Brehm (R., Ohio) has been found guilty of accepting $1,000 in political con- tributioris from a woman employed in his office. And, ironically enough, the jury’s finding hit the headlines on the same day as the report of the Senate Crime Investigating Committee. Congress’ prestige has been built up tremendously by the forthright probing of the Senate group into various areas of public morality. But it gets a severe counter-blow in the story of Representative Brehm.

Russian Pilots are Good “They are working on their in- strument flying. They are work- ing on their night flying. They are working on their bombing,” he con- tinued. “Today, I would say as far as relative efficiency between their strategical knowledge and effort and competency with ougs, it is about a ratio of 20 to 100. How- ever, I think that is no cause for us to be complacent, because they certainly are working, and they certainly have available to them most of the data on which ours is| based. Commenting on Russian pilots, Vandenberg added: “Indi ually, they are fine fliers. Temperament- ally, they are good en. Tech- nically, the Russian air force of today has the benefit of a great many of the German scientists who were captured by the Russians and who are now working for them However, the training of our air-| men in their gunnery and their night flying and their blind flying and their ability to bomb through overcasts, as far as we know—and we are reasonably sure—is nically much more competent than the Russians.” Both Vandenberg air and McCone force must that this warned that the build up to 95 goal will not be re 1952, and that it will take still an- other year to bring the equipment up to date. “I think the United States air force today is well trained and carries a helluva wallop,” declared Vandenberg. “At the ne time, until we get 95 groups more, I wouldn’t want to say that the air force anywhere near the wallop that the npeople of the United States ougl' to demand.” Flowers for Economy If any member of the House Ap- propriations committee can squeeze a nickel tighter than GOP Con gressman John Taber of New Yorl it is his opposite number, Demo- cratic chairman Clarence Cannon of Missouri.

Is it preferable to write a business leter in short sentences and short paragraphs? A. Yes. Brevity is pref »d in a business letter, though it takes real ability to “tell the story” in few words. It is often more difficult to write a good short letter than a lengthy one. Q. Is it considered good manners to supply a word which seems to elude another person who is speaking? A. It is perhaps a friendly service if the speaker is a foreigner— but it most certainly should never be done with a countryman. Q. When a woman has been introduced to you as “Alice Young,” how do you know whether to address her as Mrs. Young or Miss Young? A. The only thing to do is to ask her, unless there is someone else nearby whom you can ask. GORDON rrrrrrrrrerad In what part of the jaws is the strongest pressure exerted?
