travellers have become super
patriots and so apparently
abandoned their earlier obnOx-
iOus activities. What their role
will be after the war IL won
remains to be seen :"
Mr.. Straus makes the further
point that Senator Coudert's
speech before the American
Legion was a campaign speech
and not a "nonpartisan patriotic
talk" Is this a campaign
speech or is il patriotism?
$50 long as we Americans are
agreed upon the fundamental
values of American life and
government, we can freely con-
tinue I'm the traditional Amer
lean fashion to hammer out
American solutions to our more
perplexing problems on the an
vii Of free and honest debate.
But we cannot do this IL we do
not trust each other, II minori-
ties with concealed purposes are
allowed to obfuscate and con-
fuse public thinking. That Ii
why We must relegate these
noisy and determined minorities
to the sidelines Of tho American
scene, by continually exposing
them for what they are and
sending allen troublemakers
back home :"
Why should any man have
the right to determine what
shall be spoken over the air
waves which are the property
of the whole American people
and to which he has only a
licensees right?
The public can and must pro-
tect free speech in America.

WASHINGTON SCENE

per that he was thinking Of
founding a new organization 10
he known as the S. F. T. n. G.
+. ~. T. r.
On being pressed for the full
name OF the organization Mr..
Bromfeld said il was:
Tho Society for Taking No
Gun from Nellie Tayloe Ross"
DRECIOUS Jewels of pure rea-
L soning were tossed back and
forth. For instance, a group OF
eager-eyed devotees arose back
OF the press box and began
chanting:
I'VE want Wallace"
They seemed quite non
plussed when a sour-visaged
journalist turned from his type
writer and snarled:
What in hell for"
This same group made one
more attempt at yipping I'VE
want Wallace" but gave up
when another reporter yelled
"Will you settle for arsenic?"
THEN there is this one. which
Il l must handle delicately. as

ger al a delegate who was hav-
ing fun away from home.
This certain delegate was
due 70 make a seconding speech
but when his turn came they
discovered he was somewhat
stiff from swilling. His COL
leagues hurriedly rifled his
pockets and found his prepared
speech.
II was handed up TO Emory
Frazier. reading clerk of the
Senate, who read il of.
The vast assemblage never
knew the dfference-the stiff
will no doubt be glad TO learn.
I HAPPENED TO be passing
i the Michigan delegation while
the favorite son nominating
was at its height and overheard
a lady delegate mutter:
IL am so tired of favorite
sons I'm about ready to call
them some other kind Of sons"
She probably meant native
sons.
There was also a beautiful
episode when one delegation got
into an argument over admit
ting a would-be lady delegate.
Most members of the delega-
tion were in favor Of admitting
the lady but the chairman pro-
tested:

growth Of bone, the age at
which the bones are laid down
Is the same
TilS phenomenon of basic
l. growth is controlled largely
by two of the ductless glands
the thyroid and pituitary. Their
influence is exerted on the bones
and can be seen and adjudged
by the x-ray.
Parents who know a little
smattering of this by having
read some OF the popular &C.
counts of the ductless glands in
current literature are always
fussing and wondering whether
10 give one or the other of their
children some gland extracts 10
make il grow or 10 stop II grow
ing, or 10 make il thin OF fat,
as the case may be.
There is just a grain or two
OF reason in these ideas, enough
TO make them worth considera-
ton in some cases. but such
treatment should be given or
withheld in accordance with
full knowledge of the subject
and common sense.
IN THE first place, slight de-
i Wations from the rigid pat
tern which / have laid down are
not OF consequence and should
not be interfered with by arti-
fictal feeding OF gland extracts
One boy may shoot up and
seem 10 be all legs.
Undoubtedly there is for
time in his body an over-secre-
ton of the pituitary. but before
long Nature gets control and
slows the pituitary down and he
winds up normal. average pat
tern.
Or this other one is definitely
short and doesn't grow rapidly
in the growth time period OF
adolescence.
Very likely the thyroid has
slowed up.
But then old Mother Nature
wakes up and gives the thyroid
a jog and the little fellow sud-
denly within a year catches up
with all his companions of the
same age.
These experiences are so COM
mon that you can see examples
OF them around you every day.

THESE DAYS

THE radio station WMCA has
l. been in lots of difficulties. II
was in the investigation Of this
station that Eugene Carey,
counsel for the Cox committee,
met his Waterloo, because he
found so much there that was
unsavory that he was forced TO
resign.
This station is now in the
possession of Nathan Straus
who has been administrator of
the Federal Housing Authority.
He has seen fit TO edit an adj
dress that was to have been de-
livered by State Senator Fred
eric r. Coudert before the
American Legion of New York
County.
Mr.. Straus' reason apparently
was that Senator Coudert's
speech denounced our ally,
Soviet Russia" which is untrue.
have the original speech be-
fore me and there is not sim
gle word in it which attacks or
denounces Soviet Russia.
There is an attack and de-
nunciation of communism and
fascism in the United States
which is very different.
LIE TRIED to say over the
II radio, and was censored, the
following:
I'VE cannot afford to be COM
placent about the activities of
such groups. whether Commu-
mist or Fascist. A determined
and resourceful minority can
accomplish the impos
against an unprepared and un-
suspecting people. Only q tiny
fraction of the Russian people
belonged to that bolshevik
group which put over the 1917
revolution. That tiny fraction
fastened its iron grip upon
170,0O0,00O Russians the
pattern of Mussolini's Fascist
revolution In Italy was undoubt-
eddy similar"
Mr.. Straus' view seems to be
that if an American is 10 accept
Stain as the leader of an heroic
ally he must also accept the
American politics of Earl
Browder and Sidney Hillman.
CINCE when is an American to
~ be prevented from saying on

Coudert's;

offense in wartime going
AWOL is only different from
desertion in degree. 1t depends
on the intent and the circum-
stances. In a battle area it's
desertion, or if a man is obvi-

can be death penalty offense,
of course.

inconsistencies or responsibility.

Censorship on Anzio
Dispatches

WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.-Office
of War Information Director Davis
announces he is making representa-
tions to the Army against stoppage
of direct filing OF press dispatches
from the Anzio beachhead in Italy.
Davis indicated plainly he felt
the action went entirely beyond the
acknowledged necessity of "preserv-
ing military security"
Asked by reporters if he thought
the public was getting full and
rapid coverage, Davis retorted:
"They certainly have not been get
ting very much"
The statements followed reports
the Allied Command has banned
for use on the spot" of radio ia
cilities by news correspondents
covering the Anzio beachhead fight
ing, declaring that news copy must
be carried by courier service and
censored at base headquarters. The
new policy. it was said is made for
security purposes. British military
leaders, it is said. demanded the
delayed censorship
Back Of this move, it is said the
Command in Italy has been caused
annoyance by inference of some
correspondents that the beachhead
campaign was developing as another
Tobruk or Dunkerque.
