Approves Postal Notes
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The new postal notes" announced in
The Sunday Star December 10, to be re-
leased by the Post Office Department
for public use on January l, appeal to
me as being practical new public
service.
When something new is placed in use,
we like to think back to where we saw
a similar feature in practice. For this
money order system, remember how in
Brazil, South America. the post Office
clerk would aflx stamps equivalent to
the value of the money on card with
all the required data. But the pur-
chaser Of the money order would receive
only token order to send to the payee.
The real money order always was in
the hands of the Offices. But both or
ders had to be receipted. The idea, of
course, was to prevent fraud at all points
within and without the post Offices, and
payment could be made only at the ulti-
mate destination of the money order,
when the post Office money order
matched the order in the hands of the
receiver
My first reaction is that I would like
this new American system, because of
its simplicity and lesser cost. It will be
helpful for persons who have had to
pay bank fees for the sending of funds
by check. And it should be 4 time
saver. It will succeed If every one has
faith in the venture and does not abuse
the privileges granted with the system.

Choral Society Background

To the Editor Of The Star
In the gravure section of The Sunday
Star for December 10, under the caption
Washington Choral Society,"" it Is
stated that the society was organized
IA years ago. AS a matter Of fact the
society, or one Of the same name, was
In existence so years ago when its con-
ductor was Josef Kaspar, and Eugene
Stevens, Charlie" James and Miss Amy
Leavitt were of the governing body. Mrs.
Torbert (then Janet Whitcomb) and I
were members Of the chorus and we de-
rived not only pleasure but a greater
love for the classics in music from our
membership. The Messiah" was rem
dered each Christmas season for a num-
Der Of years and during the period of
our membership the society also rem
dered Mendelssohns oratorios Saint
Paul" and Elijah" Gounod's "Redemp-
ton" and Saint-Saens' Samson and
Delilah," all with popular acclaim. Our
soloists were artists Of national repute
and the chorus numbered, as now, some
$50 voices. Great credit is due Louis
Potter for reviving the excellent work
of the former organization, which was
part Of the cultural life of Washing
ton half century ago.

They're Really Licked
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

deficient in training as regards good
part Of their personnel, must bear the
shock Of full-strength, fully equipped
American and British units, with SUI
perior artillery support and with a
crushingly superior air support when
ever weather lets that air support
operate.
The margin of advantage on the Ger
man side is the work of their military
engineers: the fortified villages, the
pillboxes, the obstacles, the mine fields,
reinforced of course, by the bad weather
which restricts our ability to maneuver
and which makes our air support inter-
mittent. But even these would not be
enough If they were not helped by the
terrain-the forests, the River Roer and
its tributaries
The whole purpose Of the advance
Of the 1st and 9th Armies is to break
through these natural defenses and get
into an area where we can broaden our
front and begin to envelop one or the
other of the German flanks. Then the
Germans must meet this move with
more men, and with a certain amount
of arnor, or they must fall back to
new line of defense which is also based
on natural obstacles-perhaps to the
River Erft, perhaps to the Rhine itself.
i
This may seem to have very little to
do with the remark of the American
officer: when we lick these guys this
time, they're really licked" But in fact
that observation is the very essence of
the whole situation on the northern
half Of the front. The Germans must
keep on putting in men and more men;
they must draw upon their local re-
serves; to some extent they must, from
time to time, draw upon their strategical
reserves.
But in the back of the minds Of the
high command must always be the day
of reckoning when the attacking forces
are clear of the forests and across the
Roer, when the British and Canadians
on the north begin to force the cross
ing Of the Mas, and when q battle of
movement in the Cologne Plain is in inn
mediate prospect.
The Germans can delay the coming
Of this day of reckoning by hard fight
ing, as they are doing. But they do so
at the price Of their ability to deal
with the strain of maneuyer warfare
when 1t comes. The more men they
lose now, the fewer they will have then.

Anne O'Hare Mccormick has reported
the truly extraordinary revival of
France. But what was our attitude
toward this government? It had to win
It's way against every possible obstruc-
ton. 1t had, in De Gaulle, a stubborn
and difficult" leader, who refused to
give away one scrap of French inde-
pendence or power. He insisted that
France be treated as a first-rate ally.
He assumed full diplomatic powers for
France and has just signed a treaty
with Russia. He refused to make any
pledges concerning the future of the
French Empire.
The purge in France is not complete
but some of the chief collaborationists
have been sentenced to death and ex-
ecuted. The government has ma
ttonahzed the coal mines Of Northern
France. De Gaulle is uniting behind
him the youthful, dynamic forces.

