NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM
WASHINGTON.—Gen. Joseph P.
McNarney, who is doing a better
job as comnVSnder of occupied Ger¬
many than most people think, likes
to sing. And when he comes up to
Berlin for his regular visits with
the other Allied commanders, he
always engages in a song fest with
the Russians.
As a result, the Russians have
adopted a new song which they
virtually regard as the Ameri¬
can national anthem. They sing
it on any and all occasions.
They think it brings pride and
pleasure to the hearts of Amer¬
icans; and the Red army in
Berlin, at least, is anxious to
please Americans.
Actually, the song may bring
great pride and pleasure to General
McNarney, but other Americans
privately are getting a bit weary of
it. The Russians have learned the
English words, and to the tune of
“The Stars and Stripes Forever,’’
here is what they sing as the new
American national anthem:
“Three cheers for the Sam Jones
Junior high school,
The best junior high in Toledo.”
The fact that they have learned
the words illustrates a point which
some of our top-bracket statesmen
don’t always realize—namely, de¬
spite our difficulties with the Soviet
government, we have no quarrel
with the Russian people. Not much
has been said about it, but relations
between the American and Soviet
armies in Berlin have been extraor¬
dinarily good. At first, the Russians
were suspicious, didn’t want any
fraternization of their troops with
ours. But that suspicion has large¬
ly disappeared. The Red army is
a large, unwieldy, badly disciplined,
very human cross section of the
Russian people, and that part of the
Red army which is in Berlin likes
Americans.

PRUSSIAN JUNKERS
Robert Murphy, political adviser
to General McNarney in Berlin, has
secretly sent a bitter complaint to
the state department because the
Russians have redistributed the es¬
tates of the Prussian Junkers in
the Soviet zone of Germany. The
Russians have broken up some 10,-
000 large estates among about 275,-
000 peasants. Despite the fact that
the Potsdam agreement specifical¬
ly called for breaking up large es¬
tates, Murphy has warned Wash¬
ington that this land reform in the
Russian zone is endangering the
western type of democracy we want.

WE DIDN’T DEFEAT JAPAN
Most people won’t believe it, but
in Czechoslovakia, a country not un¬
friendly to the U. S. A., the people
have no idea that the United States
had anything to do with defeating
Japan. They think it was Russia
that did it all.
Reason is that the Russian
radio and propaganda machine
has done a skillful job of propa¬
gandizing the Czechoslovak peo¬
ple, while we have done abso¬
lutely nothing to counteract it.
Reason we haven’t told our side
of the story is that congress has
hamstrung the state department on
shortwave broadcasting. The house
appropriations committee cut the
heart out of the state department’s
appropriation for propaganda, espe¬
cially radio broadcasting.

MAILMAN SULLIVAN
Too little attention is paid in this
politics-ridden capital to the quiet,
unassuming officials who consistent¬
ly do a bang-up job
One of them is Assistant Post¬
master General Gael Sullivan.
Coming from Chicago and trained
under Mayor Ed Kelly, Sullivan at
first looked like a pure political ap¬
pointee. In six months, however,
he has become one of the most ef¬
fective members of the little cabi¬
net.

CAPITAL CHAFF
Both the Chinese Nationalists and
the Chinese Communists are burst¬
ing to learn what's in the script for
“The Life of Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen,” a
new movie to be made by Producer
Lester Cowan. Perhaps General
Marshall could use oriental curios¬
ity to persuade both sides to get
together. . . . Assistant Secretary
the Navy John Kenny is the latest
to knife President Trumaiv’s atomic
control policy. Kenny testified on
Capital Hill that he was personally
in favor of giving the military great¬
er control over atomic energy—
which was directly contrary to his
commander-in-chief. . . . British
Tories are urging ex-Prime Minis¬
ter Winston Churchill to resign as
Tory leader of commons and devote
himself solely to, writing his
oirs. They seem to feel he can be
more useful in private life.

Harness Horse Racing Has
Surprising Growth in U. S.
Harness horse racing has been
staged in the United States since
the early 1800s, yet it has received
little publicity because it has been
confined largely to county fairs,
says Collier’s. However, besides
being America’s number one rural
sport for many years, it probably
surpassed all others in growth
during the war.
Compared with the 1940 season,
the number of meets will increase
in 1946 from about 850 to 1,100, the
attendance from 15,000,000 to 20,-
000,000, and the purses from $2,-
000,000 to $4,000,000.
