HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 Lovers are highly favored under this configuration and mature young women who feel they should soon be married have only to be patient and watchful. Engaged couples are warned against fruitless pickering.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Many of those now so heartily in favor of subsidies will be among the first to condemn them when they are serving as a life buoy for some other business. In prin- siple, it seems to be agreed that the subsidy is right or wrong de- pending upon whether it is helping you or the other fellow
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Renewed efforts to revive the Ku Klux Klan are doomed to fail, as every form and type of insidious secret government must fail in an intelligently directed democracy.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 It soon will be realized by the Japanese people that, though the cost was high, the recent war brought them a degree of civiliza- ton they would not have known for hundreds of years had there been no war.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of opportunities to grow in mind and spirit

MYSTERIOUS LETTER DIS.

One of the officers whom Con- gressman May had transferred out of Washington, according to a for mer employee. of the Erie Basin Company, was General Paul x English. Procurement Chief of the Chemical Warfare Service. Gen English originally awarded the mor- tar-shell contract to Erie and. in testimony before the Mead Com mittee, claimed they had done an excellent production job.
 However, On Feb. l, l944, Gen English was suddenly transferred Asked why he was transferred, the General said he did not know. He said he had wanted to go overseas Instead, however, he was sent to Omaha, Neb., to relatively unim- portant job as Chief of Staff of the 7th Service Command.

 Organizers of this amazing war baby were two almost unheard-of brothers: Murray Carson and Henry Carson Murray Carson first became faintly known in Washington when he. served in the Labor Department under Hoover's Secretary of Labor, William Muck els Doake. He had an FBI record as a former associate of gangsters Dutch Schultz and Owney Madden, while his brother Henry was once charged by tie Treasury with &C., cepting a $5,00O bribe while serving as a revenue agent. Although &C., quilted by a jury, Carson was dis charged from the Treasury. Working With the Garsson broth CTS was one Joseph Freeman, who operated the Washington office of the Erie Basin Company. It was his job to take the generals and the colorels of the War Department out tc dinner, and to dance with their wives He did both to perfec- tion.

That prophecy now seems on the

such a rule cannot perpetuate it

Dime A Dozen.

Word goes the rounds in Washing
ton that republican candidates for
president are a dime a dozen. Says
one capital correspondent: "There'u be
enough to picket the White House be-
fore long," It is reported that the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch man counted 357
aspirants at the Gridiron Club dinner
last week.
The reason for so many obviously
is that the republican nomination ap-
pears to be equivalent to election. It's
like the nomination of a democrat in
the democratic solid South. Of course,
as 1948 comes nearer, the number of
prospects" will fall off, so that when
the national republican convention is
held there may be no more than five
with a ghost of a chance of being
chosen.
Roscoe Drummond, whose political
prognoses are exceptionally accurate,
lists the five as Senator-elect John w.
Brlcker of Ohio, Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York, former Governor
Harold 3. Stassen of Minnesota, Sen.
ator Robert Taft of Ohio, and Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan.

FORGET David Harum

In his "Review for 1947," Roger W
Babson. whose articles on economic sub.

among other things notes that people
gradually are realizing that without
a spiritual awakening no peace or other
plans will be much good" Mr.. Babson
is right.
The world is in it's present unsettled
state because people have shunted aside
their spiritual and substituted selfish
standards.
The need, obviously, is to set up the
Golden Rule as the liet motif of inter
national, national, official, personal
political and social action.
Our trouble has been that we have
accepted David Harum's Interpretation
of the Golden Rule. This famous fic-
tional horse trader proclaimed that it is
right to edo unto others as we would
that they should do unto u.s. but to
"do it fust." AS long as we go on doing
it "fust" there can be no equitable
peace.
This is as true of Washington as of
Moscow, of London as of Paris.
We may argue that strict application
of the Golden Rule is impossible except
in the Millennium. To which it may be
replied that a thousand years of man
made peace and brotherhood would be
a grand preparation for the Biblical
Millennium.

AS City Editors See It

City editors the country owe are
closest to the heartbeat of the news.
Their judgment has to be good, or they
would still be reporters. When a group
of them, therefore, decides what stories
of the year are top-flight, their selec-
ton commands attention.
A pole at the conclusion Of the
American Press Institute seminar at
Columbia University reveals that
twenty-six of them named the Novem-
Der republican victory, the coal strike,
and the death of the Office of Price
Administration as the top news stories
of 1916. Second string selections were
developments in the United Nations,
the German war criminal trials and the
Atlanta fire.
Naturally there will be some public
objection to the grouping, and certainly
the second stringers are no mean
stories. But on the whole, the city
editors had good reason to place first
things first. The republican election
victory is tops in that it brought to
an end a democratic dynasty, gave
President Truman courage to stand up
straight on his own legs after leaning
so long against the Roosevelt fence,
and offered a new vista in American
political affairs.
Probably it was the biggest story of
all, in that it sounded the final knell
of the OPA and, with its promise Of
revised labor legislation, brought John
L. Lewis to a sudden stop in his wild
and dictatorial career for the first time
when he ordered coal miners back to
work.
Because this is so, the republicans
have a great opportunity and a tremen-
dous responsibility. Congress is to re-
convene in a few days, with them N
the saddle. They have a majority, will
organize the committees and to a large
extent frame legislation. They can
formulate policies which could overcome
much of the laundering by Congress and
the administration throughout the long
Roosevelt and the recent Truman ten
ancy of the White House. Or they can
follow a selfish, strictly party course,
and fail to effect any material improve
ment in the domestic situation.
Which will it be? A long-suffering
public can only hope that with their
opportunity they also accept their re-
sponsibility.
