doesn't mean the fight is over, There are many ready to replace him.
 "You must stay in the arena with the rest of us. You must stick with us in spite of the blue pencilers and others who would like nothing better than for you to leave the little people stranded.
 Hold onl Achievements, and that means every CT who fought the forces of hate overseas. are coming home. You must stick 1t out. You home to continue the fight back are our biggest voicel-W. K. Lewis"
 Dear Soldier: Don IddOn musta been kiddOn.)
 From Jack HelIman's pillar In the Daily Variety: Tn Q nation of exc plOsive emOtiOnaIlsts like ours, Q handy thing to have around Is safety valve. Someone to crack down when 6 crackpOt or publicity seeker gets out of line. Or some- one to rise In defense of dead Presidents memory.
 We believe in radio We have such safety valve. spuring steam at times, but striking fear in the hearts of those who would go off the deep end more often. That man is wv, and the network on which he broadcasts deserves & pat for it's courage in letting him go after those who decry everything and run roughshod over regulations, in- stitutions and minorities.
 "Give 1t a thought. If 1t weren't for Winchell, we'd be plagued by demagogues and their fix who 90 to any length to land on page 1.
 "An occasional exposure is good for the country, but better still, Q vigllant watch over the blather- mouths cast It's frightening shadow. Wlnchell, with . radio audience of roughly 25 million every Sunday night, mOIds more public opinion than all the editorial pages in the cOuntry's press combined.
 "He Is quoted more than any pub- lie figure and Mondays chief topic is what he had to say the night be- fore. The mightiest force in pub- lie opinion, he is the nations sem tinel and the bogeyman of those who fear the impact of his influ- ence. For which the country Is indebted to radio as Q stalwart de- fender of free speech, with the courage to open its microphones to a fearless crusader against sly propa. ganda and phony patriotism"
 Hyde Park, N. Y. My dear MT. Wlnchell: Thank you for letting me see the letters from SO many of your listeners. ! appreciate your thought. fuIness and am returning them for your files. I've heard you make some of those grand brOadcasts and ale ways feel grateful. Very sincerly, Eleanor Roosevelt"
 Henry Wallace's literary lace: "A Venomous few are seeking to black en the name of r. D. Roosevelt, 30 years ago other men whose ways were evil used the same weasel words about Abraham Lincoln.
 Their motive Is always the same and always as obvious as 1t IS ugly, They believe that by slander- ing a great man who is dead they can cause the people for whom he labored to forget his noble deeds and finally turn back from their on. ward march. This enterprise will fail as surely as 1t failed in l066."
 Senator Burton K. Wheeler, . Democrat, is the latest to pc trapped by his own words The other day the Senator carelessly de- cIared: Congress was not to blame for Pearl HarbOr because there never was an appropriation for de- fensc requested by the Administra- ton that was not granted"
 Is that SO? Senator Wheeler was most blind to the situation In the Pacific. Senator Wheeler voted against every important defense measure and never voted for any of those requested by the Roose.. welt Administration On August 27th, l94l, Senator Wheeler misled the people by saying: ' see no reason why we cannot live at peace with Japan who is one of our pest customers"
 In short, Senator Wheeler might have been able to see more clearly into the future if 1t hadn't been Tor his blind hatred of FDR.
 From the editorial page of 8 news paper that has fought, criticize and opposed FDR-even now that lie is gone. The date Is July 2Srd, 1922: "If the Axis wins-histOry Will lay much of the blame on MT. Roosevelt, saying that he undertook iob for which he was not fitted. If the United Nations win, history will say that MT. Roosevelt was Q great warrior President, deserving most of the credit for the U. B. part in the victory"
 John Chamberlin'se article m a recent picture magazine, quoting Governor Dewey. was an attack on Roosevelt The main idea back of the story is that FDR dellper- ately brought on the war .. Then, the same issues page 89 offers the following contradition: When Ger. many and Japan broke the world balance of power peace was no longer possible for the United states Regardless of it's legislation or the
