Young Visitor Is Thrilled
Bv Clothes in Il. s. Stores:
By A mn Cline

The sight of stores packed with
clothing affected Clare Winchester
the same way the sight of toys
affects a child on Christmas morn
ing. It was thrilling! She couldn't
believe that it was possible to walk
into a store and get just about any
thing you want.
You see, the tall, blond and at
tractive Clare just recently came to
this country from England. Over
there the picture is quite the re-
verse. Not only are clothing cou-
pons still in effect and rationing
rigidly enforced, but women's ap-
parel is practically nonexistent.
How heartwarming it was to wit
ness such show of appreciation
and gratitude for the items avail
able in this country. by my stand
ards there's no shortage at ALL" she
stated
Twenty one year Clare was
interviewed at the home of her aunt,
Mrs. Robert P. Patterson, wife of
the Secretary of War. Her father,
Mr.. Tarleton Winchester, is Mrs.
Patterson's brother. He now is in
London. And Clare's English mother
is over there, too, but will join her
daughter here as soon as the ship
ping strike is over and she is able
to sail. The visitors future plans
are indefinite until her mother ar

Right now Clare is being intro
.duced to the American version of
rugby. Last week end she saw her
first football game when Princeton
played Rutgers. 1t was kind of
hard for her to know who to root
for-she has one cousin at Prince
ton and two at Rutgers. But they
tossed aside any feeling of school
rivalry and concentrated on ex-
planning the game to her. She
found it very exciting and said, II
can understand why people get all
wrapped up in the game"
Friday she left for Cambridge
where she attended the Harvard

week she's going to see West Point
play West Virginia. While at the

Patty is probably the most domestic
member of the household. She likes
to cook and has become expert

Charles likes to garden-an inter-
est he and his mother share. Since
he was years old he has insisted he
wants to become a farmer and has
even tried his hand at raising vege-
tables. His small garden produced a
very successful crop of tomatoes a
year ago, his mother reports.
The Undersecretary, who is an
ardent golfer and fisherman, also is
the musician of the family. He
plays the piano, his repertoire rang

where her husband also was born
and reared. Strangely enough, al
though their fathers were friends of
land standing, Priscilla and John
didn't meet until Mr.. Sullivan
started practicing law in Manches-
ter. BY then, Priscilla was a stu
dent at Vassar. They were married
in 1882, six months after her 3radu-

They have made their home In
Spring Valley since 1889 when Mr..
Sullivan came to Washington. as an
assistant to the commissioner of
internal revenue. He was sworn in
the day that England and France
declared war against Germany. He
became Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury in 1910 and was serving
as Assistant Secretary of Navy
for Air when he was made Under
secretary last June. 3
The Sullivans still have their
home in Manchester where the fur

Sullivan's skill in interior decorat-

spend a part of the summer in Man

where her mother has had home
for number of years.
There is garden at the beach

opportunity to indulge her fondness
for flowers. And some OF its choicest
blossoms last summer provided dec

Mrs. Strong learned the Japanese

Let's Start the Show

One of the greatest shows on earth the of Amer sea troubles series of unfortunate delays has kept the show in rehearsal while the audience out front has waited mpatenty for the curtain to And too many of these delays be traced to some of the leading players.
 Among them is that veteran thespan, John L. Lewis Mr. Lewis effective in his annual negotia tons with the mine operators He threw away the sclp and refused talk about wages and hours until certain other matters had been settled And he wrote and delivered an exit speecha masterpiece of antphona sonortes which would have done credit to Old Testament prophet Inen he retired to the wings
 He has remained there sulkly and aoof knowing that the show can't go without him. Maybe he is waiting Tor more applause But he shouldn't be surprised he starts hearing misses and catcals instead For the audience IS getting little tired of his acbksage temperament
 From what can be pieced together of this behndthe, scenes pout seems that Mr. Lewis wants heath and welfare fund.- presumably to be financed by the operators on royatyperton basis and administered by the union But having made his general demand, he unwilling to discuss it's implementation with the mine owners.
 The operators apparently don't up to the royalty idea But they have offered to make joint contributions with the union such fund which would be by an outside agency such the Red Cross They also nave offered funds collected from miners pay TOT medical and hospital service to any local unions that dissatisfied with the way these funds are now being useo
 Furthermore the operators have agreed to accept work mems compensation laws in states where the observance o such laws is optional And they have proposed that joint committees of miners and operators get together to study state mining laws in the interest of greater safety
 No one can blame Mr. Lewis for wanting protection for his miners in their hazardous calling They deserve the fullest coverage of compensation payments nos ptal and medical treatment death and survivor oenes They must demand and secure working conditions ol the greatest possible safety
 In short there is nothing wrong with Mr. Lewss goals But there is something obviously in his peulant n- sstence that they be approached only along his oneway road and in his curious strategy Of proposing without oS cussing.
 Meanwhile the show again is stopped The coal strike reaches out to paayze again the preparations for large scale production and employment which have been repeated ly and dangerously delayed. Surely MT. Lewis and the operators far apart that candid and honest par gaining could not bring them into agreement Recon version is not affair that be delayed for per sona reasons of policy prestige. So Mr. Lewis let's get on with the show!

 General Patton especially paid his compliments to the famous British Field Marshal, Montgomery whom he criticized with almost the same buntness as the soldier in the Sicilian hospital whom he slapped
 Patton felt that Montgomery was entirely too slow and cautious and that the war could have been won months earlier the British had been willing to take the same losses as the Americans.
 only four copies of the diary are in existence and the War Department to date has frowned upon publication Should 1t see the light of day. the American public will probably read some crisp con- nents regarding Pattons lightning rush across France almost to the border of Germany and the real reason he had to stop
 Official explanation at the time was that he had run out of gasoline However 1t will be shown that the real reason was General Eisenhower's decision to wait for the slower British Marshal Montgomery had not yet decided to move and 1t was not considered polite to leave this famous F1elo Marshau so 4ar behind
 General Patton also has some CaustiC things to say about General Eisenhower and the whole
 Another phase of Patton's history which should make significant reading is the manner m which ne crossed the Rhine on March 22, lo45 establishing bridgehead of eight miles in the space or feW short hours. This operation accomplished With only one small army and few casualties, attracted nttle attention in the press.
 But meanwhile Marshal Montgomery, command ing three armies including the Ninth American Army, advanced March 2 and was able to gain a bridgehead of only one mile. The Montgomery oper" ation was publicized as great achievement, despite the fact that Patton had already crossed the Rhine and taken greater territory.
 To date the Patton family also has decided to hush up the Generals diary. However, before he died the General told friends that he would like to have a monument built in France in memory of the Third Army and some of his comradeS-in arms hope his diary may be published and the proceeds used toward this memorial.
 NOTE-During the war this column published Oct 22 l944, the story of how Eisenhower was ex- ,asperated' at Montgomery's slowness, and how the British Field Marshal, demanding more American troops, refused to launch the Normandy break through at Caen. This column brought an emphatic British denial.
