SUMNER WELLES FOR U.N. If President Truman accepts the advice of high-up friends and makes Sumner Welles U. S. delegate to the United Nations, it will not only rectify an old wrong, but also pick up a policy which Welles sold Roosevelt in 1943, but which has been allowed to lapse for three years until last month. This is the policy of writing the peace with ! all nations big and little sitting in. Secretary of - , ,, (TState Byrnes finally came around to this idea ITie suggested reforms by the army Gliony iast month after his failure at Paris. Welles, gripe board." under Gen.

Army Reforms Certainly it is time for some freshening! up of ancient, traditional army practices, fori giving a little more attention to merit, and for abolishing in a peacetime army thc wide social disparities which have been the inevitable inev-itable snobbish adjunct of positions of authority. au-thority. These changes should do much to make the army more attractive to volunteers. volun-teers. And, in the face of recent congressional congres-sional actions, volunteers seem to be the only answers to our. present military needs. Whether these reforms might interfere with combat efficiency are not of paramount para-mount importance at the moment. Russia found that her democratic army wasn't winning as many battles as it should, and instituted sharp officer-enlisted man distinctions. dis-tinctions. Perhaps we should have to also. But the world is striving toward a time when there shall be no more combat. In the meantime we and other nations shall need armed forces. If the United States can nowi refashion its army to a pattern more consistent con-sistent with its civilian democratic practices, we may likely find ourselves with a military mili-tary force of more adequate size and higher morale than is the case at present. British were still in their bombproof cellars. That was the time'. Welles argued, when the terms of peace should be written. Welles also sold Roosevelt on the idea that the small nations would be our best allies for permanent, peace. They had the most to lose through war. Their territories' were always laid waste. Therefore, not merely the Big Three or the Big 4 or the Big 5, which are more likely to start wars, but the little nations which don't want war, Wells urged, should be included in the peace settlement. Roosevelt agreed. But when Cordell Hull forced Welles' resignation and took his fateful trip to Moscow in the autumn of 1943. he forgot all about the little nations and set up a council of Big 4 foreign Ministers. Later Roosevelt tried to pick up the ball by issuing a corrective statement after Hull's return from Moscow. The ball, however, was never really picked up, and the big powers have been bungling the peace of the world from that time on until Jimmy Byrnes after learning in the school of hard knocks, finally adapted Welles' idea following follow-ing his return from Paris. Tragic fact- is that the peace of the world suffers while men in high places gradually gain experience. NEW CHIEF JUSTICE? Every nation including our own must be willing to give up things to make real sacri fices so that our goal of world peace can be Inside reason why Truman is having such a hard time making up his mind regarding a new chief justice is the fact that he hates to spare Secretary of the Treasury Vinson from his official family. Daily. Truman leans more and more on Vinson. Vin-son. Along with Jimmy Byrnes, he has thp most all-round experience in the cabinet service as a congressman, judge, economic stabilizer, war mobilizer. .and head of the RFC. Vinson's ties with Capitol Hill today are even closer than those of yrnes. Despite official statement to the con trary, me president has given serious considera realizedSen.

Old Mr. McCauslin drove the hearse, as long ago as I can remember. re-member. He didn't dress in white. but he dressed in some way different, dif-ferent, though I can hardly remember re-member how. Was it a high silk hat? I do know that in winter, he put a white lap-robe over his knees. Those beautiful horses walked so sedately along but I'm sorry to say that this could not always be said of other horses. Sometimes high spirited horses would become impatient at the slow pace, and they would rear up and whinny and generally act like people. Then their embar- rased drivers would have to pull out of the procession and wait until their horses could be persuaded per-suaded to follow along decently. I'll never forget the first black automobile hearse. It was out- landish and inevitable. Until cars became common, funerals were anything but dignified or beautiful. The horses couldn't keep up. Thc hearse couldn't slow down. The horses snorted at the black monster they had to follow and I frankly wept. It was all so hopeless, hope-less, for I didn't want ti.e horses to go, and I wanted that lovely. shiny, sparkling hearse again. That I should live so long that I couldn't be buried with a white hearse and those lovely horses Ah me It makes me hope that I will fall into the crevasse of a glacier, or be lost at sea. Little by little humanity is turning itself it-self into an ORGANIZATION. We can't be born where we please, we can't die as we please, we can't be. buried , as we please. We have to do everything in a routine, rou-tine, organized way. We might just as well be ants. So long folks.
