A MARANTO pitifully sheds
"a a tear over the fate of the
poor publishers. editors and
scribes who. he thinks. are

"The day will come" he

Maranto's wild assertions are
not difficult TO interpret. They
are a familiar echo of Hitler's

oy IiOoh .. oOkhINSoON
THIS column has been accused
- by some of its best custom
ers of nostalgia or too much
yearning toward World War
precedents and experiences in
mobilizing American industry
and man-power for defense.
Sometimes from the hostiles
this criticism takes the angle
that the nostalgia" is for
government job on the defense
front.
More frequently it is from
sincere and understanding per-
sonal friends, and is that too
much emphasis is put on mobi-
lization principles and expert
ences % years old and that, like
"a quail a day for 80 days" it
get too monotonous for the
readers relish.
This isn't written in rebuttal.
There is a lot more than meets
the eye in the trade axiom "the
customer is always right" Fur
thermore. if anybody desperately
needs the advice and even edit
ing of proved friends, il is
guy in this queer trade of daily
columnar kbitzing.
Consideration of the mistakes
of judgment that have been
made in this space that could
have been avoided by merely
asking some wise friends to read
the manuscript produces bushes
or shivers or goose-pimples-or
something. Usually there isn't
time, or the fear of becoming a
pest prevents.
DAN letters are always well
come. but they do not help
too much. It requires a con-
siderable emotion to overcome
the universal human inertia and
result in a letter-either of
Pegler's "dear-sir-you-cur" va
riety on the one hand. or "you-
Observation-Disclosures" on the
other.
Most fan letters are inspired
either by anger or ecstasy and
neither is a very good guide.
No, this column is not in re-
buttal of any of these criticisms
about nostalgia. 1t is just to
talk some of them over.
AS to nostalgia for a Job.
That isn't good sense. Any man
would like again to have some
active part in a great national
effort in crisis, but that natu-
raj wish was abandoned long
ago.
Quite UNDERSTANDABLE, this adj
ministration would not seek out
a critic for any more important
job than janitor in its dog-house.
1t is not to be blamed for that.
Any other course would be bad.
1t wouldn't make for harmony.
IN THE other hand, the adj
" ministration has shown
great consideration and re-
straint. This column could have
been silenced any day. without
justifiable criticism from any
source, by simply calling its con-
ductor to active service as re-
serve officer-a course which
would also have put him in a
considerable financial cramp and
could have resulted in no more
interesting employment than
counting cocoanuts at San Juan
de BAG BAG.
AS to nostalgia for World
War methods of mobilization,
they were adopted for man.

ton. the President is reported to
have said of the war depart
ment's plan (Which followed our

U. S. Speeds
New Se+up in
Air Board
Growing LIST Of Crashes
Called Responsible
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON. March T.
w Another reorganization is
coming in the civil aeronautics
board.s While several investiga-
tons of the recent series of
aviation accidents are under
way, certain authorities in or
close to the CAB are working
out changes to streamline the
present admittedly unsatisfac-
tory setup.
Mind you. IL is not being adj
mitted officially or unofficially
that the CAB is responsible for
the series of crashes. But here
is the evidence:
For II months up to Aug. 81,
1910. under the old civil aero
nautlcs authority, not a fatal
commercial air accident had &C.
Cured in the United States. In
seven months under this mex
plicable new CAB, 5 fata !
crashes have occurred, killing
54 persons. IA crew members,
40 passengers. including one
senator and one congressman
THE old successful CAA func-
l. toned independently of gov
eminent departments with a
separate safety board. The new
CAB functions halfway or more
under the commerce department
with a safety bureau composed
of its own members. An adj
ministrator of the commerce de-
partment is supposed to do the
work, but is not member of
the CAB.
You will not have to press
many officials around there very
hard to get an admission that
the new system is worse than
the old.
Objective expert opinion in the
aviation trade does not, however,
fully hold with Senator McCar-
ran that the new regime pro-
NOTED "legalized murder" 1t
does convincingly support the
theory that the change caused
confusion. loss of morale and
carelessness among pilots and
government inspectors.
TIIE CAB is theoretically oper-
L ating under the same regula-
tions and approximately with
the same personnel as the old
CAA, but even some friends of
CAB now admit under their
mustaches they are just getting
the new order functioning well.
1t is fairly clear also that
while the change was devised in
the budget bureau to save money
and approved by Mr.. Roosevelt
for that purpose, it is probably
now costing more than the old
CAA.
AS a result, an inside race is
developing between Congress and
the executive aviation officials
to see who can correct the situ-
alton first.
THE barn door was locked on
L the Atlanta crash within "a
hours after the accident &C.
Cured. Regulations had previ-
ously allowed a pilot to come in
if the ceiling was 300 feet, with
visibility of mile. 1t was
exactly that the night of the
accident. Next day the CAB
safety bureau ordered the cell
ing limit raised to 500 feet.
IF YOU think it capricious for
i the AFL unions to strike at
Wright Field, O.. and in Texas
merely because they found the
presence of CLIO men or ma
terials uncongenial, you should
hear what Assistant Attorney
General Thurman Arnold found
in New York.
A group of 10 persons there
secured an AFL charter to or
ganize lumber yards. The 10
men appointed a president for
five years without election. They
did not try to persuade workers
to join. They made contracts
with the yards. requiring the
employees to pay their dues.

