 Anyone reading or listening to Attlees speech got only a passing reference to the atomic bomb. Only generaites about Britans labor government. Not line about Palestine. Not bit of explanation of what British troops doing in Java Nothing about discussions on the British loan Only line Nabout India. Nothing about relations with Russia. Nothing in fact. worth hearing.
 Congress hears many speeches like that every day from it's own members But that's the point and the moral If any of the things wrong with this cock be by politely playing safe or lining up of soothing sereotypes sandwiched with revered proper nouns. Somewhere statesmen are going to have to start saying something soon, and make it snappy.

Sic Semper Tyrannis

One newspaper obituary of Field Marshal August von Mackensen spoke of him "he haWk-faced little soldier Probably few of who remember him by way of photo graphs from the first World War thought of him as being small He had tall, imposing look
 Hawk-faced he That face with it's fierce mustache and wild burning eyes almost devoid of flesh and blood the grinnng deaths head that adorned the tall fur shako of his hussars uniform He quite figure the perfect symbol of Prussan mtarsm Yet Mackensen small Or at least he lost much stature through the years the militarism which he Symbolized.

 He also served Hitler but only a show horse, His aging bones wouldn't permit anything active. They troed him out make speeches and to pose in his deaths head hat and god-braded uniform the embodiment of a lost glory.

ence for half an hour. and even they have to be interspersed with music.
 But the politicians still drool on boring everybody to death And the amazing thing about this is that with all the interesting things there to talk about in this world the politician still prefers to deal in banalties
 With this gentle introduction, it should be safe to report that the worlds champion thrower of cches has just been discovered in Washington in the person of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Clement R. Attlee. In his 30-mnute 3000- word address to joint session of Congress he broke all recores for even that palace of plattudes.
 This comment be made without being rude to visiting dignitary. Maybe the P M was just being smart, why waste a good speech that bunch? But just get load of how MT A. coin corn:

couldn't be prosecuted
 For instance, the proposed law provides that if anyone defrauds the government in disposing of surplus property he can't be prosecuted after one year. It is already evident that surplus property is going to be of the biggest sources of scandal in history and it would be impossible for J Edgar Hoover to track down all irregularities in one year.
 The Judiciary Committee also proposes that if the director of national bank violates the law and can get away with it for year he can't be prose- cuted after that.
 The is true of copyright infringement, vio- laon of civil rights statutes fraud in registration of public lands and violation of the Wage-Hour Act The latter is particularly interesting. An en- poyer could wilfully violate the wage-hour law know ing that if he gets caught all he will have to do IS pay fine for that year. Yet he might have been violating the law for three four five years Such
 provision according to Labor Department officials, would be an open invitation to employers to thumb their noses at the Wage-Hour Act.
 Yet the House Judiciary Committee solemnly recommended passage of the bill It is up to the full House and the Senate.
 President Truman didn't say anything about it, but he seemed bit unified at being ribbed un- mercifully at the National Press Club dinner his past as a haberdashery salesman It must be admitted that some of the professional comics rubbed it in pretty hard. Eddie Cantor of them.
 "It's nice having a haberdashery in Kansas City, the radio comic told his audience of Cabinet members Supreme Court Justices and newsmen. "But why bring it to Washington?

THE GOVERNOR ON MILITARY
 TRAINING
(The Bridgeport Post)

Who knows best whether or not we need universal military train ing? The men who have been trained and have fought in the war? Or those persons who have never fought including those who are most veciferous against training
 Governor Baldwin answered the question the other day in address ing the Mems Club of the Wethers- field Trinity Church. Declaring himself unequivocally for training he said that politicians as a rule are afraid to discuss the issue But, he continued:
 If you want to know how people feel about this, ask the man who experienced the death march of Bataan; ask the man who fought out in the Pacific, on the thin line of defense while we were preparing to fight for freedom They are the authorities We should listen to, not the politicians"
 We have remarked before that virtually every returning man, every seasoned soldier or sailor or marine, is in favor of military training. Most of these men are convinced that such training saves the lives of our boys, that in each succeeding war the allowable time for such training is getting shorter while the things to be taught are getting more complicated and require more time.
 The Minute Man at the Battle of Lexington had only to take his gun down from over the fireplace-he was a good shot anyway because part of his. living depended on that get behind stone wall and shoot. The soldier today has to be a mas ter technician in most compli- cated business. It takes time to &C., quire the art.
 Meantime, our enemies are show ing more and more inclination to take us by surprise and less and less inclination to allow us time. In a world in which war is really out lawed no training will be necessary But we are far from that perfec- ton at present.

AFTERMATH OF WAR
Boston Post)

Boston PoSD
 Beautiful Hawaii and languorous Honolulu, which have for years been colorfully, if inaccurately, boosted in tourist blurbs, are now suffer- ing the after-effects of almost four years of war and military govern ment, and the clashes between serv- ice men and lower class civilians present a grim picture.
 It must be understood that, during the war, the islands have been packed with service men, workers from the mainland and a horde of riff-raff camp followers. Something had to suffer from this unnatural concentration in small land area, and what has suffered most was respect for law and order Hawaiian problems are distillate of problems which every War-swol- len community must face before normal living is restored.

THE CONNECTICUT PLAN
(Hartford Courant)

The appointment of Major Will liam H. Burnham of West Hartford as chief of the Veterans Advisory Center Division in Washington is not only a tribute to the work per- formed by Major Burnham since being placed on the Army's inac- tive list a year ago, but is also an implied endorsement of the work done by the Connecticut Reemploy- ment Commission for which Major Burnham has been working. Major Burnham will now do on a national scale the same organizational work he has been helping to do in Con-

We've Accomplished Much, Keep It Up

New Yors Governor Dewey speaking of tuberculosis to group of state health officials said Tt is time agreed to tackle this problem and wholly defeat it. Those words brave today would have been incredible 50 years ago. But Mr. Dewey said We know the problem know how to cope with it. know the scientific facts have the background of achievement Since 1902 New York has reduced tube culoss mortality by 70 per cent.
 The national improvement in mortality rate figures is quite impressive with 75 per cent reduction in about the period of time But tuberculosis still remains the great killer of youth heart disease and killers of the aged.
 The National Tuberculosis Associations annual Christ Seal sae which begins this month concides with the Both anniversary of Roengens discovery of XRays And it this discovery which permits diagnosis of early and for mery undetecabe cases that has had much do with the gradual stamping out of tuberculosis
