Harik Gcwdy, die ball player, walked into a recruiting station and asked “How No Big Name War, fMS Tet Celebrity Intist*, into this here Upon Joining Up *ar' let him in, right on die ground floor, as a pri vate. and that was all there was to it Eddie Grant of the Giants also walked in, fust like that—and go* killed at the Argcmne, There's a plaque in his honor on the center field fence at die Polo Grounds this to beginning to took like a name war, as they might say aw Broadway. Without dispar agement to the enlisting celebri ties af the theater, sports, and politics one may note that many af them, innocently, no doabt, march la a fanfare af headlines and outbreaks af chev rons to rotogTavnre pictures. Conspicuous to contrast is Hugh Makahy. farmer Philadelphia pitcher, moving in with no chev rons and no hands. This started out to be a piece about an actor of such eminence that we thought word of his enlistment as a private would make a story. When we telephoned him the other morn ing. he said: "I won't talk and I don’t want you to use my name.” That sounded like big news, the same being "anything new. strange or unexpected.” We can’t use his name, but he was persuaded to talk and here’s his story: The minute I made a move to enlist, my press agent was on hand to shape up a story. I couldn't get it through his head that that wasn't the big idea. This war is grim, des perate. dirty business and it isn’t going to be won by hoofers, box fighters. actors, swing-band leaders, ball players or tennis players who happen to have top-billing in their particular lines. "They’D help win it. and more power to them, bat when they get their usual professional bniM up. everything gets out of plnmb. The big mob is going to get the idea that their favor ite supermen will fix everything nicely at the end. That’s one trouble with this country.

Just take a turn around the New York night spots if you want to get what 1 mean. The way they rate the boys by their rank, and the way the gossip columnists work, you’d think this war was being readied by Flo Ziegfeld. “I am enlisting as a private and I expect to be overseas in a combat unit I am dropping my stage name and using my own, so 1 expect to be something less than anonymous for a long time to come. If any body fans up a story about me, it will be over my dead body. I’m no hero. I just want to help win this war.” A DISTINGUISHED landscape ** architect visions the post-war landscape and sees a jungle that will take a lot of landscaping if we hope to We'll Co Forward, u^ric.w' Though Not Back Eliot, grand To Normalcy-Eliot son of *** fa mous presi dent of Harvard, director of the Na tional Resources Planning board at Washington. Mr. Eliot says we are not ''going back to normalcy" and that the chaos following the Axis downfall may be "almost Indistinguishable from war.” He insist*, however, that we will keep on "going forward.” and that we "propose to plan ahead.” He began the practice of his pro fession at Boston, after his gradua tion from Harvard in 1930 From 1924 through 1926. he was city plan ner for Arlington. Mass. From 1926 to 1930, he was director of plan ning for Washington. D. C . and its environs, as a member of the Na tional Park and Planning commis sion. He has been a member of the National Resources board since 1935. Mr. Eliot has extended his plan ning to the wider outreach of social and economic design. As an ob server at the League of Nations crisis in 1928, he would perhaps now admit he was standing at a false dawn when he insisted the league was putting recalcitrants in place. The British Tommy in Kip Hag s poem did a lot of grouch ing about "trimmin’ the colo nel's hedges” after a war. We’re in for a much tougher job of trimming, thinks Mr. Eliot—if there is to be any tidy and nicely spaced world after this war. . NATIONAL AFFAIRS Rtviewtd by CARTER FIELD V. S. A.E.F.Js Free Mail Raises Question Of Abolishing Congres sional Frank... Enemy Nations' *Secret IT cap ons' a Nightmare . . . (Be51 Syndicate—WKU Service.) WASHINGTON — What with all this talk about saving paper, de creasing non-defense spending, etc., this should be a good time for con gress to consider cutting down the almost unlimited use of the franking privilege for mail. An amusing sidelight on the atti tude of individual congressmen to ward this question of saving post age is given in the vote to grant soldiers oversea* the right to send mail borne free The congressmen really thought they were giving the soldiers something! They were—an estimated average of six cents a week! This is based on the idea that the average soldier and sailor will not write more than two toners home a week—one to his parents and one to his girL The average stated is pure ly an estimate. There are no avail able figures, but parents of soldiers or sailors to whom, the writer has talked say they would be tickled pink if the boys would average one letter a month to them. However, they all said, it was not to save postage that the boys re frained from writing as often as the old folks would like. The soldiers and sailors, for the most part, are kept pretty active. They are apt to be tired in their brief hours of relaxation and not in clined to tackle what, to most of them, is a laborious duty. A point in favor of the newest sub sidy to the soldiers, which seems rather sound, is made by a person who is not a congressman. There may be, this gentleman pointed out, difficulty in obtaining stamps at va rious places to which the soldiers may be assigned. So the fact that the boys do not have to scurry around to obtain stamps might be much more important than saving a maximum of six cents a week. Apparently the best reason for granting this mail subsidy—if we can assume this difficulty of obtain ing stamps in the field to be the best reason—did not occur to ANY member of the house or senate while the bill was under consideration. For the bill carefully confines this huge grant to enlisted men. It spe cifically bars the free mail plan to commissioned officers. As the offi cers with the troops would obviously have the same ease or difficulty in obtaining stamps that the enlisted men would encounter, it would seem that the ONLY purpose of the bill was to increase slightly the pay of the enlisted men. Important to Congressmen One must not blame the congress men for this, or think of the gift to our soldiers as trivial, as the law makers view’ed the situation. For to a congressman the franking priv ilege is not trivial—it is tremendous. If deprived of that privilege the average congressman probably would spend more than a thousand dollars a year in postage. But with free postage for anything he chooses to send (congressmen have sent fur niture under the frank) the actual amount of unchecked service he gets from the post office department is of course much higher. In this time of bundles for con gressmen there is no desire to dis courage giving, and certainly no de sire to reach into congressmen s pockets,' but why not put the mail on the same basis as stationery? Congressmen do not get free sta tionery, unless they are chairmen of committees They get an allowance every year to buy rt. Why not abolish the frank and give every congressman and offi cial who is supposed to require it, an allowance for that purpose? Boy, would there be a saving of paper in Washington, not to mention the weight taken off letter carriers' feet! Why Not Use Some German Inventions? Secret weapons have been a night mare to the military commanders of every nation at war—not their own secret weapons, of course, but possible secret weapons developed by one of their enemies. The inventors of America have led the world for many years. Curi ously enough Americans invented most of the weapons which are so important in this war. And Britain comes pretty close to being second. Britain invented the breech-load ing gun. She sent to the Confed erates two breech-loading cannon of about three-inch size which were used at the battle of Gettysburg. If the Confederates had been able to use 100 instead of two. the tre mendous difference in rapidity of fire, accuracy, and range, might have won the war for Robert E. Lee. It would seem about time that the United Nations should be able to use successfully some former Ger man invention! That may be a little too much to hope for, but surely it is about time that we used one of our own inventions in one of our own i wars.
