HONOLULU, Oct. 24.-Three days
of intensive search by all available
Army and Navy sky and sea forces
failed to uncover a trace tonight Of
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, American
war ace of the World War, and the
crew OF a big Army plane that dis
appeared over Hawaiian waters.
Searchers hoped to find Capt.
Rickenbacker and his crew of per-
haps nine men floating on life RATS
that the plane carried. This type Of
aircraft sinks quickly. But aviators
in the Pacific war have been picked
up from similar RATS weeks after
their planes have gone down.
While military authorities talked
little about the quest. beyond saying
it was continuing with all available
forces, the greatest note Of hope
came from Capt. Rickenbacker's
wife in New York.
Eddie will turn up" she said
Hes too old hand to get lost in
any airplane now"
Capt. Rickenbacker survived the
crash Of an airliner near Atlanta
two years ago, and returned to the
air as soon as his broken bones
were healed. Others among the
passengers and crew were killed
Capt. Rickenbacker shot down q

The last of 1873 Signal Corps en-
listed men, who have been living for
more than two months in a convert
ed warehouse at 400 Georgia ave
nue. NV, have found quarters IN
boarding houses and private homes
within a mile of the Capitol Radio
Engineering Institute where they
are attending classes.
Capt. H. R. Clapp. jr., oficer IN
charge of Signal Corps detachment,
said places for the men were To-
Gated quickly because large class
was graduated last week. Accord
ingly, the men who had been billet
ed in the warehouse moved into
homes and rooming places formerly
occupied by the graduates.
The same day the soldiers made
plans for evacuating the warehouse,

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH CONGRESS?

We suppose this is the umpteenth-milion editorial written h
the United States this past year concerning the low state tc
which our national representatives have fallen in the eyes Of
many people.
In spite of all these criticisms, we are willing to concede that
along with the party hacks, the spineless and the witless, there
are men of courage and knowledge in Washington.
We are still inclined to think that the prime requisite of any
chosen representative of the people is that good old-fashioned
commodity vulgarly referred to as quits 1t may be more
necessary than a high intellect - the courage to vote his own
convictions in spite of the knowledge that pressure groups are
out for his scalp, the firmness to hold to the fundamental poll
ces of good government in spite of momentary emergencies
and the willingness to keep promises accepted in good faith by
the electorate.
another theory concerning the fall of congress from public
esteem. He says it is "a drastic need for modernization. The
legislative body, he declares, should adopt up-to-date methods
of informing and organizing itself to regain its rightful prestige
and thus arrest the flow of power to the executive branch.
He points out that all modern institutions from the White
House to private lobbying groups keep themselves informed
through experienced experts. But, with few exceptions, congress
has no such experts, despite the fact that many of its functions
demand precise information not available to the layman.
This lack of specialized knowledge puts congress at a serious
disadvantage in opposing executive proposals with plans of its
own. The result is that the l~awmaking function of congress be-
comes increasingly absorbed by the White House, whose expert
advisers draft much of our present legislation. And congress is
at a loss to suggest any constructive alternatives.
We agree that we must have a strong congress to maintain a
free country. As good citizens, we should insist on its continued
existence. But congress must modernize itself, Mr.. Hard de-
clares. First step would be to coordinate and centralize its COM
mittees. For example, it now has eight various committees and
subcommittee to keep itself in touch with the army and navy.
One joint committee would do as well. Donald Nelson has been
questioned by % different committees at a time when every
moment of his time is precious in ~furthering war production.
Two reforms are necessary, he says, "a scientific organization
of the committees and a scientific use by these committees of
up-to-date expert creative knowledge" 1t is about time for
congress to investigate itself; certainly it has investigated almost
everything else in this country.

