Civil Service May Run
Executive Branch. in
Future, Thomas Says
Senator From Utuh
Asserts Congress Should
Use Aqency,s Experience

Since civil service men and women
can not be turned out of office by
an election, the United States event.
ually may use to carry on the ex-
ecutive business group OF individ-
uals who have selected the Govern
ment service as a career, Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Utah, told
the Conference on Better Manage
ment In War Time Government at
the Washington Hotel today.
The conference is being held under
auspices of the Washington Chapter
of the Society for the Advancement
Of Management.
A loss of a large amount of man.
power through unnecessary and ex-
cessive Government paper work was
stressed by J. A. Piacitelli, consult
ing engineer. He told the conference
that the many analyses that he has
made during the last four years for
various Government agencies have
resulted in an average reduction of
a per cent in forms and reports and
36 per cent in number of operations.
These improvements, he contin-
ued, have made hundreds OF people
available for other essential activi-
ties.
Discussing further the increase of
the advocacy OF career men for
Government, Senator Thomas told
the conference that during all OF the
upheavals Of the various French
revolutions, the civil service men
served all. He said that now schools
are preparing men for Government
service and that it would take q
thunderous speech to prove today
that such government would de-
stroy the Constitution and the Dec
laration OF Independence.
There is some criticism, he said,

perfection of the official orders OF
the Board Of Commissioners.
The fault in the regulations Mon
day night was that the Commission
ers had not incorporated into their
own orders the official signal an
nounced by Co-ordinator Young.
This description of the official signal
had been carried in the separate
orders of the Commissioners for past
announced drills. but the corpora
ton counsel had not been advised
of the Monday night surprise test
and consequently did not prepare
the necessary order to cover it.
Order" for Officials Cancelled.
Meanwhile, Col Lemuel Bolles,
executive of District civilian defense,
announced shortly after noon that
the order" of August 10 assigning
Commissioners Kutz and Mason and
five other District officials to COM
munications control posts had been
withdrawn.
If a similar order is issued later
he said, 1t would be done after con-
sultation with District Building
authorities.
Earlier today, it had developed
that at least one of the Commits
sioners and some others of the
group had not been consulted in
advance on their assignments, which
were announced by Col. Bolles In
an OCD order carrying the sigma
ture OF Commissioner Young. United
States co-ordinator. The order was
released Monday, after Mr. Young
had been out of town on vacation
for some days.
Among others, District Assesso
Edward A. Dent, who lives at Daven

and confusion has resulted from
the present setup, and said Mai.
Gen. A. D. Surles, director Of public
relations, was in accord with the
reorganization.
Gen. Surles and are in accord
With the belief that our ideals Of
public relations should be based on
accurancy," he said.
I'VE recognize this as a peoples
war and our Public Relations Bu-
reau must keep them fully and ac-
curately informed. We both have
complete faith that the people can
take the bad news with the good"
Discussing the air-marker story,
Mr.. Stimson said:
'If what is ascertained from
reputable newspapers is true the
most drastic corrective action should
be taken"
Mr.. Stimson said the Arny's sepa-
rate public relations agencies, such
as those for the Services of Supply
the ground forces, air forces and
others. would be consolidated under
Gen. Surles in the Public Relations
Bureau so that he might have COM
plete supervision over all activities.
IS to Be Eliminated.
Pointing out that the move will
be made to end confusion, he said
the reorganization would have four
principal considerations: Economy
OF personnel, elimination of con-
fusion of effort. closer control over
press officers and the elimination Of
conflicting statements, and deter
mining what officers might be reas-
signed to combat services.
1--WE will reduce those outside 100
officers by at least rs" Mr. Stimson
said. A study is being made to de-
terminc which press officers can be
eliminated. Those who remain will
be transferred to Gen. Surles bu-
reau.
THAT means we won't have sep
arate bureaus running OF without
supervision" he explained.
"Tn. Army has no place in its Or
gsnization for promoters OF news or
for those devoted to the business OF
exploitation, he declared.
MY own concept is based on an
old Bible text, from / Kings, xii
Let not him that g1rdeth on his
harness boast himself as he that
putteth 1t Off.
Translated into plain language
that means don't blow your trumpet
until you've done your work., he
said.
Mr.. Stinson disclosed that the
closer supervision sought over public
relations would apply also to loca.
Army agencies throughout the coun'
ky.

