1t simply is not in the President to
make admissions Of that kind. There
is a curious self-esteem about the man
that drives him to persist in blunder
rather than concede that he has blum
dered. His record is full of instances
This is Just another of long
sequence, but coming at this time, it
is disheartening generally. 1t weak
ems belief in his ability to measure up
to his own high oratorical standards,
In brief, he talks better than he acts.
In this case, instead Of getting a new
Director for the OCD in place of the
man who clearly ought not to have
anything to do with it, he retains that
man as the head of the organization
and, pulling another-Dean James M.
Landis-out Of his law school, makes
him the executive" at salary Of
$4,000 a year.

The Same Old Formula

Washington, Jan. 10.
The announced reorganization by
the President Of the Office of Civilian
Defense is discouraging. 1t is not a
real reorganization; it is phony one.
Unable to bring himself to the point
of graphing the problem in a forth
right manner Mr.. Roosevelt again has
temporized, compromised and concili-
ated. The result is an arrangement
not satisfactory to anyone and which
it requires unreasonable optimism to
believe will function well.

1t is typical of the way Mr.. Roose-
welt operates. 1t is the sort of thing
he has done with the production
machinery three distinct times since
the creation of the first Defense Com
mission and which, so it is reported
he is about to do again. When an
agency boys down, the President
does not clean it up and start over
Instead, his formula is to impose a
new board on the original one, shuttle
things around bit, and if he brings
in new men he keeps the old ones, too
Having done that, he assumes the
situation has been Strengthened out
But it very quickly becomes clear that
it has not been Strengthened at all. All
he has done is to increase the con
fusion and cost, because, while he has
shifted new men to the top or neal
the top, he has not cleared out the old
men. The result is a mess.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-15

The President himself has said that
the real weakness of the New Deal lay
in it's administration. He should
know, and certainly there is ample
proof. He and his aides have gone on
the principle that speech made, a
law passed and board created
meant that the objective had been
achieved. Actually, all it has meant
has been an increase in the jobhold-
ers and bewilderment without prog
ress. That was the story before the
Hitler threat and it has been the
story of the defense effort since its
Inauguration in 1910, when the war
clouds grew-too black to ignore. This
business of Mayor LaGuardia and the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-15

So far as Mr. Lands personally is
concerned, there is nothing to be said
in criticism of him. Nevertheless,
there are several things that can be
and are being-said One is that there
is nothing in the Lands record as a
lawyer and a teacher to stand him out
as an organizer on the large scale
required by OCD. Another is that the
Pres d en- S reorganization" was
timed to block threatened House ac-
ton to knock Mr.. LaGuardia loose
from the OCD and transfer the whole
outfit to the War Department. The
third is that it is unfortunate that
whenever Mr.. Roosevelt brings a new
man into a key position he always
picks third-term New Dealer and
avoids such men as Wendell Willkie,
Herbert Hoover, Howard Bruce,
Lewis Douglas, John E. Hanes, Alfred
P. Sloan, James A. Farley, all Of
whom are available. 1t lends color to
the charge that he is trying to win
the war just with the people he likes.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-15

The objections to this are clear. If
Mr.. LaGuardia is to be shorn Of
power and Mr.. Lands the real boss,
then the Mayors position becomes
silly and the effort to save his face
is useless expense. On the other hand,
if Mr. LaGuardia is to continue as
boss and Mr. Lands is to serve under
him and Mrs. Roosevelt, then there is
no change in the situation except that
$4,000 has been added to the cost.
And if Nh LaGuardia and Mr.. Lands
are to have "coequal power" then
another of these Knudsen-Hillman
situations which have so handicapped
the OPM will have been created. Al
together. it is an absurd state of af-
fairs which obviously cannot last. In
due time it will be followed by another
shift; but, meanwhile, the middle of
the civilian defense management re-
mains unimproved, save that at least
one Of the top executives will give
his whole time to the job.

