A Great Team

we are the only two peoples in the world who could have done it" says Eng lands General Montgomery of the Anglo American planning and accomplishment of the invasion.
 The general is probably right. Other anti-Axis nations quarrel with each other, and within their own boundaries. Brit ish and American policies and diplomacy don't always jell. But the two armies have fought as one-from Tunisia to Normandy. And General Montgomery gives credit where credit is obviously due ito General Eisenhower.
 Through the long pre-invasion months i've" to General Ike. Any American officer who couldn't work with his Brit ish colleagues was sent packing By such methods General Eisenhower showed that he was great enough coach to put to- gether the greatest team in the world

Hate and Fear

An American correspondent repatrlated from German prison camp reports that Nazi propaganda for domestic consump- tion is now aimed at building up fierce, consuming hatred of Americans. He offers examples, among them the follow ing, from Berlin newspaper, by Nazi labor boss Robert Ley: Hate! Hate! Hate! Every German must hate the gang sterS, the murdererS, the assassins who come from the center of world Jewry and capitalism-the United States of Ameri- ca" Nazi propaganda has had its effec- tive moments. It sold the German peo- pie a hopped-up, sadistic, pseudo-mythol- ogical bill of goods. But this example seems hardly worthy of a race Gas they prefer to be known) which has produced good share of the worlds influential philosophers and perceptive analysts of human behavior. It must seem awfully transparent to any German who still practices the forbidden pleasure of think ing for himself
 The fact that we hate what we fear was one of mans earlier psychological dis coverieS And surely the thinking Ger man can see in these hySterical exhorta- tionS to hatred that fear of another great power has gripped the official Nazi heart. It is very encouraging to be hated by Nazi Germany. First France and England were the villains, then England alone, then Russia - on, what an ogre Russia was, and the stronger she became, the more dreadful Bolshevism appeared. Now the United States is strong enough to be the target of howls and snivels. The typical Nazi is typical bully. That is safe, proved generality He first tries to intimidate weaker opponent with struts, scowls, and frightening screams When he has assured himself that the return blow won't hurt, he strikes. But if the return blows begin to smart, he suddenly assumes the injured look of out ragged innocence and accuses his former victim of villainies to match his own.
 Nazi propaganda tells the people that we treat German prisoners as "Supermen" and "guests," !" feeding them good food and ice cream cone. To a hungry Berliner in the soup line, that may seem more like prosperous strength than softness. Nazi pFopaganda says that we are money.

FATHER KELLY's MILEPosTs
(Hartford Times)

Sponsored chiefly by members of his own parish, the testimonial din- ner to the Rev. Andrew J. Kelly, of St. Anthony's church, offered fit- ting opportunity for his colleagues and friends to take note of the thirtieth anniversary of his ordina- ton to the priesthood and the twenty-fifth anniversary as pastor of St. Anthony's church.
 As pastor of Hartford's Italian parish for a quarter century, Father Kelly is part and parcel of the throbbing, congested life on the East Side. His vigorous personality fitted him for a difdcult task. Steeped in Italian history and culture, Father Kelly is completely at home in an Italian parish and has the affec- tion and loyalty of his people.
 Father Kelly's active, fearless. un- compromising personality could not be held in the confines of a single parish and he has become known al an out-spoken churchman on many a public question of ethics and re- ligion. If some did not agree witt

anyone around Capitol Hill about his coming forensic offering at Chicago. Governor Stassen, key noter in 1940, made a hit by com- ing to Washington and talking things over, so Republican sena- tors are a bit peeved at Warren. It was significant that the Republican Congressmen voted en masse to cut the UNRRA Eu- ropean relief appropriation only after consulting Dewey's New York State mogul, Russel Sprague. Sprague came to Washington, huddled with the GOPers. Then they voted to cut the UNRRA fund .. Several COP Vice Presidential boomlets are testing the wind: --Bin Hutcheson, head of the AFL carpenters union, who hates FDR and teams with John L. Lewis; U s. Chamber of Com merce chief Eric Johnston; Illi- nois Congressman Everett Dirk . sen. The last-named has the most strength Buffalo's Re- publican Representative Mruk &C., cuses Dewey's right bower, Ed -Jaeckle, of being a political dic- tator. Because Mruk voted for Roosevelt's soldier-vote bill, Jaeckle won't let him run for re- election.

