a fanatic about saving service
mems money. She'll recommend
a night rate, send the caller to a
nearby bar to wait if he's bored
with her magazines, and then go
after him when the connection is
completed. She finds them rooms
and finds them dates. Sometimes
she finances the dates.
They always pay me back, -
she says, usually after they get
to the South Pacific, where there's
not much to spend money on. I've
never lost a cent that way"
Boys come in and tell her they
heard Of her in Tarawa, or Saipan
or Leyte. my buddy said you d
pick out present for Nom. -
or Remember Pat Jones?
He's in New Guinea now; he said
you'd help me get plane transpor-
tation east :" These are ia
miliar phrases to O'Reilly.
Almost anything goes, as far as
telephone service is concerned.
When a soldier says Her name
Brown, but I don't know her first
NAME" O'Reilly lets him use the
counter phone to call every
Brown in the directory, SO he
won't use up all his nickels. If
he locates her, O'Reilly may take
five-cent piece for TIE final call;
usually she doesn't.
One sailor, after an excited call
to his home, left his wallet in
the booth. 1t contained several
hundred dollars and the name of
his ship but no address. O'Reilly
called Navy officers for hours un-
til she reached the ship at a
nearby port. But his buddies
didn't know where he was spend
ing his leave. O'Reilly relied the
sailors call to Cleveland, talked
to his father, returned the wallet.
The center is a meeting place
for G.I.'s and their dates. One
couple became engaged there.
OReilly set up the wedding in a
local church and served as brides
maid.
Literally hundreds of service
men want to talk to their favorite
film star, and O'Reilly arranges
surprising number Of these. She
gets their unlisted phone num-
bers from secretaries or agents,
and places the calls herself.
That's the life of O'Reilly.

Element, and a far less effective
pact than specific treaties dealing
with particular problems.
The place to concentrate our
efforts for justice and wisdom in
settling this war is in the treaties
that settle 1t. but when these set.
Elements are made, as justly as we
can and as wisely as we know how,
they should stand on the same
footing before the world organiza-
ton as all the other settlements
which have made the world what
1t is. If they are to be investi-
gated, reviewed and corrected by
the world organization, it should
be on the same principle and for
the same reason that any other
frontier might need to be investiga-
ted, reviewed and corrected.
If we take any other view than
this, we shall be saying that a
frontier fixed by treaty in 1915
has a different status before the
world organization than a frontier
fixed by a treaty in 1845. II we do
that, we shall generate endless
confusion.

Windsor Planning Visit
To U. S., Canada, France

NASSAU, March 16.-W.p)-The
Duke Of Windsor, whose resigna.
ton as governor general of the
Bahamas was announced yester.
day plans to visit the United States
at the end of April, he said today.
81 have large personal interest
in the United States, Canada and
Europe, needing more than the
spasmodic attention I have been
able to give them in the last five
years." he said.
He also will visit Canada, even
tually the south of France and will
certainly visit Great Britain.
II am a great traveller" he said.
This is the longest time I have
ever spent in one place.
1--WE are sorry to leave Nassau
and many trusted old friends. But
this has been a most valuable ad-
ministrative experience and I am
always ready to serve in any ca
pacity in the future"

Ever since his important ad.
dress last January Senator Van
denberg has been developing the.
sis which needs to be thoroughly
clarified within the United States
delegation to the San Francisco
conference. He has stated it this
way: that political decisions made
during the war shall be subject
to review and correction in the
postwar peace by whatever inter
national organization we set up tc
perpetuate the solidarity of the
United Nations"
This is, it seems to me, way OF
putting the matter which may
easily lead to grave misunder.
standing and trouble. For it fails
to distinguish clearly enough be-
tween peace-making and peace
keeping.
Senator Vandenberg has in
mind. Of course, the boundaries Of
Poland, and the question is
whether and how they could be-
come subject to review and cor.
rection by the world organization.
Now the first thing to note is that
at the present time neither the
new western nor the eastern from
iers of Poland are legally dfined.
The territory east of the Curzon
line is occupied by the Soviet
Union but 1 think l am right in
saying that the international title
will not have passed to thu Soviet
Union until generally recognized
Polish government has ratified a
treaty eeding the territory. At
Yalta it was decided that Great
Britain and the United States will
take the position that the recog-
nized Polish government should
cede this Territory, and will not
support refusal.
The western frontier with Ger
many is to receive its final de-
limitation by 1.-The peace confer.
ence" in which 'tha new Polish
provisional government" is to par
ticipate.
1t is necessary to be clear about
this, and fix in our minds that
what could come before the world
organization for review and cor
rection" is not the informal Yalta
decision but G) a formal Polish
Soviet treaty fixing the eastern
frontier and ca a treaty made by
a peace conference fixing the
western frontier.
What then is the jurisdiction of
the world organization in regard
to these frontiers? Does it have
a special jurisdiction over particu-
lar frontiers fixed say in 1945,
which it does not have ovsr all
other frontiers fixed before that?
Senator Vandenberg is implying
that the frontiers resulting from
this war are peculiarly the bust
ness Of the world organiza ton,
whereas frontiers fixed on other

But now young wives want to

the idea that those things are their

Until that notion is replaced by

Duo Pianists to PLAY
Rachmaninof Works

Vitya Vronsky and Victor Babin,
duo pianists, will present Rach-
maninoff festival program as a
benefit concert at Dumbarton Oaks,
3101 r street NV, on Tuesday, July
"a, at $50 pm. The proceeds will
go toward establishing a special
fund to enable local hospitalized
servicemen and women to hear good
concerts regularly by available
prominent artists. The festival pro-
gram is sponsored by the United
Nations Club, where tickets may be
obtained.
The program will include Rach-
maninoff's Second Suite, Op. IT,"
which was instrumental in bringing
the artists to America. Their re-
cording of this work, made in Lon
don in 1884, when heard in this
country resulted in an American
tour being arranged for the pianists.
Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances
will also be played. Rachmaninoff
in person supervised the Vronsky-
Babin rehearsals of this work prior
to their presentation of it in Car
negie Hall, December, 1912.
The program will open with his
"Fantaisie, OPP. ST. consisting of
'Barcarolle," LA Mutt, L'Amour, =
Les Larmes" and 'Pacques."
