GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

II YOU want to keep your chin
and throat pretty-keep your chin
up.
A chin strap will help you get
sagging muscles working correctly.
It's of most use when applied ex-
pertly, and when you massage and
exercise. too.
You might ask the operator who
gives you facial treatment to
complete it with a "tie-up.' The
operator first thoroughly cleanSeS
your face and neck, masSaging with
a good emolient cream. Then she
adjusts the chin-strap.
The same routine should be fol-
lowed at home. Good ready-made
chin-straps are cut on the bias, or
are made of elastic material. A
towel folded diagonally to make a
three or four-inch band is effec-
tive if it's used correctly. The
bandage should hold the tissues
smooth and flat, should not di-
tort the face. Let it be just COM
fortably snug.
TRY CHEWING AWAY
THAT BAD CHIN LINE
If you want to tackle a bad chin
line with exercise, try these:
Bend the head forward then
backward until the chin is really
high in air, the throat stretched
muscles tensed. Hold the muscles
thus, tense, and turn the head
slowly to the right, then to the
left, and forward again. Relax and
repeat half dozen times.
Now stand up and push the chin
forward as far as possible. Keep
the position and chew exagger-
atedly. Turn the head to the right
and chew, then to the left, and
then forward
If your double chin is a conse-
auence of general over-fleshineSs
Of course you need diet and a
general reducing exercise regimen
The exercise, massage and chin
strap routine described here will
produce results ii followed faith
FULLY for scme weeks; and 1t Is an
excellent preventive.

MANPOWER

Washington intelligence lags behind
national awareness in many affairs, but
nowhere is it farther behind than in the
matter of the farm labor crisis
1t was last spring that farmers all
over the nation were becoming alarmed
over the prospects of great labor short
age Imperial Valley was no exception.
We knew what our needs were going to
be- and We knew how far behind the sup
ply would trail.
Yet it is only now that official Wash
ington is awakening to the realization
that .he farmers need help, and need it
badly.
Manpower Commissioner Paul Y. Nc
Mutt, possibly because he is heir appar-
ent to the Democratic presidential candi-
dacy at the moment, has been in his pres
ent position for several months, and as
yet no single, comprehensive program
to furnish manpower where manpower is
most needed has appeared on the Wash
ington horizon.
Well gain victory only by action,
abroad and at home Right now, we
need more of it at home.

RIGHT YOU ARE,
MR. PRESIDENT

Few Americans can logically disagree
with President Roosevelt's declaration OF
Monday night that typewriter strateglsts
will not win this war. That is job winch
must be done, and will be done, by the
generals and admirals at whose 1lngef-
tips are all the facts and all the tram
ing necessary to the greatest Job oil MS
tory.
The writer or coiumnist who attempts
to outline for the military leaders some
hard and fast course of action which he
believes must be followed, Is laying hlm-
self open to the grayest error OF all. II
his advice were followed, without re-
gard to the facts, it Is conceivable that
thousands of lives might be sacrificed
needleSsly.
No civilian today is in possession of
sufficient number of facts to counsel a
wise course of action for military lead
ers. Whether civilian could do So even
with the facts at his disposal, Is ques-
tion which could be debated for time
without end. Ut is interesting to note III
passing that Hitler, who charted the
greatest military machine which had been
set up until a year ago, was technically
civilian.)
Where and when a second front should
be opened against the axis must remain
a decision for the military leaders to
make. They know the conditions which
face them, they know the manpoWer and
the equipment they have at hand, they
know the obstacles which must be over
come. No civilian knows these things.
Even knowing them, the average civilian
would be too much subject to emotional
considerations, and too little concerned
wit h emotion less facts
One thing every civilian knows how
ever. A second front must be opened at
the earliest moment practicable in the
view of military leaders.
Nor should there be any lessening of
public wishing for such a second front.
We want second front, as soon as 1t can
be successfully established Acting IN
that desire, we are more liable to MAIN
tain a peak of production, and knowing
of that desire, our military leaders are
more apt to hasten their movements to-
ward the day for which we are all wait
ing.
Americans, yearning to blast the enemy
on a second front, will do better work
than Americans settling back in the apa-
thy of an attitude epitomized in the slight
ly revised version, Let General George
do it."

Disloyalty In Federal Service Proven False
Attorney General Riddle Reports To Congress That Charges Made By Chairman Dies Are
 Not Substantiated

Washington, Sept. 2.-(UP)--At- torney General Francis Riddle re- ported to congress today that sweeping charges of disloyalty in the federal service" were unsub- stantiated by Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiries in 2,095 cases of federal employees accused of be- ing members of subversive organiza- tionS.
 Such charges, made by Chair man Martin Dies, D., Tex, of the House committee on un-American activities, resulted in an appropri- ation of $l00,000 last year for ar FBI investigation.
 Riddle said ti now was evident that large proportion of the com plaints were clearly unfounded' and never should have been sub mitted for investigation 'in the first instance"
 Tt will be observed from the figures that this is conspicuously true of the list submitted by Con- gressman Dies," he added.
 In all, there had been 4,579 com- plaints, including 1,121 names fur nished personally by Dies. AS re- suit of the investigations, 36 per- sons were fired from government service and toher types of disciplin- ary action were taken against 13 others.
 767 Investigations
 Concerning the Dies list of l,121 persons, Riddle reported that 767 in vestigations were ordered after elimination of Implications, persons no longer in federal employ, civ- ilian employees of the war and navy departments and tohers found not within the scope of the project.
 As of Aug. 9, investigations had been completed in 601 cases and reports transmitted to various de- partments and agencies for action. Ninety-seven of the cases were found to involve persons no longer
