ALPHABETICAL FOLLIES

While we're still on the subject of the new al
phabetca defense agencies and their activities early
this month the Office of Emergency Management
(OEND presented the first of its series OF radio
variety shows, designed to acquant the nation OF
loudspeaker listeners with what the nation is doing
in national preparedness
Working on the theory that it takes lot Of
good entertainment o~get Americans TO listen to a
program. the meat Of the show, interview with
Director of Priorties Donald M. Nelson, was sand
wiched in between musical and dramatic numbers
so dial twisters would sit through it to hear what
was yet to come. And of course, only the best
talent was put on the air under the OEM banner.
The show started with the new defense theme
song, Keep En- Rolling, written especially by
Rodgers and Hart. Morton Gould acted as musical
director. Maurice Evans appeared in a dramatic
scene from Maxwell Anderson's play, valley Forge
That little hot number, Ethel Norman, did vocals
Oh yes on the purely educational side of the
program, there also a second interview He
who got interviewed, in this case, Professor
John Albright of the Case School of Applied Sci
ence who told about spider breeding and how spiders
webs used for defense purposes.
Next week, don't fail to hear amazing inter-
view with Dracula who will explain the sinister use
of vampires in Nazi fifth column activites

DEFENSE AND CHRISTMAS

Right on the eve of Christmas the Office of
Production Management tells us that celophane is
to be banned for gift wrappings.
Because the transparent material is made of a
number of chemicals vital in defense industry, Don
aid NJ Nelson, Director of Priorities, has recently
issued limitation order, which names more than
a score of uses for cellophane and prohibits the
continuation of these uses the remainder of the
national emergency.
The order became effective Immediately, but
permits suppliers and their customers to up
existing stocks so probably won't materially affect
the wrappngs of gifts during the 1941 holiday
season.
After the current supply of cellophane sheets is
used up, however there are TO be no more such ma
terials used to package manufacture products in
the following categories
Razor blades, cosmetics and soaps, textiles rub
Der and rubber products hardware metals and sport
ing goods paper and paper products, laundry
candles and wax products, electrical equipment and
decorations and novelties including nodded paper
hats nodded Christmas bells, nodded nower-pot
covers. bows and rosettes, flowers wreaths and gar
lands soda straws ribbons, household rolls and gift
wrappings.
And that's just start The OPM agencies are

OF cellophane the packagng of food products and
tobacco products.
Already the defense chiefs report, liberties have
been taken with the packaging of cigarettes. The
thickness of the tin foil used wrapper has been
halved This move it is reported, freed for the de-
Tense program estimated 10000 tons of lead and
than 400 tons of tin year.
Which probably also means that Juneau folks

vital North African bases to Ger
many.
This State Department blunder
seems almost as tragic as its orig
inal mistake in recognizing the Pc
tain government.
After the fall of France, many
Frenchmen considered P in a
traitor for signing peace with Hit
Ter. They were ready to carry on
the war in North Africa. But they
were completely crushed and dis
illusioned when the State Depart
ment promptly issued statement
praising Petain.
In doing this, the Career Boys
ignored the fact that Petain was the
secret favorite of the French Fa-
scists, the Royalists, and all the
reactionary elements in the complete
antithesis of the New Deal. ~.
Ever since then it has been OBJ
vious that this was one of the most
tragic errors of the war. And now
the British, faced with the probable
ity of the French fleet in the Medi-
terranean, will have to pay the
penalty. Weygand, by the way, re-
signed, and successors were immed-
lately appointed.

PREDICTING NORTH AFRICA

The State Department GREATNESS

between General Weygand, COM
mander of North Africa, and Mar

Vichy.
On General Weygand depended
the success or failure of the State
Departments French appeasement
policy. This policy Of the Career

plies to the French North Africa,
had been one of the most holly

The British vigorously opposed, and
so have some inside the Cabinet.
The appeasement policy was UNI

the charming Mr. Robert Murphy,
Counsel of the American Embassy in
France, who went 20 mass DAILY With
General Weygand.
But the inside reports from France

CAPITAL CHAFF

After Senate passage of neutrality
revision, Senator Tom Connally of
Texas, Chairman of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, received a note
in the Presidents hand, on green
tinted White House Stationery:

lest congratulations" Senate

ator. is popular at Senate ladies'
luncheons for her southern dialect

Senate incident when she took up

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline a
but do not compel"
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 81,

