rid Of this winesap core and my
snuff stick, I'll try to get few let
ters written before the week runs
out.
Let's see, whom shall I write to
first? Well, might as we'll start of
with Rocky Graziano, middleweight
champion OF the world.
Dear Rocky: Don't you think that
you're trying to prove yourself a
great fighter just a little bit too late?
Yes, I know your muscles bulge, but
you didn't want anything to do with
the Battle of the Bulge, did you?"
Mercy, here's one I had better get
off right away.
Dear King George: Thanks very
much for the invitation, but I simply
will not be able to attend the we'd
ding of your daughter, Elizabeth, to
young Mountbatten. Unfortunately
I am scheduled to be a speaker at
a fish fry on that day. Thanks a
million, anyway. Or had I better
say thanks a billion, since I'm an
American talking to an English
man."
Let me fill my fountain pen, and
III be right back.
Dear Herman Talmadge: Where
are you, pal? What has happened
to you? Mighty glad not to have
heard anything from you for 50
long"
Why doesn't the Post ONCE De-
partment make stamps that don't
stick together?
Dear Morris Plan Bank: have
sent you three cosigners, air express,
packed in dry ice. What more do
you want?"
Boy, it feels good to get those four
letters off my chest. But I'm just
starting.
Dear Eddie Rickenbacker: Please
thank your advertising department
for that mimeographed letter I got
the other day which said: Perhaps
you have never flown with us ..
perhaps you have never flown, ETC.
You might tell ye olde advertising
department that I have flown quite
a bit, and that thousands of the
miles were with you, President Of Ye
Olde Easterne Airlinese."

Events May Force Congress to Set
Both Domestic and World Oil Policy

second priority should be to pro.
duce oil in Saudi-Arabia. where tn.
worlds greatest quantity can be
made available. This would leave
the oil in the Panhandle of Texas
to be brought in later when 1t will
probably be more greatly needed
and therefore more valuable than
1t is today. Moreover, 1t is in the
national interest to Use now as
much foreign oil as We can, while
saving more of our own for future
emergencies.
Where steel should be used and
how much, and where oil develop
ments should be given a priority
Is q matter Of national concern
There should be . sound plan for
oil development and use, and in
the maturing Of this plan, all should
participate who have any contribu-
ton to make. There ought to be
no question of one oil company be-
ing able to obtain an advantage
over a competitor. The only con-
sideration ought to be the public
good and, sooner or later, despite
their disinclination to take a broad
and long range look at the whole
question of oil now and in the fu-
ture, responsible Federal officials
will be forced by circumstances be-
yond their control to forgo their
recalcitrance and take cognizance
of situation the existence of
which, so far. they have stubbornIy
refused to admit.
