Instead of feeling insulted Rockefeller went to welles and asked what he wanted done. Things got better after that But 1t long time before the Rockefeller office lived down it's bad name Tor the South American tours of the American Ballet, tne Vale Glee Club an exhibition of modern art, ana Douglas Fairbanks This last, by the way, was the Presidents own idea.
 To give anything like complete list or Rocke- feler projects is impossible here or any place else for that matter
 It started the blacklist of Axis firms and the buying out of Axis airineS It set up an organizaton to run Mexcos bogged-down railroads It starteo new businesses including the building of wooden sallinB vessels to beat the German submarines
 In most of the projects, the idea was to furnish IT s. technicans and money to start the thing then gradually cut down on U. s. backing apd turn the works over to local governments. Some commitments have been made to run into i948. however, so the saving off process can't be done immediatey'
 Total appropriations and authorizations by con- press for this good neghbor work, through June 3V l946 amount to $l56O000o0, of which about $osOoO.- GOO is as yet unspent. At It's peak Sse RocKeieuer office had about 1900 employees in Washington ana abroad.
 As long as he was mere co-ordinator ana tne advocate of the Latin American republics before the United States Rockefeller was popular with them ai It was when he persuaded to become an asSist- ant secretary of state and had to make decisions tnc southern republics might not like that he courteo oS. aster The peak of his career came at MeXco OlVy and San Francisco conferences.
 It is not generally known, but Rockefeller really picked and backed Sprulle Braden for the tougn as signment of U. S. ambassador to the Argentine. The irony of the situation is that Braden was picKeo py Secy Byrnes to succeed Rockefeller There was iufner irony in that the ax fell the day after Rockefeller made his speec in criticism of the Argentine which he tried so desperately to bring back into the family of American nations.

The everyday type of American the sort most of us could appreciate and knew at time another portrayed the stage by the late Frank Craven The obitu niY notices designate him American stage and actor Most of us associate him with the stage in That's Eratitude," "The First Year" and "Our Town"
 Frank Craven was in class by himself actor He could be artcuate and narcuate most effectively We perhaps recalling him in play that had lengthy run, sats Gratitude in which he most of the time in the oghouse underplayng just enough to make success in Che portrayal He could be ridiculous and profound.
 American audiences found in Frank Craven real pal. They understood him the person the opposite his name MT Craven what might be termed "a natural" stage and screen and phrase of of leading drama critics to express his appeal to the American pubic-"the best pipe and panspocket actor Gn the business"

Te mel indicated to his intelligence officer Capt Edwin D. Layton, that he was aware of the possibility that Jap carriers might be in sight of Pearl Harbor. Yet Kimmel did nothing to check up and ordered shore leave Saturday, Dec G. just as in normal times The facts are these: Capt. Layton had done an outstanding job of intelligence against great obstacles More recently he has directed intelligence for the entire Pacific Fleet with equal efficiency Layton called on Kmmel the morning of Dec l. 1941 and told him the Japs had taken an unusual step He told Kimmel the Japs had changed all their naval radio calls Kimmel then ordered Layton to analyze immediately the where abouts of the Jap fleet.
 Layton put together all his secret information and reported back to Kimmel on Dec. 2 that he didn't know where two Jap carrier divisions were.
 
 'WhaE You don't know where carrier division and carrier division II areP" Kimmel asked.
 "No sir, do not" Capt. Layton replied T think they are in home waters but do not know where they are The rest of the unts-I feel pretty confi dent of their location.
 Testifying before the secret naval board of in quiry Capt Layton continued:
 Then Admr Kimme looked at me- as sometimes he would with somewhat stern countenance and yet partially with twinkle in his eye and said, DO you mean that they could be rounding Diamond Head and you wouldn't know it? words to that effect My reply was that hope they would be sighted before now. ."
 Diamond Head is the major landmark right on the Island of Oahu near the entrance to Pearl Har- bor
 The officers who questioned Layton didn't under stand what he meant by referring to the twinkle in Kmmels eye, and they asked him if he felt the dis cussion had been serious. Layton replied that the question absolutely serious and that failure to locate the four carriers most important.
 Later on, every day up to the Pearl Harbor attack Layton sent reports to Kmmel pointing out there was knowledge of where the missing Jap carriers were Layton also told Kmmel that 200 Jap naval calls had been partially identified and that not single from carrier. When ships are on a combat mission they maintain radio silence Thus 1t was known that the carriers were up to something
 But Kimmel did nothing about the warnings. He never sent out single plane from any fleet head quarters to look for the missing Japs This was

historians and researchers will be digging into its records years to come arguing about its successes and failures praising blaming Nelson Rockefeller, who now makes his exit from government through acceptance of his resignation from the office of as- sstant secretary of state in charge of Latin American affairs
 Office of Inter-American Affairs was young Nell son Rockefellers idea right from the beginning. He made trip through South America just before the war and came back all excited about German inroads and U. s. unpopularity. With Beardsley Ruml and Wallace K Harrison he wrote long memorandum on the subject. Ruml took it to Harry Hopkins Next thing Rockefeller knew. he called to Washington by President Roosevelt and given the job of CO., ordinator of American Affairs to strengthen good neighbor policy ties with the other American republics. First the State Department knew about this was when it read it in the papers.
 With Presidential emergency funds, Rockefeller began to operate high, wide and handsome. Some of the things he did irked the State Department no end. It finally got so bad that Sumner Welles had to prepare memorandum which the President ini- tailed requiring the co-ordinator to have his pro- grams approved by the State Department.

