It is not the cold nor the wet or dampness that accounts for greater prevalence of respiratory diseases and joint or rheumatic" troubles in colder, damper climate, weather or season of year. Rather, I am convinced, 1t is the greater care ignorant or misinformed people take in such climate, weather or season to avoid exp0sure-to pro- tect their skin from daylight. Of course the poor geeks think they are wise to coddle themselves from the imaginary danger of cold and wet, when actually they are fool- ishly refusing to take as gift pre- cisely what other poor geeks with plenty of jack and time on their hands pay for-skyshine = that's what they change climate for. Mind, I do not advise exposure in any circumstance if 1t is physi- cally uncomfortable. But despite what granma or Aunt Minervy thinks about 1t I do insist that any child who is not an imbecile knows better than you or granma or do when he or she is not comfortable, and so far as health is concerned the child's judgment as to what he or she wears or goes without is better than yours or gramma's or mine and should pre- vail.
