The vote was indicative of The ssee.-
ing that had arisen over the manner
in which the amendment was passed.
The second War Powers bill, an
act to expedite the prosecution of
the war, came from the Judiciary
Committee. One glance showed
that the 10 sections should have
been as many bills-so divergent
was their subject matter.
The bill was a demonstration of
confusion that seems altogether un-
pardonable. Some of it was poor
legislation and as such dangerous
to the best interests of the country,
quite regardless of the merit or
much in the bill. Discussion was hot,
and opinions on the majority side
clashed much and often.

LOSING THEIR TIRES

Automobile owners in Baltimore
County really don't know what to do
with their cars in order to keep the
tire thieves away from the vehicles.
During the past month many tires
have been stolen from county owned
autos and garages. Several vehicles
were stolen in Baltimore and driven
to various sections in this county
where they were robbed of tires,
wheels, tubes, spotlights, radios, etc
During the past week, tire was
stolen from the auto of Charles F.
Mahle, of Chase, another tire was
Bowman, Midleboro, and a tire and
wheel were missing from the vehicle
owned by L. j. Ritter, Gainesville.

Much yet remains to be done to
bring our methods Of Federal per-
sonnel administration to the point
set by the most forward looking
authorities In this field, but we are
going ahead and, with the support

we shall contlSe to progress.
Public Opinion Often Hostile.
It Is impossible to overestimate
the importance Of public. opinion in
relation to the sound ala construc-
tive solution Of problems affecting
Federal personnel. Even todag, I
regret to say. these problems too
often are faced on the basis Of
prejudice and animus.
Too often these questions, 50 COM
plex, SO technical, 50 broad in their
implications. are the subject of
sweeping, iu-advised and incorrect
generalizations-the exact opposite
Of the scientific attitude which must
prevail If We are to reach wise and
just solutions.
I believe, on the contrary, that We
viii appraise the question fairly,
honestly and with full regard for
those values which Americans cher.
ish 50 much. and for the preserva-
ton of which most Of us are labor
ing with such right good will.
Federal employees today truly are
in the vanguard Of our great nation
al effort.
In keeping our eyes on the goal
Of ultimate success and victory, let
us not lose any Of our priceless
heritages. Let us remember that
what we are striving to achieve is q
safe and secure America in which
each man and woman who works
shall be able to purchase an ade-
quate share Of the necessities of
life, and shall work under fair, de-
cent and equitable conditions.
I do not believe that the Ameri-
can people want to penalize those
who are bearing such heavy share
of the duties and responsibilities
Of these stirring yet infinitely try
ing times.
For that reason I feel confident
that there will be wholehearted and
ungrudging public support Of some
fair method of Federal salary ad-
justment. And that, likewise, there
will be q new understanding of the
very real importance to each citizen
of every step taken to improve the
whole system of Federal personnel
administration.

lished in connection with this pro-
gram.
Stenographers Needed.
The Civil Service Commission has
placed liaison representatives in the
defense agencies, in order that
prompt service might be given the
operating branches of the Govern
ment. Needed employees often have
been furnished within q few hours
after the request for them has been
received. Problems involving civil
service procedure have been settled
on the job, and the defense effort
has thereby been speeded up be-
cause Of the prompt and efficient
operation of the commission and its
employees.
The Civil Service Commission is
still working day and night to find
the necessary employees for our war
effort. Information as to types OF
workers needed can be had at any
first or second class post ONCE, at
the district offices Of the commits
sion, and through many newspapers
and radio broadcasts. The need
for typists and stenographers is
urgent. Examinations are being
given almost daily and those who
qualify are promptly inducted into
the service.
There IS need also for many ex-
perts In various lines, for engineers
technicians and others. Opportu-

when war is done. The one thing that

Allied diplomatic arrangements in North
Africa. for cooperation with Gen. Henri
Giraud, proved insufficient as lubri-
cant for the Allied invasion and the
prestige of Darlan among the French
military was needed by the United Ma

While the Axis was losing prize last
week the Allies were gaining one-Dakar
and the whole hinterland of French
West Africa. The change in Dakar is
established fact. No longer need the
Western Hemisphere countries, espe-
cially Brazil, fear an Axis invasion
launched from Dakar, whose strategic
geographical position also played a part
in the maintenance of our Vichy policy.
In all it was a sad week for Hitler. The
Soviets pounded the Axis armies back

pushed slowly but steadily forward in
Tunisia while the Afrika Korps in Libya
continued its withdrawal toward Ell

look for Allied control of all North
Africa before the coming new year is very
cid is good. A strike at Europe in the
spring is almost sure. Before then per-
haps the Axis will draw another country

PANAMA.-Darien the void Jungle
land from whose shores Balboa first
waded into the Pacific Ocean and where
savage Indians still roam the warpath,
Is on its way to yearly production Of
several thousand pounds of crude rub
Der for the United Nations.
The yield won't be much, stacked
alongside the total war needs but it
will help. And it is an indication that
no tricks are being missed in hunting
out sources which will help make up
the supplies lost when the Japanese
overran the Netherlands Indies and
Malaga.
The first crinkly sheets Of the raw
Darien rubber, refined from a spraying
stand of native trees deep in some of
the Americas worst jungle country, has
arrived in Panama City. Two Ameri-
can technicians of the Rubber Reserve
Co. of the United States, just back from
an inspection tour of the property, say
the crude from this development will
keep coming in.
The Darien venture is only segment
of many-sided program fostered by
the Rubber Reserve Co., an RFC SUBJ
sidiary, to find, develop and market
native rubber now growing wild all
over this tropical Isthmian republic
Needing the project is veteran United
States rubber technician, George L.
Seeley of Citronella, Ala, assisted by
Gilbert Brown of East Cleveland Ohio,
a technician with rubber experience in
the jungle plantations of Liberia, Africa.
Since early spring, Mr.. Seeley has been
on the Isthmus scouting native rubber
possibilities, educating local tappers to
approved modern methods of tapping,
and arranging for an American buying
agency to purchase the crude. Hearty
cooperation has come from Panama's
Ministry Of Commerce and Agriculture.
Panama Signs Agreement.
The projects passed beyond the pos
sibility and promise stage in mid-Sep-
TENDER when Panama signed an agree
ment by which 1t guaranteed to the
United States all rubber tapped in the
republic. A month later the Rubber
Reserves buying agency went into
