While we are not at liberty to
quote MI. Churchill we feel that
we gained much valuable knowl-
edge and information beneficial
to our Committee in its objective
to bring about a stable postwar
economy in this country and "a
restoration and possible expan-
sion of this country's world trade.
Without quoting him we can say
of own knowledge that the
great British war leader is not
as concerned about the loss of the
atomic bomb secret as some peo-
pie who are not acquainted with
the facts. We further feel free
to say that this great man of
courage and vision feels that as
long as the English speaking peo-
Piles are of one accord in their
objective for world peace and
will work together to that end
we will be able to cope with any
situation that arises.

saE 49,
Congressman WmM .CoImer

Within the last few DAYS Sen
ator Arthur Vandenberg-a dele
gate to the United Nations Or
ganization-upon his return from
the sessions of that organization
at London made a speech in the
Senate in which he called for
a stiffening Of the American at
titude in its dealings with the
Soviet Republic. 1t is interest.
ing TO note that Senator Vanden-
berg used the same phrase in
his speech that we used when we
returned from our trip TO Eu-
rope, which included a visit with
Stain. That was that in our deal
ings with Russia we must stiffen
our backbones. VIZ wer con-
WINGED OF the Necessity for that
after our trip there, and espec-
tally after our conference with
Generalissimo Stain and his
Commissars. We were definitely
of the opinion that Russia was
vakJig advantage of America,
England and her other allies be-
cause it was quite apparent that
Stain had arrived at the con-
elusion that her late Allies in
the wan were tired of war and
that this was a grand o%pportuni-
tv to press her desire to broaden
her sphere of influence and make
Russia the great world power.
In fact, on our return from Rus
STA we stopped in London at the
time the world Ministers Con-
ference was going on. We made
it a point to drive home to our
Secretary of State, Mr.. Byrnes,
in thtese conferences, the necessi-
t. of stiffening our backbone in
dealing with Russia. We told Mr..
Bvrnes that force was only lam
guage that Stain understood. 1t
was therefore gratifying that Mr..
Bvrnes did on that occasion 'stif-
fen his backbone and refused to
yield to Molotov. This is true
| even though the result was that
the Conference broke up without
accomplishing anything 1t was
also gratifying to observe that fol-
lowing the Vandenberg speech
Mr.. Byrnes in New York made
a speech along similar lines.
We have never referred to this
publicly heretofore because we
were not in an administrative
position and did not want to
be considered presumptuous by
publicly making statements which
might bring about international
complications.
Winston Churchill
In this connection and by vir-
tue Of our position as Chairman
of the Postwar Economic Policy
Committee of the House, we had
the rare and high privilege Of
being the dinner guest of the
Right Honorable Winston Chur-
chill in Miami, Fla, last week.
Churchill, in the opinion of many
people. is the outstanding world
figure of his generation. For three
and a half hours we had the pri-
vilege of discussing not only the
economic situation in Europe,
its effect upon the future eco
monte conditions in this country,

 A bullet that ricochets from water does not actually dive in and out like a porpoise. It sometimes seems to give the impression of travelling through the water and popping out because of the spray that shoots up when the projectlle strikes the water. The bullet remains above the water at all times, according to Merton A. Robinson, chief Wln- chester baliistician. If the bullet did submarge, it would keep on go- ing down and then would not rico chet.

 THE expedition to the hill had \ originated with Lem 0ott, who had chosen the spot, presumably for convenient ascension into heaven, Once the word had got around, others decided it would be just the place for a good view-iiot only of the comet, but incidentally of Lem, making his preparations. Finally half the town agreed to go. The bold regarded 1t as afl outing. The timid were not willing to be left be- hind. There would be plenty of fresh air on the hill, they said, just in case
 My father approved of the expe- dition, Comets didn't come very often--he appeared thankful for it and this was a good time to clear up q lot of nonsense about them. If people were together, he said, a few couldn't start a lot of foolish stories. He would go himself. Ben- jamin would drive all of Us to the foot of the hill.
 That morning Benjamin hauled his last load of gravel. When he came in for dinner, Mrs. Guptill was ready for him. He had promised to change the stove. We'll, he could do 1t that very afternoon before he got tied up with something else. She started out again about her and Job.
 He'd do it, Benjamin said. He wasn't one to go back on his word. But it would take two men for lift ing. Boshy was no good. He was shaking so much now he couldn't lift feather. They would have to wait for Jay.
 NOw that spring had come Jay " was on an earlier schedule. He came in at 6, and he and Benta- min changed the stove at once. He was just finishing his supper when went down into the kitchen to tell them that the teams were almost ready.
 "Im not goin'," Mrs. Guptill said "It's Wednesday, and I've got my bread to bake"
 "Course you're goin'," Jay told her. Your bread can bake without you hangin' over it. I'll come bacl myself and take it out in an hour" At first she wouldn't hear of 1t Other people could go gallavant' ing off to mountain tops, she said She could hear the Town Clock strike 9 from where she was.
 Jay winked at me. T believe she wants to be left alone witt MT. Cutter" he said slyly.
 That settled it. She went of fol her coat, leaving Jay to build tht fire. He crammed the stove witt excelsior, put in some edgings ane opened the draft. You go on out side" he told me. 'T'll stay hert to shut 1t up when 1t gets goin'."
 At T o'clock we started of, nint of us, filling blackboard and surrey. On the way we passed groups of people on foot. Int Pettigrews. The Bowdens. Thi Sawyers. The Giddings boys.

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS ONE? This one is about Q rabbit hunter who went out one day with his gun to get little sport. He came to a field in which there were quite a few large rocks. Noticing a rabbit ahead of him, he watched carefully. Suddenly the rabbit ran out from behind rock toward another and the hunter fired. The rabbit disap- peared.
 The story continues with our friend the hunter, spotting the rab- bit running toward another rock and having no other alternative, he fired again.
 He waited a second to see if the creature would run again and sure enough, 1t ran towards another rock to hide. He fired again and the rabbit disappeared.
 Very exasperated, Caccording to the story) the hunter this time de- cided to find out If he got the bunny. Lo and behold, after visit- ing the sections into which he had fired he found three dead rabbits. It seems the hunter had shot at a different rabbit each time. JOAN YOU TOP THIS ONEO
