Man O. War
(New York Times

No other horse such fame Man O War None was more beautiful, with lovler lines of grace and power None beloved by ad- miring and faithful public Few have lived long. The American scene seems a little vacant with Man O War gone to the Elysian Fields where all good horses go.
 He was thirty years old Had he been human, and of comparable longevity, his great heart would not have ceased to beat until he lo5. To his owner, sam Riddle, and his devoted old groom Will Harbut, who died last month, he almost human. He had the high qualities value in a man strength endurance, courage intelligence, responsive ness and affection. Harbut called him the mosest hoss in the world" Big Red. the cnestnut stallion all of that.
 Man O War was retired from the track twenty seven years ago. when he was three years old. But in two of these years he created legend of the turf that time never wither. Only once was he ever beaten in race That appropriately enough, was by Upset. in 1919, at Saratoga. But it only proved he was a real horse and not winged steed who could fly through the air like Pegasus. Later he defeated Upset handily Man O War seemed to reduce other horses to slow motion once he crossed the finish line quarter of mile ahead of his nearest rival Distance and weight apparently meant nothing to him He galloped through previous records as though they did not exist Some of his own st-l stand.
 Back in the Kentucky blue grass amid which he was born he sired royal dynasty Ee was the father of 386 foals and many of his children and grand children have been among the aristocrats of the track He himself was a tremendous money winner and they have earned more than $30o0000 for their owners Man O War was of noble blood, kingly horse His effigy in lasting bronze will stand alert above his grave in the green pastures he loved

 Real trouble with Ambassador Butler is that hes a man of great energy, sidetracked in a country where we have the best possible relations, and where he has rela- lively little to do. Finally, how ever, he achieved a triumph. He dedicated the flagpole in front of the American Embassy. The flag pole had been there several years, but no one had bothered to ded- cate it. But Butler sent his staff out to round up a crowd, which they managed to do with some diff culty. Press chief Burlingame even got the newsreel men to take pictures as the flag was hoisted- for the thousandth time, maybe, but the first time on a formally dedicated pole.

THE AUSTRALIAN SOCIAL
 WHIRL

Next. Ambassador Butler deVelop- ed an uncomfortable yen for hlgh Australian society. Canberra' the newly built capital of Australia, IS about as exciting as newly pullt Washington, D. C., in the days ol George Washington. So, impatient with its social Whirl, the brusque Minnesotan decided to stir up So- cal activity elsewhere by taking his family on tour into the SIX Australian states There he eX- pected to be entertained lavishly bv the Governors who represented the British Crown New South Wales was picked for his first stop and his staff was told to wangle an invitation.
 Discreetly the American Consul ate notified Governor General Northcutt that the Ambassador and his family would be visiting in the area. A prompt reply came back inviting them to lunch.
 Th.s was a blow For the Am bassador had planned to spend the weekend. And when a second note came from the Governor General saying that unforeseen cir cunstances made 1t impossible to keep even the lunch appointment the Ambassador flew into tan- trum.
 Incensed, the St. Paul ship builder dictated an official nott to the Governor General declar. ing bluntly that he considered him. self deeply insulted." Such note was without diplomatic pre- cedent and the Embassy staff wrung it's hands. Later he wrote a gentler note, leaving out th' stinger; finally changed his m!nt again; asked his military attacht in Melbourne. Brig Gen.

Why Change?
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Manufacturers and businessmen who pay taxes for unemployment benefits do not see eye-to-eye With rumored plan in Washington for presidential re- organization under which both the Employment Service and the Unemployment Compensation functions re- maining at the Federal level would be transferred to the Department of Labor.
 Tn fact they dislike the idea so heartily that they are protesting to the Senators and Representatives and asking their aid in defeating any such proposal
 The matter came up before the Ohio Chamber of Commerce's Social Legislation Committee in Columbus recently In resolution this committee declared 1t was deemed unwise to place jurisdiction in the Labor Department because it established primarily to artcuate the viewpoint of labor and labor organiza- tions in national affairs Both employers and em- ployees have an interest in reasonable job referra standards and in the more than S80O00O0OOO trust fund available benefits which has been built up primarily from taxes on employers. Continuation of the Employment Service and Unemployment Con- pensation programs under neutral unpreludlced agency is deemed essential to fair and equitable system in public interest"
 If it is true that the Labor Departments basic philosophy is directed toward the interests of labor it's administration of Unemployment Compensation could become rather costly and could easily be twisted from the intent of the law We believe the Ohio protest therefore is warranted and that the program should be retained in independent agency, and not transferred to the Labor Department.

 AlASKA VETERANS

Approximately 675 Alaska eX-GI's will receive over s250,000 in Terri torial Veterans bonuses before Christmas this year.

ROW OVER AN AIRPLANE


 By that time the Ambassador and General Sebree weren't get ting along well, anyway. Sore point was the military attaches official plane. Before leaving to take his post, Butler had asked John Hill dr.ng, then an Assistant Secretary of State, to provide him with plane. Later, from Melbourne, Butler dictated a cahlegram to Hilldring, demanding: Where's my plane?"
 Hilldring, seeing the Melbourne address and not remembering But ler's name, thought the cable came from the military attache. He wir- ed back: Your DC-3 is on the way"
 General Hilldring realized his mistake too late. but rather than admit he had forgotten Buffers name, let the incident pass. Of course, Butler thought the plane was for him. But Sebree produc- ed War Department papers to prove it was for the military at tache's office. The resulting squabble grew until the two men refused to stay in the same room together. Six days after Buffers first visit tothe State, Gen. Sebree was transferred

But Ter had been waiting for a visit from a U. s. naval task force which he hoped might drop in at an Australian port, So when a couple of ships from Byrd's Polar expedition pulled into Sydney for refueling, Butler hurried down to the harbcr for his 2l-gun salute Capt. Thompkins reported back however that none of the ships had facilities for firing a salute and besides the harbor was toe crowded with shipping. Butler was furious, hut settled on being pipeo 1 aboard
