Most of this would be in the form of American raw materials which the Itritish would process into finished goods anil then sell. The British do "»ot propose that finished \meri can prnducts be given them for reexport, but only that they r.et lend-leased raw m itenals to re vive their crippled industries. One proposal is to set up a new postwar lend-lease court composed of one Britisher and two Americans which would de cide which goods could he used for British trading purposes. The whole plan will be submitted to congress probably Iv. f rt Christ mas. I • I ARMY'S PRFFAHRIC M IT) BRIDGES One of the great but little km wn stories of the Western front is t '.e way in which nrmv engineers got n group of bridge experts tog. i-.t nearly two years ahead of the Eu ropean invasion and designed fabri cated sections of bridges which would exactly rcplai c specific bridges in France. Holland and Bel gium. Through the European under ground. army engineers were able to get exact measurements of the bridges which they knew would be destroyed by the retreating Nazis. Each part was numbered, and spe cial assembly crews, trained in Eng land, rehearsed 'he job of putting them in place. When the invasi n came, these bridges traveled so close behind our advancing armies that they were fre quently ahead of the field kitchens. And on arrival at a destroyed bridge its replacement was a matter of hours. • • * niLL.MAN WOIT.I) CXI) PAC Sidney Hillman didn't advertise it but, during the last days of the campaign, he took steps to dis band his controversial Political Ac tion committee. The final decision will not be up to him alone, for the whole thing will be threshed out at the CIO national convention in Chi cago. But not waiting for the con vention, Hillman sent notice to most of the 200 members of the PAC staff that they go off the payroll before then. Originally PAC was set up as a permanent organization, and there are several schools of thought in side the CIO regarding its continua tion. One group, including auto workers president R. J. Thomas, wants to keep PAC alive. Hillman, on the other hand, wants to shut up shop, concentrate on New York poli tics, and also get his health back. • • • MERRY GO ROUND C.AII during the war. FDR has been a close reader of Carl Sand burg's "Lincoln" and has continued his reading during the campaign. Someone who dropped into his pri vate study one day found a copy of the book open to Lincoln's war days. . . . During the 1864 campaign, Mc- Clellan's followers accused Lincoln of squandering public funds, mis management of the government, de ' stroying civil liberties, meddling with the war, and standing out for "unconditional surrender."

In This Corner—the Winners Another term in the White House has been assured for Franklin D. Roosevelt, who together with his running mate, llarry S. Truman, right, received a total of 132 electoral votes, 17 less than the Democrats se cured in l'i Hi. Truman, senator from Missouri, gained nationwide fame as head of the committee investigating war expenditures. Dewey and his* running mate secured a total of !>!• electoral votes, unless late soldier votes change i ie picture, which is not considered likely by most political observers.

Posted on Election Returns Gls of the American news services broadcast election returns to American soldiers all over the world from the New York headquarters of Yank magazine. The army news services shooting the result overseas with an estimated 25,000 words by cable and another 25,000 by radio to furnish the armed forces with early returns.

ISfi Biptown Characters: The barber wtoo asks patrons i( they want their locks clipped with or without conversation. . . . Sales men in hoity-toity shops always ele eantly attired. Without spats they would feel naked. . . . The creamy voiced barker at a penny arcade—a well-known Shakespearian thespian a decade ago, until he discovered that shilling provided a steadier in come. . . . Sepians at electric shoe shine parlors conversing in jive lingo which baffles people who can understand only English. Pretty bobby-soxers lugging lunch boxes to the Paramount—so they can survive sitting through a i half-dozen shows worshipping King | Sinatra. . . Jitterbug, almond-eyed i youngsters in Chinatown—complete- | ly Americanized. . . . An old artist j copying masterpieces in the Mu- ] scum of Art. His hands are shaky, so , he steadies his brush by gripping 1 it with both hands. The handicap, j however, doesn't seem to afTect his i excellent canvases. . . . Crowds fas- ! einated by pigeons nibbling at bread-crumbs. Proving again that almost anything can attract a mob in the Big Burg. . . . Germans in Yorkville saloons sipping their beer. These spots used to be Bund hang outs. Now big signs urge customers not to discuss the war or politics. The dramatic contrast in tawdry, sidestreet joynts: Entertainers con sist of a mixture of has-beens and youngsters with a bright future. . . . Celeb fanatics ogling first-nighters j entering the theatre—getting more of a thrill by staring at biggies than first-nighters get from the shows. The silly brawl between two friends at a midtown bar—because each insisted on paying the check. . . . The 77-year-old gent who has the same breakfast every morning at a Madison and 50th street eatery: Doughnuts covered with mustard. Ugh. He claims that combination has added years to his life. . . . Side walk Napoleons who used to discuss military tactics remaining in tune with the times. Now they also de bate postwar problems. . . . Swishes who congregate for some unknown reason in foreign language movie temples. . . . The lovely SchrafTts* hostesses. Most of them look as if they had to pass a screen test be fore they were hired. Nvtrspa pvrman Stuff: Ogden Nash was once taken to task for using the word "coyful" in one of his verses. . . . "Have you ever heard of anything being full of coy?" asked a critic. "No," nash'd Nash. "But neither did I ever hear of anyone being full of bash." The word "controversy" serves as censors' abracadabra. . . . They mutter that something is controver sial and— presto—they presume the truth will vanish. . . . Blue-pen cilers have used that alibi to hin der freedom of speech and press for a long time. . . . All of which leads into an Alec Woollcott yarn that illustrates our viewpoint on the subject. . . . When Alec was broad casting his sponsor pounced on him with the squeak that he must refrain from using controversial ma terial. . . . Woollcott promptly de manded that the sponsor explain what he meant by "controversial material." The sponsor's reply was a dilly: He deplored Alec's caustic refer ences to Hitler and Mussolini—for fear it would antagonize people in the country who supported them! From FPA's new book, "Nods and Becks": Of course, there are many who say that a daily columnist, which means a person who has six or seven full columns a week in a paper, doesn't really work, but that he would like other laborers to work six days a week for the period of the so-calicd properly so-called emergency. . . . We knew not what course others may take, but we nev er have been able to do it under a seven-day week, and some nights. Often we dream of Jeanie with the unfilled column. We dream that we | have three minutes in which to I write a column, have it set, read proof and make it up. It would be pleasant to work five eight-hour days a week. To quit, in the mid dle of a syllable, if need be, when the whistle blew! And then some days, as if mere writing weren't enough trouble, there is a lot of clip ping and pasting to do. It sounds easy, but it takes longer to find the shears and the paste for first-class stuff than it does to write third—all right, we won't argue—fourth-class stuff. The Society Set, which claims to be sophisticated, but is the easiest pushover for all types of phonies. Societyites have gushed over fake dukes, counts and other spurious nobles for years. No matter how many are exposed there are always other phonies to take their place. . . . The dowager who lost her fortune a few years ago. However, she still lives in luxury because she became a bookie! Her clients are Park Ave nuites. . . . Music lovers who lake symphony scores to Carnegie Hall and read the music while pla>»d.
