BY JOHN H. MARTIN,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
PARASITIC "little man with the
big brain" trots into the Ministry
Of Munitions every dawn, racing
against spring and the chance Of
Z big western front offensive.
His hurried look comes from the
fact that 1t costs $4,000 = minute
to put . French infantry regiment
into attack, and he Is responsible for
keeping Frances munitions factories
at the 24-hour-a-day pace producing
the gunpowder and shells that make
up much Of that $1,000.
It is the same hurried look with
which he crammed an 18-month
railroad construction job into three
months for the allies 1918 big push.
and today Armament Minister
Raoul Dautry, dark little 59-year-
old bundle Of energy. is still rated
as one Of the best organizers ON the
scene.
He often puts in II hours . day.
He hires promptly and fires swiftly.
Getting Results.
French leaders say he Is getting
results despite years Of labor trou-
bles, political bonfires which sapped
industrial output and the short time
he has been at the Job.
Mobilization jerked $4,000 men
into uniform at the beginning.
Thousands Of "gunpowder women"
stepped into the places Of men who
left munition factories. They car
ried on the mixing of French "pas-
try"-the batter that is gunpowder
in the making.
Many of the men modified have
returned to their benches, but the
women have stayed on, and more
have been added.
Flares from steel furnaces light
the horizon at night in France from
. Dautry organized plant. Thou
sands of laborers put in q 60-hour
week.
Premier Daladier gave Dautry his
big task in cabinet reshufne short
ly after the war began.
Given Chance by Foch.
In the last war Dautry was In
charge of one district of the French
state railways and was promoted to
take over the Job Of adapting the
French network in the Nord de-
partment to the demands Of the
British Army coming to France.
Next came a big chance. Foch
wanted a strategic railway built to
aid q huge allied push in 1918
Foch asked the army engineers
They said it would take l8 months.
roch asked Dautry. Il can do
better than that" he said, and did.
The railway was ready in three
months. Foch decorated the dark
eyed little organizer at the front in
July. 1918.
After the war Dautry took over
the job of rebuilding railways in
war-devastated areas. Then Premier
Tardieu made him director general
of the state railways. Trains ran
ION time and workers efficiency
jumped to new levels.

READING, Pa, March 16.-A
pledge made 4s years ago to a one
time saloonkeeper takes . church
musician back to Z lonely grave
yard again tomorrow night for an
other st. Patrick's Day rendezvous
with the long dead Of Neversink
Mountain.
There in little cemetery high
on the mountains slope Alvah C..
Schaeffer will stand with barred head
while two cornetists play Lass O.
Galway" and Nearer MY God to
Thee" over the grave Of his good
Irish friend, Tom Hannahoe.
Mr.. Schaeffer, "a today, hasn't
failed once in fulfilling the pact he
made back in 1897 with Mr.. Hanna
hoe, former proprietor of the STARS
and Stripes" saloon and mayor of
Readings Irishtown."
The melodies that will float over
the mountain tomorrow night were
Mr.. Hannahoe's favorites. He taught
Mr.. Schaeffer to play them on a
cornet and told him:
IF I die first, you play the tunes
Evening star., 1940-03-16

over my grave on st. Patrick's Day,
but If you die first III keep the grass
forever green over your grave and
put a shamrock on it every year"
Mr.. Hannahoe died = year later.
Mr.. Schaeffer's fingers now are too
gnarled by rheumatism to work the
stops on his cornet himself and 4
younger musician substitutes for
him. This year, because st. Patrick's
Day and Palm Sunday fall on the
same date, there will be a duet
played by Mr.. Schaeffer's stand-in,
q band leader, and an 11-year-old
pupil.
1t has not always been easy to
keep the pledge. Once, Mr.. Schaef-
fer had to wade through snow waist
deep to reach the cemetery. And
each year he wonders II it will be
the last.
Il just can't tell you," he says,
"how many more times III be able
to 60 out there"

NEW YORK, March 16.-It's not
for any man to say for certain, but
Leprechauns sporting on the slopes
OF Slemish near Ballymena might
dream Of no braver showing than
the st. Patrick's Day parade that
moves up Fifth avenue today.
With lashings Of color and flying
banners and slithering and shufn-
ing of feet they come, the braying
trumpets and the skirling pipes sing
ing praises to that son of Calphur-
MUS and Conchessa, the great and
glorious Patrick.
A man with half q groatsworth Of
wit would see what q proud race 1t
was from the island of the Colleen
Bawn and Waddler Healy, old Ben
Roe and Soggarth Eoghan O'Grow-
ney.
And maybe himself in spirit, the
saint, would be remembering when
he landed at the mouth Of the
Vantry River close by wicklow Head
to meet the pagan magicians with
their dark incantations and himself
calling out a prayer against the
spells Of women, and Smiths, and
Druids.

Ruddy, daughters of the monarch,
come to bathe in the clear fountain
of Clebach.
The calendar says tomorrow is st.
Patrick's Day, but that also is Palm
Sunday and so Gov. Lehman has
proclaimed today for the Irish to
march, mayhap $4,000 of them with
100 bands to keep them in step.
Proud Day for Irish.
TITS a proud day for the Irish"
said John ]. Sheahan, chairman of
the celebration which was held as
usual under the auspices of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians Of
Greater New York, the friends of
Irish freedom, the Clan-Na- Gael,
the Cumann Ma mBan and kindred
Irish societies.
At st. Patrick's Cathedral Arch
bishop Francis J. Spellman and
Bishop Stephen ]. Donahue and
other churchmen review them, and
farther uptown city and State dig
nitaries are on hand to review them,
too.
So with songs of Mother Ma
chree" and Rose of Tralee" and the
Kerryman's dance and other lively
airs they march.
A proud day, indeed.

They recall that Irish workers
who built a railroad through
this section more than so years
ago found fields green with
clover and were reminded of
the shamrocks of the "ould
sod"
When the railroad was I'M
