Glmour-Myths
G' LAMOUR-MYTHS of the United States Army
Air Corps are roundly debunked in an article
in the current American by Senator Elbert D.
Thomas. Air Crew men fought magnificently,
the Senator concedes, but imaginative publicity
writers went overboard in seeing that the flyers
"live in fame" as the Air Corps song provides.
"For years our Air Forces have given the Ameri-
can public a false sense of security by untruth-
ful boasting," the Senator says. Infantry men,
who long have shouted this truism, should be
highly pleased to have it phrased by the chair-
man of the Senate Military Affairs Committee,
Senator Thomas gags at the Air Corps'
smooth public relations lingo. "Combat results,
especially in bombing operations, were grossly
exaggerated. Scores of enemy strong points
were 'wiped out' on Monday and 'obliterated'
on Tuesday only to offer the bloodiest resis-
tance to our ground forces on Wednesday."
He denies the success of our so-called "preci-
sion bombing" by stating the Germans them-
selves had a bombsight "so much better than ours
it made their ordinary bombardiers as good as
our experts." He belittles our well-publicized
daylight bombing raids in Europe by opining,
"Had our invasion been delayed six months, the
Germans could have regained air superiority,
not only in Europe, but over the Channels and
southern England."
THE Senator's statements seem 0 bear out an
oft-quoted slogan that was cherished by the
ground troops in Europe "When the English go
on a mission, the Krauts head for cover; when
the Heinies come, the Yanks and British head for
cover; but when the U. S. Army Corps comes,
everybody heads for cover."
Although the Senator doesn't touch on Air
Corps reports from the Pacific, he might easily
have found men who have been puzzled by the
Colin Kelley case or confused by the repetition
of B-29 attacks on a target which according
to the dispatches was destroyed several times.
This propensity for publicity rather than re-
spect for truth found us at the war's beginning
with an utterly inadequate and much over-pub-
licized Air Force. Before he retired General Arn-
old acknowledged that "We have paid heavily
for this error. A repetition of this error in the
future could mean annihilation." Thanks to
Senator Thomas for criticizing the bad publicity
which intrigued us 'with the Air Corps mission,
but frequently deceived us as to its success.

Fair Warning"
LT. COL. FRANK EBEY, commanding officer
in the German town of Wuerzburg, has issued
a directive to his troops warning them that they
must stop making "disparaging remarks against
our allies (the Russians) to the German people."
The warning was issued after Winston
Churchill's Fulton blast which, in addition to
heightening the morale of the Germans, also
received the concurrence of many American
troops stationed in Germany.
That Col. Ebey was forced to warn his troops
away from the Russo-probe line indicates an
unhealthy attitude on the part of Americans
stationed in Germany. That he did so makes
us wish there were a few more Army colonels
like him.
It is a sad commentary on our troops in Ger-

KICKS&
COMMENTS
The task of keeping abreast of jazz musicians
and their products is, by and large, a thankless
one; the boys never stay put, for one thing, and
the loose contract laws make it possible for the
same group to go from studio to studio, impro-
vising all the time. This spring, matters are
even worse, or better, depending on your patience.
Many of these quick-flowering record com-
panies, it's admitted, stick largely to the fields
of Latin-Americana, 17th Century religious songs,
sea chanteys, and the like. They almost all re-
cord jazz, however, some of them poorly, and one
or two of them, like Savoy, with a fair degree of
success.
Savoy comes in for comment today on the
basis of a pair of tenor sax albums, and two
single records. . The albums feature the work of
performers like Don Byas, Ben Webster, Lester
Young, and, of course, Coleman Hawkins, all
backed by a variety of combinations. Of the
two, I liked the second album best, and in par-
tucular, Webster's "I Surrender, Dear" and
Young's "Lester's Blues." . Byas stands out on
one of the single records, "Candy," though
some among you my prefer the other, a full-
band version of "Swing Street" and "Twilight
in Terehan."
Just in passing: Capitol's "This Modern Age,"
the fourth in their History of Jazz series, is
around, with some strong work in it by Butter-
field and Carter, and a recording by Bobby Sher-
wood of Bix's "In the Dark." Victor nas :e-
released Artie Shaw's "Stardust," "Temptation,"
and "Begin the Beguine," no doubt to replace
those already ground thin by the juke-boxes.
There's a new Burl Ives album on Decca, some
nice licks by Cootie Williams on "Juice Head
Baby," and great air of expectation about ARA,
the new Hoagy Carmichael-sponsored recording
company. -Bob Goldman
I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Churchill's Friends
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
WASHINGTON-Everybody here is walking on
little cat feet around the Russian issue, and
much of the local talent is busy trying to find
some way to exploit the crisis on behalf of pet
objectives that have little or nothing to do with
the international situation.
Mr. Rankin, of Mississippi, is trying to make
Mr. Churchill his baby. He has just delivered
a curious oration saying that while he does
not agree with Mr. Churchill on the matter of
an Anglo-American alliance, we ought to listen
to the Great Britisher's warnings on the sub-
ject of Communism, and throw every "subvers-
ive" off the Federal payroll, and -indeed, off
the soil of the United States, and replace them
all with ex-servicemen.
THIS is typical of the manner in which some
of the lesser lights here are trying to hitch
their little wagons' to the Churchill star,.. Mr.
Rankin's definition of what constitutes a "sub-
versive" is, of course, very broad and sweeping.
He launched into his tirade after hearing a Con-
gressman named Buffett attack Winston Church-
ill for conducting a "war dance" on the American
radio. Mr. Rankin leaped to his feet, shouting
"That sounds very much as if it had come out
of Moscow."
It hadn't. It had come out of Nebraska, which
is Mr. Buffett's home state
Meanwhile, a subcommittee of the House Mil-
itary Affairs Committee is pressuring Secretary
of State Byrnes to remove men of "Soviet lean-
ings" from the State Department intelligence
service. The subcommittee does not claim that
these men are Communists, but only that they
are friendly to the Soviet Union, and so this
attack has already gone one step beyond being
a drive against the Communist Party. There may
be such men in the State Department (though
it would perhaps be difficult to convince the
Kremlin that the American State Department is
shot through with Soviet sympathizers) but the
real point is the manner in which the Russian
imbroglio is being used to change the political

