 A. No: the statement refers to, the pressure of the air, not It's weight. The tire contains air at as pressure of 30 pounds per square inch. The actual weight of the air depends upon the size of the tire. At normal atmospheric pressure and temperature air weighs. 0osl lb. per cubic foot.

Letter From
Robert j. Malloy
June 8, 1941

Mr.. H. H. Brown,
Sauk Centre, MINI.
Dear Henry:
For the past ten days I have
been in the Loss Angeles and Riv-
erside areas and made several trips
to Camp Haan to see Billy Brown,
Buzz Brown and the rest of the
Sauk Centre boys.
1t is a unique experience even
to visit a modern army camp. To
be soldier in a modern army
camp is like being enrolled at a
streamlined Military School. It is
school with the class room out
in the open-a forest of tents being
the dormitory. a
Camp Haan is located on a vast
level plane covering many square
miles, picturesque at the base of
the lofty San Bernardino Noun
tains. It is but a few miles from
the cities of San Bernardino and
Riverside, the latter city being one
Of the most beautiful cities in the
world. Here in this valley of
orange groves, Eucalyptus and Palm
trees more than 1900 young men,
embryo soldiers, are learning the
lore Of soldier life. Here our Sauk
Centre boys are students.
One can justly be proud of our
Sauk Centre boys. The parents of
these boys would be proud Of them.
Tanned to brown, sturdy, rugged,
heavier, these boys are good to look
at. Whatever may be their inner
most thoughts about the why and
the wherefore Of things they have
entered into the spirit Of the life
and the work. Camp life has been
good to them. They in turn are
being good to camp life. They are
a noble bunch Of boys. The top

had several meals with them
In the mess house. Dinner: roast
beef, done to a turn; steamed po-
tatoes, brown gravy, vegetable sal
ad, very good bread and very good
coffee. Such a meal with many
variations is the fare in camp. Sun
days they can always bet on tur-
key, duck or chicken. Johnnie Du-
Bois is Mess Sergeant. Johnnie
sets up the menu and Johnnie
knows thing or two about good
eats. Depend on Johnnie! His
own added poundage testifies to the
efficacy of his dietary endeavors.
These boys work hard but camp
life has its recreations, its pleas

Czdrind's FaUOrite
artisan Happy Here
Enjoys WPA Job on Metal
Crafts Project.

EAST ST. LOUIS.-William Zan-
der, said to have been at one time
the favorite artisan Of the late car
ina Of Russia, is now supervisor Of
WPA metal crafts project in the
old Douglas school. Zander, who
once directed 400 craftsmen in max
ing an elaborate gate for the win
ter palace Of the czarina, now
teaches 80 WPA men to make fire.
place fixtures for state institutions.
In speaking Of the gate Zander
said: 1T was the biggest Job ever
had. 1t cost nearly $4,000, 900 rubles
and took several months to COM
plete. It had to be perfect in every
detail"
h Despite all the prosperity he en-
joyed during the old days in Russia.
Zander insists he is far happier as
an American citizen. He enjoys
passing on to younger men the art
Of working with ornamental metal.
Zander was born in Esthonia, then
a part Of Russia, in 1873, and was
graduated from the Imperial Arts
school in 1899. After serving as in
structor in the school for three years
he went to Germany in 1905 to prac-
tice his art. During the World war
he was imprisoned in an alien
camp at Eisenbach in Thuringia.
After the war he came to the United
States and was employed by metal
working firms until 1885.
Thrown out Of work, he turned to
WPA for aid and was given a pick
and shovel job with a ditch-digging
gang. Fellow workers visiting his
home were impressed with the iron
candlesticks. lamps and door knock
ers he made and suggested that he
try for a job on a WPA art project
which he did. With the new job
came an increase in wages and
complete happiness to the 62-year-
old artist.

congressional committees to sit

which point he was relieved Of his
job. His weekly check reached %
dollars and some cents at its high
point, he said, in a brief picture
of working conditions. Louis isn't
sorry that he went at all. He lik-
ed the work, it was good exper-
ience, and now he's satisfied for
having tried it.
Complicated process for entering
an airplane factory today was out
lined briefly. At 7:30 in the morn
ing he entered the personnel office
and at 1890 the next morning he
left. Questions ranged from back
ground to technical aspects. They
inquired, upon finding his name
was of German extraction, about
the tenure of the family in this
country. Without a badge of iden-
tification and a certificate one
can't get inside.

had had three offers for jobs here,

Washington: One Of the most
severe indictments which can and
will be made against this National
Administration when the present
emergency is over and we can all
appraise events and happenings a
little more reasonably will be its
unforgivable delay in devising
measures for handling labor rela-
tions in this emergency.
It was clearly apparent a year
ago when the first huge appropria-
tions for defense were passed that
these expenditures undoubtedly
would create problem in labor
relations. It was likewise clear
that speedy, efficient production is
the very heart Of modern defense
and that this objective could be
achieved only by wholehearted CO.
operation of labor, management
and capital.
Government machinery for con-
ciliation and mediation of labor dis
putes without stoppages of produc-
tion was pitifully weak outside the
railway industry. All we had was
the Department of Labor concilia-
ton service, an ineffective Maritime
Labor board and Sidney Hillman's
OPM setup, which functioned in
dependently and did not have the
complete confidence of either labor
or management.
Congressional committees were
told repeatedly by the Administra-
tion that there must be no COM
pulsion on labor, that the problem
was being worked out by voluntary
cooperation, and so on.
Then along came a Northwest
lumber strike in defiance of the
Mediation Board followed quickly
by the North American strike in
California. And the Administra-
ton, disregarding everything it had
been telling the Congress for six
months, took over the plant with
soldiers and broke the strike with
bayonets, applying the most ex-
treme kind of complusion.
I think the President had no al
tentative but to take the action he
did at the North American aviation
plant. But the point I would make
is that If the Administration had
moved itself, or permitted Congress
to move, to develop a fair, clear-cut
policy and set of procedures for
settling labor disputes without
stopping production eight or nine
months ago, the chances are the
extreme action taken in California
would never have been necessary.
Yet the Administration refused
itself to develop any clear-cut def
mite labor policy and consistently
blocked every attempt in that direc-
ton in the Congress. It was not
until March 10, 1941, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt created the Nation
al Defense Board to supplement
the existing conciliation service.
Even after that, the Administra-
ton continued to oppose any leg
islation and made no move toward
unifying all conciliation and media
tion services into one agency, a
move obviously needed badly.
Now the Administration, after
doing nothing for months, seems
determined on the most extreme
kind of action. It opposed my
to the plant seizure bill,
which merely provided that media
ton should be utilized first to settle
a dispute and extreme action TAX
en- only as a last resort. Reports
are it has refused to permit Com
strikers to return to work,
something which a private employ
er could not legally do under the
Wagner act. In the House, an ap-
preparation bill amendment would
blacklist any employee who engag-
