SOMETHING IN RETURN

There is a growing feeling that, with the American Army now bear ing the brunt of the fighting, the pressing need for Lend-Lease to both England and Russia is dim finishing and that, before We turn over Lend-Lease goods for British re-expcrt, We should get something in return-such as pledge that Britain will revise it's policies in Greece, Italy, Belgium and Ethi- opia, where British imperialism has kept those countries in a political ferment.
 While the United States is not directly interested in the politics of Greece, Italy and Belgium, it is an unfortunate fact that we are getting part of the blame for British policy-because U. s. arms and Lend-Lease munitions are used by the British in these areas.

The Congressman concerned couldn't any reason for spending any more millions at the present time because it would simply be duplicating investigations and reports upon every conceivable topic which would be of interest to poten tia settlers enterprisng commercial interests , The Library of Congress the committees report went to point out is full of reports and reports Alaska.
 One Congressman even had the nerve to suggest that it might be helpful to open another land office rather than set a high-powered commission to go gallivantng Alaska, holding hearings and getting the people disturbed"
 Some of the Congressman also probably wondered at the Interior Departments request for such huge sum while at the time the Department seems to be dscouraging new investment and prospective settlers Alaska handle than 2,000 families in the immediate postwar era.

 He was asked:
 Isn't the Department of the Interior unpopular in Alaska? How about the Alaskan Legislatures vote of 24 to 1 condemnng the Departments attitude and pocy?" (The figures on the vote aren't ours)
 He was also asked if there wasn't fewer people in the Matanuska Valley development since the Interior Department became the landlord.

Capitol usher were required to kick back part of their salaries to Kle- berg's officeD
 The new appropriation also per- mits the payment of $5,O00 year to one clerk, whereas the present salary limit for one individual is $3,9O0 This may increase nepo- tism. Many Congressmen put their wives or relatives on the payroll sometimes with the wife more than earning her salary, but frequently with the wife or relative absent from the office most of the time Mrs. Martin Dies, for instance, wife of the Congressman from Texas, is drawing $500 a year but has not been in Washington for perhaps half of the Congressional term. Under the new provision, she could get $5,000-only Martin won't be back here any more.
 However, with Congressional sal aries low and living expenses up, this sort of nepotism sometimes is almost essential if a Congressman does not have an outside income.
 NOTE = Economy minded Con- gressman Jack Cochran, chairman of the House Accounts Committee, is supporting this new provision for increasing the allowance for Congressional clerk hire. It is also being supported by the leaders of both parties. Cochran planned his strategy in consultation with Speaker Sam Rayburn and Repub- lican Leader Joe Martin after the provision had been proposed by Representative Leo Allen of Illi- nois, ranking Republican on the Accounts Committee.

AID FOR CONGRESS

The deficiency bill before the House of Representative carries an innocent-looking provision for in- creasing the Congressional allow ance for clerk hire from $6,500 per year to $9,500.
 This is an indirect method of giving a slight salary lift to Congressmen.
 Actually, Government exper outside of Congress long have recognized that Congressional sal aries are too low. With the cost of living up, with campaign expenses increased, and with other wages throughout the country upped, Congressional salaries remain sta tionary. Few Congressmen can live and support a family on what they get from Uncle Sam alone.
 But you can hardly find one scared legislator willing to whisper about a salary boost, in view of the furore which broke forth through out the country several years ago when a pension for Congressmen was voted.
 That is the reason for the in- creased appropriation for clerk hire. Actually, though the boost is deserved, it will probably mean more nepotism or more salary kick backs from clerks. (Kick- backs were what defeated Con- gressman Kleberg of Texas, owner of Americas largest ranch, when this columnist disclosed that two l2-year-old page boys and one

