GOOFY TO HIM ThIk Is tho gooflost war I'vo over noon or road about, hh far an our aide Ih concerned, especially here In those Disunited States. I'm kept gog kJo eyed and punch drunk from llst en In* to tho news tryln' to find out wIiiiI'h going on and how many rutin our hI?1 o Ih vhalkln' up. ItoHt of tho tlmo I Mot with a cold towel around my head lo get my mind cleared for tho next iiowh bout. It's taken mo about six tnonthH to flgger HiIh thing out ami I may bo wrong, but It appear* to mo what we're Uoln' Is raisin' two big armies?J one a tlghtln' army made up of men' armed with guns and tanks and airplancH and a aocoud army niado up' of workin' men to make tho gun* and tanks and airplane* for the fight-j In' army. We've already drafted the . lirst army and put 'em to tlghtln' a little hit and got a lot of tho other*. Kiiardltf Important hases and strategic i points. We pay the lowest price feller J In the tlghtln' army $5<) a month and we don't let 'em observe tho union' hours of eight a day nor pay 'em overtime when they tight. We've been huvlu' a lot of trouble raisin' our workin' army. Its not a draft army and It's really three armies, one known as AFL, (ienerul William Green, commamlin'; CIO Army, Gen. Phil Murray, commandln', and n sort of a cow milkin' outfit, also claimiu' to he a CIO army, commanded by (leii. John L. Lew he I understand the President doesn't like so many armies and that ho doesn't like (5 e n era 1 Lewis' outfit, HO he and (ieneral ("Jreen and General Murray have kind of ganged up on General Lewis and are tryln' to glvo him the gate and get his other men in the other two armies. The great headache in consolidat In' General ?Green's finny?with Gelleru! Murray'# uruiy Is that each one wants to ho the four-star gtmeral that will command tho whole outfit unci neither one has a* yet stepped hack, polite like, and said: "After you, my dear Alphonsc." I understand our tlghtln' army generals like Mai-Arthur and Marshall and the other top notchers get $8,000 a year but Generals Green, Murray ? and Low la and a flock of these labor army generals got $25,000 a year and a big expense account to boot. There seems to have been a lot of trouble In gettln' thin labor army organized. They won't accept volunteers In any of theae armies unless the poor Kink can dlK up a membership fee as high as $100 or more and then pay a few dollars of his pay every month foi the privilege of workin' In the labor generals' armies. If the poor Kink moves from one place where he has been workln' to another lie has to start all over again and pay another membership duos. It's hard on the poor gink but labor generals must live In stylo and some of them maintain racin' stables and all this costs a lot of potatoes. We hear a lot of talk about a second front In Europe, but to a hillbilly looks like we have given Hitler already a second front goln' pretty well right here.?C. Browning Smith in the Charlotte Observer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. MR.
