No Memoirs for Marshall


The tendency of men in public life
to write their memoirs after retire
ment has meant much to historians,
book sellers and collectors of old con-
troversial bones,
Gen. George c, Marshall, the war
time chief of staff, has no ambitions
as an author. The general, now head
Of the American Red Cross, points
out that as Army chief and later as
Secretary OF State, he tried To avoid
doing or saying anything political. He
says:
Long ago / made up my mind I
was not going to write any memoirs.
To do that, 70 be OF any historical
importance, they have to be very ac-
curate. That is, you mustn't omit and
make it pleasant reading.
'Now, il you do put It all in, you
may do iTeparable harm, because in-
evitably the press reaction-the pub
lie reaction-devoteS itself to tho
critical item, although II may be only
one paragraph in the entire book.
You almost ruin a man."

Royal Headache

Handsome King Leopold, now 48
years old, was barred from the Bel
gian throne after he surrendered his
army to the NaziS in World War II
rather than follow his government
in-eXile 10 London.
An advisory plebiScite was held
last Sunday to see whether Belgians
wanted their king to return.
Before the balloting, Leopold said
he would abdicate unless he received
55 per cent of the votes. He received
$40 per cent throughout the nation
as a whole, but failed to win the
French-Speaking south.
The official totals were Yes (for
Leopold'S return) 2,933,382 No 2,l5l,-
88l, Invalid l5l,477. If the invalid
ballots had been counted, Leopold
would have received only 50 per cent
Of the 5,236.740 votes cast.
Cabinet Crisis
The only result of the advisory
referendum, it appeared, was to ad-
wise the king and Parliament that
Belgium is Of two nearly equal minds
whether it wants Leopold back.

Equal Riahts

The military, long regarded as
ultra conservative in peacetime. may
be swinging around to recognition Of
equal rights for women. At least, il
IS talking about the possibility Of
drafting women as well as men in
future wars.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. direc-
tor of Selective Service, thinks draft
ing OF women unlikely in the near
future but, he says, at the rate of
development Of instruments Of mass
destruction a war a dozen years from
now would require women draftees.

MadiSonvillc, Tex, Is a cattleman's
town. The Sidewalk Cattleman's AS
Sociation was formed years ago to
promote the advantages OF this CEN
trail Texas town,
One OF It's functions Is to regulate
boot-woaring in MadiSonvillo. II you
don't own cattle you can't wear boots.
Another association function is tho
annual barbecue June /. A special
guest Of honor has been flown in every
year.
Several years ago tho cattlemen
chose as their guest the "war veteran
who hated Texas most" They wanted
to bring him back TO the Lone Star
state in peOcotimo and let the won-
derS Of geography change his mind.
They did and nc did, too,
Last year the guest was the "cow-
boy who had the toughest winter dur
ing tho big blizzard"
This year the association wants TO
find "the worlds hOppioSt taxpayer" 4"
Tax collectors have been asked TO
be on the lookout for a happy tax
payer, The collector who turns in
the name OF the eventual winner will
receive $l00 savings bond-to help
him pay his own taxes,
When the happy taxpayer arrives,
said Dr. ], B, Heath, president Of the
Sidewalk CatNemen, he'll h0 passed
around from ranch to ranch. He
added' "Wo want 60 see what makes

tough one, Thousands OF returns we're

holding take on salaries was lowered
