Notes Of q NetUspaperman:
Peter Donald forwards the story
about three GIs just back from over
seas who went into the automat and
found that the only available table
was one that was occupied by a
spinsterish female. Wanting little
privacy, they decided to sit down,
hoping by means of conversation to
make her finish up and leave in a
hurry The first CT said: "Boy,
life overseas sure was tough. I
didn't have bath in eight months. I"
'"Think that's bad?" said the Sec
ond. II couldn't even wash my
hands in four weeks"
1--WE were so busy" the third add
ed, II couldn't change my under
wear in five months"
At that point, the old gal looked
up and said: would one of you
stinkers mind passing the salt?"
The government has stopped horse
racing in America. We wish it were
as easy to stop Americas Trojan
horses.
An American citizen of Ger
man ancestry was walking down
Powell Street, in San Francisco,
when he was stopped by SOL
der who asked: "Can you tell
me the way to Chinatown" -.
He replied: eyes, of course, it
is two blocks over and two
blocks to the left, but you don't
want to 60 there because you
are Jap" .. The soldier re-
piled: "And you are a German"
-. The citizen said: "How did
you know" The soldier
replied: 81 know because I've
killed lot of them the last two
months in Italy and Pm on my
way home to Seattle" The
citizen of German ancestry
looked at the uniform of the SOL
der and saw on it Presidential
citation, the Purple Heart and
few other campaign ribbons.
Telling this story about him.
self, he said: "Boy, was en-
barraSsed! The soldier was of
Japanese ancestry and a men,
Der of the famous Tooth Infantry
Battalion!"
Edward Stettinius, who is certain
w the v,on1ncf orI larooorofio
of our Secretaries of State, used to
visit the Broadway night clubs occa-
sionally few years ago. One night
he went into the old Paradise with
a male companion Headwaiter
Albert Bergman scanned them with
an appraising and unrecognizing eye
Hello, Albert" said Stettin-
ius, "don't you remember me?"
"Oh, yes" fibbed Albert Crying
to place the MANI, as he showed him
to none-too-good table.
The part like is that Stettinius
(who was then only chairman of U.
S. SteeD knew headwaiter Albert,
but Albert didn't know him!
Ernest Hemingway went to Chi
cago years ago after working in
Kansas City. He had lived in Oak
Park, ILL.,, and was an old school
mate of Ted Tod's, now working for
Warmers At the time, Tod was
working for the Chicago Herald-Ex-
aminer as a reporter, and Heming-
way hoped Tod would try to get him
job on the paper Tod went in
to speak to Frank Carson, the city
editor. He told him all about Hem
ingway-what a good writer he was
. He said: "He hasn't worked in
Chicago, but he knows it, knows
names, ETC." Carson looked up
and ho-humm'd: "Does he know any
Chicago coppers?" NO." said
Tod well, I don't care how
good writer he is" replied Carson.
"Our reporters have to know the
Chicago coppers" So Heming-
way didn't get the job. Instead he
went to Canada-worked on a To-
ronto paper and from there started
his climb.
If it hadn't been for his not know
ing any Chicago policemen, Heming-
way might still be working on the
Chicago paper.
All this talk of what to do
with Germany-and, of course,
it is more than talk, il is
grave, great problem-reminds
me Of this tale An apostle
of Cancellation once asked the
late Georges Clemenceau If his
hatred of the Germans was
based on knowledge. "Have you
ever been to Germany?" he in
quired.
"No, Monsieur" replied the
Tiger, 81 have not been to Ger

the Germans have heen to
