 State Department cables regarding the close link between Spain and Germany are too numerous to detail here, and most discriminating. One problem oil during the war was information regarding Allied ship movements which kept leaking to Nazi submarines. This submarine activity was especially bad near Gibraltar and American Army men were certain that spanish employees of the Iberia Airlines flying over the water, together with other Faange agents, were supplying shipping information to the Nazis.
 As late as January ie45 after increased ship Snkines off the Spanish Moroccan coast official American protest was made to the High Commission CT in Spanish Morocco. General Orgaz He was told (A) that German consuls in Spanish Morocco were alyen information regarding all Allied ship move mentS; (B) that Falanglst intelligence circles were in direct contact with Axis intelligence; and tC) that Axis submarines had contacts on the spanish coast.
 General Orsas denied everything.
 few days ater, however, an American official led Spanish officials to secret Spanish observation post equipped with radio transmtters code books and copies of messages to German Uboats. This incident was reported to the State and War Departments in cables dated February is and 2l l945 The State De- partment at that time was letting Jimmy Dunn goy- ern It's Spanish policy Nothing happened
 
 Inside fact is that some State Department offi- cals prior to the Byrnes administration appeared to be sympathetic toward Franco.
 On August B. 1924 for instance, three Spaniards were executed by Franco at Melia as penalty for aiding the escape of Allied prisoners The three Span- iards were Republicans and opposed to the pro-Axis policy of Franco.
 Up until the end 1t was expected that American consular officials in Spain would intervene to save them But not one finger was lifted The gentlemen of the State Department ct that time were not inter- esed in helping those who had helped Americana if 1t got them In wrong with Franco

Vandenberg's Stature Grows

Seldom indeed in American politics does the leopard change his spots And when occasionally the phenomenon does it almost invariably is accomplished with the un mstakabe reluctance of the sailor who watching the water reach the upper decks has choice but to follow the rats the side
 That's why the story of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg is such rresstibly fascinating It's truly incredible that this man. recently Old Guard isoationist die hard should in few short years have experienced the meta morphoss which renders him today of the nations most respected liberals and nternatonasts The circumstances attending and facilitating the change of course extra ordinary. But then, Mr. Vandenberg run-of-the- mill conservative. He unquesonaby acknowledged by the Old Guard of it's key figures and such was twice seriously considered for the Republican Presidential nomination. Yet today he walks earnestly and eagerly with Senators Sassen and Ball in the of the powerful COP liberal faction And again searching eyes see in him Presidential potentialities.
 Mir. Vandenberg it to us, took new political stature in his recent report to the Senate the first United Nations Assembly to which he American delegate con ributed much Identifying the future of UNO nSepar ably nterocked with the progress of U SRussian relations reciprocal candor-even buntneSS-as the sole ot securing a harmonious understanding between the two powers.
 The senator definitely has something there The Rus sian nationalist imperialism which has precptated one ln- ernatona crisis after another these past months however reprehensibe and unwse it may be- readily understand abe But what is understandable is the painful hesl- ancy the United States has repeatedly displayed when the basic considerations of national interest and nterna- tonal security plainly dictated firm stand against the pursued by the USSR.

Governor Baldwin and. ex-Gov- ernor Hurley have without question earned the honors which will be conferred upon them next month for their effective leadership in the administration of, the Selective Service Act In Connecticut. The law was administered smoothly here, with minimum of complaint.
 That was due not only to the leadership and wisdom of the two Governors in making decisions, but also to the excellent work of the men they named as administrators, the late Col. Ernest L. Averill and Commander John F. Robinson. The latter has served throughout the period of actual war, under Cover nor Hurley's administration and also under Governor Baldwins.

Defense of An Ameri-
 can Ideal

x March 2, .le46.
 Holy Otuss College,
 &f Worcester 3, Mass. Editor of The Ds1nooFat:--'
 !, "Let me whoiis without sin east the first stone"
 : Thls is not Q ''Pro ACllo, or an- other Fro Arehias', but 1t ig . tefense of an ideal that has be- come ynomymouB with the word %American". That ideal is. Never hit . man when he e dewn."
 On reading an editorial in the local Sunday papeg, at appeared as if tiiis ideal had teen violated. True 1t is not 0 sin to. AhrOgato Q ilon-Written. but generally accept ed ideal. Nevertheless it. does seem strange when an American violates this ideal, ..
 Consider this axiom. Is there not embodied in 1t the concept of real honest goodness, the motive of charity, the incentive for Scrsiving your fellow InaI.2 Is there not in it certain Christian principles so often violated by the nations this country was 50 recently atwar with? Yes I think there is, and that is why, when read the editorial in question, I could not help but feel the appalling fact that all these noble motives were ruthleSsly vio- lated, violated by an American.
 Of course this is not the first time in our city's history that this high ideal has been trampled upon. When Frank Hayes was mayor such phrases came over our radios from @ local eWs-commentator, as My good friend Frank, or my good friend Dan".' But how quick tke friendship was broken when the weather became rough. Yes, the ideal was violated there also.
 If we are to be tFne Americans and live up to American tradi- tions, traditions that have made America = America, let us follow her ideals. An American who strikes a man when he is down only degrades himself in the eyes of his fellow man, and the degradation at times can be extremely low.
 I know neither man, Frank Hayes or Dan Leary, personally, but I wrote this because I felt that an American ideal needed defense.

SATURDAY NIGHT BATH
CNew Haven Journal-coulasD

tNew Haven Journal -CouIaeT)
 There Is no comfort in a bulletin from the Indiana State Medical As- Sociation for little boys who dislike to wash behind their ears, but there Is @ definite intimation that the an. cient custom known as the Saturday night bath may be sufficient for adults. Nr'
 This bulletin deals with care of the skin and cannot be accused of eXaggeration when 1t says tiRt "the skin Is an important part of the body" requiring special care, es- pecially during the winter. CoSmet- les, the bulletin says, are AatASEac- tory for caEnouflage, but when 1t comes to cleanliness nothing takes the place of soap and water.
 Here the association striNes'a . new note. '"roo frequent batf1ng dries the skin and robS 1t of essential oils" 1t declares. For young adults one bath a day Is recommended and Is sufficient. For elderly persons, . tub bath only once week or every two weeks, with. sponge baths in be- tween, is the prescription, as older persons are inclined to have dry skins and too much bathing actually causes discomfort and is nnneces- sary.' Ntr E.
 So far, the hygienistS viewpoint, There is probably something to be- satd still for the symbolic concept in bathing,-the philosophy Of the Indian ritualistic bather In the Holy Ganges, which says in effect: Here goes the old man, and all his works. "
