Cobb, in this year's ver-sion of his autobiography, gets pret-ty persnickitty about today's report-ers. The columnists, however, are his great big aversion . . . Irvin in-sists the columnists are not accu-rate and 89 forth ... So what happens? , . . So Harry Hansen, the book critic, decided to give Cobb a little lesson In accuracy . . . Cobb, it appears, relates how, in Belgium in 1914, his life was threat-ened ... He goes on, for several Dick Tracy pages, to tell how a fe-rocious German major pulled a gun on him, menacing him worse than Karluff could . . . Here is Hansen's cold water: "The actual incident was trivial. The officer was a ser-geant, and Cobb's life was never in danger. I saw it, and often mar-veled at the international episode Cobb made of it." Oswald Marshall heard It in Lon-don , . . About the two Germans who met in Paree, and Carl said to Fritz: "Have you a gute Job here?" "Yah," Fritz fritz'd. "I have a vorry gute job. I zit on top of da Eiffel Towah undt I vatch for da English to vave da vhlte flag!" "Is it outm nnv?" nnprtori Carl. "Not much," said Fritz, "but idds for lifel" The colyum's I. Elinson recently planed in from Hollywood making his initial flight ... He tried, how-ever, to impress his friends who were taking him to the airport by ' telling them that flying was old stuff to him . . . When they got to the airport Elinson said to an attend-ant: "I'm taking the American Mer- - cury. What TRACK does that leave on?" Columbia's short-wav- e listening post heard this from England . . . It is the best illustration of Russia's position in the war ... It was mcmo'd to Churchill by a returned diplomat from Moscow, to wit: "A report came in to the Kremlin which read: 'Nine British planes destroyed. Nine German planes shot down' . . . Stalin looked at it, rubbed his hands and smiled. " 'Good,' he drooled. That's 18 planes for us.' " Alexander" Markey observes: "Mebbe the 111 Duce will know bet-ter than to Mussolln the next at nine. We hear his chin has retreated six inches! Joe Relchman, the orchestra man, offers the one about Herr Goebbels, who was interviewing a German journalist who applied tor an edi-torial job on one of the newspapers in Berlin . . . "What," asked Goebbels, "are your views on our government and its polices?" "Well," started the reporter, "I think" "Then," interrupted Beagle Puss, "I can't use you." Ozzie Nelson has one about them, too ... It deals with the two Nazis in Berlin who were reading their newspapers and gloating over "how terrible" things were in the United States . . . "Why," said one, "tings iss so bad idd says here in da pay-pa- s dot Roosevelt is hiring men for a dollah a year!" "Iss dot zo?" gasped the other. "Dot's even less dan ve getl" Notes of an Innocent Bystander: Labar and management are re-minded that strikes can never build national defense ... If the British, in the name of Liberty, can stick by their guns the least Americans can, do is stick by their jobs. Now that it Is old-ha- t, let's not forget that the Lend-Leas- e battle-o- ne of the fiercest In the senate's history was waged in the interest of unity! . . .

HOW BRITISH MEET RAIDS FDR got a first-han- d account ot how British morale is maintained during the blitz when Surgeon Gen-eral Thomas Parran, head of the Civil Defense mission, reported at the White House. Dr. Parran'i mission spent a month In England studying the peo-ple living under constant aerial bombardment, and reported that one secret of Britain's splendid morale is Immediate government relief for bombed victims. As soon as "all clear" sounds over a beleaguered city, rescue workers are on, the scene with hot food, med-ical care, arrangements for shelter and ready cash. Repairs on damaged dwellings are begun immediately. Furniture is salvaged and stored. Families whose homes were destroyed are bil-leted at government expense. Com- - pensation is paid for injuries. Pen-sions are given dependents of killed civilians and rescue workers. The mere fact that ready cash is paid promptly has tremendous psy-chological effect. Upon application and without red tape, bomb victims j can get a cash grant to buy cloth-ing, new furniture, and workmen's tools. Small shopkeepers can obtain up to 50 pounds to buy new stocks. Disguised Plants. Dr. Parran's mission was particu-larly impressed by the ingenuity of British civil defenses. One scheme for protecting vital industries is an elaborate system of dummy factories to mislead Nazi bombers. These plants are duplicat-ed even to position, color and mark-ings. Old cars are towed to the yard of the fake plants to simulate work-ers' autos. Some industrial centers even use great smudge pots, emitting huge billows of black smoke completely blanketing an area. Industry has been completely dis-persed into hundreds of small plants In Britain, each making separate parts for the war machine. Dupli-cate plants are ready to take over production of vital products. The American observers declared that the famed balloon barrage has been highly developed and forces raiders to fly at great heights. Long steel cables dangling from the bal-loons are death traps for planes. British confidence in their defense is reflected in the big droo in the number who go to bomb shelters. Fifty per cent of Londoners stayed in the shelters during the blitz attacks last fall, but only 3 per cent went to public shelters in January and about 20 per cent to private and com-munal shelters. GREEKS ARE AIDED Anything can happen in the tem-pestuous Balkans, but it seems cer-tain that Roosevelt diplomacy and the lease-len- d bill were responsible for delaying the Nazi attack on Greece for at least 10 days. The big thing which the lend-leas- e bill did for the British was to per-mit tanks, anti-tan- k guns, and anti-aircraft guns to be landed at Saloni-ka immediately. The British had only limited supplies of these, and had to keep some in reserve for use around Suez and other vital Med-iterranean areas. However, with' passage of the lend-leas- e bill, they knew they could get reserves later from the United States, therefore threw all their present reserves onto the Greek front This type of munitions is what the Jugoslav army and the Turks have especially needed. They have plenty of rifles, machine guns and a rea-sonable amount of artillery; but few anti-tan- k or anti-aircra- ft guns tc stop the advance of modern mech-anized forces. Note The Balkans has been get-ting its American news chiefly from the official German DNB news agen-cy, which had played up all the Wheeler-Ny-e speeches, gave the im-pression that the United States was against Roosevelt and that the bill could not pass. Final passage, how-ever, could not be suppressed in the news dispatches and had a tremen-dous effect upon Balkan public opin-ion, which recalled how American entrance into the last war had turned the tables. NO LABOR PEACE It was expected that John L. Lewis' retirement from the C.I.O. would bring peace to the war-tor- n ranks of labor. But this has not been the case. A.

