Letter To Marty
(PERSONAL)

Mr.. Marty Loughman
Go Barflies Union, Local 387i9G
Sacramento, Calf.
Dear Marty:
Your wire received just in time to
keep us from heading for the tall
timber We have received so many
threats from disgruntled subscribers
when your letters failed to appear
we were afraid to face them again
without one.
Not much news in the old town
esince you went away Or maybe we
don't have a nose for news like the
boss. Not that our nose is small.
CT fails to work any time somebody
opens up keg of beer-but it isn't
much help in locating news. Any
way our jefe will be back next week
and will no doubt again put out a
paper worth writing home about.
To keep you up to date on inside
dope-about the only hot items con-
Germ the fire department. Their
news is always hot.
Guess you read where our poor,
overworked firemen are soon to be
relieved from desk sergeant duty for
the police force I once read of a
college football player who received
$50 month for winding an electric
clock to keep him on the team.
Mr.. Lough1nan, you are smart and
honest man. so please tell me true:
Is the city hiring desk sergeants to
protect the amateur standing of our
firemen?
This more or less knocks your
proposed race for mayor in the
head. About the only plank you
could have in your platform at this
late date is promise to pad the
doorstep in front of the police sta
ton where the fire boys spend most
of their waking hours. You might
lalso promise to erect one of those
automatic hands like truck drivers
use to signal directions with, SO the
firemen wouldn't have to use up
their strength and energy waving at
/ passersby
Marty, you know the old saying
"If a dog bites man it amt news
but if man bites a dog-that' s
news Well, sir, Nog'ales has 9
fireman who should be in headlines
Instead of matching your dos
against Durling's pooch, it woulc
be more sensational to put her uI
against Al Camerlin.
We generally think of dogs having
an extraordinary sense of smell, but
Nogales international., 1944-07-28

Al has several times shifted fires
before the alarm was turned in. I'll
bet neither your nor Durling's dog
could do that With a little prac-
tice, I'd lay money on the line that
AL could scare up more coveys of
quail at a field meet than any can
inc competitor.
Your friend Bookas was in again.
You have said SO many hard things
about him in your column he was
deeply touched last week when you
started off your note to him with
Dear Andy" I showed him in the
next sentence where you mentioned
go or 10 thousand dollars and re-
minded him you are always very
polite when talking about money
like saying please when asking
the bank for loan and they reply
ing with equal politeness by saying,
mo sir!''
Andy couldn't understand the part
where you asked: "Well, can you get
up purse to back our dog?"
lie said he knew how he got his
part of the 30 or 40 thousand dol
lars, but he doesn't understand how
he became part owner of the dog.
I told him that old joke-you know
which one-and then he got it.
In parting, I warned Bookas that
if he followed your recommendation
and bet cash money on the dog, the
note you wrote him might touch his
pocketbook as well as his heart.

all Greek to me.

History Repeating Itself

History has a CURIOUS habit Of repeating itself.
Twenty four years ago Republican candidate Tor
the Presidency eager to avoid anagonlzng the large
proportion of the electorate that favored partcl
patton in the effort to protect civilization against
repetition of the First World War, emphatlcally
promised the citizens that when he was elected we
would join such effort.
So definite was the promise that thirty odd Re-
publicans-the intellectual leaders of the party
among them Charles Evans Hughes, joined in assur-
ing America that the way to get us into the League
of Nations was to elect Warren u. Harding.
Harding was not picked by reason of any qualifi-
cations or record beyond that he geographically
the most available individual from political stand
point ...s~4-'% ~~--~ ~~ 81"
Once in the White House, though Charles Evans
Hughes was his Secretary of State, the League of
Nations project was thrown out of the window and
we reverted to the isolationism of the COP. old
guard.
Now we have another Republican candidate, Of
the same complexion. He isolationist; he
inveighed against our diplomatic recognition of Rus
sia. He declared that lend-ease which made possible
the Russian advance and the salvation of Great Brit
ain possible, threatened every American liberty. Like
his forerunner he sensed that the sentiment Of the
country demanded that the blunder Of generation
ago must not be repeated Thereupon he began to
veer with the popular wind untat Chicago, when it
came time for nomination, he able to indorse a
platform which, though full of weasel words and iWo
track phrases might still be capable Of Interpretation
in gobalcooperation sections meaning something.
1t may be, as put by the pro-Dewey New York
Daily News and its brother the Washington Times
Herald that "a party platform is document Of dub
Gus Importance at best but whether the platform is
meant to be Of consequence not the circumstance
that the candidate ndorses it has ought to have
some significance ~@e~
Still, as Governor Deweys prototype of gener
alton ago demonstrated, a promise cuts no ice when
prediction or expediency urges. ~r> -
It may be noticed that the advocates Of the Re-
publican candidate waste time in analyzng their
mans capacity for the big job, being content, as
Governor Warren of California was to point out the
faults and flaws and general unworth Of the Demo-
Gratis. In practice and knowledge of the matters with
which the Presidency is concerned various aspirants
eligible for the Chicago conventions favor were
available. Bricker, Willkie and Senator Taft, for
example, head and shoulders in experience above
the chosen one, but what the party sought was not
the best President but the best candidate and the
mantle went, almost by default, to the whom
they thought the only Wk2 stood even re-
mote chance of carrying the pivotal state Of New
York. His record as a vote-getter which Won him
the nomination at Chicago, rests on his accidental
election to the Governorship because of split in the
Democratic forces and the third ticket Of the Ameri-
can Labor party.

