CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis Washington, D. C. STATE DEPARTMENT STYMIES ROCKEFELLER Aides to Nelson Rockefeller think the administration blundered in fad ing to defend itself better against the charges of Latin American ex travagance made by Republican Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska. Inside fact is that Rockefeller pre pared a rebuttal to Butler’s blast against our Good Neighbor spending, but it was killed by the state depart ment. The rebuttal had been prepared as an article for Reader’s Digest, un der Rockefeller’s by-line. Rockefel ler showed it to two advisers, John Dickey and Anna Rosenberg, who both okayed it. Then it was sent to the state department. There, Hull’s public relations ad viser, Michael McDermott, advised against letting young Rockefeller step out as defender of the govern ment’s foreign policy. He urged that this prerogative should be reserved for Cordell Hull alone. So the article was killed, and the next issue of the Reader’s Digest, instead of carrying a government rebuttal, carried another blast by Butler, with an editor’s note saying that Rockefeller had been given a chance to reply, but declined. So readers all over the country are beginning to think Senator But ler may be right. * • • LOS ANGELES STRIKE The army, which seized the Los Angeles Water and Power system as a result of a strike by electrical workers, hopes to turn it back to the municipal authorities about the time this appears in print. When the labor department re ports on this strike, its figures will show that 2,300 men went out. Real fact, however, is that many times that number were thrown out of work by the stoppage of light and power. • Reason the war department stepped in was that the strike had closed: 84 aircraft plants; 38 navy plants; 14 army service forces plants (ordnance and quartermas ter). Though the general public knows only of such prominent cases as the army seizure of the railroads, actual ly the army is being forced to take over many properties tied up by strikes. It has become a pattern. Labor unions make use of it to threaten management. Ten mills were tied up in Fall River, Mass., because of a mere jurisdictional dispute between an in dependent union and the CIO. The army was obliged to step in, and is still in. The same thing happened at Peabody and Salem, Mass., in a dispute in the leather industry be tween an independent union and the CIO. Also, the army has been obliged to take over the Western Electric plants in Baltimore because of the notorious “back-house” dis pute. War department officials are get ting worried over this trend. They have become the Department of Emergency Labor. They don’t like it. They want to fight the war, not fight labor. • * • ON THE AIR FRONT Recently, U. S. fighter planes set up a new record by penetrating a distance of 550 miles into Europe— 1,100 miles round trip. This has been published, but what may not be realized is that fighters are working this run in relays. Triree different teams of fighters go out toward the target at different times, using the following pattern: 1. The first team goes out with the bombers, and protects them halfway to the target, meeting and engaging the German fighters. 2. The second team, starting lat er, catches up with the bombers at the halfway mark and escorts them the rest of the way to the target. Thus, they arrive at the halfway mark without having to combat Ger mans all the way, and so have fresh supplies of gas and ammunition, while the first team, with exhausted supplies, turns back. 3. The third team starts still later, and meets the bombers at the target. Here they drop their belly tanks, take over the hot fighting above the target. With fresh sup plies, they relieve the second team, which turns home. Generally, the first team consists of Thunderbolts, the second team of the faster Lightnings, and the third team of the still faster Mustangs. Since all fighters are faster than bombers, they can go out and catch up with the bombers at any agreed point. This technique has greatly extend ed the range of fighters and greatly increased the protection they afford for the bombers. • • • MERRY-GO-ROUND C. Ed Stettinius says the Soviet forces have been able to maintain good communications, partly be cause we have sent them 189,000 field telephones and over 670,000 miles of wire—enough to go around the world 27 times . . . Equally im pressive is the quantity of barbed wire lend-leased to the Soviets—216,- 000 miles of it. “It is significant,” says Stettinius, “that after the fall of 1942, the Soviet army stopped asking for barbed wire in large quantities.” THOSE SMALL-TOWN TEACHERS (Apropos of a recent belittling of school teachers by toe mayor of New York on the ground they came from small towns.) They’re just some small - town teachers— They’re just the smaller fry; They come from little places (Where no lond-speakers cry); They’re small-town educators— Their I.Q. it is slight; They merely know the secret Of teaching truth and light! They’re just some small-town teach ers Not qualified to talk Of things like education In cities like New York; They come from all those hick spots Like Yorktown, Miller’s Run, Bennings, Ticonderoga And—let’s say—Lexington! They’re just some little people From places far away From all the super spotlights And microphonie play; Just schoolma’ams who don’t mat ter— The class and type I scorn— Who teach in towns like Springfield Where Lincoln’s kind are born. They’re just the small fry tutors— The mind they merely mold In Concord and in Plymouth And other spots of old; They’re merely bush-league teach ers— Yon know the 1 sort I mean— Who taught the Hales and Prescotts Kit Carson and Nate Greene. They teach in far Missonla, In Saybrook and Fort Lee . . . In Medford town and Trenton In Kent and Little Tree; In schools around Mount Vernon And Saratoga Heights In Gettysburg and Moultrie; They’re just the lesser lights! Such teachers! Merely bnshers! The kind I scorn and shun; They merely tanght Steve Foster, Bell, Ford, and Edison! How dare they make suggestions To cities all aglow. Where noise and size and clamor And rudeness run the show. • • • IN THE RED AND BLUE CHIPS How’re you doing with those new ration “tokens”? The red and blue chips that will supplant coupons are now in circulation. • Good fun, too! * This