"Morale is important in any struggle. Three cheers for all we can get, But noth-- j ing is breaking my morale down Just now like some of the baloney being spread by alleged morale builders." Mr. Twitchell was more dis-turbed than usual. "The quick-er we get the phony element out of this morale stuff the better," be resumed, pounding a table. "At the moment it is the race track people who are pretty close to tops in overdoing this angle. I like racing. I hope the war won't stop it. But it gripes me to listen to a continuous stream of bunk about horse "tracks being of primary importance to the war effort You would think from some of this stuff that the war and the mutuel win-dows were linked in the all-o- de-fense effort "I listened to a broadcast after a big race in Florida the other after-noon, and, immediately after giving the payoff prices, the broadcaster went into a spiel on the importance of the eight-rac- e program to ulti-mate victory. It lacked only 'Hearts and Flowers' by a string orches-tra. "It was the crowning peak to a lot of similar flapdoodle that has been coming from the racing inter-ests for months, and it is doing the morale-buildin- g business no good. "Give me a day at the races when I have been working hard and am feeling blue. I yield to no man in my love of the thoroughbred. I find a peculiar attraction in the mutuel window. I love the soft whispers about the good things coming up. I can even stand all those photo fin-ishes. But don't give me that stuff about the ponies being of such vital importance that the American peo-ple will never be able to bear up through the war without them! There's a limit!" It is now predicted that it may be necessary to ration men's socks. The center of minimum . worry about this Is In the Ozarks. a SONG FOR TAXPAYERS (Irving Berlin has written a tong to cheer up income taxpayers. It is called "l Paid My Income Tax Today." News item.) Hooray, hooray, hooray, hoorayl I paid my income tax today; In acts like this I love to glory . . . At least, my friend, that is my story! A tax is quite a joy to me I paid it very cheerfully; It made me anything but blue I love to come across, sez you! When I'm feeling rather sad, There's always something makes me glad: I love to sing, tra la tra loo The minute that my tax is due. When I am feeling extra low And down my spirits seem to go I find relief, oh, many thanks. In filling out some income blanks. Should dark depression o'er me spread Such feelings I know how to shed: I ask an income tax to pay And Morgenthau, he says "Okay." Old Irv Berlin is happy, too To pay each levy high and new, And I'd be twice as gay, I know If I had all that fellow's dough. A vaudeville unit is on its way to Iceland. It will, of course open cold.

Wrfngfdn Washington, D. C. WARY GRAVY-TRAINE- R You can write it down that Secre-tary of Agriculture Claude Wickard is going to be very chary about us-ing that gravy-trai- n veto power the farm lobby voted him in the price control bill. He knows that the White House is still sputtering over his unauthorized endorsement of this lobby scheme at a crucial moment in the senate fight over the legislation. Also, that if he attempts to exercise the power he is liable to be slapped down even harder than when he fronted for the lobby. Actually, under cover, Wickard has promised in effect to be a good boy. It didn't leak out at the time, but during the secret deliberations of the joint senate-hous- e conference com-mittee on the bill, he wrote the com-mittee a letter repudiating his pre-vious endorsement and saying ha didn't want the veto power over farm prices. Wickard wrote this letter under White House pressure. He knew he was in bad and he tried to square himself. But for the administration, the backdown was too late. The dam-age had been done, for the amend-ment was in the bill and the lobby's pals on the joint committee were in a powerful position to stand pat. In this final bitter fight, two Ala-bama Democrats and a Michigan Republican were responsible for the retention of the gravy-trai- n provi-sion. They were Sen. John II. Bank-hea- d and Rep. Henry B. Steagall of Alabama, and Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott of Michigan. As the amendment originated in the senate, under the rules, it was necessary for the house conferees to propose deletion. Steagall, chair-man of the house group, publicly makes a great show of being a red hot Administrationite. But behind closed doors of the committee room he adamantly refused to heed Roose-velt's pleas for elimination of the lobby amendment. Backed by Wolcott, who fought the vital war bill from the start, and with Bankhead running interference in the senate group, Steagall forced the retention of the provision. Note: The administration's fight was made by Sen. Prentiss Brown, Michigan Democrat, and Sen. John Danaher, Connecticut Republican. Another Row. Wickard's fronting for the farm lobby in the price control bill isn't the only row he's had on this score with inner administration leaders. The papers are full of stories about a big crop expansion program this year to meet the food needs of U. S. war allies. Frequent press re-leases issue from the busy publicity staff of the agriculture department about grandiose plans. The real inside is that Wickard didn't get busy on these plans until he was practically ordered to do so by Vice President Henry Wallace as head of the Economic Warfare board. Wallace sent Wickard two sharp letters demanding prompt action to expand crop production and only then did Wickard bestir himself. Certain farm elements are against crop expansion, on the ground that scarcity makes for better prices. Working through politically minded Triple A officials, who have a lot of influence with Wickard, the kept him on the fence until Wallace jarred him off. Note: Secretly, the AAA politicos also had a lot to do with Wickard's endorsement of the gravy-trai- n amendment in the price bill. The AAAers are jealous of Price Admin-istrator Leon Henderson's authority, want to elbow their way into the war set-u- p as big shots. F.D.R. AXES LEWIS The inside reason why John L. Lewis was not named a member of the three-ma- n C.I.O. peace commit-tee was because President Roose-velt personally blocked it. When he and C.I.O. President Phil Murray discussed the counter plan that scuttled Lewis' blitz scheme, Roosevelt advised that the new A.F.L. and C.I.O. peace committees be limited to three members each. That would avoid turning the joint committee into a "mass meeting," he explained, and also make it eas-ier to keep hostile Lewis out of the picture. "If you have too large a commit-tee, Phil," the President added with a smile, "you may appoint Lewis." "I guess you're right. Mr. Presi-dent," laughed Murray. Note: Lewis intimates say he would not have accepted appoint-ment to the committee if it had been offered him. GENERAL MARSHALL You weren't seeing things if you saw the news picture of Gen. George C! Marshall, army chief of staff, at-tired in the uniform of an air corps officer. It was him all right and he had on an air corps uniform. Marshall is not a flier. He is an infantryman. But outside of the air corps, he is the flyingest officer in the army. Whenever possible Marshall always travels by air and is an authority on planes and aerial tactic? ill iVew York Heartbeat: It costs a lot to win a war, but It costs more to lose one. Traditional-ly, an American balks more at in-convenience than he does at sacri-fice. But let's not fool ourselves. There is a difference between civil-ian discomfort and military sacri-fice. An empty sugar bowl is one thing, and an empty ammunition belt is another. An old second-han- d car is a nuisance, but there is no such thing as a second-han- d navy. Pri-orities are harsh, but remember that the marines ask only that they be the first to fight Living quarters may be cramped, but American sail-ors are living in submarines. Men who fly in high altitude bomb-ers are giving more to their country than those who pay high income taxes. You can't buy Liberty in t bar-gain basement, and the theater of war has no reserved seats. Peace will restore sugar and tires. But not even Victory can bring back the Colin Kellys. -- Buy Defense Bonds-Typew- riter Ribbons: Joe Louis: Now that I've finished cleaning up ail tne uaers, I m going after the Snakes . . .
