DIR. Louis Mark OF Columbus,
o., told me he hopes to pre-
sent a $500 bond at the fall ses-
sion of the Nationals at Syracuse
during the week of Nov. 80, for
a scholarship to be awarded to
the child of one of our service
men.
DR.. Mark likes tricky hands
and sent me this one recently.
He was the declarer (South)
and ruffed the opening lead. He
led heart and West jumped
up with the king. Back came a
second spade, which Mark ruff
ed. Another heart lead went to
the ace, and third spade was
led, which DR.. Mark ruffed with
the ace of trumps. Then South
cashed the king, queen and jack
of trumps, and led a club to the
king in his own hand, to cash
the two hearts. At the end West
was squeezed in sp a d es and
clubs. DR.. Marks "game-saving"
bid turned out to be a made
doubled contract.

Two Washington ideas on UNI
employment that have hereto
fore been presented as gospel by
New Dealers in particular and
social planners in general are
gradually being reclassified and
relegated to the realms OF my
thology under production pres
sure.
The first is that the United
States must and will always
have a couple of million "un-
employables" people who ne
yer under any conditions could
be given any kind of gainful
work.
The second, a corollary to the
first, is that the country could
never have full employment"
everybody gainfully employed
who wasn't too decrepit or too
ill or too physically handicapped
to earn his own living.
You have to look no farther

cepts, so glibly presented during

Unemployment is now esti-
mated at only IL million for

rolls are now at only $4,000
and the trend for both is down,
down, down. On July l WPA
had $4,000. The drop in four
months is 304, 900. In over 1000
of the 5000 counties, WPA has
completely shut down on all
construction projects. Whereas
the number of unemployed reg
istered and awaiting assignment
used to run over a million, it is

DEMOCRACY At WORK

Axis propooondsts will try to make it appear thot
the results of our election spell American disunity
Thot was the line taken by Vichy, even before the
votes were cost and hot is the Interpretation With
which Herr GoebbeIs must seek to heorten the Ger
man people and disheorten those Of the occupied
countries
But Hitler and Mussoni and Togo are not de-
ceved They themselves know that the American
people have merely rebuked their public servants for
not being tough enough
An offyeor congressional election cannot be in
terpreted by adding up all the detoIs- the detect OF
Conoressnnon X, the reelection of Senator Y, the
narrow Escape of Governor Z. These things are in
fueneed too much by local and personal consdero'
lions.
The measure of what happened this year is the
SURGE of discomfort at time when by all economic
standards there should be only contentment. We
have been hit hard by the dro by toxes by prortes
and shortages. All these and other inconvenience
promise to become more onerous. But we did not
punish congressman for this, elect requirements
in hope Of tightening the load.
Rather, what we did was express our disgust with
toolitte too-ote policies which, in foct have spared
US moterio discomforts, but which have slowed us
down in the prime task Of beating Hitler
The important thine-the thing which Hitler and
Mussolin and Hrohito cannot explain owoy-is that
in the midst Of total war we have completely free
election.
Being united wholly in the will to win this war; we
vet had the freedom to differ about how it best
be won.
Being resolved to support our President to the
limit against the outside world, yet reserved the
right to differ with him about internal policies and
to increase in Washington the number Of legislators
pledged to oppose many Of Mr. RooseveIt's domestic
policies

DRAFT HAS HELPED

Army and Navy inductions
and enlistements have of course
taken up a lot of the slack in the
ranks of the unemployed. Social
Security legislation has also
helped lot. Two million people
over IS years of age are now
drawing old age retirement in
surance, and unemployment in
surance benefits running higher
than WPA wages keep a lot of
the temporarily unemployed
who might Otherwise find their
way to WPA.. And the people
getting direct relief from the
states still number three-quar-
tiers of million.
But the prevailing idea at
WPA headquarters today-an
idea held by Fedeal Works Adj
ministrator Gen. Philip B. Flem-
ing, WPA Commissioner George
H. Field and Assistant Commits
sioner Florence Kerr-is that
there is no such thing as an un-
employable. Jobs can be found
for blind men, the lame, the
halt. And as long as that philos-
ophy prevails, there is chance
that WPA can be liquidated
without causing any hardship to
anyone. It's costing $3.50 million
this year.

take these figures and dive off
the deep end with a prediction
a to exactly when or how WPA
can be liquidated. WPA is at
present re-examining all of its
348, 900 actually on the rolls and
the 10000 waiting, making
study of characteristics as to
age, skill and ability to be train
ed for jobs in private industry.
The idea is to see just how en-
playable all these people at the
bottom of the "unemployable'
barrel may be, then to get them
moved along onto regular Jobs.
In a lot of cases where there are
labor shortages, this means get
ting the employers to take jobs
ordinarily performed by one
skilled worker and break those
Jobs down so that three or four
unskilled workers can each do
parts of the skilled opera
ton, the combined efforts of a
few unskilled workers being
thus equal to a skilled workers.
Over 100000 have been train
ed for war jobs, 235,000 have
got them.
