 PARIS SUFFERS
 I also found out the majority of Paris restaurants were closed or open only at mitlday-due to lack of supplies, In most sections of Paris there was no electricity, no fuel, no gas, no hot water, This has been going on for the last six months. Most of my friends have been living on iron ratlonS and the few vegetables they could find, and their meagre stocks are now almost exhausted, But they invariably add; We don't care how many privations we endure now that we see the end In sight, To have you here means more than food and drink Paris the home of gourmets-is hungry, Food is being rushed here from Brittany and Normandy, but organ l3lng distribution takes some time,

 Paris is practically unseathed by war, Here and there in the heart of the city and see traces of street harricades and shattered windows but the Tricolor and Allied flags which have lain hidden for four years awaiting the liberation ffutter- ed gaily in the bright August Sun- shine and gave the impression the city was enwrapped in Q solid quilt of red, white and blue, But I soon found out that underneath the Ap- parent color and warmth, Paris IS sad and eareworn,
 CHERISH FREEDOM
 lt seemed incredible that only Q few days ago, the Germans still were here, but this Is even more incredible to the Parisians, Everyone met said the same thing; We cannot yet believe that at long last we are free, free to think and do and see whom we please" All my frinds were 90 overwhelmed they terally couldn't find words to express their toy,
 But two days in Paris taught me that underneath the gaiety and atsndllneSs there's an undertone of sadness. The hundreds of thousands of cyclists who charge down the streets some times eight abreast at committing hours may look pictures aus at first, You soon learn this rep resents considerable hardship, peo- ple have either to cycle or walk to Werk. There's absolutely, no trolleys, 10 taxis. The Metro is shut tight, some people have to Start out in the early morning hours only to get to work around noon, often on empty stomachs.

cause closer inspection reveals their clothes are miracles of make and mend, Remarking on Parisiennes' colorful clothes, was told this has been their way of defying the Ger mans. All wear platform shoes with fabric tops, also of gay colors. Many women who were unable to afford to buy shoes learned to make their own. am told all but the wealthy and war profiteers have been oblig- ed to spend their entire salary and to dig into their savings to buy food. Restaurant meeh cost any, thing from five to ten dollars with out satisfying even small appetites.
 The last four years undoubtedly have left an indellble mark on Par isians, but this will never be appar- ent to the casual observer, When conditions once again become nor- nal, Paris will soon reconquer her title of City of Light"-the Paris of the great American dream.

As much as any individ- ual in public office, Justice ByrneS has earned the privilege of retirement. His has been a long record of service, and its culni- nation in the role of As sistant President has been peculiarly arduous and demanding. In consenting to stay in office until the final eliminaton of Ger many from the war, he has offered an object lesson to all the rest of us. Some months ago when he an- ,nounced his intention to retire, it was a reasonable expectation that the war would be won before this years end. Now the win ter presents a grimmer prospect and we know that the enemy can be crushed only through un- remitting effort. The time has not yet come for re- taxation. Every American, civilian as we'll as service man, must stay on the job. -(Washington Post).

It affords assur- ance that the new Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion, which picks up where the old Office of War Mobilization left off, will be guided, at least in it's initial stages, with the same 'firmness and under standing of economic prob lems as in the past.
