Private Seeks Transfer, Sees President, Gets It By HELEN ESSARY Central Press Columnist Washington. No\. ti.— lie was a United States Army private. One of the three million. He had a chip on hi.s shoulder. He thought the best way to .net himself straightened out was to so to headquarters with his story. So when he landed in Washington he hunted up a drug stoic, looked for a telephone book, got a nickel in change and dialed "NA 1414." Then— "Hello there! Is this the White House'.' Well I want to speak to the President. What? Isn't lie in'.' . . . Didya say 'wait?' Sure I'll wait. As long as you say, sister. It's two hours till I pull out. . . . Hey there, operator! Must be something thematter with this line . . . Oh. you're back again! Sure. I said I'd wait. Yes. I do want to speak to the President. There's something about the Army I think he'd like to know. I'm in the drug store at Ninth and Pennsylvania avenue. O. K. I'll stav here till vour man comes. O. K." Meanwhile, the secret service men whom the White Hou.se telephone operator had told about the soldier's call, were on their way to Ninth and the avenue. They had to find out about tlie guy. Was he danger! ous or just cuckoo? They found the soldier sitting calmly at a table reading a tunny I sheet and drinking a coke. He readily introduced himself, answered i questions cheerfully and seemed entirely raitonal ii a shade impulsive. He said he wanted only a minute with the President, and he knew he could make Mr. Roosevelt see he ought to l>c transferred to a differen' outfit. The secret service men were so I taken with the boy they bore him | off to the White House and introduced him to Presidential Secretary j Steve Early. Early was likewise | pleased with the boy. Maybe jus£ | for the fun of the tiling, he took him to the President. The President must have liked the I soldier, too. He said he would do | what he could to help him. He must j have done the right thing. The solI dier got hi.s transfer. ! Another story that could not even Smash Tradition at University I.ois Ribrlin The University »»r North Carolina, which recently celebrated tin1 sesguieenleunial of the laying of the cornerstone of the first bulifflnj; ol the I lirsf state university in the nation to open its doors to students, found its tradition of masculine superiority smashed as a result of the recent elections on the University campus. Two coeds. Miss Kat, Mill, (left; of New Belli. N. C.. and Miss Lois j Kibt'lin, of Greenwood. S. C., were I clio.-en editors of the Tar Heel. I weekly newspaper, and the Carolina Kat Mill Miiga/.ine. monthly publication of Ilio University respectively. This is the first time in (lie history of the University that coeds have held top positions on the stalls of either publication. The hoys claim that the girls jy>t thr positions because of the war and the consequent shortage of men on the campus. But the girls contend they won purely on merit. Doth publications received First Class Awards in the National Scholastic Press Association ratings an nounced la»t week. be rumored except in the truly democratic United States has to do with another White House telephone call. A suburban wife got annoyed with a goat that kept wandering onto her lawn and nipping her victory garden sprouts. Again and again she asked the police and the owner ol the goat to call oft said animal. But the goat kept coming back. The afternoon the goat ate four tomato plants, a pumpkin vine and a Japanese beetle sprayer, she called the White House. They will know what to do with goals, she reasoned. They used to have sheep on the White House lawn. Besides, the White House knows what to do about everything. While she was holding the White House phone waiting to be transferred to—let's say—the White House Goat Expert—an unexpected voice sounded in .her car. ft was the voice that has launched a thousand new enterprises in the past 11 years. The same golden voice. "Good gracious, Mr. President!" the matron said. "1— 1—I certainly didn't think I'd get you. 1 mean, is'nt this wonderful! 