No limit has been set on the placing of orders by Alaska inn porters OF sellers in Alaska.

1T BECOMES more and more apparent
j that this war on the American home
front must be won by BUSINESS MEN
"big' business men.
Even the "intelectuals' now confess
this
A conference of scholars, scientists and
philosophers at Columbia University which
has just adjourned confesses that 1t was
confused" and that al the next confer
ence it will be necessary to bring "men of
affairs" prominently into attempts to solve
current economic problems.
This astonishing concession on the part
of professors that business men are also
thinkers and creators is found in this
paragraph of the conferences resolutions:
ITO make beginning, the conference
should include within its membership
group of men of affairs, or at least
scholars who have become associated with
the direction of human affairs. Such men
of affairs ought to meet at the gatherings
suggested in order that through their par
ticipation in the discussions their contri-
button may be made effective and their
training and vision perfected"
TT ODAY as the war progresses the pro
fessors' and theorists in Washington
are of necessity being pushed more and
more to the rear and the ''men of affairs"
are taking hold of vital production-such
men, for instance, as:
BEARDSLEY RUML, chairman of the
Federal Reserve Board of New York City
and treasurer of Macy's, who seems to
know more about sound taxation bases
than any one in the treasury department.

This is suspicious in the eyes of the

Mr. Kaiser believes this war should be
won in record time.
He has little regard for "black

Midwest regions to get their
winter oil by truck, but certainly
not as many regions as Mr.. Mel
son has specified.
Few people will now attempt
TO criticize technically an order
which must have been prepared
on the basis of the superior
knowledge of Nelson's experts
(minus Ickes and Davies).
A T THE same time, the tone
"A and lack of reasonable ex-
planation offered in the an
nouncement revived suspicious
that here again in this instance
the administration might be
slipping back into its old way of
trying to make people more un-
comfortable than necessary for
the sole purpose of letting them
know a war is on.
The announcement came. un-

WASHINGTON. Sept. 49,
w Donald Nelson's announce
ment, ordering a 25 per cent
fuel oil cut for the Midwest and
East, strangely lacked any
recommendation from Oil Co
ordinator Ickes, who is supposed
to tell him what TO do.
No Official wants to talk about
ii, because Mr.. Roosevelt has
ordered all disagreements kept
out of the public prints. But,
this much is evident:
Mr.. Nelson appointed three
man board to decide on what
should be done about fuel oil, as
distinct from gasoline, and from
Ickes. On this board were Mr..
Ickes, Leon Henderson, the
price holder-downer mot fixer),
and Under War Secretary Pat
terson.
Mr.. Ickes is on vacation, and
his place was taken by his as
sistant, Ralph K. Davies. If
either of them had approved,
you may be certain their recon-
mendation would have been in
the announcement. Their oppo-
sition may be confidently as
sumed.
TNHIS void is not the only sus-
Il picious circumstance of the
order. The announcement lacked
any convincing evidence of just-
fication for the step.
To many an oil man, how
ever, il seems Mr.. Nelson took
in more territory for rationing
than is absolutely needed to
furnish additional fuel cars for
the East in any kind of winter.
AS they see it, If cars are taken
off the Midwest runs, il will no

sibly more a day eventually,
without western rationing, by
speeding up the haul.
They now rush all such ship
ments both ways in special
trains and are trying to cut
down the loading and unloading
period TO about "a hours.
A MOTHER peculiar factor
"A may have Swayed the Mel
son board to vote two 10 one
for this rationing order. Heavy
fuel oils formerly came from
Aruba and Curacao in Vene-
zuela. There is plenty of oil and
production capacity in Texas,
Louisiana and Oklahoma to
make up this supply now cut
by Hitler's submarines.
But, gasoline is made as
by-product of this heavy fuel
oil. If our own heavy oil pro-
duction was expanded. we would
have too much gasoline and no
place to put il, as storage ca
pacities are filed.
1t is just possible that Mr..
Ickes and Mr.. Davis may have
felt that this situation-not the
overall problem of transporta-
tion-would create a Midwest
heating and industrial supply
problem, which would eventually
justify the action which Mr..
Nelson has fastened to take

