Auto Salesman

OPM Director Bill Knudsen hasn't lost the knack of salesman ship since going to work for the government as S1-a-yearman. The former General Motors presi dent recently sold a used car to Donald Nelson, OPM purchasinf chief. However, Knudsen credits his amiable chauffeur, Bob, with an assist" on the sale.
 Knudsen drives shiny Cadil- lac sedan, which he usually turns back to General Motors after it has gone 5000 miles and gets a new one. The other day he was giving Nelson a lift down town when the chauffeur noted that the speedometer had reached the 5,000-mile mark.
 T guess we'll have to return this buggy, MT. Knudsen," said Bob, sadly, "and l sure hate to lose it. It's the best car I've ever driven. Handles like dream and the motors perfect. Why don't you buy it, MT. Nelson
 Say, that's an idea" broke in Knudsen. "You need car, Don, and you can't do better than this one. I'l make the price right"
 The OPM boss mentioned a figure.
 Its a deal" said Nelson, add ing with a grin; But remember, l demand the usual 90-day guar antee."

2 REPORTED ILL WITH
 SMALLPOX AT ANCHORAGE

Two cases of smallpox were re ported on the outskirts of An chorage last week and the city health officer immediately urged vaccination for all persons to pre- vent a spread of the disease.
 Coming a week before the op- ening of school, arrangements were made for careful enforce ment of regulations forbidding unvacinated children to enroll for classes.
 pr. Harold Sogn, city health officer, said there was no cause for alarm as the two cases had been quarantined and all presons in contact with them have been vainated. He said the original case came from out of Anchorage and has ben in the vicinity for only short time.
 At the same time, it was point ed out that smallpox is highly contagious and may strike un- vaccinated persons of all ages. Occasionally those who have been vaccinated contract it but for them it is in mild form and never fatal. To be effective, the vaccination shoul be repeated ev cry five years.
 Beause of the imumnization program conducted in Anchorage last February, most of the chill dren in the city are reported to be safe from smallpox and diph- theria, but there are some who did not undergo the treatment.
 Any person developing a rash should seek medical attention i'm mediately and avoid exposing other persons. Smallpox usually develops in g to 21 days after ex- posture. Common symptoms are chills, headache, sever pains in the back, vomiting, rapid pulse and quick rise in temperature. These precede the rash.

New Explosive?

Science, like the national debt, is making progress, though nov ing less rapidly. After at least a decade of research and experi- ment, a manufacturer exhibits a mar having a body made of plas- tics, and as durable as steel. More sensational is the alleged approach to perfection of tightly censored explosive so powerful that a ten or fiften pound chunk of it will blast out hole twenty five miles in diameter and a mile deep, every building within a radius of hundred miles going down for the count. Such sub stance ould be put to good use right now, but until a fair sized excavation actually has been made by bomb no larger than a mustard seed, most persons will be inclined to claim residence in Missouri.

NOME RED CROSS
 PACKAGE IS READY

Throughout the summer, many women in Nome, as elsewhere over the country, have been busy sewing and knitting with mat erials that have been donated for use in the American Wo- men's Volunteer Services.
 The Nome Unit now has an- other box ready for shipment to Juneau where the garments will be repacked and sent with others 10 England. In the box are 6 nightgowns, l pair socks, ? two piece children's sets, three piece hildren's sets, l sweater, l pair mittens. This brings the total number of garments ship ped this season to 72. Approxi- mately $50 worth of yarn has been used in these garments, as well as some which has been donated.
 This activity is not to be con- fused with the knitting and sew ing which is being done for the American Red Cross with mater ials furnished by that organiza- tion. However, many people are sewing for both causes. The group which has been meeting once a week at the Territorial school will continue their work, sewing in the home economies room on Saturday afternoons at one o'clock instead of on Thurs days.
 A shipment of Red Cross mater ials is expected on the Suther- land. It will include 86 pounds of yarn and 43 yards of cloth to be made up into Women's dresses. All women of the community who are interested in these re- lief projects are invited to join the group next Saturday, Sep tember 13. Sewing is in charge of Mrs. Andrew Nerland and the knitting is under the direction of Mrs. A. Polet.

Agentina Press Rebuffed

Another good friend of the United States in Latin America is the powerful newspaper, La Ma cion, in Buenos Aire. It has been a vigorous opponent of Hitler and a strong friend of the Unit ed States. It exercises tremen- dous influence throughout South America. In midsummer La Ma cion needed to repair it's type, asked to buy a small amount of zinc in the United States. But SC far General Maxwell has not cut red tape sufficiently to permit the zinc to move. The State De partment has been dinning al him. The Argentine Embassy has been requesting speed. But no- thing has happened.
 Thus we promote Latin Ameri- can good will at present.
 NOTE: Argentine packers have large orders from U. s. firms for canned beef. But, because of ob- structions here, the packers can't get the necessary tin cans to fill the orders. Naturally this does not endear the U. S. to Argentine business men.

