Conspicuous to contrast is Hugh

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.

"Showmanship is all right in its

picture, dangerously. I think. Just
take a turn around the New York

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.”

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

We’re in for a much tougher job
of trimming, thinks Mr. Eliot—if
there is to be any tidy and nicely

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.

/^RAND for January sewing
right now, and good to repeat
again this summer is the princess
frock for little girls offered in Pat
tern No. 1516-B. The same pat

As all mothers know, little girls
look their very best in a princess
frock, the silhouette of which is
flattering to chubby and slim fig

too! The neckline here is cut
square, the sleeves are short and
puffed. The frock will be ador
able in a gay flower printed or
plain color cotton trimmed with
perky ric-rac and a set of match
ing buttons.
Another garment you’ll rush to
complete for your little daughter’s
midwinter wardrobe are the over
alls—cunning and practical too.

He blushed, stammered, stopped,

Once more he was covered with

Then he gathered his courage in

“And for three days and three
