WASHINGTON, Dec. u-lNEA)-The Republi- can National Committee came into town for one day meeting finances the corners of it's mouths turned up for change in big smiles of victory And it was more full Of cute but corny jokes than Joe MiHer's encyclopedia de gag.
 Governor-eect Ralph Gates of Indiana started 1t off when he was introduced the new Hoosier com- mtteeman. He said that out in Indiana every child born uttered as his first words, am not candi- date for any office but if it is the peoples VIII shall accept the nomination..
 Then National Chairman Carroll Reece said that the Republican Party waged the campaign or IS and 46 as the liberal party" For some reason or other nobody present laughed. Maybe he didn't mean as joke As matter of fact, big, genial congress man Clarence Brown of Ohio, who was campaign director under Reece, didn't think there was anything to laugh at He talked about 'the peoples mandate having given the Republicans "a great opportunity but great responsibility and he said that the party would have to fulfill it's destiny"
 Congressman Charlie Halleck of Indiana, who was congressional campaign manager said that the election had "sobered" him, too He probably didn't mean it the way 1t sounds because he went on 70 explain that the Repubncans had really inherited something of & mess. Halleck told about farmer out in his native Jasper County Indiana, who came into a store the day after election and asked for white shirt The storekeeper told him they otdnt have any white shirts, and the farmer said, Well, didn't the Republicans just win an electionP"
 Red.faced, white-maned ex-sen. John Townsend of Delaware took real cheery view of the whole thing He recalled that back in 1883 the Republicans had only i6 Senators Next year they would have 52 This is the day we have long sought" he said. We have elected governors Senators and Congressmen who he said coyly, might be persuaded to run for President in l948" Everybody laughed at thaS, and no doubt few felt like rising blushng. and taking bow.

COP Aldermen's Crandstand

The unsuccessful motion of the Republican aldermen to alter the is4s budget and deny the 10 percent cost of living increase to city officials earning $S00o and annually NpearS on the surface to be political gsNndSan6 play The motion had no apparent value other than somewhat ecceyed and reverse application of the old Communist of "soak-the-rich"
 The best rae of thumb apply In dealing with such Sn issue is that of everything being relative la the instance of officials and employees earning more than $OOO annually
 should be matter of common knowledge Co all that the cost of living increase for anyone m such bracket Is re tive high if higher than n lower bracket
 cost increase such brought by the imitation common denominator in every sense of the words Ap picahle to the overall unit of an incomes,
 We only read into She attempt of the majority ot Republicans avorng the motion tho0ghteSS yet harmful design for dividing salary group against another by means of false public emphasis the financial position of those in the higher salary bracket It is disappointing demonstration keeping with the position of trust levied on the members by virtue of their status aldermen We wonder if they gave any thought the matching higher percentage of paid by those in the upper salary bracketss

HUGE HOLIDAY SALES
IRrldeeport Telegraml

NaAANA@C+NAA ACAN GAAAf
 The huge sales of department stores and other retail outlets are creating amazement in many trade quarters as totals are announced from time to time. The general public has money to spend. and in spite of everything, it is determined to make the period remaining be- fore Christmas one long to be re- membere6 in retail channels.
 All across the land throughout this year there have been depreSS- ing incidents which have combined to keep many workers uneasy about the future. Men and women have been temporarily released from em- ploIment for many varying reasons. andsat times it has seemed as though the job of getting labor and man. management working together steadily with smooth efficiency. has become one of the almost impossible tasks.
 Yet all of the delays. the shut downs, the interruptions to steady production have so far failed to put a damper on public enthusiasm. Gift-buying is at its height. Goods and services are moving in and out of stores and offices at a tremen- oous rate Actual shortages are apparently being forgotten by the crowds in their rush to buy. The customer who can't find the article he wants, takes something else, and leaves the store smiling.
 Toys. clothing. household eQuip- ment. novelties and other items are being snapped up quickly, so that small quantities disappear almost as soon as they are placed on sale. The early shopper is shopping early this year. and therefore the individual who puts off his purchases to a late date will find many shelves and counters bare.
 This. in itself. is a warning to all to buy and mail early. Moreover, such a policy is definitely helpful to selling and distributing organ nations.

Views of the Press

There will be similar differences of opinion among the clipped as well as among the clippers. Some clients like to brood in silence while being given the works. Others regard these tonSorial visits as a social hour during which one is brought up to date on the latest gossip. and decide affairs of large moment. However, we are told that even the liveliest barbershop is dull compared to its feminine counter part. Here, we are told, at mo- ment's notice one can not only find cut what kind of lipStick Wally wears. but actually what the Duke said to her when he proposed. We wouldn't know. But we are sure that most barbers have already ac- quired a pretty good working knowledge of psychology.

