WASHINGTON-The War and Navy Departments, both run by Republicans, both having impor- tant military secrets to protect. offer a contrast when it comes to censorship of the press.
 Ten years ago. the War Depart ment, then under the ebullient Patrick J. Hurley of the Hoover Administration, placed a group of martinets in charge of Army press relations. But today, the Army, un- der public minded Henry L. Stim- son. has selected one of it's crack officers, Major General Robert c. Richardson, to handle it's press section and has revolutionized its attitude toward newspapermen. War Department executives even invite criticism. When this column exposed the exorbitant fees paid to real estate operators in buying land for Army camps, Under Sec retary of War Patterson gave every possible cooperation and thanked the writers for helping to correct an evil
 General Msrshall, Chief of Staff, adopted the same attitude regard ing this columns investigation of inefficiency in the construction of army camps. He said that while the Army made mistakes, they could be more easily avoided in the future if there was frank pub lie discussion of the facts.
 In contrast was the Navy's at tempt to crack down on news sources when this column reported that 30 of the brand new destroy CTS were to topheavy that they tended to turn turtle if too much fuel oil was taken out of their holds.

WASHINGTON, May 2-For the con-men, it's always open season on congressman.
 The jobs of Senators and mem- bers of the House (and for that matter, any other persons wno hold their posts by popular elec- tion) are no more secure than their regulations. To become in- volved in a shady transaction or to be caught playing the goat for some wolf with slick confidence game is almost political death.
 The con-men know his. The congressman know it. It makes the congressman wary and a hard nut to crack. It makes the smart con-men willing only to try their slickest tricks around Washington. The risk is great, but once they have gotten inside and over the

To Get Best Results
Do Your Exercises Slowly

that twisting will trim you
down.
So you stand up with your
feet planted wide apart and your
arms held straight out at your
sides. and you swing wild. You
don't benefit your waistline the
slightest exercising this way.
WsistIine Simmer
Do your twisting slowly and
you can center il smack at this
measurement. Try sitting on the
floor with legs straight out and
stretched wide apart, trunp
straight and arms out at shoul-'
der level.
Make your midway muscles
give as you whirl around to
touch the outstretched right
hand to the left foot, then re-
verse your direction. Throughout
the exercise the lower abdominal
muscles should be kept pulled up.
Even rolling must be done with
precision. My roly-poly pal said
yes. she rolls over and over
every day and isn't making a
dent in anything except the
furniture.
Lie full length on your back
on the floor and roll full across
the hipline from thigh to thigh.
Or. sit up and try this version:
lean back on your arms. hands
braced on floor at sides, legs
straight down, and propel your
self vigorously from one side TO
the other with your hands.
Stress Precision
1t is easy to be accurate about
most exercise that is done on
the hoor. In the lying down
exercises you don't have to think
about your posture you can con-
centrate on the muscular pull
where ii is needed.
Another good hip simmer and
waist stretcher can be taken
lying face downward on the
floor, head resting on folded
arms. From that position raise
alternate legs slowly from the
hips, hold and slowly lower. AS
you raise one leg. do not let
yourself roll over on the other.
