 The wall that Berlin Is sending un every hour on tile hour has been borrowed by the COP as party rallying cry, It's the old Reds-un- der-the -bees panioker Berlin Is trying to sell the gullible the lnotll-eaten notion that if Germany goes, the ConilmieS will come and show their teeth, Over here the Repubs have localized the same la. ment It shows you the im- poverished state of the COP think brigade when they graft their vic- tory whoop on the despairnlg cry of Q licked and contemptible en- enay,
 It came as surprise to lots of us that the COP had such crush on the hest of the world |, Four years ago they were saying that we should stay on our own side of the ocean and enjoy our isolation. Let Europe settle its own squabhleS they shrieked ., At that time the Germans (who will be remembered by their own monuments at Dublin and Maidnek) were building their ovens for the cremation of babies .. Check back over the files of four years age and remind yourself how serenely the COP didn't give hoot about what happened in Europe,
 Let's revive quip 1t is well to bear in mind every time you hear the Red boo It was said first by Arthur Garfield Hays--some- thing like this: When the Fas- cistS warn against Communism It's always with the idea of offering Fascist protection against It."
 Incidentally, haven't heard Congresswoman Luce, Gov. Dewey Gov. Green or any of the other Red- jurnpy politicos express any fret about the rapid Ratification of the Argentine -.

I thing MT. Brownell has no time for at all is brass tack,
 As Q New Dealer, I'd like to hear more from Gov, Dewey Never have craved more of Q speech than the Cows dissertation on Pres RooSevelt's responsibility for un-em. ployment. I thought at first the whole thing was a typographical error, or that some mischievous printer had inserted Dewey's name in the piece For the one thing never expected to see was Q Re- publican office-seeker bringing up unemployment Goodness, that's the same kind of social mlsplay as mentioning General sherman in Dixie.
 Whats all this coyness about not letting the voteSr chew up the vary- ing opinions on what kind of peace there is going to be9 Mir. Hull, Mir. Dulles and MT. Dewey prefer that this be kept out of the cam paign. Tn Heavens name, why2 It's the biggest thing in our. lives, in the life of our country. There Is no flu. ture for any of us that isn't either improved or destroyed by the na. ture of the peace, Bring 1t out and let us see what we're buying , Mir. Dewey reported himself dis turbed by reports" that the pro- posed barley was full of booby traps for Uncle Samson, Reports from where? From whomq He hasn't the right to alarm us with vague threats of disaster Let him state the source of the re- ports, an diet the voters decide If they are reliable, fantastic or dreamed up .. One of those from what hear" suspicious is Q pretty shaky platform on which to rest a decision that means either life or death to American boys.
 Let's grant that 0 campaign year brings out Q flood of irresponsible talk. Both factions make charges that couldn't stand up in Magis- trate's court with battery of eX- pert perjurers on each side. No' body is much convinced by them The Repubs echo their can. didates' claims and the Dems ditto They meet in bar and somebody gets Q punch in the nose and ther they vote the straight ticket which they would have done any way without any hooplaing from the double-talking stumpster,
 But never before has 0 candidate sought the Presidency with the peace of the whole world a reSpon' sihility of office -, MT, Wewey has, in effect, charged MT, Hull Mr. Hull has invited Mir, Dewey via John Foster Dulles, to submit his views. And what comes of iti A lot of wind about whether Mir Dulles should have motored tc Washington Who gives single tarnation whether MT, Dulles got to Washington riding broomstick or piggy-back on Gov. Bricker9 What we yearn to know is what he said when he got there, what peace means to him and those he repre- sentS,
 The same goes for Mir, Hull though he hasn't been as secretiVe in his operations as his opponents would like you to believe Mir Dewey'S spellbinderS are bending the nations ears with claims of what c raeket-buster their champ | Is. Well. war is the biggest racket

of all. If he revels in busting them, here is a prize one to tear into And since a District Attorney works with evidence, talking turkey ought to be right down MT, Dewey's alley. So what's delaying the tur- keyp Mir. Dewey could cure the hysteria of his Comniy cooked ad- herents by outlining 0 plan that that would prevent the Reds from getting the winners share of the world.
 Incidentally, the COP, with the lions share of the press on the party'S side, didn't offer to split their papers when they hollered for e heavier helping from the networks Fairs fair, but whats the sense of carrying 1t to silly extremesP

Sgt. V. V. Woodruff, of West
Jefferson, is doing fine job of
orienting boys from all over the
United States into Army life, at
Camp Barley, Texas, according
to a letter recently received from
Bruce Frame of New Jersey. He
writes, "Sgt. Woodruff is doing
a swell job, and believe me this
is a big, important job. I am
from New Jersey and am proud
to say that he knows no favorites.
Of course he is keeping a watch
full eye on some of the home
boys. Among those who are here
and doing a fine job of being real
soldiers are James Hare, who
can take a 25-mile hike with a
full pack and still feel good. This
may seem easy for a person to
say, but for a fellow who has
worked inside it is quite good.
Guy T. Badger also has a good
report to make. He has picked up
a little in weight (25 pounds).
Both of these boys are proud to
be in Uncle Sans forces. All
three are credit to West Jeffer-
son."

and fast basketball. Grogan, of
Elkland, was the outstanding
player on the floor for the losers
while Farmer led the Lansing Of
fensive.
The boys game was also we'll
played but described by one
spectator as "a little rough.
Dolinger, Patton and Co., led
most of the way, but in the final
quarter, the visitors, led by
Graham, started a last-period
squirt, which fell short of victory.

Elkland, %. Nineteen personal
fouls were called during the
game.
A large number of spectators
viewed the contests, despite the
heavy rain and muddy roads.
