CHICAGO, Aug. rs -(P)-
The orchestra in the pit at the
Rialto Theater, Chicago's home
of burlesque since 1915, played
the elegie for the G-string last
night.
The Rialto ended its almost
80 years as an epidermis empor-
ium to the tune of "Auld Lang
Syne" as the chorus paraded to
the accompaniment of whistles,
outlaws and - scarcely audible
-Sobs.
Jack Hess, the theater's press
agent, said the reason for the
proposed changeover from gyra-
tions to 1--WE (the Rialto hence
forth will house name bands)
was because 1.-The class of peo-
pie we used to- get here were
robust males between 81 and 35.

Nevertheless, when the chorus
sang Aud Lang Syne, the old
sters in the audience nostalgical-
ly remembered the Rialto in bet
ter days. Many a star had been
made" through the medium of
burlesque at the State street
show house.
For the record, old burlesque
stars who appeared at the Rial
to include Abbott and Costello,
Benny Fields, Blossom Seelcy,
Art Jarrett, Ben Turpin, Eva
Tanguay, Mae Murray, Rags
Raglan. Phil Silvers, Margie

Study Revamping
of State Guards
After the War

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 -
(P)-The War Department has
begun a study looking toward
revamping of the National
Guard in the postwar military
organization Of the United
States.
No hint Of the specific prob
lens to be tackled by a special
six-man committee was con-
tanned in the announcement is
sued yesterday, but the question
of political control of appoint
ments of high ranking officers
in the peacetime National Guard
is known TO be matter of con-
siderable concern to the Army
Command.
Fears have been expressed at
times in National Guard circles
that this concern might result
in an army attempt to federalize
the Guard completely, remov-
ing il from under state COM
mand.
The present Army High Com
mand, however, is believed 10
favor retention of the guard as
an agency of the states except
in national emergencies, al
though with an extension of the
War Departments authority
over training and over qualifi-
cations Of top guard officers.

charges of bribery to the State
Supreme Court, defense attor-

Declining TO be quoted dir

until September / to petition the
Supreme Court for a full-dresS
review of the convictions and
expected to ask for the new

The existence of reversible
error in the prosecutions case
will be charged, it was said, but
the attorneys declined to elab-
crate on their plans.
Special prosecutor Kim Sigler,
leaving today for Trenton, n.

Child is Victim

LANSING, Aug. 25-R -
Only five new polio cases were
reported up to midnight Thurs
day, compared with 10 the day
before. DR.. T. M. Koppa, direct
or of the bureau of epiddemol-
ogy, said today.
Probably we have not reach
ed the peak, although it looks
as If the epidemic may be level
ing off," DR.. Koppa said. The
number of cases. after rising
sharply at the beginning of the
epidemic, levelled off last week,
then started up again. "Ordinar-
lily we'd expect to be on the
downgrade, because the epidem-
&c started earlier, but our charts
indicate we probably have not
reached the peak" he declared.
Three of the new cases are in
Detroit, one is in Lenawee coun-
ty, and one is in East Detroit,
total of 307 cases. DR.. Koppa
said that so far only 40 per cent
of the victims have been para
lyzed, compared with last year
when. although there was not
an epidemic, 50 per cent of the
cases reported were accompan-
led by paralysis.
The death toll still stands at
10, six of them in Detroit. No

Aquarium Gets Record
Fish Catch in Bahamas

CHICAGO -U.D - The COL
lecting crew of the Shedd
Aquarium have returned from
the Bahama Islands with one OF
the largest collections of fish on
record, said Walter H. Chute,
director.
Visitors to the aquarium now
can see some of the most beau
tiful fish in the world, including
irridescent Angelfish, beautiful
but dangerous Triggerfish, But
terflyfish, and delicate Oscar,
the Octopus, who is no beauty
but is by far the most popular
exhibit in the aquarium.
Octopi are very difficult to
keep in captivity, usually living
only a few weeks, Chute said.
Other queer-looking fish have
appropriate names, such as the
cockeye pilot, jolt-head porgy
Slippery Dick, razorfish, anc
yellow grunt. There are also
delicate sea anemones, which
look like flowers.
Due TO the war no collecting
has been attempted for over two
years. This expedition was made
possible by the help of the Unit.
ed States and Bahamas govern
ments, the u. S. Navy and U. :
Coast Guard, Chute said. The
crew spent two weeks on Bimini
a small island on the edge of the
Gulf Stream collecting these
specimens.

Common Sense
BY David laurence
the London Daily Express.

From the London Daily Express
There is factor which has been con.
slant In this island since the outbreak
of war in September 1899. It is the
common sense of the British people. In
the dim, distant past, now known as the
phoney war period, few people really be-
lleved that the Germans could be beaten
by the use of the single weapon of eco
nomic blockade. 1t was a nice idea. It
was economical of life. But instinc.
lively the common sense Of the British
people told them that their memories
OF l9l4-19l8 did not play them false.
The British people did not get down to
the business of war in 1889, but that was
not their fault. When disaster overlook
us they reacted with magnificent COM
mon sense. Every man stripped to the
waist and got On with his job. At last
he had inspiring leadership At last he
was presented with a way of life. These
superexertions could not 60 on for long:
but they laid foundation of increased
endeavor that runs on to this day. It was
the common sense of the people which
helped them to survive the blitzing of
their land. Deep-rooted traditions. the
heritage handed on by great names, the
pluck and grit that sent men traversing
the world to build up their own fortunes
and those Of their motherland-all these
qualities were allied to hard bitten COM
mon sense

