races can work together side-by- different backgrounds and even two side If one does not treat the other with arrogance or conceit. The Americans never tried to exploit the Filipinos. Instead, they gave them freedom. The reward has been the Filipinos' underground which should so impress every nation that it should establish a pattern for the whole world to follow.
 The pattern, as I see 1t. is based on three principles, and If the war has brought them out into the open, 1t has done one useful thing:
 l. Recognition of the dignity of the human soul; recognition which does not reduce subject people to the level of human beasts.
 2. Recognition of the right of a people to be free.
 4. The grant to a people of the instruments to achieve that free- dom-sanitation, sourd economy, good roads, schools.
 These are the principles of the Golden Rule. The people of the Far East want no more, but they want no less.
 The hardest thing had to do on Leyte was to answer the ques- tions of the guerrilla leaders. What will the British do in Singapore and in Hong Kong?" they asked me. What will the Dutch do in Java?"
 We are not fighting" these guerrilla leaders told me in answer to their own questions, ito make the world safe for Imperialism"
 Why can't the American pattern as applied in the Philippines be fol- lowed all over the world?

America And The Future!
Many Difficult Problems Must Be Faced During Present War founder of Town Hall Meet ings Gives List of Ten Outstanding
 Questions.

America's current and future problems are being discussed these days with unusual vigor by various organizations. Americas Town Hall Meeting" through nationwide radio hookup has focused the pub lies attention on several knotty problems. Tonights subject is Should We Support Russia's plans for Poland?" Last week there was a spirited discussion on whether or not the German people should share in the punishment planned for Nazi leaders.
 George V. Denny, Jr. founder and moderator of Town Hall meetings" has announced what in his opinion represents the ten most important questions which the United States will be called upon to answer dur ing 1945. His list is as follows:
 l. Can the Allies agree in their peace aims? Frictions already de- veloped indicate sharp conflict be- tween the desire for national sov- ereignty and the need for interna- tional cooperation for peace.
 2. How shall we deal with Ger many after the war? With Ger many's defeat likely in l945, the next step is to deal with the con- quered nation justly, yet firmly, and above all, to balk Nazi plans for World War TIT.
 3. Can America unite in full support of the war without a na- tional service act2 After three years of production miracles, we became optimistic with what appeared to be the approach of victory in Eu- rope, Can we voluntarily keep up production for the war in the Pa- cific, after Germany is eliminated?
 4. How can we assimiliate the returning veteran? The returning soldier. his viewpoint on national and international affairs broadened. will begin to make his political power felt in l945,
 5. How can we avoid excessive imitation? Organized labor. holding that wages have not kept pace with rising prices, has been pressing for higher wages. This m turn leads to upward pressure on prices Some method of stabilization is needed.
 6. Reconversion - When and how7 Germany's military comeback Illustrates the danger of premature attempts at reconversion. If Ger many is defeated In 1945 the rec conversion problem will become acute again. and once again, eau tion is indicated. with a war still to be won in the Pacific.
 2. Should we adopt a universal military service act? Congress is due to act on such q measure early in l04S, and there is considerable

before his death. And when, on August 1, Sergio OSmena succeeded to the Presidency, by radio from the guerrillas came message for his inauguration, pledging him their loyalty and support.
 On September "A when I made my maiden speech in Congress as Philippine Resident Commissioner in Washington, I gave the guer- rillas their first credit for the job they had done. Next day, by radio, there came congratulations and thanks from the guerrilla leaders. That is how good and fast was our line of communication to the Islands. And there has never been any cleavage between the Phil- ippine Commonwealth government in exile and the leaders who have stayed at home to fight. Always there was mutual recognition.
 RESCUE AMERICANS
 This working together for Philip pine liberty and independence has carried right down to the Filipino people. How else can you explain how the Americans have been able to operate with the guerrillas? They have been hidden by the Fili- pinos, U. s. flyers shot down have been rescued and passed along from village to village till they reached the coast to be taken out on sub- marines. Col William E. Dyess escaped that way. The two Fili- pinos who aided him in his escape were caught and as punishment, they were hung by their thumbs their bodies were hacked and they were left to bled to death. People should know about these things, to understand what the Filipinos went through.
 But the Filipinos did not risk their lives just for the soldiers who fought for them. American civilians who escaped into the hills when the

Luce, Douglas
 Beauty RivoIS
BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN

Washington, January (. -- tUPD - Congress can pass some laws now. It's okay. Legal. Strictly on the up-and-up.
 At least I think 1t is. I sat through the first session of the 79th Congress in the House with one eye on the Mesdames Luce and Douglas and the other on the Mumbo-J Jumbo attached to pulling the legislative plug and I do believe the boys went through all the necessary motions,
 Between nominating sam Ray burn as speaker, electing him, send ing committee out to find him, ap- pointing another committee to noti- fy the Senate that he had been elected, ard naming a third delega- ton to let President Roosevelt know that they'd opened shop, they also gazed upon the two beautiful mem- bers.
 You can't fool those congressman. They appreciate handsome females and if they laughed at the first faux pas of Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas of Hollywood. that was be- cause they weren't themselves.
 Mrs. Douglas, most striking of all the Democrats in a black dress, chalk white face and carmine lips, was looking into space when the clerk reached her name on the first roll call. He repeated it. Rep. Mary Norton jabbed Rep. Douglas with her elbow.
 "What?" asked the prettiest Dem ocrat "Oh, Present, (She gulped and then she blushed) Here"
 Haw-haw-haw, went the House of Representatives and Mrs. Douglas blushed some more,
 Calling of the roll continued, the newsreel spotlights swung over to the other side of the room, and there was Rep. Clare Boothe Luce, the handsomest Republican, play ing with four-year-old, red- haired boy. ct is the custom of Congressman to bring their children to opening sessions. This wasn't Mrs. Luce's child. He seemed to belong to a portly Republican across the aisle)
 Mrs Luce, in navy blue and white with red flower on shoulder ano velvet bow in blonde curls. made g pleasant sight as she showed the child in blue rompers her eye" glasses. Gmagine that. Eyeglasses! She never did put 'em on, however,
 would say offhand that If this had been beauty contest and l had been the judge, my nod would have gone to Mrs. Luce. She looked live Her, somehow, than Mrs. Douglas but that was snap Judgment ano subject to later revision. tSee? I'm talking like a bureaucrat already0
 The high point of the afternoon came when the Congressmen elected Rayburn as their speaker. and ap- pointed committee of three to escort him to his seat on theDais. He knew the way; he'd been sitting there for years, This committed business was putting-on- -the-dog. The Deluxe treatment.
 The committeeman went to escort Rayburn-and no Rayburn. They looked all over, finally found him outside in the cloakroom, and es- corted him down the aisle, with pomp, circumstance and the Kleig lights reflecting pinkly from hi9 pate.
 Then he spoke for about Is min utes, reviewing Congress duties anc his hopes for a better world to come, and I don't know when I've heard more sincere or a more graceful bit of oratory.

