at last by the Americans and re-
turned to London, Gen. Bor has
lived at the center of a stormy con-

"As chief of Poland's underground

There was full harmony. Once

The citizens yelped then for the queen, and pretty soon she came out too. She was a handsome wo- man in lowered blue and white dress, and when she had been cheered sufficiently her husband motioned for their children to come outside. These included the nine-year-old Prince of Naples, a blond youngster with pleasant smile who is expected by some Italians to be the next king. But let us not get involved in Roman politics. It's more complicated even than the American variety. And almost as noisy.
 It was satisfaction to see the king, but hard on the feet, and anyhow I got fascinated with the cops in those long tailed coats with brass buttons down the backs. ney also wear swords. They have red stripes down their pants, and they top themselves of with tricorner hats like Napoleon's. They are the most magnificent police I've seen anywhere in the world, and when they also wear whiskers they look ferocious. They seem to be as polite as they are de luxe, and I think it probably would be pleasure to be arrested by bluecoat straight out of Gilbert and Sullivan.
 Only I don't suppose I'll have time for that. The red tape is inch- ing through the embassy and Army, and I am packing my grip. The next stop is Paris, then Brussels, and after that no telling where. I expect to enjoy the entire jaunt, but restaureteurs, I have one re- quest; no more octopi, please.

 Wheat PIon

Washington, May l6-(UP)-Two farm state Republican Senators charged angrily today that Govern ment plans to requisition 25 per- cent of all 1946 wheat marketed was "totalitarianism."
 Their charges were made as the House Agriculture Committee an- nounced it would open an investi- gation today into the entire dom- eStic and international food Situa- tion to find out "just who is call- Ing the shots on our countrys food policies"
 The governments wheat requisi- tion plan was assailed by Sen. Clyde M. Reed, (R-Kan), junior Senator from the nations largest wheat producing state, as the way of dictators in totalitarian states,
 Sen. Kenneth s. Wherry, Neb. Republican whip, said the Govern ment's action was "dictatorial" and should convince us we are in the hands of totalitarianism." He said Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P Anderson had gone squarely against a promise" not to requisi- ton wheat.
 Under the program, a farmer delivering wheat to a country ele- yator would be required to sell al least half of 1t outright instead ot permitting the elevator to store Il for him.
 The elevator operator, in turn would have to sell the Government half of his wheat purchase. The result would be that the Govern ment would get 25 percent oi all l946 wheat marketed. There would be nothing to make the farmer sell the rest of this wheat

Rome, May l6 = (UP) = It's a good thing my squeanish bride wasn't with me today. I've been eating octopus soup with clans, including the shells, dropped in artistically among the tentacles.
 I figured if I were going to have look at the place where the em- perors used to toss the Christians to the lions and then take peek at the new king in his palazzo (which could use 8 new coat of orange colored paint I'd better have some solid nourishment. The waiter at the restaurant Tibernum Margutta called the manager who called the cook who said the fish soup was magnifico. How was I to know he meant octopi with pink legs six inches long like radish tails? An well.
 Shutting m eyes and trying not to recall my brides horror at lesser delicacies, I ploWed in and can report that young octopus boiled tender in proper spices isn't bad eating. It's remindful of the rattle snake some Texans fed me in Washington a few weeks back. fol- lowed some with spaghetti and fra gole which means not frogs but strawberries. Away I went then to look over the coliseum.
 No Difference i'm Rooms
 This is where Emperor Flavian forced the towns criminals to fight tigers and on dull Saturday after moons fed Christians to the Lions. The cages for the Christians and and lions still are intact, and l should say that there wasn't much difference two thousand years ago between the Han and Christian accommodations.
 The Coliseum looks much as 1t did in your ancient history book (remember2) Only histories don't say much about modern day Ro- mans tagging onto suckers like me trying to sell us genuine imitation cameos and replicas of the Coliseum in solid lead. I had so much trou- ble shedding these babies that I probably missed some of the sights. 4l1G OO44oSuuI AA dAAy CVCAAI' 10 Q Whopper and if 1t weren't falling to pieces Billy Rose undoubtedly would try to lease 1t for the Ro- man water follies.

