Many of the veterans reported
that their children are coming
home from school each day filled
with enthusiasm over the job they
have assumed of getting their
parents to the polls at the forth
coming municipal election.
The members of Cadillac Post
do not come from one particular
section OF the city.
The majority, are business ex-
ecutives or professional men,
whose Offices are downtown, but
who live in various districts. Their
children are representative of
more than a score of different ele-
\ mentary schools and from all OF
)these schools has come the appeal
TO vote on election day.
Prominent in Cadillac Post af-
fairs is Frederick r. Bolton,

gion. who in his official capacity
and also as principal of the Bar

that IL is helping train the youth

citizens of the nation such as

Joseph F. Rummel Of New Orleans:
editor Hamilton Fish Armstrong,
and many others. This committee
after careful Investigation reco-
mmended that 651 professors,
church-men and former govern
ment officials from Austria. France
and Czechoslovakia be admitted to
this country. However, when this
list came before Mr.. Warren and
his consuls abroad only a pitifuI
handful-less than a score-were
given visas.
Midway between Welles of OxOn
Hills and Warren or leicester
stands "Breck" Long, st. Louis
born, who moved here with his
wealthy wife during the Wilson
administration and acquired a
palatial estate along the Defense
Highway.
"Breck" is one of the sweetest
persons in the State Department.
He is even-tempered, likeable and
charming. But he has the back
bone of a willow tree. 1t was
Sumner Welles who brought Breck
into the State Department. Now,
however, as Assistant Secretary
Mr.. Long is inclined to side against
his old friend and with Warren in
the refugee problem.
Conferences between the three
Marylanders are interesting. Wells
talks to Brock Long in the most
kindly, even paternalistic, manner.
1t is almost as if Long was fresh
man in college and Welles a senior.
There is a hurt tone in Welles' voice
when he says:
But Breck, only fifteen refugees
admitted in two and half months,
out of 651? How do you explain
that?"
The refugee problem continues

cal business men and manufac-
turers. are starting out the New
Year firmly convinced that 1941
will go down in history as the
greatest, from the standpoint of
business, since World War No. /.
With billions being spent by the
Government for defense. the big
question confronting business is
whether or not they can obtain
materials in sufficient quantities.
and, along with that, the required
number Of skilled workmen to take
care Of the huge volume.
HagerstoWn during the past three
months has been experiencing a
small "boom" in several of the
more important plants manufac-
turing National Defense equipment.
but the next twelve months-the
most important in the history of the
cOuntry-will find practically all
the plants operating at capacity, and
many on a 24-hour basis.

ton will emerge as the top" in
dustry in Hagerstown. The COM
panys new plant will mean employ
ment for not less than 1000 addi-
tiOnal employees, and perhaps
more depending on the progress
of the war. In order that there
shall be no "bOttleneck' in the en-
ployment of competent workmen,
the Government this month will
start vocational training classes in
HagerstoWn for 1900 young men,
who, upon completion of their
courses, will be assigned to this
and various other industries en-
gagged in National Defense Work.
President Roosevelt's Call to
the Nation" for greater efforts on
behalf of labor and industry is
only the beginning of a drive to
put this country into it's diversi-
fled industries, will play an i'm
IpOrtant part in this great defense
program. While it is generally not
known a score of local plants will
soon be awarded contracts for vari-
Gus articles, ranging from socks to
more and still more airplanes.
1t is the firm opinion of many
manufacturers that 1941 will see
less unemployment than at any time
since the depression, and it is not
unlikely that in order to increase
production, additional buildings
will be erected by many Of the
local concerns. With more men and
women going to work, merchants
are likewise anticipating a greater
volume of sales for the year, and
the result of this will be more
money in circulation and general
prosperity for all.

: MARYLAND MERRy-GO-ROUND

Washington d. C. Jan 3 -
One Of the most tho1.ny prob
lens facing the State Department
today is that Of the many political
refugees desiring to come to the
United States. They include Cath
olics, Jews, Professionals, political
leaders, many in danger of concern
tratiOn camps or even death.
It also happens that this prob
lem is almost exclusively in the
hands Of three Marylanders: Under
Secretary of State Wells of OXOn
Hill; Assistant Secretary Brecken-
ridge Long of Laurel; and Ayra
Warren, the only native Marylander
who was born in leicester.
Among these three Marylander
there happens to be some disagree
ment. Warren, who is head Of the
visa office, is one of the most
likeable young men in the State
Department. He can win any heart,
but apparently his heart is not
won by those in danger Of political
persecution abroad, unless perhaps
it be the Czech shoe workers which
he permitted to enter the United
States to work in the Bata Plant,
and who have since been deported
by the Justice Department as un-
Idesirables.
Mr.. Warren, therefore, looks at
| the problem of refugees with a
coldly legalistic eye. Sumner Wells
is just the opposite. He believes
that providing these refugees do
not become public charges or take
jobs away from American labor or
constitute NaZi-Communist in
fluence in the United States, they
should be given every consideration.

If and when any citizen of the
State of Maryland decides to
dig down into the bag of appoint
ments made by Governor Herbert
O'Conor for the purpose of CLASH
flying them as to their quaIifa
cations the name of Joe Mish
will be placed at the top of the
list. 1t certainly couldn't have
been a more popular choice, and
as far as we are concerned, the
local lawyer is made to order for
the Judgeship.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1941-01-03

The toughest job any elected
official has is the making of op-
pointments. Usually ten or more
applicants are pulling at his coat
tails and when one is selected
the other nine grab their dolls
and proceed to suIk in the corner.
But this appointment was diff
ferent-the Governor hit the
popularity Jackpot, and I'm still
trying to find single person to
say it wasn't tops" The Cover
nor is to be congratulated on
his judgment and we're putting
him right up there at the head
of the class on this one.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1941-01-03

The fact that everyone seems
pleased with this appointment is
a high compliment to the new
Judge. His elevation to the Bench
will guarantee the continuation
of judicial honesty, and sincerity.
1t will be a source Of satisfaction
to know that the new judge is
noted for using good, oId-fashion-
ed common sense, which after all,
is the foundation of all the law
books ever printed.

I'm not aIIergic to predictions,
but I'm making this one for the

a good, substantial, conscientious
and fair judge, and the Governor
will be rewarded by the reaIiza-
ton that he has made one of the
very best appointments since he
became Chief Executive of the
Free State.
Rumors that this and that
candidate has the support of the

NOR the laugh. Leaders of the
organization are too smart and
much too experienced in the
Great National Game to go out
on limb in any city primary
fight. Surprises are still found
in the best of regulated CAM
paigns and the battle of 1o41 is
no exception. AS a matter of
