Now comes word that a congress
sional committee wants to investi-
gate the source OF the hugh sums OF
hard cash that were poured into
the south to defeat Senator's Claude
Pepper. OF Florida and Frank I.
Graham, OF North Caroline. For the
people down there are still talking
,bout the heavy sugar that came
from somewhere to beat the two
,taunch friends OF the working peo-
pie. Never before was there so much
easy cash to be had by ward heelers
ior ringing doorbells and threaten
ing voters. Probably nothing will
come Of the investigation the big
fellows usually get away.
However. Organized Labor was
largely to blame for the defeat oil
It's friends, regardless Of slush funds
from Wall Street. Face the facts
II the working people had taken the
time to vote. both Pepper and Ora
ham would have been reelected. In
Senator Graham's case the respon-
sibility rests squarely on Labor's
shoulders, Tor Graham had a vote oil
100000 in the primaries and only
PSI 600 in the run-ofi. Some $4,000
working people did not bother to
vote.
Yes. Labor has the votcs--bu, will

Someone Should
Silence HERSHEY

We don't like cesorship. but some
one IN authority should silence Ma
jor zen. Lewis b. Hershey. His
job as Selective Service Director
should give him enough to do without
sounding oil" with foolish words
that harm this country and its peo-
pie.
Hershey sat out" the big war in
safety. a. boss OF the draft. No
body had 4 chance TO kill him, bu,
nov he seems To revel in the word
killer"
In the last war" he boosted this
week. we had even million killers.
But the killers are old now
used mp. burned up" SO we need a
new batch OF young boys 10 be turned
into killers"
Oh course, men must kill in war.
But that is different from being a
killer" Something permanent and
evil has been planted in the character
al a killer. The boys who Tough,
the war which Hershey, himself, sa,
out IN the easy elegance OF Wash
lneton have proved they are not
killers OF the kind Hershey seems
10 admire.
Why 10 reinove Hershey from
his job as boss OF the draft and put
him in combat douty? Then We
would discover what he could do

Andy woke up and rubbed his eyes.
He did not have to think twice where
he was or what morning it was. He
threw fat leg up over the cots side
and went over like sailor. He burst
out into the kitchen, and he stopped
with his eyes big as saucers.. His
father and mother were not there.
But his Christmas tree was, just
as he knew it would be. 1t glittered
with strings of red and white balls.
But Andy wasn't bothering to look
at the tree much. There was a bas-
ket under the boughs, and something
was inside it. He couldn't see what
it was. But he could see that it had
hair on it and was alive. It was
brown, and it had a red ribbon on
it. Andy's heart almost stopped beat
ing as he ran for it with a shout.
Daddy! Daddy! Mummie! Come
and see! Come and see! Santa's
brought me what wanted. It's alive!
It's alivel"
WHEN JOHN AND Martha Cobb
got there, their son was all tangled
up with the baby calf. He was hug
ging the calf, and the calf was trying
his best to lick the boys left ear.
He couldn't quite make it, so his
sandpapery tongue was stirring up
Andy's curls above.
'Look!" shouted the boy. "He
worksl told you Santa Claus would
bring me something that works all
by itself. Look at itl''
And the boy pointed proudly at
the calf's tail. It was working, all
right. 1t was working like pump
handle and all over. 1t was going
up and down and round and round
in spirals of undiluted joy.
Christmas, on one boys farm, had
come alive.

department revealed that five to
seven per cent of the pre-school

when doing this you are under