 To further aggravate the weird aspects of the Mr. Vdor testes that result of such actions he seized with 50 coun em dizzy spells had to take vamn pills for his heart and couldn't eat Such physical reactions may all be true but the plaintiff should remember that he admits the trouble started while he directing Rita Hay worth in the picture Gilda We that picture and perienced odd kind of dizziness also Frankly thought of vtamins for that kind of trouble.

BARBER SHOP DIsCORD
CHartford Courant)


 It seems there's a difference of opinion between the master bar bers of New England and their un- enlightened brethren in Manhattan. The New England barbers have drafted educational plans for ap- prentioes that include not only con- versational techniques while being clipped. but a working knowledge of neurology and psychology. Iti New York they scoff at such a program, saying that these are just fancy words and that all a barber needs is a pair of scissors and the sbility to sell the customer on the idea that he needs a shampoo or mas sage.

THE FESTIVE HILLS
CNew York Times)

About this time of year." in the almanacker's language, expect to see country folk, and those who can reach the country easily, out Sur- veying the holiday decoration proS- pect. They have their eye out for bush and berry, creeper, and vine, to grace the festive door and the Christmas mantel.
 Ground pine and ground cedar, those venerable creepers of the deep woodlands, are on their hst-to be plucked with restraint and discrim- ination, that there may be more in years to come. The full-grown ever greens, from cedar to pine, from spruce to hemlock, with bough and branch and cone. are properly not ed. The greens that mean contin- uity must be the background for the festive decorations.
 But there must be color as well. Holly, of course, stands in the front rank. But so many others have har- vested holly indiscriminately in years gone by that there's not much left in these parts. But there's mountain holly, which the botanists call Hex monticola. for those who can find it. And there's ileX verticil- lata. better known as black alder or winterberry, lavish with it's bright berries and spectacular in many a woodland And there's the humble partridgeberry. lovely miniature, for those who are willing to search and have the judgment to take it spar ingly. There's also the orange beauty of bittersweet, now some- what past it's prime.
 There's no lack of color for those who know where to look and how sparingly to harvest. The hills may be brown from a distance, but those who know those hills know too that there is the color of holiday and festivity waiting for friendly hand.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS E Think They Are Sweet

Please tell us what you think of saccharin tablets. Several friends Of ours use them in place of sugar.
 AGrs. H. c. LD Ansger-I think any one may use up to five grains of saccharin daily with impunity. A quarter or half grain tablet gives the SWeetening equivalent fo a teaspOonful of sugar, for coffee. tea etc. and of course saccahin yields no calaries whereas a teaspoonful fo sugar yields 30 ealories.
 Breath OdOr
 When took my teen age son to the doctor about bad breath the doctor laughed at me and said everybody has bad breath. |,
 CD. R. W) Answer Well, every breath has an odor, but the odor is bad only in certain instances. Various conn., mon causes and remedies are given in a chapter on the subject in the booklet How to Breathe" for copy of which send twenty-five cents and stamped self addressed envelope.
 Banning Ear
 The remedy you suggested for running ear has cured me. I used it about four weeks and there has been no discharge now for over a month. (G. W. M AnsWer-The remedy is CD do not keep the ear plugged with cotton, CD night and morning drop in ear two or three drops of solu- ton of ten grains of boric acid in one fluidounce of grain alcohol (there is nothing I can do if your druggist cannot sell you this solu- tion).

Turks Drafting Reply
To Russian Demands
By the Associated Press

IsTANBUL, Oct. Uniformed
sources said the Turkish Foreign
Office was maintaining close contact
with the United States and British
governments as it worked today on
its reply to fresh Soviet demands
for joint control of the Dardanelles.
The cabinet has instructed the
Foreign Office to prepare a reply
for study at another meeting later
this week. Some sources said Turkey
might answer Russia by the end of
the week, while others foresaw sew
eral weeks delay.
Little doubt existed among OBJ
servers that Turkey would reject
the latest demand, as 1t did the first
about month ago.
The newspaper illus, mouthpiece
of the dominant Peoples Party, de-
clared:
"It really is incomprehensible that
Evening star., 1946-10-02

Russia should take oifense because
we do not want to cede bases or our
territory. We hope our new
answer will make 1t understood that
this subject cannot become the
theme Of an exchange OF corre-
spondence."
The uncertainty with which Tur-
key looks toward the future was
evidenced In a new budget an
nounced today. This, exceeding even
the budget of war years, calls for
the expenditure in the next Il
months Of $4o5 900 900, half Of it for
national defense.
Military measures are increasing
at time when we hoped we could
reduce" said one source close to
the government"
