NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, NEA - The 81st
Con-
gress that convenes in Washington next January
will very definitely have a different look Thir-
ty-three senators have to be elected Ml November.
Senator Overton of Louisiana died Seven vet-
rans are resigning Tapper of Kansas Hawkes
of New Jersey White of Maine Moore of
Oklahoma Bushfield of South Dakota Hatch of
New Mexico and Pappy O’Daniel of Texas.
Four Republicans face tough battles for re-
election: Ball of Minnesota, Brooks of Illinois,
Cooper of Kentucky Revercombe of West Vir-
ginia. Two Democrats are in the same boat:
Johnson of Colorado and Tom Stewart of Ten-
nessee Senator Umstead of North Carolina has
already been defeated in state primary.
All 435 of the congressmen must stand for
re-election Four Important Republican com-
mittee chairmen have announced they may not
run for re-election, but may change their

sey Nearly 100 House seats were won in the

matters far more vital to the na-
tion.
When he was campaigning in
Oregon, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
urged that the next Secretary of
Interior be named from the West.
In theory, this could be dandy
since the West is most immediately
concerned with the problems of
conservation.
It is not difficult, however, to
imagine a deal for the Interiorship
going to a Westerner committed to
the powerful grating interests The
broker for the eager candidate
might pause and say: "If we prom-
ise you the Intenor post in the
cabinet will you agree to carry
out sound conser ation policies?"
But he is not likely to de that.
Waiting just outside the door is
another delegate broker for an-
other eager candidate.
One of Senator Arthur H. Van-
denbergs chief handicaps was at
he had no managers making dele-
gate deals for him He has persist-
ently refused to allow volunteer
brokers to act for him. It is also
true of course, that this would
greatly strengthen his position
once he was in the White House
But that fact was not likely to
impress the dealers in that fre-
netic Philadelphia game.

Aa a man who started in the
ranks, end who through sheer bril-
liance managed to stay there. I
would like to talk to the youngster#
who before not too long will be
drafted into the armed services
of this country.
My talk will be addressed to
those who are fortunate enough to
be placed in the Infantry, the
branch in which General MacAr-
thur, General Bradley, myself and
other, did such a magnificent job
during World War II I cannot
speak to those who will be in the
Navy or the Air Corpa, because
those are , branches of service on
the right side of the railroad
tracks I have heard that Navy
and Air Corps men enjoyed such
luxuries as sheets and pillow cases
and ice cream during the recent
conflict, which completely divorcee
them from the Infantry The near-
eat thing that an infantryman got
to ice cream, in the South Pacific,
at least, waa aged Australian mut-
ton. which means that the mutton
lacked only a few months of being
old enough to vote. As for sheets
and pillow cases, the Infantry nev-
er has had them Those who lead
the Infantry work on the sound
theory that the good earth is good
enough for a good guy, and if they
can't rest their heads comfortably
in a mud puddle, or drift to sleep
with nothing for cover but the
heaven, and nothing for a mat-
tress but dirt, then they are Sissies
with a capital S.
DON'T WORRY
Boys, and mommas of boys, don't
worry about Army training. Being
a man who went through it. I can
say with all truthfulness that it
was just about the best thing that
ever happened to me. In the first
place, how we old gaffers envy
your being able to go in the draft
at 19 to 25, What a lot of us would
not give to be subject to that call.
You'll appreciate what I'm talking
about when the dentist becomes
your best friend and you are
tempted to wear foundation gar-
ments to look as if you were only out of them
35. In conclusion, let me tell you
it'll be tough at first, sure No- that you’ll come out of your Army

the Army doesn't build soldiers by this country. Your pulse will quick-

shoved around by guys you know off and the flag comes down, and

life, and you'll get mad at this cot at night, tired as you may be
But you won't be quite as mad if you’ll get a little red, white and
you stop to think that as soldiers blue shiver when taps is played,
you couldn’t carry their shoes Taps, you know. Is Uncle Sam;

States and be prepared to defend
a treason charge if necessary.
A month or five weeks later you'll
swing that pack like a kitten by
its tail, and wonder why you ever .
thought it was heavy the first time D
you toted it. The first month of
calisthenics will come close to
killing you, because the Army has
devised a set of calisthenics which
makes every little muscle peek its
head around the corner and say,
"Don’t do thia to me." Before long
you'll feel better than you ever
did in your life, and you'll have a
right to. In your heart you will
know that you're doing the right
thing for your country, and your a
physical being will be what a D
young man s should be -- awful
healthy.
Now for some real sensible ad-
vice on gold-bricking, which is a
most important part of being an
enlisted man
SOME POINTERS
1. If you have a very common
name like Smith. Jones or Ed-
wards. change it to something
weird like Zyskkmniyj. The ave-
rage regular Army sergeant will
not be able to pronounce it and will
never call you out to do anything. •
He'll work on those common names
sure as fate.
2. Do everything that you’re ord-
ered to do very slowly. If you do
things fast, you’ll only give the
Army time to let you do something
else.
3.Concentrate on your weapons.
Don’t kiss off learning about the
things which in case of war si and
between you and the other guv
4 Do not respect corporals. Cur-
porals. and I can prove this by 1
statistics, are all jerks There has
never been a nice corporal since
the American Army was founded.
5. Respect generals. Some of
them may not deserve it, but they
can sho’ make it troublesome for
you if you don't.
6. Always salute officers on the
street when they're loaded with
bundles. It annoys the bejeebers
