WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY?

Hobbies are the fascinating diversions that people turn to which divert the energies into wholesome exciting interesting channels.
 Our lobbyist for the week is none other than Lester Abbott, who has built a very complete woodwork shop in his cellar and there he pursues his par ticular hobby of cabinet mak- ing.
 His hobby requires very me ticulous and careful handling of his materials, a touch, a par ticular touch, for his work. Mrs. Abbott says that at times, she feels like Johns other wife, since Lester loves his hobby of cabinet making so much.
 For Xmas, Lester turned out a cocktail bar, bookcase, sev- eral tables, utility cabinets, stools, and smoking stands.
 He has found, as do so many lobbyists, that eventually constructive hobbies begin to pay financial dividends and now has so many orders that he finds 1t difficult fulfilling them.
 By the way, the various com munity centers offer excellent opportunities to begin to de velop a hobby; why not visit them?

THIS AND THAT By Walter Wendau

At the very close of the las session of the LIN, one of tn major questions was what tn Council of Nations was goin! to do about the appeal of Jal Shuts in behalf of the Unio1 of South Africa's ambition t. take over another whole sectio1 of Africa.
 Fortunately flor minorit, groups everywhere in the worlt the request was turned down Fortunate because behind tn appeal of MT. Shuts was tn malicious racial propagand; that makes some man feel tha because they have less pigmen in their skins than other men that they have the God givel right to lord 1t over them.
 This concept of course is nc different than the now out moded divine right of kings The concept that held that nc king could really do a wrong
 But 1t is well to remember that these concepts come ant go in this world according tC ability of some people to apply them. In other words the mere fact that they are not the pres ent mode, does not mean tha1 all of the people who believe il them are out of existence. Il merely means that these people at the moment are not in the driver seat.
 The identical formula holds in the field of race relations ir America. There are many in. justices that used to be inflicted upon Negroes, that at the mo. ment are not the mode. As 8 result of this change the Negro has made some advancements toward fuller citizenship parti- cipation. !
 But let no man or woman be misled by these changing cycles for they do not mean that all people have at last lost their hopes or ambitions to. see Ne. groes definitely set apart as menials and incompetents. The people give ground only as the pressure of community attitude will not stand for certain viola tionS.
 They are ever vigilant to re. cover the ground that they have lost. They do it in various and sundry ways. One major tao. tic is to cultivate certain Ne. groes and make them feel that their overall objective is to help the group advance. They sympathize with them in all o1 the problems that they know they have, but they make sure to implant in their minds the child concept. The concept that the whole group is young and inexperienced an dthere- fore not ready for certain citi-

the scope of his interests and duties,
has given a good account of himself
but even he has not had general
diplomatic experience. With Secre-
tary Marshall gone, a new Under

in command. He is man of at
tractive personality and general in

knows about diplomacy is what
Dean Acheson was able to tell him
during a short ''briefing" period.
Necessarily, during the absence in
Rio de Janeiro of the responsible
head of the department., important
decisions will have to be made by
this newcomer in the department
and for advice he will have to de-
pend on men even less experienced
than he is.
One man whom Secretary Mar
shall should have taken with him
was Spruille Braden, who alone had
the courage to call the turn on Mr.
Peron and attempt to check his
Hitlerian aspirations to acquire a
dominating influence over a large
portion of South America. If not
Mr.. Braden, then some one else
should have gone along whose un-
derstanding of and firm attitude
toward Peron's devious maneuvers
that gentleman would have re-

Juan Peron, the America hating

When James F. ByrneS was Sec
retary of State, he attended con-
ferences, first, in London, then in
Paris, and then in Moscow, for long
critical weeks. If he had succeeded
in coming to an agreement with
Russia, he would have been highly
acclaimed. But no such thing hap
pened. He came back q frustrated
man, despite the fact that as a ne
gotiator he has had much more ex-
perience, and at least on the record,
is more clever than his successor.
Even 50, Secretary Byrnes did not
go away from Washington leaving

amateurs. The extremely able and
adroit Dean Acheson, the Under
secretary of State, became Acting
Secretary, and Secretary Byrnes
was able to take with him that
other assistant of outstanding abil-
ity and proved capacity, Benjamin
v. Cohen, the counselor of the de-
partment.
Should Have Sent Acheson.
Il was my feeling that Secretary
Byrnes should have sent Under
secretary Acheson to these confer
ences as chief of mission. After all,
neither Prime Minister Attlee nor
Marshal Stain attended any of
them and, in effect, Secretary
Byrnes ranked with these two men.

knows, it Is a distinct advantage

to say that he cannot give a final
answer, but must refer the issue
to his principal. have had no rea-
son to change my mind that this
would have been sounder course
for Secretary Byrnes to have pur-
sued.
Unfortunately, Secretary Mar
shall's trip to Rio is under much
less favorable conditions than were
those of his predecessor. Not only
is Secretary Marshall himself lack
ing in experience as negotiator,
he has not taken with him men
upon whose judgment and sagacity
he can rely as implicitly as Secre-
tary Byrnes was able to depend upon
Benjamin V. Cohen. But this Is
not the worst of it. Due to the
exodus of trained sand experienced
men during the past few months
from the State Department, the
ranking officials left there to guard
the much more perilous situation in
Europe are amateurs.
This is not a reflection upon the
character or ability of any man in
the State Department, but surely
It is an occasion for worry when one

which he escaped with the aid of
the American OSS, Gisevius was
a German government official, most
of the time in the ministry OF in
terror, later in the counter -intelli-
gence of the army. AS such he had
access to confidential documents
and contacts revealing, to an extent
that few knew and none other lived
truthfully to tell, the methods and
practices of the Gestapo, spearhead
of the Nazi revolution-the plots and
counter-plots. espionages and coun-
ter-espionages, during the gradual
subjection of 100000 people to
the most unconscionable gang that
ever seized a state and led it to
apocalyptic ruin.
During all this time Gisevius be-
longed to an opposition that never,
for a moment, relaxed its efforts
from inside and outside the govern
ment to break the rule of this gang
and save Germany and the world
from the ultimate disasters 1t had
set in motion. The book is thus q

The why" 1t Happened.
GiSevius brings to his history more
than knowledge of facts. He is
always interested not only In what
happened, but why it happened:
What combination of circumstances
attend the fall of great state and
it's dissolution in progressive revolu-
ton and war.
His revelations will not satisfy
those who have all the ready-made
answers, such as that the Nazi revolt
was a plot of industrialists," or
Hitler "stooge of German mill
tarists," or "Naziism a true express
sion of Germany" Gisevius, as he

after the arrival in Trieste Of Wit

trained Communist with a perfect
pro- Moscow record. Vidali, who is
known to the American intelligence
services under the aliases Carlos
Contreres, Enia Sermenti and others,
is a native of Trieste.

Vidal became identified with the
Communist movement at the age
of IT, but because of Fascist per-
secution went into exile abroad. He
found temporary haven in. Austria,
Czechoslovakia, Germany and North
Africa and finally reached the
United States in 1925.
He became active in the Commu-
mist movement in this country as a
member of the Italian section of
the Workers Party and edited Its
official organ, II Lavoratore. He
was also one of the organizers of
the Anti-Fascist Alliance of North
America and of the Refugee League
of North America. His activities
became obnoxious and he was de-
ported in 1927.
Vidali's trail is picked up later in
the Spanish Civil War, where most