**
We are preparing in Italy the same
situation that has fared in Greece. The
objection to Count Sforza cannot be be-
cause he has refused to support Ba-
doglio. Britain and the United States
promised a new government to Italy
after the conquest of Rome; Cordell Hull
protested when the Soviets recognized
Badogho! No one can expect Count
Sforza to stick to a government which
the western powers themselves deserted.
Count Sforza is unpopular in Britain
because he Is an Italian patriot who
loves his country as much as We love
ours. He wants strong, free, mod
ernized, democratic Italy He is willing
to give up every conquest of Mussolini,
but he is not prepared to cede the entire
Italian Empire in North Africa. And
he insists that democratic Italy be
treated as a sovereign state.
Now we can pay our money-and our
lives-and take our choice If We do

Budapest Totters

To all indications, the Germans
and their Magyar satellite govern
ment are planning to give up Buda-
pest without last-ditch defense.
If this turns out to be the case. it
will accord with what appears to be
the overall strategic picture on the
southeastern European battle front.
Faced by the tremendous Allied
offensive in the west and the i'm
minence of major Russian offensive
on the main eastern front in Po-
land, the German high command
obviously dares not do more than
conduct a stubborn delaying action
on the Danube similar to that in
Italy Most of Hungary with it's
rich natural resources is already
gone. What remains is a belt of ter
ritory with scant economic value,
its chief significance being as buf-
fer protecting Austria. notably vi
emma, which lies less than 80 miles
from the Hungarian border. In this
defensive campaign, Budapest itself
is merely an incident, logically not
worth the loss of a large garrison
even after prolonged siege. Rus
sian possession of Budapest will not
automatically open the way to vi
emma, because west of Budapest the
Danube flows through belt of heav-
ily-forested hill country on both
sides of the river. which can thus
be stoutly defended by adequate
covering troops. This hilly belt
could be by-passed by Russian
troops working their way far to the
southwark around Lake Balaton, but
the operation would be risky so long
as they have not broken across the
Drave River, since they might be hit
on the flank by German and Croat
puppet troops which still control
Northern Yugoslavia. 1t should al
ways be remembered that the Rus
sian armies in Hungary are oper-
ating at the end of very long lines
OF communication which become
more uncertain as the severe mid
European winter with its fierce bliz-
yards and heavy snowfall sets in.
The loss of Budapest will probably
have important political conse-
quences. Already, sections of the
Hungarian people are ready for
peace and will presumably set up a
new government in the conquered
capital under Russian protection.
Other sections, however, are so fear
full of Russia and so hopeless of a
future in an Eastern Europe domi-
mated by Moscow and their heredi-
tary enemies, the neighboring Slav
peoples, that they will perhaps fight
on beside the Germans to the bitter
end. Those internal differences will
tend to render Hungary negligible
factor in the military and political
decisions which the present cam
paign in Southeastern Europe should
determine.

A Good Stadium Bill

The stadium bill approved by both
houses Of Congress is one of five
that were introduced as the result
OF efforts by Board of Trade COM
mittee to initiate action on this
project. It does not go as far as
some people wanted to go. But in
the circumstances it was the best
measure that could be hoped for and
in the long run it may prove to have
been the wisest. Under its provi-
sions, If approved by the President,
a commission of nine, six repre-
senting Congress and three repre-
senting the Commissioners, will
recommend site and plans for IAN
athletic field and stadium to be
constructed in the District of Co.
lumbia as a permanent memorial
to the men and women who gave
their lives while serving as members
Of the armed forces" during this
war. Accompanying recommenda-
tions for a site and plans there will
be an estimated cost and, presum-
ably, proposals for financing, factors
which will determine the feasibility
OF the undertaking but which are
lacking now. This Is an excellent
beginning and represents an accom-
plishment all the more noteworthy
because the legislation was consid-
cred toward the end of a busy session
when 1t could have been blocked by
any objection, reasonable or other
wise. The commission is to report
to Congress "at the earliest prac-
ticable date" and the ic-spirited
energy of the sponsors may be
counted on to prevent undue delay.
Senator Bilbo and Representative
Randolph were most helpful in
assuming the leadership which made
possible this encouraging beginning

