Thorny Questions.
The envoys to the peace table will
discuss political questions. UNRRA
conferees will deal with grave eco
nomic and social problems, includ-
ing that of displaced persons
thorny questions that, in the long
run, may more seriously affect the
peace Of the world than strictly po-
litical discussions.
For this reason it is reported that
Will CLAYTON. Assistant Secretary
OF State for Economic Affairs. may
represent the United States at Ge-
neva in order to establish the firm
est possible liaison with Secretary
OF State Byrnes.
1t is not always generally under
stood that as director general OF
UNRRA Mr.. La Guardia Is an in
ternational ofncer entirely and does
not speak for the United States.
Mr.. La Cuardia has recommend
ed that UNRRA be dissolved on
schedule and that its activities be
continued by permanent branch
of the United Nations. Many seri-
GUS questions arise in consideration
of what those activities shall be.
Before the wars end the uninvad-
ed Allies recognized their obliga-
tions to the invaded by setting up
UNRRA, not only to feed the starv-
ing, but to make some beginning at
rehabilitation through seeds, agri-
cultural implements. machinery, etc,
Now the question is how long should
the making Of gifts continue whether
it would be better to replace present
charity with outright gifts or loans
to the needy nations so they may
take over their own rehabilitation.
Life for the Devastated.
UNRRA spokesmen emphasize
constantly that the problem tran
scends feeding the hungry, impor-
tant as that is, and becomes the
question of economic life for the
devastated. They point out that
the American policy is peace through
economic and social justice. not
merely by political adjustment.
The UNRRA nations, which La
Guardia will visit, are Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Austria, Yugoelavia,
Albania, Greece, Italy. Dodecanese

commonly given to j. Carter Fort,
general counsel of the Association of
American Railroads.
Nobody Was Looking.
In any event the bill passed the
- House like streamliner passing a
whistle stop-Wlthout WhiStling. 1t
happened apparently on one of those
days when nobody was looking.
Then lot of people woke up. The
Antitrust Division of the Justice
Department set up a clamor, de-
manding to know why a railroad
monopoly should be treated differ
emily from other monopolies. The
Governor of Georgia was heard from.
He had just persuaded the United
States Supreme Court to take up his
own case, charging the railroads
with conspiracy in restraint of trade,
the gist of the complaint being that
discriminatory freight rates are
holding back Georgia's industrial
development. If the Bulwinkle bill
became law the Supreme Court
would have TO drop the Georgia
case. That. it was perfectly clear.
was the immediate purpose of the
bill.
The affair having become noisy,
the prominent member of the
House heard about 1t. He expressed
his indigna ton to one Of the Sena-
tors from his State.
Wait" he said, till that bill
comes over to the House. Well fix
it!''
You poor sap said the Senator,

bill You probably voted for it
investigation by the embarrassed
Representative proved that to be
the fact.
Senate Takes Real Look.
The rumpus over the Bulwinkle
bill had the result of causing the
Senate to take a real look at It,
Whereas in the House there had
been no committee hearings. the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mlttee held hearings lasting many
weeks. Witnesses included the
Georgia Governor and spokesmen
for the Justice Department, as well
as long array of railroad at
torneys.
But the Government Jared badly
in the end. For the committee ma
jority, Senator Reed of Kansas sub
mitted favorable report on the
bill, a report that suggested again

But I must. Even if they cut me
dead when they pass me on the
street. or, worse still. cut me dead
when I am tilted back in the chair,
my eyes obscured by lather, I feel
impelled to have my say.
BARRIERS are unfair Terribly un-
fair.
They charge a fat sum for a
haircut. and it doesn't matter to
them what kind of head of hair
you have. A lion can walk in and
get haircut without paying a
penny more than a man with no
more than seven or eight wisps of
hair on his head. The fair thing
for BARRIERS to 90 would be to
charge according to what they have
to cut off.
Not Bald-Yet.
I was in BARRIERS chair about
an hour ago getting trim. I'm not
bald yet, but time. rain. fog, sleet,
sun and the business of being a
breadwinner, have left me far from
bushy-headed. l have pro-
nounced widows peak due to the
cowardly retreat OF the hair on each
side of my head, and where my
whorl used to whorl SO sayly there
is miniature landing field, free of
any and all distractions.
1t required the barber NO longer
than Is minutes to take care of
me. And there was little or no
wear and tear on his equipment.
A snip here. and snip there, and
ne was finished I paid.
In the next chair TO mine there
was a young fellow with enough
hair to upholster half of Rhode
Island. I was actually afraid to
light a cigarette, lest a stray spark
land on top of his head and start
a devastating forest fire. He had
more hair in one sideburn than l
did on my entire head, even count
ing my eyelashes and eyebrows.
His barber used everything but a
machete on him. He moved him
with clippers, whacked off great
chunks with the scissors, used both
hands to pull out obstinate patches,
and wound up singeing of an area
the size Of business envelope
This young chap was already being
worked on when I sat down, and
when I left there was still q ire
mendous amount of work vet to be
done
But he paid the same thing I
did.
Unfair, don't you Think
Inner Man That Counts.
I spoke to my barber about this,
and he agreed with me. But at the
same time he said sliding scale of
prices, based on the amount of
hair the customer had, would never
work.
1T would make the customers
mad" he said. mo man likes TO
think he is getting older and balder.
Take yourself, for example. Sup
pose l cut your hair for rs cents
today, but the next time you came
in told you that I was going to cut
1t for so cents because you had
gotten so much bsIder and had so
much less to cut. What would you
do? Would you like that? Would
you thank me? wouldn't you be
mad?"
I told him no, wouldn't be mad
l would just call him a liar, that S
all. My hair is not getting any
thinner. am convinced, no matter
what any one says, that it hasn't
changed in year or two now, and
that 1 am going to be a right nice
looking old man. and that other
men will ask me how I managed to
keep such fine head of hair.
Wish hadn't brought up the sub
ject of BARRIERS and hair and bald
ness. After all, what does a head
OF hair mean to a man. It's his
real worth, the inner man, that
counts.