He sharpened his plans. He'd plant
wire loops around every pit Not even
the Okapi could break that strong
wire
"Ill make notches in the wire"
he decided. That way, once the moose
is pulled tight, a notch will catch and
keep it closed"
There came to his mind something a
pygmy had told him: how Okapis
craved salt and could only get crude
form of it by licking a certain mud
that exudes potassium.
"Ill bait the trap with real salt"

the Okapi had stepped with his fore
feet on the tlimsy masking of a pit
and jumped back quickly enough to
save himself. Sometimes, after that.
they found his tracks completely
circling pit-intentionally, it seemed
to Steve, to taunt him.
Steve was beginning to see red.
Then he got the idea of the wire nooses.
He would have to make a trip to the
nearest government post to get the
wire, a days march to the road where
he kept his decrepit car, then hun
dred kilometers to the post But he was
pleased when he got there, for the
store had just the wire he needed.

Steve chuckled. That ought to fetch
him.
! HE Okapi moved warlly now IN the
vicinity of the plantation. The white
man had trailed him. The black men
had hunted him. Pits and snares had
been devised to catch him. He could
have gone away. deep into the main
Jungle where no one would follow
him, but he liked his habits, and he
felt no fear
On the first morning that he found
the salt. he stopped short. His sensi-
tive nostrlls brought him the scent
of that which had the best of all
tastes, but stronger, more distinct
than it had ever smelt before. He
looked susplciously around him.
Nothing unusual was there except the
salt
His senses tingling, he advanced
slowly, put out a foreleg, tested the
ground around the salt. 1t was solid.
Cautiously he scraped toward him
the leaves on which the salt rested.
Nothing happened. Quickly his long
tongue shot out and Tapped in the
delicious substance.
This prudent procedure he fol-
lowed wherever he found salt But
day after day passed. In the morning,
the salt was always there. on one of
his paths or another. Nothing overt
occurred when he ate it. He began to
relax his vigilance. Then one after
noon, when he had savored a few
stimulating grains and taken a slow
step forward - with no warning, in
expllcably, his right hind leg was
jerked out from under him.
He fell heavily, dazed. For seconds
he lay immobile, his senses height
ened, his wits braced to cope with
whatever attack might come Then
he slowly raised his head and looked
dl Hio lcs' iiS ilo'eu IL tentatively.
1t was not hurt; it was only lmpris-
oned
He bent his long giraffine neck
back until his muzzle touched the
wire, and his delicate nostrils found
on it the mingled scents of the white
man and the blacks.
Fury rose in him. He raised himself
on his forelegs, got purchase with
his left hind leg, and kicked with all
his strength. A sharp pain cut his

ankle, a swapping sound wounded his
ears - but he was free.
COntemptuous of the burning pain,
he charged headlong into the vegeta-
ton. wreaking his outraged anger
upon every bush and sapling, tough
llama, matted mass of vines and creep
ers that barred his path, battering,
slashing, crashing through every OBJ
stacle
That night he came back to the
nursery. His blue eyes were CLASSY
with rage. his big ears pinned back
fiat against his head. He did not eat
the seedlings this time. He trampled
the beds, savagely and thoroughly.
Steve was still examining the total

Englishman insisted on going along.
and at the first light OF dawn the next
morning they set out ..
That day the Okapi browsed peace
fully He knew that men were about,
for he had picked up their scent. But
they had not yet approached him. and
although he kept his senses alert, he
felt no urgency.
Sunlight filtered down through the
green dome above him, and lay IN
dappled patterns on his rich red coat,
still damp from his mornings bath.
The leaves he munched were tender
and juicy. A sense of well-being per-
meated him, and he switched jauntily
his short. black-tasseled tail
Presently the sound of diffused
movements reached him, and he
cooked an ear attentively. An instinct
warned him to get away from this
strange activity of men, but he hesi-
tated. This pasture was pleasant. He
was match for any creature. He
tossed his head and stamped with
stiff foreleg on the ground. Then he
reached for another Clump of luscious
leaves.
From behind him, and still far
away, new sound came - the fiat
clack- -clack of the wooden bell that
the pygmy dog wears around his
neck to guide his master on the chase.
The Okapi froze. He knew that sound.
The little men who know the jungle,
who hunt ruthlessly with dogs, were
near
INSTANTLY the Okapi knew that he
had tarried too long; knew, too. that
these were foes to test the utmost Of
his cunning. He must make at once for
the main jungle, over the hidden pas
sage through the swamp.
Soundlessly he glided forward. He
moved now like a shadow, and eau
tiously, his senses tautened, each step
considered. He heard no further
sound, but the stencil of the pygmies
was in his nose. coming, bewilderingly,

Steve grunted. He's a

grudgingly.
Then he looked back at
his ruined nursery and his
anger fiared afresh. In five
days now, Bullard, the Eng
lishman, was due. Steve
could wait no longer. He
would have to send for the
pygmies, who alone knew
how to hunt the Okapi.
But pygmies are as elu-
sive as quicksilver. 1t was

very inception, was not

answers to everything. He

there was to know about

a few pointers on how to

Now, Steve, with the nlnety-nlne

But that one per cent of cupldity
suddenly grabbed the controls. All
the way back to the plantation, he
