“You don’t know what it is to argue with my Dad,”
replied Miss Churchill after reading the inscription.
Bloom told her about his many trips to England early
in the century, as a song plugger. “I wrote some of the
hit songs of that era,” he recalled, “and most of them
were introduced in England. Perhaps you’ve sung some
of them, 'The Honeysuckle and the Bee,’ for instance.”
“Heaven, I’m not that old, Mr. Bloom,” scolded his
visitor. “But I remember that particular song very well.
My father used to sing it to me.”

of highly trained medical
men to care for wounds im-
mediaately. If it were not
for this on-the-spot medical
service, the horror of infec-
tion and death would be-
come almost unbearable.
Reporting on the heroism of
the Army doctors, a news
dispatch from Munda states:
“It is a heart-warming ex-
perience to watch the young
surgeons working night and
; day, ministering to the
wounded Americans in the
gloomy depths of the New !
Georgia jungle. The main
responsibility for saving liv-
es rests with them. It has
been the aim of the medical
corps in this campaign to
give every wounded man pre
liminary treatment within a
few minutes after he has
•been hit. The Corps does
its job with the bullets and
shrapnel still flying.”
These are the same doc-
tors that a year or so ago
were striving to build careers
for themselves at home. Most
of them have families and
all of them spent long years
of study and privation pre-
paring to practice medicine.
They carry with them into
battle a wealth of knowledge
and the best traditions of
the American medical pro-
fession.
The parents, wives and
sweethearts of the men in
service owe the military doc-
tosr a debt of gratitude they
can never hope to repay.

CORSICANA, Sept. 15—“A dead
man” at Richland turned out to be
a “straw man” Sunday night.
A Richland official excitedly
called Sheriff Cap Curington that
there was a dead man on the high-
way pavement near Richland. The
sheriff and other officers sped to
the scene, but close investigation
revealed a hat, shirt and trousers
realistically stuffed and arranged
with srtaw..
Front ancient times mad
men have wanted to gain
the whole world. There is no
limit to the avarice of a dis-
ordered mind, but that
would only’pile up grief. It
certainly is not worth losing
our self-respect to pile up
any material thing:
For what shall it profit a
man if he gain the whole
A characteristic of , the
jungle fighting ill the South
west Pacific is the high pro-
portion of nonfatal wounds.
“According to an estimate
of the Department of Com-
merce, we will have 19 mil-
lion unemployed persons by
1946 if the war is over and
if we achieve a level of bu-
siness activity no higher
than in 1940.
“If the analysis is sound
and, if this estimate should
prove correct, to provide re-
lief at only $2 a day for this
number of of unemployed
persons would involve a pub-
lic cost of $14 billion a year
—or twice our pre-war na-
tional (budget for all Federal
governmental activities in-
cluding relief. To provide
work-relief might cost twice
that figure, or $25 to $30
billion a year. Obviously
there is no substitute for
employment in private in-
dustry.”—Edgar V. O'Daiel.
WASHINGTON, September 15—Washington officials
who know Italy say the length of Nazi military resistance
there depends as much on the Italian people as on Nazi
soldiers.
-Except for the first few days after Mussolini’s fall, It-
alians have been apathetic. They have seemed content to
let the Germans and Allies fight the battle while they
stood on the sidelines.
But that was when the battle was localized in Sicily.
Now the battle has come to the mainland, and an armis-
tice prevails with the Allies.
This should be the moment for release of, all the pent-
up feeling against Germany—a feeling traditional in Italy.
To Italians, Germans, Austraians, Bavarians are all alike-
foreign peoples who swarm through the Brenner Pass to
molest them.
Meanwhile, German armies cannot fight without trains
telephone and telegraph, food supplies, water, shelter, fuel
and the endless variety of facilities and equipment which
an army requires. Though the Germans have placed
white-collar officials in all strategic activities, the man
who drives the locomotive, or pumps the water, or dis-
patches the telegram is an Italian.
This opens up tremendous opportunities for sabotage
—from hindering troop movements to dropping poison in
Nazi spaghetti.
j Mary Churchill and Sol Bloom
Attractive Mary Churchill collected several souvenirs
i during her first visit to Washington, including a picture
of her famous father addressing Congress and a colorful
booklet on the history of the Constitution.
The booklet was the gift of its author, Representative
Sol Bloom of New York, who autographed it as follows:
morist, was pointed out to her, she remarked: “Oh, of
course I remember him. He used to be in the movies.”
Nash amazes tourists by his rapid-fire spiels about the
Capitol’s showpieces. But when he and Miss Churchill
stood before a large painting in the Rotunda, the guide was
at a loss for words. Finally, he blurted out: “That’s the
surrender of Cornwallis.”
“Yes, it was at Yorktown,” replied Miss Churchill.
Train Wrecks
The current wave of tragic train wrecks has recalled
to War Production Board officials, an unpublished conver-
sation long before Pearl Harbor at which steelman Leon-
ard Replogle urged the railroads to order new rolling
stock immediately.
This was in the days when Bernie Baruch and Leon
Henderson were warning that war was certain and pound-
ing the table that American industry should get ready for
it. Secret hearings were held by the National Defense
Council, at which Replogle outlined a long list of strategic
materials which should be purchased and equipment man-
ufactured.
Having been one of Baruch’s right hand men in 1917-
18, Replogle had a good idea of what the nation would be
up against in this war; begged the railroads to purchase
400,000 cars and 4,000,000 tons of rails immediately. Rail-
road men objected.
“Well, you. remember what happened in the last war,”
countered Replogle. “You didn’t have enough cars. You
couldn’t haul enough coke to the mills, the mills couldn’t
make steel, and the government took over the railroads.”
But nothing was done. After Pearl Harbor, Replogle
was in the office of perspiring J. J. Pelley, railroad repre-
sentative in Washington. Pelley threw up his hands. “Don’t
tell me I told you so,” he said.
Railroads ordered a rush of cars, but had to take
many wooden freight cars with steel underpinnings. Even
wooden passenger cars have been pressed into service on
branch lines. Wrecks on main lines are attributed to
worn out equipment, faulty inspection, and lack of skilled
manpower for both repair and inspection work.
Too Late
Administration political advisers are anything but
happy about Frank Gannett’s farm conference being stag-
ed in Chicago this week. Some of them wanted Secretary
of Agriculture Wickard to jump in earlier, hold a farm
conference which would side-track Gannett. But there
was too much inertia.
The Chicago farm gathering is an illustration of what
Southern Democrats can do when they line up with Nor-
thern Republicans. In this case it was Texas’ Agricultural
Commissioner J. E. McDonald who was busy as a bird dog
working with Gannett in rallying state agricultural com-
missioners at Chicago.
Administration leaders already consider themselves
weakest in the . farm belt and the Chicago pow-wow will
make them more so. ■
