The Midnight Merry-Go-Round: /:
One of the pleasanter rendezvous
around the town remains the Cafe
Caprice, at the Hotel Roger Smith,
largely because of the music of the
Sammy Seymour trio. These are
versatile musicians, Mini Baker al
ternating between piano and celeste,
Hugh Barteman switching from bass
to guitar. Sammy, himself, who
usually plays sax or clarinet is even
becoming a two-beat bass man
under the Barteman tutelage, for
some of the special arrangements.
It's the Seymour knack for judging
the mood of the patrons that makes
his music always listenable, the trio
switching from the semi-classic to
the torrid, from swing back to sweet
with the greatest of ease An
other piano-playing maestro, Ted
Straeter, has arrived with orchestra

music. too, unless Mr.. Straeter has
undergone an unexpected and highly
improbable change since we last

The War Ends Again
OCincinnati Enquirer ]

Although the war began rather suddenly, it is ending by easy stages. Having already proclaimed the official end of hostities President Truman now recommends Congress legislation to end the state of national emergency which has existed since Sep tember 8. l939 He proposes the outright repeal of 24 emergency acts of Congress and proposes that 36 other emergency measures be allowed to lapse Tn accordance with their terms
 Some acts provided for the limited emergency which began in 1889 or the full emergency which began in May of 1941 have further usefulness; and MT Truman would like to dozen of those renewed in permanent form. Although these are problems for Congress- it seems probable that the President s recommendations will be followed rather closely For most of his proposals deal with minor matters chiefly of administrative importance only. Few issues of public policy involved save for the right to arm merchant ships and the authority to maintain war housing, chiefly used by veterans in the housing shortage.
 Enactment of this legislation will not Of course end the war. Legally, shall remain in state of war with recent enemies until treaties Of peace signed and ratified or until Congress by law for- mally declares the end of the war. And that ob- viously would be premature since the treaty with Germany is only vague preliminary stage, and the treaty with Japan has not yet been tackled at all
 Whether we are technically at war or at peace matters little to most of us. But whether We live under emergency law or permanent peacetlme law IS very important to all. A good many ot the Salihg emergency acts were finished off by proclamation of the end of hostilities Virtually all the rest will be eliminated by the legislation requested Save for the few interested in trade with enemy states, therefore enc may fairly say the war is over in all it's restraints on the individual.
 In one important respect, the liquidation of war time measures is much simpler this time than it was after World War In the earlier conflict there was such public bitterness toward enemy aliens and sus- pected enemy sympath;zers that civil liberties were r,lthlessly infrnged In World War IT. there was far greater tolerance for Germans and persons Of German speech or descent-and even for Japanese, save on the West Coast We have no apprecable problem in returning to normal peacetme conditions, with respect to the status treatment of enemy aliens or suspected svnnpathizers with the enemy.

 Why did not the gentleman ap- pear before the committee and present his proposal instead of coming on the floor of the House and taking up cur time? You gen. tlemen come in with a lot of amendments to muddy up the Wa ters and we are not getting any where
 Gavin obviously was making the point that new members should sit back. and not interfere with com mittee bills He did not know that Javits' amendment had earlier been placed before the committee.
 Furious that Gavin should try to lrighten new members from participating in important debate, Rep. Chet Holifield, California Democrat, came to the rescue Of the young New York Republican. Pointing out that Gavin had taken five minutes to give the new mem bers a tongue-lashing,' Holifield said

Tn telling the story, Lewis en- phasized that this woman could endure every hardship, providing the government under which she lived was a just one.
 Several others were called on to speak after Lewis had finished, including Senator Hawks, who de- livered polished reply to the mine leaders comments.
 MT. Lewis, you have expressed a desire to see the American sys- tenn saved" declared the New Jer- sey Senator. Well. you and other leaders of labor have major re- sponsibility ill this. You should conduct yourselves as labor leaders in a manner that is compatible with the interests of the people as a whole.
 With their new powers, labor leaders have the same responsi- bility as industrial leaders. It rests on their shoulders, and if they don't carry it well, we will lail as a nation"
 After this reminder, Hawkes. add ed that he fully agreed with Lewis call for a return to free enter prise"
 We've got to get back to volun- tary cooperation he said. That is the handspring of American life. If we fail to get back, we cannot re- main a free nation.

THE DIVORCE RATE

Everyone knows that war IS costly and faglc la mess But probably very few persons have fully
 slized that one of the penalties we are paying for war is the doubling of divorce rate in the United states Tn 1945 there were 5O20O0 dvorces in the country and l6l833l marriages. These figures com rs strilngly with those Of 194O, when there were approximately 264oOO diyorces and 1,595879 mar rag.s.
 Il percentage terms, divorces increased more than 70 Der cent in five years while marriages increased clv IA per cent The social cost of this increasing rate at which homes are broken up nobody can possibly cale9late But it is plain that substantial part of our juvenile delinquency stems from the current n- stability of marriage and the frequency with which families go to piece as social units.
 1 this light. it is not astonishing that some eet.s are considering legislation to make it harder .o e divorce harder to remaTry following divorce The state in ether words is taking up the task of str.ae.hening the family institution by dis coar55ng divorce.

years unusually high, there is bill pending which would require both parties to divorce to wait full year before remarrying. And yet in other States
 there are proposals extend the residence require ments for filing divorce actions or extending the period after filing suit before it can be tried.
 Such revision of divorce laws are the natural remedies to which legislators might be expected to turn For there strict limits to what can be done by public authority through legal enactment. Too much should not be expected of such new statutes The rapid increase in divorce did not result from lax divorce laws, but from social conditions of great complexity
 We should be searching for a long-range solution But it will have to be found in great diversity of measures to strengthen the family as an economic unit And it will have be found also in the gradua! influence of the churches and the education system

 The woman pointed to fresh nave where the body of her hus- eand who had been killed, was buried Then she pointed to an other grave where her only son, also was killed, lay.

FRESHMAN QUESTIONS SENIOR

Representative Jack Javits, New York City Republican, is learning that freshman Congressmen should be seen and not heard-or at least that many older Congressmen think so.
 Last month Javits arose during the House debate on the urgent deficiency bill to ask Chairman John Taber of the House Appro- priations Committee if the bill as recommended by his committee would provide funds for the OPA to continue rent control through June.
 If the money is handled wisely, replied Taber, carelessly, there will be enough.
 Javits took him at his word and voted for the bill, only to discover later that insufficient funds were provided in the bill. where-upon the young Congressman took the unusual step of appearing before the Senate Appropriations Com mittee to ask that if provide the funds for continued rent control.
 This, of course, did not endear him to the reactionary Republican leadership. but Jayits had the cour- age to stick by his guns.
 Again last week Jayits was daring enough to offer, during debate on the House floor, liberalizing amendment to the portal-to-portal bill. This caused irate fellow-Re-
