Seemingly about the most hazardous occupation in the world these days is that of diplomacy international relations. The casualty list recently has been shocking. '..Secretary of State George C. Marshall has recently been dismissed from the hospital and is slowly recovering- from a serious operation. ' Former Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles suffered a heart attack and lay out in a field on his estate in below freezing weather all last Saturday night. He is in serious condition. i United .Nations Delegate Warren Austin of Vermont is in the hospital. His return to duty is doubtful. t Laurence Duggan, one of the best informed men in the nation on Latin American affairs, a young and valuable former State Department executive, is dead from a 16-story fall from his New York apartment. Immediately before his death he had been "mentioned" by the House Un-American Activities Committee in connection with Whittaker Chambers' exposes. ' It is more than coincidence that these diplomats and others currently cr recently in the news should simultaneously be involved in trouble of one sort or another. The elder Von Clausevitz, the great German general, is credited with the saying that "War is but an extension of diplomacy." Conversely, diplomacy especially as it is practiced nowadays is a sort of peacetime war. At the moment the popular term is "cold" war. ' . Well, it's cold only in the sense that there isn't any shooting going on no hot shells and bombs are flying around." It's not cold to those who participate in it. Knowing that the slightest slip on their part may result in the cold war changing into a shooting war, they suffer a nervous strain which is equally as great as that of any general confronted with a decisive battle' . ' And that has been going on now since about 1937 say since Franklin D. Roosevelt's famous "Quarantine" speech in Chicago in which he condemned all aggressor nations. The wonder is that there haven't been move casualties among our diplomats than have resulted.

A Newly Discovered f ole of an Old - Fashioned . New Year's, by America's Mostbeloved Short Slory Writer: By DAMON RUNYON NEW YEAR'S DAY is always' a great day back in my old home town out West. C On this day everybody swears off doing something or other, generally drinking, which is very easy for most, people to swear off on New Year's Day, because generally they feel so toughfrom welcoming in the New Year that they never wish to see another drink again as long as they live, or anyway until they feel better. No town in all America is gladder to see a New Year than my old home town out West, and everybody in town sits up to give it a welcome. When the clock strikes twelve, one and all shake hands with whoever is around, and says Happy New Year whether they mean it or not. But if any stranger happens, to be in my old home town on New Year's Eve he wilt be surprised at the quiet. In other towns at midnight you hear whistles blowing, and bells ringf-ing-and guns going off, Dut back in my old tome town you never hear a sound except maybe people talking-. There is a reason for all this quiet on New Year's Eve back in my old home town which is; noisy enough on other nights, and the reason is a law that goes back long before I am born, which makes it a very serious offense to raise any disturbance of any kind on New Year's Eve. ; My Grandpap tells me . the ' story one day when I come back from a visit to Denver, where they raise the dickens as the New Year comes in, and I am complaining that our town is behind the times. "Son," my Grandpap says, "this town has all that bell ringspent Christmas with Mrs. J. Gaskins and other relatives.

"In fact," my Grandpap says, "it was the shooting part of it the first time we ever welcome in a New Year in these parts, which is the main reason why we never have any more shooting, or other noises, like bells ringing. "Of course," he says, "times are changed a lot since those days, and the chances are we can go ahead and have all the noise we can make, including shooting, but nobody ever thinks to change the law and maybe she is better the way she lays.Maybe so.

"This town is not rnuch town when we welcome in 'our first New Year," my Grandpap says, "and nobody is even thinking of a New Year being on tap, or of giving it a welcome, when the matter is brought before some of "us in the Last Chance saloon the day before by a character by the name of Digger Pete. "This Digger .is a party of not much account, but he is somewhat sentimental about such propositions as New Year's so he says to us like this: " 'Gentlemen,.' Digger Pete says, 'the glad New Year is upon us, and it is up to us to welcome her in. It is up to us,' Digger Pete says, 'to sit up all night tonight and make plenty of noise and maybe drink a toast to this

New Year. "Well, nobody sees any objection to this," my Grandpap says, "because we will all be sitting up all night anyway and drinking, although Joe McGurk has a long argument with Digger Pete about it being New Year's, Joe claiming New Year's always has more snow on the ground. "But Digger Pete shows everybody where it is just so many days since Sam Hall gets the Christmas card from back East, and how it must be New Year's, so everybody is satisfied, especially as everybody feels that it is a good thing to have an extra excuse for sitting up all night and drinking toasts.

13 B in this town. We sit up in the Last Chance part of the night, and we sit up in the old Tub o' Blood part of the night, and promptly at twelve o'clock by Sam Hall's watch we go boiling out into the street with cowbells and six shooters And start whooping things up. "We certainly make enough noise to satisfy anybody who likes to see the New Year get a nice welcome, even Digger Pete, although poor old Digger Pete never hears it, because by the time this comes off he is sound asleep behind the Last Chance bar from drinking too many toasts, "But what happens?" my Grandpap asks. "Well, sir, when the noise dies out, and people start looking around, there are three dead Mexicans in different places, and four citizens badly wounded. Furthermore, there are two bullet holes through my Stetson hat, which do not look accidental. "Well, now," my Grandpap says, "there is not a citizen in this town in those days who cannot hit a silver dollar at fifty yards with a six-shooter, drunk or sober, so it is not in nature that there can be so much careless shooting as all this. ' "So the next day some of us get together and pass the law that still stands in this .town that there can be no shooting or other disturbance whatever on New Year's Eve, because when scalawags try to take advantage of a celebration to settle old grudges it is time to quit." "But," I ask my Grandpap, "what does the blowing of whistles and ringing of bells have to do with the shooting? Why not stand for them?" "Well, of course, we do not have whistles in those days," my Grandpap says, "but maybe I forget to state that some rascal, with no sense of honor, hits Sam Hall on the head with a cowbell and almost knocks Sam's brains plumb out."
