6NA0 AOA HWY GS6AC0DANC 6A' the use of the navy to sweep Ger man raiders from the Atlantic.
 Meantime, the Ohlce of Production Management established a priorities compliance division to crack down on "recalcitrantS" who refuse to CO., operate in conserving materials.
 The aides upon whom President Roosevelt depends for execution of the defense program are demanding legislation to put teeth in price control orders, for authority to seize property needed for defense which cannot otherwise be acquired, and to repeal the prohibition against use of the National Guard and selectees outside the western hemi- sphere. The army also wants auth crity to keep these men in service beyond the one year limit.
 There has been some talk here of rent control in defense areas. Sec retary of Interior Harold l.. Ickes is developing an oil conservation pro- gram apparently headed toward re- strictive regulations of some kind next autumn. National daylight saving time by federal statute has been suggested as a means to con- serve electric power.
 The President is not committed specifically to legislation in further ance of any of these objectives but today's conference may begin to de- velop the scope of regulations the administration contemplates to fur ttler national defense.
 The OPM established the compli- ance section through E. R. Stettin- ius, Jr., priorities director, who put J. L. Martin in charge of the unit.
 Tt is believed" the OPM an- nouncement said, "that careful explanation of the purposes and re- quirements of the provisions to be complied with will settle the aver age case. There will be, however, some recalcitrants and others who will continue to display wilful negli- gence in their efforts to carry on business as usual. The problem of punitive action must, therefore, be considered in such cases.
 Tn the event that efforts to ob- tain voluntary cooperation fail, ac- ton which may be taken include:
 Il. Public statements as to viola tions or evasions which have taken place.
 "2. The restriction of supplies of critical materials until compliance is assured.
 8. Court action to require con- pliance."
 It Is believed that OPM has suf- ficient authority without new legis- lation to enforce its priority orders under the foregoing program. But Leon Henderson, director of the Of flee of Production and Civilian Sup. ply, wants Congress to give hin some statutory substance, his office having been set up without any di. rect enforcement power.
 MT. Roosevelt also is confronted now with decision on a new lend. lease bill, the $7,00o, 100000 appro- prtated last March having beer on the grounds in Cheshire for clambakes will also be made.

Breezing Round New York


Netw York. Dec. 27, i04i--A lit. slrl when asked why she was late for school replied that sine guessed t was because thy started before the got there. Christmas excite- nent had occurred for most of us. There are thousnods of youngsters vho realize festivities started before hey got there. Their plight is not lopeleSS if some inemberfs Of sev- sral organizations learn obout 1t in lime, to arrange parties which soft- youths.
 A charitable organizations offi- cialS tell of Q club that entertained eighty such unfortunates last year immediately after Christmas. A spontaneously formed celebration will Dc held on Monday, December 2eti1 by members of the Sales Evecu- lives Club of New York that will take care of four hundred under privileged children. Every young. ster'g plight will be attested to by the Salvation Army.
 It would Do hard to determine which Sales Executive Club member could Dc credited for suggesting this celebration for heart-heavy little folks. ! heard of it when member Jim Thornton mentioned that dis- appointed youngsters existed lin real life in spite of lavish distribution by charitable people before Christmas Day. He mentioned that Sales Exe- cutive Jim Carroll, managing direc- tor of the Hotel Woodstock at i27 West 43rd Street had volunteered his banquet room if someone else would round out the accoutfementG to R good time for such children.
 When I talked with MT. Carroll te Fi1inlfnized his parts in the affair saying that Ortof Hicks Of the gov. on Seas Film Corporation had made it too easy by volunteering to arrange sound motion pictures to entertain them if there was place to show them that he could not resist the opportunity to be Of service.
 Seemed no time ct all beforc Frank Pita Of the Philadelphia BuI- ietin and members such as Jim Beckhaii, Q. T. Erickson and Harry White, executive Secretary of saleA Executive Club were suggesting ideas that sounded like fun if they could be followed out.
 Music was needed. It seemed na. tglral to get the best One-lnan, team in New York. daston, accordionist with melody enough for . band ct the Monte Carlo Cabaret ct 18th Street and Broadway, was asked to appear. He immediately agreed to get up . little earlier on Monday and do . free show for the children. then sect out to find additional stage talent with the help of his manager, HarTy Nicholson who seems to know every big time act along Broadway.

Republic Steel Corp Berger Manu- featuring Company division heard about this party spirit spreading like wildflre. He threw on a great big log by starting a pool toward forty dollars to pay fares to and from the hotel for the youngsters that the Salvation Army tells us did not have . nickel. Contributors were Robert Steel of Research of America Insti. ute, Conrad Trubenbach, Pery Turnstlle Corporation, Walter To. wen, Placement Co, Fred Hall, Bell & Howell Go, A. P.

Arnold, Underwood Elliott Fisher O., Tracy Higgins of Higgins Ink Go, Thomas Roberts Jr., Eastman Kodak, r. K. Doscher, Lily Tulip Corp, Frank pita, James Thornton and James Beckhafn. It resulted irl generous coperation from men like Eilis Baum of Continental Baking Company who got his company to send over cakes and balloons for every one, John Collins of the Cail- teen Company wilov olunteered "Oh Henry" bars and other Sweetmeats, with J. Howard IT. selby swelling the eatables with NeStie's Candy bars.
 When Mfr. Carroll heard how c gem of thought was swelling to c great big event he ordered New Years decorations to Do put Up ear- Her go that they could Do used for the childrefl's party. He assured the committee that every child would have Horton's leo Cream with that old-fashicned New England cupboard for which the Woodstock has bzeea noted these many years.
 You may recall the story Of the veterinary surgeon who also acted ag chief of police. Each time Q call came through the mans wife used to ask. DO you want my husband as Chief of Police or as Veterinary" "Both" was one startling aIiSwor, i've can't get bulldog to open his mouth; there's Q burgalr in it"
 We needed someone to act as Master of Ceremonies and to be ai1 entertainer of children. The list of men capable of doing both Is very limited because very few M. C.g specialize on trigger thinking and conversation for ages nine to twelve. Long time readers Of this paper may well remember Bob Emery who ct one time had young and old huIl- ming that sonM "TIhe grass ig al. ways 9reener in the other fellows yard", after which he proceeded to make every one quite happy to ac. cot his own backyard and start to do some improving of it from where they stand. Big Brother Bob Emery Is now located in New York with station WOR. watched his per- formance with members of the AEli- erican Legion at Q Christmas party. Then spoke to him about our dual problem. He clneerfully agreed to donate his afternoon time in both capacities.
 Somebody mentioned that t just did not seem like Christmas to nt- tie tots without Tangeginets. An appeal Co George Anderson of Pen- dieton Dudley & Associates resulted in his taking the matter up with the Florida Citrus Commission and ati- other contribution was scored in the interosta 6 osihg Ainericnils who will a0msdAy HATxy Un our nations poe licy og holpaNk one another.
