MORE CRACKDOWNS

You can put it down as a certainty
that there will be other OPM crack
downs, In addition to the one on
the Chicago "juke-box" firm, for
"bootlegging" scarce raw materials.
OPM Priorities Director Donald
Nelson said nothing about it, but he
has his gimlet eye fixed on a big
steel plant, an auto manufacturer
and others. Both have been secretly
thunbing their noses at priority re-
strictions.
The auto maker was called on the
carpet by Nelson and spent several
uncomfortable hours trying to ex-
plain the unauthorized purchase of
a large quantity of strategic materi-
ais and the action of parts SUBJ
sidiary selling such supplies.
When the auto executive left OPM
he was red-faced and obviously wor-
ried.
The steel company is suspected OF
secretly filling orders for big GUS
toners in direct violation of defense
requirements, particularly naval. An
investigation is now under way. The
company has long history of bat
ting the government and the fur
will fly if the suspicious are SUBJ
stantiated.'
Note: After Nelson's investigators
finish with their aluminium inquiries,
they will move into chemicals, where
there have been numerous COM
plants of wholesale disregard of pri-
GRITTY orders.

CANAL DEFENSE PLAN UPSET

It isn't going to be announced,
but Nazi propaganda in South Amer
lea has upset U. S. plans for an i'm
portant new base defending the Pan
anna canal. Plans had been care
fully laid for commercial develop
ment of an island off the coast of
Ecuador, to be followed by naval
installations. But genial Jesse Jones
innocently let the cat out of the bag,
and the Germans did the rest.
The island is known as Alder
marie, in the Galapagos group, ly-
ing southwest of Panama, a perfect
location for watching Japanese ma
neuvers near the Pacific entrance of
the canal. To inspect it Roosevelt
went fishing there three years ago,
when the u. S. S. Houston took him
on a Pacific cruise.
Roosevelt had heard about the
Galapagos since childhood. His
great-uncle, Capt. Amasa Delano,
put in at the islands on his voyages
to China. And his mother, as a
young girl, stopped there on a voy-
age to China.
The President personally was re-
sponsible for the strategy of form
ing an American trading company
to develop Albermarle. He knew the
sensitive Latins, knew that a direct
proposal for building a U. S. naval
base would arouse the old enemies
of Yankee Imperialism" and that
the only safe way was to set up a
company for the development of fish
ing and cattle, thus bring the navy
in edgeways.
Accordingly, the Pacific Develop
ment company was formed, incor-
porated in Delaware, and financed
with funds from the RFC. First ii
got a credit of $4,000, but later,
when a credit of half a million was
extended, RFCzar Jesse Jones inno-
Gently announced it to the press.
Jesse Jones' Joke.
Apparently the naval stratagem
was such dark secret that even
Jesse, a member of the cabinet,
didn't know about it. So he an
nounced it as nothing but a CONNER
cial development, because the is
land was owned not by Ecuador
but by a private individual. And
then he added a little Jest of his
own.
"And if you can spell the mans
name" said Jesse, "I'n give you
the island. The name is pronounced
heel
Up spoke a correspondent who
knows Spanish well. 'You spell IT
Gill" he said.
''That's right" said Jones. go
to the head of the class"
"No," said the newsman. 81 want
the island"
'I'n owe you the island" said
Jones, and everybody laughed.
But there was no laughter in the
navy department; for German prop
uganda, through short-wave radio
and local newspapers, stirred up the
old fear of Yankee aggression, in
timating that a U. S. naval base
off the west coast Of South Amer
lea would make little puppets of the
Good Neighbors for all time.
The propaganda was successful,
and the deal had to be cancelled.
It may be that the Pacific Devel-
opment company will still pursue its
livestock, fishing, and mining Of
sulphur" as provided IN the con-
cession, but President Roosevelt S
dream of a Panama defense base is
sunk.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When swarm OF h0neyOees
leaves the old hive, work must be
done toward fitting up new home.
II no clever man comes along to
give the swarm a ready-made home,
a natural hollow in wood or rock
NAV be chosen.
Finding such hollow is only a
small part OF the work. Combs
must be formed from wax, and this
wax must come from the bees
themselves.
Having eaten their fill of honey,
many bees hang from the roof OF
the hive, forming a string. The
forelegs of one bee are clasped
about the hind legs of the one
above Another string starts from
q different point on the ceiling, and
the lowermost bee clings to the
lowermost member of the other
string. In that position they re-
main, usually for a day and night.
While hanging thus, the bees pro-
duce wax. 1t comes from their
abdomens, and they scrape 1t up
with their legs. After it is chewed,
1t Is ready for use in making
combs.
In building a comb, great num-
hefs of bees take part. Some put
the wax In place; others shape it
into cells. The combs are begun

600 eSs s$eo
West opened the singleton ace OF
spades, hoping to find some way to
put his partner on lead in order to
ruff a spade later on. But when
West saw the dummy his heart
sank. There was simply no way to
give East the lead.
Dummy mad the top clubs, and the
queen of diamonds spelled doom to
any attempt in that suit. For .
fleeting moment, West toyed with
the idea OF leading the top dla-
monds in the hope that East could
ruff the third round Of the suit.
But that plan, West soon realized,
was bound TO come TO nothing even
If East happened to have only two
diamonds. For South WAS bound
TO have q five-card heart suit, and
West could see the eight other
hearts in his own hand and the
dummy East couldn't possibly
trump diamonds if he didn't have a
trump in his hand.
Since nothing else had q chance
to succeed. West simply shifted to
the deuce of diamonds! Declarer
had no way of knowing what West
was doing, so he played dummy's
ten of diamonds. East managed
to conceal his surprise when he
found himself winning the trick
with the jack of diamonds: and
Just returned a spade for West TO
ruff. quite as though nothing out
of the ordinary had happened.
At this point West might have
tried to cash both top diamonds
in order to set the contract but ne
feared that South had only one
more diamond tas was actually the
case. Another ruff was needed. so
West calmly led the seven of dia-
mondsl South really should have
put up dummy's queen, but he was
80 convinced that East held at least
one top diamond, that he played
dummy'x low diamond. So East won
with the diamond nine and gave
his partner a second ruff TO defeat
the contract.

MORE DEMOCRACY, NOT LESS

IN THESE TIMES when various proposals are
heard for the curtaiIment of democratic meth
DDS and processes it is well that voices are raised
in militant championship not only of the preser-
vatOn Of democracy but also Of its broadening and
extension. Such q voice is that of the Rev James
Myers, industrial secretary of the Federal COun-
ell of Churches and a man highly regarded by or
ganized labor.
Speaking recently in Buffalo, Mr.. Myers said
that "the precious heritage Of political democracy
is not enough" and added:
Democracy must find expression also in so
cial conditions, in labor relations, and in owner
ship. We do not have a democratic society sc
long as slumS, poverty, sharccroppnG and race
exist, and so long as we are max
ing no plans to solve the unemployment which will
return to plague us after the defense program is
lover. We must have democracy in industrial re
|lations which means labor unions. We must have
democracy in oWnerShp-a widespread ownership
|of industry by the people through co-operatives
and other means.
"In the United States" Mr.. Myers further as
|serted, "we need more democracy, not less. W.
need to encourage the extension Of the principle
Of democracy in the growth of employers associ
lationS farm organizations, labor unions and con
sumner co-operatiVes, and the joint conference o
Those groups for the common good. With Sucl
