NEW YORK, July 21—The brother Elks have

that we'll have to give them 100 per cent in deportment. ; There have been no reports of their throwing water out hotel windows as other conventioneers sometimes do.

NEW YORK, July 21—From watching baseball recently, and from some aspects ‘of ‘the Republican conclave in Chicago a couple weeks back, we must arrive at the conclusion that the great god television is eventually going to make ladies and gentlemen of us all. If you will regard the screen closely today on a ball game, you will observe that none of the players scratch indelicately, make rude gestures, or eyen mouth profanity so that the lips move in an identifiable fashion; The players perform with one eye on the averages f and the other on that staring orb that fetches their muscles = to the millions. They do not play to the gallery any more: they play to the eye. EJ ~ - > g IN CHICAGO at the GOP bloodletting you noticed a lot more coats-and-ties, where once the sweaty neck breathed free of encirclement. I saw a lot less drunks, and a sort of awkward selfconscious of who knows, maybe in a minute everybody will be looking at ‘me, Joe Blow. And everybody wears blue totlay, because blue doesn’t blur.

couldn't get in because ‘he wasn’t Catholic, he went to another lodge, said he was a Catholic,

and was barred because he wasn't a Protestant. -

It is a fish-bowl existence beyond the early vision of man. 1 see only one way out, if TV is here to stay. Everybody must be rehearsed, at all times, to look nis best, keep his best profile jn the general direction of the camera, drink mildly, swear not, scratch not, cease chewing tobacco, remain aloof from evil companionship, and dwell constantly on truth. <> LB GONE IS THE ancient American tradition of grandma’s death, to get you out to the ball game, because the boss is watching the Yankees on the office set, and if he spots you—bang—you're dead. I suppose the only other antidote is to buy a disguise, preferably molded after the features of your worst enemy, and then, wow, you can dress sloppy and cut up and perform all sorts of interesting breaches of ethics in complete safety. It is undoubtedly archaic of me, but I kind of yearn for the dear days when a fellow could get lost in a crowd, as the saying had it, instead of becoming an unpaid performer in the vast soap opera of today’s televised confusion.

20 per cent of the prisoners died en route. “I was ill and T had lost all hope. Then something happened like an intervention by God.

This estimate is conservative As of May, 1951, Czech exiles in Europe and the U. 8. had Identified 42 slave-labor camps, with about 200,000 occupants in their native land.

It is conceivable that Red slaves in captive Europe may total two or three million persons by 1954, ' The Stalinists are already using these countries as a new slave-labor pool for Russia itself.
