 NO PUBLICITY BARUCH
 Sidney Weinberg, chief back stage man for Donald Nelson was talking to columnist Frank Kent. "Who does Bernie Baruch have for publicity man?" he asked.
 He doesn't have anyone" re- piled Kent.
 "He must" argued Weinberg. Haven't you noticed the mar vicious press he gets. He must have whizz of 8 publicity man."
 "Baruch's only publicity man." said Kent, "is doing the right thing and telling the truth. If more public officials did that they would need fewer publicity men,"
 WHY MATERIALS
 ARE SCARCE
 Some day a Congressional in- vestigating Committee may do a thorough job on the tragic way in which production of strategic war materials has been held back, unwittingly or otherwise, by cer- tain big industries and their $l- a-year friends in the WIPE. If ever fully published, the story will amaze the public.
 The Aluminium Company of Am erica and its $1-a-year friends in WIPE didn't want to develop low grade aluminium clays in the U. s. A., insisted on importing its own clay across the submarine infested Caribbean.
 The British American tin car- tel and WIPE friends long Op- posed construction of a tin smelter in the United States which might break the tin mos nop0ly after the war.
 Friends Of the big steel conl- panies on WIPE opposed the de- velopment of manganese in the Far West, because, according to Secretary IckeS, they are worried about postwar competition.
 Latest hOId-up of new mineral processes has been WIPES blocking of iron and steel de- vel0pment in the West and South through the cheap, quick, sponge iron process.
 With the nation desperately short of iron and steel it is now revealed that as early as last June. Secretary Ickes pleaded with Donald Nelson not to accept the sponge iron veto of the experts in the National Academy of Sciences. ACADEMIC WINDOW
 DRESSING
 This National Academy of Sci- ences is an organization which could stand some scrutiny. It has set up committees to advise the WIPE on iron, manganese. alumi- mum and most strategic materials However, both Ickes and Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming have charged that these committees were mere academic window-dres- sing for the big metal companies.
 For instance, one Academy re- port written for the WIPE opposing sponge iron was actually authored, according to Senator OMahoney. by William A. Haven, vice pres ident of Arthur G. Mckee and Company, manufacturers of blast furnaces. How a manufacturer of blast furnaces could be expected to be impartial regarding a new iron process which does away with blast furnaces is hard to under stand.
 Representatives of big business are packed on other WIPE sub- committees which pass on new methods of getting strategic ma terials-methods which frequently compete with iong-entrenched big business methods. Here are some of them.

Secrecy Wells Overall War Supply Plan
BY PETER EDISON Waterbury Democrat washington
 Correspondent

A little grumbling is beginning to be heard in Washington to the ef- feet that the trouble with the American war production effort, the manpower situation and all the other related war activities is that there is no master plan. In other words, no grand strategy.
 The complaint runs that the Army has simply asked for and is letting contracts for nnitless qian- titles of everything in sight, without

WHAT GOOD ARE FIGURES?

 on the quantities of every item tt would like to have. But what good are those figures if there is not enough steel in the whole country to make those quantities? Or what good is bill of requirements if 1t calls for an expenditure of more money than the entire national in- come?
 The question then resolves itself into whether the Army goals have been set too high, whether "all-out" has been interpreted too literally, re- sulting in the overproduction of some items of military supply, to the detriment of balanced war pro- duction which is simply the produc- ton of the right quantities of the right articles at the right time.
 The easy Army answer that ir wartime it's impossible to have too much of anything simply does not make sense.
 Fortunately, Donald Nelson has apparently not been fooled by any such loose thinking. He declares there are constant discussions with the Army and Navy chiefs of staff to make them adjust their demands to what can be supplied.
 Eight pairs of shoes for every sol- dier in Egypt is reasonable, for a pair of shoes wears out in two weeks on the desert and 1t takes two months to ship him new ones. There are always seven replacement pairs in the pipeline" Elsewhere, four pairs per soldier is enough and the demands can be cut back to that figure. The same principle applies to tanks, guns, mess kits or corneo Willie.
 Beyond that point, the Army po- sition on. this master plan can moi be stated. The grand strategy is o1 course the secret of the top com. mand and 1t is right that it should remain so. One Army complaint is that too many people know the grand strategy already. Thus fl. nance officers and War Production Board braintrusters who feel that tc do their jobs effectively they shoult know what the general staff t thinking are left in the dark, ane a part of this gripe that the Army has no master plan perhaps stems from these civilian government of' ficials.
 NO OVERALL LIST
 Looking at this master plan ques. ton from the WIPE point of view however it soon becomes apparent that while the Army may have itI goals for every item of supply, these totals are not the figures on which the War Production Board can bast It's calculations, for the WIPE mus cover not only Army, but Navy Lend Lease, United Nations and thu minimum requirements for the Am erican civilian population as well.
 WIPE spokesmen admit that WIPE does not yet have this overall bill o requirements. It is claimed tha these totals are rapidly being as sembled through the WIPE require ments committee now headed bN Ferdinand Eberstadt. Donald Mel son declares that Eberstadt is mak' ing rapid progress in the schedul' ing of programs for finished pro ducts, but the fact remains tha neither WIPE nor any of its prede' cessors, SPAB, OPM or NDAC ha ever at any time had any accurat' idea of how much of every materia it was going to take to supply tn, Army.

and January, after Pearl Harbor. There is a plan for l942 and plan for 1943, with definite goals on every item. There is even supposed to be one for 1944.
 The mere size of the program has been one handicap to conf1ning Its specifications to paper. The changes in the war situation, necessitating the making of brand new plans, have also made accurate planning next to impossible. Difficulties of making national inventories cannot be ignored.
 But in spite of all these perfectly good reasons why there is as yet no master plan for a grand economic strategy, 1t is apparent one diff culty is the fact that there are too many sets of books in the govern | ment,

MistLetOe Has KnO1Un
Long, EventtuI History

Of all the Christmas greens, the
bestowed, probably, is the mistle-
toe, which likewise has experienced
the most eventful history of all
plants.
In the days of pagan worship in
England the mistletoe was chosen
for great honors, being cut from its
host, the oak tree, with golden axes
It was gathered for the people and
a bit given to each person to ward
off illness.
But the plant paid dear for these
honors for when the Christian church
was established it was not allowed
in any church because of its pagan
association, and it is told that
preachers even would stop in their
sermons if tiny bit were spied and
the service waited until the offending
bit of green was removed.
In later centuries it became again
the symbol of peace and friendship
and has since been tackled on the
doorway as token of friendly greet
ing.

Evenin' shadows lengthen on canyon

A lonesome coyote walls,
Thru an empty country now
since our boys are gone,
To answer their country's call.
Like their hardy fathers who before
them,
When danger came upon the
land:
Quietly and just fer while,
They have put aside a way of
life,
And gone to give a helping hand.
Over new ranges they ride today,
With different job to do,
But with the same spirit as
always,
That our freedom may endure
There is quietness in the air,
That to you, Old Paint, must
seem strange.
1t is the new dawn of freedom,
That has stolen today upon this
range.
1t is the new song Of freedom,
That is rising as the tide,
And spreading slowly round the
world,
In cause that cannot be denied.
And we shall wait, Old Paint,
For we too have a job to do,
Out here in these wind-swept
hills,
Alone, now until this war is thru.
So tonite we are with you. bols,
In all the places that you may be,
Observation-Disclosures Africa,
On tropic waters in the far South
Seas.
Our thoughts are with you, boys,
Waiting this Christmas Day alone,
And we shall keep the home fires,
To welcome you back again, boys,
When this war is won.
