It was obvious that thfe general was as bored as his secretary looked, her interrupted dictation on her crossed knees, which she uncrossed as the general's eyes wandered. The colonel was the army's No. 1 specialist on the which wps about to revolutionize warfare, as the colonel could (and would, if he got a chance) tell you.

The colonel had brought the general about up to the third Punic war and the secretary was wigThe general himself had gling. begun to fumble with form The colonel realized that he was rapidly losing his audience. So he raised his voice so that file clerks in the next office stopped filing (their fingernails) and looked up. "By the way, General," he remarked confidentially, "Did you know that I'm writing the President's next speech? The one he delivers to the Inter-Planeta- association?" The general's secretary perked up . . . the general raised an eyebrow . . . the colonel smiled . . . At about the same hour, over in the Metropolitan club, a very dapper young man from the division of the Far, Near and Middle East and expert in economic-ethic-patholog- y, was sipping a thin a which his chief had just ordered. His chief was bored "By the way, Chief," he said in a whisper so loud that even the waiters stopped looking respectful and listened: "I'm writing the President's next SDeeeh at thp Intrr association's confer ence. In four other places, four other young experts were telling their bosses the same thing. All were perfectly honest, all were believed. and in 20 minutes or so, stenog raphers, clerks, messengers, waiters and cab drivers were pointing out "the guy who writes the Presi dent s speecnes. All this has been going on, I suppose, in world capitals since before somebody else thought he had codified the code of Hamscotch-and-sod- Planetary murabi. What really happens is this: The President calls in one of his more literary secretaries all of mem are literate, but not all literary (some those whosp HnHo ar conversing with politicians, don't nave to De 100 inerale). The President says to the literary one: "Bill, in this speech I have to could write himself. Of course, all presidents get advice, counsel, assistance and inspiration from many men of many minds. Of course, there are humanitarians and grammarians, stylists and ' Carlyle-ists- , lexicographers and economists geographers, and agronomists, Russians. Prussians and Persians upon whom he can call if the need arises. And somehow or other, each and all, if they but contribute one jot or tittle to the sacred paper, think they wrote the whole qt at least the stenographer who had to take down all the stuff hopefully offered for possible presidential use thinks so, and tells her friends about it confidentially. The problem of presidential speeches is much to the fore these days for this reason: President Truman and his advisers, despite the rebel yells, the wails of the defeatists, the triumphant roar of the elephant and the ominous hoof-beaof the polls as they Gallup downhill, still believe- - he has a fighting chance So return in November to the White House, and hp intends to fight for it. The President is going on a of speaking tour of the West course, it isn't a campaign, that would be undignified and immodest Dctore the convention has asked. He will speak under no "political But he will speak sponsorship." and he is going to ad lib, as we say in the trade. Even if we hadn't had our ears conditioned for 12 long years by the golden voice that breathed over the firesides, the oratory of Harry Truman when he reads a speech, be it ever so numDie, never would be mistaken for the vox humana or the angels' chorus. But when Harry Truman gets up and talks, he's very human, very sensible, and not altogether So from now on, he's going to speak extemporaneously, no matter how much preparation it takes. He showed what he could do without notes or manuscript (and without, learning by rote) when he addressed the newspaper publishers and the Gridiron club in April, and again in May when he talked to the national conference on family life in Washington. And since such speeches aren't written, nobody can say he wrote them for him. ts ff WINDFALL: Arnold Toynbee, British historian, types the Jew. as a fossilized remnant of an extinct civilization. He meant that because of their faultless devotion to the religion of Moses and their strict adherence to ancestral customs, the Jews, descending through history as a compact group, have retained most of the single-minde- d, original characteristics which marked them when first they emerged as part of the Syriae civilization thousands of years before Christ. They are recognized today as being in but not of the societies in which they appear on every portion of the globe. They al- most invariably form a minority group, and as such they have been targets for endless persecution. Socially, world Jewry has been of two minds concerning the most desirable end it could achieve for itself. Those two conflicting trains of thought are represented by the "Zionists" and the "dispersionists." The dispersionists have advocated that Jews should mingle freely with whatever people they have chosen to live among and gradually be assimilated by that people. Zionists, of course, favor establishment of a national an Indestructible homeland Ideal ever since Moses led the exodus to Canaan. Since the war, with Nazi attempts to obliterate German Jews completely and subsequent displacement of millions of European Jews, Zionism has been given a tremendous impetus. That Impulse to Zion has been distilled Into what the world has eome to know as the "Palestine More recently it problem." crystallized even further In the actual establishment of a Jewish In Palesstate called Israel tine, ancient homeland of the era Jews.

Ritualizing the expiration of mandate Great Britain's rule over Palestine, Sir Alan Cun ningham, British high commission er, hauled down his personal flag In Jerusalem and flew to Haifa where he boarded a cruiser.