FRIDAY. DECEMBER IS

FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is
 Venus in benefic aspect domi- mates today, which should be es- pecially fortunate for theatres and other places of amusement.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under the happiest of influences, encouraging hospitality and holi- day preparations. It is a lucky date for love affairs but girls are warned against sudden marriages. Nasty wooing is indicated as one of the Christmas week pastimes but the stars presage for 1945 an increase in the number of divorces.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Tempta- ticns to sell ones war bonds and thus to increase the holiday budget should be overcome. Extravaganza is prognosticated for countless families that are affected by a sense of life's uncertainties. This war complex means large profits for merchants, especially furriers and jewellers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Educators, clergymen and other thinkers will emphasize the difference between physical and intellectual pleasures as they seek to inspire a desire for mentally satisfying entertainments. The stars presage for the future national popularity of good music, stage plays and lectures or forums which will attract the young.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Even after Germany is defeated and Nazism is apparently plotted out, the seers foresee an amazing line of enemy effort. Secretly the war lords will continue to plot and famous astrologer predicts a movement to restore the monarchy The spirit of the Kaiser still marches on. this seer believes.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ups and downs with good luck prevail ing, Caution is urged in all prop erty matters.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be independent, romantic and affectionate. Many may have unusual artistic talents but slight business aptitude.

concluded an arrangement with Nelson Rockefeller, naive newly- appointed Assistant Secretary of State, for the weekly purchase of thousands of copies of her paper, to be distributed among French speaking people in Latin America.
 Because of the Rockefeller sub- sidy, thousands of Frenchmen got the impression that what Tabouis wrote represented the official view of the U. s. on the French situa- tion and this has led to confusion and mystery below the Rio Grande.
 Some Congressmen who have heard of the Tabouis- Rockefeller arrangement wonder how we are able to spare newsprint for anti de Gaullist propaganda in Latin America while rationing newsprint to publishers in the United States.

Here S a WAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 24-It Is
generally agreed that all sports
will enjoy an unprecedented boom
after the war and plans are
already being made to take care
of an era that will surpass the
1920s. long known as the golden
age of sport.
You might suppose that young.

And that brings us to the point
Of this piece, namely, that sport
may do more than medicine in
keeping the nation young. In fact.
II there is enough sane and active
participation in sport, there is
little need for medicines.
BELLE THEIR YEARS
Let's look around a little. Here
we find Connie Mack. now well
into his eighties, planning on
building up his Athletics. not only
for next year, but into another
pennant winner several years
hence.
Mind you. he's in the Sos! You
won't find a smarter, more alert
old or young man anywhere, and
bear In mind that he has been

go years.
Do you know any cagier or
far-seeing men than Ed Barrow.
the brains Of the Yanks. or Clark
Griffith OF the Senators. both of
whom have seen three-quarters
of a century roll by, and I'd still
put bet on Ed against any truck
driver in rough and tumble
scrap.
Every sport has youngsters like
these who can still teach some
of the newer generation a few
tricks. Like Alonzo Stage. for
instance. Stage has been coaching
football for more than half CEN
fury. but he still can find his way
around a gridiron.
AND MATT VIM
Matt VIM has seen every one
OF the 70 Kentucky Derbys to
date and he is looking forward
as enthusiastically as ever 10
staging the next run for the roses.
Racing devotees never seem TO
grow old. Willie Obert, who Is
so. still is a jockey after so years
in the saddle. and there are others
who have been around almost as
long and are still active.
Golfers. Of course. seem 10 90
on forever. There are men in
their nineties-yes, nineties-still
playing the game as enthusiast
cally as ever and cussing their
luck as much as they ever did
They even have tournaments
where no kid under 70 may COM
pete.
Probably the Oldest pro tourna-
ment golfer now is Walter Hagen,
who has been competing for IS
years or more.
Or. II you fancy your tennis
playing. how would you like TO
tackle big Bill Tilden. now in his
fifties, and who has been pound
inc courts all over the world for
IS years? Indeed, how many men
in the world can beat Bill today?
And Les Patrick. who is Mr..
Hockey himself. is still the smart
est, shrewdest ice coach in the
game, and although he has long
since passed the half century
mark. he still works out with his
Rangers.
We could 60 on like this for
hours. but these are enough 10
indicate that II you want TO stay

included among the modern i'm

may be some consolation to the
