^ m e observers, meanwhile, In- tsrprsted Eisenhower's action as indicating the Allied 'commander’e detil-e to maintain the , political statue quo in North Africa until the military situation there Is cleaned up.
This belief waa given some support by a nsutraj observer recently returned from North, A frica, who said the annouilcement that DeGaulle waa to afrive' -soon has' resulted in "wbat almost amounted to a public demonstration in the stredla" by sympathizers of tbe xFighting french leader.

I f this Is policy, ani^not Inertia, the chances are tjiat'toe Democrats are, hoping that thte session of/the General AssemblyXean be labeled as the session whlto gave Mackenzie tala ligtata back.
From some angles, this is not too far-fetched.' It now become apparent that restoration of righta ia one ol the "must” objectives of the Republican machine. Toward this end, the memberehlp of the Forfeited Jttghts Committee for W s sessiem was selected on the basis that It would be certain to approve the Mackemle petl- tion. And if that was so, it. is entirely logical to assume th^t ) the plot went as far back as the Republican state oonventioB, and. to SMume that one chief reason why the party machine fought the Rape candidacy waa, because It a-as intereated In the

This statemC'nt by/Motbr Vehl-. clea Commissioner John T/\ McCarthy Is the theme -qf a dejlaft- ment staqstlcal bulletin which s ^ forth that 57 triuCftc fatalities were causefi- duriu the first three months of 1943 whereas, because of-greatly reduced vehicular use of street aha highway, the total would have been 46 1/ the accident' rate fob 1943 was the same aa for 1942./
The bulletin points out that during the first quarter bf 1942 the traffic fatality .rate was 7.7 cases per hundred million miles of motor vehicle travel. Had this same rate been maintained this year, as unsatisfactory as the experience was to safety promotion authorities, the^result would have been 46 persons killed In motor vehicle accir denta But the rate increased to 8.2 and 57 were killed.^ Despite all the/pleas and admonitions from War effort and traffic safety authorities," comments Oommissioner McCarthy in the bulletin, "the motoring public ia definitely not moving vdth reasonable care fpr safety and consideration for the conservation of manpower and practically Irreplaceable motor Vehicle property."

"Poultry dealera may know In advance that violations of ceiling prices will be prosecuted as severely as meat cases have been prosecuted and we conaider them as serious If not more. serious than meat.”
The federal prosecutors’ office has already handled in Federal Court] 18 In^ctmente and six infor- matiofia; Involving 29 persons Pc*' cused o f ' violating-the ceilingaAi wholesale cuts, o ' beef.- /

The Old Man also saw a lot of a few others, including Walter Johnson.
No Pitcher Had Hia gtuff "With Johnson, It yvaa brute

Without ceremony, and aur- founded only by members of hls family, the President's act meant —to the words of the tirnes—that the United States had. ’’accepted Germany’s challenge to war and formally abandoned its place as the greatest neutral- of a world to arms.’!. /
In the years that fmiowed,.the grim date became Army dsiy- day aet aside in peacetime to call attention to the nation's lan'l fighting forces and equipment. ju.«it aa Navy, day in October bon ora the sqk fighters.

Barry glanced around a t the sudden roar at t a i ^ t e r from the three otjier men. He realiz/sd suddenly he had been duped into coming. ,
AUiaoh’s laughter roae. "Serves you jfght, you recluse.! -I sneaked tote your cabin during dinner last night and took soma Ijalt .from your old books.” Barry controlled ’ Ms irritation

But he remained ominously qmet when AUlaon taught the others several Quiche words'ahe bad gleaned from the book, and they shouted them back and forth wlth hilarious gusto, until surrounding tables of natives looked'ov!r with llitereat.
