SEN. WADSWORTH
TO LEAD FIGHT FOR
WAR CABINET BILL

u The Republican barrage on War
department delays is under way in
,the Senate. Numerous members are
preparing speeches designed to thro y
heavy support back of the Chambet-
lain war cabinet" bill. even before
,Bt gets out OF committee.

and lack OF coordination" in the War
department.
Z wadsworth has prepared elaborate
charts, showing how under the pr :
Snt system, there are three unofficial
boards between the President and th'
Nar-making agencies. These are the
war industries board, the Council of
Rational Defense. and the clearance
committee OF the council-with TO
slear-cut line TO define the work Of
any of these Crganizations.
i War Cabinet Combines All.
Another chart shows how the war

and the war-making agencies. coin

the three unofficial ones, and adds TO
that coordination the authority #

does not know what will result from
his conference with Secretary OF War
Baker at luncheon yesterday. In
rfhich Baker accepted the principle
OF coordination plans. but frowned
ON Congressional action to force the

CONGRESS- RECORD
DECLARED IN NEED
Of COMPLETE INDEX

Why not have the Congressional Rec
ord indexed and thus save the time of
busy folks who want to consult II"
THIS question has been raised by Prof.
N. b. Andrews. superintendent OF the
Kenly State High School. Kenly. \: c.
He has written a letter on the subject
to Senator Simmons and Majority Lead
er Claude Eitchin.
Prof, Andrews says the Congress
sionaI Record is serving the public not
nearly as well as it should. He sug-
gests that it have an index on the
front page like the index Of many daily
newspapers.
He says:
Difficult To Find Matter.
THE Record is consulted by a num-
Der OF busy men; I may be allowed
to name myself as an example. am
a school teacher and a superintendent;
my time is nearly all taken by office
and classroom labors. desire to
keep at least fairly informed as to
the doings of the Congress and OF the
sentiments of the leading members
OF that body.
'.But as the Record has no daily
front page index similar to that OF
modern publications Of the better
class, it is difficult for me to md
the meat OF any particular copy with
out reading it through-and mani
testify seldom find time for that.
Index Would BE Big Help.
"In my opinion, a well-arranged
outline or front-page index would in
crease the usefulness Of the Record,
as much as sensible headlines in
crease the usefulness of the best OF
our daily newspapers.
in these war times it is extremely
important that the Record be made
as Ineligible as possible. The larger
the number of people who understand
and appreciate the doings of our Gov
ernment, the greater will be the num-
Der who will support the Government
with unQuestionable loyalty 'and en-
thusiasm."

high shoes that lace well up the lee,
that do away entirely with ever pres

number of new caps and hats that are
absolutely waterproof, made to be worn
under the more decorative ones: and
there are capes to throw about one on
the wa to or from the beach

There are any number of pretty and
useful accomplishments to the bathing

Then there are the big beach parasols

rated.
