I want to sleep SMEARING ITSELF A ALWAYS happens with such contemptible tac-tics, the smear campaign of the New Deal against Wendell Willkie has smeared itself. In trying to picture Mr. Willkie as a pro-German and an enemy of the colored man, his assailants have aroused the colored people and the whites as well to a high degree of indignation against the perpetrators of that, type of mud-slinging. The charge was carried in a pamphlet, which appeared to have been issued by the colored division of New Deal headquarters in New York. No sooner did Willkie brand it "as scurrilous, as indecent attempt as ever occurred in.

the life of the United States to raise racial and religious prejudices" than Julian D. Rainey, of Boston, head of the Negro Division of the Democratic National Committee repudiated the libel and asked that his repudiation be widely proclaimed. There can be only one explanation for such a a little longer. Dictator (from the bathroom) Wife How would I know where your shaving cream is And don't veil so!

Somewhere in the New Deal campaign management must be a feeling that the only possible way to win is to "smear" the opposition, discredit it, ridicule it, do anything else to it that will divert public attention from the epidemic of unemployment, the ever increasing National debt, the frightful growth of bureaucracy, the industrial paralysis, the unsound economic practices and all tne shortcomings of a regime that now wants to crack the sound American tradition against the third term. Such attacks on Mr. Willkie naturally arouse the sympathy of fair-minded voteijs everywhere, but they do more than that. They reveal the desperate state of the New Deal campaign and its firm determination to confuse the voter by "smearing" all those who want America to remain America and not something dragged in by "brain trusters."

United States sat side by side in Row at the premiere of the frigidaire review, It Happened On Ice, at the Centre Theater, furnishing a study in facial and emotional contrasts as Joe Cook appeared with one of his insane contraptions. Bernard Gimbel'8 face beamed as his mouth spread and curved jn a broad grin.

Will Hays giggled. Herbert Hoover's face dropped until he seemed to be sulking. Some of the Englishmen around town are semi-apologetic in their attitude lately and hasten to explain 1) They are here on special missions; (2) They are returning to London by next Clipper; (3) The government has asked them to remain and spread good-will in America. "Whom you voting for?" Morton Downey was asked upon his return from San Francisco, last week. The tenor replied: "My wife's been in the hospital, my five kids are all down with the whooping cough at the same time and you want to start an argument." CPYROS SKOURAS, millionaire theater operator, whose Greek accents are out of a George Givot routine, is to be profiled, in the N' Yorker.

One of the stories that should be included is of the time he called up his representative, Dan Michalove, in Australia and had his trans-oceanic telephone conversation nipped after two minutes. By the War Censor -who explained he could understand Michalove but Skouras was definitely talking in code!

ICARDO CORTEZ is in town with a story which may have been told before Of the shy little man on the golf links who started to tee off without a golf ball "There's no golf ball there," said an onlooker "I know I play without a' golf ball," was the answer, "saves me irritation. Always feel fine." The onlooker said: "Say, I think I'd like to try that. Let's go around together" So the two played the eighteen holes, solemnly and slowly swinging away with driver or brassie or midiron as the occasion demanded but never hitting a ball As they came to the end of the eighteenth hole, the "onlooker" said "This is swell. Marvelous. This will add ten years to my life.

No worry no fretting. Ty the way what was your score?" The shy little man said: "73" "73? -Well, next time we play, you'll have to spot me six strokes. I took 79." rOROTHY THOMPSON and Eleanor Roosevelt probably drew more mail and wire invitations to dinner parties than any six movie stars combined.

It. is an empire held only by force of arms. The subjects outside of Germany proper have only one thing in common hatred for the Nazis. Minor revolts are already bursting like the little bubbles that rise to the top before the whole pan boils over.

Most recent rebellion was reported in Oslo where students rioted against the Norwegian Nazis leader, Major Vidkun Quisling. No dynasty so constructed can endure for long. It will fall some day. Hardly anyone doubts that. The only question is: Will Britain become part of this regime before the final blowup? The answer, "to Americans at least, is pretty obvious.

It's a fine thing to be yourself But before you can be yourself, you must have a self to be. Before you can express your individuality, you must have one to express. But everyone has an individual ity! you say. Guess again! Hardly one person out of a hundred has an individuality a distinct, original self. Instead, most of us have accumulations of copied mannerisms borrowed wisecracks, secondhand opin ions and prejudices which we call; "individuality but which, actually, has no more distinction than a wad of gum.
