the OPA for $23000 on the ground that be bruised her reputation by challenging her expense account has sounded a sickening note In the revolution It Is not pleasant to us who by tradition and Instinct have regarded auditors as worthy opponents to be met with such fair weapons of ingenunity and high dignity and in some cases with temperament This action may be in the spirit of the times but it will arouse no cheevs among journalists or ballplayers of the old school and I doubt that any veteran traveling drummer will wish the lady well That is not the way the game is played You donl try to collect for personal injuries when a sportsman bleeds your nose in a friendly fight Auditors in their peculiar way are not bad Their job is to detect not larceny so much as stupidity and some have been known to glow with admiration for beautiful examples of a peculiar art If a war correspondent with T4ersh- ings column in Mexico lost $125 in the poker game and the item showed up as the price of one horse shot from under him by skulking Villistas the auditor might know privately that the reporter had an expensive curiosity and a weakness for inside straights but pan-4 it nevertheless But if the correspondent had two bad nights and charged $250 for the horse the auditor was justified in faulting him for sheer laziness He should have had the energy and personal pride to split it up into two entries accompanied by receipts of $125 each separated by several other items and dates such as "mess bill May 8 to 15 $8450" "news tips from Mexican peons $35- May 11" and "share of cost of presentation sword for Captain Patton May 14 $40" An auditor has a right to demand a little plausibility INN SNIP i jr-: ti 4 11) --lo 4- 1- 411 vit 14V 11 tt 4 4-- 7c 4 a 44 t4ttlt a 4' )'17ifigare'l

Dolt the party? Those who have watched this peerless politician at work through the years in state andnational maneuverings properly believe that he will make his show o(rebellion pocket his appointment and before election rolls around announce his support of Roosevelt Farley grew to power through party fidelity Ile is still a party man and realizes the folly of the bolter The politician who jumps the fence is a dead duck politically however justified his "mad" against the organization and British military leaders have had some a differences of opinion in the all strong-minded men there was unani-- mous agreement before the invasion started except on one point That was General de Gaulle That was why the world witnessed the strange spectacle of Allied troops landing to liberate Fanee II not a single French soldier In the vanguard Even in regard to de Gaulle there was agreement between the and British military It was only President Roosevelt hn did not igcee The British WPre strong for having de Gaulle ag the 1147W provisional leader of France to set up a gOVernint'llt iminediately behind the invasion army General Eisenhower also favored this plan" So did the War Department At one point Secretary of War Stimson and Acting Secretary of State Stettinlus called on the President and urged that (le Gaulle be recognized as the provisional leader of France Roosevelt however put them off Later when Churchill and Eden wanted de Gaulle to come to Washington the President put his foot down hard He also opposed de Gaulle's going to London plan" cooked up by opponents Of Mr Roosevelt in the big state calls for the elec oral college ton -assert its independenee" just as if that body of nonentities had desires rights life etc and was anything but a decrepit relic The thought is that if

gone in a little for mango culture When A the first buds appeared we carefully raised the sod at the end of each limb dug a hole a foot deep chucked in about a pound of fertilizer filled the hole with water then- when it had drained restored the dirt and sod We repeated this process about six weeks later We used a copper spray on the tree about the time of the first fertilizing and again when the fruit began to assume considerable size That I was told holds off these black spots which appear onsome fungus growth that does Tic) damage to the quality of the fruit but injures Its appearance Wells everything worked Voice of the People Pyle Scores One WAR CORRESPONDENT ERNIE PYLE scored one for the "old front line rifle trooper who lives like an animal" before the Senate Military Committee The senators approved the proposal of Secretary of War Stimson that $10 a month extra pay be provided for the men who finally must win the the infantrymen who conduct themselves well in battle Under the bill infantrymen who earned the "expert infantryman badge" which can be won in training would also receive an extra $5 "Our original motive" Pyle wrote Senator Tobey of New Hampshire "was to give recognition to that poor old guy who lies up there in the mud and cold and rain for weeks at a time never dry never warm eating cold food out of cans dirty unshaven and sleepless and constantly under mortar artillery or rifle fire" Tobey wanted to give a 50 per cent pay increase to all officers and men in "combat areas" Flying personnel already get 50 per cent extra pay In some other branches pay averages higher than in the Infantry The country will agree with General White assistant chief of staff that the War departthent should confine "fight pay" to infantrymen so that they would be recognized as the cream of the Army" It's the man with the rifle and the bayonet that bears the brunt of it Seventy per cent of all casualties In North Africa were Infantrymen although they comprised only 20 per cent of the total personnel in action Pyle has done what nobody up to now has been able to