IN they will be increasingly
called upon to bear the burden
OF that warfare.
Oh yes. Corvettes Of another
age were cargo ships primarily
and wsrships seeondarily.
They las naval class then1
were flush-deck banks. Their
name Corvette was European
in America later they were
called sloop-of-wsr. They rank
ed. in size and duty, Just below
q frigate.
Used for chasing pirates,
smugglers. privateers. etc, they
had had Just one tier OF can
non ranged along the bulwarks
of the main deck. They were
fast. had relatively small crews,
and carried cargo through block
AIDES or other dangerous waters.
With the aid of an adding
machine and two small boys, we
discovered the other day that
the Observation-Disclosures Steam
ship Co, has a total of q
steamers regularly engaged in
the intercosstal trade. The lines
name, incidentally. was original
ly based upon the sailing ship
route and trade Of the company's
first fleet.
From ski level 10 sea leve"
is the Shibboleth of the Dsffodil-
ly festival.
And we are grstified to note
that things are arranged as they
should be-the sea level portion
is leading the parade.
Sunday the first event of
the weeks hoopla will take
place: A sailboat race staged
by the Tacoma Yacht club.
A traditional event. at 100
a. m. The windjamming yachts
will start from the Old Town
Dock, progressing thence over
the regular triangle TO the
Portacoma piers, thence to the
ManZanita buoy, thence 10 the
finish at the Point Defiance
pavilion.
The events reward is the en-
craving of the winners name on
the silver festival mug-a
thing well worth every effort,
the sailors say. And the mere
watching is usually worth the
looking, the veteran spectators
say.
For some mysteriou. reason
which we've so far been unable
to discover, this year custom
will be forssken 10 the extent
there won't be- a powerboat
parade. If we find out who's
to blame. We'll let you know.
Add statistics: There are now
315.277 numbered motorboats
in the U. s., or 36,500 more than
there were last year at this time.
General increase in the U. S.
was Is per cent. with the Paci-
fic coast right at the national
average. Puget Sound has
1913 craft, which puts her
second only TO New York and
1900 ahead Of the next in line
Baltimore.
1t is estimated that 20 per
cent of numbered motorboats
are used just for pleasure. The
classification. we are reminded,
doesn't include documented for
registered vessels, sailboats. nor
any boats used on land-loclSed
bodies Of water.
Incidentally. the foregoing
gives some clue to the power Of
the vast fleet from which the
Z. S. coast guard and United
States power squadrons draw
their memberships and strength
OF eyes, ears and similar serv-
ices. That's rather comforting.

Dear sir: How's everything

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
AN APPRECIATION

Editor The Times: II was with
a great deal of pleasure that
reviewed the article relative to
conditions in Bremerton as given
in your Tacoma Times Progress
edition, published February 26th.
I can only say that we hold a
deep regard for your paper mas
much as this is the first story
written that has given the true
facts and conditions which exist
here. We have had a great deal
of publicity from Seattle papers
that has gone all over the country
spreading the facts about Bremen
ton in an untrue light.

In the past, exclusive respon-
sibility for passing on the quail
fications of prospective immi-
grants was vested in our consul
lar offices abroad. According to
members of the presidents COM
mittee on political refugees.
the consuls lacked facilities for
adequate investigation of appl-
cants. They are supposed to
have approved papers of fifth
columnists in many instances,
and to have ruled adversely In
worthy cases. Known anti-Nazi
professors, publicists. lawyers
and industrialists were refused
entry, or their documents pigeon
holed for months.
Henceforth. a special section
of the state department staff at
Washington will have final voice
in the matter of granting visas.
II is believed that the transfer
will facilitate the entrance of
deserving persons and bar SYM
psthizers with the Nazi regime.
The number of the latter infil-
trating into this country. legally
and illegally, is understood TO be
larger than the public realizes.