1—cr—er was only wanting to talk to somebody about the goat that keeps eating my Victory garden. And I—er please excuse me! There must have been some mistake!" The President allowed there must have been some mistake. But declared he was interested in Victory gardens and he'd always liked goats even though they were a little trouble now and then. He'd like to reconcile the goat and the garden, if he could. Matter of fact, maybe he really could. The end of the story—the neighbor locked up the goat. And the .suburban matron will always believe it was because the President ol the United States told her to. America is wonderful! Aren't you glad you live here'.' » u « It has seemed to me, as 1 have sat for several delightful hours the gallery of the Senate listening to the debates on the Connally foreign policy declaration that what Congress needs is a good grammarian. Hours are wasted deciding on the meaning of certain words such as "an" and "the"—in themselves innocuous. My opinion, it you would have me go further, is that if the Mackinac resolution, done by the alert Republicans at their recent MicuT£an conclave, the Full bright resolution of the House of Representatives and the Connally resolution were boiled down by some good grammarian, skimmed ol' their "whereases" and "heretofores" and "on the other hands" there would be just about nothing left but good intentions. Still, those good intentions are intentions to save the postwar world from immediate disaster and from that World W<i|- III which people are already talking about. Heaven be praised for such intention.-. Let the words of the resolutions take care of their own vapid selves. A year ago the prospect was chaos. We arc fnrthef ahead in nafioiv.,1 mood than at a similar period in World War I. Gen. Marshall Retains Youth DespiteBurden By HELEN ESSARY Central I'ress Coiummsl Washington, Nov. 8—"It must make- you happy to realize that :n addition to admiration you have I he warm friendly conlidence of the American people," I said in an enthusiastic moment the other night to Gen. George Marshall, chief of t'.ili of the United States Army. "I! does mkac me happy." said the general very solemnly, "but it :i'akr-s me humble, too, and very aware <>t my great responsibility. I cannot let them down." General Marshall is looking extremely well. Like a man who knows where is going and it is the place he wants to go. He seems 20 years younger than he did at the beginning of the war when ultimate victory was less certain than now. "Ever so often I thing. "Well, we got over THAT hump'." the gcnei.-.l said. "Then I come upon so many more humps I think I am in lilt Himalaya mountains." ' Mrs. Marshall, who says she has turned farmer and is raising turkey-. was likewise a pleasure and a satisfaction to look upon. She wort a white and gold dress, very smart and carried a while fox cape. "A magazine doing a profile ol the general asked me how much I thought you had to do with vow husband's sucess," I volunteered. "Well! Is thai so?" laughed tin general. "I hope you told Ihe^ji ;hi truth." I said, and thought privatelj that I had never seen a husbanc and wife of high public place more completely sympatica. « S <= I admire Ex-President Hoovei enormously but I do wish ho wouk take a lesson or two in radio speaking. There was good material ii Hoover's' Kansas City talk but as listened in I kepi thnikinK how dramatically President Roosevelt wouk have presented the Hoover idea o "This Is a People'^ War—It Mtis He a People's Peace!" The President knows how to tall slowly and with knowing pause, over the radio. Other gentlemei and ladies who wish lo sell them sclvos to (he public of the air shouU learn not to race through speeche thai in the beginning are belter reac than heard. Another bin} from m —time is shorter now than it eve was and il is definitely later thai you think—why not make friend and influence people by limiting al speeehe.s to IS minutes'.'

So. if you held three originally, your corrcct second lead is the middle card.

I hope I'm not wrong in my judgment, but he has the look and the sound of sincerity. He believes in something! What an asset to anybody! Incidentally, in that recent debate in Ihe Senate, it was refreshing to see Ball, a Republican from Minnesota. arguing for Wood row Wilson's League of Nations against Democratic Senator Tom Connally of Texas. Senator Ball is only 37 years old. He i.s a newspaper man who had done general assignment, politics, rewrite and free-lancing. He is aoning with the Ball-Burton-Pepper amendment to put strong meaning into the cautious Connally foreign relations declaration. » • e Marie Manning Gasch (Beatrice! Fairfax in person), who will publish her memoirs this winter, once wore a SI5,1100 sable coat when she went to interview the William ,lennings Bryan.-. Mrs. Bryan, horrified at the sign of female journalistic opulence, was beginning a lecture on "temptation" when the young reporter said. "But Mrs. Bryan. I borrowed the sables from a rich relation in order to mak'jt you think I was important." Nobody in today's public life makes a more forthright speech than i Bear Admiral Kmoiy Scott Land. | chairman of the maritime commisi'in and director of war shipping. "Jerry" Land, as he is called by several thousand pepoie, sweeps the deck clean of inhibitions when he talk., and to whomsoever he talks.