Carols Appreciated

TO the Editor of The Star:
You have rendered beautiful service
in publishing Christmas carols for our
service men and women. Through my
sister, Mrs. Tim Hurst of Washington,
I received rs copies Of the carols for
the men who have gone from our little
Methodist church school in this town.
Last Sunday the minister, Rev. Ray
mond Grove, told the parents about the
carols and invited them to take copies
and send them to their boys or girls
The response was 100 per cent, and this
evening am writing this note of thanks
from our grateful people, who all feel
that the service and pleasure you have
given our boys will be felt around the
world this year at Christmas time.
Thanking you, especially for the
pleasure you have given to my own son
in the Philippines, and wishing you a
joyous Christmas, I am,

duction of these essentials for victory
has Jagged recently because of the wave
of optimism that the war in Europe was
about over. And since the winning of
the war against Hitler must remain
No. l on the list the requests Of Gen.
Eisenhower receive top priority. There
are not enough trained soldiers and
sufficient war material for two major
offensives
Gen. Macarthur has the where
withal" to bring his present operations
on Leyte to successful conclusion. But
it is doubtful whether he would tackle
Luzon, whc<e the japanese have brought
in strong reinforcements, without being
sure that supplies and reinforcements
would come to him continuously. Thus
it seems likely that he may wait until
the Germans have been defeated before
undertaking the heavy battle against
the Japanese In Luzon.
On the other hand, the British have
decided to join in the naval operations
in the Pacific. The bulk Of the British
fleet, which has been hemmed in in
Europe since 1899, Is now available for
action. A portion of the worlds second
largest navy will operate in the Indian
Ocean, where the commander in chief Of
the East Asia theater, Admiral Lord
Louis Mountbatten, may by now have
received sufficient forces to put into
effect the offensive that had been
planned in August, 1943.
Although a considerable number of
transports and supply ships are still
required in the European war, landing
barges and heavy warships, particularly
battleships and carriers, can now be
sent from the Atlantic and the Medi-
terranean. These have been dispatched
to the Indian Ocean and from there a
portion of them will join the American
Fleet for combined operations against
the Japanese. The British are keenly
interested in recovering the possessions
they lost to the japanese in 1912 and
realize they must cooperate with the
American forces in order to do So
And while it is still an open question
OF how great an army Britain will be In
a position to send to the Far East, 1t is
certain that the British high command
can spare most of its fleet and eventually
a large part of its aviation for that
theater of war.

The Farm Kitchen

The farm kitchen on a winters
evening is the heart of the farm
home. Modern, functional architec-
ture says a kitchen should be a small
shop, just a place for food prepara-
tion. But on a farm the kitchen is
not only the place where food is
prepared; it is the place where it is
eaten, and the living room for the
entire family in the evening. After
supper, while mother and the girls
do the dishes, father and the boys
do the milking and bed the animals
down for the night.
Father always sits down on the
old, battered sofa to take off his
heavy shoes and put on his slippers.
Then, comfortably ensconced in the
dilapidated, but very comfortable,
morris chair, he reads the daily
paper and the farm magazines. The
young folks gather round the dining
table with its honey, red and black
checked cloth. They push the Lazy
Susan to one end, spread out their
books and papers to do their home
work. OF course, lad may need to
rest himself few minutes between
geometry problems to see what new
offerings there are in traps and guns
in the latest mail order catalog.
Mother sits at one corner of the
table, rocking gently back and forth,
mending socks. She can always
answer such questions as how many

Spinach in the Doqhousc

From the st. Louis Star Times.
Twenty million little boys and girls
couldn't be wrong. After struggling
from nursery days to first dates with
that archenemy of the dinner table,
Spinach, whole generation of Ameri-
can childhood is now told that it's aver
sion to the greenish stuff was right all
along. Dietitians in the Department Of
Agriculture announce that laboratory
tests show spinach contains an "un-
desirably high" amount of something or
other that ought to 60 into the gar
bage can.
Breakfast was never an ordeal like
dinner in a scientifically run American
household. fellow could take his
orange juice and cereal with self
respect. Things began to happen
around lunchtime when soup appeared.
The bottom of the pit was reached at
dinner when meat and potatoes and pie
and cake had to play second fiddle to a
slippery leaf with tough backbone
The triumph of the children's crusade
is, alas, incomplete. True, the long
faced nutritionists put spinach In its
place "in favor of broccoli and kale." But
we might have known there was
catch to It! 1t was too mach to expect
them to come out for candy bars and
ice cream cones.
