Trips For Congressrnen

 Their particular case naturally may be under added public prejudice of the report that their official business included such hot spots the Foes Bergere in Paris and Monte Carlo.
 However if the public does cheer the prospect of con- gressan having to pay for his own travelling the reason goes deeper than anything connected with this trip It stems from the widespread public convicton-whether justified or not-that there has been entirely too much unketng by congressman in the past There have been too seemed needless and which unproductve of results Too many have looked like expenSespad vacations for Con Rressmen.
 Tt will of course be unfortunate prejudice, for any reason should impose upon the congressman an expense that properly should be paid out of public funds At the same time undoubtedly there would be fewer and cheaper Congressional unkets if the official tourists were conscious that the cost might have to come out of their personal ;ather than the public purse

Barring of Esquire From Mails

Walker Lacked Authority to Decide
What Public Should Read, Runq Saws

In an opinion denying the
statutory power of the Postmas-
ter General to use second-class
mailing privileges as an instru-
ment to enforce compliance by
publications with his ideas of
what sort of reading matter is
in the public welfare, the United
States Court of Appeals today
reversed the District Courts rul-
ing upholding Postmaster Gen
eral Walkers ban on Esquire and
its noted "Varga girl" pictures.
The higher court held that Mr..
Walkers ruling was mot on the
grounds of obseenity.' Instead, the
court said, the Postmaster General
acted because "he thought its (Es-
quire's) dominant purpose was to
publish writings and pictures de-
scribed in his order as in that bor-
der-line zone where the average
person hesitates to find them tech

death-defying Japanese pilots"
The broadcast, by the Japanese
Domei news agency and recorded by
the Federal Communications Com
mission, said 1t. Col. Shozo Naka-
jima, propaganda spokesman of the
japanese services, made the predic-
ton.
Col. Nakajima said the pilotless
balloon attacks recently disclosed by
the United States Army were
launched against America last
March 10, japanese Army day, and
that hundreds of them had been re-
leased from Japan every day since
THE spokesman pointed out" Do
mel added, that thus far these at
tacks have been on an experimental
scale and he predicted that when
actual results of the experiment
have been obtained, large-scale at
tacks with death-defying airmen
manning the balloons will be
launched"
The dispatch, dated Singapore,
added:
The balloon bomb Is one of ia
pans unique originations and it is
specially significant in that by the
use of this method of bombing we
can attack the enemy mainland di-
rectly from Japan-something that
