GREEKS REJOICE
OVER NEW PEACE

ATHENS, Jan. 14.-P)-Thou-
sands of Greeks waving British,
American and Greek flags paraded
in Athens today, celebrating SUI
spension of the civil war.
It was the first big demonstra-
ton of popular feeling since the
Sunday parade December which
Immediately preceded the out
break of civil disturbances.
The crowd, estimated at l0O,-
900, cheered Lt.-Gen. Ronald M.
Scobie, British commander, who
in a balcony speech declared ne
and his forces would protect the
Greek people and their liberties
from revolution in any quarter.
Scobie said he hoped the dem
onstration would have an effect on
world opinion (which unfortunate
ly has often shown itself to be
grossly misinformed regarding
Greek affairs"
Although the Athens area was
peaceful, some fighting was re-
ported at scattered points on At
tica peninsula. A British column
heading north on the coastal roao
skirting Atlanta channel between
Attica and the island of Evvola
met heavy mortar and machine
gun fire, and another column was
ambushed in hills southeast OF
Lavadai. There were other engage.
ments along the Corinth canal.

Conserve YOlzE' Coal

TT is up to householders, therefore,
L to use their existing coal supply
prudently and NOT to lombard
dealers with frantic orders for big
additional supplies.
There is no reason for anybody to
shiver in an unheated house.
STA rules prohibit coal deliveries
for domestic use unless the consumer
has less than five days supply. De-
liveries are limited to a single ton or
enough for seven days, whichever is
larger.
This knowledge should quiet the
fears of nervous consumers.
If they use their coal reasonably
and play fair and don't try to hoard,
there will be adequate coal to keep
us all warm in Detroit.

MOST of the Bricker and other
A'A opposition people we're we'll
enough satisfied 10 let matters
90 at that because they expect
Bricker to be the leading opposi-
ton candidate TO Dewey for the
next nomination.
A chairman can hardly avoid
getting tied up on issues and
involved in factional cliques TO
such an extent that nominating
one in the past has proved TO be
impossible. But most of the
Dewey opposition is not yet tied
10 any candidate and sees no
other Republican figure on the
horizon except Minnesota's
StaSSen.
In the end only StaSsen and
Clarence Budington X and
carried any opposition 10 the
program TO the floor of the
national committee meeting. {
VOU will recall brief accounts
Il of a meeting of Senators
Taft. Vandenberg and others
with Governor Dewey in New
York, after which no conclu-
sions Of any Importance were
announced. The party leaders
from the Congress were inn
pressed with the manner in
which Dewey handled himself
at that gathering, but they did
not accept his proposition to let
him be their guide. The next
stake will involve their jobs,
not his.
Aside from these two purely
organiZational ventures, Dewey
has made no effort to assume
national leadership. At any rate,
he has made no public utter
ance on any subject Of national
interest.
Apparently he wants to keep
control Of the party but not
attempt to build up a public
following in the Willkie way
hn rousing speeches and issue
movements. Both he and Bricker
will, however, make a speech
apiece on Lincoln Day.

RENHNn THE EVxJS By Paul
~ wv - Mallon

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-The
w accounts Of the Republican
meeting at Indianapolis made il
sound like a routine affair, a
good story for the National Re-
publican Weekly, perhaps, but
for no one else.
They breathed pure harmony
and light, though the light was
dull, As a matter of fact the
harmony was also far from
pure.
There was an inside battle,
which, as usual, the Republicans
managed to keep under cover.
The conflict was raised specially
in opposition to the Dewey
management.
Fourteen of the national COM
mitteemen attended a meeting
the night before. While this was
a small minority, it was a nu-
cleus of revolt which might have
been successful except that it
lacked a leader.
THE vice presidential candi-
Il date, John Bricker, had been
sought by many for the job Of
national chairman TO replace the
Dewey leader, Herbert Brow
nell He is more popular in the
party organization than any one
and would have been a good
man around whom 10 build a
fresh Washington leadership.
But Bricker thought he must
return to his law business and
make a little money for the
future. He declined TO enter the
race. No one else was visible in
the picture who could offer any
inspiration 10 an opposition.
Mr.. Brownell, furthermore, is
a smart operator. In the absence
of Bricker, he was able TO nego-
tate a compromise which left
Republican matters pretty much
in his hands.
The only thing he had TO give
up was a promise that he would
not use his office TO promote the
Dewey candidacy for 1913. That
in itself, however, betrayed the
inner presence Of an opposition
to Dewey as the future leader
OF the party.
With the assistance Of his
aide, J. Russell Sprague, he was
able 10 get a controlling major
ity into line for his proposition,

DECENT selection of Mrs. Dudley
~ c. Hay of Detroit as secretary of
the Republican national committee
is an honor not only to her personally
and to this state which was the
birthplace of the Republican party.
It is a well merited expression of
recognition of the stalWart work ac.
complished recently by the women
of the party.
Indeed, whether conscious or not,
it is tacit admission that the femi-
nine cohorts of the Republicans have
through these current lean years
been crowding the men in party
achievement.
There is no question but that
many of the so called leaders on the
male side have been floundering in a
morass of defeatism. Their opposition
to the Democratic party in power has
been tentative and listless. It has
lacked the spark of aggressive or
ganization.
THAT is admitted frankly by all
Il disinterested and clear thinking
Republicans.

of the presidential campaign last fall

~ dangerously so.

