NOW IT COMES OUT

WASHINGTON - We probably never will get around to all of the "now-it-can-be-told" stories of the war. Never in any similar period of the worlds history have inven- tive genius and industrial expan- | sion combined to flood the land with new gadgets, gimmicks, and machines.
 After the release of reports on atomic energy, rockets, jet propul- sion, radar and electronics, the punch is gone out of most of the stories.
 The Army's Chemical Warfare Service probably will never get out now the full story of it's use of smoke in the war.
 When we went into this war, the Army didn't have one single smoke generator, yet when the Anzio beachhead was established the landing forces operated behind a smokescreen Is miles long and capable of being maintained fl hours a day.
 Along the Moselle, Saar and Rhine whole armies were moving up behind smoke at the wars end
 Perhaps before long similar gen. orators will be protecting millions of acres of fruits and vegetables from the unreasonable frosts.
 Another process that came out of the war was the cheap extrac- ton of helium. Once helium cost around $2,000 a cubic foot. Now 1 it costs one cent a cubic foot and there are new plants in Kansas, i Texas and New Mexico. ! Among the many new uses late { ly turned up for helium is it's use i in oversize tires.
 Incidentally, if you have seen anything of a new ingenious Ger man machine which may reVOlu- ! tioniZe the manufacture of con- densers for radio, radar and other electronic equipment" notify the Army or the Department of Com merce. They've lost it.
 Commerce recently announced that this new machine, which , turned up in Stuttgart, Germany, was "enroute" and soon would be demonstrated publicly by Com merce and the Army Signal Corps. Army called Commerce and said the new machine already was somewhere" in this country but could Commerce tell them where it was? Commerce couldn't.
 Until it turns up, American con- denser manufacturers will have to , struggle along without the new machines, which Commerce says will cut production costs up to 20 percent.

The amazing popularity of White Christmas" as yuletide song reached its peak last year when poll conducted to establish the favorite carol of servicemen revealed that 22 per cent of the votes went to this early war song written especially for the occasion by Irving Berlin, graduate of Tin Pan Alley.
 The birth of the song was entire ly by accident despite rumors to the contrary which attribute its conception 10 the war. Actually. it was composed in l940. A Hollywood studio had an idea for motion pic ture to be called Holiday Inn. co-starring Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. The theme of the picture was based on the holidays of the year and song was needed to represent each holiday. Irving Der lin was contracted for the compost uons. The picture, released in 1922, was synonymous with our second wartime Christmas, and in that year the song sold one million copies in four months. Although nothing is done on the part of the publishers to exploit the song, it automatically rings the register each year as the holiday season approaches. Berlin calls it his fa- vorite song, with the exception of his God Bless America" written during World War l. Its difficult to predict songs s future," says Berlin, but judging from its past. would say White Christmas has very good chance of becoming permanent song along with other Christmas carols.

Lewis Goes Back

oousa used to play bit Of foolish
ness called something like "Three Hum
dred Thousand Frenchmen Marched up
the Hill and then Marched Down
Again."
Agelng memories are tricky. We
make no claim that this is the exact
title, but it conveys the idea. And with
reverse English it describes what John
l.. Lewis has done with his mine union
only the number in his case is 100000.
When he could not rule the A. F. of
l.. ne marched his cohorts out of a con-
ventlon and organized them into the
c. I. O., which he later quit in a huff
and now after a decade of bickerino
and squabbling, and even vocal bitter
ness, he marches them back into the
A. F. of L.
Speculation concerns his position in
the parent organization. He goes back
as thirteenth vice president, but Will
liam Green, A. F. of L. president, says
that doesn't mean anything-the line
of succession is not numerical. Because
Lewis is born dictator, and even at
his age is not likely to prove a willing
follower, especially of Green, for whom
he has often expressed contempt. it
would seem very probable that he is
laying plans to get Green out and have
himself elected A. F. of L. president,
by which move he would gain more
power.
Whether this is his plan or not, it
is certain ne did not return to the A. F.
of L. out of the bigness of his. heart.

MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
It's Sometimes Best To Resist
That Temptation To Finesse

South, while others preferred
three no trump. However, the
argument did not concern the bid
ding, but rather how to play the
hand if South arrived at a six no
trump contract.
Should South win the spade
opening in dummy and then take
the heart finesse? If the heart
finesse fails he is almost sure to
20 down, as there is no further
entry to dummy.
Harry Fishbein thought that de-
clarer should win the first trick
with the ace of spades and then
play out the ace and king OF
hearts. With this line Of play
South has several possibilities.
The queen of hearts may be dou-
bleton, or the queen Of diamonds
may be doubleton, or he may
catch the jack Of clubs three times
in one hand.
AS it happened, Fishbein was
right. The heart finesse would
have lost, as West held a double
ton queen-seven Of hearts.

George Euen Knows How To Barbecue
Chickens In A Major League Manner

Der shop quartets that ever toured
the vaudeville circuits during the
off baseball season.
George has developed about as
many minor league players into
big leaguers as the next one. I do
not mean that, other than Terry,
any of his boys have become big
manners. But he's probably sent
more good journeyman ballplayers
up than any other manager. You
may not recall their names, but
among some I remember, without
recourse to any record book, are
Bill Werber, Lee Reid, Vance Page,
Larry Westmoreland, Fred Tauby,
Al Strange, Monte Weaver, Dusty
Cooke, Jim Turner, and any num-
Der Of others.
Bucky Harris, the former ''Boy
Wonder manager of the Washing
ton Senators who later managed
Detroit, the Red Sox, and the Phil
lies, once said Werber was the
nearest thing to Ty Cobb that ever
came up in the majors. Burleigh
Grimes, the old spitballer, once told
me Dusty Cooke was the hardest
hitter he'd ever pitched to. Jim
ager of the Beaumont team as
league team.
Well, so much for the sports
angle, as such. I just wanted you
to know the. kind of guy who bar
becued the chicken I ate last night.
May I go on to say that George
and I didn't once discuss baseball
while we were eating the chicken?
And I'm not paying him off in
this way for the chicken he served
me. I just thought you'd like to
know about the fellow.
And you may wonder little why
I've referred to him throughout
this item as George" rather than
Whitfield
Well, the only thing that'n make
George madden than a pitcher lay
ing down on him is for somebody
who knows him to call him Whit
ted. It's an obsession with him.
IF they know me well enough
to call me Whitfield" George once
told me, they know me well
enough to call me George. Anyway,
it makes guy feel old when some
body goes around calling him by
his last name. And I'm not a day

By JOHN SKIES

The first time I saw George
Whitfield he grounded out to Dave
Bancroft Of the Giants.
That was-let me see - along
about 1921. The Pittsburgh Pirates
went into the Polo Grounds with a
five game lead in the National
league, as I recall. 1t was in Sep
TENDER and that kind of a league
lead looked as big as a 8 to 0 for
feited game. But in that five-game
series with the Giants the Pirates
lost all five games. They left New
York in tie for first place and
then went on to lose the pennant.
George Whitfield was known as
Postum" in those days. Among
the stars, his name ranked with
iris Speaker, Rabbit Maranville,
Charlie Grimm, Johnny Evers;
even with Babe Ruth. In the game
I'm talking about, George was a
pinch-hitter. Some sort of an in
jury had kept him out of the reg
ular play. He was, however, one
of the big stars of the Pirates.
Then why, maybe you'd like to
know, isn't this item on the sports
page?
Well, the last time l saw George
Whitfield was last night and he fed
me some choice barbecued chick

Hawaiian Statehood

Admission of Hawaii as the forty
ninth state has been recommended by
the House Territories subcommittee to
the full committee with the recon-
mendation that it "give immediate con-
sideration to legislation to admit Ha-
waii'' to statehood, on the grounds that
it has met the necessary require
ments."
AS President Truman urged state
hood for the islands in his recent mes
sage to Congress and strong sentiment
exists in the continental United States
as we'll as on the islands it appears
probable that Congress will take this
action.
That the step will be wise is a moot
question. The mixed racial complexion
of the population presents a serious
problem. Aside from the Caucasians
there are large numbers of native Ha-
waiians, part Hawaiians, Japanese,
Chinese, Koreans, Puerto Ricans and
Filipinos. What part the japanese play
ed in furthering the sneak attack on
Pearl Harbor has never been fully re-
vealed. Perhaps it is not known. But
there can be no doubt that many mem
bers of that race not only knew of the
purpose to attack but aided it, as far
as their opportunity went.
But point that demands even clos
er attention is that the great majority
of the races there, aside from Ameri-
cans and British, are Orientals, and il
is not at all clear that East and West
can meet on an equal basis. The Amer.
can influence has been widely exerted
to be sure, but we are far from certain
that if through free elections, ar
Oriental should be elected governor
and Orientals should predominant II
the legislature and state offices the
results would be satisfactory.