 NOT SUCH GOOD NEIGHBORS Insiders have known for some time what Dr. Hernane Tavares blasted loose last week-that Good Neighbor relations with La- tin America were slipping. The slip started when Sumner Welles got out of the State Depart ment. He had a sixth sense about Pan-American good will, watched the little things, such as the speech Secretary Knox almost made tell- ing Brazil how we were going to keep Brazilian bases after the war. Lend-Lease and Rockefeller propaganda won't buy friendship. Friendship is a job you have to work at Brazilian Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha has talk en advantage of U. s. failure to lead by becoming the new leader of Latin America. He has put Brazil into the one-time position of the U. s. A. What gripes Latirs most is talk of our keeping troops on their soil after the war. They let U. s. troops on their soil as a matter of courtesy but, after the war, they want 'em off. All the boats and guns in the Hemi- sphere won't buy those bases. .

Theme Song

Looking at the pictures of Nazi war prisoners in English port towns, we were wondering if the boys still remember "We Sail Against England" - that invasion song they learned four years ago. And if they do, we wonder if maybe their faith isn't a bit shaken in the sort of military strategy that first composes theme song for cross-channel attack and then never goes any farther.

It was a rare experience to me an experience which I now share with thousands of American fiiers who have flown transports and combat planes across the Atlantic via Greenland.
 Mountains rise along the coasts to 11,00O feet. Between lies valley full of centuries-old ice and snow, estimated 10000 feet in depth.
 Stretches to Horizon
 Today the sky was clear, the sun bright. The icecap stretched as far as one could see, seemingly soft and inviting. Rocky peaks jutted above the surface irregularly here and there.
 But often the icecap is shrouded in clouds and snow, beneath which the rocky mountains turk menac- ingly for all fliers. Many distressed fiiers have landed safely on the icecap, only to face the dangers of hidden crecasses, thousands of feet deep, covered with film Of treacherous snow which partluu- lary menace the inexperienced
 BW-1, the southern Greenland base we just left, and BE-2, the east coast base we have just flown over, are both located between jagged rocky mountains at the head of fjords, dangerous to land on un- less weather is clear.
 This hard country fiercely chal- lenged fliers back in 1941 and 1942, hopping the Atlantic above the Sumbarine menace.
 Flying Dangers Beaten
 Now the challenge has been met, by technicians and resourceful f1iers. Hundreds of combat planes have flown this way monthly in comparative safety. They must make shorter jumps than the big trans ports. About 25 planes all told have crashed on or near Greenland in the last two years. Col. James E. Pratt, Denver, Col, commander of the Greenland base Commando, esti- mated, and 90 per cent rescues have been made Only one plane definite ly known to have gone down was not found.
 Greenland has been beaten, thanks partly to a chain of weather stations, permitting accurate weather forecasts. Flights are not undertaken in unfavorable wealth CT. A series of fields provide alter nate landings. There are numerous radio range stations ard other radio aids. Finally. planes, boats, dogsleds. motorsleds and experi- enced personnel stand by for res- cue work They can even jerk an individual of the ice by a sling like a glider, though this has yet not been necessary.
 Reassured by this knowledge. my only sensation was enjoyment as our huge four motored Air Trans port Command Douglas plane rose from BW-1 shortly after daylight
 As We climbed from the fjord the rising sun, behind the noun tains to the east, emblazoned the fringe of clouds hanging close to their crest a fiery red, as if some giant hand had strung the ridge for miles with neon lights.

POSTAL BILL
 AGAIN TABLED
By JOHN L. CUTTER United Press Staff COrreSpOnden

NOcu AECoS obaH OOEEcSpOnuenLD
 Washington, Dec. 20-CUP)-The 7Sth Congress faded into history today, it's scheduled work not quite completed because too many mem bers chose to get early starts on their Christmas vacations.
 Ironically, it was a bill to increase wages of postal workers $1O0 a year that remained as unfinished busi- ness when the Congress-which had appropriated nearly $200 ,00O, 900, 900 during it's two years of existence adjoured sine die last night.
 The postal bill had been approved by the house and was the final business in the senate before ad- journment was planned. But the chamber became embroiled in a parliamentary argument and Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo, raised the point that a quarum of 49 Sen- RtorS was not present.
 The roll was called and only 3S Senators answered. Senate Demo- cratic Leader Alben ". Barkley. Ky, had two alternatives-to round up the absentees or move to ad- journ. He chose adjournment. The house had quit more than an hour earlier with barely 20 membrs on hand.
 The next Congress - the 18th - convenes Jan. 3. In it the Demo- crats will enjoy far greater num- erical majority than in the session just completed.
 Before quitting last night the Senate finished the principal task which kept it in session beyond last weeks tentative adjournment dead line-conflrmation of six top State Department nominations. It let die, because of a dispute over exempting the Central Valley in California from an acreage limit on govern ment irrigation projects. the $500,- 100000 postwar rivers and harbors improvements program.