department has investigated and found that tokens have it all over coupons for fun and utility. If a coupon falls from your pocket you can’t hear it drop, a disadvantage completely removed by tokens. And rememl -r that a coupon always had one big drawback: Yon couldn’t stitch it onto a pair of pants as a suspender button. * It is also possible, if you are a skilled operator, to use ration tokens in buses, peanut machines and juke boxes. We just tried out the juke box angle. We put in ten red disks and got two frankfurters, a piece of cheese and a song hit. * For five blues we got a half pound of “Shoo Shoo Baby” on rye bread, three eggs and one patty of butter. • Then we tried a pinball machine. We used about 500 points in ration tokens and only got 350 points on the pinball scoreboard. The matter was referred to OPA which prompt ly referred it to the department of justice. Those new red and blue ration tokens are now being issued in change for ration coupons. This means you are allowed twice as many arguments on the same num ber of points. • When you come back from the butcher market you now have, not only your bundles, bat a collection of disks, slugs and buttons of Junior’s party-pants. ♦ These tokens or buttons will be worth one point each as a starter. (If the baby swallows a few, bring him to the nearest delicatessen store and swap him for a can of peas and some meat loaf.—Ed note.) * If daddy swallows a couple just tell him it serves him right for reaching for aspirin tablets in the dark. • Our grocer, however, says he is well pleased. Customers with cou pons could always swoop in and take him by surprise. But carrying these new tokens he can hear ’em rattle at 200 yards. • • * Elmer Twitchell Is always looking for trouble. He has pnt in an appli cation to be a referee when the exeentors of Mrs. Shaw’s estate be gin trying to remodel the Irish. • • • Mayor LaGuardia announces that butter may be served again at lunches in New York restaurants. But we didn’t have much luck. “Butter, please,” we said. “No butter," said the waiter. “The Mayor says I can’t have it.” “Get it over the radio,” he snapped. IF YOU can answer the following queries strictly on the level, with out looking to the answers, we’ll be more than glad to award you the first sprig of dogwood blossom when spring arrives. 1. Query — What famous fighter nev er wore a headgear in training nor any form of mouth or teeth protection ei ther in training or in actual contest? Answer — Gene Tunney. “Never in my ring career,” Grantl&nd Rice Gene told me, “have I ever worn any form of training headgear or any protection for the mouth. 1 wanted to know what to do when I was hit and hurt. You can’t learn anything like this wearing a protecting headguard—or a guard for your mouth and teeth. I was hit around the head more than once with punches that jolted—and I had a bleeding mouth more than once in training. But I never believed in any form of protection in training that didn’t apply to an actual con test.” Did you know that one? 2. Query—What great golfer Id a National Open was just off the green in two, only ten yards awaj from the pin, and then took flVe more strokes to get his seven, with out being trapped or bunkered, and still won the major crown? Answer—Bobby Jones at Hoylake. Two terrific shots had left him just ten yards from the pin on a par five hole. The pin was on a mound. His short chip shot ran up the slope, stopped and rolled back off the green. His next chip shot slipped past, over the crest, the ball drib bling 30 feet downhill. Three putts cost him a seven where he had an easy four in sight. Yet he still went on to win. 3. Query—Gene Sarazen has often said yon can’t take a seven and win an open. What golfer took three sevens in his final round and still won by more than a dozen strokes? Answer—Bobby Jones at Winged Foot in 1929, in the U. S. Open. His three sevens left him tied with Espinosa. A day later he crushed Espinosa by 23 strokes in the 36- hole playoff. Maybe You Can Do Better 4. Query — What heavyweight champion has been knocked down more than any other heavyweight champion, and in turn has knocked down or knocked out more challeng ers? Answer—Joe Louis. Louis was knocked down many times before he was champion by Max Schmel- ing. He was knocked down by Jim Braddock, Tony Galento and Buddy Baer. But his list of knockdowns and knockouts included most of his opponents. 5. Query—What famous heavy weight knocked his opponent down —then stooped over and lifted him to his feet, to the cheers of the crowd for a sportsmanlike act — then knocked him down again as he held him np, to the boos of the crowd? Answer—Jim Corbett when he fought Joe Choynski on a California barge. Choynski fought barehand ed, Corbett with skin-tight gloves. 6. Query—This is one yon should not miss. What golfer won a major open championship with a hole in one? Answer—Jock Hutchison at St. Andrews in 1921. His hole in one gave him the chance to tie young Roger Wethered, a British amateur, who subsequently ruined his chances by stepping on his ball as he walked backward to keep the right line. Baseball Oddities 7. Query—(Here’s one that will stop you colder than a mackerel on an iceberg)—What pitcher in a well- known league pitched a no-hit game and was beaten 5 to 6? Answer—King Bailey, pitching for Selma in the Southern league. That same season a pitcher by the name of McIntyre in the same league al lowed 16 hits and won his game 1 to 0. Figure that one out. 8. Here’s a question from Joe E. Brown—“What big league ball play er stole first base?” Answer — “Germany Schaefer did,” the 100,000 mile warfront trav eler tells me. “Germany was on first- with a runner on third. He stole second, hoping to draw a throw. He didn’t So he promptly stole first again. There was a wild squawk and the rule was changed next year, but for all that Schaefer was credited wittf the steal.” 9. Query—(This one is easy)—What pitcher had the greatest number of strikeouts and shutouts? Answer — Old Barney, the Cof- feyville Express—meaning Walter Johnson. 10. Query—Who was the first foot ball player to hide the football un der his jersey and then, unnoticed, run for a touchdown? Answer—Tick Tichenor of Auburn, playing against Vanderbilt around 1896. He faked being hurt, fell to the ground, tucked the ball away, ran 60 yards and won the game 9 to 6.
