It's about 78, not a cloud in the sky, the ocean is the color blue, wish my eyes were and it's just generally the kind of day when no one should have stay indoors. So today I'm going to have to stay in and work. waited till the noon mail today hoping for a letter from you not only did I want it for my own sake but I thought the folks would want to read excerpts form it in my column.

Oh well, no news is good news. I believe I've heard that samewhere before. Dearest, I can't remember in all the years that you wrote a column of it mixed up with one by somebody else. Mine, on the other hand, appears under the name Walter Lippmann, Samuel Grafton, Angelo Patri, etc. The latest one was from the Palm Beach paper.

The big headline on the editorial page says "Washington in Wartime" and it has no "by" line. Then appears a column of mine about you and I driving across the country the time you drove ninety miles and hour and read a mystery story. I still get mad every time I think of your doing that. The heading on that article should have been "McLemore in Wartime."

S. OFF, DAILY TOWN TALK, ALEXANDRIA, LA. MONDAY, JANUARY And What Did She Have to Say in a 70-Foot Letter? KEY WEST, Jan. 29-(AP) Seaman Carl W. Svendson claims the record for "weighty" correspondence has evidence to back his claim--a letter, from his girl that measures from the "Dear Carl" to the signature, "Helen." Svendson, who is attached to the naval operations base here, proudly displays the letter, composed of 104 sheets of writing paper.

Although it took Helen Dickerson, of Baltimore, five, days to write it. Svendson says she never missed the regular four-page letter she has written even daily since he's been in service.

Mollie Mattie Holland, 36, whose headless body was found in the Lake of the Ozarks last April 17. A jury which fixed Holland's punishment at life imprisonment deliberated only an hour and two minutes. Holland, who did not take the stand, had steadfastly denied that two headless bodies taken from the lake were those of his wife and her mother. Mrs. Pearl Fairfax, 56.

He received the verdict without emotion. Defense attorneys announced they would appeal. DISCOURAGED KANSAS CITY, Kan.

An elderly man told the Wyandotte county marriage license bureau: "I'd like to make arrangements for one of those trial marriages they allow over here.

I'm afraid I might not be able to get along no with the woman." The clerk explained to him that, although there was 110 wait in Kansas, the ceremony was just as permanent as elsewhere.

For instance, GOP Senator Owen Brewster of Maine is leaning toward Jesse Jones in the current fight.

But as a member of the committee, Brewster's or brilliant cross-examination made Jones look like a monkey. Brewster brought out that Ed Stettinius, then in charge of raw materials for the National Defense Council had repeatedly urged, implored and demanded that Jones begin synthetic rubber production as early as two years before Pearl Harbor. Brewster even showed Jones up regarding the committee of experts on rubber as recommended by the National Defense Council. Here is a cross-section of Brewster's penetrating cross-examination: Senator Brewster: The report recommended the creation of a committee of experts to pass on these technical, questions. Did you create committee? Mr.

Jones: Well, I don't know what you call experts. Senator Brewster: I don't think that is susceptible of definition. I think either you know it or you don't is obvious that you consulted with what you called experts. Mr. Jones: We consulted freely with the experts of the National Defense Council.

Senator Brewster: Now did you have a committee of technical experts or did you not? Mr. Jones: I don't know whether we had a committee of technical experts or not. Senator Brewster: Mr. Jones, that is a very amazing statement. Mr.

Jones: I don't think it is amazing at all. Senator Brewster: You don't know whether you had a committee of technical experts or not? Mr. Jones: I don't know what an expert is. Senator Brewster: Well, you know what a committee is, don't you? Mr. Jones: Yes.

We had a miserator Brewster: You had committee. And how was that composed? What was it composed of? Mr. Jones: I say we had a committee. We had a great many people working on it.

The Nazis are their Press Freedom "We are fighting for a free press in Germany," complains Frederick C. Crawford, chairman of the National Association of Manufacturers.

"And at the same time our home front is deteriorating because we don't know what is going on." He says this is the domestic picture he found when he returned recently from a tour of the European battle front. "One million people have left war work," he adds. "What's the matter with censorship which keeps America in semi-ignorance? I have talked to correspondents in France who told me it is not their fault. They said it appeared that America must be told the Pollyanna stuff. Let's get more press freedom here." He says also that he found a "consumer boom" in France, and the French people coming to like it.

He also tells of being disillusioned there by seeing fat horses drawing wagons with rubber tire wheels, i in spite of the rubber scarcity. This, it should be remembered, is one man's view of a few spots. Other spots are different. But such reports call for public investigation and explanation. -0 New Dramatist The greatest genius now writing in England is not George Bernard Shaw or H.

G. Wells, or any other writer often discussed. According to James Agate, dean of London dramatic critics, he is 23- year-old Peter Ustinov. Ustinov, as his name indicates, is of Russian parentage, he himself was born in London. In the last three years he has written four long plays and several one-act pieces.

His "House of Regrets," produced in 1943, has been compared to the plays of the great Russian, Anton Chekhov. His best work is thought to be his latest, with the unusual title of "The Banbury Nose," dealing with an old English family whose members, until the present snub-nosed hero arrived, have all had markedly long noses. Though this sounds like a comedy, it is, like Ustinov's other pieces, a serious and moving drama. Ustinov is now in the army, It is to be hoped that no war accident will end what promises to be a brilliant career, A Moses Never Dull The late Senator George H. Moses, minister to Greece under Taft and senator from New Hampshire from 1918 to 1933, was born with barbs under his tongue, and is chiefly remembered for his indulgence in sharp sayings.

