CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

How much the people outside OF
Washington are interested IN the
nter-departmental rows OF bureau
cratic administrator Is a question,
But since these inter-palace fights
for power do take place and since
they are sC,eh a large part OF cap
ital life. they have to be reported
from time to time Just to give
complete picture OF the battle OF
Washington.
Currently there is being enacted
another phase of the battle of Pc
troleum. It's a new stage or the
old battle between the well-KnoWn
Harold |. Ickes. Co-ordlnator o1
Petroleum for War. against the
War Production Board and the Oh
flee of Price Administrator ana
the Office of Office OF CIVILIAN
supply. headed by the Well-knoWn
Donald NJ Nelson and the we'll
known Leon Henderson.
This argument goes back long
way. but as revived now 1t Is
showdown to settle who Is 10 DC
boss of petroleum. In the oegh-
n;ns there was the Office OF
petroleum Co-ordinatOr for War,
set up by presidential order.
But this setup was completely
outside the War Production BOARD
Co-ordinator Ickes was thus httie
independent boss over one commod-
ity. apart from the JURISDICTION ol
Nelson and Henderson.
It is out OF this confused DIVISION
of authority that the washington
battle of petroleum has grown.
From the point of view OF CO.
ordinator Ickes, all demands LOT pc
trcle,:ln should come to MS olllce'
ON THE OTHER HAND
office of Price Administration
see it the other way around. Ac-
cording to OPA. it should determine
the minimum requirements tor the
civilian economy, and then aoVlse

dinator how much Of what petro-

ferentlv. The refiners run scream
inc TO Ickes. wanting to know what
they should do. And 1ckes goes
screaming to War Production
BOARD. of which he is not a mem
ber, though Nelson and Henderson
are.
All this broke out in open war
fare the other day when icees
came before WPB. charged that

black market was developing. and
that reserve stocks of petroleum

WE
the Women
By RUTH MlLLETT

Il haven't the heart to go ahead
and plan a THANKSGIVING dinner
this year, with Bill in Ireland" a
mother remarked the other day
Bills her only child, and she
didn't think it would be much fun
for her and Bills father to try to
celebrate without him
But sh els making a mistake if
she decides to skip Thanksgiving.
It's all very well to cut out frillS
and essentials in wartime. But
the celebration within the home
if important holidays isn't any frill.
1t is a real and warm part Of fam
ily life. 1t brings family closer
together
If a husband and wife whose only
child is away from home think it
would be dreary business 10 tidy
and celebrate Thanksgiving alone
they can always find someone who
would like to be included in the
days plans.
If they choose someone who
would have eaten in restaurant
except for their invitation. it is
bound to make them feel better to
be giving that person real
Thanksgiving Day.
REASON FOR THANKS
And it is almost sure to give
them some new reasons for ieel-
ing thankful Their son may be
far from home. but at least he does
have q home to come back to-a
home whose hospitality his parents
can extend to othcrs-to people
like their guest who can't get home
to his own family on Thanksgiving
Day.
We can't let American homes be-
come drcary, mournful places be-
cause the war has taken loved
members from them.
The homes must stay cheerful,
friendly places. They won't if we
haven't the heart tc go ahead and
celebrate our holidays with the
same spirit with which we have
always looked forward to those
days But we have the heart. We
must have-it is important.

House Group Asks Power
To Get Oil Witnesses

Representative Hartley. Repub-
hcan, of New Jersey. asked Congress
yesterday to give special House
committee of which he is vice chair
man power to subpoena Government
officials and other witnesses for its
investigation of rubber, gasoline and
fuel oil programs.
In statement which criticized
Secretary of Commerce Jones and
his aides for giving Congress the
brush off" instead of information
about the synthetic rubber program,
Representative Hartley said the spe-
cial House committee set up in July
to investigate the situation should
be allowed to 60 forward with its
work.
Mr.. Hartley charged that Secre-
tary Jones interviewed to keep STAN
ley T. Grassland, executive president
of the Governments Rubber Reserve
Corp, from testifying before the
committee. He took the position,
Mr.. Hartley said. that Mr.. Grassland
should not answer any questions
until the independent rubber survey
being conducted by the Baruch
Committee is completed and also
that he might be called upon to
give secret military data. Mr.. Hart
ley criticized this stand and charged
that the Secretary is seeking to
cover up inefflciency and bungline
by subordinates.

Independent Party
Backs Charter Board
For Montgomery
Action Replaces
Previous Neutral
Stand on Question

