 Bykowski also has the satisfac- ton of knowing that he forced the gentleman from Mississippi to get up earlier than usual in the morn ing.
 Bilbo did not like being picketed, and when he found that Bykowski was always on hand at about nine in the morning, the Senator started getting up earlier. By gradual stages, he finally found himself leaving the house as early as 7:l5 in the morning-but BykoWski was always there.
 Bykowski was asked to leave one Washington hotel, which didn't like the publicity of having him as a guest, and took an inexpensive room at the Hay-Adams. But stranger came up to him one day and offered to let the veteran use his luxurious suite, and Bykowski stayed there the rest of his time in Washington.

ARMY DISCHARGES

Representative Lyndon Johnson of Texas is preparing to blast the Army regarding the following point in the muddled discharge situation
 The Army's announcement that men with 45 points or more will not be sent to the Pacific means more than 100000 men will neither be sent overseas nor released. In other words, men with between 45 to 80 points will have to mark time in this country doing nothing.
 Another blast that Congressmen plan to launch against the Army is illustrated by the remark of Maj. Gen Elwood R. Quesada, ot Air Force Counter Intelligence Gen 0uesada admitted to his staff of 29 officers that it had been recommended they be cut to 8 peace-time force of five officers
 But" he added I'm letting three of you be discharged anc keeping 25. If I kept only five officers, I'd have to go back to my permanent rank of captain
 In other words, a general cannot be a general unless he has large number of men to command The more men discharged from the Army, the less justification foi generals. So with an all-time record of 1900 generals, you can under stand why discharges move slowly

DON'T TRUST TOO MUCH

1T is ALL very fine to trust
some other players bidding be-
u you had never known him to
make an unsound. crazy or psy-
chic bid, But you never know
about him. Maybe he had kept
steady and conservative just be-
cause he had not recognized a sit

chic would pay. Meantime he had
been building up a reputation for
reliability which he could cash in
when the right time arrived. The
fact that he never did it before is
no assurance he might not DO it on
the very next deal.