Editor The Times: MAY I be
permitted to submit a question
or two for the consideration Of
those who have a mind to think?
First, l would like TO know IL
a congressman who is elected
on the strength that ne is a
supporter OF the presidential
policy is or is not twofold
doublecrosser - embarrassing
the president on the one hand
and the constituency which
elected him on the other hand,
when he votes against sjor
measures brought forth BY the
president!
Furthermore, can he justify
himself for breaking his pledge
by saying, 'I am not q yes
man? Can an honest man
break his word and election
pledges by such a flimsy ex-
cuse? II so, why do we have
party leaders, II as man is
as an independent that is en-
tirely different from being
elected as the supporter of the
president by the voters who an
nounced their support for the
president.
OF what value is the praise Of
the opposition when they laud
the courage Of the man whom
they opposed because he avowed
himself a supporter of the presi-
dent. Is IL an act of courage TO
doublecross Hitler has that
kind of courage.
think the voters who elect
a man TO support the president
have q right TO expect him TO do
80, in general. He is TO help
the president TO work out his
program. not 10 work against
him. And ! do think that the
man should have sense enough
TO know that when be is flood
ed with letters from those who
were opposed TO the president
that these people being defeated
at the polls sought TO turn de-
feat into victory at the expense
Of the congressman's integrity.

Roosevelt Names New Federal Agency
To Spread Defense Contracts, Jobs

Washington, D. c. Seeking to
spread defense work and to prevent
defense unemployment Pre- d e n
Roosevelt issued an executive order
setting up a division on contract dis
tribution within the OPM and naming
as it's head Floyd B. Odlum, New
York fnancier.
Functions of the new division are
to provide for the more effective use
Of existing plant facilities; to provide
for the conversion into defense pro-
duction of civilian industries affected
by priorities and raw material short
ages; to alleviate unemployment
caused by such priorities and short
ages; to arrange local pooling of fa-
cilities and equipment; to promote
subcontracting and to spread defense
contracts among smaller business en-
terprises in every part of the nation.
The President said the OPM
through it's new division, will be able
more effectively to adjust dislocations
and alleviate unemployment.
This will be done, the President
said, by breaking down large orders
Of supplies, providing assistance in
retraining and unemployment of work

ers discharged because of shutdowns
and shortages, by effective distribu-
tion of defense contracts and by
providing staff of industrial and
production engineers to formulate and
execute specific plans for the CONVEX
sion of non-defense industries.
Though the letting of contracts will
remain in the hands of the army and
navy, the executive order provides for
the assignment of representatives Of
the army, navy and maritime COM
mission to the division.
The order also instructed the direc-
tor of the new division to formulate
and promote specific programs for
the purchase of supplies for the army
and navy in smaller units but among
a greater number of firms and in as
many different localities as possible"
The new division is expected to set
up branch offices, in accordance with
the executive order, to which will be
assigned a representative Of the labor
division of the OPM. The labor divi-
sion representative will cooperate in
efforts to secure unemployment of
workers discharged because of the
defense program.

ment of five-man emergency board

Camden, N. 1.-THE regular meet

Friday, September 19, with a good at
tendance and a very interesting dis
cussion. The group insurance was ex-
planned very ably by an insurance
representative who gave the members
applications.
The conference committee also
stated that time had been granted on
the agreement and wage increase. We
hope they hurry this up little as
the cost of living is rising every day
and the boys state their wives are
having trouble meeting the cost with
the present wages.
We are glad to hear from our other
local friends and the good work they
are doing. Especially would we like
to extend congratulations to Local
Union No. 1873 for the fine job in their
conservation program.
We hope to hear more about the
national sanitary conference the men
are asking for in the near future. We
are behind them 100 per cent.

There were no upsets in the foot
ball world last Saturday, but Du-

thing but good as they defeated
Waynesburg 14-2. Of course that
score is enough to run up on the

ball handling and blocking that made
the experts wonder if the Dukes will
round out as they should.

According to dispatches from the
front lines, Russian troops have at
times actually swept supposedly
crack German divisions back in dis
ordered, flying retreat. That must
have come as terrific shock to Reich
commanders, who were accustomed to
conquests in which the opposition did
practically nothing except surrender.
Those who forecast the swift COL
lapse of Russia when the campaign
began-as did many American officers
and commentators-have red faces
now. 1t is probable that German
losses have been far heavier than the
Russian, and it is certain that Ger
man prestige has suffered immensely
in such more or less on-the-fence
countries as Spain, Turkey and Japan.
If the Allies win this war, Stain will
have plenty to say about the peace
terms.
