By DREW PEARSON

The McCarren Bill to decen- tralize industry by permitting no more factory construction in the East until the mountain states become indLstrially self f-sufa- cient, was vigorously opposed by Miles Pennypacker, Norwalk, Conn, industrialist. Appearing before a Senate Judiciary Sub Committee, he contended that the proposed legislation would force population shifts and that there was no point in trying to encourage people to live in areas where, historically, they. have shown lack of desire toslive.
 People who "can live any where prefer Connecticut, as serted the witness expansively. However, he conceded there was one exception Representative Clare Luce.
 She spends almost as little time in Connecticut as she does in Washington" Pennypacker re- marked. "As a matter of fact, the last time she came to her Con- gressional District, her constitu- ents paid an admission to see her"
 Note: Pernypacker probably was referring to Clare's Connec- ticut appearance in Candida"

 Americas Card Authority

It is a pleasure to see our boys getting back into civilian life. Lt.-Col. R. H. Skinner of Chestnut Hill, Mass, is back in the organ business which is a far cry from landing with the first American troops on Leyte. Dick served as president of the American Con- tract Bridge League while he was in the armed forces, and as a civilian he is again taking an ac- tive part in bridge.
 I asked him for the most inter- esting hand he played during the war, and he gave me this one. Dick won the opening lead with the ace of spades and three rounds of diamonds picked up the adverse trumps. Three rounds of clubs dis closed that the suit would not break. E Now how was he going to trump two spades and club with two trumpS?
 He led the deuce of hearts and West split his honors, playing the jack. skinner allowed the trick tc hold, and West was, in predica- ment. If he feturned a heart, a good heart wuold be established in dummy for discard.
 West returned the low spade upon which Skinner discarded a heart from dummy, and his jack of spades took the trick.

 their business - but Mama thinks they have been in too much of a hurry in designing clothes to sit around in.
 Mama says that while she may have a few spare minutes now and then for sitting because gro- cery marketing is not so difficult as it was, the time saved isn't sufficient to allow her to get dressed up for the event.
 Other kinds of shopping seem to be getting more = rather than less = difficult. She has some times gone to 20 stores looking for a pair of stockings-and with out finding any. The shopping she tries to do for Papa is just as much of a disheartening run around.
 STILL DOES OWN WORK
 And Mama is still doing all her own work - and with worn- out equipment. The women she predicted were going to be glad to go back to domestic service" haven't yet shown that reaction and she hasn't been lucky enough to buy any of those beautiful post war gadgets that are going to make housework cinch, even though a few of them are trick ling onto the market.
 All types of service are still painfully slow and Mama still finds it a prolonged headache to get an electric clock repaired, a leaky faucet fixed, or a room painted. And the old car is laid up for at least a week for the most insignificant repair. So she can't help but wonder if the designers who have created for spring styles designed ito sit and look pretty in" aren't living in world of their own, instead of the real world in which Mama is still struggling with most of the problems and headaches that were hers in wyartime. If not, how come they think she has time for sitting and looking pretty?

quizzically for a moment and said: My dear sir, that's one thing that never harmed me!"-and I almost dropped my pipe on the green be- fore realized what he meant.
 Now I'm sure my esteemed bowl ing crony needs no narcotic. Un- like most people who are anywhere near his age, even many who have ten or twenty years to go, my friend has what it takes, and I call it vite.
 It is the elderly folk who are shy on vite that need a narcotic to make life pleasanter for themselves and for those who have to live with them. Of course the narcotic to which I refer is alcohol-a glass of ale, beer or wine once or twice a day
 Mind, I said the elderly people who lack vite. Can't stop here to tell how one knows when one is elderly. My bowling crony, despite what the Blue Book says about him, is certainly not elderly; on the contrary, as I have already said, he is youth. He has VTTE.
 People of any age, children, youths, young adults, mature adults, who are lacking in vite do not feel so good as those who have vite. One who has, vite feels just fine and dandy One who hasn't it is quite likely to feel "the need of stimu- lant"-that's how one misguided young man explained his drinking to excess.
 Elderly persons who are shy on vite have good many little com plaints or feelings of uneasiness, anxiety, weakness and these con- stant difficulties, annoyanceS or illustrations make them irritable, peecish or difficult to live with. It is a bit late in the game to try to restore vite, but that's precisely where alcohol comes ina glass of beer, ale or wine once or twice a day dulls their consciousness of all these frailties, symptoms, discom- forts and they find life pleasanter and they become so much more agreeable to live with.
 There you have it. Whether you are old enough to begin taking your daily glass or two of beer, ale or wine, I can't tell you. My bowling crony, at T, certainly isn't.