balance here in Washington,
Mr, Cox of Georgia, was heard chortling the
other day: "The Reds are on their way out of
Washington," and in his case too, we are deal-
ing with a man whose definition of what makes
a Red is extremely elastic. Mr. Cox is a fam-
ous enemy of reform, of any kind however
light, and when he declares, as he just has,
that he suddenly "feels better" about the
chances of purging the government bureaus, a
great many strictly-non-Communist liberals
here in Washington suddenly feel worse.
PERHAPS that is one reason why there has
been a noticeable cooling .off, in top circles,
of expressions of alarm concerning The Russian
crisis. Mr. Truman was quite emphatic at his
last press conference, which I attended, in ex-
pressing his optimism on the Russian matter;
it seemed to me he was really trying to put over
a hopeful view, and not just throwing in a remark
for the record. And Mrs. Roosevelt has just been
down, to speak against alarmists and those who
peddle war scares. Perhaps Washington liberal-
ism is suddenly beginning to realize that it is in
danger of being run over, mauled and mangled,
by a political stampede which, though based on
the Russian issue, has in truth, little to do with
it, and is aimed at domestic results which will
not solve our international problems, nor, indeed,
are they intended to.

BOOKS
Christopher Isherwood
Prater Violet
TONI sells violets at the Vienna Prater. She is
the main character in a "B" picture which a
young English intellectual and an unusual
Austrian director collaborate to produce
in PRATER VIOLET. During the course of the
production, the two, representatives of the intelli-
gent Englishman and Austrian in pre-war days,
air their views on politics and philosophy, the
movie thus serving as symbol of the reluctance
of the European to face the fact of the coming
war, and emphasizing the tragedy that good
minds are wasted on an inconsequential work
when war is spreading over Europe. The light
touch of the author, in harmony with the super-
ficial stoiy, contrasts pointedly with the seri-
ousness of the meaning.
The structure and characterization of the
navel are sound. They suppf;rt and elaborate
the theme. Mr. Isherwood, the young English
writer, thinks to himself that the war may not
come, after all. Friedrich Bergmann, who has
seen some of Hitler's doings already, is seriously
concerned about the war, but ends up in Holly-
wood, Mr. Chatsworth, movie magnate, is inter-
ested in is business and not in the war. Law-
rence Dwight, the cutter, believes in efficiency,
and tries hard not to be a romantic. Minor
characters like the gossip hound for the film
coluin, and the suave Umbrella (so Bergmann
calls the neat man who is symbol of disin-
terested, self-satisfied England) show the ordi-
nary man and his painful lack of feeling for the
distress of Europe. Revelation of character,
and of social attitudes and ideologies, are en-
compassed during the space of time required to
produce a motion picture.
rTHE movie groups as the problem in Europe
deepens in intensity. Reality is achieved with
local color drawn from the movie industry, in its
technical aspect. There is a feeling of unity in
the precision with which all the elements of the
story are brought together in the unassuming
little development of the production of the film.
The writer keeps his message always before him,
although at one point he seems more interested
in getting the movie finished on time than in
making his political and social observations. The
message of the book is not essentially new, but
the irony catches the tragedy of the situation,
and provides the value of the book.
This is Mr. Isherwood's first book since the
well-received GOODBYE TO BERLIN, which was
published in 1939. He has a good understand-
ing of social phenomena, and the ability to see
them as incident. His perception, lightness of
style, and sureness of satire combine well.