Of all these, the one for which he will probably be best remembered is his name for the Progressive Republicans under Theodore Roosevelt. "Sons of the Wild Jackass," he called them, and the phrase was seized on by Teddy with characteristic joy. So "Sons of the Wild Jackass' the Progressives remained to the end of their chapter. The quiet and hard-working statesman may do the most for his nation in some ways, but the sharp-shooter certainly gives it the most fun. Senator Moses made good headlines while he remained in office.

Henry McLemore Takes a Look BY MRS. HENRY McLEMORE Dear Henry: No news is good news. No news is good news. No news is good news. I've said that often enough to myself and have had it said to me often enough so that I ought firmly to believe it.

Just the same I'd rather have a letter from you than all this good news I'm supposedly getting because I don't hear from you. Your last letter was written Christmas Eve. You didn't give me your usual warning "You won't be hearing from me for awhile don't fret." Maybe you didn't know that you would be on your way again so 50011 or maybe your're in jail. Knowing you as I I realize that you are not without the capabilities of getting yourself in jail and, for once, I hope that's where you are in a nice, safe, cozy little jail "sittin' on the inside, lookin' at the outside, waitin' for the evening mail." If I had to guess, I'd bet you're on Luzon, Manila-bound. Bougainville, Hollandia, Morotai, Leyte, Mindora, Luzon the United to find out whether or not you undertook to constitute any kind of committee to advise you on this program.

Mr. Jones: We got all the advice we could get from every source. Senator Brewster: Well, I think, then, we will conclude that you did not constitute a committee. Is that a correct conclusion? Mr. Jones: That is your answer It isn't mine.

Note--Last week Senator Brewster leaned back and smiled benignly as Jesse Jones appeared before the Commerce Committee. No embarrassing questions were asked about the subject which still has the American public unable to get tires. Willkie Wins at Indianapolis Sometimes a man who has fought all his life for certain goals and been defeated wins them in death. Many Refinally. publicans who attended the GOP National Committee meeting in Indianapolis felt this about Wendell Willkie.

What went on there in the closed-door sessions, they considered a victory for him. Two years ago, Willkie lost out at the 1942 National Committee meeting when the Chicago Tribune isolationists elected Harrison Spangler of Iowa. But this time, Willkie's old friends were stronger in death, and won out in some significant backstage maneuvering. Leader of the anti-isolationist group was Willkie's excampaign manager, shrewd Ralph Cake of Oregon. Cake and Fred Baker of Washington discovered that the isolationists planned to put in their own candidate, Mrs.

Dudley F. Hay. Thereupon E. F. Colladay, national committeeman from the District of Columbia went to Oregon's Baker, asked him to withdraw Hay's nomination in the interests of party He tried to propose Mrs.

Copper B. Rhodes of Weshington, D. C. instead. "I seem to remember a similar proposition two years ago, 1'0- plied Baker, smilingly, "I won't go for it again." was Baker.

Cake and the Willkie forces won hands down. Brownell Under Fire Although Chairman Herbert Brownell was finally re-elected unanimously, there was more opa position than expected. However. the anti-Brownell forces couldn't unite on a substitute. so decided to stick with the man they already had.

Former U. S. Senator Arthur E. Nelson of Minnesota, a strong Stassen backer, was the first to blast Brownell. can't function under a man with Wall Street connections who is really in there to promote his own candidate for the presidency, Nelson said.

"Brownell represents a defeated candidate. All his actions will be in behalf of Dewey. Nelson went on to suggest the selection of a midwesterner at national chairman--a midwessterner from a state with no favorite son to promote. At this. G.

Mason Owlett of Pennsylvania jumped to his feet, quipped: "The only man who would fit that description is Charlie MeCarthy's dummy, Mortimer Snerd." One bit of strategy planned at the last minute by GOP Bigwigs failed to come off. Brownell decided to have Congressman Charlie Halleck of Indiana, chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, sound off during an afternoon session. with newspapermen present, against President Roosevelt's nomination of Henry Wallace as Secretary of Commerce, This plan inadvertantly was knocked out by author-politician Clarence Buddington Kelland of Arizona who threatened a hot resolution during the afternoon session putting GOP policy-making apparatus 111 the hands of the Republican Executive Committee, and congressional leaders rather, than in the hands of Brownell. Result, the doors were not thrown open to the press and Halleck's remarks were heard only by a few. One other very important decision reached by republicons behind closed doors was to make a strong bid for the labor vote in 1946 and 1948.

Leaders said they would appeal over the heads of labor bosses for AF of and CIO rank and file support, and were prepared to invest a lot of money in the project. After the meeting, Willkie follower Fred Baker of Seattle, who helped plan the strategy of the progressive forces, sumed up results of the meeting to one friend in this way: "Wendell Willkie had more control over the republican party in death than he did in life." To which Ralph Cake remarked that the meeting left the Chicago Tribune crowd in its unual position- "talking to itself in the corner all alone."

Did you know that I toyed with the idea of going to town this morning and buying a large leather whip so that I could beat up your dog Cindy? I had four guests for dinner last night and I woke up this morning with the vague hope that I had acquired some disease like the bubonic plague or leprosy, or something, so that I wouldn't have to get up and face all those dirty dishes. It's all my fault, I guess, for forgetting to empty the garbage but not only did I have to face horrid old dirty dishes but I also had to gather up garbage from one end of this house to the other, Your darling little dog must have had a busy night because she upset the garbage can and evidently worked like a dozen little beavers all night so that she could distribute the garbage to every spot in the house. I certainly wouldn't ever think of kicking a dog but if Cindy hadn't been smart enough to stay out of my way she might BLOOD BANK.
