Youths of Destiny

By Andrew Tully

WINSTON CHURCHILL, Btatesman-laureate of Great Britain, is the only one of today’s world figures who was im the public eye when the present century began in 1900. Even then—when he was only 26 years old— it was hard for anybody to ignore him. As a war correspondent, he¢ had just made a sensational escape from the Boers in Africa and when not accepting public acclaim was busy working on a novel about the Boer war, “Ian Hamilton's War." In contrast to young Churchill’s flamboyant adventures, a young high school boy in Independence, Mo., was leading a serene and rather Things weren't going too well for the Trumans and 16-year-old Harry had to take a part-time job in a drugstore.

‘Helpful and Scholarly

NEIGHBORS SAID it was typical of Harry to want to help out. - He was a shy and rather quiet boy, who had worn glasses since he was 8 ‘and was sald to have read every book in thé town “1ibrary. He also was one of thé Tew boys In town who took musi¢ lessons. - Yet, for ali his placidity, his ambition was to go to West Point. In England’s Buckingham Palace, most of the attention in the nursery was given to Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Partick David, Prince of Wales, a precocious, curly headed moppet of 6. After all, some day he would be king. His younger brother, Prince Albert, 5, caused his parents a different kind of concern by a pronounced - stutter. He didn’t completely overcome this handicap until 1936 when he ascended to the" British throne as King George VI upon abdication of his elder brother, King Edward VIII. Just about this time, there was serious trouble In Tiflis, principal city of the Russian provinée of Twenty-year-old Yosef Dzugashvili, a

former student in the Tiflis Seminary, was leading a mass strike of Socialists. For this Dzugashvili was forced to go underground, but he continued his revolutionary activities and was imprisoned six times, escaping five.

Welcome Home

By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2—Fresh snuff is in the Senators’ private boxes. Black. sand in small silver-topped bottles is on their desks for them to use, as did G. Washington, for blotting paper. There's a new white marble statue of Henry Wallace by the front door, golden brocade on the walls, and an air around the ancient halls of excitement. The big show's about to begin. The. second session of the 81st Congress is upon us. I can hardly wait for the boys to start tossing insults and possibly articles more damaging still. If the dopesters are correct, this session is going to be one big fight, surrounder by numerous mediumsized battles. There'll be no small frays in 1950. The Republican gentlemen promise to go after President Truman's budget (a volume which will weigh better than six pounds) with a meat ax. The Democrats will defend it with their political lives. Some of both camps, interested in the female vote, want to slash the tax on fur coats. There'll be war about this, and almost immediately.

DEEP FREEZES we're likely to hear more about and Gen. Harry Vaughan. The lobbyists, gome of whom are my best friends, are going to be investigated. The Communists have some more bad moments coming. So do the steel-makers. The cost of eating is in for some exhaustive inquiry; so are the chemiefils that go into bread. There'll B&'a Grade “A” rhubarb about bleomargarine...
