 Disclosure of the Greenland activity, which re- suited in the sinking of two armed trawlers, the capture of third and the capture of sixty men, also calls attention to the many forgotten fronts that still exits in Europe and in the Pacific. The Germans still hold the Channel Islands With announcement to the contrary it be assumed they also still have isolated pockets of resistance along the Biscayan Bay coast of France.

THE PERPETUAL DANGER

Perpetual danger from the legion of the quis- ngs" is cause for warning the editorial page of Knickerbocker Weekly.
 There is no doubt that when the war is won there will remain the invisible legion which will not have given up the legion of the qusngs. These traitors form an international evil The most danger GUS Nazis and Fascsts will have disguised themselves into harmless looking characters under new aliases They will need time to create positions, very probably much more diffused throughout both hem- sphere than before" says this weekly Netherlands Magazine published in New York to keep the world informed about Holland
 People who honestly think that at the end of collaborator will cease activity, people who con- democracy-these people make an error which in its consequences is very perilous" Knickerbocker
 contributor to the magazine comments on the tendency of Holanders abroad to feel sorry for the Dutch traitors rounded up by their patriotic country men as their country released from German occu- patton
 Sure enough they had hated and condemned the quislings long the latter were free and could commit their crimes with impunity; but soon as sone of the guilty had been caught these far-away bystanders became victims of the sentimentality"

STEVE EARLY PROTECTS PRESS

It's not known outside the White House, but Steve Early threatened to resign last month in a friendly but firm disagreement with the President over two newspapermen. When the President returned from his Georgia vacation one of the first things he did was call in Early and propose that the press credentials of Patterson-Mc Mccormick columnists John ODonnell and Frank Waldrop be taken up. T don't want them at my press con-. ferences any more" Roosevelt told Early.
 But every paper in the country will be hollering about freedom of the press if you do that" Early replied
 The President told Early it was not case of freedom, that the same papers could assign other men to the White House. He has long suffered from the vicious pens of these two whose isolationist anti British, anti-Russian pens furnish many quotes for the Axis radio.
 Early then said he would do as the President asked-but that if he did so he would then resign as press secretary. And he could not be talked out of it. So President Roosevelt yielded to the judgement of the man who has guided his press relations for l2 long years. He wanted Steve around the White House more than he wanted ODonnell and Waldrop kept away.
 NOTE-The President once be- slowed a German iron cross on O'Donnell.

 But Sparkman insisted and the lad said, Its a little town called Hartselle.'
 That happens to be my home town, too," Sparkman replied. What did you say your name is?" Horace Orr replied the soldier. Do you know Myrtle Orr" Sparkman asked.
 Yes, sir. She's my stepmother. She married my pa," was the re- ply Do you know her?"
 Sparkman then asked if the lad had any message for his step mother. Myrtle Orr, now widow is cook in Sparkman's home in Washington.

a terrific dressing down-because WFA officials were working on a deal" to sell the powder for animal feed. It could be used for animal feed, but that was all.
 Part of the wastage undoubtedly is due to the natural wastage of war and may be unavoidable. But in addition War Food officials have failed to make inspections and do not reject a lot of poor quality food.
 In many cases, the Government bought millions Of pounds of eggs, paying good prices simply on pres entation of a shipping receipt The warehouscrs who had agreed to store .thcse eggs until WFA could get them to drying plants immedi- ately began to howl.
 The. odcr of a few rotten eggs can ccntaminate all the eggs Tn a warehc hcuse-including those stored for private concerns as well as WFA. So the strage people began writing WFA urging disposal Of these putrid eggs" For instance, the Rainier Fruit Co.,, of Yakima, Wash, whote that practically all the cases in it's shipment contained maggots or cockroaches."
 The New Haven, Conn.,, Cold Storage Company reported it had received shipment of eggs which had been without refrigeration for from four to six weeks. One com- pany reported receipt of a car of colored Easter eggs more than a month after the holiday, another company reported receipt of a ship ment of putrid ducks eggs and there were constant complaints of inadequate shipping containers. Some cases were made of fibre which frequently collapsed when a second case was piled on top.
 Warehouser James Ronin of AL bany, New York, wrote Andrew Current, WFA warehouseman now resigned These eggs are coming in lousy condition and the smell from some of them in the box cars (eggs should be shipped only in refrigerator cars) would almost knock you off your feet"
 The result is storage companies, though anxious to aid in the WFA egg-drying program, can't con- taminate other food in their plans, so many have simply refused to accept shipments from WFA.

ITS A SMALL WORLD

While in Rome during the trip he took with other members of the House Military Affairs Committee, Representative John Sparkman of Alabama visited base hospital. Arriving there he was delighted to find that the nurses had moved all the Alabama boys into a single ward so that their likeable Con- gressman might talk to them.
 Sparkman chatted with the group, asking their names and home towns in turn. Finally he came to a colored soldier who seemed embarrassed at meeting a full-fledged Congressman.
