USO Has USES

The 1944 National War Fund appeal opened on October 9, and will continue until Armistice Day, November II, How important to USO is the success of the undertaking is shown by the fact that President Chester I, Barnard of USO and Winthrop w. Aldrich, president of NWF, have issued twin statements pointing out that no matter how imminent the im- pending cessation of hoStilitieS in Europe, the need for USO services for the men and women of the armed forces will con- tinue for an indefinite period,
 Both leaders agreed that the uncertain ties of the Pacific war and the period needed for demobilization will create as great demand for USO services as has yet had to be met, and MT, Aldrich felt that victory in Europe may increase rather than diminish the need for assist ance required by the NWF member agencies,
 President Barnard mentioned particu- larly the importance of continuing the topflight professional entertainment SUD- plled in all combat areas by USO-Camp Shows, Troops awaiting tranSShipment, he said, will need these programs to maintain morale, New units, he said, are being assembled and rushed overseas steadily to meet this need,
 There will be about as many service men in this country at the end of l944, MT. Barnard believes, as there were at the beginning of l94S, but there will be fewer in training, and more in hospitals and reconditioning centers, The pros .pect is, he concluded, that USO will be required for at least several years longer, until perhaps not less than two years after the war,
 According to estimate, the needs of ' USO for the coming calendar year again will be $56,000,000. Friends and sup .pcrters of USO have been asked to put forth even greater efforts in answering the NWF appeal than ever before.

SENATOR DANAHER SPEAKS
(Hartford Courant)

'eA8assNhA OVh4H"hsD
 Those Connecticut citiezens who In the past have complained that they did not know where Senator John A. Danaher stands in relation to the great issues of foreign affairs now before the country ought hence forth to find 1t less difficult to make up their minds about him. MT. Dafl- aher's raido speech Tuesday night was 0 fortnight and sincere expo sitIon of his attitude toward the keeping of peace after the war. And few, Democrats as well as Republi- cans, will have ground for taking exception to that attitude.
 Senator Danaher welcomed the plan for an international security organization that emerged from the Dumbarton Oaks discussions on the basis of the bipartisan American plan. He pointed out that in the past the nations only refuge from war has been neutrality. Now, how- ever, we have the option either of going back to neutrality or of seek ing to organize peace through inter- national cooperation. 'The Repub- iican Party" said Mir. Danaher, "has recommended that we take the latter course To that effort l subscribe"
 Mere endorsement of what was done at Dumbarton Oaks was not the measure of MT. Danaher's an- alysis of the difficult task of organ- izing peace. He suggested also way in which the American Constitu- tional requirement that only Con- gress declare war can be reconciled with the necessity for prompt and forceful action against an aggres-

king and an idolatrous nation; a few days later he pied with God to take away his life because i1e was, in his own eyes. a failure.
 We live in a world where action and reaction appear to be equal. If we go up the mountain tops of joy, we have to go down into valleys where joy is often exchanged for Encouragement. Life by its very nature has its ups and downs. Sometimes the basis of these chang ing moods is physical. Gastric juice and blood pressure have more of an effect upon ones moods. and con. sequently upon ones character, than we are sometimes willing to con- fess.
 But regardless of the cause. the fact remains that the course of fife from day to day is not even. and probably is not intended to be SO. We are evidently meant to learn valuable lessons both by solving our problems and by adjusting our- selves to situations which cannot be changed.

WHEN BETTER CALCIUM IB

Because I have noticed that you are never aVerse to making . re. tratcion or acknowledging error f you make 6 wrong statement, I should like to ask about your earlier recommendation of calcium lactate (writoS Mrs. 6.

 I switched from calcium chloride and calcium lactate some Blx of eight years ago because found that most people more readily take calcium giuconate or discalciutIi phosphate.

 Calcium iactate Is still Q good form of calcium for the treatment of tendency to bleed excessively, tetany, hay fever, asthma, and the like, but calcium gluoonate has proved less irritating and equally effective, and discalciuni phosphate, supplying phosphorus as well as calcium, promotes better utilization of calcium - iTl recent years t has been recognized that phosphorus is required for normal calcium F1etas boilsnl or assimilation and utiiiza. ton in the body and vice versa, and further that Wtamin D b essential for either or both.

Sor. To accomplish this he reconi- mended Ian organization possessing forces including an air corps, power ftl, thoroughly organized, highly mobile, which can be recruited on Q voluntary basls.' This organization would meet the need for immediate action. Then, if in spite of an iri- ternationai effort to keep peace, in Q given case, i've find that our ra- tinaI interests are SO involved that our nation should once again be organized for war, there would still be retained in the Congress the the power to declare war"
 This is 6 useful contribution to the discussion as to how this fund.- amentai dilemma shall be solved. It shows that Senator Danaher is as interested as anyone else in realiz- ing the twin aims of attempting to set up a cooperative international mechanism for preserving peace while yet keeping faith with the Fundamentals of American govern ment.

 She was one of those sweet faced. wispiSh little old ladies, and oil the way through the investigation of Dr, Edward A. Humley before the House Campaign Expenditures Committee she kept shaking her head and whispering to herself in annoyance ct almost everything he said, When Runley finished his testimony, denying each and every charge that his Committee for Con. stitutional Government had en- gagged in any political activities, the little old lady leaned across the table to reporters and unburdened herself.
 "That nanw she said. You know, he used to go to school to me, back in La Porta, Indiana. He was one of my brightest pupils, too. I used to give my classes themes to write, and he was one of the few who had 0 real ability to express himself. But his father sentshim back to Ger many for part of his education, and that's what spoiled him. Just look at what he is now"

 DIES GUYS LAST
 DITCH STAND
 Congressman Martin Dies of Texas is really having nothing to do with this last great squirt of ac- tivity by his committee in trying to show connection between the Com munists and the c. I. O. Political Action Committee. Dies isn't even in Washington.
 All the work is being done by the two committee investigators, Robert E. Stripling and Dr. J. B. Matthews, who will apparently be out of jobs when the Dies Committee as such ceases to exist at the end of the present session of Congress.
 The final Stripling- Matthews eff fort, attempting to show that IF members of the National Citizens Political Action Committee were tied up with Communist front or- ganizations, was apparently intend- ed to bow the Dies Committee out of the election in a blaze of glory. and to show that the committee should be continued in the next ses- sion of Congress.
