$4,000 For A Cat!
MASSACHUSETTS, lawyt

A MASSACHUSETTS, lawyer
"A departing from this world,
left $4,000 for the benefit OF
his eight-year-old tiger cat, cutting
off seven relatives because of
their contemptuous attitude and
cruelty toward my cat"
A Boston bank will administer
the bulk of the fund for the shell
ter and maintenance of the cat,
but one finds it difficult to imagine
how the money will be spent. Cats,
like human beings, no doubt re-
quire some cash to maintain life
in the fashion to which they have
been accustomed but, even i'll the
present day, 100000 will buy a
lot of catnip.
1t may be that the lawyer has
correctly appraised the intellectual
possibilities of his feline friend
and that the cat, like many human
beings, has money complex, be-
lieving that there is proof of su-
perior merit in the possession of
cash funds.

COP TO Inject Vigor Of

Dewey Leader Indicates Republicans viii

Wing Elements During Race.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,os Analyst and Commentator.

man wit always the head
Oi MS class as Dewey was.
He is ready to help the Republi-
cans put the accent on youth and
underline it heavily. Browneu fits
into that picture naturally and Dew
ey can be counted upon to match his
own conduct with his years as far as
vigor and energy go and he will
probably be able to acquire the
"hail-fellow" flavor for public rela-
tions.
1t is clear when you talk to Brown
ell that he is all for the "wim-and-
wigger" type of electioneering. The
Democrats know what to expect.
They started a e-offensive
on the need and wisdom and expert
ence in their convention speeches.
They are going to try to prove that
when the contestants weigh in,
Democratic gray-matter will out-bal-
ance the red corpuscles and vita
Minis which their opponents display
and of which they will boast.
AS we waited to interview Brown
ell on that muggy Washington after
noon, a figure emerged who may
have been exhibit A Of the Republi-
cans immortal pep. He was the
man who nominated Taft for Presi-
dent so you can date him. He was
former Sen. Jim Watson of Indiana
(born 1889. not juvenile, but he
hadn't lost his up-and-at-'em. las
Uncle Joe Cannon always used to
advise me-" Senator Jim allowed to
all and sundry. give 'em hell,
boys!'
asked Brownell later il the Re-
publicans intended to campaign in
IAN unusual way" since the Presi-
dent had said he wouldn't campaign
in the usual way. Brownell smiled
and replied with sentence the bur-
den of which was energetic.
However, pean to youth will not
be the only song in the Dewey.
brlcker repertoire. Mr.. Bricker's S
lush but powdery thatch doesn't go
so well with that.
Control Of the Democratic par
ty," said Mr.. Brownell, rests Who'll
ly with two elements-the bosses of
the corrupt big city machines and
the radical left wingers who are
closer to communism than any 9TH
er political philosophy.
Right there you have two key
notes, the first which the ex-prose-
cutting attorney can sound in all its
variations and no doubt he will.
The second will fit splendidly into
Mr.. Bricker's style of oratory and
will appeal to the audiences of the
Middle West, which we're so moved
before Chicago that they almost
would not let him take a second
place on the ticket they wanted him
so badly to top.

Unfortunate, Not
Important

Merrill's Marauders, a famous
American combat organization
was a volunteer group, mostly vet
Grams of other campaigns, recruit
ed for spectacular and difficult
mission in Burma.
The Army reveals "an almost
complete breakdown in morale"
developed in May, when the
Americans were precariously hold
ing Myitkyina airdrome against
desperate Japanese counter-at-
tacks.
While details of the affair are
not released, the incident may be
classified as unfortunate rather
than important. 1t demonstrates
that men, regardless of hardihood,
can become disaffected under ad-
verse conditions, physical and
psychological.
1t is not surprising that some
Americans have given way under
the strain and stress of modern
warfare. The amazing fact, and
one which should be gratifying to
Americans everywhere, is that
this has happened only rarely and
to small bodies of men.

A Bishop On The
japanese

THE RT. Rev. Henry S. George
= Tucker, President of the Fed
eral Council of Churches of Christ
in America, and presiding bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
of the United States, thinks that
the Allies SHOULD recognize the
impulses of the Japanese them
selves sin such matters as to
whether they shall keep their EN-
peror."
The Bishop, who lived twenty
four years in Japan, describes the
Emperor as '1iberal in sentiment"
saying "it took a long time for the
military men to persuade him to
join up with the Axis" and then
adds that "when the Emperor
gives the word for the war to
stop, it's going to STOP"
Believing that the military men
of japan must be utterly discred-
tied "to avoid the menace of an
other war" Bishop Tucker says
that "there must be some actual
invasion of the country, with
troops marching through the
streets before japanese realize
they really have been defeated"

Make-Over Old Clothing
MORE AND MORE the bouse


N wives of this county are be-
coming conscious of clothing prob
lens. Under the impact of war
needs, there is gradually develop
ing shortage of clothes and a de-
terioration of quality compared
with the standards of several
years ago.
Along this line, DR.. Hazel Stieb-
ling, of the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics of the Department of Ag-
riculture, invites consumers to con-
slider the possibility of making
over old clothes and urges that
clothes now in use be conserved
for longer wear.
The lady points out that gar
ments laid aside two or three
years ago are superior in quality
to what the market offers today
and that they clean and launder
to better advantage. She thinks
that the wise housewife, or family
manager, will do well to consider
make-overs as a partial solution
! to the clothes shortage.

