He didn’t say too much about the heat.”

THE 6000 sq. ft. of display space was packed with merchandise. There were no crowds. The aisles were wide and passable. What a place to do a bit of Christmas shopping.

WHOLESALE CHRISTMAS—You might not have given the Yuletide season much thought but the wholesale boys have. Santa’ Claus is riding high already as far as Charles Johnson is concerned.

Melting Men

~ By Ed Sovola

“We only sell in wholesale lots,” I was told. “Thank you. I'll just look around.” Naturally I headed for the toy section. Mr. Johnson said he had no objection if I tested the sample items. : It's probably safe to say this will be a musical; Christmas. And a noisy one. The toy drums with all the attachments will be plentiful. Toy pianos will be coming through in quantity, too. I played 1 drum solo for Mr. Johnson. He| gave me a look as if he was sorry he gave me the go sign with his merchandise. : “This is much better than department store toy departments,” I said. “After a thing like that I'd have all the floorwalkers in a store on my neck. This is swell.” i “I'm glad you like it,” said Mr. Johnson slowly and trying to get me to go over where he had baby dolls. Not so fast, Jack. Xylophones always

appealed to me. They make such fine noise. {

“Hey, look at those trucks!” Mr. Johnson practically pulled me te the counter where all types of trucks were featured.

He placed a large semi-trailer truck on the floor,

and began to put mileage on it. Mr. Johnson may know the wholesale selling game but he doesn’t know how to run toy trucks. You never play with a truck or an automobile without sound effects, After a couple of times around the counter with my 12-cylinder motor running full blast, Mr. Johnson began to try to catch my eye with a musical juke-box bank. “Look—plays a tune every time a youngster puts a coin into the bank.” The only reason I left the truck department was that it was too hot to keep a motor running for any length of time. The musical bank had its good points. > “What tune does it play when a child goes after it with a hammer?” ;

Clever New Doll Models

PERSPIRING, Mr. Johnson didn't know. He demonstrated a machine gun. I'm glad it shot only sparks. There was something about the way he handled the thing that made me uncomfortable. : Dolls. This year the dolls do everything but breathe. No kidding. Clever, these Americans. - I made the rounds of games, books, pottery, glassware, dinnerware, stationery, gift dressings and housewares. I'm going to do my Christmas shopping arly and that’s for sure. Say, Christmas lights will be scarce again this year. The trinkets and decorations, however, wiil be plentiful. ¢ Mr. Johnson gave a “dry” demonstration of several cocktail shakers. That just about floored me. An ice cold toddy would have been just the thing. . “You seem to have enough Christmas spirit,” added Mr. Johnson. “How about a drink of cold water.” Happy Yuletide was over.

NEW YORK, July 20—It occurred to me last week in Philadelphia, as the sweat rolled in holjow breakers down my legs, that the American male is approximately as silly as the dodo. And like that benighted bird, he, too, will become extinct—done in by the glass of fashion and the mold of form. He will melt and merge with the asphalt, to be mourned by a band of women dressed simply in gossamer sunback dresses, and a pair of abbreviated pants. In the mountains, on the beach and in the country, the American man cavorts in a brief bellyband, exposing more. meat, if possible, than his fair consort. But loose this silly citizen on a city street, and he will assay the following articles of pore-smoth-ering clothing: Shirt. Tight collar. Constricting necktie. Pants. Bocks. Garters. Suspenders. Drawers. Undershirt. Coat. . Why? When in the tropics you dress for the tropics, and if New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Dayton, Cincinnati and the rest aren’t tropic cities in July and August, then it is cool 365 days a year on the Persian Gulf. The better eating houses, hotels, bars and other public conveniences have always conspired to sell the suspicion that a necktieless man—even in a 98-degree heat wave—is a seedy bum. They have you believe he is unfit to be fed or watered in the presence of ladies and gentlemen. They will hand the rush to a fellow who is attired comfortably in an open-necked sports shirt —even if he is an oasis of coolness and as handsome as Tyrone Power. .

They'll Feed Partly Nude Woman BUT THEY will feed a fat man in a wilted collar, his chins cascading perspiration onto his twisted tie, which has become jammed in the knot and is busy leaking smudgy rainbows all over his shirt front. Nothing is more horrid to the eye than a sweatcharacter in a coat and tie, his breakfast beer oozing through his undershirt, shirt and suit-coat, face a shiny purple, and his hair sweat-plas-tered to his skull. Yet he can get in where the comfortably tieless taxpayer can't—and so can a dame who is

There seems to be something heinous about a shirt that is not moored at the Adam’s apple by a length of expensive cloth—which is functional only for hanging yourself from a light fixture.

