It's up to her to develop her
own capacity for taking it.
So maybe it wouldn't be a bad
idea for women to start trying
to get themselves in shape before
they are thrown into the job of
carrying on alone at home while
their men are fighting the war.
The first thing they ought to do
is get a check-up on their health
and get any fixing up done that
has to be done.
Then they ought to get in as
good physical condition as pos
sible, watching their diet, getting
enough sleep and exercise, and
taking care of small illnesses so
that they don't develop into some
thing more serious. -.
MEET YOUR HUSBANDS
BUSINESS ASSOCIATE
And they ought to take over the
''office work" connected with rum
ming the family, while their Eus-
bands are still around to guide them
in their business transactions. 1t
wouldn't be bad idea if their
husbands would take them around
and introduce them to the bank
ers, lawyers, Insurance men, etc,
with whom they will have to deal.
Right now they should start
making decisions on their own in
stead of always putting off making
a direct independent decision
with, I'll hav' to talk it over
with my husband.
Uncle Sam hasn't time to bother
with toughening up dependent
housewives for the job of running
family single-handed. So it's
up to the women to get themselves
in shap for whatever responsible
ties and hardships are in store

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
The Federal Bureau Of 1nves-
tigation and the intelligence
services Of the War and Navy De-
partments are making strenuous
efforts to cope with agents work
ing for the Axis in this country.
If their efforts are not always
successful and II much is left un-
done. the Federal men are not to
be blamed, for it Is only since
1910 that attention has been paid
to this work, which Is as i'm
portant as fighting 4 battle with
ships, planes and men.
Until . few months before Pearl
Harbor the Government treated
the intelligence and counter es-
pionage services like step-chil-
dren. American counter espion-
age and anti-fifth column serv-
ices are . recent imprcvisat ton.
While the men who have been
drafted for this work are doing
their best. they are still far be-
hind In the technique Of coping
with experienced enemy agents
and lack sufncent trained per-
sonnel for this kind of warfare.
The Nazis and the Japs have
been preparing for espionage in
the United States for the last 10
years. Since 1896, however, they
have stepped-up their activities
and sent their best specialists
into this country.
The United States Army and
Navy never have maintained
proper espionage and counter
espionage services in peace time.
The r. B. I. never was allowed
to do anything along those lines,
principally because Of the short
age Of personnel. The main Job
Of ]. Edgar Hoover's boys was
to catch kidnappers and forgers.
Hence, neither the r. B. I. nor
the Army or Navy intelligence
services (the latter two are more
aptly described as military in
formation centers) developed
agents capable of dealing with
the highly trained spies Of our
enemies.
Besides their own nationals,
the Japanese and the Nazis are
using men and women OF other
nationalities, including Ameri-
can-born and American natural
lied citizens. When the war broke
out and enemy aliens were placed
under strict supervision, the
enemy was able to draw on these
non-alien agents. Despite censor
ship and control Of our borders,
many channels Of immediate
communication remain open be-
tween the United States and
Germany and Japan.
The enemy has at his disposal
highly trained men who direct
operations of Axis agents.
Three distinct groups are known
to exist in the United States:
Evening star., 1942-03-26
This Changing World
Lote Stort, Shortage Of Troned Personnel
Hondicop Fight on Axis Spies and Agents

