PICKED CLEAN BY STARVING POLES

Hard to B* Cheerful, Capital Scribe Finds

Radio Programs From War Camp Criticized

Critics Are an

Inspiration

JL*

By HELEN CSSARY

Central Press Columnist

• WASHINGTON—I wish I had a script writer. I wish I were lUte those sizzling radio and Hollywood comedians who, when they

want a phrase, call in a Bright Mind and say:

"Give me something that packs a punch. Something to wow them into the aisles!” I never had a script writer. Nor a ghost writer. Critics have been my general reward and inspiration. But

in }he past dispiriting weeks I have called bosom friends on the phone on writing days and said: “Tell me something cheerful. What do you know that isn't too depressing to talk about?" Today th* bosom friends were deep in sorrow. "How can I think of anything cheerful,” they pro-

tested one after another. “I have a son in Belgium." , . . "Did you see President Roosevelt’s hope that 194S would bring 'a measure of peace?’ ... My husband la on a submarine. He's been re-

ported missing.”

Next I tried s philosopher. Perhaps ht could find hope somewhere. His voice came over the wires, flat and despairing. "I am tick," he explained. "I feel as if I were on a rocking boat on the high seas in the middle of a terrible storm. I’m woozy. I can’t think. I feel weak in th* knee*. I’ve been trying to write a little verse for a particular friend. But how can I write a verse? I get a line and a half done. Then I think of those poor boys in Belgium and way off in Leyte. I can’t go on. Everything I try to do or aay is so utterly hollow and unimportant, compared with the hell of our own sons abroad? Nothing makes sense to me. . . . What would I write if I were you—Juat a minute now—Let me try to think. , . . Why, I'd write that President Roosevelt ought to aboUah Christina# and New Year’s for the duration. He’s abolished everything else. . . The country can’t take too much and stay sane."

• * • •

• I DONT agree with th* unhappy philosopher. I wouldn’t abolish Christmas. Nor the New Year. But I would abolish some of the fletitioug cheer and heroism that builds war up into a glorious adventure. r a u i^I 1 * ® ctltk>u, ch, * r and heroism is war propaganda. And it expiotta the agony of the poor fellows who have to kill or be killed. I’d not permit any war camp to be used as part of a radio profnm to advertise a money-making outfit.