en-. George, it so happens is a man
of many talents. And he also hap.
pens to be a very good friend Of
mine; has been 10! these past 20
years.
Among other things, he can bar
becue chicken, or a pig, or even
beef better than the next fellow.
And l mean any next fellow you
want to put up.
He has grown just about the best
cabbages that anybody has ever
grown in New Hanover county.
He has raised and trained some
OF the outstanding bird dogs that
have ever been raised and trained
If all of America. I remember his
Miss Seaview Rex used to win
about everything there was for bird
dogs to win, nose down.
Being a mercenary sort Of a per-
son, I can tell you that one of his
dogs impressed me most the day
George had me write a letter for
him turning down $1,000 for the
dog. Personally, 1 wanted to give
George the old psyche test the day
he turned that 81, 200 down for the
dog. I did not think any dog, even
one Of those fancy kinds like the
Chihuahua that wears mink coat,
was worth $1,000. But George
knows more about dogs that I'd
ever be able to learn, so I wrote
the letter.
On top of this, George has made
Louis Keith one of his best super.
visors in the Erectors' department
out at the North Carolina Shipbuild-
ing company. During his time out
at the yard, George has dabbled in
sundry baseball teams around Will
mington; seni-pro teams, that is.
Just to give you some idea about
how George stood in major league
baseball; John McGraw once told
me that he considered George
Whitfield the brainiest baseball man
in the game. He expounded enough
to tell me that George could take
a team nobody else would hand out
uniforms to and beat most any
thing in its league class.
Now, to give you few more
pointers: George, as manager OF
the Toledo Mudhens of the Ameri-
can association, changed Bill Ter.
ry from $3.50 pitcher to first
baseman. You probably recall that
from that Terry went on to be one
of the creators hitters in the Ma
tional league and later one of the
best managers the Giants ever
had, including McGraw.
When George was in the big
leagues-while still with the Pirates

THE LONG NOVEMBER, by
James Benson Nablo Dutton;

A4AC AOANo 4NO SA'AAAAASs ~
James Benson Nablo (Dutten;
S2.50.)
Joe Mack, nipped by sniper in
the shoulder. hides in an Italian
house for the three hours until
dark when he plans to slip by the
Germans who fill the street out
side the windows.
This was not his first tight fix.
Born in Canada but spending
some years in this country, he
was a child in World War l, a
young fellow trying desperately to
earn a living during the depres-
sion, a rich man when Hitler cut
loose. He smuggled liquor across
the border, dug meals out of re-
fuse dumped in Chicago alley
ways, bunked at the Salvation
Army, worked as truck driver s
helper, labored dangerously in a
mine. The one thing he seems not
to have lacked was women.
Waiting in some pain for the
moment when he can flee to his
own lines, he recalls all the long
Novembers since 1929. Though
thoughts Of Steffie, the girl he
loved, come oftenest to his mind,
he reviews with some bitterness
and sarcasm the services rem
dered him by the countries which
now expect their money back,
which put him in uniform and
send him out to fight. He was
starved, cheated, deprived OF his
girl; he saw labor repressed ana
the rich prosper.
It isn't his war, he decides, any
more than it was his kind of a
society which recruited him.
Bearing neat little wound, ne
can 60 back home to safety. At
least that's his intention during
most of his three hours wait.
This is a tough, young, eager
book, told in clipped, masculine
language by Joe Mack himself. It
may be CT Mack, or thousands OF
the boys instead of just one. And
where it is a little too loud voiced
to be literature, it's apt to be that
worthy substitute, life.