Current Comments From Washington

The text of the Anglo-Ameri- Can concord was so lucid, and the radio commentators who fol- lowed the London speaker cover- cd the ground so thoroughly, that there is little to be added The agreement did not go nearly so far as the average listener ex- pected. It was simp y summing up and a specialization of what had been said already, just as the Ten Commandments swept together in concrete form, rules of action that had long been re- garded as sound. The enforce ment of the terms of the agree ment is long way off. and the way leading thither will be hard to travel.

THE WASHINGTON MERRF-G0-R0UND
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen


 WASHINGTON - For eight long years the United States has been striving to build up the Good Neighbor policy. It has urg ed American business men to give more attention to Latin Am erica, has besought Latin Ameri- cans to buy more goods from the United States, has extended half a billion dollars worth of ere dits to Latin American govern ments in this country.
 But in few short weeks a few red tape minded bureaucrats have virtually undone all this 8- years endeavor. Thanks to Ex- port Control, thousands of Latin American orders for U. s. goods are blocked.
 While on the fifth floor of the Comerce Department, Secretary Jesse Jones extends millions Tn credits to Latin American gov ernments to buy U. s, goods, on the first floor of the Commerce Department Brigadier General Russell L. Maxwell, who runs the office of Export Control, pre- vents those goods from being shipped
 For instance, the State Depart ment, after months of diplomatic dickering, arranged with Brazil to establish important air bases in the bulge of Brazil opposite the vital air route by which Hit Ter could attack from Dakar, West Africa Brazil, though a warm friend of the United Stat es. was not superenthusiastic about there air bases because no government welcomes foreign military establishments on its own soil. Nevertheless, Brazil consented.
 Simultaneously and to aid the United States in estab fishing these bases, Brazil consented to biuld strategic highways to these airdromes in the heart of the jungle. To build these roads Bra gil needed road-building machin- cry. Through credits extended by Jesse Jones, bulldozers, trac- tors. etc. were ordered from h. ternational Harvester Company.
 This order was placed last spring but so far Brigadier Gen eral Maxwell has not permitted the machinery to move. With one stroke of the pen he has undone all the diplomatic negotiations with Brazil.
 NOTE:-In another instance of this kind. S72,000 worth of TINT ordered by Argentina and ready 10 be loaded on a ship dispatch ed specially for this purpose was directed elsewhere. Finally, just es the ship was getting ready to leave empty-handed, the British made available a quantity of TINT that they were about to ship to England.

essary for National Defense, but much of it is plain, ordinary red tape which could be cut by any ore save tapfe-Worshiping Gen. eral Maxwell.
 General Maxwell is a regular army officer who takes great pains to impress upon other gov ernment officials the fact that he reports only to the President of the United States and can slip in and out of the White House like an animated shuttlecock.
 Result of General MaXwells activities is two fo d:
 CD A number of American firms are doing business through branches in Canada. Canada has no export regultions on ship ments to South America, so U. s. firms ship to Canada, then to South America. Thus our export restrictions intended to help Brit ain are being circumvented in ritish territory.
 CD Latin American govern ments are tending to adopt the same technique which we and they so severly criticized on the part of the Soviet government They are pooling all purchases from te United States. Thus in- stead of one company's ordering direct from New York, all com panies in Latin American coun try will order through a govern ment agency. This is done on the direct suggestion of the U. s. State Department so it will not have to pass upon the relative merits of, for instance, zinc to La Nacion as against great paper, La Nacion as against zinc to an- other great paper, La Prensa.
 Nevertheless, this sytem, if car ried on after the war, will set up Soviet" buying agencies where by Latin American governments can pool purchases from Japan, Germany, or whichever country gives them the cheapest price, in stead of old-fashioned purchases direct between firm and firm.
 Several South American coun- tries also have been quietly con- sidering setting up government import monopolies by means of which they could bar all U. S.. goods unless the U. s. supplies them with the requirements they wanted.
 NOTE:- Close to $170,000,000 worth of defense and non-de- fenSe orders from Latin Ameri- ca have been tied up on one ground or another. Practically all of these orders were financed out of the S473, 100000 so far loan ed South American countries by the U. s. to promote inter-hemi- spheric trade and defense.