Dominic Says
THE dropping of Winston Church-
ill into Mid-Amera just now is
not unlike the dropping of Rudolph
Hess into north England during the;
early period of the war. In both
cases the presupposition was that if
a clever man could get to the chief
opponents of progress within the
country an entire people could be
turned back from their chosen direc-
tion. In this case, that world's
greatest newspaper, whose policies
we must repudiate generally, may be
able to perform a service. The editor
of the Chicago tribune is quick to see
that much of the influence exempli-
fied in Asia by the Russians has been
practiced artfully by Britain for the
greater part of a century. We will
not intern him .as Britain did Hess
but before this period of reconstruc-
tion is over, it will be clear to all that
his cleverness, performed as a prank-
ster behind the back of the school-
master in Missouri, was too clever.
Cleverness, unlike wisdom, has in
it an element of deception. Clever-
ness arrives at an end by either legit-
imate or illegitimate routes, while
wisdom plods along 'the hard road of
honor. Wisdom, though its goal
seems to recede, can find fresh fuel
from additional sources and rather
than use any short cut will make
certain that the means are as sincere
and genuine as the ends in view. In
his volume on Richelieu (p. 319), Hil-
aire Belloc. notes that "Men who
change the history of the world are
always making mistakes, as do all
other men. They seem to differ from
other men chiefly in four things:
first, that they have better fortune;
secondly, that this good fortune works
upon exceptonal ability coupled with
a strong desire to rule and direct the
world; thirdly, that they are con-
tinuous in action; fourthly, that they
live long enough, which may be ac-
counted by some a part of their good
fortune, by others of their ill."
This ability to take a long chance
is cultivated by persons in various
spheres. In fact it is the man of
faith who uses it most skillfully. It
brings into focus that religious
quality of the remote, the whole,
the ultimate set in contrast to the
immediate, the partial, and the
temporal. The architect appeals
to that which satisfies the human
spirit, and the minister, called upon
to consider time, sets it over against
eternity. In morals, does not one
yield the immediate for a remote
good? In health, am I not wise
when I endure a few weeks of rem-
edy to attain free functioning for
life? In the acquisition of know-
ledge will not one first enslave him-
self to Core subjects in the hope of
gaining full freedom over a wide
range in mature years? Mr.
Churchill, this undefeatable cus-
todian of defeated British conserv-
atism, in taking a long chance, or
setting out on a romantic adven-
ture, in the hope of committing the
United States to a course of action

which stopped short of the United
Nations Organization became a su-
perb illustration of the fact that
men, even our great men, some-
timesedefeatatheverycause .they
believe they are advancing.
However, there was a secondary
hint by Mr. Churchill, which has been
quite overlooked, the suggestion that
Britain might welcome "Union Now,"
first on an Anglo-Saxon basis, and
later world-wide. The interpreter who
can put that construction on the lec-
ture, discount the bad timing, and
credit the occasion with being in-
formal,-which it could not be when
the President of the United States
was on the platform,-makes of the
occasion a rather reasonable enter-
prise. This interpretation would
somewhat soften the impact of his
numerous critics in England and the
United States.

Party Squabble
Iy DEW PEARSON
W 'JASH11NGTON-- If Senate Democratic leaders
didn't "get religion" at Bob Hannegan's lat-
est revival meeting, it wasn't Bob's fault. The
meeting was held behind closed doors in the
Senate office building with Democratic stalwarts
and Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach also pres-
ents.
enannegan minced no words in urging support
for Tunman's leg isla ive program, but received
some counterblows from Senator Elmer Thomas
of Oklahoma, white-thatched Chairman of the
Senate Agriculture Committee. Challenging
Hannegan at one point, he declared that "a lit-
tle inflation won't hurt the country at this
time."
Hannegan's major message to Democratic
Senators was that President Truman wanted
a 65 to 75-cents an hour minimum wage bill
passed-and without delay. He declared that
a measure such as that introduced by Senator
Claude Pepper of Florida and Representative
Frank Hook of Michigan was "number one" on
the President's list.
"I think you all understand that a suitable
minimum wage policy is extremely vital to re-
conversion economy," said Hannegan, pointing
out that the present national wage level is only
40 cents an hour.
"The Democratic Party will be held to blame
if we don't raise wage levels to meet increased
living costs," he warned. "Therefore, in ad-
dition to economic considerations, it's very im-
portant, for political reasons that Democratic
Members of Congress get behind the Minimum
Wage Bill."
