But if Mrs. Fifty is wise, she is not
misled into believing that her first

Lacking in dignity is the 50-year-

girls to call her by her first name.
Instead of being thought of as

are that she is referred to as

Occasionally. of course. an older

Y mental precepts of good taste
turned themselves so completely
upside down as now. For example,
the practice of widespread use of
first names has by now rooted itself
deep into our lives.
1t is not always resulting in in
creased friendliness, as was undoubt-

entire value of the frst-name privi-

younger groups call each other by

a luncheon of the Advertising Club

In the present circumstances !

Thus the administration will

Will have been no advice and con-

Mr.. Brownell asserted that settle
ments already In force were reached
by the Big Three in their various
conferences and these acts, in his
opinion, have a way of becoming
fixtures after a while. As examples
he cited the new Polish boundary
and the status of the Baltic states.
The Republican chairman quoted
press reports to the effect that Rus

from Germany and "thus the highly
controversial question of Germany's
industrial future is being decided by

The War Departments Bureau
of Public Relations has asked
Gen. MacArthur's press head
quarters at Tokyo to restudy its
recently announced quota sys-
tenn for correspondents with
view to liberalizing it wherever
possible.
A spokesman said the bureau had
been IN cable discussion with the
Tokyo Army press relations head
quarters, directed by Brig. Gen.
LIE Grande A. Diller.
The department has advised Tokyo
to be sure that the quotas were
based on fair parcelling out of rep
resentation for the press and radio,
even if it meant some rearranging
of billeting and eating facilities.
Gen. Diller Saturday announced
a quota system for correspondents,
fixing the total number of reporters
each wire service and certain news
papers and radio companies could
have in Japan and Korea. This
order followed previous decision to
return all correspondents to civilian
status later this month.

ments made to landing strips at
Rabaul, Port Moresby and Port
Darwin in New Guinea and of the

Borneo and Singapore in late sum-

Mr.. Brownell commented:
Clearly, our Nation had no right
of its own to improve landing strips
On the soil of other nations, much
less to deliver gasoline and bombs

Inevitably. therefore. top level
decisions were made between our
