BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., may
have the last laugh yet. Critics demanded that he
be removed as Secretary of State because they
didn’t want a man who had never heen elected
to public office first in line for the Presidency,
should anything happen to President Truman.
They .got their wish. Stettinius was therefore
“kicked upstairs” to the job of head man for the
U. S. delegation to the United Nations Organiza
tion. As such, Stettinius stands a good chance of
becoming president of either the UNO Security
Council or president of the General Assembly.
The irony of that development would be that a
man who was nqver elected to any public office
and wasn’t considered good enough to be President
of the United States might still be considered able
enough to head the United Nations organization
to maintain the peace and security of the entire
world.
BILBO SUSTAINS DIRECT HIT
The Anti-Fair Employment Policy Committee
filibuster put on by Senators Theodore G. Bilbo
and James O. Eastland of Mississippi was too much
in the nature of'a flagpole sitting contest to be a
goad show, but there were-a couple of laughs in it
at that. At one point in the proceedings, flagpole
sitter Bilbo referred to FEPC champion Dennis
Chavez as “my friend from Mexico.” Senator
Chavez was on his feet in an instant to protest:
“I insist to the Senator that I am from New Mexico.
Does the Senator know where New Mexico is?”
“] know a little about my country,” Bilbo re
plied. ;
] am satisfied that ‘little’ is correct,” Chavez
said, and sat down.
. Judge Fred M. Vinson's press conference seminar
on the third quarterly report of the Office of War
Mobilization got sidetracked into the haberdashery
business in a couple of places. First Judge Vinson
said that at his last press conference three months
before, Fred Othman of the United Press had
referred to him as a wearer of nondescript neck
ties. The Judge said he wanted it known that his
wife bought all his neckties. Then Felix Cotten
of the International News Service wanted to know
what the government’s wage policy was going to be
for the so-called “blue collar” workers. Felix was
the only man present wearing a blue shirt.
JUST NATURALLY GO TOGETHER
Senator Tom Connally of Texas fired the first
round in the fight for ratification of the United
Nations Charter, and while everyone admitted it
was a great speech, the Foreign Relations Commit
tee chairman read from prepared text instead of
shooting straight from the lip, as old-fashioned
Fourth of July picnic spielers used to do. Connally
was spouting along at a great rate near the end
of his oration when his tongue slipped: “The tragic
war in which we are now engaged has spread its
horrors to distant parts of the earth,” thundered
the Senator. “There have been more marching men
than composed the combined armies of Caesar,
Alexander Hamilton . . .” He paused, took a
second look at his manuscript and then picked up
with . . . “Caesar, Alexander, Hannibal, Genghis
Khan, Napoleon and all the other gory conquerors
of the past.” £
When you say “Alexander,” it's force of habit to
say “Hamilton” in the spellbinder's business.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING
It is pleasing to note that the House
Postwar Military Committee has endorsed
with the exception of one vote the propos
ed program for the military training of
the youth of this country during peace
time.
It is believed that when this bill, with
it's recommendations reaches the floor of
the House, it will be adopted with little
or no opposition,
After several week§ of study, the Post
war Committee has made the following
recommendations:
1. Should be designed primarily to train
men for military service under conditions
of modern warfare.
2. Should conform in its details with the
requirements shomvn by experience in this
war and by future technological devel
opments, to be necessary to prepare mcn
to serve in the armed forces effectively.
8. Should be universal and democratic,
applicable to rich and poor alike. and with
a minimum of exceptions or exemptions
4. Should be fitteq into the existing
structure of the military and naval estah
lishments as provided for in the national
defense act of 1920 and other existing leg
islation, or into that structure as here
after modified by Congress.
5. Should be consistent with the preser
vation of the position of the national
guard officers, reserve corps, the reserve
officers training corps, the enlisted reserve
corps, the naval reserve and the naval
militia as components of the military and
naval establishments.
6. Should provide for training of men
in youth in such manner and on such 4
basis as to cause the least interference
with their normal education and careers
consistent with the effectiveness of the
training program.
7. Should provide for training only and
should not require any character of mili
tary service. Service would be required
only in the event congress should in the
future order consciiption to meet a na
tional emergency. ' ;
The foregoing recommendations are
sound and timely, and if adopted by the
Congress, wil] insure our future security
and we will not again be caught unpre
pared as we were when the Japanese at.
tacked Pearl Harbor. |
AMERICAN LEGION’S PLANS
The American Legion’s homefront pro
gram pledges anew the entire organiza
tion to the service of every veteran of
this war.
Their objectives are contained in five
points, as follows:
First — No interruption in the flow of
equipment and supplies to our fighting
forces; no gaps in the ranks of voluntary
manpower needed to produce the tools
for victory.
Second—~Complete assistance to all ve
terans in securing employment upon theiv
honorable discharge; jobs fitting men of
war and their, peacetime capabilities.
Third—Full cooperation in the re-em
ployment program of selective service and
opposition to all efforts to change the
right guaranteed by Congress to veterans
returning to their forrher position.
Fourth—Prompt and sympathetic ad
ministration of The American Legion—
‘\Sponsored G. 1. Bill of Rights, with any
“ped tape” eleminated.
Fifth Full cooperation in postwar plan
ning to avoid mass unemployment and as
sure jobs necessary in the postwar pe
riod, in accord with the Legion’s advocacy
of a free competitive system with a mini
mum government control.
The Américan Legion has served its
country and its members for twenty five
vears. It has fought for the things that
fight have prevented World War IL its
high ideals and patriotism have made it
what it is today, one of America’s greatest
organizations. Now it insists thal only by
the complete surrender of the enemy na
tions can a lasting peace be obtained. Let
us listen to the voice of these veterans
and demand that no compromise peace
with Japan be even considered: in fact
nothing short of unconditional surrender.
The Chemical Warfare Secrvice, a
branch of the Army Service Forces, is
concerned with technical and scientific
researsh, with development, procurement
and supply of all offensive and defensive
weapons and agents within the realm of
chemistry. :
Shortly after World War 1, the Chemi
cal Warfare Service began experimentiug
with the then revolutionary British smouth
bar-relled four-inch mortar for use in
laying a gas blanket or smoke screen.

