I'll pS" which Constantine Brown.
provided him with the interesting
information that there are today a
number Of high-ranking Russian
officials who would like to see an
end put to the present cold war.
Who they are and what position
they hold in the U. S. S. R. appar-
emily is still matter of speculation,
even for the Army Secretary. But
having gotten hold of this in
teresting piece of news in his trav-
els through rumor-ridden Europe,
he felt duty bound to convey it not
only to the interested departments
but also to the Chief Executive.
Those in Obscurity Known.
OF course, it has been known for
a long time that there were some
persons with an international
background, such as former Ambas-
sador Maxim Litvinoff and Alex
ander Troyanovsky, who are ca
paple of seeing the immense ad-
vantages to the y. S. S. r. in less
aggressive foreign policy. 1t Is also
known that a number of mar
shals who won spectacular victories
in the last war equally are inclined
toward a less drastic and abrupt
policy than that adopted by the
Kremlin leaders.
These persons at present,
however, are completely in obscurity
and are merely tolerated by the
Kremlin. Moreover, they are get
ting old and are looked on with
suspicion by the real powers in the
Kremlin. Hence they have no
chance Of sticking their oar into
international or domestic affairs
and keep absolutely quiet. They
know that the slightest expression OF
disagreement with present policies
would mean their immediate exc

| you CNaC Wnen nshls moIe"ofe'
get through no man In the country
will have decided to quit doing more
things than I. My list has already
begun to run into three pages, and
I'm Just getting up steam.
To give you an idea of the extent
Of my resolutions, here are q few
of them:
l. No more careful squeezing Of
the toothpaste at the bottom Of the
tube. The Importance Of this Is an
old wives tale. I figure I have
wasted a month Of my life seeing
to it that the tube, when exhausted
of paste, would roll out fiat. What
difference does 1t make If, by squeez-
ing in the middle, the paste pops out
the bottom end? It's the same
toothpaste. If some gets on your
hand or on the edge Of the wash
basin, you can quickly scrape 1t up
with your brush and use 1t.
2. No more hanging up OF clothes
on hangers. The floor is the perfect
place for clothes. 1t is smooth ard
fiat and clothes just don't fall on
floors; and there is always room on
the floor, which is something you
can't say about closets where
hangers hang out.
3. In 1949 there will be a change
in my smoking habits. am going
to quit limiting myself to a pack
before breakfast, a pack before
lunch, a pack before dinner and
only one pack after dinner. am
going to smoke all I want to from
now on.
4. No more stinting on shoe laces.
I am going to keep five or six extra
pairs on hand something no one
has ever thought of doing) so that
I won't always have to tie knots IN
nv shoe laces when I am in a hurry
to get dressed.
5. In 1s49 I am going to quit the
practice Of pouring of the cream
before pouring myself a glass OF
milk. am going to shake the bottle
and have q good, rich drink. I am
not at all sure that every one else Is
so careful to preserve the cream Tor
coffee or cereal, and wouldn't be
surprised If I hadn't been getting
more than my share Of skinned
milk.
6. During the next year am go
ing to be open and aboveboard
about drinking water directly out OF
the pitcher in the refrigerator. In
the past I have always looked
guiltily around to be sure that no
one caught me in the act. From
now on I am going to take the
pitcher out and drink right in front
of any one who happens to be pres
ent.
7. No more waiting until the first
layer Of candy is gone before start
ing to work on the second. have
found out that by waiting until the
first layer was gone, some one is apt
to get my favorite pieces from the
second layer before get them. This
is particularly true Of covered nuts,
which are easily distinguishable.
8. No more dancing duty dances
with my hostess. Hostesses are in
variably bad dancers. If they had
any graciousness about them they
would come on one crutch so no one
would feel that he had to dance
with them.
o. No more looking at eclipses
through q piece of smoked glass. I
never can see anything and always
feel guilty about having to lie about
having seen something I didn't.
That1l give you an idea Of how
thoroughly I am working on my
resolutions.
1949 Is going to be lot more fun
If I just have the will power to stick
to these promises to myself.
