The Senator From Ohio One of the bigger surprises in the proposed GreekTurkish, aid bill is the support that Senator Taft has given it. The Republican Senator who lias been bitten-by the Presidential bug, recently said that he felt that we should aid Greece. It looks to be a move by the Ohioari to jump on the bandwagon. After the support that Senator Vandenberg gave the idea, and after the way the majority 'of the Republicans . approved President Truman's plan, the Senator from Cincinnati joined the crowd. It could be that the way Mr. Taft got his fingers slapped in the Senate approval of David Lil'.enthal for chairman of the atomic energy commission had something to do with it. Mr. Taft, even after he saw that Lilienthal was going to be approved, still stuck to the new isolationism the Ohioan is fostering and refused to vote in the affirmative. Robert A. Taft' is out of step. If he hopes to' be even considered for the presidential nomination in 1948 he had better get back ?n step quickly, and try to convince' people that it "has all been a mistake."

George Bruce Cortelyou was the first secretary of the U. S. Department of Commerce and Labor (1903-04). He was postmaster general of the U. S. in 1905-07, and secretary of the treasury in 1907-09. Gandymede was, in classic myth. a Trojan prince, son of King Tros by the nymph Callirhoe. He was the most beautiful of mortals, and was carried off by the gods to act as cup bearer on Olympus. . A record high of more than 64,000,000 passengers was carried in 1946 by America's trolley coaches, streetcars, and gas buses.
Mr. Truman's Two Years Two years ago last Saturday, Harry S. Truman took over "the world's toughest job." He was appalled at the prospect, making it plain that he did not wish to be president. Nevertheless, he accepted the responsibility of continuing the Roosevelt policies. Few major changes were made in hs first year. As late as last summer, in the controversy with Congress over- extension of OPA, the voice from the White House was that of a Mr. Roosevelt follower. The 1946 campaign, however, precipitated a sharp break with the past. The administration threw most controls out the window before the new Republican Congress had a chance to act. Even before the election, Mr. Truman was swinging rapvdly toward the right. Some observers said he was simply "being himself" at last. Others attributed the shift to evidence that the prestige of the administration and the Demo
cratic party had fallen to the lowest level since 1932. The change has been as marked in advisers as in policies. Today there ;,s only one holdover from the Roosevelt cabinet Secretary ojj the Nav.yyFohestal. Nine of 'the 10 cabinet pestsavnatirfwo' yea. twice in IKe case of the State and Treasury 'Departments. 1 Mr. Truman deliberately dropped five Ro.osevelt aidesSecretaries Stettinius. Wallace, Morgenthiu " and Wickard
and Attorney General Biddle. Other departures pleased him. Secretary Ickes was uiihapny wide1 president, while Postmaster General Walker and Perkins had been tied to Mr. Rocsevelt bv close
friendship; Only -Secretary Stimson, who had said he would
retiie after the war ended, rep'esents a case unrelated to the
ciiange in executives. -
Although seven! newcomers h:'d held high ocsta in -the Roosevelt administration, nc mai'or New Deal spokesman is
left in the Truman cabinet, and some placements Secre
tary of State Marshall excerited are not hihlv r ?ted. Yet t '. cabinet today strongly influences presidential decisions
whereas at first Mr. Truman tended to announce policies to advisers rather than seek their opinions.
The president's striking ccmeback in popularity has been
cited so ctten that major factors need no more than ment;.in They include his "crackdown" on John L. Lewis: his "middle-
of-the-rosd" program, and failure of the Republicans to ful-
lju -campaign premises cr exercise impressive leadership m national affairs. IIi present course may remain popular if prosperity can be maintained. Surnrisinjrk. for one with a
midcontinent background, his foreign policy has been more liositive and determined than his attitude on manv domestr
issues.
The third year will present a new variety of problems Approach cf the 19 18' elections will sharpen domestic contro
versies. Barring some emergency, foreign issues may be overshadowed. Mr. Truman's ability to meet such new tests cannot well be forecast. But it is obvious that he faces the
new year with a confidence not felt in the past.

