Talk to those who survived Wake. Ask the fliers who flew the first and pathetic B-17 formations. Ask, Mr. Wallace, any of the men who had to try to fend off death with inadequate equipment, My guess is, Mn Wallace, that you'll never know how it feels to be an American when the chips are down. If I am wrong, pardon me.

Distributed by McNaught Syndicate. Ine AC Starts District Club The CIO Political Action Committee has organized a permanent PAC for the 13th Congressional District. It was announced as "a part of the ClO-PAC program to form one in each Congressional District to place political activity on a permanent basis." A letter to Norris W. Poulson, district Representative in Congress, was the first undertaking of the new committee. It urged Poulson to work for rent control, for increasing the minimum wage from 40 cents to 75 cents an hour and for the repeal of the Taft- Hartley law.

CHEVILLON at BILTMORE HOTEL TUESDAY, APRIL 5 BETWEEN 9:00 A.M. AMD 7:00 P.M. YOnil No batter climate A No finer beech For a man who knows nothing about war, Henry Wallace talks mort about war than" anyone I can name offhand. Why doesn't Mr.

Wallace talk about something on which he is an authority? Like, say, double-breasted corn with a chicken in every ear, or how it feels to run for the Presidency and be magnificently repudiated by the people of the United States, or how it feels to be a failure as a magazine editor, or how it feels to be thrown out of the Cabinet. Why does he make war his chief topic of discussion? Has the man ever been to war? Has he ever been shot at? Has he ever led a patrol when every step called for every ounce of manhood in a man? Has he ever been hungry as a soldier? Has he ever been tired as a soldier? Has he ever been hit with steel? Has he ever clung to the ground and prayed and prayed and begged that he would be man enough to take what was being asked of him? Has he ever been mad at the sight of friend all torn apart? If he hasn't, let him stop talking about war. In his speech against the Atlantic pact he spoke of how it moved the hearts of America right up to the muzzles of the first gun fired in Europe. I don't want to keep asking questions, but has Mr. Wallace ever looked a muzzle in the eye? Has he ever had one shoved against him? Would he know a muzzle if he saw one? Could he fire a gun of any sort? Perhaps he could, but only after announcing over national hookups that he was going to.

As I have said before when speaking of Mr. Wallace, he seems to think that he is the only man who believes that war is hell and gets people nowhere. Honestly, to listen to him talk you would think that he holds a copyright on the conviction that peace is to be desired. To listen to Mr. Wallace talk you would think that he is the only man who knows that pacts, be they Atlantic or Pacific, are not what most men and women in the world would want, and that a world that didn't have to have pacts would be the best sort of world.

Please, Mr. Wallace, there are millions and millions of people in the world who would like nothing better than to know that peace was here forever, and that all the millions poured into planes, guns, ships, rockets, would be poured into edu-cationj health, housing and the fight against intolerance. I think there are millions who suffer just as much as you do, have just as many heartaches, but who have something deep inside of them that makes them" unable to turn against their country. You wouldn't by any chance think that any mother, be she Russian or American, did not cry in her heart when she heard that her son had been killed. You wouldn't by any chance think that any man who, in fighting for his country, lost part of his body said to the medics that he loved war and only hoped he could get back into the battle.

So, Mr. Wallace. No, no, and no. Men who have fought know the misery of it. They hate war and all that it means.

But they also know a thing-or two. The Flying Lied Elorso lias Hew Home A new landmark in the growth of Southern California is open today as the Home Office of the General Petroleum Corporation.