The independent Party of Mont
gomery County, Md, today was on
record as favoring creation Of a
charter board in the county.
The action, taken last night at a
meeting of Independent candidates
in Rockville, replaces the neutral
stand previously taken by the party
and provides clear-cut issue to be
decided by county voters in the gen.
eral election November 3.
In a resolution adopted unani-
mously urging establishment of a
charter board, the group declared:
THE only issue before the voters
with regard to change in govern
ment is the question whether there
shall be a constituted board, known
as charter board, having authority
to draft charter to be submitted to
the voters at a later date"
Democratic Opponents Hit.
Asserting that the Independent
Party, a coalition of anti-organiza-
ton Democrats and Republicans,
favors the creation of charter
board, the group added that "it will
be up to the people !" to deter
mine whether the charter
as drafted is worthy to be adopted" j."
At the same time, Democratic op-
ponents of the charter movement
were charged with attempting to
confuse the issue and thereby
showing their fearfulness because
they know their own weakness"
"If at any time the people of
Montgomery County desire to I'M
prove the form of government under
which they live" the resolution
stated, it ill BELTS any po-
litical leadership or group to attempt
the embarrassment of their effort
upon any untruthful or misleading
basis"
Previous Stand Recalled.
Joseph A. Cantrel and j. Bond
Smith, co-chairmen Of the Publicity
Committee Of the United Democratic
Organization of the county, previous
ly had charged that the aims of the
Charter Committee and those of the
Independent party were identical.
This had been denied by Allen H.
Gardner. chairman of the committee,
who declared that the movement is
organized on a partisan basis.
When the slate of Independent
candidates was filed August %, Clar-
ence H. Small, who heads the ticket
as candidate for State Senator, said
the Independent party was neither
for nor against the charter move
ment.

 It was sad sight that met the reporters who were permitted to inspect the il-fated Lafayette, once the Normandie In a maze of pipes and sal vagng apparatus they groped their way through an enormous hulk which the utmost in ocean luxury. topsy- y-turvy world of gloom was this. with sides becoming floors and decks becoming sides for the ship lies her port side, her bow resting on ledge of rock her stern in mud Yet some time next year, and at indefinite cost, the Normandie win again ply the seas, carrying troops to the scene of fighting.

Midway, or the southern from Australia, it is the only land invasion road Also it is the only short line of contact with Russian and Chinese allies
 Because of these decisive strategic factors, and the rapidly approaching winter in the worlds worst weather zone, the Andreanof move comes not mip- ute too soon The time for driving the enemy out Of Kiska is very short. But, now that have weather stations and airfieds only 240 miles away, from which we have been softening up the enemy Qualifications at Kiska during recent months, there is a good chance of success.
 The weather, which has befriended the enemy in the western Aleutians, helped us in the Andreanof landing. Our forces landed in fog and rain without discovery by enemy air patrols and had 10 days or of peace in which to dig in.
 In addition to cutting in half the distance be- tween our nearest base and the enemy, we are now in good position to block the Japs' anticipated northern swing through the Bering Sea to flank both Siberia and Alaska
 Best of all, forces are nearer the Jap Kurle stepping stones to Tokyo.

ARMISTICE DAY, 1912

There is serious doubt to whether Juneauites will be able to give Armstice Day it's customary cele bration this year Certainly, it seems pontess and futile to attempt to recapture the spirit of the or gnal Armistic Day-November II, 1918-when we celebrated the end of the war that was to end all wars
 But at the same time it is not the fault of the men who were in uniform in 1918 that their hopes and those of Americans in general were not realized
 So whatever form this Armstice Days celebra- on takes ill speeches and other events there should be grateful remembrance of what our fighting men undertook in 1917 and 18
 On this Armstic Day, might devote a little time to thinking about why the end of the first World War failed to bring lasting peace
 When the men in uniform, and those who are yet to go, come marching home again, there will be another national holiday to commemorate the achievements of two generations of fighting men and the completion of job which started a quarter of century ago.

SENATOR TYDINGS of Mary land-Though the Maritime Com mission isn't very proud of it, I now find that some of the ships which they withheld from your scrap iron constituent, to be used by the Government for operation, later were sold for scrap and sub sequently found their way to Ger many. Thus you and your consti- tuent certainly don't deserve cri- tlcism for doing what the Govern ment did. Sale of these particular ships for scrap occurred during the brief period when Joe Kennedy took over the Commission from Secretary of Commerce Roper Later the Maritime Commission reversed the Kennedy policy, so that, ac- cording to the Commission, 32 of the ships withheld from your scrap iron constituent are now in opera tion-or at least were until some were sunk by submarines.

 Washington announces a peaceful occupation of the Andreanof Islands in the mid -Aleutians, which apparently began the last week in August Consid- erng the long delay and preparation for that most neglected of all fronts, the public now has a right to expect a sustained stepping stone offensive

KEEPING AHEAD OF
 WASHINGTON

DAVID BOEHM west Los An geles-I like your idea of COM MUNITY COOPERATORS FOR VICTORY. It seems to me that one of the unfortunate results of the last ten years of increasingly centralized government is tn t people all over the country have come, more and more, to look to- ward Washington. I see it every day in the streams of people jam ming this city, most of them patri- otic people trying to find ways of helping win the war faster, and thinking that by coming to Wash ington they can help do it.
 That is their big mistake.
 What most of them don't realize is that the place where we are going to win the war, in the long run, is back home That's where the production is, and the war bond selling and the real sacrifice. That's where the hope of America is.
 The President came back from his recent trip apparently sur prised that the country was ahead of Washington He found out some thing that has been true for a long time And I think the coun- try would be even farther ahead if the President went on the radio some day and emphasized in detail what he has already hinted at in talks with friends-namely, that it would be good idea for commu- mites to set up their own organi- zations and become absolutely in- dependent of Washington.
 A lot of communities already have done this. But others haven't. There are thousands of men and women all over the country, anxious, itch ing to do anything to help win the war. Representative of war veterans, service clubs, all sorts of people write to me every day saying that the Government doesn't tell them what they can do.
 Of course they don't realize that the Government is so harassed and
