FIFTY COLORED CLERKS AND

WASHINGTON, D. c. (SNS)-- De-
claring that an erroneous impression is
Being created about the employment of
colored clerical and stenographic work.
ers in the war department, William Ha-
site, civilian aide to the secretary of
war, last week pointed out that this
was as much a part of his job as seeing
that proper things were being done for
the enlisted personnel of the army.
Since january !, some 80 colored
clerks and stenographers have been ta-
ken on in the department, says HASTE
exclusive of a large number of Negroes
as messengers, laborers and custodial
workers.
When the department asks the civil
service commission for a large group
of stenographers they are put in the
stenograpric room which has in the past
been referred to as a pool
From here, they are gradually taken
into private offices as their services are
needed. Their pay begins Immediately
they are assigned to the department
From this initial pool, they are signed
out to the various offices.
mo doubt the assignment of colored
stenographers has been slow from the
start, said Mr.. HASTE, "in fact, it was
slower than it should have ben, but
things are beginning to change bit
More and more colored stenographers are
being used in white offices. Now no
colored stanographer is in the pool more
than two weeks. The work has been
speeded UP considerably and the trans
fers are coming through faster than ever

Says America Faces Japan As a
United and Determined Country
BY Congressman Frances P. Bolton

ganizatonS are enormous, the pres
sure tor action and the Job of allocat-
ing huge sums of appropriated funds
tremendous.
There are still far too many clashes
OF personalities" and in some quar-
ters a lack of subordinating all else
to the problem of producing. Much
OF the talk centers about the aues-
ton of spending so much this year
and so much next. After all, spending
is not the issue-production is what
we need and what we want.
1t should be question of how we
can increase our production of the
equipment and ammunition which we
sorely need-not alone for brave Eng
land and her allies, but for our own
armed forces.
SECRETARY of the Treasury Nor
~ genthau has about completed his
plans for the 1912 tax program. He
is getting anxious to present them to
the Ways and Means Committee and
give them to the public. The more
experienced men on the Committee
are hesitant about getting into the tax
proposals now when we have not vet
had time to see how the country will
stand up under the tremendous bill
which just went into effect.
Taxes, new and drastic, will un-
doubtedly be used to take care of price
control problems if the final price con-
troll bill does not meet Treasury ex-
pectations. The United States is to a
large extent financing the effort TO
defeat Hitler, and it is easy to under
stand why the Treasury is so con-
cerned about retaining the purchasing
power of the dollar that is doing this
work.

construction of its new sea water
magnesium plant at Freeport,
Tex, where metal is actually pro-

This plant is expected TO double
Dow's annual magnesium produc-

The alleged conspiracy. accord
