NOPE, WOODY HERMAN won't give any auditions to local talent when his nationally famous band plays here in behalf of summer opera tomorrow. ...Requests for tryouts before Woody's orchestra have been raining on the park department. So says “Wynne” Arnholter, dance chairman, but Woody won't have time to listen to singers or musicians during his In-

gisnagolis stay. . . . The band will hold a closed ree

Lots of Guns and Little Shooting

SINCE Jan, 1, 493 guns have been registered at the city police crime laboratory, most of them by discharged veterans. ... Registration is voluntary, not compulsory, so it probably represents only a fraction of the total number of weapons hauled back from Europe and the Pacific. . . . Most popular souvenir weapon, according to Lt. Howard Hunter, head of the crime laboratory, is the German P-38, a variation on the Luger... . From the Pacific, local G. Is have toted hundreds of Jap automatic “Nambu” pistols. . . But police believe. (and secretly hope) a gigantic ammunition snafu will hold many of the revolvers out of service. ... The P-38, says Lt. Hunter, will take a Luger cartridge but no other American slug, whilé the “Nambu” carries only its own specialized cartridge, made in Japan. . . .

Facing Facts By Howard Vincent O'Brien

LOS ANGELES, March 14—Well, I'm in. Los Angeles now. But I shall keep on being interested in the desert. The desert is where you see life as it really is—a grim and endless struggle for adaptation and survival. I have an idea that statesmen, economists and newspaper columnists should. be required to spend a few weeks, every year, studying what goes on in the desert. They would then deliver themselves of much less nonsense. When you see life stripped to the buff—a ruthless fight for water—you get a new slant on that overused word, “rights.” : It seems to me that one reason for the present chaos of our society is our reluctance to look existence in the face. We bury reality in a fog of language. We use meaningless words. We talk heatedly about “fair wages” and “a decenf standard of living.” But what is “fair” and “decent?” These are relative words, meaning one thing to you, another to me,

Science

NOW THAT spring is nearly here perhaps the time has come to speak of the birds and the flowers. But if you don't mind, we'll discourse of butterflies instead. It may be that you sometimes have wondered where the butterflies are in the winter. you may have even wondered where the name, butterfly, came from in the first place. Austin H. Clark, the distinguished biologist of the U. 8S. National Museum, has answers for both questions. He points out that the name is very old and that no one knows for certain how it originated. It is generally supposed that the name was first applied to the common brimstone butterfly of Europe. Dr. Clark explains that the ‘brimstone is very common . throughout Europe and very conspicuous as well, The male is a very vivid yellow, while the females are a sort of greenish-white.

Name Passed Around

THE BRIMSTONE is usually found in or near woods because it passes the ‘winter as a butterfly, it makes “its appearance on the very first warm days of spring. The theory is that the name, butterfly, was first applied to the brimstone, and then, with the passage of time, gradually extended to other similar insects whether they were the color of butter or some other color. Dr. Clark points out that numerous legends are associated with this butterfly in Europe, but whether they came after the name or ‘had something to do with the choice of name is hard to determine. According to one superstition, either the brim-

My Day

NEW YORK (Wednesday)—Yesterday ‘I went to Hyde Park to meet Mr. and Mrs. Winston Churchill, their daughter Mrs. Oliver, Ambassador to Britain John G. Winant, and Col. Frank Clarke, all of whom came up for a few hours. Mr. Churchill had told me before he came to this country that he wanted to lay - & wreath on my husband's grave. My son Elliott and his wife and IT met them at the gate of the big place. It was a beautiful day and, though it was still very wintry, I thought that peace and dignity reigned within the tall hedge, even though the garden had no flowers except those which had already been placed on the grave, As Mr. Churchill placed his wreath and then stood there for a long while, I felt sure that he was thinking of the years when he and my husband had worked in such close co-operation to win the war.

stone butterfly itself, or spirits and fairies masquerading in its form, stole butter and milk. In parts of Germany the brimstone is still known as the “molkendieb,” a compound German word meaning “milk-thief.” As already indicated, many butterflies live through the winter, spending the period of cold in hibernation. According to Mr. Clark, they sleep on or in the frozen ground, patiently waiting for the first warm days of spring.

Fly in Late Autumn

AMONG the butterflies in this category are the common mourning-cloak, the painted lady and the angel-wings. These butterflies will be seen flying about late in autumn. With the coming of cold weather, Dr. Clark says, they hide themselves away under stones or logs, in wood piles, hollow. trees, and the like. They stay there, motionless and to all appearances dead, until the coming of spring. However, a warm spell in midwinter will sometimes arouse them and then people are suddenly surprised to see a butterfly in January or February. Other butterflies, however, spend the winter in the form of a‘ chrysalis or pupa from which they emerge in spring. Yet other butterflies go through the winter in the caterpillar stage. 04 A number of the butterflies known as the skippers spend the winter as full-grown caterpillars in loose cocoons among the leaves under the snow, Dr. Clark says. With the coming of spring, the’ caterpillar changes to a chrysalis without leaving the cocoon. Then it emerges a few days later as a butterfly.

WASHINGTON, March 14—A new chapter in the secret history of the war was opened up here today—the story of what really happened at the Quebec conference in 1944. How did Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill come to agree on the “Goat Pasture” policy of trying “to make Germany into a “primarily agricultural and pastoral” country? When and how was this policy given up?

He wanted to avoid such an involvement.

Mr. Churchill, for his part, gave in on the question of de-industrial-ising Germany, and agreed to the Morgenthau or “goat pasture” policy. He even talked Mr. Eden into accepting it, which Mr. Eden was greatly loath to do. A paper was signed declaring that this was the policy of both governments. Two Catches

But there were two catches in the agreement on industrialization. For one thing, Mr. Roosevelt's most _ important advisers, other than Mr. Morgenthau, opposed the “goat pasture” policy. Mr. Churchill and Mr, Eden knew this, They also knew that these other advisers would try to change Mr. Roosevelt's mind.

The long speeches on the mine worker side serve to delay beéginning of actual negotiations between the miners and operators for a new contract. The operators suspect the aim is to reduce the time between now and March 31, when they would have to agree in a hurry or face a strike on April 1. The mine worker leader could keep his orators going indefinitely —increasing the nervousness of the coal operators and other citizens who fear a general coal strike. The one certain thing is that Mr. Lewis is running this particular show.

By RUTH MILLETT PORTRAIT of a woman down to her last pair of stockings, with no hope for another pair in sight: So gently does she handle the precious pair it takes her five minutes to put them on-—a tender ceremony which she leaves until the last thing when getting dressed to go out. No need taking any extra chances on a snag or run. she looks with a skeptical probing eye at the legs of her hostess's bridge table and chairs, searching for rough edges which might spell doom for that precious pair of stockings. She glances down occasionally to resurvey the situation and to reassure herself that no tragedy has yet occurred. . » . SHE FINDS it hard to look pleasant when she hears about a hosiery sale she missed, but which several of her friends happened to get in on. Yet she somehow manages to say sweetly, “How perfectly won= derful!” She is looking forward to summer this year with especial eager ness. For when the weather is warm she'll get her stockings out of a bottle and quit hounding the empty store counters.
