Howard Y. 0'Bfien
Dies Of Cancer He
Discussed in Column
By tho A-s,eiutad Prass

CHICAGO, Oct. Howard Vim
cent O'Brien, 50, died last night In
a suburban Evanston Hospital of
cancer, the ailment that he had
frankly discussed last July with
readers OF his column in the Chi
cago Daily News.
Mr.. O'Brien had been III for more
than q year and his column-for-
merly a daily feature for almost IS
years-was written intermittently
from the hospital room he called
Cell 308" during that time.
Last July 1S he wrote of his can
Ger, contending the disease should
be given the widest publicity"
."It was near the base Of the spine" !"
he wrote, "a most inaccessible spot.
"It was fastened to everything in
the region so that getting it out in
volved considerable damage to ad-
jacent and innocent property"
He advised his readers:
IF swelling turns up, don't be
any slower about doing something
about it than you would about turn
ing in a fire alarm"
Mr.. O'Brien joined the Daily News
as book editor in 1928 after having
written several novels in the pre-
ceding 16 years.
In 1882, he took over the column
that had formerly been conducted
by Eugene Field, noted author, who
had called 1t "Sharps and Flats.
Mr.. O'Brien changed the title to
"All Things Considered"
One of the most famous Of his
columns was written during World
War II. It was entitled so Long,
Son" and told of a fathers fare
well to his son going off to war
The column was dramatized on the
radio and later published as a
booklet.
His son, Donel, a navigator in
an Army bomber, later was killed
on a mission over Germany.

ALL THE TROUBLE NOT DUE TO LABOR

Every once in a while when | try to buy
something | must have | am told it is %unavail-
able on account of workers being on strike
somewhere. Everywhere | find an impulse
to blame scarcity upon labor troubles. The
newspapers are full of such talk. l have been
doing a bit of checking up and find that most
Of this is propaganda. For example, the fig
ures of the Bureau of Labor Statistics disclose
that in January and February strikes account
ed for a loss Of only one-fifth of one per cent
OF estimated working time in all industries.
SO it isn't the working man and the working
woman that is to blame for all the shortages.
1t Just so happens that the workers don't hap
pen to own the newspapers that tell these
fables. Big newspapers cost hundreds Of
thousands of dollars for their physical plants
alone and their little brothers and sisters al
most invariably follow the line fixed by the
big boys in the game. 1t is also worth noting
that the industrial worker, hundreds or thou
sands of miles away is a convenient scape-
goat.-Western News, Hamilton.

WHAT is AN AMERICAN?

If to be an American were dependent upon
birthplace alone. America would collapse as
an over-heavy structure. II 1t were a mere
matter of nationality. America would soon be
one with Tyre and Sidon. Were it condition
ed upon race. America would fall as did the
Mongol Empire and all other countries found
ed upon racism.
Anyone-no matter of what race, nation
alitv or color-can be an American. Acct
dent of birth does not make an American.
And an American-by-choice (wrongly called
foreign born) is oftentimes a better citizen
than the native born or American by birth
and frequently more conscious of the import
ance and value of that citizenship.
To be an American is not Just a matter OF
declaration-it is a challange to act Like
almost all things worth while, being an Amer
lean is not always easy. 1t means putting

LICENSES ISSUED
BY JOHN HOLMES
OFFICE

John j. Holmes. Montana state audi
tor and eX-officio insurance commits
sioner, announced that his office had
recently completed issuing licenses
to 1877 fire insurance companies and
1o3 casualty companies under the new
Montana law passed by the Both legis-
lative assembly, empowering the writ.
ing Of multiple lines of insurance. The
new licenses will be effective from
April l, 1947 to March 81. 194S.
Mr.. Holmes explained that prior to
April l, 1947, a fire insurance com
pany was restricted to insure against
losses caused by fire only, while a
casualty company was prohibited
from taking risks against loss by fire
In certain instances, this made it nee
essary to insure in two companies il
order to have complete coverage or
a business or a property. The recent
Legislature repealed this prohibition
thus allowing n company to insure
against loss caused by fire and casu
atty.

aside prejudice and intolerance. 1t means
living 50 that not only has each individual an
opportunitv for life. liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. but that he comedies freely 10
every other individual the same privilege.
Ii means fighting not for ones own child
alone but for all children-being willing to
give up for the good of others-pioneerlng
for progress and prosperity for the people as
4 whole.
II this yardstick were strictly used, we
would perhaps find few individuals able to
prove their Americanism-but it would find
the great mass of people working toward that
end.
TO be an American is a thing OF the spirit.
II has nothing to do with birthplace. race,
color or religious beliefs. 1t is a creed in
which to believe-a standard by which to
live. an ideal toward which to strive. a faith
for which to die. And it is that spirit animat-
ing its citizens which will make America en-
dure.

PALESTINE:
u. S.-British Rift

While diplomatic observers ex-
pected nc major rift to develop be-
tween the U. S. and Britain W the
heated exchange on the Palestine
question. the outburst pointed up the
apparent cross-purposes at which the
two allies were working in the stra-
tegic Middle Eastern region with its
oil-laden lands.
Foreign Minister Bevin's charge
that President Truman had disrupt
ed delicate British negotiations for
settling the Palestine issue by de-
handing admission of 100. 900 Jews
into the Holy Land before the 1916
Congressional elections to get votes
was Immediately denied by the
White House. In a prompt reply. it
was said that Mr.. Humans decla-
ration merely reaffrmed the U. S.
position on Palestine taken in the
summer of l945.
Republican senators we're quick to
rise to the Presidents defense.
Brewster rep. Me- said that Bev-
in was trying to make MI. Truman
the "sacrificial" goat for Britain's
failure to work out an equitable
agreement between Jews and Arabs,
and Taft rep. o. pointed out that
Bevin had conveniently dropped his
proposal for partition of the Holy
Land in the face of stiff Arab oppo-
sition.
