[Thirty Iowa cities responded immediately to the Leg- jon’s call, with Des Moines print- ing special greeting cards for Am- erican children to send to Europ- ean children. . .Mayor Mike di Salle of Toledo, recently returned from Europe, proclaimed ‘Tide of Toys" week, while Chairman Frazier Reams arranged for the schools to be open even ng Christmas holidays, to receive toys. In Poughkeepsie, N. Y., the Leg- jon used the French merci train “40 and 8" boxcar, sent to New York by the people of France, to collect toys. Poughkeepsie Legionnaires have already adopted the town of St. Lo, France, and all toys collect- ed in the Poughkeepsie area will go to St. Lo. . .Special proclama- tions were issued by governors Bowles of Connecticut, McMath of Arkansas, Browning of Tennessee, Tuck of Virginia, urging support for the tide of toys. . .In Los An- geles, Mayor Fletcher Bowron has decreed this week as “Tide of Toys’ week, and Chairman Louis Goff of the Los Angeles area has fixed California as “a million toys for a million boys.” Largest Legion post in the world is Omaha’s No. 1, with 16,000 mem- bers. But Denver’s Post No. 1, with 10400 members and second larg- est in the world, proclaims it will outcollect Omaha. . .In Marion, Pa,, Editor Harold Keating is publishing in his Main Line Times the names of each boy and girl who sends a toy to the children of Europe. . .

Letters attached to toys can help to start a chain of friendship letters across the Atlantic. Connecticut Battleground Most significant political battle of 1950 will be fought in Connecti- | cut where the Republicans are lin-| ing up a glamor team to oppose equally glamorous Democratic star On the Republican side, Claire Boothe Luce, blonde authoress, ex-| Congresswoman, and wife of ”“’i | i i { Time-Life publisher, (s leng | groomed to run for the Senate against Brien McMahon, who h: done a notable job as Chairman of election, Congressman John Lodge, brother of Massachusetts’ Henry Cabot Lodge, will probably run against newly appointed Democrat- ic Senator Bill Benton, advertis- ing executive and former assistant Secretary. of State in charge of Voice of America. And for Governor, the Republi- cans are grooming the ex-Mayor of Hartford, William Mortensen, a popular vote getter, to run against Democratic Governor Chester Bow- les, former head of OPA and a Democratic possibility for President or Vice President. Two motives are behind Repub- lican determination to make Con- necticut a testing ground in 1950. One is that they want to knock off the ex-OPA chief, who has proved to be so right about price control. The GOP doesn’t want the ghost of high prices, led by Bowles, haunting them in 1952. Se- cond, whoever wins Connecticut in | 1950, with the Governor elected for four years for the first time instead of two, will probably con- trol the state for some time to come, Merry-Go-Round When Sherman Minton was a wasex-President William Howard law student, one of his teachers Taft, and after a heated discus- sion with Minton, Taft remarked: “Well, that's the law and the only way you will be able to change it is to get on the Supreme Court.” Minton is now there. . .The Sup- reme Court has before it five cases involving the right to picket, of which perhaps the most important is that of John Hughes and Louis Richardson vs the State of Calif- ornia. Hughes and Richardson pick- eted one of the Lucky stores in Richmond, in an attempt to induce them to hire Negro employees in proportion to the number of Neg- roes patronizing the store. The Su- preme Court of California issued an injunction banning this picket- ing. .To get the proper back- ground on picketing, the nine old men have gone back through med- ieval dictionaries to trace its his- tory. . .Here is an indication of how concerned the American people are with peace: After Leon Pearson had Quaker Leader Clarence Pickett as guest on his television broad- cast, he got almost as many re- quests for the Quaker booklet on U.S.-U.S.S.R. relations as another TV show, “Who Said That?” which staged a contest for a free TV set Tom Morgan, able head of perry Gyroscope, was sounded out on taking David Lilienthal’s place as Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission.

SOKOLSKY THE HALF-CENTURY YEAR—VIII Youth alwa discovers afresh what has long been known, and so it was in the early years of the Twentieth Century when young people, particularly in the colleges and universities, discovered such worriers about human conduct as Nietsche and Schopenhauer and a slew of pessimists whose ideas either gave a young man a terrific wallop of egocentricity or made him crave spiritual or even physi- cal suicide. To offset them was the vixen George Bernard Shaw, the saintly Leo Tolstoy, the heavy- handed H. G. Wells, Of course, if one were a Philistine, there was always Elbert Hubbard and the “Appeal to Reason” out of Gir- ard, Kansas. Men wrote ideas and youth liv- ed in a turmoil of ideas that was all summed up for a generation in Romain Rolland’s “Jean Christ- ophe,” which in 1950 could influ- ence another generation. Chester- ton wrote paradoxes and Henry James fiction, and the “Atlantic Monthly” was the best magazine which ladies, gentlemen and the learned purchased and even read. It was usual to have thin, beau- tifully bound, gloriously printed books of poetry on one's table ia the drawing room. Intellectually, the early years of the century were soft and talka- tive and even European. When Freud came in, he startled every- body and show-offs began to ex- hibit themselves by saying four- lettered Anglo-Saxon boorisms in the presence of mixed company.

One grader went into action at 5 a.m. this morning battling the night’s snowfall; another had work- ed all night; and they were join-| ed by a bulldozer later in the morn- ing. Trucking of the snow to the West Coast Grocery pier for dump- ing in the channel began in the afternoon. city Engineer J. L.
