The premier was accompanied by

1t was the War Industries Board,
under Mr.. Baruch's suave but single
handed and masterful control, that

burg the tribute that Americas
brilliant, if pitiless, war industry
had entered the service of patriotism

Clarkson, historian of the War In
dustries Board, attributes to it the
circumstance that the end of the
first World War found the United
States as complete a military
machine throughout its whole in
dustrial and economic life as the
world has ever SEEN"
The likelihood that strengthening
of the defense organization may oc-
cur through changes in o. E. M.
rather than reorganization of
o. P. M. is regarded as not having
been lessened by Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
mark at Tuesdays press conference
that all he knew about the latter
alternative was what he had read
in the papers.
The weakness of o. P. M. is as
cribed to two factors. The first is
that its functions are merely ad-
visory. 1t has, for instance, a di-
vision of purchases which makes no
purchases, but is limited to counsel
ing the contracting departments Of
Army and Navy. The second is that
its direction is equally divided be-
tween two men, William S. Knudsen
and Sidney Hillman.

straint, as the situation is described,

bilious men, each desirous of ex-
tending the area of his own power
as far as possible. at the expense Of
his colleagues and the procurement
departments of the armed services.
There is said to be tendency among
some of those in office to gang up"
against any capable and resolute
newcomer. A current victim of such
a campaign is declared to have been

Ofhcials of o. P. M. are charged
with being immoderately addicted
to speechmaking. which detracts
time and energy from performance.
Mr.. Baruch did not make a single
address till the war was over. An
other specification is that the
priorities division alone has a larger
staff than the entire War Industries
Board possessed in 1918.
AS result, compliments for
o. P, M. are rare among officials
compelled to deal with it, The Army
believes its manual of 1889 said
the last word on industrial mobili-

going concern, is persuaded that its

forces be given the fighting chance

To Senator johnson he wired
yesterday:
"1 have written the President
that my son went down on the 23-
year-old submarine O-9 at a time
when modern equipment of ali kinds
is being exported to other nations.
Surely the parents of sons in all
services are entitled to a full and
decent investigation of this tragedy.
I respectfully suggest that the O-9
be raised for inspection of struc-
tural and mechanical faults.
Until this is done, it seems wicked
to risk further lives in her sister

Mr.. Tillery said he had received
a request signed "Lu Morton, Mid

The first floor is a spacious rec
reation hall, which will be used
for the dances which the club holds
every Saturday night. There is a
big radio -phonograph in a corner,
and the furnishings are attractive.
Upstairs is a well-equipped dormi-
tory, showers and other comforts.
The cafeteria will run from 7 am.
until 10 pm. daily, and later on
Saturday nights. There the service
men may obtain fine meals at nomi-

and billiard room.
With the enlargement. there are

the club fills only part of the big

But they were determined to push
to the extent of its potentialities the

so that it could entertain as many

done just this. They will also be