do bring Congress and the country to a recognitioa of the foot soldier Congress would give him little enough with an extra $10 Hop ley Vs Jones Editor The Herald: When Emmet Jones states that England did not give home rule to Ireland he either tells an untruth or does not know the facts As I Rfl not going to try and win mi escritorial discussion with anyone who Nvill not stick to facts I Avill be willing if Emmet Jones can qualify as to age 72 and weight 135 to meet him in any arena public or private no holds barred (except the Dublin nose and ear bite) the entire gate receipts after the loser's injuries have been paid for to go to any charity designated by The Herald A HOPLEY Out of Turn Editor The Herald: The letter signed A castigating Pegler and criticizing his column of June 3 is t3pical of the inability of some people to reason properly or to analyze facts of course Mrs Roosevelt "as a private citizen" has the right to express any opinion she desires under certain conditions But she happens to be the wife of the President and as such apparently rates the privilege of holding a "press conference" which thus puts the stamp of semi-official or official approval on her utterances While I do not always agree with everything Peg ler says in this Instance one must admit that Eleanor spoke out of turn abusing her position as First Lady JAMES SUMNER Jacksonville Fla THERE are three young fellows in my neighborhood about 10 to 12 years old and they've been earning themselves some of my mangoes by climbing up into the tree and retrieving those which are ripe and about to fall In exchange for these services they've been given all the in they waniell Which NV i4 all right too that is until the other evening When 1 came home from work They were distributing mangoes to some of the colored help in the neighborhood and noticed pocketing some cash called them together and asked for an accounting They told me they had gone into business They found two nearby stores which were put4- chasing the larger and finer mangoes for 10 and 15 cents each The colored folk working in the neighborhood were paying 10 cents each for mangoes of similar quality and were buying them in half-dozen lots So they were throwing a few "drops" in with each such sale Their cash on hand was slightly in excess of eight dollars VDR was so adamant that it became a source of some embarrassment Ile has yielded to Churchill on many things as for instance the shipplog of tremendous quantities of supplies to India vhere they are used not for the war but for putting down potent ill Indian revolts However he refused to budge regarding de Gaulle At the Teheran-Cairo conferences Roosevelt found it difficult to work with Churchill on things political such as restoration of Hong Kong to China and other matters affecting the Victorian pomp and circumstances of the British Empire So he decided to play closer to Russia Hence ever since Churchill has been playing closer to de Gaulle Prior to Teheran Churchill made frequent derogatory remarks to the President about de Gaulle But after he watched Russian cooperation at Teheran he obviously decided to build France up as a closer British ally to offset the Russians Therefore the President decided to buck the British at least regarding de Gaulle He has had the Justice Department look up French law and political precedent and finds that following past wars Ilrench cities and provinces formed their own governments and then united with other cities and provinces to establish a central government They 114'e never had a central governor or Prestdeni soch as de Gaulle form an over-all government for them alter a mar So although the Free French are hotting mad and the British are pre dieting political chaos General Eisenhower will follow out this system of local government EDITORS NOTE Jones weighs in at 110 pounds doesn't know he has been challenged which is unimportant anyway since we are not matchmakers and have no pet charity For Humanity pRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S decision to provide an emergency internment shelter near Oswego New York for 1000 refugees from southern Italy Nv 111 meet the approval of every huma nitaria nminded A merica The President revealed that refugees are pouring out of the Balkans into Italy in such numbvs that military operations were being hampered Tfie capacity of camps in the Mediterranean area and in the Middle East are taxed to the limit The President cabled Robert Murphy ranking United States civilian officer in Algiers to give Primary consideration in selecting refugees to those 'for whom other havens of refuge are not immediately available" He also asked that they "include a reasonable proportion of various categories of persecuted peoples" Appropriate security restrictions will govern the Oswego establishment for the duration of the war "It Ls contemplated" the President stated "that at the end of the war the refugees will be returned to their homelands" Thus the United States again demonstrates its generosity and its inherent humane instincts The plan is essentially the proposal of 'free ports" for refugees suggested by Herald Columnist Samuel Grafton on April 5 Mr Roosevelt reportedly did not like the name "free port" The name doesn't matter long as persecuted humanity is served I WAS then I became aware that the supply in my house had been rather skimpy for several days I returned to the young businessmen who had six fine looking mangoes remaining in their basket "May I have those I asked "Itecanset it's your tree for fifty ents they replied after a brief conference You $ee what I mean about this puzzling distribution problem?