A Week Of h War

Il Land, in a progress report to Pres
ident Roosevelt, said that from
Sept. 81, 1941, through this month
deliveries of completed ships will
total 488, aggregating about 5,450,00C
lightweight tons.
September deliveries to date and
those scheduled to Oct. l total 90
ships of approximately l,000,0 0O
lightweight tons, ar average of three
ships a day. Schedule D deliveries
for the remaining three months of
1912 should bring us to the 8,000,-
0O0-ton goal of your directive" Ad-
miral Land told the president. He
also said the 1943 directive of six
teen million deadweight tons "ap-
pears reasonably certain of accom-
plishment."
War Production Chairman Nelson
said Right now approximately 40
percent of our entire production is
going for war. BY the middle of
next year that proportion has got to
be around go percent" WPB Vice
Chairman Knowlson said at present
war production is three and one
half times that of 10 months ago.
We're beginning to recognize the
truth of the situation, to know we've
been behind the eight-ball," he said.
Transportation
WPB Chairman Nelson directed
the office of defense transportation
to set up a priorities system gov
erning movements and use of all
tank cars, with priorities to be given,
first, to shipments of materials for
the army, navy, maritime commits
sion and the lend-lease administra-
ton; second, to 800 specifically list
ed chemicals, foods and other essen
tial products, and third, to petrole.

and bus lines ove the week end is
still growing. Weekly passenger ira
vel must be shifted from the week |
end to the middle of the week by at

said.

Agriculture Secretary Wickard said
that unless the nation acts prompt

alleviate the farm labor shortage.
Included were proposals to retain on
farms as many as possible of the

use greater numbers of women and

THE RUSSIAN VIEW

Junior Lieut.. Liudmila Pavlichenko of the Russian army is
a heroine who has had to face the bloody facts of war at ts
hand, as has many another Russian woman. AS a girl snipel
she is credited with killing 300 Germans.
Lieutenant Pavlichenko has been in the eastern United States
recently but she has seen and heard many things that astounded
her. Among them were the questions asked her at a press con-
ference. Well might she be astounded, in the face of the throes
and agonies through which her homeland is going.
To one interviewer she said:
II am amazed at the kind of questions put to me by the
women press correspondents in Washington. Don't they
know there is a war? They asked me silly questions such
as do 1 use powder and rouge and nail polish and do I curl
my hair? One reporter criticized the length of the skirt
of my uniform, saying that in America women wear shorter
skirts and besides my uniform made me look fat.
"This made me angry. 1 wear my uniform with honor.
1t has the Order of Lenin on it. 1t has been covered with
blood in battle. 1t is plain to see that with American
women what is important is whether they wear silk I'M
derwear under their uniforms. What the uniform stands
for, they have yet to learn"
We hope this Russian visitor will not think that all American
women are as fighty and as callous to the war as her ques-
TONERS led her to believe. Millions of them are serving on the
home front and in the army and the navy. But, man or woman,
any effort we make at home seems small indeed when we read
the stories that come to us from one of the worlds greatest
battles, the siege of Stalingrad.

MORE RIGORS OF WAR

Amidst all the dire warnings being showered upon the head
of the wartime family man, consumer and taxpayer, a comfort
ing if false note emanated from the bureaucratic halls of Wash
ington a few days ago. 1t was to the cheerful effect that we
need not fear a shortage of long underwear this winter.
However, a local and we might say, very personal check of
some of our mercantile establishments leads us to believe, as
is quite frequently the case, that the Washington publicity men
are a bit optimistic. AS a matter of fact, one merchant informed
us that longies with a very large percentage of wool are just
out of the picture for this winters wear, which raises quite a
problem for the well-dressed Montanan.
Perhaps "wel-dressed" is an overstatement. We have never
been struck with the esthetic value of long underwear. 1t is not
a thing of beauty, either on the clothesine or on the average
masculine framework. Perhaps Clark Gable or Robert Taylor
can wear a set of wooies attracfvely. That is something we'll
probably never know. But there is nothing more comforting
next to the skin when wintry winds blow and the thermometer
drops well below zero. Long underwear is, then, a thing strictly
of utility and, boy, they or it can certainly be utilized in a
blizzard.

Indeed, it is readily apparent
that if any of the plans suggested