BROADjAY. NIGHTS IMtrlbuted by King Featured Inc.
Since the day it'vvas written" by Lewis Carroll who was really rh.3 Rev. C. E. Hodgson, 'Alice in Wonderland" has remained a constant reminder of the madness that disguises as reason and the fantastic which seems to make sense to far too many people. For here is the birthplace of immortal do'ubletaik! And in a world which seems to got "curiouser and curiouser," the possibility of seeing things backwards or' translating- Jaberwocky into routine English often comes uncomfortably close to present reality than to the travesty which was intended. Having spent some time studying' recent Congressional discussions of such matters as tax reduction, Lilienthal, budget cutting, price control and strike legislation, not only did we feel quite at home beyond the "looking glass" but it seemed to us ihat Alice had returned to the theatre at what appears to be an inspired moment. In fact, it might not be out of order to hold special matinees for certain members of the United Nations Council as well as some of the boys in both Houses of Congress. But whereas the complexities of the world we nve in breed confusion, in Alice's land the confusion breeds enchantment. And most enchanting is the revival, after 15 years, by the American Repertory Theatre.' Here is truly a little masterpiece, and as such it was immediately hailed by Broadway's critics. Fantasy iad already become something of a tend in the showshops, as instanced by the amazing success of "Finian's Rainbow" and "Britadoon." It will be Wondeilandish indeed, then, if Alice happens to prove a comeback springboard for Eva LeGallienne's gallant troupers who ; have valiantly struggled through a tough Winter trying to revive "Henry VIII," Ibsen and even "Yellow Jack." From these efforts they have energed in the same red as, say,
the Chess Queen of "Through the Looking Glass." 1 But this particular presentation is made of such magical materials that it may be set for a considerable run. There's magic, for instance, in Bambi Linn's portrayal of Alice. Not so long ago, Miss Linn was dancing in "Car ousel" and now, looking as though she had stepped out of the original Tenniel drawing, she gives promise of being one of .the season's major discoveries.
Ye;t much of the spell she casts.

BAMBI LINN would be broken were it not tor the genius of Remo Bufano, internationally famed for his marionettes. Mr. Bufano is responsible for the masks and for lifesized manikins representing ths Walrus and the Carpenter. They belong as definitely to the NeverNever land as did "Peter Pan'' and are some of the most imaginative creations to be seen in the showshops. This' "Alice" is for grandpa as well as Junior. And while on the subject of topsy-turvy goings on, nothing has proved more surprising to the Main Stem than an im porta- ' tion from the land of the Soviets titled, "The Whole World Over." It was written by the -,ame Kanstantine Simon ov who wrote "Days and Nights," and there's not an ounce of propaganda in a (jarload. Or maybe there is. For while an American onus titled "Tenting Tonight" turns on flie familiar "gripes" in considering the veteran's housing problem, M. Simonov has a merry little travesty on the crowded conditions in Moscow. It is the thesis of M. Simonov that "the whole world over" ordinary humans are beset by perplexing post-war problems. That a routine boy-meets-girl comedy should have come out of the USSR may have some "f r i e nd - winning" propaganda purpose known 'to your reporter. M. Simouov's work is not likely to greatly add to the cultural stature of Soviet writers, but thanks to some Grade A performances it is . a warm and friendly piece about a soldier who comes back with his buddies to s find his one-time apartment already overrun with tenants.

Bayan launched his attack . .'.
MARYAM, in her tattered clothes, was careful to keep her face well hidden as she traveled with Walter and Tristram in the caravan to Cathay. For many days they pressed on and then Walter got a sudden "summons to the luxurious tent of Bayan. - The warrior chief greeted him1, pleasantly and for some time talked of his plans to join with Ghengis Khan for the conquest of China. "The Sung Emperor thinks if they put hideous masks on their soldiers, it will scare off their enemies," Bayan laughed. "They will die of fright themselves when the Yakka Mongols ride to Kinsai!" . Then he clapped his hands and a servant set up the chess table. Bayan launched an immediate' attack and Walter was hard put to contrive a defense. He fought stubbornly, and though he lost all three games, Bayan seemed satisfied
Walter had noticed a strange covered cart ... with the competition. "We will play again," Bayan said. Walter returned to his own tent in a happy frame of mind. "It would seem," he said to himself, "that things are shaping themselves in the right direction after all." In the days that followed, Walter busied himself with learning more of the mysterious wonders of the east. Friar Bacon had told him of things for. which to watch things of which England had received only the slightest hints. Friar Bacon had lectured on these wonders at Oxford. He told of a strange powder which exploded with great . force and of a needle which pointed always in the same direction. As a result, he had been denounced as a dabbler in black magic Walter had noticed in the caravan a strange covered cart. Atop it was a wooden figure whose arms always pointed
"Ting-nan-ching," said the needle custodian. south and it was this guide which carried them across the trackless wastes. Now Walter paid the custodian of the cart a fee and was allowed to climb inside. There he saw a white dish filled with water on which, floated a needle about six inches long. The dish was crossed with two straight lines, "TtTif-nan-citTt;," said the custodian, giving the Chinese name for a magnetized needle. Walter saw that a handle above the needle was set to coincide with it. "That is the way he changes the hand' above," he thought. "I must learn all the details so that Friar Bacon can make compasses for use on British ships." He felt that already he had acquired important knowledge. But would he ever return with it to England? Cathay was still far off and many dangers lurked along the trail .., (Continued '
