CHURCHILL HALLS
AMERICAN POWER

LONDON, Nov. 90 R Prime
Minister Churchill, in a surprise
Thanksgiving speech to an Anglo
American audience tonight hailed
the United States as the world S
greatest military power a d de-
clared that together the Allies
were moving irresistibly land,
perhaps, with Gods aid, swiftly
towards victorious peace
Nearly 5000 people, including
many hundreds of American SER
vicemen, damned huge Albert hall
to hear gala concert dedicated
to the United States and its tradi-
tional holiday. The audience rose
and cheered when Churchill enter
ed a box to hear the program
conducted by John Barbirolli, for
mer1y conductor of the New York
Philharmonic Symphony orchestra,
and again when he mounted : flag
d,aped platform b h d which
hung huge portrait of Abraham
Lincoln.
The prime minister said Ameri-
cans never had more justification
for thanksgiving than today when
we see that in three of four years
tie United States h S, in sober
fact, become the greatest military,
naval and air power in the world.
"That, I say to you in this time

While the defense workers were
at the shipyard, where no general
holiday was observed, the women
of the community, assisted by Girl
Scouts, dispensed with the business
of Thanksgiving dinner for the boys
in service. many of whom were
away from home the first time.
Elsewhere in the city, h m S
were opened to visiting service
men, but most of the military per-
sonnet remained at their stations,
for the military bill of fare yester-
day was superior to most of those
offered by civilian hosts, hit by
wartime shortages.

Brilliant and daring though our successes at sea and on the islands have been and are, none of the in- formed naval and military people here is talking about any early peace.
 The job ahead is big and tough. It will be costly in American lives and goods and money. Only those who have no conception of the task ahead will indulge in glib and self-righteous attacks on our allies. It's a terrific assignment-beating Japan on her home islands and in the vast expanse of Asia.
 UNITED PRESS reported from London the War Office wants sim pier writing: end for termination, help for facilitate, etc. The instruc- tiOns, however, read: ''Nothing is more conducive to long-winded and stiIted writing than the use of a formal, pedantic, or polysyllabic substitute for natural word of expression"

Or TheScene In
 Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick

At this season, traditionally Americans pause in their gripping about poor quality and high prices. This is the period of Thanksgiving. despite the shortage of turkey and guys who'll admit they thought Buster had chance.
 AS long as memory serves, your correspondent recalls the old hymn Count All Your Blessings" It's a pleasant duty, this time.
 Consider the U. s. Senate. Par ticularly think about its foreign re- latiOns committee, the kingpin in the pattern of legislative machinery that will say yea or nay to FDR's plan of postwar international CO., operation for peace.
 When the 79th Congress convenes i'll January, there will be five vacancies on the committee. Every one of the missing, ex-Senators was a pre-Pearl Harbor isolationist. Each was a bit ter, constant foe of Pres. Roosevelt.
 The roll of the defeated: Gerald r. Nye of North Dakota and James J. (Puddler Jim) Davis of Penn sylvania, both Republicans, and Guy W. Gillette, Iowa Democrat. Then there was Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri who lost out in the, Democratic primary, and Rob- ert Rice Reynolds, who elected not to face the music and retired voluntarily.
 Altogether it is a pleasant prospect to consider that the men who get the committee spots held by these iso1a- tlonists will be, unanimously, in favor Of working out problems with our vic torious allies and fighting for a just and durable peace.
 And over in the House of Repre- sentatives whatever became of the un-American Dies committee? :? Let's see: Martin himself ducked the issue by retiring with his fam ous (awk-ar-rk) sore throat. Joe Starnes of Alabama and John Cos tellO of California lost out in their state primaries. Rep. Fred E. Bus bey, Chicago Republican and as dangerous as any of the top trio, was swamped in the Roosevelt landslide. These men formed the vicious core of the Dies group in the House. Rep. Herman P. Eber- harter O., Pa.) was reelected, but he has been opposing the Dies tac- tic of smear for some time. Three others returned Nov. 7 played no outstanding role, seldom if ever attended ''hearings'' Dies called Reps. Wirt Courtney O., Tenn ). J. Parnell Thomas (R., N. J.) and Karl E. Mundt (R., s. D..
 One of the better jokes of the cam paign came from Hyde Park. It was the day of the election and Candidate Roosevelt, in an open touring car, stopped enroute to the town hall, at a local grammar school. The teacher shepherded out her flock of young sters. Squire Roosevelt made them a little speech, and concluded by saying

 To this cynical newsman standing nearby yapped, "Yeah, and maybe one Of 'em will be our NEXT president p
 Most opinion in Washington agrees that there will be changes in the Roosevelt Cabinet for Term w. And the most discussed change is in the spot now occupied by Mime. Frances Perkins, with lot of folks saying that Dr. John SteeIman, who has just recently resigned as direc-

tor of the cOnciliatiOn service, is likely candidate.