VETERAN OFFICER
 ASKS RETIREMENT
PatrOIman Thomas McEIIi- gOtt Served 38 Years;
 Protest Traffic Jams

After 38 years as a policeman, Patrolman Thomas McElligott yes- terday petitioned the police board for retirement on a pension. His petition was accompanied by a let ter from Dr. M. H. Ruby stating that the patrolman's physical con- dition was such that he was incap- able of performing duties as a pa- trolman. The board referred the request to the committee on men and discipline for report as is cus- tomary.
 The police superintendent and traffic committee were instructed by the board to make a survey of traf- fic conditions on East Main street. at the junction of North and South Elm streets and suggest recommen- dations for improvement, after Comsr. William Black declared that a traffic hazard exists there. While there is rotary trafiic sign at the intersection and while there is a policeman on duty there most of the time, MT Black said that ser- tous traftic jams occur, particularly around 6 p. m., due chiefly to traf- fic pouring out of North Elm street and holding up east and west traffic on East Main street.
 Deputy Supt Frederick s. Hickey reported that Supernumerary Thomas Lynch has reached the age of 40 and has turned in his badge, as the charter forbids supernumer- aries continuing in office after that age. The board received and ac- cepted the resignation of Supernu- merary Rocco Genua.
 Deputy Hickey reported that the departments five new Chevrolet cars had been equipped with radios and red lights and put into service with the motor patrol.

and carry out their promises to free the Philippines.
 Second channel for spreading good news was the radio. When submarines delievered their maga- zines, they also delivered radio receiving sets. And soon, by short wave from KGET in San Francisco and from Brisbane, Australia, the Voice of Freedom was pouring into the Philippines. Both stations had what came to be known as the dictation hour. The Guerrillas back in the hills took down the broad- casts, printed them ard distributed the news in cigaret papers.
 By other means. too, the news got in and out past the Japs. The late President Manuel Quezon sent two of his own staff officers into the Islands from Washington, and they came back arHi reported to him in Saranac Lake six months later, just

 READ IN SECRET
 These were special and highly exclusive copies. Out in the hills where the guerrillaS fought, copies were read dog-eared and dirty, buried in tin cans by day, dug up at night and circulated to be read in secret-l000 read- CTS to a copy-where no Jap eyes could spy on them. What they found in the magazines were maps and stories of the progress of U. s. and Allied arms all over the world - and hope. Hope that the Americans were going to return

Japs invaded the islands in lo4l were sheltered till they could be evacuated to safety. A few of these civilians have now been brought back to the United States and when they recover, their stories may be- come known.
 When the Filipino women read in the Free Philippines magazine about how the American women had en- listed as WAC's, the Filipinos form ed their own WAS Women'S Auxiliary Service--to stand beside their men in guerrilla bands
 Typical is the story of Amparo Borecilla, girl of 9. She had been a teacher on Leyte, but had run to the hills when the Japs came in. Given a carbine brought in by U. s. submarine, she account ed for 55 Japanese soldiers. T could have doubled it." she told me when I saw her on Leyte few weeks ago. If had been given my carbine earlier"
 SCHOOLS OPEN
 The day after the capital of Leyte Island was liberated from the Japs, the OWI men scurried around and found one old printing press which the Japanese had over- looked. They went on a door-to- door hunt for paper, found some in the municipal building and more in the convent and went to press with the | first edition of the Leyte -Samar Free Philippines. In 1t they an- nounced that schools would open next day. They did, too. Teachers dug up school books that had been buried in tin cans to save them from Jap bonfires. That was really the triumph of the underground.

 8. Is the American way of life threatened by Communism or Fas- cism? Can our system. embodying the principles of the Bill of Rights, stand in the face of world revo- lution tending toward cGllectivism2
 Q. Should our social security program be expanded? Large groups of people are not included in our present social security legislation. Too there is increasing interest in health insurance and socialized medicine.
 10. Should government guarantee jobs for all workers? No responsible private or public agency is willing to predict jobs for all who want them. and widespread dislocation seems inevitable during reconver- sion.

 Winter Is Q time To make a rhyme About sunset pink Or a broken link A banging shutter, Waffles that cry for butter, A session with the bardS Or a cosy game of cards. Winter is just right To stay indoors at night, Watching the embers glow Or at a movie show .. To be contented and jolly Hearing Fibber and Molly. Winter is a time To try for a rhyme That begins with cake And ends with sirloin steak.
