One blast merely indicates that an official handout is ready, but three honks can mean anything except the announcement of Ger many's unconditional surrender. This news will come not from here, but from the Allied capitals.
 Therefore, whenever these ugly klaxons sound - and they do, doz- ems of times daily-everyone here holds his breath waiting to see whether they'll stop after one blast or go on to three. If it is three, there's a mad scramble down the stairs to the main lounge which currently serves headquarters as the press room.
 Five minutes after any three honk warning, one of the news officers on the staff of Colonel R. Ernest Dupuy, chief of headquar- ters operations, starts to read the flash. No one may leave the room prior to the end of the message. Everyone not filing flashes on the story must stand back to give press agency representatives room to run to the censors. Copy is transmit ted in order to receipt and so the race to the censors is a matter of considerable concern to wire agen- cieS.
 Behind the receipt of hot news at SHAEF is the complicated -com munications network linking the Scribe by telephone and teletype to each army group and through the groups to the armies. During the normal course of the day news is received here three tines-just prior to morning, afternoon and evening briefings. When big story breaks that calls for special briefing.

 Tt would enable Uncle Sam, who can lick Hitler and Hirohito but is baffed by James Caesar Petrillo, to lay a firm hand at last on the shoulder of the little music czar. At present he can cripple the networks by refusing to permit them to serve stations which do not employ the number of musicians he demands. In many cases these employees are musicians by courtesy only, but their dues go to swell Petrillo's union treasury.

A magazine, criticizing reportoriai accuracy argued that "the show pffs might do more damage than the wreckers of the peace, atc"
 The magazine attacks the few jack assolationists who distort this and that Gin an effort to sabotage Gne conference) and links them with a few who get bum tip along with some news beats .. The same mdg lightly dismisses the sour one tha. press association was caught with on the premature surrender flash.
 6ut what we started out to ac- curately jot down was this . The weekly magazine makes good ar gument when it attacks those who came to San Francisco to wreck the confab :. But then, it sets a fine example of doing just that when it carelessly reports that bell boys at the Mark Hopkins hotel complained of the poor British and Chinese tippers . That's dandy way, of course, to make our brave Chinese and British allies love us all !. And return to their home lands feeling more secure With American friendship. Hmf
 The Mark Hopkins management has apologized to the insulted dele gation, and the Mark Hop bellboys have telegraphed the editors as fol- lows: We bellboys att he Mark Hopkins never complained that the British and Chinese were poor tip, pers. They have been extremely generous. They use the same sys- tenn as Americans and tip in large amounts on varying occasions In spite of mercenary reputation, we definitely state that tipping is our smallest worry now as We are mainly anxious to do our bit as representatives of the U. s. and San Francisco, and comments like yours do not make it easier for us to do what we can, even in our small way, to promote good inter- national relations and understand ing among nations, which is what this conference is all about.

activities on the Bishop Park Ten
mis- Courts. For this work Wagner
states that he has obtained Forest
Schultz who has been City Champ
for the last six or seven years. Reed
Rowan an experienced Tennis
Coach. These two men will both
direct in instruction and tourna-
ments. They win operate the courts
enabling all to have fair chance
to play and will give instruction to
beginners and coach anyone want
ing to improve their play.
At the present time the club plans
to meet every other Tuesday night
at the Log Cabin, Bishop park with
the first meeting beginning Tues
day night May the first at 7:30
where plans will be made. Club
membership is open to anyone in
Wyandotte young or old and the
membership dues are very small.
The club Is sponsoring a dance at
Masonic Temple May the 18th and
will have Nick Jabe's orchestra for
the night. BY that time the Club
epects to have more than hundred
members. Anyone interested may
join the club by meeting anyone Of
the directors or by going direct to
the Recreation Office in the City
Hall.

Dear Mr.. CAN'T:

all the people responsible know
how much the paper means to me
and all the fellows who have the
honor of reading it. You would
really be surprised how much the
newspaper means to me, being away
from home for such q long time.
In all the places I have seen, in
my estimation there are some pretty
nice, but none can compare with
.Wyandotte and all its fine people.
Up until recently have been
receiving the paper as fast as the
mail and it is a great morale
builder to know that soon we viii
be able to be home and enjoy all
the fine things that the greatest
city Of them all has to offer. I
imagine that the reason for the
delay in the mail Is due to the fact
that we have new address. know
that you viii change this so we can
continue receiving the paper which
we all look forward to reading so
much.