DETROIT is short of coal but not
~ dangerously So
AS far as householders are con-
cerned there need be no fear of an
acute shortage if they behave reason
ably and avoid panic ordering.
Edward G. Crowley, area distribu-
tion manager of the Solid Fuels Ad-
ministration, assured the public
Saturday that if they cooperate
sensibly Detroit will have plenty Of
coal to prevent unheated homes de
spite the present three day embargo
on coal shipments.
The problem is one of railroad
transportation rather than any lack
of coal at the mines and, according
to Crowley, it is temporary trans,
portation jam which the embargo is
designed to cure.

Mr.. WalIace'S
Reward
BY E. F. TOMPKINS

DENIED another chance at the vice presidency,
~ Mr.. Wallace stumped hard in support Of Mr..
Roosevelt for the fourth term.
Consequently, as President Roosevelt wrote to
Jesse Jones:
Henry Wallace deserves almost ANY SERV.
ICE which HE BELIEVES he can satisfactorily
perform.
II told him this at the end of the campaign, i'm
which he displayed the utmost devotion to our
cause"
In the same letter, moreover, Mr. Roosevelt
blandly accepted Mr. Wallace's own valuation of
himself, declaring him to be fully suited" for the
cabinet post which Mr.. Jones was peremptorily
asked to vacate in Mr.. Waace'S favor
AS to this-Mr. Wallace's fitness-Mr. Jones
pointedly told the President:
cannot agree with either of you.
A ND it is difficult indeed to discover in Henry
"A Wallace'S entire record anything that seems
even remotely to fit him to represent trade and
commerce in the government, to command the
enormous resources of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation with all its uncharted powers for
good or evil, and to assist in postwar revival of
the free enterprise system in which it has long
been evident Mr.. Wallace does not entirely believe
For Henry Wallace's sole business experience
has been experimenting with corn pollens on an
Iowa farm; the unsuccessful publication of an
agricultural publication inherited from his re-
spected father; and so lamentable debacle as
head of the Bureau of Economic Warfare that he
was summarily removed from that position by the
President who now appoints him to another of
even greater responsibility.
Furthermore, Mr.. Walace's "ideology" will,
as M. Jones wryly commented, make his new
designation "hard for the business and financial
world to understand
HEIS- the same Mr. Wallace who in book
II beittled the Constitution and in a speech dis
paraged our bill of Rights democracy"
He is the same Mr.. Wallace who remarked not
long ago that America-on whose war production
Soviet Russia has depended for safvation-has
much to learn" from Soviet Russia
He is the same Mr.. Wallace who as secretary
of agriculture powed under the cotton crops,
betraying our cotton export market to foreigners,
and who killed off little pigs and paid farmers for
not growing foodstuffs so as to supplant an
economy of abundance" with an economy of
scarcity" when people were going hungry through
out the world
If these are qualifications for secretary of
commerce, what could DISQUALIFY visionary
man for such place?
And If the Senate confirms this appointment.
what standard will there be in the future when a
successful presidential candidate has personal
political debts to be paid at the public expense?

Subjects ranging from diplomatic,
political and fashion glimpseS of the
San Francisco Conference to the
part women will play in postwar
aviation were discussed yesterday by
two outstanding women guest speak
ers at the Washington Fashion
Group luncheon at the Statler Hotel.
Mrs. India Moffett Edwards, con-
tributor to the Democratic Digest,
official organ of the women'S di-
vision of the National Democratic
party, of which she is executive sec
retary, gave impressions of the con-
ference acquired after several weeks
in San Francisco, and Jacqueline
Cochran, former director of the
WASPS and internationally famous
aviatrix, emphasized the Importance
of women becoming more air-mind-
ed if commercial aviation is to sue
ceed in peace times.
Realizing the interest of her host
esses in what the well-dressed wom-
en- wore" while attending the World
Security Council as delegates, ad-
visers or just the wives of famous
husbands, Mrs. Edwards paid tribute
to the South American women pres
ent at the conference, declaring they
were 'the best-dressed women III
San Francisco" They drew as much
attention as Mr.. Molotov, she
added, land Mr.. Molotov was by far
the most interesting figure at the
conference"
Mrs. Edwards praised those who
participated in drawing up the
United Nations Charter. which, she
said, was not only "a workable docu-
ment," but was more flexible than
the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, with
international law and human rights
much more stressed"
She told of the important part
women played in drawing up the
charter, with eight women delegates
and eight women advisers partici-
pating in the discussions.
Women were much in evidence att
the meetings, the speaker added,
and even Russia, while not repre-
sented by a woman delegate, had
woman reporter from Pravda on
the daily scene.
Chic and attractive in a turquoise
blue summer-silk costume, her single
adornment the distinguished service
ribbon, Miss Cochran, who is the
only woman to wear this citation,
made an eloquent appeal for wom-
ems support of postwar air. trans
portation.
Women must overcome their ap-
prehension toward air travel and
become more air-minded in their
postwar plans for going places, she
declared, If commercial avia ton is
to succeed.

the travelling public is represented

by women, Miss Cochrane said that
a very small per cent of this num-
Der travels by air If it can be
avoided. This reluctance to travel
by plane must be overcome If Ameri-
can aviation is to advance or even

air power, she declared The Sc
curity of air travel as compared with
other methods of transportation will
be evident following the war when
the number OF persons transported
safely from the United States to
eveS part of the world can be made
public, the speaker added.
In an analysis of the woman
flyers part in postwar aviation, the
former director of the WASPS ex-
pressed the opinion that women
should be employed as saleswomen
and demonstrators for airplane
manufacturers, but that women rep
too great a risk, due to pos
sible marriage and children, to en-
