kenly hammered as the Labor
party? 1t is extremely doubtful.
Theorists in political science
would say virtually impossible.
They would say that the strongest
part of Americas democratic back
bone is its two-party system, based
IN two sets of general principles.
There simply aren't enough princi-
pies to go around for three parties.
1t aVo1A be as logical to ssk aVbetb-

British Plan TO Sacrifice
80 Ships In Bomb Trials

LONDON. 49, The Sunday Times
said that Britain planned to sacri-
fee 80 guineapig warships in bomb
experiments off Portsmouth and
Loeb Striven during 1947-48.
The tests are designed to deter.
mine the effects Of various types Of
bombing against individual and
massed vessels, the paper reported.
OF the ships listed, 88 were built
during the war. Included were the
22,450-ton aircraft carrier Furious.

10 destroyers, is submarines. three
sloops. 16 corvettes and q number
Of smaller craft such as landing

Louvre of Paris Ranks
As Outstanding in Beauty

The Louvre building, as it now
stands in Paris, is the work of
many architects from the time of
Francois to the early years Of the
Third Republic, and much Of it is at
least ordinary. Tucked away, how
ever, in the great rambling struc-
ture are facades in which the visi-
tor still can see the original work Of
those Renaissance artists whose
ideas made men forget the Gothic
completely at time when the Tour
st. Jacques was still clean and new.
First in time and beauty is the
work of Lescot in the southwest
part Of the Cour du Louvre, where
the inspiration of the designer of
the facade was crowned by the fig
ures of Jean Goujon, greatest sculp-
tor of the French Renaissance. The
Colonnade of Claude Perrault on
the eastern extremity Of the whole
edifice is equally famous, II not
equally admired, for its grandeur
marks the beginning of school Of
architecture. This facade, inciden-
tally, faces on the church Of st.
German PAuxerrois, whose bell
gave the signal in 1872 for the mas
sacre Of st. Bartholomew.
The long gallery which faces the
river was built during the time Of
Catherine de Medici and Henry Nv.
and reconstructed and altered un.
der Napoleon III, whose reign also
saw the building Of most Of the
northern wing along The Rue de
Rivoli,

Meat Myth

According to the American Meat
Institute, the high price of meat is
largely a myth. Says the institute,
with the incisiveness Of a butcher
knife, the average industrial work
err could, with his weeks wages,
buy more Of five out of seven popu-
lar cuts Of meat in May Of this year
than he could in May, 1889. Omar
Khayyam would love to know that
a weeks wages can now buy 80
pounds of leg of lamb. Trouble is.
there's no money for bread.

has certainly demonstrated its need
for a corps of experts of some kind
even if only an advisory group to
cope with Johnny Meyers double

In Washington

'DANIEL TOBIN, president
Dof the Teamsters union
(AFL), gave voice the other
day to an idea which labor
leaders supposedly have been
coveting for some time. What
Tobin said was this:
Third Party
The American labor movement
conceivably may become the basis
for a third political party in the
United States.
Then he qualified himself by add
ing that labor factions must first
undergo unification. On the surface,
unified labor party, 81 million
strong, would be a great, potent
political force. Actually, of course.
labor is just such a power now,
operating as pressure group just
as do real estate interests, retail in
terests, industries. manufa cturers.
But can it ever be more?
Would it ever be possible for
labor to enter the political lists,
booted and spurred and outspo-

Replacement

The senate war investigating
committee didn't cut too graceful
figure in the recent Howard Hughes
warplane contracts investigation.
There were too many antics, too
many monkey wrenches flying from
all directions to lodge in the ma.
chinery.
Possibly as a result Of this, Sen.
Homer Ferguson Rep., Mich.),
chairman of the subcommittee on
the Hughes case, has suggested that
the group be junked, to be replaced
by a permanent joint board.
Ferguson opined that such y
committee could do better Job
than the present outfit. A joint
group, he pointed out shyly.
could maintain q STAFF of ex-
perts to prepare all cases which
are to be given public hearings.

A Short Story

AsoN THoRNDYkE bent and kissed his wife.
.D Lily, tenderly. Why don't you stay in
bed today and have good rest" he sug-
gested. Get rid of that cold III be tied up
straight through the day Dinner, probably,
too But III get back as soon as cam
Lily stirred sleepily, and ran her fingers
lightly down his freshly -shaven cheek 1t was
Disappointing that he mightn't have dinner
with her. but this was the first business trip
on which she had ever accompanied him and
she was bound to be good sport or bust.
Don't give me thought, darling" she
said cheerily IN just take peek at Chi
cago. But I'll have good rest too
This trip in fact, had not progressed auspi-
ciously. Lily, who never caught cold, had
managed to pluck one from the Twentieth
Century on the journey out from New York
The hotel had mixed up their reservations,
and could only give them one room instead
of the promised two Lily and Jason were not
accustomed to sharing bedroom 1t made
Lily nervous. Furthermore, no sooner had she
composed herself for slumber, than she began
to cough.
Jason had heavy day ahead of him. Lily
couldn't bear to keep him awake So she'd
lie rigid. suppressing the devilish cough till
her veins stood out like whipcords Then,
burrowing under the covers. she'd utter a
series of sharp staccato barks. Jason would
moan sepulchally and thresh about.
Now at the h1de0,rc how of a;uh+ 6f<ooy,
Jason was off to an early appointment, and
Lily was wide awake She was also she dis
covered, ravenous. With philosophic sigh,
she raised herself on an elbow, lifted the re-
ceiver and asked for room service.
I'm sorry" the girl on room service said
apologetically, when she had taken Lilys
order, it'll be about forty minutes We're
terribly rushed this morning."
Lily gave philosophic snort One thing
she liked, the moment she opened her eyes,
was her breakfast. However she rose, duti-
fully showered. donned sky-blue peignoir
afoam with lace, and adopted a resolutely
festive air.
The breakfast table, when it was finally
borne in, looked attractive. Lily settled her
self, slipped her orange juice slowly and read
the newspaper headlines. She poured cup
of coffee, observed that the bacon was crisp.
and reached for the buttered toast Absently
she fumbled with the cover - then gave a
sharp exclamation of impatience
1t was round metal cover with hole in
the middle. and it fitted over an ordinary
