 December 5, 1948 My Dear General Marshall:
 You possibly recall a conver- sation I had with you shortly af- ter you became Secretary of State in which you talked about the fact that soldier, in order to fight well. must have the will to fight. Weapons alone, you said, don't make a good soldier.
 remember the conversation most vividly because you talked with such great eloquence and feeling and described various cases during the war when well-trained. well-armed troops did not put their heart into battle because they did not understand why they were fighting.
 I have thought oI this conver- setion many times since then. l thought of it a year ago, when, travelling through Europe. l had a chance to get acquainted with some of it's war-weary people. And I have thought of it more recent ly as you have proposed a policy of arming these war-weary people as a bulwark of American de-

Peculiar People
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
1913, Jewish Telegraphic

An ancient quip has it; EVERY
one is a little peculiar. If you are
not, that is your popularity"
We Jews have been called as
whole "a peculiar people," To say
that a person has a popularity is
not necessarily to criticize him.
Popularity, of course, may be a
negative sort of thing but then
again it is the spark of individual
lily.
AS a matter of fact, it is gener.
ally the great and profound who
seem most rife in peculiarities.
The stories are many about the
absent-minded professor who put
his umbrella i'm bed and stood him.
self in the corner all night. These
absent-minded stories seldom have
a hOd-carrier or plain Joe DOakes
for their subject.
got to thinking about this the
other day, when someone men
toned with horror that Prof. AL
bert Einstein does not wear any
socks. 1 don't see why this is
so peculiar in Einstein. After all,
many of the women nowadays go
stockingless. If the women can
do it, why shouldn't Einstein? Not
so many years ago, there used to
be a man in Congress who was
called "Sockless Jerry Simpson
and who represented Kansas. One
day, he rose in Congress, read
some figures showing how the
protective tariff increases the cost
of clothes, and ended by saying
that Americans pay so percent
more for their socks on account
of the tariff. AS a protest against
the tariff, he announced that
thereafter he would wear no
socks.
The story is told that a lady
once wanted him to show her
whether he really didn't wear
socks. Simpson replied he believed
in reciprocity.
Today Simpson wouldn't have
to make such a remark, for girls
take the not wearing of socks
quite casually. Simpson discarded
socks as a protest against the
tariff. Einstein doesn't wear them
for a different reason. He once
explained that he tries to sim
plify life, and since socks are not
absolutely necessary, he doesn't
wear them. He would rather not
one would surmise, spend time ir
taking off and putting on the
socks, but in thinking about some
mathematical or physical prob
lem.
These higher mathematicians
are seemingly very often the butt
of these stories of peculiarities.
Twenty-Five years ago, they used
to like to tell these stories about
another Jewish mathematician,
Prof. James Joseph Sylvester OF
John Hopkins.
One story had it that Sylvester
once kept walking along the
street, lost in thought, one foot
on the street and the other in the
gutter, and then remarked that
one of his legs must be shorter
than the other. Then there was
the story how Sylvester once mis-
took the back of carriage for
his blackboard, and went running
after the carriage, working out
some mathematical equation on
the carriage back.
We like to tell how Naphthali

supported by others, once rose at

DUTIES OF STATE
TREASURER E

The State of Illinois, in it's
139 years of statehood, has as
sumed many new duties and
responsibilities with the pass
ing of the years in giving SER
vice to it's people. These new
responsibilities are evidenced
by the rapid growth and ex-
pansion of many State depart
ments. No office more clearly
reflects the rapid growth of
Illinois than does the office of
the State Treasurer.
To carry on the business of
the Treasurer's office, four
separate and distinct divisions
have been established; the
Banking Division, the Warrant
Division, the Inheritance Tax
Division, and the Division of
Unemployment Compensation.
The Banking Division func-
lions in the same manner as a
large metropolitan bank. The
staff consists of thirty persons.
The Warrant Division pro-
cesses all State warrants be-
fore they are returned to the
Auditor of Public Accounts for
distribution. The Treasurer's
counter-signature is affixed
and all warrants are recorded
in warrant journals. After list
ing each warrant, the latter
are micro-filmed and perma-
nent records are kept in reels
of 16 nm. film. This division
will list more than 100000
warrants in the average month.
The Inheritance Tax Divi-
sion administers the Inherit
ance Tax law in cooperation
with the Acknowledgement of
Illinois. Examiners from the
State Treasurer's office make
inventories of thousands OF
safety deposit boxes each year,
in connection with the estates
of deceased persons.
The Unemployment Com
pensation Division cooperates
with the Federal-State Unem-
ployment Compensation Dlvl-
sion in the issuing and the re-
cording of such warrants, and
the Treasurer is charged with
the custody of all paid war
rants. Current warrants are
micro-filmed for permanent re-
cord keeping.
Under the provision of the
World War II Compensation
Act, known more Familiarity as
the Bonus Act, the State Trea-
surer, by virtue of his office,
becomes member of the Ser
vice Recognition Board, COM
posed of the Governor, the Ad-
jutant-General and the State
Treasurer. The Service Recog-
milton Board is charged with
the administration and pay
ment of the soldiers bonus to
more than 100000 men and
women war Veterans of Hill
nois.
