MRS. KATHERINE KELLY of the weather bureau staff thinks something nice should be said on behalf of the blind newsies around town. She ‘finds their courtesy refreshing after being rebuffed and snubbed by some clerks who have vision—but not the far-

. sighted variety.

“But when you buy a paper from one of the blind newsies,” she says, ‘you usually get.a cheery ‘thank: you’ for your nickel.” She’s right. But not all the pleasant ones are blind. . .. Some gentle joshing was going on at the fire preven-

F tion luncheon the other day. Brig.

Gen. Elmer W. (Doc) Sherwood, the state adjutant general, Kkidded Governor Gates by relating how he had been introduced at a recent meeting as “Governor

Goodrich.” The governor was equal to the occasion. “While ‘we're telling tales,” he said, “how about that meeting whese you were introduced as ‘Doc Sherwood, the state adjective general?” ” That ended that. . The city collection department's difficulties in getting around to all the trash left ir® some neighhorhoods ever since the not-so-recent strike is pretty annoying to householders. But, paraphrasing the old “One man's poison is another man’s meat.” Anyone with’ a wagon or truck can get just about his own price from householders who have given up hope that the city trucks ever will get around to them. One hauler was coining money yesterday charging householders $2.50 each to haul away trash. Among those still complaining about the junk situation, are folks living in the area between 3700 and 4800 east—and maybe farther—between New York and Michigan. Wish I had a truck!

william Roby, Zionsville,

Ind., was air liaison officer for the 65th division. The war ended, There was no more air liaison, Suddenly, from prison camps, factories, farms—

seemingly from out of the ground—came hundreds of -

thousands of displaced persons. They had been handled with ruthless roughness, during their three or four years as prisoners, ali vestiges of propriety whipped out of their souls. They had hated, brooded, planned. Then they were free— The avalanche swept over the countryside. They had to move on. They had no money, food or scruples. Perhaps in all of history there has not been such an unorganized army of irresponsible

humans on the loose. Unlike the organized looting of armies, and the systematic thoroughness with which the Nazis robbed for years, these DP’s (displaced persons) robbed and destroyed and even murdered with fierce recklessness. The 65th combat division was not trained tor army occupation work. But our weak little military government teams were as chaff in an ocean.

news and propaganda agency. The average American doesn't understand what it means. to live in the grip of a government with unlimited power to shape and formulate the beliefs and thinking of the people. Possibly only a few in a -hundred can trace the history of “freédom of speech” in America and explain the meaning of its part in American life. But, instinctively, every American knows that without a free press he would

be headed straight for serfdom. This is our greatest blessing, the essence of all and accepting it a% a heritage, we seldom pause to estimate what happens to those who

My Day

HYDE PARK, Wednesday. —I want to speak of two things today which especially impressed me at the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union vacation camp. It seemed to me worthy of comment that the bond drive rally was started by calling for

contributions from individuals. As I sat there and saw young women and young men, fathers of families, older men and women, all get up one, after the other and pledged to buy anything from a $100 -bond up to a $1000 bond, I “could not ‘help thinking, “thank God for the United States.” The people of the United States who work with their hands, are new making enough to save and, at the same time, to help their country and their fighting men.

These fellows can look, but they can’t speak now. Just as soon as American airpower shows up the gagged press and radio, the, Japanese people will begin lopping off Samurai heads.

The paper said that it learned the sponsoring senators “relied largely on the advice of a former labor lawyer, and of ‘labor relations experts, whatever that may mean.” The “former labor lawyer” apparently was Donald R.
