GAS HOG CONGRESSMEN
A few iiioi)tli.s back a considerable
number of congressmen got hi bad
with their constituents for votliiK
themselves irotlroment pensions. Tho
people (IIdii'i like tho Idea that memborn
of congress should be "featlierliiK
their nests" at public rosin, especially
at this lime. They iiIho didn't like
the the congressmen tried to sneak
their bill through.
Now some "til congressmen have
got themselves Into another hole,
These gentlemen have applied for and
received Class X gasoline ration caids.
The Class X cards give them an unliniltod
gas supply. The politicians'
reason for seeking the curds of this
class la that tliuy are "engaged In
essential government work," part of
which la "vlaltlng their couatltueuta."
Tho conatltuenta, eapecially those
who live In the gaaollne ration area,
say "appleuaauoe" to thla. They think
?and are aaying?thut the congressinen
are again merely looking after
themaelves and their families. They
think that the congressmen are glad
to alap restrictions on everybody?
except tho congressmen.
Come November, there will he elections
In this land of ours. Thereafter
there will he new faces In the halls J
of congress. Some of the "astuto politicians"
now gracing those halls will
ho absent In many cases without
doubt the "pension grab" and tho
"gas hogging" will he far more responsible
for defeats than the much
more serious errors of Judgment of
those sent into retirement. ? Milwaukee
Journal.
If the Axis wins the war and this
t
country falls Into their hands, would '
the Nazis butcher and kill as they aro
doing In France and other subjugated
lands, or would they he more humane
and restrained '/ That question Is not
difficult to answer. The Nazis and
the Japs both hate America far more
than they hate any other enemy now
arrayed against them and wholesale
slaughter, roprisals and indignities of
most Indescribable nature would bo
visited upon our people, If the Axis
should triumph. Wholesale murder,
wantou destructoln, barbaric cruelty
?these are the most apt synonyms we
know for Nazi and Jap.?Chester Re- i

Lights of NewYorh
by L. L. STEVENSON
Seems queer to think of American
soldiers in Dutch Guiana, especia ly
in Paramaribo, the capital and principal
city. When wf were there, war
clouds had not even begun to darken
the sky. So no soldiers were Wl
the streets and white-faced buildings
stared peacefully at the river down
which flowed sugar, rice, bananas,
coffee, cacao and other products
some of which hud come from far
into the interior and some of which
were transported in canoes hollowed
out of great logs. In addition, there
were boats carrying bauxite, that
hard, clay-like deposit which is the
source of aluminum; and aluminum
of course is the reason why the United
States is interested in the Dutch
colony which is a pocket in the
shoulder of the upper East coast of
South America. We recall also the
sugar warehouses on the water front
since raw sugar, under a tropic sun,
makes its presence known in a way
unpleasant to the nose.
New York was in the grip of snow
and ice, but in Paramaribo, the
temperature was 126 degrees. That
may account for the fact that not a
vehicle was to be seen on the main
street and only a few casual strollers,
all with black faces which
was not to be wondered at since the
entire white population of the colony
is only about 2,000. But Paramaribo's
main street was of much
interest to us not only because of
its picturesqueness, but because we
had been told that the British, in
long-ago days, had traded Paramaribo
to the Dutch for New York.
Therefore the main street of Paramaribo
was the Broadway of the
city. We had never seen Broadway
when the temperature was more
than 100 degrees and it looked pretty
well melted at that. Nevertheless
there were still crowds and some
were in a hurry.
We arose early and visited the
market. Paramaribo was busy then.
Through the nights, meats, flsh and
vegetables had been brought in by
canoe, oxcart and other primitive
conveyances. There were great
heaps of dried fish which were handled
much as one handles laundry.
Also there were fiies. But what attracted
us were bush Negroes who
had come in to do their trading. Descendants
of slaves who escaped
from their masters, they live in the
jungle much as did their forefathers
in Africa. A piece of calico, worn
toga fashion, was enough for a costume.
To me, they looked like
bronze statues that had become animated?the
finest physical specimens
I have ever seen. Certainly
much finer than ever appear on
Broadway.
Wonder if the pilot who met our
-ship as we neared the mouth of the
river is still on the job. He came
out in a motor boat with a floursack
clad lad as his companion. The
boat was hoisted to the deck by
means of ropes. Because the tide
was out we couldn't get over the
bar. Might have conversed with the
pilot except for the fact That though
he was shiny black, he spoke mostly
Dutch. Did learn that he had a
wife and 16 children. Noted efficiency
strange in the tropics. When we
were in the harbor and his boat was
being lowered, his assistant started
the motor so it was running when
they hit the water. Maybe he was
in a hurry to get home.
A recent report showed that New
York city?quick trip up from Paramaribo,
eh what??cleared about a
quarter of a million dollars in 12
months through dimes paid to visit
the observation deck at La Guardia
field, parking lot fees, etc. The observation
deck is popular With New
Yorkers because celebs are always
arriving by airplane and New Yorkers
certainly like to goggle at celebs.
There is also a chance to show
off by naming them as they land.
Celebs are easy to spot since there
are always camera men on hand to
greet them with flashing bulbs.
