Nelson 10 Eliminate
Duplicating Divisions
And Some Employees
One-Woy RoiIrood Ticket.
Will Be Given Out, One
Priorities Official Saws

After one full week as executive
director of the Supply Priorities and
ALLEGATIONS Board, Donald Nelson
announced today that the next week
of his efforts viii be spent on or
ganization work, a part Of it de-
signed to eliminate a number Of
semi-duplicating subdivisions and
individual employees.
There probably will be a few one
way railroad tickets given out" one
official in his Office remarked.
Mr.. Nelson spent the first week
at his now post in cleaning up cor
respondence and attending to other
matters in order to bring about a
smooth-working organization.
A large job facing Mr.. Nelson is
that of untangling the estimated
needs of the Army, the Navy and
the British and other nations fight
ing the Axis powers.
Informed defense authorities re-
vealed that no single agency to date
has assembled all available data on
these needs. In them, under Mr..
Nelson's direction, will be included
inventories of raw materials essen
tial to defense production and in
formation on factories and other
facilities that might be converted
to defense use.
During his first week, Mr.. Nelson
cleared several Thousand pieces of
mail, including thousands of appli-
cations from manufacturers for
preference rating on orders for stra-
tegic defense materials. This was
done by bringing in a crew of mail
handling experts from private in
dustry, most Of them presumably
from Sears, Roebuck & Co, a firm
of which he formerly was vice
president.
Working from early morning well
into the night, the experts centered
their efforts chiefly on speeding up
approvals for priority applications.
To do this, 1t was reported, they used
a special stamp on the application
forms instead of resorting to the
slower process of issuing a formal
certificate for each applicant.

that powerful" British reinforce
ments have reached Egypt and said
he was confident I'VE shall be able
to defend Egypt successfully from a
German invasion across the Western
desert"
Britain's fortunes on the merchant
shipping warfare and the battle of
the sea in general have changed,
Mr.. Churchill told the House, so that
in July and August the sinkings of
British and Allied ships were only
slightly more than one-third of the
total Axis tonnage sunk by British
and Allied warplanes and sub
marines.
British submarines, he added, had
sunk or seriously damaged a total
of II enemy warships and los supply
ships in 1941, for an average of Is
month.
The ships torpedoed, Mr.. Churchill
added, vary between large liners
of over 10000 tons and caiques and
schooners laden with troops and
military stores"
There has been a corresponding
increase in tonnage and the value
of cargoes safely landed on our
shores" Mr.. Churchill added, "de-
spite the fact that every night 80
or 40 German planes sow mines in
British waters"
He said that IAN extraordinary
rise during the last three months In
the destruction of German and Ital-
ian ships" was achieved very largely
by development of new and brilliant
tactics by the coastal command and
r. A. F. bombing squadrons."
ITO the exploits of the air force
must be added those of our subma-
rines," he continued. The destruc-
tion OF enemy shipping by both
forms of attack has been enormous. 4"
Mr.. Churchill closed with a char
acteristic peroration:
1T is no time for boasting, but
there Is this: A year ago our posi-
ton looked forlorn and very nigh
desperate. Today we say aloud, we
are stu master of our fate and
captain of our SOUL -.s
| Lauds Russian Armies. 7T
Wearing trimmed spectacles,
the Prime Minister read from notes
as he surveyed the war front from
Iran to Newfoundland.
Mr.. Churchill won the loudest
cheer when he declared that the
magnificent resistance" of the Rus
sian armies had cost the Germans
more blood in the last three months
than Germany lost in any single
year of the first World War. Soviet
Ambassador Ivan Maisky was in the
gallery.
He got another big cheer when he
| demanded the surrender of all Axis
nationals in Iran to protect the
supply route to Russia.
"a dispatch from Teheran,
Iran, today reported that the
Parliament there had accepted
BFitish-Russian terms, which in
clude the ousting of Axis lega-
tions and the surrender of Axis
nationals.)
OF the forces in Iceland, he said:
The spacious airfields which we
have constructed and are expanding
there and in Newfoundland will play
an ever-increasing part not only In
control of the broad waters, but in
the continued flow of the ever
broadening stream of heavy bombers
now acting against Germany night
after night, which will play a de-
cisive part, or one of the decisive
parts, In the final victory"

This is especially true in

But it should be wise spending.
Patchwork is expensive; calling in a

economical and satisfactory-for there
is no definite responsibility. The
assuredly SAFE way is by The Eberly
Plan-and it is better to make one job
of it--putting the house into perfect
condition all at once.
By the uay, under The Eberly Plan
is the ONLY aOay it can be so done.
Painting, papering, repairing,
refnishing the floors, thoroughly
insulating that's an expenditure
which quickly pays for itself in the
saving of fuel and comfort), changing
unused rooms and outmoded porches
into sunrOoms, recreation rooms
perhaps making them over into
income-producing apartments. In fact,
thoroughly renovizing and undermining
throughout.
Give it thought NOW. Send for an
Eberly Plan Supervisor and talk it over
with him. He'll give you practical
suggestions; and definite estimate of
the cost.
The Eberly Financing Plan will

Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, deputy

Before the convention of the

disputes had reached dangerous
proportions, and added:
This is not the time for chaos in
labor. Labor leaders whose hearts
are with America should have the

rid their ranks of the few who would
use labor for their own personal ad-
vantage
This is not the time. by short

Profit grabbing and wage grab

Then he ordered ham sandwich
and his search was ended.
He was 50 happy he had to shout
So he ran out into the street and let

wanted TO know what all the fuss
was about. When Parker told him,
the officer said he guessed the elder

Here's Parker's story:
He had not seen his two daughters
and a son. Goldic, Opal and Ellis
Parker, since 1925, when they were
living with their mother. He went
to the Northwest, into Montana, Wy
oming, and Canada and only re
turned here in late 1899 TO look
around for them.
II came here trying to find my
children" he said. Il knew they
were in Abilene Is years ago.
The other night I went into a
cafe here. II has good ham and l
like ham sandwiches. So I asked
the waitress to fix me a ham sand
witch and use a double amount OF
ham.
There weren't many customers.
so after she asked if the ham was
all right, we started talking. l fig
urcd it wouldn't hurt any, so asked
her if by any chance she knew OF
my children. and | named them for
her.
Did you say Goldie Parker" she
asked.
Il told her yes and right away
she looked at me closely and said:
Why, I'm Goldie Parker. and
you're Lon Parker. my father,
aren't you?"
The daughter then revealed that
she now was Mrs. GoIdic Mills. She
told her father he was a grand
father and took him to her home to
introduce him to her husband and
SLOW him ner three daughters and
one son.
Further. the daughter led Parker
to her sister, Opal. Parkcr'S young