IVY
Benefic aspects dominate today
which should be happy and fortu-
nate for the people of the United
States. Family reunions are under
the most favorable direction of the
stars.
HEART AND HOME: Good news
is indicated as likely to cheer the
people of this country. Letters will
be numerous today and love mis-
sives especially convincing. Women
of all ages are under the kindly
sway of Venus. The signs are pro-
pitious for entertaining and seem
to presage serious spirit under
lying joyous associations. More than
ever before, citizens of the United
States will appreciate the blessings
of liberty and will rejoice in free
dom. Young and old are fortunate
under this configuration which
quickens sympathy and deepens
loving understanding. College stu
dents are under a particularly for
tunate sway.
NATIONAL ISSUES: In the
battles of ideas which mark both
the United States and Great Brit
ain, freedom of speech may reveal
grave dangers Of spreading dissen7
sion among statesmen as well as
labor leaders. The men who carry
the heaviest war responsibilities
should guard against illness, mis-
understanding and unjust judg-
ment. Fifth columnists will be des-
perately active and will seek to
undermine the secret service Or
ganization in Washington, D. c.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S ::
Ireland and India will do more
to aid the British forces than they
have done in the past. They will
add to their measures for self de-
tense and will cooperate in the
Allies war plans, because they Will
realize how much their future de-
ponds upon victory for democracy.
Propaganda, intrigue and sabotage
will increase in Africa and South
America.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augTy of year of pro-
gress and happiness, despite war
conditions. Travel and change are
indicated.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be exceptionally talented
and fortunate. They benefit through
admiring friends and relatives.

Encouraging Initiation
Cincinnati Enol,irer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
The arguments of Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau that taxes must be increased to stave
off initiation could be accepted more readily if the
administration not ignoring the principal threat
of initiation, which is rising prices
For the price-control bill which has emerged
from the House Banking and Currency Committee
cannot be regarded. in any sense, as serious at
tempt to deal with the problem This measure does
no more than provide for the fixing of prices and
rents by the Price Administrator and guarantee the
farmer a price above parity.
Paradoxicaly, the most important prices to
be fixed in any sane and effective "price-control'
machinery not ordinary prices of manufactured
articles. To prevent initiation the two basic things
that must be fixed farm prices and wages
The present bill fixes farm prices only to the
extent that they shall not be allowed to drop below
certain minimum, whereas the real need of course,
is to set maximum. But the only maximum here,
apparently, is the sky itself AS for wages these
exempted entirely from provisions of the bill.
Far from preventing initiation, the bill which
has been offered probably will encourage initiation
it is adopted in its present form. The farmer can
get better and better prices, the wage Garner can
demand higher and higher wages. Inevitably, prices
will have to be revised upward under the pressure
of tnese stimuli. This is exactly what must not
happen.
The thought of price control is repugnant to
most Americans but its necessity is fairly uni
versay accepted. If there is to be price control,
it must be done comageously and thoroughly. This
cannot be achieved unless wages and farm prices
fixed along with other prices and rents.

WALLACE's DRINKING

Henry Wallace has learned to take
a drink-in his hand.
When he first came p on 1.-The
Hill, members of Congress wonder
ed if he would learn to fraternize
like Jack Garner Now, after ten
months, the Vice-President has
earned this appraisal from his COL
leagues in the Senate: Henry is
doing fine, if he would only loosen
up and take drink once in a
while"
The Vice-President takes a cock
tail when drinks are served at a
party. but confines his indulgence
to holding the drink-untouched. He
doesn't like to hurt his hostess feel
ings, but also he doesn't like to
drink.

A one-man campaign to have

other accident occurred there Friday
as further proof of need for correc-

H. st. J. Butler, 1701 Foxhall road,
who lives in terror that an automo-
bile is going to end up in his living

crusader. He has kept letters flow-

official in Washington about the
danger there.
A few weeks ago he received notice
that Capt. H c. Whitehurst, director
Of highways, is preparing maps and
a survey looking toward a public
hearing and condemnation proceed
ings of property needed for widening
the road.
Friday afternoon he got new sup
port for his argument when coupe
crashed into his neXt-door neigh
bors garage and cracked the bricks
almost to the roof

was forced off the road by an auto
