DEFENSE WEEK

Today is Health and Welfare Day" tomorrow is Civilian Protection Day. and Sunday is Free dom Day"
 Such are the dramatic titles chosen by President Roosevelt for the last three days of Civilian De- fense Week, which started with Armstice Day on Tuesday,
 Disagreeable as is the contrast between our cele- bration of the end of the first World War and our preparedness for almost certain participation in this war it is no more than right that we should set aside period for the consideration by people in all walks of life of our defense effort
 We hope our plans for civilian defense are not as late in development as were the plans of the British. The tragic mistakes of apathy and the 'et can't happen here" attitude which marked the British home defenses during the first years of the war should have been real lesson to us. They were Q lesson to the British. Today, civilian de- fcnse on the British Isles is no longer a novelty, an exciting game, or a subject to haggle over. Civilian defense to the English is a reality, way of life necessity without which existanee is im- possible. The civilian defense chiefs in Britain have found place for every man. woman and child in their gigantic program, and have discovered that there can't be too many residents to do the job
 With our own civilian defense plans still lit tie hay, this week, in which defense needs stressed should serve to call to the attention of all U. S. citizens the need to mobilize their forces. In a war in which pack yards have become front lines and cellars have been turned into dugouts, prepar edness is no joke
 Especially in Alaska, must make all haste to shape our civilian population into an efficient defense unit. Of all the states and territories told Alaska is most likely to be invaded If we to be prepared to keep cities, busi- nesses and our families intact in the face of this possible invasion no time is to be lost
 Juneau, well other Alaska cities, is getting a good start with its Civic Defense Unit Aimed at protecting the city from conquest within the city limits, launched by saboteurs and subversiye or ganizauons, the Civic Defense Unit can put about 25O men in the field within 10 minutes, patroling neighborhood streets and vital industries and utii- ties alike, and reporting any disturbing findings

MRS. ROOSEVELT
 WORRIES SAME AS
 ALL NAVY MOTHERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA = Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt disclosed to- day that she has worry in common with other mothers with sons in the Navy
 Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., naval ensign, is on destroyer somewhere on the Atlantic" she said at her press conference when asked if she knew his whereabouts The last time she heard from him was about ten days ago when he was at the White House.
 A reporter asked whether she and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, Jr., had any special means of communicat- ing with the Presidents son. Mrs. Roosevelt replied that both she and his wife wrote Franklin, Jr. care of the New York postmaster just like the members of other naval families.
 But one thing Franklin does do whenever he is on land, she said, is to call home by long distance tele- phone.

manufacturing plants in the Unit ed States, 133,O0O or 72 percent, employ only 20 men or less. These small plants use only five or six percent of the nations raw ma terial Therefore, he figures, these l33,00o small companies should be given priorities and allowed to get their metal. It won't disrups the defense program to do this, and it would disrupt thousands Of lit tle firms to do the opposite.
 Next, Odlum figures that the Army has on it's Hist 25,00O firms which it has worked with in past years, and had given them tedu- cationaI" orders even before the emergency. lie thinks the Army should be able to keep these firms busy, though he has his fingers crossed on this point Actually. the red tape artists in the War De- partment have not given orders even to 10000
 At any rate, Odlum calculates that, excluding the little firms which hire only 20 men, there will be about 34OO0 companies to be cared for. These are the firms to which he will try to shoot some of the s400Go0 coo set aside by Under Secretary Patterson
 at the top Us the men below who give him trouble. Patterson has set aside s4O000O000 of Army or ders out of the last congressional appropriation for Odlum to allo- cate to little companies But get ting the majors and colonels down below to make these allocations; ; and also to find the little com panies equipped and ready to fill the orders quickly, is something else again.

NEW NEWS SOURCE

We are looking forward to receiving, in the near future our first factual and arithmatical releases from OFF.
 The preceding sentence probably won't make sense to the uninitiated, who have not kept up with Uncle sams alphabetical departures. For the in- formation of these, OFF is new government bu- reail-The office of Facts and Ffgures-which has been recently set up within the OPM (office of Production Management to distribute factua infor- nation to the citizens of the country the progress of the defense effort and on defense policies and actiyities of the government.
 In other words the new agency will do the job Fin publicizing defense which news agencies have attempted to do, in their way, but which has kept Washington correspondents rather dizzy due to the rapid changes made in priorities defense contracts, old metal drives and lend-lease maneuvers
 The administration apparently figured that the newsmen had gone little off the track in their reports so now FDR is going to get OFF to put the public back on the main line again-if you follow us
 Anyway we thought when we first heard about OFF that it might be an excuse for the government to start federal printing presses rolling on an ad- mnistration propaganda publication which would be sent in franked envelopes to the taxpayers, as- sumedly giving them the true picture of defense developments But according to Archibald MacLesh librarian of Congress, who has been appointed di- rector of OFF, the agency will merely dissem- mate their information to radio stations and news papers and entrust these existing news purveying organizations to carry the message to the public.
 Here in part, is the statement made by Mac Lesh when he accepted the appointment:
 The Office of Facts and Figures is established as I understand it, upon the assumption that the people of self-governing country are entitled to the fullest possible statement of the facts and the figures bearing upon conditions with which their government is faced. The essential difference be- tween a democracy and a despotic form Of govern- ment is that a democracy is based upon complete trust in the people and democratic service of in- formation must necessarily reflect that trust The job of the Office of Facts and Figures, stated in the Executive order is to an interdepart- mental clearing house for information and data re- auired for the most coherent and comprehensive presentation to the Nation of the facts and figures of national defense Tn other words, the operation of the office will be purely within the Government.
 The Office of Facts and Figures will not make
 practice of issuing releases nor set up new chan nels for the dissemination of information but will rely upon the services and facilities of existing agencies of the Government in the dissemination of information" In other words, the establishment of rhe office will in way change the relation be- tween the departments and the agencies of Govern ment and the press and radio services, will it alter the reliance of the Government upon these means of informing the people,

no sign of it.
 Most of the time during this two weeks the chamber was largely empty and as peaceful as li- brary. An attendance of eight or ten was a big crowd. On one oc- casion, Senator Alexander Wiley, Wisconsin isolationist, talked prac- tically to himself.
 Only three other Senators were present and two of them were not listening to Wiley
 Even when Wheeler, No. con- gressional isolationist, delivered his six-hour speech, there were never more than 30 present on the floor, and most of them were his parti- sans.
 Except for the desire to crate, the Senate could have disposed of the legislation within 24 hours after it was received.

CAPITAL CHAFF

The German Embassy in Wash ington has been writing reports which pile up in a closet because they cannot be sent to Berlin. This is because the Nazis' diplomatic mail pouch no longer can come via Russian-held Vladivostok. Nor can it come via the Atlantic where Bri- tannia rules the waves. Therefore the Embassy must communicate with Berlin by cable at tremendous expense. And mail just remains in Washington <. 7. Leon Henderson IS living up to his demand for the drastic curtailment of automobile production by buying 1886 Buick.
