When Irene got home from the air- '
plaiifc factory she was good and
tired This was the hour, after work !
and before dinner, that she always
looked forward to Her private name
for it was "My sissy hour " Into it, '
these days, she packed all the lazy,
luxurious little things she loved?
things that used to take up a lot more
than an hour of her peace-time days.
She sat down at the little desk in !
her room You could tell quite a lot
about Irene from that desk The i
water-glass filled with the small bou- ,
quet of flow ers she sometimes bought j
on the w ay home. The paper-weight ;
of pink marble The thin, crackly
blue air-mail stationery. And the big, ,
framed p Holograph
of a young
man in a corporal'?
uniform?as
good-looking a
man as Irene was
I pretty. On the
Klr>tt*r nad lav the
telegram that had come that morning
Just as she was leaving lor work.
With those long, well-shaped Angers
she reached for a sheet ol paper.
She nibbled the end ol her pen lor a
bit, and then she wrinkled up her
nose at the picture ol the soldier and
began to write, "Dear Mr. Morgenthau",
but the corporal's name was
' Jackson and she called him Pete.
, Her round handwriting spread
across the page. "My boy friend is
with the A.E.F, in Ireland. He has
5 cabled me ftfty dollars with which to
I buy a diamond ring. I've been think i
ing it over and decided to buy a War
I Bond to help Uncle Sam instead. This
, may help to bring my boy Iriend i
home sooner, and then he can help |
me select my ring."
Slowly she began to sign her name.
"Irene "
(Letter Irom an actual communication
in the Ales ol the Treasury
Department.)
Let's all sacrifice as Irene has
doae. Bring final victory closer with
the money yon pat into War Bonds.

title to the steel in the river is made,
by th" Camden Metal and Iron com-1
pany, operated by Coon and Carl
Schlosburg. It is said that their contention
is that their father purchased
the steel of the two bridges many
years ago. The WPB officials declare
that a search of the records at the
court house have so far failed to reveal
any record of this claim.
WPB officials are of the opinion
that the claim will be relinquished by
the Schlosburg brothers, who have
been outstandnlg in their cooperation
with the government in the salvage
program.

Ml. SMITH UffcNH. 1 believe Congr?ru
Is doing all any Congress can
do tn wartime Congress cannot be
responsible for leadership More than
Ove hundred exhibitionists, orators
and egoists lend, when they lead, to
lead us in all directions with great
noise When we want quiet, direct
action, it pays to remember that responsibility
bas Its quality no less
than it. quantity Congress. I'm sure,
honors its responsibility more In doing
leas belter rather than in doing
f more toorse
Congress gets more done. I think,
by prodding Presidential inaction and
by criticizing executive and Judicial
m:taction, than by undertaking in*
, heroic action itself All talk Is a sort
. of a temporary filibuster against energetic
performances This is no discredit
to Congress All credit must
come from its function. Congress is
composed under the Constitution, for
criticism snd compromise, that double
dose of duty Is s man-size Job?
Let Congress do whatever it can do
well Its effective power limits its
responsibility The question put here
Is two-fold First* gan Congress cooperate
closely with the President
who must lead us In war and take
the Initiative in peace, secondly, can
Congress adopt, then actually implement.
such proposals for streamlining
as hava been made.
MR. THOMAS CHALLENGES: j
Must Congress follow and never
lead? Congress had no opportunity
for "criticizing" and "prodding" In
the framing of the Atlantic Charter!
The making of the peace will affect
the whole people. Therefore, It is the (
duty of Congress now to assume more
responsibility in the making of the
peace I fear a long executiveInspired
armistice, which, however
well Intended leads to dictatorship
at home, costly policing of the world,
mounting resentment among the policed
and increasing rivalries among
the victors Because I want to prevent
that I demand Congress have a
voice tn the making of tha peace
MR. SMITH REPLIES: Congress is
Investigating and discussing openly
plans and proposals every day of
every week of every month of every
year A look through the Congressional
Record will prove that There
Lc not a movement in this nation
sponsored by anyone, including my
opponent's, that isn't debated day !
after da/ In both Houses of Congress !
This is the continuous, normal, j
chronic, magnificent performance our
public servants render us Congress
doesn't need more responsibility It !
is doing a magnificent Job for what j
it is constituted to do Congress is j
much better thin its critics allow, j
better than its friends ordinarily see
| NK THOMAS OflSS: A Congress
| which cannot or will not perform it?
1 own proper duties degenerate* tn itself
and Ld public estimation This
j meant a decline In democracy Cooj
great betray* democracy wbeo ?t
turns over its proper functions tc
the executive Congress has signed
too many blank checks. That road
leads to personal authoritarian gov,
erbment and dictatorship!
Congress should assume greater
responsibility for the prosecution of
the war. for the winning of the peace,
and engage far more earnestly than
tt has. In domestic and foreign affairs
Congress should extend, systems tire
and coordinate its function, of Investigation
The work of committees
like the Truman and Toian committees
has been epormously valuable
in bringing constructive criticism to
bear Committees should not overlap,
tieafl on each other's toes scatter
their fire and consume the valuable
time of important men needlessly
The failure of Congress to have s
proper joint committee on peace and
post-war planning threatens us with
a worse disaster than that which followed
World War L In no way would
this valuable function of Congress
Interfere with the President's treatymaking
powers In no other way ar?
we to be saved from an imperialistic
peace!
MR. SMITH CHALLENGES: Mr
Thomas seems to forget that the Senate
and the House both have Foreign
Affairs Committees The problem is
not one of setting up new machinery
of government in Washington. Ws
are discussing Congressional responsibility.
The point here Is that the
President can. in or out of office,
promise the people he will or will
oot do certain things A Congressman
cannot make promises He knows
[ he can't keep them Congress is not
in s position itself to lead Id national
policy It is always in the position as
a matter of power, not of right, of
having generally to follow and compromise
its own disagreements
MR THOMAS REPLIES: Compromise
and criticism are not enough.
The problems of war and the making
of the peace call for more aggressive
leadership than these allow.
I insist 1 disapprove of the Atlantic
Charter being drawn up by two men
before we mere at war without consulting
Congress. Congress should
make every use of its right and duty
to investigate and criticize If these
two prerogatives are properly exercised
it may be the safeguard we
need against an arrogant inefficient
bureaucracy II might even cut away
the red tape that binds our American
g:an: captive. Congress must be
consulted it. war and in peace!

I Cagney looks like Cohan, he act* '
like Cohan he sings like him and ha. 1
dances perhaps better than did the
beloved Irish showman. Cagney's B
work in this film has gone down aa a
movie high spot ?
Yankee Doodle IMndy is top flight *
entertainment. Even JItterburg youth '
feels the tug of the old songs. '"Mary *
Is A Grand Old Name," "Forty-Five
Minutes From Broadway." which s
brings real tears to those who saw J
(George Cohan and now see him pic- 1
'tured on the screen. *
And when Cagney sings "Over 1
There," those of us who heard Cohan
sing it back in 11*18 want to stand up *
and cheer. Those stirring days of the I
first world war, with the stirring I
tunes of the time, all come back with I
a rush of memories.
There is plenty of flag-waving in I
Yankee Doodle Dandy. We know all I
Camden movie fans will like It. The I
numbers in which the Stars and I

magnificent and the best of it is, they I
do not seem silly or artificial. I1

is a picture that will never be sur- I
