He has worn a number of the lengthy titles in which the department dresses its exkey men senior attorney for the fund, special stabilization change attorney in the foreign exchange control division. Lately, as assistant to the secretary, he has .been in charge of the administration of the foreign funds control. Now, because of his executive talents, he may be pushed into the alien, humane post of director of the War Refugees board. This is the board long sought to supervise the United States share of the rescue of Jewish people in occupied countries and finally set up by President Roosevelt. And since many of the rescued will find a haven in Palestine and bring fertility to its sandy wastes, Pehle may help to make true after 2,500 years the words of Isaiah.

Recruitment of 130,000 Irish for work in Britain, and enlistment of another 100,000 Irish in the British army have helped relieve unemployment in the country, however. Even so, at least 50,000 are idle.

No West Pointe reserve officer from er, a Indiana, he entered the army in 1917 and did well then and in the following peace. He did well because he is smart, as chiefs of staff must be. He is a graduate of the general staff school, the war college and most of the armys other crack courses. And when the general staff needed a secretary in 1939 he got the job. He has a strong, dark face, a wide, full mouth which is stubborn unless determined is a better word and a decoration from North Africa which is quite different from the Order of the Bath. The French Colonial regiment, the Second Spahis, made him an honorary Pfc. As such he is entitled to wear a red cloak which hangs down to his heels and probably is a lot snappier than any Bath costume. - one-tim- 'T'HE harassed Japanese must wish they had been less helpful to the Chinese.

In Finland, there was agitation for better peace terms from the Russians as a basis for withdrawing from the war, with opposition to Moscows proposals for restoration of the 1940 borders and discussion about disposition of northern Finnish territory. Crossing the Narva river, Red troops advanced 15 miles into Estonia, while other Russ forces converged on the Latvian gateway of Pskov. Far to the south, the Reds met bitter German resistance as they tried to whittle down Nazi lines to the rear of General Vatutin troops in Poland.

Hutchins of the University of Chicago proposed abolishing all teaching distinctions like professor, associate professor, assistant professor and instructors, and calling them all merely members of the faculty. Hutchins proposal was his latest in a long list of changes he has recommended for streamlining higher American education, the most noted one adopted so far allowing students to complete an ordinary four year course in two years. Under Hutchins, latest plan, neither present salaries nor jobs would be affected by classifying all teachers merely as members, but some complained that in hard times when compensations would be stabilized, they would not be able to offset economic loss by obtaining more prestige through higher titles.
