GOING OVER

In its July "a issue, the weekly
newsmagazine thine" devotes nearly
three pages to a discussion of the
CIO Political Action Committee and
its head, Sidney Hillman. Its general
appraisal iof the organization un-
doubtedly lays it open to charge by
Dies and his "Unamerican" committee
of being a fellow traveller" organ if
not worse. Time neither flatters nor
damns it but appraises its program
and accomplishments fairly.
The article written at the time of
the Democratic convention states
that "the most important politician
at the Democratic convention in Chi
cago this week is, very probably
labor leader" and that his import
ance derives from the biggest new
fact in u S. politics: the CIO Polit-
ical Action Committee, of which he is
chairman"

published by the organization. This
sentence in the Primer defines pol

of this that though neither idealistic
nor pious, the Primers opening
shocker is unquestionably as Amer
lean and up-to-date as the word

Time also quotes the following pert

the average American, politicians are

The other kind OF spanker is the
father who says with pride: II never

But to spank in cold blood is
worse. A hot-blooded spanking at
least comes from the heart. A child
senses this, and usually knows in
stinctively that your anger is human,
and that you do not hold grudge
against him.
Spanking is usually the last resort
of the parent who is not very re-
sourceful or understanding. The
father feels as helpless in regard
to the child as he once felt when
his own father spanked him; and

MANY parents do not realize that

Visual in southwest Poland, IN
the sector Of the railway cities
of Krakow and Tarnow.
Observers long have been an
ticipating such an operation. Al
this point the Red Armies are
standing only about 100 miles
from the border of German ST.
lesia, which is the closest they
have come TO Germany proper.
This is one of the natural
routes into Maitland, and when
the Russians start their offensive
there it presumably will have as
its objective a quick invasion on
the direct route to Berlin.
Another operation which most
certainly will see an intensified
ton Of the Red assault is the
siege Of the Hungarian capital
Of Budapest. Possession Of this
great city on the Danube is the
key to the Danublan route into
Austria-one Of Hitler.'s most
vulnerable Spots-and the Rus
slams will follow up the advan-
tage which they already hold
there.
Building for a big offensive
often is comparatively slow and
methodical. General ElsenhoW-
or has for days been ironing out
his front at lumpy spots in prep
aration for the onslaught. This
has accounted for the violent
fighting on the United States
First Army front southeast of
Aachen in the Huertgen Forest
area.
This has been a ding dong bat
tie that has been particularly
fierce about the town Of Schmidt
which has been changing hands.
The reason for all this activity
just below Aachen is that i'm

neighboring city Of Duren and
thence to the priced objective of
Cologne on the Rhine. They tell
us today that the Germans have
regained much of the territory
won by the doughboys since last
Friday.
Fitting into the broad picture
is General. Patton's attack with
his Third Army on a wide front

WASHINGTON, Nov. g.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ga
Senator Harry S. Truman's
first Vice Presidential goal is to
develop d warm friendship be-
tween the White House and
Capitol Hill.
The 6O-ycar-old MiSsourian,
believes he has what it takes to
create an understanding that
will prevent rupturcs such as
have occurred in this and pre-
ccdlng Congresses.
His chief weapon, he believes,
is his affection for most fellow
ScnatorS-and theirs for him.
Truman discussed these hopes
with reporters on his transcon-
tIncntal campaign tour.
AS chairman Of the Senate
War Investigating Committee,
the Vice Prcsident-elect brought
together members of both par
ties into as friendly a group as