And in his new auto tires we drove
few tacks.
We went down with grandpa to do up
the chores,
We let down the bars and opened the
doors,
And out popped Nelly, Dolly, Peat and
old Brown.
They snorted and blew and capered
around,
And all of a sudden they spied the
bars down
An off they all went with a spring
and a bound.
They went down through the barn
yard and to the meadow they go
And after them chased old Kiser and
Joe.
They went to the back field, galloped
and run
And never before on Thanksgiving
naU we seen SUCH lu4ts
We wondered in laughter which would
win,
But Kiser and Joe kept chasing, and
brought them all in.
We opened the door of the sheep pen
to look
And out jumped Mamie, Bette and
old Jim Buck.
Old Jimmie was mad and saucy you
see,
And he first butted Nellie and then
butted me.
Grandpa saw him and chased them
back in,
And we never opened the sheep pen
again.
Grandpa had finished all but milking
the cows,
That seemed all of sudden our cur
iosity to arouse.
We looked at Pink, Spot, Red, Fan
and old julie;
And she got excited, which was out
of the rule,
And she jumped back and knocked
grandpa off the stool;
He got up not hurt a bit and gently

Baked Oysters In Shells
Serves Few Or Many

oysters for each service. Arrange the
oysters in dripping pan, deep shell
downwards, and bake in hot oven
until the shells separate. Do not bake
too long, or the oysters will become
tough 1t may be necessary to open
ONE of them when done. Remove to
a hot serving dish, and pour on each
oyster a teaspoon of the following
mixture: Cream two tablespoons Of
butter, add few grains of salt, a
dash of paprika or a drop of tabasco
sauce and two-thirds a teaspoon Of
lemon juice.
This means a nice thing to serve
for party when people are dropping
in every now and then as few or
many can be prepared at once. They
must be served Immediately though.

Those tasty little dible marine BIZ

grandest little things imaginable. Be-
ing very nourishing and so easily di-
gested they are recommended for sick
people and convalescents as well as
for good healthy people. The fact
that they require little cooking makes
them favorite with the men as well
as the women.
There are many towns that don't
sell oysters in the shell but they come
freshly shucked from nearby town,
this, of course, makes it impossible to
serve this dish.
Here is one very good way to make
baked oysters: Wash, scrub with a

children away,
For they have worried papa and ma
ma the live-long day"

We can't do without the children on
Thanksgiving Day,
To make US jolly and happy all thru

Aunt Nell, who was older, but loving
and kind,
Was always ready and standing in
line
She heard what grandma and grand
pa said
And she curled her lips and twisted
her head;
She didn't think much of what grand
ma and grandpa had said,
For, for some cause or another she
had lived an old maid.
The day was spent with much glad
ness and JOY,
With Johnny and Molly and their dear
girl and boy;
We kissed Aunt Nell, grandma and
grandpa,
We thanked them kindly for our great
day of joy.
The day was far spent and the sun
gone down,
And we hoped into our auto and
went back to town.

We went to grandpa's Thanksgiving
Day;
1t was a day we enjoyed in every
nice way;
We ate of fat turkey, plum pudding
and dressing;
We thought of the day-it sure was
a blessing
We played many games the live-long
day,
And spent the whole time so jolly and
gay.
We went out with grandpa to gam
Dol and run,
And pelt him with snowballs and have
lots of fun;
We ran, hoped and skipped; we gig
gled and laughed,
We chased grandpa's pigs and wor-
RE his calf
We leased old Tom Turkey, who SEEM
ed somewhat mad
Because of the loss of young Tom,
whom for dinner we had.
We went to grandpa's tool shed and
looked all around,
And planes, saws, squares and ham
mers we found;
We went out to use them-saw, ham,
mer and plane
And wherever we used them, we let
them remain;
We battered and nicked and threw
them around,
And some of them l don't know if
grandpa ever found
We went to the woodshed and there
found some pals;
They were all trimming full of all
sorts of nails;
We helped ourselves to the child
tempting stock,
And we went over and drove them in

They, of course, battered and nicked

New Tire Plan

Detroit. July 24-INS-The Ford
Motor Company announced today
that it has presented for govern
ment approval a tire replacement
plan which is designed TO solve the
problem OF transportation for it's
more than 100000 workers without
using rubber or any other critical
materials.
Charles T. Sorenson. Ford vice
president and general manager. an
nounced that the material the Ford
Company planned to use for re-
building tires was substance
known as ethtiehe-PeiysHlPhide or
thickol. Sorenson said that two
pounds OF this substance would
give retread OF one tenth inch
skid thickness, good for 1000 to
5000 miles of moderate" driving.
II the government approves the
plan, Sorenson said, the company
is willing TO offer the process and
methods to the country's war III
dustry as a whole.
The Ford executive said the
rubber substitute as worked out
in the Ford laboratories has been
tested for months on the road. All
kinds OF reclaimed rubber, syn
thetic rubber and rubber substi-
tutes were tested before it was
found that thickol was best under
the circumstances, Sorenson ex-
planned.
1t was emphasized that the thick.
oil could be produced with little or
no use OF vital materials even
the tanks and watts necessary in
the production process being made
from wood or concrete.
Tires treated with thickol would
be sold TO employees at nominal
cost. Sorenson said, and the com
pany would take care TO see the
plan was not abused
