rites. 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.

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.
