BIG EXHIBITION
OF PLASTICS IS
BEING DISPLAYED
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
NOW BEING LOOKED UPON
WITH GREAT DEAL MORE
OF IMPORTANCE
by JACK STINNETT
Alp Feature Service Writer

WAoIl1IN1 Mn, JAN g. AhC
Department of Commerce is slap
happy over plastics In the vast
vaulted foyer of the departments
building sometimes referred to
locally as 'Hoover's Folly" be-
cause nobody up to that time had
ever thought of Commerce as inn
portant enough to be housed in
such an edifice) there now is on
display as big an exhibition of
plastics as Washington ever has
seen.
There is everything from false
teeth to brassieres; from milady's
dainty pumps to football helmets
that would stop the jar of Kim
brough; from fragile-looking bits
of costume jewelry to airplane
windshields that toss machine
gun bullets aside like pellets from
bean-shooter.
What Plastics Are \
The day I was over there, there
was a is!iow standing around. !
asked him. "Whaddyumean plas-
tics?" And his answer was: Gen
orally speaking. plastics are sub
stances capable of being nodded
or otherwise fabricated with
Tcoloring matter or a filler) into
a desired solid form; this condi-
ton being obtained by a physical
or chemical interaction between
the molecules Of a, wide range of
materials.
Well. no doubt he knew what
he was talkinb about, but that
seems TO me to be putting IT the
hard way. Plastics are like radio
you cart explain them. but
there they are. You take little
coal tar or hammered soybeans,
mix them with little air or wa
ter. run them through press and
you get everything from syn
thetic silk to gear-shift knobs
The Chinese started making
papier- mache about as far back
as firecrackers. but since papler-
mache wasn't an instrument Of
slaughter. IL took civilization
about ten centuries longer to fig
ure out that il was elastic and
plas,ics were oretty 4s5t stuff.
Now, after sorasg 20 years OF

about ten years Of concentrated
attention from both The men in

BRONZE STATUE
TO Be ERECTED
FOR HUEY LONG
WILL BE UNVEILED IN MA
TIONAL CApITOL'S STA
TUARY HALL AFTER CON-
GRESS CoNvENES
BY JACK sTENNETT
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Some-
time after the new Congress con-
venes, a six-foot-five, 900-pound
bronze statue of the late Huey
Long will be unveiled in the ma
tional Capitols statuary hall, but
it may be that Just half of Louis
iana's delegation to Congress will
have anything to do with this
recognition and high honor ac-
corded the states onetime "king-
fish"
BY federal statute, each state is
allowed to place one statue in
statuary hall---once the old cham
Der of the House of Representa-
tives--and a second in the Capitol
corridors. After Huey's death
and during the regime of his
brother as governor, the legis-
lature set aside $4,000 for the
bronzs figure and Sculptor Charles
Keck, of New York was commits
stoned to turn it out.
Since Louisiana has no other
statue in the Capitol, Huey's gets
the honored spot in the hall. A
few weeks ago it arrived and,
draped in an American flag, was
placed on its four-foot pedestal
between representations of Will
liam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska
and the senior Bob LaFolette of
Wisconsin.
Delegation split
II will be unveiled, so members
of the old Long groups still in
Congress say, soon. But here is
where a strange factor comes in.
In the state political battle be-
tween the Longs and the anti
Longs in the November election,
five "antis" were elected to the
House, This splits the Louisiana
congressional delegation in half,
The five new members all are OPP
posed to the old regime. The two
senators, John H. Overton and
Allen ]. Ellender both were elected
during the time when the Long
machine was in power. They
were not up for reelection in
November. Three of the con-
greSSmen elected in the Long era,
were reelected in November.
These are Representatives Over
ton Brooks, Newt V, Mills and A.
Leonard Allen.
One of the leaders of Louis
iana's Long opposition said re-
Gently the new regime did not
plan to interfere with dedication
of the statue but would not par
ticipate in the ceremonies.
So il seems that the bronze

4llC xAdAx0h war O44kGGs
The official report stated that
Nazi air squadrons were now be-
ing flown into Italy and Albania
and would operate under the
Italian command.
Italian officials also stated that
the German Fuehrer was with
drawing all but one air squadron
out of the Battle of Britain and
Strengthening the Italians for a
stiff battle in the Albanian and
North African war fronts.
The Germans new war strategy
was seen to be aimed at stronger
attacks against English supply
lines and sea power in the Medi-
terranean.
Heretofore, the Italian govern
ment has discredited all reports to
the effect that any help was being
received from Germany. Today's
report indicated that Hitler was
much concerned about the fate of
Mussolini in his battle with the
Greeks in Albania and the British
in North Africa.

GOOD MORNING Mr. Zip,
Zip, Zip that was a popu-
lar song during the last war -.
this year it is the song the
youngies are singing about the
new polo coat with the zip-in,
zip-out lining.

answer to the coat problem in

But with this polo number.
all you have to do is zip out the
leather lining and out TO lunch
with the utmost comfort. IT is
wind-proof and rain-proof. too.
THE COAT is of natural polo
tan and has nice detail Of
rows of stitching outlining the
bottom, cuffs and pockets.
Brown leather buttons finish
the front and the collar may
be fastened securely under the
chin on a cold day.
The shoulder is trifle on the
boxy side and the sleeve a modi-
field bell-shape. To take care of
bTeeZes which are apt 10 sneak
