London Paper Sees Pacific
Command for Eisenhower
sy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-The London
Daily Mail said today that appoint
ment of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
as commander in chief for the COM
bined Allied assault on Japan is one
of the decisions likely to be made
by Prime Minister Churchill and
President Roosevelt at the. Quebec
conference. ..
The newspaper declared appoint
ment of Gen. Eisenhower would be
"a foregone conclusion but for the
fact that operations against Japan
on lines being laid down in Quebec
may begin. before his work in Eu.
rope is completed"

In connection with the possibility
of continued talks between Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill aftel
the formal close of this conference
called to seal Japan's military fate
1t was recalled that last year aftel
meeting at Quebec the two went tt
Washington, where they received
word Of Italy's capitulation.
Reporters asked Mr.. Early about
a report published in the Montrea
newspaper lie Canada saying thai

is flying to Rome. was on peace
mission to the Vatican and prob.
ably bore a message from Mr.. Roose.
welt and Mr.. Churchill.
That's news to me-" Mr.. Early
replied.
Other Canadian newspapers have
said the purpose Of the cardinals
trip was to make his regular five-
year report to the Pope.
At an afternoon press conference
yesterday, Mr.. Early off1cially con,
firmed that questions of a new or q
super command for the Pacific wal
theater are not-"and won't be-
involved in the current Roosevelt
Churchill conference. Mr.. Early said
the Pacific command matter was
settled in advance of Quebec, but
would not answer further ques-
tions on the time Of decision, the
H1ce Sfs character.
Nhen "a reporter quoted Gov
Th0mass E. Dewey, the Republican
candidate, as inferrine
that Gen. Douglas Macarthur
should be the Allied overall COM
mander in the Pacific. and suggest
ing that Gen. Macarthur has been
suppressed" in the past, Mr.. Early
had no comment"
Gov. Dewey's actual words were
that Gen. Macarthur should be
given Greater scope and recogni-
ton" Ia the Pacific. s.

Speaking of the present arrange
ment, Mr.. Van Duzer said:
This arrangement is not satisfac-
tory because the drivers view of the
signals ahead is often obstructed by
the tops of trucks or buses and be-
cause the pedestrian on one side OF
the street has no light to guide him
The present system is confusing and
dangerous because of tendency OF
some drivers to pass vehicles when
their view of the light ahead is OBJ
structed by moving or standing traf-
fic."
| No provision has been made in
the 1916 budget estimates for ci-
william defense.
In the hope Of priorities being
relaxed and to meet the needs of
an expanded population and catch
up on building delayed by the war,
many department heads have pre-
sented vastly increased construction
or capital outlay programs. These
programs call for new schools, re-
placement of existing schools, ex-
tension of sewers and store-water
systems, improvement of water serv-
ice to Anacotia, enlargement Of the
altering capacity of the Washing
ton aqueduct and new pediatrics
and laboratory buildings for GAL
linger Municipal Hospital, as well
as expansion of stats at Gallinger
and Glenn Dale Sanatorium.
Major capital outlay of depart
ments are: Schools, IS, 5,291 100; pub
lie library. $671 1856; street and
bridge division of Highway Depart
ment, $2,650,00O; refuse division,
$871 1867; sewer division, $1,751 ,108;
water division, 81 ,095,0 900, and aque-
duct, $594,000.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Several letters about odd names
have reached me lately. In one OF
these reader says:
"A relative of mine is named
Davenport, and he married young
woman named Couch. Can you
beat that?"
Another reader, Mrs. Helen Dick
inson, writes:
Il think you will be interested in
this little name story. My grand
mother, a widow, came over from
Scotland with sher two children.
Her name was Black.
After she reached this country,
she married a widower, Mr.. White.
Squire Brown married them and a
Mf Gray was one of the wit
neSses
Grandfather White set aside a
plot of ground on his farm as a
cemetery for neighbors and rela-
tives, and it came to be known as
the White cemetery. After many
years we found that part of it was
being used as a burial ground by
Negroes. Just who gave them per-
mission to do this, We never found
| out, but it was discontinued. So
now those of the different names
and color rest in the little hillside
spot"
My thanks to both of these read
ers for their interesting lines. The
second letter reminds me of the
fact that many families have names
of colors. We have most of the col
ors of the rainbow in such names.
4 In going over the telephone books
of five cities, found Brown to be
the most popular color for a family
name. Second came White, and a
strong third was Green.
/ Gray came fourth in number of
names in those cities and Black was
fifth.
4 Blue ranked sixth, but was not
nearly so common as the others /
have named. I found nine times as
many Blacks as Blues, and "a times
as many Browns as Blues.
! After Blue came the family name
of Pink. A DR.. Pink was listed, also
a DR.. Blue
I did not find a single family
named Red in those telephone
books, and not a single family
named Yellow. There were several
companies, however, using Red or
Yellow to start their names, one Of
these being the Red Hot Fish Stand.
There were II Lavender families
listed and five Orange families. A
lonesome name was Purple. In the
five telephone books I found only
one Purple family!