INDUSTRIAL SABOTAGE AND THE AMERICAN SYSTEM WE AMERICANS, the people of the cities, towns and farms, have a vital interest in the labor turmoil throughout the nation. As taxpayers, we are interested in the terrific increase in cost of the preparedness program these strikes involve and which we must pay. As consumers, we are interested In the Increased costs of the things we must buy. But our greatest interest is in the effect it may have on our system of government, on our way of life, on our future as a nation. A part, a small part, of the tur-moil is occasioned by an honest ef-fort on the part of labor leaders to better conditions of the working classes, to increase their standard of living. With that small part the vast majority of American people will have no objection, will offer no protest. Another part, and a large part, is occasioned by gangsters, not work-ing men, who have seized control of labor organizations and who are seeking personal profit from the agi-tation they create. All too many of the labor organizations are today controlled by such gangsters, who are collecting vast sums from the working classes and reporting to no one but themselves. Another part, also a large part, and one in which we Americans are especially concerned, is occasioned by fifth columnists who would, through created labor difficulties, change our form of government, our way of life. Representative Dies, after long and careful investigation, tells us the Communist party Is attempting, through the creation of industrial strife, to socialize American indus-try ahd remodel it on the Russian plan. Former Ambassador Bullitt tells us that because of these industrial conflicts, we are headed for the fate that befell France. It is the part of the industrial tur-moil engendered by these alien isms that is our greatest concern. We ob-ject to the sabotaging of that sys-tem, that way of life which has made us the most prosperous people, with the highest standard of living of any nation on earth. America cannot countenance such alien methods. Our political leaders of all parties should realize the vast maioritv of all of us laboring mpn farmers, manufacturers, merchants, all are strenuously opposed to a continuance of the activities of the adherents of any European ism in their efforts to destroy us; that we demand legislation to stop the call-ing of unjustified strikes, the under-lying purpose of which is to under-mine the American system of gov-ernment. The fifth columnist and the gang-ster will go to all lengths to gain their ends. There is no place in American labor organizations for either of these. OH FOR THE FOOD OF THE 1941 SOLDIER IT IS A LONG JUMP from "canned willie," salt pork, boiled spuds, boiled beans, hardtack and cheap coffee to roast duck, turkey, ribs of beef and Yorkshire pudding, asparagus tips, au gratin potatoes, ladyflngers, lemon meringue pie, cream puffs, and all the other deli-cacies which can be found on a Waldorf-Astori- a menu. That represents the difference be-tween soldiering in 1808 and soldier-ing in 1941. I was soldiering in 1898 and as I see the difference, am sor-ry I am past the draft age in 1941. Well do I remember how, as a cavalry troop officer, I confiscated a box of cake, cookies and other sweets which a fond mother sent to her son, because the doctors told me no soldier could eat such food and survive the rigors of a soldier's life and work. As I see the luxurious barracks constructed for our soldiers of to-day, I recall how I was threatened with a court-marti- al because I had taken the dividend my troop from the regimental canteen to buy lumber for floors in our troop tents so the men might get out of the mud and stay out of the hos-pitals. That Is another difference between soldiering In 1898 and in 1941. In 1898 the "top kick" assigned the dumbest men of the troop-t- he men who could not do "fours right" "fU!;? left" t0 tte kltc,n as Now they give company cooks a special schooling, teach toem all about calories and vita- - mins. before they permit them to cook, and for cooking Even as late as 1918, rations were not tops, but they had Improved compared to 1898.
