Wisely, the Legionnaires followed the old adage, “the gift without the giver is bare,” took the trouble to send a delegation to Europe to deliver the message behind the toys. In country after country, they held ceremonies, telling how American children wanted to share their toys with their less fortun- ate neighbors. The reception was so appreciated that Pennsylvania Commander Walter Alessandroni, who led the i Legion delegation to Europe, wrote Mankiewicz for directing “A Letter To Three Wives, the best film of the year, well deserved their prizes. The awards are said to have fulfilled predictions. ‘We suspect the judges in the Film Academy Awards had unusual difficulty this year in making their deci- sions.

Forgot His Friend There was only one sour note when freshman Sen. Herbert Leh- man cf New York took the floor to eulogize the late Franklin D. Roosevelt on the fifth annivers- ary cf his death. Ironically, the sour note was struck by a Demo- crat who rode FDR's coattails to keep his seat in the Senate. 15 who were in —including Langer the of chambe] change falls upon us We have seen a world with war and unréi taking place somewhere in that world during every year of rec- orded history. America as the No. 1 nation of the world bears a tremendous responsibility in help- ing these thousands of youngsters, who today are no different from curs, to grow up in some measure like our own. “Adults since the beginning of time have been shockingly un- successful in finding the key to peace in the world.

So did the Democrats, even crochety Kenneth McKellar of Ten- nessee, who fought FDR furiously cn most issues. The only man who walked out, rather than listen to few kind words spoken for the man who once saved him from defeat, was Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma. In 1938 when Thomas faced a desperate election battle in the Demoeratic primary, Franklin Roo- sevelt detoured his train through Oklanoma in answer to frantic pleas from Thomas, let the wor- ried Senator stand beside him on the back platform, and even made a statement about the fine work of “my friend” Elmer. . But when this same President’s death was memorialized in the Sonate last week, his “friend” El- mer walked out.

SOKOLSKY A meeting of the Ancient Order of Red-Baiters gathered in the home of Dr. J. B. Matthews for three purposes: 1. To eat his wonderful curry which he learned to cook in Java, while he was translating hymns into Malaya; 2. To celebrate the publication of “Seeds of Treason,” by De Tole- dano and Lasky; and 3 to listen, on the raido, to “Meet the Press.” When it came time to listen to “Meet the Press,” we foregathered | about the radio, with daggers up, our sleeves, to await Miss Dorothy Kenyon, who reminds one of El- eanor Roosevelt before her voice, was cured of its falsetto.

So at the soiree of the Red- Baiters, we tried to figure it out. We got to a figure of 31. Mayb2 that was high, but we had been eating Dr. Matthews’s curry. ‘While all this was going on, Mae Craig started this collogy: “Craig: Well, when you found that your name without your permission, or after you had withdrawn did you take any legal means to stop it?