BUT THE maitre d’ wouldn't seat me until he had reached into the cloakroom and produced a shoddy brown coat of the type worn by unsuccessful waiters. That, and a tie.

bushel. But it won't drop any more because that's the price the government has promised to pay. How many millions of dollars worth of corn the federal grain buyers must take in order to hold up the cost, they shudder to thimk. The same thing goes for wheat. It’s in big supply— piled up in the streets in ‘some western towns— and it looks like the government’ll have to buy.

I's a Vicious Circle SO THE price of meat and milk and bread stays up, unless Congress changes the law (which is unlikely), or the slide-rule boys figure that “parity” has gone down. This “parity” business is a complicated deal, which means in effect that if the cost of tractors goes up, so does the price of the food they harvest. All this sounds as though I'm denouncing the farmers, who persuaded Congress to pass the law and Mr. Truman to sign it. I'm not. Farmers’ costs are up as high, if not higher relatively, than the price of their corn and potatoes. 3 | This is what the philosophers call a vicious circle. Somewhere it's got to break. When it does somebody is going to suffer, though I doubt

for customers of city grocers. So along comes a federal official —I don’t think I'll dignify him by naming him—who says the only way to bring down prices of costly food is not to eat it. Nuts. ’ , * And I don't ask you to pardon the expression. Not eating potatoes won't bring down their prices. It'll just cause the government to buy more (with our money) so it can pour coal oil on ‘em. Later this season I'll check on how much the federals had to spend on kerosene to make surplus potatoes unfit to eat. I'm off of hot pastrami sandwiches in the/meantime. ‘But what really makes me sore is that I don’t know who, if anybody, deserves a punch in the nose.

Here's What Happened in Bunker, As the Allies Stormed Berlin

Is Hitler alive or dead? To get a conclusive answer to this { question, Navy Captain and Judge Michael A. Musmanno, a member of the International War Crimes Trials, made an extensive investigation during his three years in Germany. He tells exactly what happened to Hitler in a series of agticles. This is the second.

By CAPT. MICHAEL A. MUSMANNO, USNR, Judge, ‘International War Crimes Trials, Nuernberg. (Copyright, 1948, by Pittsburgh Press Co.) Adolf Hitler's power over his followers verged on the thypnotic.

On April 25 the American and Soviet ground forces met on the Mulde. As if by the blade of a sword, rmany was now split in two. On April 26, Wenck, by dint of {brute determination, and reckless of heavy losses, drove to within eight miles of Potsdam. . Here he was hurled back to the Elbe where -he disintegrated before the Americans. ” » .

THIS FLURRY of activity on the part of Hitler's battered legions kindled a spark of hope among the ashes of his universal defeat. But the spark faded quick ly in the news of Wenck's disaster. I asked von Loringhoven what they had expected to gain even if Wenck had reached Berlin and the Reich Chancellery. The war was lost anyway, wasn't it? He replied: “Yes, certainly it was.” But, he explained, Hitler's generals in the bunker were so-abso-lutely under his infiuence that

Goebbels further vowed that, in demonstration of his eternal allegiance, he would, upon Hitler's death, put these six children on the block. Fraulein Goebbels also plignted her faith to die with the Fuehrer. At first she opposed her husband in the suicide program which included the murder of ‘their offspring. But the “influence,” of which Major Loringhoven spoke, finally enwrapped her in its bewitchment, and, amid a paroxysm of tears, she agreed to the fiendish proposal. ” »

By marrying Gretl Braun, sister of Eva Braun, he has become exofficio kin to the Fuehrer.

A search ordered by Hitler uncovered him in his private residence in Berlin wearing civilian clothes.

IN THE early part of April Goebbels was reading to Hitler that phase of Frederick's life which had to do with Frederick's sudden change of fortune from bad to good because of the death of the Russian czarina. Hitler's fortunes were at ebb tide on April 12 when suddenly came the news of Roosevelt's death. This meant to Hitler that the miracle of the czarina’s death had been repeated in Roosevelt's death, + Gen. Erhard Engel, who was with Hitler when Roosevelt's death was announced, related the scene to me. He said that Hitler went into an orgy of ecstasy. Red spots appeared on his face, his cheek muscles moved up and down “like the mouth of a fish.” He proclaimed to Engel:
