Something Wrong

The experience of AL J. Brown
ing. one of the nations larger
wallpaper manufacturers, shows at
least one thing wrong with the ex-
listing defense setup. Mr.. Brown
ing was with OPM until mid
March as deputy director of pur-
chases, assisting Don Nelson.
Returning TO his business then
he could see that the coming vast
increase in expenditures would cut
into production of his consumer
product, so he came TO Washington
seeking a defense contract 10 take
up the expected slack.
With his contacts. you would
think that obtaining a contract
would be simple business. How
ever, he encountered difficulties
and finally sent home to Chicago
for his best salesman. They can

Board of Control

What the administration adj
visers want Mr.. Douglas or Mr..

been worked out clearly In their
minds. They urge the setting up
OF a strategy board Of control al

representatives of the army. navy,
a powerful new division Of supply,
n new ministry OF economic war

and possibly some others.
Mr.. Douglas or Mr.. Wallace
would be chairman Of the board.
It's duties would be TO decide how
much production was necessary

control agency with authority TO

Suspicious Prompt

Henry Olsen remained in the
bedroom a few minutes fter
his wife left. Then he became
suspicious.

older woman. "She's gone to

Jensen also saw him leave and
notifie d Florence who was
-crouched- in terror in q clothes

mother and blurted out the story
of her frightful experience.
At the Sanpete High School,
the quick thinking principal
locked Barbara Blair in a closet
when the alarm first reached
him. Olsen came running
the school demanding to know
where the child was and became
a raVing maniac when he was
told that she had gone for the
day. When he finally left, Bar
bara was released and taken to
her mother BY Deputy ULYSSES
Larsen who remained to guard
the home. 1t was decided that
the two women and the child
would be safer at home with this
protection than if they at
tempted to leave.
But it was in a beer parlor in
Mount Pleasant itself that Olsen
was cornered early that evening.

She opened and closed the bath

neither did she speak to her
mother who was standing in the

Olsen held a Vicious-looking re-

she stared while he fished in his
pocket with his left hand and
drew out a small cardboard box
such as druggists use to hold

and the passion that shook
them, he slid the box open and
displayed four large white