Actual spies, who report move
ments Of troops and ships, gather
information about production and
try to obtain blue prints Of our
latest warships and airplanes;
saboteurs, men and women who
are paid to destroy war plants,
machines and tools and attempt
to destroy railroads and bridges:
and, finally, the largest and most
difdcult group to deal with, the
fifth columnists. whose job is to
destroy confidence in the armed
forces, to whisper rumors Of
disasters.
These men and women are
moving In all circles, from the
drawing rooms of Washington
society to the lunch counters and
washrooms Of war plants. They
pose as super-patriots, who are
panied by the ineficency Of the
civilian and military leaders Of
the Nation, or as people who
know it all" and are willing to
impart their knowledge to less
privileged. The favorite tune of
these agents Is that we don't have
q ghost Of q chance to defeat the
Axis because we are always too
late with too little.
The war will end, they say in
complete collapse Of our social
and economic system. The squan-
dering methods of the admins
tration will bring us to the brink
Of ruin long before the Axis has
been exhausted. Since speech is
free and many of these birds of
Ill omen are well connected"
little can be done against these
most powerful auxiliaries Of the
Axis military forces. Their work
Is facilitated by the fact that
there have been instances of
incompetence on the part Of the
civilian administration.
In order that these short
comings may be corrected they
are being brought to light in the
press and on the floor of the
Senate and House. If this did
rot happen we would go the way
OF France. where during the cru
cial months between September,
1899, and June, 1910, all public
criticism of the war effort ruth
lessly was suppressed. The fifth
columnists take full advantage of
the blunders Of certain individuals
or organizations to prove "be-
yond doubt" that we are not yet,
and never will be geared for war
against the Axis.
In dealing with the NTH colum-
nists, the Federal men are handi-
capped because they have no
method Of obtaining evidence
which will place them behind
bars. There Is no specific legis-
lation. If evidence were obtained,
to bring about conviction of those
who spread rumors with intent
to assist the enemy.

The nub Of the 40-hour work

ing more than 40 hours in one
week. To the ordinary citizen and
to many members of Congress
such q system. In wartime,
seems all wrong. AS has been
explained by the President and
many others, the 40-hour work
week law does not prevent men
from working more than 40
hours a week. It merely makes
it possible to obtain time-and-a-
half pay for every hour worked
in excess Of the 40 hours. That
Is what millions Of workers are
getting now.
It is this bonus for working
more than 40 hours, plus the
idea that the mere framework
of a 40-hour work week tends to
slow up production, that has
given the demand for suspension
Of the law the great impetus it
has shown. The drive for sus-
pension for the war period con-
tinues, despite the fact that the
President has thrown his great
influence against any change in
the law, and despite the fact that
the officials charged with bring
ing about the greatest possible
production Of war materials-in-
cluding Donald M. Nelson, head
of the War Production Board;
1t. Gen. William Knudsen, offi-
cials of the War and Navy De-
partments and Admiral Emory
Land, head of the Maritime
Commission. charged with pro-
ducing bridge of ships-have all
declared against any change IN
the law at this time.
The bills for the suspension Of
the law, offered by Representa-
tive Vinson Of Georgia and Re-
preventative Smith Of Virginia,
may be amended In committee
and brought to the House pro-
viding for a 48-hour work week,
with time and a half to be paid
for all hours of work In excess
Of 48. This would be a COM
promise. 1t would leave in effect
the principle of the 40-hour law,
calling for time and half for
overtime work. At the same time
it would have the effect of re-
ducing the pay of the men-and
greatly curtailing the cost of
war production. provided the in
dustries having these war con-
tracts with the Government are
not allowed to add this reduction
in costs to their gains for work
performed. The Smith and
Vinson bills, in addition to sus-
pending the 40-hour week, pro-
vide for the recapture Of all
profits Of the contractors over 6
per cent.
Compromise Draws Support.
Speaker Rayburn has come out
fatty for the change to the 49,
hour week. The proposal has
gained other adherents in both
House and Senate. Mr.. Smith,
though he still prefers the out
right suspension of the present
law. would accept the compromise
of 48 hours If the committee
makes that change. The Naval
Affairs Committee, headed by
Mr.. Vinson, is working on the
measure now.
Organized labor. represented
by both the A. F. L. and the
c. L, O., is fighting any change
In the law. 1t has, however,
agreed to doing away with
double-time pay for all work in
war plants on Sundays and holi-
days-at the suggestion of the
President.
The smart thing for labor to
do, in the opinion of some of its
friends in Congress, would be to