Accidents Kill Children

1T WILL probably surprise lnany
\ readers that accidents cause
more deaths than any disease, &C
cording to Good Housekeeping
Magazine, which points out
that $500 children, up to four
years of age, died in 1943 from
preventable accidents.
Accidental burns account for the
largest number Of accidental deaths
in homes among children up to the
age of four years. Playing with
matches, of course, causes burns
but many injuries are received
from defective electric cords and
pulling pots and pans of scalding
liquids from stoves or tables.
Of course, parents of babies
under one year of age should exer-
else great care to avoid accidental
suffocation, which is the cause at
the highest number of baby deaths
in the under-one-year-group.

Brings DelDey Closer
To General Public

He made an excellent law connec-
ton in New York. was elected to the
state legislature and developed a
keen nose for politics which brought
him to the position of counsel for
the state Republican committee. He
was one Of the inner circle Of the
Dewey group and liked Dewey as
those who are closest to him do and
unlike those in the middle distances,
who don't. A part of Brownell's job
will be to bridge that gap. He or
somebody else has already been CIV
ing lessons to the governor in the
charm school as was evident at his
first press conference in Chicago aft
er his nomination where he revealed
his training. The cynical Albany

In the last half Of 1912, deliv-
cries of fertilizer amounted to
100000 tons. This was jumped
to 3,500,000 tons in the same pc

farmers to buy and accept delivery
of at least 100000 tons before

Farmers who have dry space

Expect D.. y to Rip
Trundn's Connections

A Democrat who was a Wallace
backer said to me just after the Tru-
man bandwagon began to roll: II
can't figure out what this is all
about. They nominate a man who
got his start from the Pendergast
machine because Pendergast swore
he could take an unknown and make
him senator and did. What will
Mr.. District Attorney do to him?"
II is true Pendergast gave Tru-
man his start, but whatever you
may think of Mr.. Pendergast's NOR
als-they did land him temporarily
in jail-the one quality that every
body who knows Truman talks about
and the thing the senator's record
points to, is honesty. But what are
facts in a political year anyhow?
Brownell hinted that there would
be plenty said about Bosses Of cor
rupt political machines" So that's
the scent and fairly noisome one,
which you can expect the Republi-
cans to follow Justify and in full cry.
Brownen was asked if the infiu-
ence Of the CIO on the Democratic
party would be exploited. Brownell
merely said we could expect some
thing on that subject, too. He would
not say, however, whether he
thought that nominating Truman in
stead of Wallace, for whom Sydney
Hillman's CIO political committee
was pulling so hard, strengthened
the Democratic ticket.
He was asked if he expected the
support of John Lewis. He didn't
answer that directly but he did say
that he expected large proportion
of labor support and that party lead
ers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio and Illinois (where Lewis
United Mine Workers are chiefly To-
cated) were strongly Republican
and that editorial writer's of the
UNIV periodicals and union leaders
had noticed the trend and were fol-
lowing it.
The don't change horses" argu-
ment will be met with arguments
offered at the Republican conven-
tion. that there will be no change
in the American high command, no
interference with military leaders or
their strategy and then. Of course,
there is the pious hope, too. that
should the war in Europe end be-
fore the ides Of November, the
stream will be reduced to such a
trickle that nobody will worry about
little leap from one saddle to an
other saddle.

Robots Destructive

Churchill reveals that robot
bombs killed 4,7S5 persons in sew
eral weeks, destroyed 1900 and
damaged $780, 900 houses.
The Prime Minister reveals that
5,S40 robots were launched in the
seven weeks. This indicates that
the bombs destroy, on the average,
three houses and something less
than one individual.
It is conceded that the robot
attacks cause human suffering and
wholesale destruction but without
affecting the determination of the
British to demand unconditional
surrender. Moveover, the 4,50O
tons of flying bombs launched
against England compares with
$4,000 tons of high explosive
bombs dropped on Germany dur.

 The Waterbury Catholic High school today made known that re- suits of its efforts during the current campaign have netted the sum of $6,471.45 in bonds and stamps while Leavenworth High school announces a stamp sale of S5.636, instead of $4se36 as first reported Saturday.
 At Victory House sales of $5,400 were recorded by a youth division fro mthe city high schools. The youth group will be credited with more than $16,000, however, be- cause Robert Zoeller, manager of the house, has directed the war f. nance committee to assign to the students $11.25O netted at Victory House Friday when no group Spon- sored the day.

Park WoIk Almost Costs Girl Legs

South Bend. JnG., Dec. 18-UP)- Virginia Lewis, I7, and her boy friend of Mishawaka, Ind, were very much in love. He was going to join the Navy, 50 they spend the entire night together in a snowy park.
 Virginia was in St. Joseph's hos pital receiving treatment for her frost bitten feet today and doctors said she was alarmed lucky that they didn't have to amputate them.
 The temperature was 27 degrees, but the two 17-year-olds, who thought it might be the last time they saw each other, walked and walked. They became tired, so they lay down fn the snow and fell asleep.
 "It was hours later when he woke up" Virginia told juvenile authori- ties. But we didn't do anything wrong.
 T didn't know my feet were frog en until I went into a public rest room and the matron saw them.'
 The matron took Virginia to the hospital where physicians at first thought it might be necessary to amputate both her feet. They decid- ed against it. however, when her condition improved.