TAKING RETONGA BEST
INVESTMENT SAYS' NURSE
Everything She Ate Seem

Her, Weight Was Down
To 112 Lbs., She States.
Feels Better Now Than
In Years. 2,
“After the wonderful relief
Retonga gave me I would feel
selfish not to pass the good word
on to others,” gratefully declares
Mrs. Mary Lola Lawrence, well
known practical nurse of 4500
11thr Avenue, North, Birmingham,
Ala. Discussing her case she hap
pily stated:
“It seemed to me that every
bite I ate disagreed with me and
caused gas in my stemach until I
could hardly breathe. I tossed
and tumbled all night and felt as
wornd out mornings as if 1 had
done a hard days work. My appe
tite dwindled away, my weight
went down to only a hundred and
twelve pounds, and I felt terribly
nervous and weak. I was forced
to depend on laxatives for elim
ination, and I had about lost
faith in all medicines.
“The relief Retonga . gave me
seems astonishing. All that terri
ble distress from gas and indi
gestion is relieved and I eat,

Customs of living and eat
ing in Athens have changed
entirely during the past haif
century. Breakfast, the first
meal of the day, was one of
the heaviest of the three
meals served.
Beef steak with plenty of thick
gravy, eggs, large size biscuits,
light as waférs, battercakes with
syrup or honey, finished the meal.
It was customary for people of
those days to place their order for
beef steak in the afternoon. The
market men delivered their orders
of meat before day-break next
morning. In those days the house
wives had no trouble about their
cooks arriving on time for cook
ing breakfast. Those times were
different from now and the time
was two hours slower than the
present official time, it was known
as Georgia Railroad time.
The merchants and clerks
opened their stores not later
than six o’clock, mornings.
The first thing to be done by
the clerks was to go after a
bucket of water, sprinkle the
floor and sweep out the store.
Trading usually commenced at
about six o'clock and lasted
throughout the day until about
six o’clock closifig time at night.
The home people did their food
shopping during the early part of
the mornings for their dinners and
suppers. Usually everyone had
boiled vegetables for: dinner, tur
nip greens, potatoes, beams, cab
bage or collards. For supper the
most popular menu was fried
chicken, country ham, biscuits and
coffee. It made a fine meal and
was enjoyed. Now that rationing
is in vogue, housewives are barred
from the privilege of serving such
meals.
Our good friends and neigh
bors Col. and Mrxs. R. T.
Riggs, have sent us a unique
tomato, grown in their home
garden, that has the shape of
a duck,
We know from the size and
quality of other tomatoes that we
have received from them, they are
both successful gardeners, but to
grow tomatoes, one of which look~
ed to be around twc pounds in
weight and as if that was not
enough, to grow them in interest
ing shapes, is a real feat. Speaking
of gardeners, we are indebted to
Dr. and Mrs. E. D. Pusey, Mr. and
Mrs. Thad Hawkins, Chancellor
and Mrs. S. V. Sanford and other
friends, for as fine a variety of
vegetables as we have ever seen.
Told in the Ilanguage of
football we are reproducing

Iwo Jima and how we man
aged to deceive them as to our
movements.
The field radio in the battalion
post buzzed, ahd the operator re
ported:
“G Company has made eight
first downs.”
A few minutes later, the jour
nal was corrected to show:
“A touchdown for F Company.”

stead, it was the deadly serious
battle for Iwo Jima, 750 miles
from Tokyo, the toughest job
tackled by the Marine Corps in
its history.
It was also Maj. Frank E. Gar
retson’s own way of confusing the
Japanese.
Maj. Garretson, former gridiron
star for Washington University,
devised the plan during the battle
for Hill 382 when Marine gains
were measured in yards over a
period of more than a week. A 10-
yard gain, was scored as a first
down; 100 yards as a touchdown.
“The Japs,” he explained, “know
a lot about baseball, but few of
them know anything about foot
ball. So I figured this one out, and
it worked throughout the battle.”