Perhaps the foregoing words about the roughness of the road might better have been left un- printed, since nothing would p ease MT. Hitler so perfectly as 10 have the rest of the world pause and consider, while he forges ahead. Yet the potential ities at his command are enor- nous. With rural Europe con- verted into one big German farm, and industrial Europe turn ed into one big German work shop, the Nazis can fight for a long time. Maybe the strongest assisting force toward Hitler's downfall resides in the possibil- ity of insurrection and rebellion, in the Fatherland itself, in con- quered lands, or in both.

The foundation for such move ment must be a reasonable hope of success. It lies within the pow CT of democracies to lay founda tion of that kind, and to build upon it. They had better fall to work, and with speed, even though, in the trend of events, some of the structure has to be torn down and rebuilt. Freedom and liberty are more than plea sant generalizations, to be trot- ted out once year by the Fourth of July orator. As to the truth of that statement, let the individual Hollander, Belgian or Pole be called as a witness.

Increasing National Debt

The national debt is said to be increasing at the rate of $277 per second. If the outlay were represented by autos of the bet ter grade, they would ome honk- ing out of the plant at the rate of twelve per minute, day and night, and some fast driving Wou d have to be done in order to avoid a traffic jam. That de- fense work does not lag is made manifest by the fact that the pres ent outlay for that purpose is represented with a fair degree of accuracy blythe easily remember ed jingle; A billion and and a half in a month and a half.

The rapid rise in the national debt was caused, to some extent, by large sales of defense bonds during the period mentioned. A contributing factor was the sell ing of certificates to be used in the payment of taxes. It might seem that paper of that kind should not be considered as a federal burden, since it will be turned in as the taxes fall due, but the contemplated system is, not to tear up the tax notes and forget it," but to replace them by bonds or other evidence of indebtedness.

Commissioners
Appropriate More
Funds For School
Allot $4,000 Additional
Construction Funds In Lieu
Of Defense. w. E. Jobes
Named

An additional $4,000 for school
construction made necessary by in
creased costs due to defense con-
ditions was appropriated this week
by the Montgomery County Com
missioners.
The resolution pointed out that
the board of education has found
the $635,1OO, previously appro-
priated not enough for a two-year
program because of defense costs
and that an additional $25, 1000
probably will be required to COM
plete the program.
The funds are authorized but
will not be paid over to the board
Of education until they are needed
for construction while the board
will endeavor to hold down the
costs below that figure if possible.
The commissioners appointed
Thomas Davis of Four Corners as
bookkeeper for the liquor dispen-
sary system and increased the sal
airy of Glenn Slicer, chief book
keeper, SIS a month. Resignation
of Charles B. Buscher, assistant
accountant, who is joining the
navy, was accepted.
The commissioners denied two
applications to hold turkey shoots
on Sunday. A contract for storm
sewer construction on Pearl street,
Bethesda, was awarded to Eyre &
Smallwood, of Silver Spring, whose
bid of $2395,was lowest Of three
submitted.
Mrs. Harriet Griffith, case work.
Ell for the board, reported she
spent $278.78 and collected $483.91
in the month of October.
The board was informed by Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'Conor that he
had appointed William E. Jobes,
of Bethesda, to act as committing
magistrate amt the Bethesda police
station.
Commissioner r. w. Farmer will
act as president of the board dur
ing the two-weeks vacation of

CREDIT GROUPS
ADVANCE LARGE
FUNDS TO FARMERS

In issuing statement regard
ing credit production groups, Wal
ter D. Bromley, secretary-treasur-
er of the Frederick Production As
ISOLATION said: Funds amounting
to over 81 100000 to produce food
for freedom have already been ad-
vanced to farmers by Production
Credit Associations in the Second
Farm Credit district which in
cludes Maryland.
Each month since July has seen
the amounts larger than the pre-
ceeding month until the total at
the end of October was $1,107, 975.-
65.
The associations in Maryland
have furnished their members with
$158,857.69 of this amount, of
which the Frederick Production
Association furnished $85,212.19
to its members in the counties of
Frederick, Carroll, Montgomery
and Washington.
Although feed supplies are
scarce in many sections as a result
of dry weather last summer, the
major portion of the production
credit went to buy equipment or
additional animals including dairy
cows and poultry.
Even so, these figures represent
only little over eight percent of
the total funds advanced this year
by the Associations to their $4,000
members in Maryland, Delaware,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia and Puerto Rico.
The balance was used in the nor
NAL operation Of the farms to en-
able the purchasers of supplies and
equipment to stay on a "cash basis"
although not necessarily to produce
additional food supplies"