 When the people had cheered long enough, the police in their swallowtail coats with red bindings stood at attention, the doors of the upstairs balcony opened, and two fiunkies in full dress suits rolled royal flag across the rails. You should have heard the Romans cheer. A
 Pretty soon the king came out in a sky-blue uniform, squinted at the setting sun ad took bow. He waved to his subjects and he bowed some more. From where I stood he seemed to be nice looking citizen except for his hair which is getting thin on top,

Tommy was not the only boy who

brighten Christmas Day and to set

snow would fall. There are 26 sleds
standing in the Post Office today,

shows an interest in students indi-
vidually, who is fair with the STU
dents and plays no favorites.
Preference for men or women
teachers was divided evenly. And
not all of the girls wanted men
teachers, either.

ner, IT, both of woodrow Wilson
High School, drinking cokes at the
counter with Peggy Smallwood, Is,
and Dorothy Littleford, 16, both OF
Montgomery Blair High School,
joined in the argument.
Edward said if student takes
an interest in the teacher, the in
terest is returned for mutual bene-
fit. Dorothy and Peggy maintained
they liked older women teachers
best, while the two boys stood up
for the male teacher.
Men are too easy on girls and
don't give us enough to do" Dorothy
said.
Nancy Drake, IL, of Gordon Junior
High said she preferred informal
classes with lots of discussion" She
and her sister Lois, 10, a student at
Hardy Elementary School, agreed
their teachers were excellent with
the possible expectation of little
too much homework on occasion.
Bill Diedrich, IA, Of Montgomery
Hills Junior High School, said he
liked an older woman teacher who
kept order But was not too severe.
John Viedt, Is, a schoolmate, liked
"well-dressed teachers" because he
got tired of seeing the same old
dress every day. Both said most
teachers they knew had the respect
of the pupils-something they con-
sidered important.

about what I've done or haven't

don't do this or that, something
will happen to YOU"
And the veteran Senator, whom
no one ever charged with pulling
his punches, laughed as he recalled
that ned never hesitated to tell a
constituent he was wrong if Mr..
Wheeler thought he was.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
who relinquishes his seat after 81
years to Joseph r. Mccarthy, a
Republican, has some papers OF
historical Importance and at least
a portion of these will go to the
Library of Congress.
Senator La Toilette, in 1925, sue
ceeded his father, the late Senator
r. M. La Toilette, ST., and the son
has papers the father accumulated
since 1880. The senior Senator La
Toilette, who ran for President in
1924 on the Progressive ticket, with
Senator Wheeler as vice presiden-
tial candidate, had personal letters
from several Presidents and from
other men famous in their day.
The son, likewise. during his long
public service. had accumulated
many documents future historians
may want to look over.
Library to Hold Papers.
All papers of potential historical
interest are being shipped this week
to the Library of Congress to be
kept until they can be sorted more
thoroughly. Some Senator La Fol-
lette probably will want to keep.
Others he will give to the library.
The Wisconsin department of his
tory has put in a counterclaim for
some of the letters and other papers
gathered during 66 years by La
Toilette pere and fills. Mr.. La Fol-
lette will have to decide which
archives will get which papers.
Meanwhile, the La Toilette files
have been carefully Grated and have
been given temporary storage space
at the Library Of Congress. The
more personal effects are headed
for the retiring Senator's home in
Wisconsin. Other heaps of letters
and documents undoubtedly win
end up blazing in a furnace, be-
cause you can't keep everything.
There is certain historical angle
also to the end Of Peter Goelet
Gerry's long tunure as a Senator
from Rhode Island. Senator Gerry,
who has served % years, declined
to be a candidate for another term.
