In business government should be the umpire who en-

But when government goes into business and completes
with its citizens the American tradition of play

advantages that denied to all the other players.

some of the writer's are already be-

great character, Inspector Maigret,
is featured in a dozen books, each
one containing two stories. To know
Philo Vance, the late S. S. Van

to know Maigret is all wrong. One
should grow up, in the reading
sense, and know Chandler and Sim
enon at least, of the moderns.
The French author is French all
the way through, which means that
his stories are quite different from
ours, or the English. They are not
Just reeled-off yarns, puzzling the
reader until the last page, but are
basically novels. Such books as

The woman of the gray house in
Affairs of Destiny" will linger in
the memory. The Shadow Falls"
issued this autumn, is offered by the
publishers as not a mystery but
with two murders, a suicide and an
unexplained death, it seems very
much the old Simenon, and that is
good enough. Both "Maigret Re-

TO DEM. power

WASHINGTON, d. C.-CNNPA)
After visiting the White House
last Wednesday, Paul Fitzpatrick,
New York state Democratic chair
man. refused 10 divulge the con-
tents Of a memorandum which he
left with President Truman, but
said. however, that passage Of the
bill to create a permanent Fair EN-
ployment Practices committee was
necessary for the Democrats to re-
tain their strength in New York
State.
MR.. FITZPATRICK said he
agreed with a recent statement by
Senator James M. Mead, Democrat,
Of New York, that the party would
be weakened in New York state
unless southern Democrats in Con-
gress carried out the pledge OF the
party platform favoring a fair en-
ployment practice act and similar
legislation.
In the memorandum Mr.. Fitz-
patrick complained that only one
veteran in twenty is able TO under
stand the procedures of the Vet
erans' administration and obtain
the benefits to which he is entitled
under the CT bill Of rights and
other legislation without employ
ing a lawyer or other aid.