OCD is in tune with past perform

OCD is in tune with past perform
ances.
The appointment by the President of
Mayor LaGuardia and the appoint
ment by Mayor LaGuardia Of Mrs.
Roosevelt as his assistant put in
charge of this important job two part
time amateurs, each immersed in
many other activities and neither
with any Gift for organization. With
the outbreak of war, it became clear
that here was a situation which could
no longer be tolerated. In personal
conversation, Mr.. Roosevelt told vari-
GUS people that he felt Mr.. La
Guardia had as much as any man
could do to look after the defense Of
the city of which he is Mayor and
that something had to be done. The
public and press demand for his
resignation has been loud and con-
slant. It's only effect was to develop
the natural obstinacy of Mr.. La
Guardia and cause him violently to
denounce his critics as pro-Japanese.
When it became clear, as it has
been for weeks, that the LaGuardia
position was untenable, the natural
and logical action for the President

The day before the fall Of Bataan,
Gen. Wainwright sent for Col.
Romulo and said:

The colonel demurred. but VAIN

After a nightmarish search through

swarmed over Bataan, but hadn't

they were to make their take-off

Reveals Burning

The Japanese have burned the
city of Cebu. second largest in the
Philippines, because Of the resist
ance its Filinipo citizens put up to
the invaders. 1t was reevaled here
yesterday by 1t. Col. Carlos Romulo.
Col. Romulo, who arrived in
Washington yesterday from Aus
tralia on special mission for Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, was one Of the
heroes of the Bataan campaign and
is believed to have been the last
officer to leave that area before the
japanese closed in.
The Japs put the torch. to Cebu
sometime in May, according to in
formation which reached American
headquarters in Australia.
"They burned the city because
even the women were firing on them
from the windows" said Col. Rom
ulo. Radio Toxic said that it
should serve as a warning to all
Filiponos that resistance was useless
Chief Justice Captured.
But from what we have heard,
the Filipinos haven't taken the
warning" the colonel said, smiling
bitterly.
The chief Justice of the Philip
pines, Jose Abad Santos; his son
and Philippine colonel were cap
tured by the Japs in Cebu, Col.
Romulo said. The chief justice had
been on Corregidor with President
Quezon, but had remained in the
islands.
Col. Romulo won a Pulitzer prize
for correspondence this year for the
stories he wrote for his Manila
paper, accurately forecasting the
shape of things to come in the
Orient. He went into the field as a
major when the Japanese invaded
and was promoted by Gen. Mac
Arthur.

Military Leave Ban
Seen as Ha|ting Drain
On Police, Fire Forces
D. c. Heads Deny Policy
Requires designations;
Mason ExpIoins Plan

The Commissioners yesterday act
ed to clarity their opposition to
military leave for policemen and
firemen after one report was cir
culated that such employees would
have to resign from the force to
take military posts.
The city heads insisted that they
would aapprove no military leave
for any firemen o policemen
after yesterday, because the men
are needed too badly where they
are. They also denied that resigna-
ton was necessary and said that
persons entering the armed services
would have to be given their jobs
back after the war If they were
mentally and physically sound.
Asked II leaving the two services
for military posts without reSigning
from the present jobs and then
returning to them after the war
did not constitute military leave"
Commissioner Guy Mason said there
was a technical difference. Grant
ing Of official military leave. he ex-
pldllCu, COIlSlltulcS DlcSSlIlR
from the local government on the
leave. Without this, he said, police
and firemen will not be accepted
for the Navy or Coast Guard here
under An agreement with Secretary
Knoz, and selective service officials
have agreed to defer all police and
fremen.
Hence the refusal to grant mill
tary leave officially will prevent po-
lice and firemen from getting into
the Navy or Coast Guard, or the
Army If it adopts the same policy.
More than 100 police and more
than so firemen already have gone
on military leave. and other appli-
cations have been filed.
The Commissioners feel the serv-
ices have been ''raiding" the police
force because the men have already
been trained and act as guards or
military police.