viting idea that these Tenders
are pretty formidable steel
themselves and might be tossed
onto the pile too, because most
roads nowadays are paved and
throw up no mud. and again we
can reckon on the fact that both
usage, or mileage, and speed will
be cut way down.
In some jobs, OF course. they
are an integral part of the body
and couldn't be taken out whole,
although they could be ampu-
tated with no damage TO the car
beyond its symmetry and resale
or eventual trading value.
DUT il we eliminate all bump
- ers and most tenders, we
are all even on those points and
anyway. after the war, the
automobile of the future will
make the best of today'S jobs
look like a Pope-Toledo.
Meanwhile, the only question
asked of any car will be, does it
run?
There Is an awful lot OF steel
that could be salvaged off live
automobiles as they stand right
now without any sacrifice of
their essential purpose TO get
people where they have TO 60
and get them back.
Many of them carry two wells
in the forward tenders for the
spares, including steel spare
wheels and steel brackets.
NOBODY ever really needed
~ two spares except on long
tours in the desert and mas
much as touring is out and
considering the probably quick
disappearance of the extra
spare. well. there are maybe 20
pounds Of steel from wheel and
bracket doing no good on each
car so designed.
If you think anything Of the
idea. MIR. President, couldn't you
fix IL so as TO eliminate from
the collection any thought that
the Junk man or collector would
make a lot of money for his
trouble in handling the job?
He should get something, 10
be sure. for that is his line of
work. and other civilians who
do things for the government
are paid.
But IL sourS people to believe
that any one along the line in
any of these collections is prof.
teering on their free contribu-
tionS. whereas they will let go
gladly il they know it is going
TO the shipyards and tank
plants free of any lug.
Three hundred thousand tons
of steel are doing nothing but
looking nice and trying. mostly
without success, TO stand of
the carelessness of bum drivers,

100000 Tons Useless St eel
Ride Front and Rear Of Autos
By WEsTBROOK PEGLER

IF 1T us scrap steel we are
\ wanting. Mr.. President. and
not old rusted iron and chicken
wire and broken screwdrivers,
but good, live steel. there Is a
deposit of it. amounting 10
maybe as much as 100000 tons,
serving no necessary purpose, in
the form of automobile bump
ers, which probably could be
had for little more than the
mere asking and the work of
collection.
These bumpers each weigh
from around 10 pounds 10 as
much as 25 pounds and there
are two on every one Of the
28,000, 900 passenger automobiles
in the United States.
A T THIS time, of course. many
"A of them are up on blocks
or, anyway, retired. but for the
purpose of this discussion may
be counted among the 2S,000,-
600, rolling or not, because they
all carry two bumpers. fore and
aft.
My old acknowledgements
says he doesn't see why they
couldn't be spared.
Fortunately, for the purposes
of the collection here suggested,
some manufacturers went in for
enormous bumpers in their last
models before Pearl Harbor and
conversion.
They give car lot Of style,
but rags are royal raiment when
worn for freedoms sake.
MY MONGER'S estimate of
A'l about 100000 tons of steel.
and fine steel, too, is based on
the minimum of 10 pounds per
bumper and two TO a car, plus
a little dividend from the
heavier ones.
There is really no necessity
for bumpers. In a real smash,
they give no protection. anyway,
and are not intended 10. They
are intended only to protect the
tenders, front and rear, in small
scrapes at low speeds.
Given reasonably decent and
conscientious driving and aSSum-
ing that there will be much less
driving from now on, anyway,
and, for economy'S sake. as we
have been seeing in the rationed
states of the east. at a little
under 80 miles an hour. the
bumpers reason for being begins
to be amt.
COMETIMES it defects some
~ clown who doesn't know
how or is too lazy TO dock cor
rectly at the curb or on the lot
and bangs up the car next TO
him. but even in such cases
more often the clown bunts a
stove in the other guys fender
and gets away, anyway.
That suggests the further In
