minutes earlier when the council
voted, 81 to 6, to examine the
Austrian situation. UNRRA is
feeding the Austrians while Rus
sian occupation forces consume
Austrian food and sell Austrian
oils.
The Soviet Union. Belorussia, the
Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Poland and
Czechoslovakia-the usual hard core
of Russian influence here--support-
ed the Soviet argument that
UNRRA should keep its nose out
OF politics, and Austria, the Soviet
representative asserted, was politics.
Vicious Arguments.
America and Great Britain
argued that UNRRA was In the
position of indirectly supporting the
Russian army Of occupation In
Austria, which was contrary to her
policy. The public arguments were
all polite but the previous battles
in private session-over this ques-

in this country who will refuse to
read a column written by a man
who has to stop in the middle of
sentence to scratch. But there
is no getting around the fact that

I started getting them about 1C
days ago when, because of the ILL
ness OF my father-in- n-law, Mr.. Con-
rad, I had to bring his dogs over
to my house to live. While I packed
their water bowls, food bowls and
other dog accessories, Mr. Conrad s
dogs were busy packing their heas
They didn't leave a single one. am
sure. They reached my house with
every flea in the place. The setter
Mona, the pointer, Ben, the collie
Joe, and the hound, Tom, greeted
Cndy with gay barks and started
comparing fleas.
New Lease OH Life.
The feas liked their new home
A change Of surroundings gave them
new life. They set up light house.
Keeping in the sofa, took a two-year
lease on the rug, and, you'll have
to take my word for this, started
racing one another down the BAN
l1isters.
But, best Of all, they liked me
AT first I was fattered. 1t is nice
to know that some one cares about
you, even If that some one happens
TO be flea. I'll have to admit that
encouraged their affection. At
nrst, that is. But after three davs
the f1eas became bother, Five
days, and they were a nuisance
Right now, after 10 days, I am a
case Tor an exterminator.
L am seriously considering asking
the Army to send man to spray
me with DDT. After all. they sprav
mud puddles, and worthless as
am, | consider myself as important
to the United States as mud
puddle. Name me a mud puddle
that pays taxes.
BoyhOod Experiences.
Only my boyhood experience with
f1eas enables me to bear up. When
I was a handsome, curly-haired
youngster of or 7, our household
ranked second to the Hamburg
Zoo. There we're five children. an
indulgent father, and, always, a
mother who understood. Each child
had six or seven pets. NV sister
Elabel liked alligators and dogs. She
had an alligator named Willie. Will
lie would not only bite the hand that
fed 1t, but would Fletcherize it as
we'll. Her dog had neas.
My brothers, Cog and Stack,
went in for billy goats and dogs,
MY other sister, Beppie, raised
white mice and dogs. They all had
f1eas
Even the alligator, Willie, Is
probably the only alligator who
ever had to use his Mark Cross fin
per to scratch.
Mama, who fed all these crea-
lures, and took care of them, and
loved them, and suffered with us
when one passed away, used to rid
the house of fleas in this manner
She would make me put on a
pair of Beppie's white cotton stock
ings and walk around the house
The f1eas would jump on my legs.
They were easy to see and catch
when the white cotton stockings
were the background. I might have
been a great baseball player, or an
engineer as good as Casey Jones
If I had not had to spend so many
after-school hours serving as a flea
lure.
But, after all, who would give up
a cocker spaniel, a setter, a pointer
a collie and hound because OF
fieas?
Not this fellow. If they can take

Senator. had developed independent
political thinking in the Wisconsin
electorate to a degree probably un-
equaled in any other State. Political
education was his passion. Tireless
in his efforts to keep the people in
formed, he always was unbeatable
on election day. A handsome man
and gifted orator, there were many
who regarded his success as a trib-
ute to his personality. He always
believed that he won on the facts
with which he kept his constituents
filled, not only in election years but
in the years between.
Decision of Widow.
On his death in 1925, the question
of his successor was left by his fol-
lowers for his widow to decide. This
was due not merely to sentiment,
for Mrs. Belle Case La Toilette was
great person in her own right and
a full partner in the Senator's po-
litical life. She could have had the
nomination and many thought she
should take it. Her health would
not permit, even had she considered
it the wise course. She said it
should be 30-year-old Little Bob, as
the son was known in distinction
to Old Bob.
Little Bob was his fathers secre-
tary and right-hand man. His edu-
cation had been chiefly political.

brought to greatness by his father
as Governor. He grew up in the
United States Senate and learned
by listening and reading. When
the voters of Wisconsin ratified his
mothers decision and he came back
to the Senate chamber as men,
Der and no longer merely his faith
er's messenger, he was surprised by
the treatment accorded him. His
fathers former colleagues, Republi-
can and Democrat. accepted him as
an equal. He had made a deeper
impression on the old-timerS than
he realized.
One of Their Best.
Members Of the Senate, old and
new, never had occasion to alter
their view that Robert NJ. La Fol-
lette, jr., was one of their best.
Serious, sincere and courageous, he
commanded attention when he had
something to say. No better evi-
dence Of the respect he had earned
could be given than the recent pas
sage of the congressional reorgani-
cation bill of which he was the au-
thor and chief protagonist This
regarded as something of a miracle,
was actually the result of long, hard,
painstaking educational work on his
part. He had saturated the Sen
ate with facts. after the manner
in which his father and he himself
had operated so long in Wisconsin.
During all this time he had re-
mained Independent of the old
parties, the sole Senate member of

himself and his young brother, dur

career as Governor of the home

placed persons camps under the
guise of doing social work for
UNRRA. He said they would do the
same under the international refu-
gee organization and he called for
sole army control of the displaced
persons so that the army could
assert discipline.

La Guardia eyed the Russian
delegation as he proclaimed, Il

the allied source of these accusa- :
tions to submit his facts to the
proper military authority OF his
command. I ask the commander to
submit his report to me so that

the military authority should erase
the stigma from us. If his source