DOT AMI INFANTILE
 PARALYSIS
(New York Herald Tribune)

(New York Herald Tribune)
 Experiments to determine the eff. fectiveness of the powerful insecti. eide DOT in combating infantile paralysis have been going on quietly under the direction of the Fly Abatement Unite of the Army Neu. rotropic Virus Commission, in co- operation with various government departments in the Infantile Pa ralysis. The program has in- cluded experiments to eradi- cate flies in controlled areas of Savannah, New Haven, Conn, and Paterson, N. J. But with the rapid spread of the disease in Rockford, H., where l53 cases and seventeen deaths have been reported since July first. the unit decided to make the test there also.
 The doctors in charge emphasize that the DOT spraying program is purely experimental. Dr. Joseph L. Metnick, one of the units four phy- sicians, warns that, There is no indication that poliomyelitis can be controlled in this way, and no false hopes should be aroused at this time" And Dr. G. w. Gudakunst, medical director of the Infantile Paralysis Foundation, makes clear that although flies are known to habor the virus, 1t has not been es- tablished that they spread the dis ease.
 The program of the Abatement Unit, of which Dr. John R. Paul, professor of preventive medicine at Yale University, is director, is to use specially equipped Army planes to spray some areas in a comnun- ity so that comparison may be made with unsprayed in order to establish the relation, if any, between eradi- cation and the spread of infantile paralysis.
 Despite the warnings about false hopes, the experiments are attract ing wide attention. For if the Army's success in combating ma laria and typhus by destroying the insects which spread them can be carried over to halt the inroads of infantile paralysis, 1t would be a very great achievement indeed. The nation joins with anxious parents in Rockford and other affected com munities in following with poignant interest this latest effort to deal with the disease.

 It's interesting to go into tn German homes and lived in quite few. It stands to reason that you can pretty well read the character of man from the place in which he lives. As our Army has moved in for its occupation, 1t has requisitioned usually public buildings or former German barracks for the troops and hotels if still standing or apart
 ent houses if ditto for the officers correspondents ct a If there weren't enough hotels and apartment houses they have taken private residences The Ger mans thus dispoSsessed merely have time to lock up their valuables or take what they carry, and go over to live with relatives.
 Then we move into their homes. which are just as they used them. It's an opportunity for the in- mate observation a peacetime tourist never would have lived in 'em in all sections, and class for class they're practically the same.
 The Germans are supposed to love music and yet never played on lousier pianos, even in col- lege They're big and solid and the cases beauti ful. but they're phony Hitler All the show is in the case. The action is always muddy. the tone thin, the net appraisal junk.
 They're supposed to love art, and some of the homes I was in evidently belong to people whove spent some money on art mean there were oil paintings and water colors hanging around.

The Firing Line
 By D. N. T..
SEASONAL sTANZAS

September is back in the groove And autumn is billed as conner, As hints are beginning to prove The ultimate failure of summer. I'll grant there are folk at the shore Who say it's the best of the season And smirk as they loudly deplore The ones who go home without reason.
 I'll also admit that the sun, The beaming and pleasant Apollo, Is seeing his duties are done, Regardless of what is to follow. The foliage clings to its green; The blooms in the garden nod gaily; The seemingly festival scene Appears to be permanent daily. But I know the season of old, The lure of its lights and its dawnings,
 Yet soon, all too soon, am told, I'm dated to fight with the awnings. To scrap with recalcitrant screens And wrestle with f1ues in the
 heater:
 My thought with few others con-
 VeneS,
 But think November is sweeter.
 A Federal law fOrbids the House Ways and Means Committee to make public a full report on its in- vestigation of Elliott ROOsevelts' ac- tivities in finance. Hurry up, fellers, and change the law; 1SO,0OO, ,OOO Americans are waiting to hear how it is done.
 Some people are urging the disso- lution of the WAVES and the WAC so that the girls can go home and get married. Get the idea? Releasing combat for some man.
 Russia objects to any specific mention of the League of Nations in United Nations dOings. That was the league, if you'll remember, from which Russia was expelled in l9SY for not playing ball.
 It is true that soap and salvation go hand in hand. But one slip on the first sometimes make the second eternal.

 Our officers declined to drink the tea offered by the Japanese when they landed on enemy soil. From the speed and firmneSs with which they rejected the offer, you'd almost think that the JapS had haled 1t up out of Boston harbOr.
