THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH -- j WORLD WAR I BRIDES World War II Brides MARKED CONTRAST . . . Foreign girls were wooed and won by American soldiers in both world wars but, as the above pictures attest, there was a marked difference In the brides of two generations. Photo (1) shows a group of American soldiers in World War I's army of occupation enlraining at Coblenz, many bringing back wives and children. Girls like those shown in photo (2) won the hearts of American serv-icemen in World War I, the picture showing typical war brides ready to embark for the U. S. In contrast to their sister war brides of a quarter century ago, World War II brides show every evidence of mod-ernity. Photo (3) shows joyous wives of .s obligingly posing on the railing of a transport in typ-ical Hollywood style, although minus the finishing touches. Longer duration of World War II resulted in larger families for G.I.s and their foreign brides. Larger than ordinary is the family of Arthur Smith of Greenville, N. C. Mrs. Smith is shown in photo (4) arriving from England with her four children, two of which were by a former marriage. An Italian girl "feil hard" for Joseph Cianeiotto of Rochester, N. Y., and they were married in Italy. Mrs. Cianeiotto "fell hard" for him again when her war bride ship docked In New York, as photo (5) attests.

Thousands visit there daily. The deal is that as each party goes through, the mother os-trich is to be shooed off her future offspring, so that gawkers can read the copy. There are seven words painted on the egg, which figures out at a rate of $275.75 per word. The following acknowledg-ment is being received by those who order from a large Man-hattan auto agency: "We are enclosing herewith accepted copy of your order, subject to further delays due to conditions beyond our control. Delivery should be expected from 18 to 25 months." Department of Internal revenue has had an agent in Hollywood checking into the extraordinary number of refunds claimed and gotten by high-salarie- d movie peo-ple. By virtue of an ancient law, the government pays 6 per cent in-terest on sums paid and held, until refunded. There is virtually no such thing these days as a 0 per cent Investment, but anyone who wants to miscount or forget to enter a just and probable claim for allowance can draw 6 per cent on such a sum, plus retrieving it in full. During 1945, the United States paid out $17,000,000 of such interest. In 1944. the amount was $23,000,000. This year, the interest will be only about $4,000,000, as the government is "hep" and rushing the kickbacks. Most of this, of course, is legiti-mate.

WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street, N.W., Washington, I). C. There was something rather pa-thetic about it to me when I heard the Preniiient say two words that iWKav marked the obit-uary of a long career. The terse reply was made at a presidential press-radi- o con-ference when a reporter asked Mr. Truman if he cared to say anything about the senatorial primary in Mo-ntana in which Burton K. Wheel-er was defeated by Leif Erickson. ber when the picture was taken. Here are two paragraphs from the story: "Last autumn (remember this was written in E'ebruary, 1935), citi-zens of Montana sent the same young man to Washington as a sen-ator for his third term with the largest majority ever given a can-didate by the Mountain State." A decade passes and new voters grow up. "Wheeler (I observed this in the same interview) came back to his office in the Senate building with the pictures of the high mountains and the deep valleys of his adopted state on the walls, and a victory measured in the same magnificent dimensions. His hair is a little thinner than it was but he can wake the echoes with the same thunder he released when he first arrived. He is still up and at 'em. And the higher they fly the more anxious he is to make them ML" Wheeler, Norris, Ashurst they, too, flew high. There was nothing more that the President could say. He already had endorsed Wheeler with that re-markable loyalty that he has for his friends a virtue which easily may go down in history as one of his faults. Matron Upsets Solon's Aplomb It was during the day and night senate sessions on OPA. The senate recessed at 6 p. m. to continue de-liberations at 8 p. m. Republican Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hamp- - shire, bitter OPA opponent, and Mrs. Bridges went to a restaurant for dinner. Coming out, they were caught by a sudden sharp rain-storm. The dapper, d senator hailed a passing cab, and he and his wife piled in. Be- - fore they could shut the door (and in accordance with Washington's group riding) a huge and very damp Labrador retriever bounded in, ' landing in the senatorial lap. The dog was followed by his corpulent mistral. Some moments elapsed as the quartet arranged themselves in the cab's back seat. The dog con-tinued to snuggle and drip on the white linen suit. Suddenly the corpulent lady, glancing sharply at the sen. iter, ..'Hi: Why. you're Senator Bridges, aren't you?" m idges, pleased to be recognized, nodded graciously, "Well," said the lady, jerking the Sycophantic canine away from the Republican senator, "I'm a regis-tared Democrat!" . . . Wheeler gave the freshman sena-tor, Harry Truman, his first oppor-tunity to show his mettle by letting him bat for him as chairman of the important Interstate Commerce committee. Truman made good, and a warm friendship developed. But even presidential aid couldn't save Wheeler. The other day I was looking over the autographed photographs with which Harold McGrath, superin-tendent of the senate radio gallery, had decorated the walls. It was Just about the time that things be-gan to look bad for the senator. We commented on the senators we had known who had ended long careers in defeat. Of course, Sen. George Norris was the classic example. Five terms. Then he was replaced by an lt man, Sen. Kenneth Wherry. Senator Norris' closest contender for the longevity record in recent years was Ellison ("Cotton Ed") Smith of South Carolina, violently anti-Ne- Deal. He was defeated by a man the year after Norris lost out Up on the radio nailery wall is a picture of Henry Ashurst. the sen. ator whose tongue fairly dripped epigrams. He came to the Senate when New Mexico was admitted to the Union. That was 1912. He left tn 1940, serving five terms plus five Schwellenbach Yearns for West There's a persistent rumor that Labor Secretary Schwellenbach would like to desert the Potomac for Puget Sound. That's not hard to un-derstand since heavy pressure is being exerted to make drastic changes in the labor department and since Schwellenbach is as pop-ular as he is in his home state. In 1934, when he was running for the United States senate, Lew Schwellenbach carried every county of the state the first time this ever had happened. Vicariously, as shown in the re-cent resounding success of his brother, Edgar Schwellenbach, in winning the Supreme court jus-ticeship of the state his popular-ity persists today. Edgar Schwel-- lenbach, almost unknown outside his own community, filed against the incumbent. The court elections usu- - ally don't draw a very heavy vote i yet the man with the former sen- - ator's name received more votes than were cast for the Republican and Democratic candidates for the senate. years. The year 1940 was a bad one for veterans besides Ashurst, William King of Utah left us, having served since 1917, and Lynn Frazer of North Dakota, who came to Wash-ington in 1923. Senator Wheeler served only four terms, but his vivid personality made It seem longer. He made many enemies. Many people disapprove of his isolationism and some of his other views most thoroughly. But there are many, even among his detractors, who respect him for his integrity, for his ability as a legis-lator, something which perhaps is understood in Washington better than elsewhere, and also because they consider his pacifism sincere. I remember a conversation I had with Jerry O'Connell, former rep-resentative who tried to take Whee-ler's seat in a campaign somewhat similar to the one which brought victory to Erickson. Jerry was prot- - ty sore. He had a copy of the Ana- - conda Standard in his hand as well a a clipping. The clipping was a report of one of Senator Wheeler's campaign speeches, made early in his career. I can't remember the phraseology, but the general idea (expressed by Wheeler) was that if the Anaconda Standard, which was supposed to represent the senti-ments of the big copper interests, ever praised Wheeler, it would be a sign that he was no longer worthy of the support of the people of Mon-tana. O'Connell read that to me. Then he picked up his copy of the Stand-ard, and read from it some very kind words for Senator Wheeler. However, I think it would be grossly unfair to say that Senator Wheeler ever "sold out." even fig-uratively, to any interests. As far as I know, he is as sincere to-day as he was when he made his first fight on whatever issue had a side unpopular enough to attract him. In February of 1935 I had a long Interview with Senator Wheeler. I have the yellowing clipping before me. It is illustrated with a huge photograph (more picture than text) showing Wheeler, his fist clenched about to drive it into his palm a favorite gesture. I remem- - Senator in for Happy Returns The eyes of Washington Post readers bugged out recently when they read in a story describing sen-atorial wives' experiences with ris-ing prices that "Mrs. Glen Taylor buyi groceries for a family of 10. the youngest of whom was an baby." I understood im-mediately that the reporter had meant baby, because just two weeks before I had the pleasure of smoking one of the 50 excellent cigars sent up to the radio correspondents gallerv by the sena- - tor. It isn't often that cigars are dis- - tributed in the senate for this par- - ticular reason, as most of the legis-lators have put aside childish things. But radio correspondents smoked Senator Taylor's cigars and congratulated him on his third son, as well as on the other honor re-cently tendered him by a panel of radio experts. They voted him the "legislator most likely to succeed in radio." The two honors had no connection.

The common impression that the average G.I. of World War II was more inclined to take a foreign wife than was his counterpart of World War I is contradicted in statistics compiled by Metropolitan Life In-- i surance company. Records indicate that there were about 52.500 marriages with foreign girls during World War II, com-pared with an estimated 4,000 to 8.000 during the war of a quarter century ago. Records for war mar-riages at that time are very in-complete. Despite the Increased num-ber, however, the foreign mar-riage rate of the two generations of servicemen is practically equal. Longer duration of World War II and the far greater numbers serv-ing overseas account for the in- - crease in marriages, statisticians point out. Third Have Children. Duration of the war also is re-sponsible for an increased number of children in war marriages. The 52,500 foreign brides coming to the U. S. to Join their husbands were accompanied by 17,500 children, in-dicating that nearly a third had children. In a majority of cases there was only one child, although there are instances of as many as three children. War marriages were most com- - mon in European and Mediterran-ean theaters.

Blood Test Used To Fix Maternity In Animal World CHICAGO. An equine parallel to Hollywood's recent series of pater-nity disputes was reported by the American Veterinary Medical asso-ciation. The investigation described by the veterinary authorities was made by two French veterinary scientists and was believed to be the first practical application of blood group-ing to determine parentage in horses. The problem was to determine which of two mares, "Fanny" or "Clairette." was the mother of a COM named "Robert." Serum tests showed that Fanny's blood belonged to group "AB." Clairette's to group "A" and Robert's to group "O."
