WASHINGTON SCENE
BY George Dixon

VICE PRESIDENT HENRY
A. WALLACE--certainly he
is still vice president; what did
you think he was doing. pitch
ing for Brooklyn has sworn
in so many senators you'd think
he could do IL with his eyes shut.
The best figure | could obtain
was that he has sworn in more
than 90 senator's. The ceremony
is short, the oath consisting Of
nine lines.
Mr.. Wallace ordinarily reads
the oath from a white card. But
the other day. in swearing in II.
Alexander Smith. the new sena-
tor from New Jersey, he decided
20 attempt ii from memory.
He got 10 the seventh line
without a fumbleE-and then
went bloop, He stammered and
suffered, but the next line
wouldn't come.
Badly flustered, he finally got
out the white Garland then
blew up again! Even with the
words in front of him he could
not stop Spluttering.
Senator Smith, a novice, did
better in his role. OF course his
part was comparatively simple.
All he had 10 do was say Il do"
twice.

@. Men with false teeth are
rejected for military service
nowadays. yet one of this coun-
try's greatest soldiers had false
teeth. BY the way, you're SO
smart. what soldier was this.
A. The man you refer 20 was
our greatest soldier, Gen. George
Washington, who had false teeth
during most of his active mill
tary career. However, n man
can have some false teeth and
still be accepted for military
service at this time. II depends
on how many good teeth he has.
TO MY claim that a left
l. handed first baseman is no
more valuable than a right
handler, the distinguished San
Francisco sports eSsayist, Mr..
Prescott Sullivan, strongly OBJ
jects.
Mr.. Sullivan says southpaws
are better because ID they can
throw to any base without turn
ing around, CD are quicker on
double plays. CD position of
their gloved hand makes a bet
ter target.
All these claims are open to
question and have been UNI
doubtedly inspired by propa-
ganda broadcast by friends and
relatives of southpaw initial
sackers.
On my next visit TO San
Francisco I will challenge Mr..
Sullivan 10 argue this matter,
before competent judges, at the
Flytrap, DiMaggio's, Fred Sar-
tori's or Mayes on California

Letters From
A Soldier

INCIDENTALLY, there are
linen who get permission to
live off the post-men whose
wives have moved to Alabama.
That's not exactly a soft snap.
because you cant leave until
after retreat, at 6 p. m, and you
have to be back before reveille
at 6 a. m. When you figure
travelling time, it doesn't mean
much time at home. And if you
happen TO be assigned to one of
the frequent night problems,
there's no time to get home
at all.
That's all the passes there
are, except Burroughs which
come no closer together than six
months.
So yoH can see that a three
day pass is something to look
forward to. The best way / can
describe it's to tell you that

recently, Kitty grabbed a time
table in one hand and a clean
pair of stockings in the other.
and came buzzing down to Bir-
ningham, Ala, to spend three
days.
That may seem like a lot of
travel for the sake Of three
days, but it's worth it. Time
takes on a different aspect after
you've been in the army. Three
days? It's a LOT of time. And
l guess three hours at home
would look big to some poor
doughface who has spent a
month or two in a foxhole.

dates by two boys whom mother

It is a land whose master
theats the rest of the world

But surely such love and ado

 Arranged by WOmen's Club

Plans have been completed to hold an evening of bridge at the Officers Club, Tuesday evening, July Fourth, with play beginning promptly at 2OOO hours. All Off, cers and their ladies are invited.
 Refreshments will be served by the Bradley Field Women's Club, sponsors of the event. Cash prizes will be awarded winners, so why not be one of the lucky ones.
 Incidentally, depending upon the popularity of this venture, it is hoped that this is to be the first of a series of regular evening bridges at the Officers Club.

'I'm packin' my gripw, said Sgt. Fred Counsel. As simply as that, our friend closed his stay at Bradley It is with genuine regret that many of us bid him the fam iliar, "So long, Buddy" Constant reminders of Fred's devotedness to the fellows of the 162nd are the inspirational panorama-the Mess Hall Mural, the enthusiastic ac- complishments in the Battle of Bradley, 93rd Variety Show, and Smoker, 162nd Picnic, etc. etc. Paramount was his cheerfulness and sincere friendliness that was typical of a "Good Guy" We all wish the best of luck to Fred and that whole group. a cross section of 162nd's Bradley Buddies."
