 Take a handful of vivid words and breathe poetry into them, Put wings on your thoughts and send them soaring into the literary heav- ems. But they will fall short of the tiibute our fighting men and women deserve. The most inspired elo- Quence seems puny when compared with their towering valor. Their deeds defy translation into words. We can best thank them by pre- serving the ideals they fought to protect.
 OPA-chief Chester Bowics rates a nod. He has been tangling with gimme-gangS eager Co clamp a half- nelson on our economic system. Al most single-handed and without fanfare Bowles has been stemming the tide of imitation lie has been getting a rough going lover from well-heeled lobbyists, but he never stopped swinging Today the greedy hordes have renewed their oflen- sive. Now, more than ever. Bowles must have patriotic Americans in his corner. Support him and you will be helping yourself.
 Don't forget to save a bouquet of orchids for Gen Eisenhower. Here is a General who ranks with Amer ica's greatest military heroes. Here iS a statesman who should make a4 thick skulls in shame Here is a humanitarian who knows what the war was fought for and is battling to hold our precarious peace h. deed, this is a man we can point to with pride and say: Here is an Americanl
 Drop a thank-you note to John Edgar Hoover and his G-men. Their war record is all aces. Their peacetime activities are just as fine. They have the respect of Americans because G-men have lived up to the confidence We placed in them. Yes, they are stra.eht-shooters in every sense Of the phrase who represent the mightiest ally the forces Of law and order have ever had. And the irony of it: G-man Hoover has re- ceived medals from several foreign nations-but none from the U. Si
 Thanks, thanx. thanques to the majority of competent legislators. Congress is burdened with several flapjaws scrambling for headlines However, they are outnumbered by hard-working law makers who keep Democracys machine rolling minus any to-doodle. Conscientious Congressmen seldom appear in the public prints, although their expert legislating has helped write many bright pages in American history.
 Here's a hallelujah for Americas scientists. Everyone is aware of their overpowering contribution to victory. Most important is this angle: The test-tube boys have come out of their laboratories and are giving an excellent account of themselves in the public arena. They are providing the most devas- tating rebuttal to political dead- enders who curled their lips at pro- iessors and jeered them as starry eyed gents. Today, top-notch sci entists are debating international issues with logic and realism, while die-hard ponticos wallow in the never-never land of ignorance.
 Labro merits a salute. Some un- ruly labor leaders should be con- demned, but their tactics must not ne used to tarnish labors splendid record. While a few monkey wrench fiippers (hiya, John L) grab publicity, it isn't news that the overwhelming majority of workers concentrated on clutching military victory and are now working for economic stability. Labor not only worked for America-many work CTS did fine jobs as soldiers. Think that over, bub.
 Management also deserves a boost. Don't judge industry by Sewell Avery or the cartelists. They represent only a small portion Of management. Without production miracles, victory could not have been attained. Arrangements know how played a vital role in that tri- umph. Labor and management are team. One cannot exist with out the other. The fact that they turned out the weapons for victory is a tribute to both.
 Aim a broadside of praise at Ad- 11irals Halsey and Nimitz. Their inspiring leadership sparked the Nays slam-bang trouncing of the Jap fleet. They sunk their ships, their hopes and never stopped slug ging until the Rising Sons-of-Bees cried Uncle Sam.
 Asst Secy of State Sprullle Brad en should be mentioned here He steers clear of the usual diplomatic Sanskrit and never muffs an oppor- tunity to blast Argentinazls and other Latin-American buliy-boys. It Is a refreshing switch from the pussy Hooters who control the striped pants clan. All Of which IS a sad commentary on our diplo- macy in general When one diplo- mat has the spunk to speak out against fascism in any part of the world-it is news. (And in lew weeks-because of our state Depts interference, the FBI will not have one agent In any of the South American countriesD
