To what end does he make that
choice if not for further toll in aid
of the handicapped people who have
been nearest his heart? Warden
Lawes is at the apex of his powers.
He knows his subject as few other
individuals ever have known it; he
writes and speaks attractively; he
has large following, devoted to his
philosophy of practical reform; he is
old enough to be seasoned, young
enough to be Jealous. His country,
recognizing these qualifications, looks
forward to the next endeavor of his
career with confidence that it will
be constructively useful to all who
may be concerned.

Planning Personnel

Changes about to be made in the

obtaining men for local public office

Reduces World Issues
To Victory Over Hitler.
To the Editor of The Star:

One aspect of the battle of Russia now
looks encouraging to us, the people of
the United States. AS Dorothy Thomp-
son stated in recent column, the new
war for freedom in which we are en-
gagged is to be regarded as a world war
against Communism, Fascism and Tory
ism. When the Communists and Tories
get together to fight Hitler on two fronts,
we can expect to see the end of three
great evils which afflict the world today.
Americanism can deal with Toryism and
Communism after they put an end to
Hitlerism. VOX POPUII.

Suggests Economy in Use
OF Government Electricity.

In The Star the writer has noted an
article about the proposal for national
daylight saving to conserve electric
power.
Here in Washington a better plan
would be to induce the people in the
Government buildings to refrain from
burning lights in daytime.
These employees should be taught to
turn of lights and fans when leaving
for the day.
As a member of the guard force for
the past 10 years, the writer has been

Urges Denunciation
OF Tactics in Milk Strike.
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 inc EultOI Ol Inc Guar.
1 have always felt that "Berryman"
was and is the greatest political cartoon
ist land the fairesD of our generation
if not of our history.
But. after viewing his cartoon tonight
which shows the flag Right to Strike"
hoisted above the flag "All Out for De-
Tense" realize that cartoonists, as we'll
as editorial writers are apt TO be so
against one thing that they will allow
other things even more worthy of criti-
cism to 60 unnoticed.
1 refer to the recent farmers strike"
in New York when farmers poured
thousands of gallons of milk into the
cutters because they could not get their
price. Food will win this war just as
much as will guns and airplanes. Britain
right now is faced with an almost dis
astrous shortage of milk and the public
press couple of weeks ago printed items
asking all Americans to cut down their
consumption of milk as much as pos
sible so that it could be sent to England
in a powdered form.
In face of this food will win the war"
talk, these farmers were allowed to
destroy this very important food and
not one editorial writer or one cartoon
ist in any Washington newspaper nor
one Government official condemned them
for it.
May I suggest that if it is right and
proper to call out troops to force men
to desist in strike against a firm which
is manufacturing national defense items,
then surely the troops should be called
out to stop "embattled farmers" from
destroying food which is also needed
If we are to crush the dictators?
Please ask Mr.. Bergman, for twenty
years my favorite cartoonist, to draw a
cartoon setting forth the reasonable
action of those who destroy milk and
other foodstuffs. Surely this is sabo-
tage of the worst sort

Army Shoe Postscript Sequel to Previous Shoe Buying Story and the
 Little Man Who Wasn't There"
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN Co-Authors of The Washington "Merry. Go Round"

For example: The McElwain Shoe Company of New Hampshire, one of the largest in the country, cut it's quotation from $3.l21s to $3.06: the Doyle Shoe Company of Massac achusetts slashed from $40 to $3.27h; the Charles Eaton Company and Daly Brothers, both in Massachusetts, dropped prices from $3.48 and $3.40 to $3.24 and $3.28 a pair.
 On the other hand, the Inter. national Shoe Company of St. Louis went up from $3.12 to $3.26 and the Brown Shoe Company, also of St. Louis, upped from $S3O to $3.38.
 Reason for this strange sec- tional zigzag is a matter of con- lecture. One possible explana- tio,1 advanced by government ex- pertS is that the New England concerns got the jump in the leather market and bought up large quantities at lower prices than their competitors.
 Note-While running into the millions of pairs, army shoe pur- cl1ases actually represent only a small percentage of the mems shoe manufacturing capacity of the country. Army requirements for the current fiscal year are about 100000 pairs, while the mems shoe production for 1940 to- taled 42, ,000, 900 pairs and could be expanded to coo, 900, 900. pairs.

Washington, D. O., March 28. This is a postscript to the Washington Merry = Go Round story several weeks ago about army shoe buying and the "nttle man who wasn't there"
 The story told how army shoe costs shot up after the rnysteri- ouS exit of Frank W. Folsom. ace defense commission ,aerchanddser, and the ddscardfng of the buying system under which he bought millions of pairs of shoes at cut rates.
 Here is the postscript:
 l. After weeks of offlcial de. nialg, defense officials now admit that Folsom is no longer buying shoes for the army. When the Merry Co., Round story came out, 1t was hotly denied that Folsom had been bounced. But 8 few days ago 1t was at last oficially acknowledged in @ press release that he was out.
 ?. The army's latest purchase of shoes - l,827 900 pairs - was still at 8 relatively high figure, in fact only 1 cent per pair less than the prices paid in Decem- Der after Folsom disappeared. The average December figure after Folsom left was $3.32 a pair. But while he was in con- trol it was $2.83.
 3. In the latest shoe pur- chase, New England makers re- duced their prices considerably, while nlid-western firms upped theirs. ...... t.t

If scientists had nicknames, Dr. w. D. Coolidge would probably be called "X-ray" Coolidge. He is the inventor of the form of X-ray tube that is most widely used in medicine and experimental work.
 Tn 35 years of experimental work at the famous General Electric Re- search Laboratories at Schenectady, NaY., pr. Coolidge has made other inventions that have saved the American public millions of dollars. The familiar incandescent electric lamps that weswitch on and of un- thinkingly every day exist to a large degree in their present high state of efficiency and low first cost because of Dr. Coolidge's suc- cess in making tungsten so ductile that 1t could be draw nout into the fine filimants that become heated and produce the light.
 His X-ray tubes range from small ones that can be carried about or used in cramped quarters to giants that occupy whole rooms or even whole buildings. The larger tubes are used for cancer therapy or ex- perimental work. He has also pro- duced cathode ray tubes that are capable of shooting forth powerful streams of eelctrons, making pos- sible a whole new line of research. NOW DIRECTS

rector and co-ordinator of other scientists researches.
 Dr. Coolidge is one of the pio- neers in industrial research. For many years he worked with Dr. Willis R. Whitney, who built up the GEE research laboratories. When Dr. Whitney retired in 1892. Dr. coolidge succeeded him as director. He is also vice president of the company.
 pr. Coolidge was teaching and inc vestigating at the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology in the early years of the century when pr. Whitney discovered" him and per- suaded him to give up an accademic career to enter a commercial labor atory. Young Dr. Coolidge was promised that he could spend at least half his time on research that did not seem to have any direct practical application.
 CURIOSITY
 PAYS PROFITS
 As a matter of fact, this so-called "pure" research has in the long run been very productive of practical developments. Many of the most useful accomplishments in pr. Cool idge's great cradle of industry were born of scientific curiosity and fundamental searchings.
 Medals and honorary member ships from at home and abroad have been showered upon Dr. Coolidge, who at 67 is working harder than ever. From his re- searches you might guess that pr. Coolidge Is classified as e physicist, or a mettallurgist or an electrical engineer. What he labels himself when, he must is physical chemist" which is another demonstration that the boundary lines between sciences are being erased.
