. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

committees on Education and
Labor. Military Affairs, Small
Business and the Truman Com
mittee investigating the defense
program, to sponsor one piece of
legislation which is intended to
tighten up the loose nuts on the
Washington war production ma
chinery by establishing a new
top, superduper Office of War
Mobilization, with a S20,000-a-
year director in large who
would be supreme boss of war
production.
For five congressional COM
mittees to get together on any,
thing is almost unprecedented in
congressional history. Most of
the credit for putting this over
should probably 60 to mild-man-
nered little John H. Tolan, 65-
year-old Minnesota-born lawyer
who has lived in Oakland, Calf,
since 1914 and has just been re-
elected to serve his fifth term in
Congress.
The bill to establish the Of
flee of War Mobilization was
prepared under the direction of
the Tolan Committee and it rep
resents their ideas. When the
draft was made, Tolan took it to
Senators Harley M. Kilgore of
Beckley, w. Va, and Claude
Pepper of Tallahassee, Fla. Kill
gore is on Military Affairs and
Truman committees, while Pep
per is chairman of manpower
sub committee of Education and
Labor. These two senators went
over the Tolan draft, made a
few suggestions, and then agreed
to sponsor the measure in the
Senate. Tolan then turned over
to Peppers sub committee his
entire staff of investigators UNI
der DR.. Robert X Lamb, smart
and also mild-mannered young
economist whose last previous
assignment had been as a pro-
fessor at the liberal Bennington
College for Women, in Vermont.
SEEK OUTSIDE VIEWS
1t is Lamb who will serve as
counsel for the combined COM
mittee hearings on the bill.
Twenty of the biggest war con-
tractors have been invited to
send representatives to Wash
ington to testify, and the con-
gressmcn have indicated they
are more interested in hearing
what these people outside the
government have to say about
Washington's war production
machinery than they are in hear
ing any defenses of the existing
fifth wheel mechanismS from
men now in Washington.
If the bill should 60 through
in its present form, it would
make drastic reorganizations and
contradictions of authority in
the existing setup. 1t would
eliminate dollar-a-year men en-
tirely. 1t would combine man.
power and selective service. 1t
would put Army and Navy con-
tract letting under one head.
If you want to make some
thing out of all this, you might
say it was congressional med
ding in what have heretofore
been regarded as executive func-
tons. Another way of putting
it is that Congress, fed up with
executive bungling, has at last
decided to take matters into its
own hands and regain some of
its last prestige. New Deal Sen
ator Pepper even goes so far as
to admit that the election had
some effect on making Congress
pool and streamline its own eff
forts and itself to what it is in
sisting the executive depart
ments do - reorganize and get
going. Anyway, count this up as
benefit No. ! from the election
protest.

Bette to the dismantling crew.
That's practically my career

Davis Insists He
Told Whole Truth

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. CUP)-
War Information Director Elmer
Davis said today his statement last
Wednesday that all sinkings of ma
jor American warships up to that
time had been disclosed is not in
conflict with the Navy'S weekend
announcement of the loss of U. S.
aircraft carrier.
The Navy's communiquc Saturday
night said the unidentified carrier
was attacked in the Solomons area
on Oct. 26 and sank later" Davis
said he knew on Oct %, when he
made his New York statement, that
the carrier was in bad shape but
the Navy still thought they could
tow her in"
I'm confident the Navy didn't
know about it (the sinking) when 1
spoke on the 28th,' Davis said.
Communications are pretty slow
from there"

Toll for all of 1941 95

Two traffic fatalities, including the
first in Arlington County in 377 days,
were recorded yesterday and early
today in nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
Brooks Barton, 55-year -old laun-
dryman, of 1541 Nineteenth street,
Arlington, died yesterday in George
town Hospital from injuries received
when he was struck by car Sunday
on Lee highway in Arlington.
The last last traffic death in the
county occurred March 1, 1941. A
death-free year was observed at
1908 pm. on the same date this
year. The record was exceeded by
only six other communities in the
0,OO0-1O0000 population class. ac-
cording to figures of the National
Safety Council.
Fatalities on Federal property in
Arlington are not included in county
traffic records, since the county
police do not patrol it.
The Maryland traffic death was
reported early today when a car
overturned on Addison Chapel road,
near Kenilworth.
John H. Mclean, 26, 1408 Forty
fourth street NE, an employe of
the General Accounting Office, said
by Prince Georges County police to
have been the driver of the car, was
pronounced dead by Coroner James
I. Bold. A passenger in the car
Ambrose j. Armstrong, 1916 Kenil-
worth avenue NE, was reported un-
injured.

Silver Spring 10 Designate
Raid Shelter for Children

Within a few weeks. a house in
every block in the Silver Spring area
will bear a sign, marked with the
letters D and w. designating it as a
shelter for children away from
homes during air raids and to indi-
cate that the residence is clearing
house for defense questions.
The idea of placing the signs was
evolved by the Silver Spring branch
of the Womens Division of Civilian
Defense, hence the letter D for de-
fense and the letter w, which will
be smaller, for women.
Children in the area will be in
formed through their schools that
homes bearing this sign can be used
as shelter in daytime air raids. The
plan is mainly to protect children
who might be in the streets after
school hours
Women will be able to get in
formation on conservation, one Of
the divisions main projects, at these
homes, and other information about
defense activities.
Mrs. Ronald L. Mcdonald and
Mrs. Herbert F. Hathaway have been
appointed by Mrs. G. w. Mitchell,
Silver Spring chairmen, to take
charge of the project, which has the
approval of Chief Deputy Air-Raid
Warden Arch Mcdonald and Albert
E. Brault, executive director of the
Montgomery County Civilian De-
fense Council.
The signs are being designed and
made by class of high school pupils
under direction of William C. Fedde-
man, supervisor of vocational work
in county schools.

Cama|ier 10 Begin Study
Of BIackout LEGISLATION

r. F. Camalier, committee counsel,
to begin study of legal problems
that may grow out of air raids and
trial blackouts.
After the United States entered
The war Senator McCarran suggested
legislation might be needed to deter
mine the legal responsibilities of air
raid wardens and other auxiliary de-
fense workers and the rights of
civilians when damage occurs.
A committee of the District Bar
Association has studied the problem
and made a report, embodying the
experience of Great Britain. Mr..
Camalier will study this report, and
confer with Corporation Counsel
Keech to determine what legislation
should be drafted for Washington.

This Is War, Politics
Is 0ut,' Roosevelt
Tells Reporters
Soys Remark Applies
To Congress as Well
As to the Press

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt told press
conference today that this is war
and politics is out.
He said his remarks applied to
Congress as well as the press. We
read too much politics in the papers
these days and these articles talk
in terms of the past, he commented. l.
Mr.. Roosevelt made that remark
when asked whether he thought
there could be . greater concentra-
ton on the war effort by political
groups, newspapers and others.
To a question as to whether his
remarks were "also true Of the
Cabinet" the Chief Executive re-
sponded that he found little political
implications in any action taken
by Cabinet members. He said that
whenever ne sees any such impl1-
cation, and this is i'm pretty rare
cases, he steps on it with both feet
He was informed that Postmaster
General Frank Walker had been
consulting with some Pennsylvan-
ians on Pennsylvania political mat
ters. That, Mr.. Roosevelt said, Is
a PENNSYLVANIA matter. and he drew
from his questioner statement that
Mr.. Walkers home is at Scranton,
Pa.
He drew the inference plainly that
he\ ,nsidered it proper for a Cab
met >ember to interest himself In
a polit. al matter of his own state.
