PATRIOT BUSINESS MEN

Behind that irate outburst from
the New England Shoe Manufacture
erS association at the army's new
method of buying shoes was an I'M
told story of how a group of bust
ness men working for the govern
ment saved the taxpayers about
Sc, 10000
The manufacturers were indignant
that the army, under Defense COM
mission guidance, had scattered its
orders for 100000 pairs of shoes
instead of giving this juicy business,
as in the past, to few big firms.
But by this new method the army
was able to obtain shoes at 81 so a
pair less than they cost during the
World war.
A group of business executives,
working devotedly in the procure
ment division, in the past six months
not only have saved the government
several hundred millions on defense
supplies, but have not disturbed
market conditions or caused con-
sumner prices to zoom. The shoe
deal was only one item in this re-
markable record, but it is a typical
one.
Because of the long battle in con-
gresS over the Selective Service act,
the army was not sure until the very
last moment whether it would need
shoes for 100000 regulars, or for
100000 additional draftees. So it
was September Is before Brig Gen.
Clifford Corbin of the quartermas-
ter corps rushed to the Defense COM
mission with his requirements. The
procurement aces were all ready for
him.
For weeks they had quietly sur
veyed the shoe industry. They knew
the capacity of every plant, from
the giants capable of turning out
thousands of pairs a day to the
smallest factory in a Boston loft.
Also, they had carefully studied
World war experience, when the
price of shoes had sky-rocketed as
result of the placing of big orders
with a few firms.
So, diScarding the army'S system
of asking for bids on the entire
1000. 900 pairs, the commission ex-
perts quietly asked every reputable
manufacturer in the industry for a
price on the number of shoes he
was capable of producing The re-
suits of this willy trading were re-
markable.
During the World war, the army
paid 81 a pair for shoes. Through
the procurement divisions method
of negotiated contracts, distributed
among Is factories from New Eng
land to St. Louis, the army was able
to get its 4,00O,0O pairs of regula-
ton shoes at $3.50 pair.
Note-Chief of the procurement di-
vision is quiet-spoken Donald Mel
son, the former Sears, Roebuck
dynamo.

eggs during hot weather. These
Easements will frequently serve as
a place to hold eggs even in winter.
Eggs moving into market chan
nels have been comparatively clean
this year, showing that some care
has been taken in grading by the
farmer. This practice of keeping
the dirty eggs at home will result
in a higher grade and more money
for the lot Of eggs. Small spots Of
dirt can be removed easily with a
small piece of steel wool, but an
egg should never be washed.

WALLACE TO PLAY STRONG
ROLE
For about 160 years, the vice pres
ident of the United States has been
either pure fgure-head or else a
trouble-maker in the family of his
chief, the President.
Tom Marshall, vice president I'm
der Woodrow Wilson, is remembered
only for his remark: what this
country needs is a good five-cent
cigar"
Charles G. Dawes, vice president
under Coolidge, became famous
when his alarm clock allegedly
failed to go off and he arrived at
the Capitol too late to change tie
vote.
Charley Curtis will only be re-
membered because of his social war
to place his haf-sister ahead of AL
ice Longworth at dinner. And Jack
Garner will go down in history be-
cause of his private refrigerator and
his covert opposition to Roosevelt.
None of these vice presidents was
dill dCtlNe "OIheE LUZ the Hedu Ol
his administration; many of them
deliberately hindered it.
Now, however, for the first time
in recent history, we have a vice
president who will be right hand
of the President. Wallace was
trained under Roosevelt and can be
counted upon to be great asset,
not a deterrent.
1t is not supposed to be known
yet, but already Wallace has dis
cussed ideas with the President
whereby he will work on three inn
portant problems. They are:
/. To act as Gaison officer be-
tween the White House and con-
gress. This is the most important
job of all.
2. To act as sort of ambassador
at-large in cementing Good Neigh
Dor relations between the United
States and Latin America, especial
ly where congressional affairs are
concerned.
3. To formulate plans for shifting
the nations industrial economy
from armament to a normal basis,
after the war is over.

developed various sensitivities to
President Inonu tent that he
OF Turkey Man soon became
With Antennde' known not
only as a lip
reader, but a mind-reader. It was
inevitable that he should become an
excellent dead-pan poker player and
be wary and knowing participant in
international politics in his neighbour
hood. YOU'D think the man had an
tennae," a correspondent who had
interviewed him told me several
years ago. 1T is almost spooky the
way he seems to feel out everything
around him."
Perhaps, making his frank ad-
dress before the national assem-
bly,, he has a hole card which
the juggernaut powers hadn't
figured on. At any rate, he is
bold and explicit about Turkeys
determination to stick to her al
lance with Great Britain, and
proclaims that 1.-THE bonds Of
alliance which unite US to her
are solid and unbreakable."
Those who have played poker with
the man, ingratiating little fighter
and diplomat say that when he bets
'em he has email kibitzers gloom
lily shaking their heads, however,
as they figure the Axis hand.
1t was as Ishmet Pasha that he
made his career, changing his name
in line with Renal Ataturk's mod
ernization program. A colonel in
the Turkish army, he made peril
GUS passage through hostile lines in
1920, and joined Renal Ataturk.
Jointly, in less than two years, they
drove the Greeks out of Anatoia
and Smyrna and in the following
years built modern Turkey. He was
mysteriously benched during Renal
Ataturk's last year, but appeared
at the helm, with power and prestige
unlessened at the latter's death.
For the last two years, Ger

tage in Turkey. The word has
been that the astute President
Inonu has always been a jump
or two ahead of him and that
Turkey hasn't been readied for
! the kill in the manner of other
small powers. The president has
fostered carefully the Turkish
hegemony over the Moslem bloc,
and whenever the Axis powers
kick Islam in the face, his peo-
pie know about it. His alliance
gives England valuable lai-
son with Islam, which may be-
come more and more important
as the war wears on.

seldom get the $35 a week they are
supposed to draw from the treasury.
The Rands readily admitted that
some of the solicitors used assumed
names in their telephone appeals.
A Mr. Wharton identified himself as
Mr.. Black because of possible con-
fusion with ar other solicitor named
Norton" Mr. Norton some times
used the name Of Davis and a Mr..
Kretz told prospects his name was
Mr.. Kelley.
"It was done for the sake Of sim
plicity," explained Mrs. Rand.
AFTER all, it's the work itself and
not the names that matter"
She said the solicitors formerly
worked exclusively from telephones
at the mission in the Southwest,
but this was changed because it
just didn't look so good having all
those men around children's mis-
sion.'

Sheltering Arms has no board of
directors and Its books have never
been audited by a certified public

The books were shown to the re-
porter. who found them difficult to

taken-May s to 13, 1910. In that
week $186.45 in collections were re-
corded, with $40 going for salaries
and commissions and $11.70 for food.
Gasoline and miscellaneous expenses
took up the latter. Food bills, it was
explained, average $12 week.
