to carry out this policy has proved exceedingly diff cult. For one thing, War Labor Board is passing out of the picture and there is comparable agency left to enforce the new order.
 When Gen. Macarthur refused to take responsi- bty for order to destroy the four Jap cycotrons he passed the buck back to unnamed authorities in Washington, where the order originated. He was shooting at the War Department, which prepares all the major directives under which MacArthur is ef- fecting complete revolution in Japan Ex-Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy let that cat out of the bag just before he resigned Actually the Su preme Commander is supreme only in deciding how he carries out the orders
 MacArthur also gets some bucks passed back at him. War Shipping Administration people in- clined to feel the Supreme Commander is responsible for some of the shipping mudde in the Pacific Part of the trouble centers around ships loaded with am munition. It's difficult trying to decide what to do with them. Some arrived in Europe just after VE- Day, ordered to the Pacific and arrived there just after VJ-Day There's unloading them at ASiatic ports still less in sending the stuff back the United States So the ships sit in ports before the very eyes of GI'S raring to get home and told there's shipping shortage. And Macarthur gets the blame for the whole business since he's in supreme command.
 Army Air Forces soon will announce details on two Of its next war bomberS, in addition to the huge B-36. First will be the B-35, the long, awaited Northrup Flying Wing. believed by avi aton engineers to be the real plane of the future
 The B-35 will be between the B-29 Superfortress and the B-36 in size, with WingSpread of TIP feet and four of the new 5000 h.p engines The other plane will be the Boeng B-50, enlarged and improved B-29 with four of the 5000 hp. engines. It will introduce heated wings and tail surfaces for de-icng.

war? And where's truer simile of this world newly reduced to the size of a neighborhood? We've got to keep living here whether we like it not. We can get closer to liking it if we do something about liking each other, and real place to start is in the sadly fouled matter of the GI and the French
 l have here letter from a French girl named Madelaine LenaSlot, Cherbourg. One of the CTS with whom l am working, she writes, gave your article CTS Abroad Can Help Out,' to read. I have been deeply moved by it, and although I am not CT, thought I, also, could try to answer some of your questions.
 T am one out of the millions of French people who feel deep gratefulneSS and admiration your great country and it's wonderful and terrific effort am one out of the thousands who in the fighting underground, devoted themselves to the Allies cause. and wished joyously everything of D. Day and following days to help your wonderful para troopers.
 ". during the combat from D-Day until the end of July, but especially after the landing, we helped your so brave and courageous boys . many American lives were saved It's our pride and our honor to have done These French people who devoted so much of themselves to the GIs they saved hid nurSed and fed had the feeling that those boys belonged little bit to themselves They should have been glad to know what happened to them and to hear from them sometimes. Many, too many, are the paratroopers, and the paratroopers families who wrote answered the letters written by the French families
 Don't get me wrong . it's only that we ex- pected that risks shared life spent in tragic circumstances, would havestaught them to under stand the true friendship of the real French people who, fortunately are still the majority in our martyr zed nation.
 We are often shocked by many things the CTS Gear troops) do They seem to think every French girl is loose woman. They whistle full in their faces They call them noisily iii the streets we received them in our homes as if they were our own brothers. We loved and admired them as such I, and my sisters, all through the occupation rev. erently tended the graves of the gallant boys of your Air Force. We felt it the least could do for their mothers and sisters They gave their lives for them, but we also felt very deeply that they gave their lives for :"
 The moral. soldier is obvious. You haven't been nice enough to some pretty fine people You haven't acted as decently and thoughtfully as you would at home We need these people, their faith and their friendship. We've got to live in the world with them They won't always be down Those ot you who patron4ze and insult the French aren't doing your country much good Your country at this point all the friends 1t can get.

ARE WE BEING STAMPEDED BACK TO THE 1920S, THEN WPA AGAIN? WRITER

 No. Arlington, N. J. December 13, 1945. Editor of The Democrat:
 Common sense tells me that Con- gTeSS is mostly to blame for pres ent confusion in our economic life; and also for the trend away from Democracy abroad In the popular mind, Results are the Touchstone
 In 1944, we, the people elected the majority of the present Con- greSS on a Well-defined platform of progressive New Deal economic planning that should continue this Republic on the right track toward our Democratic ideals. We are paying them eff it's not crude or rude to mention itD ten thousand year each to carry out our man. date. Instead of doing it, they seem to have allowed ultra-con- 1 sarVative propagandists to stampede them on back track for 1920. A dangerous course, with public ODinion what it is, and will inevit- ably lead in 1946 to a stampede of the voters for 1860, a jump of fourteen years nearer Democratic ideals
 If Congress had put first things FIRST, as our President advised instead of fussing over the irrele- want (to present problems), and had passed the unemployment bill AS and WHEN first introduced the astounding success of friendly cooperation between government business and labor in the winning of the war, would have carried over and won the peace.

DEER POPULATION
(BoSton PoSt)

One of natures wonders as evil denced in New England is the deer population. Despite the usual heavy fall slaughter of the animals the number of deer seems to remain as great as ever. For instance, reports from Maine are that during the November open season 24,822 deer were legally slain by Maine and nonresident hunters, who establish ed an all-time record, even despite poor hunting conditions.
