Social Standard

There was a time when you could almost
judge a persons position and income by the
number of servants in his household But now
a proposal that maids be put on the priority
list, to relieve absenteeism in plants, has been
made by the Womens Advisory Committee of
the War Manpower Commission. If this goes
into effect there'll be an entirely new standard
by which to gauge social standing.
1t well may be that after July l. employ
ment offices will weigh requests for a maid
first by what the employer is doing to win
the war rather than by what she is prepared
to pay. And the amount of help family has
will indicate whether they're riveters or idle
rich.

Mustaches

Somebody figured out the other day that
Thomas E. Dewey, if elected, would be the
first nustached president in 80 years. That
is interesting as far as it goes, but it doesn't
90 far enough. After all, the subject of whis-
kers in the White House is not one to be
dismissed casually.
So, without splitting hairs over the matter,
we propose today to give you a somewhat
fuller exploration and Recommendation.
In the first place. it shuld be noted that
Mr.. Dewey's mustache is quite in the trad-
ton of his party For the first presidential
whiskers came to the White House the
chin Of the first Republican president Abra-
ham Lincoln Before that, the people of the
United States had elected smooth-faced presi-
from Washington to Buchanan. (Sideburns
don't count in our statistics).
Since Lincoln there have been dozen Re-
publican presidents, and three different Demo-
ocratic incumbents And a non-partisan total
shows that the smooth-faced chief executives
are in the minority to 8.
In fact until Woodrow Wilson started the
cIean=shaven vogue in 1912, whiskers of as
sorted sizes and colors had been familiar
sight at 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue except in
the administrations of Andrew Johnson and
William Mckinley.
There's no lodging the fact that whiskers
are pretty much of Republican prerogative.
Grover Cleveland was the first and only Dem
ocrat of the post-Lincoln period who didn't
give the barber carte blanche. He also was
the first president to confine himself to a
mustache. OF the 10 Republicans, eight were
either strangers to the razor or had only a
seraping acquaintance.
As to styles, the presidential whiskers may
be classified thus-chin whiskers Lincoln; full
boards, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison;
muAaches, Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt an,
Taft The mustaches might be subdivided as

Bonds and Ballyh00

At a bond rally of the New York Curb Ex-
change. Fred C. Moffatt, it's president, ex'
dressed the opinion that stark reports from
the battle fronts rather than "theatrlcals
should be the persuasive factor in the sale
of War Bonds
Manv will agree with him. There is GER
tainlv great deal of ncongruity in bond
selling promotion, ranging from the theme OF
wars full tragedy and horror to such ballyhoo
as three-way big league ball games and glorl-
fled bank-night auctions.
The Treasury department is known to de-
plore the bad taste of some bond-selling meth
ods Its own campaign for advertisers is in
variably dignified and it still believes that
individual solicitation is the most potent sales
method.
But the Treasury knows that different peo-
pie need different kinds of persuasion to make
them reach for their pocketbooks. 1t also
knows that though some workers may use an
awkward or undignified approach, their pa
triotism is unquestioned and their results sat-
isfactory.
So the Treasury hasn't interfered with the
different sorts of local or impromptu rallies.
After all. the point is to sell War Bonds. And
they are being scotland bought at rate
ahead OF the last bond drive.
Results still count most. And even the most
fastidious can find satisfaction in the spec
tacle of Americans over-subscribing one inn
1nense quota after another with high spirits

cations.

Nothing more ungenerous could be said or

Gunnar Phil (Knopf: $3).

OuAAoI L LII \NAUpl. 9oJ.
In spite of two major disadvan-
tages, Gunnar PihPs Germany:
the Last Phase has lot to offer
thoughtful reader. It is obvious
that the book, based on material
gathered before Phil was expelled
from Germany in August last year,
is not up to the minute, and just
as obvious that there has been no
little information brought out of
Germany since that time. Releas-
ed prisoners of war have been al
most our only direct source.
The other unfortunate fact
about MIR. PihPe book is that it
is sometimes too clever. It reads,
once in a while, like a glorified
gossip column. This is better than
some of the more ponderous ap-
proaches so long as Mr.. PihT S

it usually seems to be. But occa-

Radar and Reticence

Rushing in where angels fear to tread
we are so bold as to take issue with Dr.
Irving Langnauir, distinguished American ply
sicist and Noble Prize winner, on rather
misleading statement
In press quotations of a recent speech oil
DR.. Langmuir's there is a charge that this
country fails to recognize, and occasionally
penalties, incentive in scientific development
By way of illustration he notes that prime
Minister Churchill has mentioned the great
part played by radar in the war, but no Official
of our government has offered a word tn such
scientific accomplishments
Perhaps DR.. Langnuir failed to see the
numerous American news stories and ad
vertisements extollng and partially explaining
radar, which were shut off some time ago by
military censorship for security reasons. Bu
surely he knoms that, incentive or not rada1
was a development of U. S. Navy scientists
And though our officials may not have talked
much about it, American radar has proved
to be an exceedingly handy gadget.
