 The escort also instructs the next of kin how to apply for a headstone, provided free of chargee.
 Burial can take place in any enc of several national cemeteries or in any town the next of kin chooses. Wherever it may be, full military hcnors are accorded, which means a firing party, military escort and taps on the bugla Veterans organi- zations and National Guard units are expected to help out
 Ths only thing which might cost the next of kin money is the actual 6urial expense above and beyond $75 If burial takes place in Ma ticnal Cemetery there's absolutely nc expense at all.
 How many war dead will be brought back? It's hard to say, but the Army estimated that 73 percent of all next of kin who have been queried want their loved ones re- ,urngj to this country for burial
 he law allows the Army until Dec. 3l 1851, to complete the job, but t probably will be finished s00Eer
 There seems to be a good possibility that 1ree trip 10 overseas national cemeteries will b. given next of kin wno decide to have their dead bur jed cysrseas. At least President Tru- man has said that he's in favor of

NEW YORK-As a professional Broadway hanger-out, folks occa- sionally ask me why night clubs get to be only the occasional center of a columnist's activities, and the exclusive coffee houses and res taurants get the fancy trade You h ear of Winchell sitting every night at Table 50 in the Stork Club, of Earl Wilson decorating the front pews at Toots Shor's and of Cholly Knickerbocker h e d. quartering in the Champagne Room of Fl Morocco. Each of the mid night chroniclers chasing the fun and glamor of the saloon be a t gets around to some favorite fash ionable hole in the wall.
 Each of these fancy Sitting rooms, oddly enough, is not night club True, the Stork Club has a kand, but the columnists hang out in a back closst called the Cub Room, wherein are herded the ranking celebrities. the movie stars an d champion baseball players.

he arrested Joseph Luzon, the mil

He was commended for his part

From 1880 until 1886, he was as

After his stint at the District

A FEW principled column
n nists this week heaped
honest praise on Henry Wal
lace's head while the rest
of their colleagues went on lay
ing the rotten eggs they are
paid to produce.
The Chicago Suns Thomas L.
Stokes took his place with the
principled few, revealing gen.
uine and long study of the
third party movement with
Wallace at the helm.
First examining the quality
and quantity of delegates to the
Progressive Citizens of Amer
ica's convention in Chicago
which initiated third-party
movement for Wallace, Stokes
concluded that the majority of
delegates were "intellectuals,''
and that ait has always been
the 'intellectuals' who
have spark-plugged such move
ments as this" Stokes then
summarized:
EVEN more important is the
man Henry Wallace who is the
symbol of this movement. He
has a down-to-earth quality that
is effective in American poll
tics.
"That will be the man who
takes the stump to talk to the
people. He is, to many people,
the good man. on their side,
interested in their welfare.
In short, Henry Wallace
becomes plain Henry Wallace.
and the noisy babble Of the
'intellectuals' dies away. and
50 does the cry about Com
munisfs being mixed up in
this movement. The more
real and immediate things are
symholized in the man who
stands before them-peace. a
decent home. a job. meat and
bread at reasonable prices.
and freedom and security to
think what they please and
say what they please"
THE SMEAR technique as
applied to Wallace came from
