The following quote appeared hefe before. But the editorial com- plaints against our fire-alarming (about the danger of the world go- ing up in flames) make 1t worth an encore today. Joseph Pulitzer pointed out: We are democracy, on it's feet in the matter of its inc dividual and national conduct, and that is by keeping the public in- formed about what Is going on. There is not crime, swindle, a vice which does not live by secrecy. Get these things out in the open, describe them, attack them, ridi- cule them in the press, and sooner or later public opinion will sweep them away. Publicity may not be the only thing that is needed but 1t is the one thing without which all the other agencies will fail"
 Another Pulitzer Prize opinion "Now about sensationalism. Some people try to make you behave that q newspaper should not devote its space to long and dramatic accounts of murders, political corruptions, frauds, gratis, divorces. Say what you will. I tell you they are wrong"
 Talk about blazing red faces: A few days after Lord Halifax pub- licly opined that Goering was anxious to prevent war-Goering testified (at the war crimes triaD and took every opportunity to praise Hitler-the Nazi system-and every thing the Nazis did,
 Gen. Eisenhower was talking about the mountains of paper work, red tape and voluminouS orders which at one time threatened to bury our army Eisenhower said the situation was at its worst in the beginning and improved as the war went on, thanks to the example set by Gen. Marshall.
 "As I prepared to leave for Eu- rope" said Ike, q asked for my final orders. Gen. Marshall hand ed me little slip of paper. It read: Proceed to London. Invade Continent. Destroy the German Army"
 A quip causing tee-hees in some of the back rooms in Argentina con- cerns recently incident when Mrs peron turned lip at a social soiree During the evening one of the guests turned to his neighbor and remarked: "Well, there sits Argen- tina's First Lady"
 That's no lady" was the retort. That's his wifel"
 The State Dept has been showed around like revolving door. But now it has been complimented- the Rankin Committee plans to probe the SD Rankin's witch hunting spree recalls the time Dies Committee member (Cong. J. Parnell Thomas) ranted that the WPA theater was c "hot-bed of communism" and demanded the ir1- vestigation of play titled "Pro- logue to Glory"
 The play concerned an American named Abe Lincoln.
 Recently Cong. Rankin demanded "Winchell's same radio time on Sunday night" to reply, he said, "to attacks on me and the un-Ameri- can Committee" We predicted that he wouldn't mention Us at all because his sort of courage confined his blasts to the floor of Congress where he enjoys the immunity Of not being sued The ABC net work refused him Sunday night time. He settled for IS minutes Wednesday night He was neat ly buried-his opposition was Sin atra, Cantor and Heater We regret that To appreciate this bigot's bunk you simply had to smell 1t He didn't mention us or even refer to us in any way-I1o dope, he Rankin reiterated his familiar hokum-whites-blacks-1OO per cent Americans. etc. He re- ferred to the Un-American Com- mittee as the "country's grand jury" -and proceeded to indict himself.
 Following his speech Q disap- pointed listened telephoned the net work and inquired: "Whatinell was Rankin's speech about?"
 Sorry" was the reply, "he didn't say"