The campaigns director, June
H. Rose Of Greenville, has an
nounced the goal as four pounds
of clothing and one pair of shoes
for every school child in North
Carolina. No money will be raised,
Rose said.
Superintendent and principals
of schools throughout the state are
directing collection by their pu-
pills. Clothing collected will be
taken to local Russian war relief
centers, expressed to headquarters

there to war-ravaged areas of Rus.

Rose explained that 10000, 900
Russian men, women, and chill
dren have been stripped of their
belongings by the Nazi invaders
and that clothing is desperately
needed by most of the people in
recaptured sections.
"All of u.s." Rose said, should

ST. MARY'S WILL
be- IMPROVED SOON

RALEIGH, N. c., April 30.-tF'-
The board of trustees Of Saint
Mary's school and junior college.
an institution owned and operated
by the five Episcopal dioceses Of
North and South Carolina, an
nounced today an extensive mod
ernization program to be started
shortly after the close Of the war.
The program is designed ana
timed to improve the future use
fitness of the college as an edu-
cational institution and to provide
work during the reconversion pc
Rod following the war, Bishop Ed
win A. Penick, president of the
board, said.
he program includes the repair
and rehabilitation of present build
ings, which will start at on e.
landscaping the grounds, estab-
lishment of additional endow-
ments, and the erection Of addi-
tional buildings in the immediate
postwar period.
Bishop Penick said the program
was planned in 1912 the centen-
NAL year OF Saint Mary's, but the
board decided then to defer it I'M
til such time as ultimate victory
in the war seemed assured.
Victory now seems assured"
Bishop Penick said, land victory
and peace requires that America
build it's educational institutions to
meet new needs, that schools and
colleges join with business, gov
eminent and other institutions in
helping to bring about normalcy
after the war by doing their bit
to provide work for war workers
and soldiers as their wartime re-
sponsibilities cease"
The program has no intention Of
changing the atmosphere of the
college, obtained in more than 100
years of service to the girls Of
the south, Bishop Penick said. Nor
does it contemplate the enlarge
rnent of the school capacity.
Rather, he concluded, the program
intends to help maintain and en-
nance the colleges atmosphere and
capacity, and add greater comfort
and utility for future Saint Nary
girls.

What About Russia?
Do not quote me as making any
of these recommendations l mere

how modern youth is thinking and
to urge readers to give more at
tention to the "crazy' ideas of
our young people. They are the
ones that will determine what will
happen to the national debt and
to every stock and bond. I do not
say that youths have better judg-
menr than their parents; nor that
they are less likely to change their
mir d.. AL I say is that our re-
turning service men should be bet
ter able to forecast the future.
Many people worry as to what
extent the Russian shadow is to
fall upon this country, especially
during the next depression. They
see Russian becoming such a world
power that they fear she will Rus
sianize Europe and England and
that the effects of this will ulti.
mately be felt in America. This
certainly seems reasonable; but

that these bonds might at times

tices last night in taking a 22-0
drubbing from the Philadelphia Ea-
giles in charity game.
The Eagles, rushed over three
touchdowns in the initial period,
one on an 81-yard punt return by
Jack Banta, and added safety in
the third period when Bob Thurbon,
Chi-Pitt back, was tackled behind
his own goal.
The losers couldn't get going after
that disastrous first period, and as
the game unwound found themselves
Ihopelessly mired by soggy field and
bristling Philadelphia defense. 1t
may have been a costly victory for
the Eagles, who lost Ernie Steele by
an injury.
Jack Hinkle scored the first touch
down nine plays after the opening
kickoff and Mel Bleeken tailed the
third, eliminating a 62-yard march.
