SMALL BUSINESS
A BIG WORRY

Establishment of a small bust
ness unit in the Department OF
Commerce now brings to six the
number of government agencies
worrying about this question.
The other five are:
Floyd w. odlums contract
distribution division of OPM is
at the top of the heap with
White House order creating IT
and giving it the job of spread
ing the work.
There is a contract distribu-
ton division in the office of the
undersecretary of war.
The department of justice has
a small business unit in its anti
trust division.
Senator James +. Murray.
Butte. Mont. heads special
senate investigating committee
to study the problems of small
business.
Senator Harry S. Truman, In
dependence. Mo. heads another
senate committee investigating
national defense, which has in
terested itself on behalf of the
little fellow.
All that is needed to complete
ly confuse the issue is the APP
pointment of a co-ordinator OF
government agencies investigat-
ing, studying. recommending and
trying to do something about
small business. He could be
known for short as the COG
AISRATTDSASB.
Civil aeronautics authority Is
interested in checking up IN
more detail on who rides around
in chartered sirplanes and why.
New regulations require the
pilots of all hired planes to in
spect the baggage of their pas
sengers. That doesn't apply to
commercial planes yet, but on
all flights cameras must be
checked in compartments in
accessible to passengers during
flight. Additional regulations
are coming.

BIBLICAL SPIRIT
OF HUMOR

A Biblical spirit of humor
rides the dark waves OF the At
lsntic these nights along with
the forces of death and destruc-
ton Here is one Of the happier
stories which the fingers of war
have written:
The commanders of convoy
ships and the destroyers shep-
herding them across the ocean
cannot use light or radio sig
mails in exchanging orders lest
they tip off proving enemy sub
marines. For communication
purposes each vessel Is equipped
with = specially devised mega
phone that can be heard across
the expanse of the convoy. Sea-
faring men are avid readers and
deep students OF the Bible. The
Holy Book lies on the table
alongside every captains bed.
So they send orders or informs-
ton by referring TO q certain
chapter and verse. to-wit:

MOVIES USED TO
T.. =. ADVANTAGE


u. 8. ADVANTAGE
Only few months ago Holly
wood was dragged before a SEN
ate investigating committee on
charges that it was spreading
propaganda designed to plunge
the United States into war. To-
day the movie colony has be-
come a major branch of the
armed forces.
The army, navy and air force
. are using films to speed up the
training of recruits, and to i'm
prove the knowledge of veteran
officers. II is probable that our
high command has learned more
Of the technique of modern war
from the silver screen than from
any other medium. Filters equip
ped with motion picture cameras
cover whole bsttlefronts, while
individual observers can study
only small segments of the sd-
vancing or retreating lines.
Hollywood productions also have
tremendous value in toning up
morale at home and in spread
ing propaganda abroad. Like
the radio the movies have helped
to transform the science of war
making.
AS a result the viii Hays or
ganization will soon establish an
office at Washington to provide
closer contact between grim
GHQ and the glsmorous pro-
duotion studios. Edward Rod
dan. extremely able newspaper
man and former assistant to
Democratic Publicity Man Chas.

officer for the movie car.

There is a pronounced religious awakening among the

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1942-01-07

House senate naval affairs
committeeman have promised
Secretaries Knox and Stimson to
withhold their fire until after
the Roberts board has submitted
its report, but the men who dish
out the money do not feel bound
by this pledge. Several members
Of the latter group have urged
for years:
"a That the army scatter its
air fields throughout the islands
instead of locating them around
Manila.
(3) That hangers be built
underground.
(3) That chief reliance for de-
Tense of the Philippines be placed
on long-range fighter planes.
They believe that the whole
sale destruction OF our air
forces at Pearl Harbor would
have been avoided If this advice
had been followed.
The appropriations committee
however has no control over
fundamental policy except as 1t
holds the purse strings That
authority rests in the house and
senate naval affairs committees
and they have usually sided with
the more conservative navy gen.
eral board. The latter still be-
lieves battleships TO be the main
weapon on the water. Now that
events have demonstrated the
accuracy of the appropriations
views, they intend TO ask a few
rough questions Of the admirals
and the navy air officers.