A Washington resident some
months ago wished to felicitate
young friend on graduating from
college and entering the Navy.
When he attempted to telegraph his
appreciation and good wishes, the
Western Union operator told him
that all such messages were barred
under section CSC of the regula
tions established by the Board of
War Communications. Inquiry dis
closed that there was no law to
prevent him sending an airmail-
special delivery letter of congratula-
ton. Neither was there any restric-
ton on using telephone facilities to
the same effect. The felicitator
called the college office and dictated
his communication to the switch
board attendant.
Wendell Willkie might have done
likewise yesterday when the tele-
graph company rejected his message
congratulating Governor Dewey. A
precedent for another alternative is
available in the example of a con-
stituent of Senator Lister Hill of
Alabama who, being halted by CSC

sula, with other costs not yet added
up. And again. they must keep on
feeding men to this isolated battlefield
bit by bit in order to save something
out OF the wreckage.
In each case, the German decision
has been to try to hold on. In each
case that decision has cost the Ger
mans heavily in troops and material.
In no case has the German decision
prevented the Allies from advancing
and occupying territory The one thing
the Germans have gained is time. They
have bought that time at high price.
it remains to ask ourselves why they
are doing this.
A policy so consistent on three sep.
arate fronts must have a basic pur-
pose. A policy so costly and so charged
with military risk must have a really
fundamental purpose. 1t must be re-
lated to the main German objective of
the war
That objective can no longer be the
defeat OF the Allies, or of any one of
the major Allies. The German high
command can hardly contain single
individual so stupid as to think that
10 any hunger possible.
Yet they are still willing to make
great sacrifices to gain time Time for
what? There can be no outside help
Tor them There can be no hope that
our resources will become exhausted.
1t is in fact the resources of Germany
which are becoming exhausted. And
they are being exhausted on distant
battlefields. at the inevitable expense of
the German ability to defend their CEN
trail keep Germany itself as the steel
ring closes tighter about them.
The only possible conclusion is that
the Germans do not mean to make a
last-ditch defense of the central keep"
They would not fritter away the means
OF doing so, if that were their intention.
They still cherish hope of something
better than fight to the bitter end
within Germany itself. They are fight
ing for the only possible hope they can
have-some sort of compromise peace at
some point in the operations at which
they may hope that the governments
and peoples of the Allied Nations will
become convinced that it is not worth
the cost to push ahead to unconditional
surrender.
Whether it is counterattack in Nor
Hioiioy, VI @ic HidJoi oFci-dl strategy
of the war, the Germans must realize
that it is wishful thinking to suppose
that they can ever again regain their
freedom of action. They have lost the
initiative in this war, and on each front
of the European theater and they must
now conform to our moves instead of
forcing us to conform to theirs. These
have never been the conditions in which
German soldiers have fought best, or
German generals commanded most bril-
liantly.

The Political Mill
Bv Gould LincoIn

CHICAGO, June 29-The Republican
party has named its ticket-Dewey and
Bricker-and is squared away for the
big race which will end next November.
The COP National Convention wound
up with greater harmony than had been
expected a day or two ago. In fact,
1t wound up in complete harmony.
Gov. Bricker of Ohio, a candidate for
the presidential nomination, showed
himself good loser. 1t turned out
that he was also winner A nomina-
ton for the vice presidency is not to
be sneezed at, particularly when it
comes with as much good will as did
that of the Ohio Governor. His with
drawal and declaration of support for
Gov. Dewey was one of the most grace
full events Of any national political
convention.
1t was always question whether the
Republican party, determined to NOM
mate Gov. Dewey of New York for
President, could help the ticket more
by taking vice presidential candidate
from the Midwest or from the Pacific
Coast. Gov. Earl Warren of California
settled the matter. His declaration
that he could not accept the nomination
if it was offered him came at psyche
logical moment, the night before the
balloting began
&ak x
There Is no doubt that the selection
of Gov. Bricker for second place on
the ticket will help in this big Midwest
territory. 1t is reckoned Republican
but Ohio has been twice carried by
Franklin D. Roosevelt and it is a de-
batable State any way you look at it,
Gov. Bricker will strengthen the ticket
there. He will help in Indiana and
Illinois and the rest OF the Midwest
territory.
About year and a half ago, Just
before he was inaugurated Governor of
New York. Mr.. Dewey told this writer
that he did not believe in drafts" of
presidential nominees. What has Just
happened to him comes as near to
draft as anything in our political his
tory. His nomination came without
his making campaign of any kind.
1t came in spite of the fact he wrote

Governor Bricker

Governor John w. Bricker of Ohio
has worked hard for the prize which
has come to him in the form of the
Republican party's vice presidential
nomination.
For more than six months, while
all other party hopefuls with the
exception of Wendell Willkie re-
mained silent and aloof, Governor
Bricker went from city to city and
meeting to meeting preaching Re-
publican gospel and demanding an
end to the New Deal Nor did he
abandon his fight for the first place
on the ticket when Governor Dewey
of New York, without lifting a finger
to solicit delegate, forged far into
the lead during the preconvention
