 From an Asheville editorial: President Truman has returned from 6 well-deserved vacation just in time to make 6 major and im- peratively needed change in his Cabinet. Since the public state mentS of Sec'y of War Robert Patterson and those of Walter Win chell are far from gibing, especial ly with respect to national security, the President can hardly delay any longer making Winchell Sec retary of War so that the country can at once begin intensive re- mobilization and rearmament for the war with Russia that MT. Win chell clearly foresees sometime in the next 12 months"
 When did we foresee or fore-say that? In what column or broad cast? At which Stork Club or huh? Cimon now, when was that? As usual, it isn't what I say it is what they think say.
 The same editorial concludes: C. it may be necessary for MT. Truman to take even more drastic action. But there is no confirma- ton so far as the notion that he might combine the offices of War, Air and Chief of Staff with Win chell as the super-duper over all"
 You don't know your Wal ter! White House or nuttin'!
 From the radio critique of MT. John Crosby: MT. Winchell talks too fast for me, but thought he said: The next world war will break out before the end of 1946.' Well, l called the American Broad casting Company, and feel little silly. MT. Winchell's exact words and I quote-were: De Gaulle's ff-the-record opinion is that the next world war will break out be- fore the end of 1946' Sit back and relax, everyone. It wasn't Win chell who predicted it; it was only DeGaulle"
 Not the exact quote, but close enough.
 Blaming us for the market crash is like throwing away the ther- mometer because it shows that the room is hot.
 SoV. reasons are advanced by the New York Times for the snowballing de- cline in stock prices. One is the effect of govt interference |. the other reason was attributed to a weekend radio broadcast by an irresponsible radio commentator who predicted that war with Rus sia might come this year"
 Now go stand in the corner with that boy from Asheville and write on the blackboard 800 times: T must stop being so irresponsible and misquoting people just because the Times does.'
 From William Shirer's comments:
 VIGIL, G11CAC D 4AO AAyo0CAy oNOue AU' Russia and the U. s. are now currying favor with the Germans for the simple reason that they think the Germans may be useful in the struggle between the worlds two giant powers" From Drew Pearson's: 'The diplomats at Paris, who are preparing for the next war, should be tried as war criminals" From the column of David Lawrence: Tn the next war the German and Japanese peo- pies will be allied with Great Bri- tain and the U. S." Gust as wv said first many months ago and, as usual, was christened warmonger, irresponsible, etc)
 From CBS correspondent Cat Paris over the air a few Sundays ago: "The way I see it the Big 4 are choosing up sides for the next world war; Almost an exact echo of a wv report over three months ago.
 Gwan, you old irresponsible war monger, you!
 The following scoop scheduled for Mondays Drew Pearson col'm was omitted by his syndicate for lack of space!"
 "The N. Y. Times banned Walter Winchell (without mentioning his name) for allegedly depressing the stock market by talking about an- other war. What Winchell really said was that DeGaulle expected war before the end of the year. What the Times doesn't know was that Winchell got that story from one of the Times own foreign cor respondents!" Let's put it here and make it public.
 Since our uch-diScuSSed (and cussed) flash" another Times foreign ace (now here) told local newspapermen that he attended the same off-the-record conference by DeGaulle and that "Winchell's quote was correct!'
 And now, if the editorial writers and all the other critics will kind ly go to hell, we will be very much
