1t has been Is years, or ever since
the day I started a column for a
press association, since I have had
a vacation without having to take
along typewriter, as we'll as fan
nels, moths, golf clubs, polo mallets,
polo ponies, swimming pools and a
croquet set. During those 16 years
I have visited half the countries
Of the world, but always, sometime
during the day l had to repair to
"a desk, unlock typewriter, and get
to work.
Work Takes Its Toll.
This unf1agging devotion to work
which I hate with all my heart
has begun to take its toll. I looked
i'll the mirror yesterday, and that
Arrow collar face isn't as ioyously
juvenile as it once was. I find N.Y.

headed cane is not in its proper
place in the umbrella stand when

Of whist with the rest of the hubba-

So 1 must rest. am hoping that
the volunteers will provide it. I
want to state right now that I am
going to be very particular in choos-
ing those who will substitute for
me. l don't want any one with tai
ent. If you have good ideas, can
write and possibly show me up, you
needn't volunteer
I have been in this business long
enough to know that Just outside
the city limits, waiting for a chance
to move in, are thousands of
freckle-faced. red-haired boys with
talent, ambition and a willingness
to work "a hours for a chance to
chase out us "old-timers." / do not
plan to give them an opening. Call
me mean, cab me hard, call me
anything, but the fact still remains
that I have bills to pay. This is
wrong of me, I know.
Wants His Job, Too.
When I first saw Broadway and
shook like baby aspen in a breeze,
the established men took care of
me. Damon Runyan told me a
thousand things / didn't know and
could never have known without
his help. Grantland Rice took me
under his wing and gave me the
finest friendship I ever will know.
And SO did men who are only a bit
older than Joe Williams, Bill
Corum, Dave Walsh, Kerr Petrie,
Johnny Kieran and a host of others.
But they are bigger than me.

make me look good. I want DO

recall reading that President Roxas,
while wearing the uniform of an
American brigadier general, had
supported a declaration of war
against the United States, or that
he had been confidant and coun-
selor of the Japanese puppet, Lau-
rel? OF course you do not. And
this same reticence continues today.
Behind the iron curtain shrouding
the Philippines, a newly liberated

ing told nothing about it.
Civil War in Progress.
A civil war is in progress. The
situation in Central Luzon is par
ticularly alarming. MPs have taken
battle stations with tanks, armored
cars, bazookas and machine guns.
Clashes have been bitter, and the
casualties heavy on both sides. Be
cause of the wholesale persecution
of the peasant class, guerrilla bands
are giving battle to the Roxas forces.
The Roxas party has eliminated
all opposition in this new demo-
cratic" government by unseating the
seven Democratic Alliance men in
Evening star., 1946-08-09

the lower house, and three opposi-
ton Senators. It has revised legis-
lative rules so as to provide for a
simple majority instead of the usual
two-thirds vote on legislation re-
lating to foreign affairs.
One of the latest moves gives
President Roxas blanket authority
to remove any official or employe of
the government by simply naming
his successor. very democratic pro-
cedure which likewise applies to
civil service employees whose rights
are supposed to be protected by the
Philippine constitution.
A wholesale purge of the govern
ment service is on that only loyal
Roxas men are able to survive.
Under new law rushed through
Congress. President Roxas can now
issue or reject permits to radio sta
tions. These are subject to with
drawal if anything uncomplimen-

| FRANKFURT, Oct. 23-Hagen-
beck's world-famous Hamburg zoo
and wild animal exporting concern
lis believed to have been reprieved
from virtual extinction, after pro-
TESTS from biologists, naturalists and
lanimal lovers Of many nationalities.
i But Lorenz Hagenbeck, son Of the
founder, still shakes his head and
says he has not heard oficially that
his $50 remaining animals. claimed
as reparations for bombed-out ZOOS
In England and elsewhere, won't be
taken from him after all.
For weeks he has been worried, as
his zoo keepers worked on travelling
cases to carry his beloved beasts
survivors of the bombing of Ham
burg-into exile.
The Detroit Zoo was founded with
Hagenbeck animals exclusively. Four
Hagenbeck lions harnessed to a Ro-
man chariot and driven by Hagen
beck trainer were the sensation Of
the Chicago World Fair of 1893.
Brought Elephants to U. S.
Hagenbeck took 48 elephants to
the United States for the st. Louis
Exhibition in 1904 and stayed there
himself for four years. In 1922, a
Hagenbeck circus was guest fea-
ture at Coney Island; afterward
John Ringing bought it.
Hagenbeck himself was made
life member of the New York Zoolog-
ical Society many years ago. He
also has been patron of and donor
to the Cincinnati Zoo, and when
officials of this latter zoo heard of
his losses through the bombing of
Hamburg, they offered to replace
his animals for him.
Recalling the first big bombing OF
Hamburg, when 16 block-busters ex-
ploded in the Hagenbeck animal
park, Hagenbeck said today:
lone hundred and twenty animals
were killed and our keepers were
panic stricken. They thought all the
other animals would break loose into
the city and add to the horror and
confusion of the night. But we
found that the animals could take
L it. They could have escaped easily
through the broken walls and gaps
in the wire and bars. But they
didn't.
Animals Remained Quiet.
after the alarm was over, Il
found the elephants assembled
around the eldest COW, quite calm.
Inside the smoldering snake house,
I found a big python sun-bathing in
the glow of the fire; an alligator had
escaped into q fish-pond and we
could not get him out. But he paid
for that good time by freezing to
death when winter came round.
Most of the animals, I think,
thought the bombing was just a big
thunderstorm and reacted accord
ingly.
I'VE had to shoot two wolves, two
jaguars and two tigers. These car
nivorous animals were loose and on
the prowl among the other animals.
We could not recapture them as our
wooden traps had all been destroyed
in the bombing.
