Industrial, commercial and do

noted that railroad tank car ship
ments to the East were far below
the hoped-for ,0O0-barrel daily

He said only n ,000, 900 barrels Of
industrial fuel oils and 4,203 ,750
barrels Of home heating oils were
being saved annually in the East
by conversions to date to other fuels,
while surveys showed conversions
could save 57,969,000 barrels OF
industrial fuel oils and 35,625, 600
barrels of home-heating oils.
Meanwhile, the Offlce Of Price

burners to hand fired coal which it
said would mean an average in

What is meant by mot author

hearted way of conceding that the

going beyond the regulations but it
doesn't clear up the question OF
whether the commissioners judg-
ment on the finding of facts" is to

In tax matters, a finding OF

an appeal or denial of appeal.

this in the coming session, for If

among the French officers and
even native African troops. After
only a token resistance they
rushed with extended hands
toward the friendly invading
American troops.
American officers who have
just returned from the zone Of
operations are full of praise for
the remarkable spirit of COM
radeship of the French and ex-
press amazement at the disci-
pline and valor of our new Allies.
OF course, there had been a
deal with some of the French
commanders before our troops
went ashore. But that deal,
which had been kept secret from
the rank and file, would have
worked with difficulty only had
it not met with the full approval
of the local commanders and
troops.
The navy men alone were ad-
amant since no deal had been
made with the admiral in COM
mand at CaSablanca whose sense
of duty prevented him from re-
ceiving our agents. Thus the fleet
fought although the air arm in
most cases contented itself with
circling around our ships and re-
turning to base without attempt
ing to harm us.
French Good Marksmen.
American naval men are de-
lighted at the idea that at least
number of the remaining
French ships will soon be fight
ing on our side. The perform
ance of the French Navy at
Casablanca had been surprising
ly efficient. The tactical han.
ding of the ships was brilliant
and the accuracy of their fire
remarkable.
Although for more than two
years these men of war had had
little or no opportunity to fire
at any targets their gunnery was
exceedingly accurate. Had we
not had an overwhelming SUI
periority there is no question
that the handful of cruisers and
destroyers supported by the
battleship Jean Bart-which was
firing from the harbor since it
could not put out to sea because
of engine trouble-would have
given us serious difficulty. s.

The reference is to his engaging
personality, which, coupled with a
genuine liking for people, gave him
| wider acquaintance and more
friends than any other member of
Congress who can now be recalled,
with the exception Of the late Mich
olas Longworth, who was in a class
by himself.
But practically everybody who
knows Jimmie" Byrnes likes him.
Almost as good a story-teller as the
late Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
shrewd, able, companionable, one of
the reasons for his extraordinary
effectiveness as Senator was his
willingness to interest himself in
the causes OF his friends and his
eagerness as well as his ability to
help.
1t Is easy to understand how
such a man would endear himself to
his colleagues and why when the
President drafted him for a posi-
ton of such tremendous power and
responsibility their qualification was
great and their commentator
warm and sincere.
Spoke Their Language.
Most Of them at once felt that
here in high administrative position
was man who not only spoke their
language and understood their
situation" but, in addition, was a
personal friend, always ready to do
favor and generally able to. Here,
at last, was a man to whom they
could take their troubles and tell
their grievances; who could and
would do something about them
No wonder they rejoiced. Many
members of Congress dislike and
distrust the more important heads
OF the new governmental agencies

Dealers Of the Henderson type
There has been an accumulation OF

dation-that things are being run
here by men swollen with authority
and without understanding.
But, Jimmie" is something else.
Jimmie is very different" Jim
mie" is their friend, guy you can
really go and talk to-" And that at
the moment is "Jimmie's' great
trouble. His congressional COL
leagues have descended upon him
very heavily, indeed. They flock to
his offices; they grab him for lunch
and dinner; they keep his telephone
jangling. Hello, Jimmie, this is
Bill. I've got to see you right away,
something important. I'll be right
down" So, it goes all day long. The
pressure never relaxes and the de-
mands on his time daily increase.
For Mr.. Byrnes it is worse than
embarrasSing-it is devastating. He
cannot shunt these House and Sem
ate friends off on secretaries. They
won't stand for that; they know
him too well; insist on seeing and
talking to him personally. He cam
not refuse to see and talk to his
close personal friends, whom he
numbers by the score. He cannot be
expected to turn these friends into
enemies, as he certainly would If
they found they could not get to
him when they want.
Would Bring Bad Reaction.
If he tried to erect a protective
shield about himself, it would be SO
out Of character that the reaction
would be quick and strong. It
would mean that all those close
friends would be saying: well,
Jimmie has swelled like the rest of
them" and, well, who would have
thought Jimmie would go back on
his friends?"
No one can blame Mr.. Byrnes
from shrinking from that sort of
thing. And besides, he wants to see
them. Nevertheless, he certainly is
in spot. The man actually has no
time to think. With a job conced-
edly of vital Importance to the Ma
ton and with power second only to
that of the President, it is essential
for him to have sufficient leisure to
plan and to direct. II he is to
succeed, he has got to have oppor-
tunity for thought, for conference
and for administrative work on the
broad lines of policy. He cannot
possibly do these things adequately
if he is overwhelmed with personal
interviews on trivial affairs.
1t is, of course, essential for him,
as a public official. to keep on good
terms with Congress. and it is essen
tial to him as man to keep his
friends. But his friends ought to
grasp his situation and show some
consideration Let up on him. Give
him time to think. Don't go to him
on uninportant matters and don't
take up too much time on important
ones. No man in Washington has
as many friends as he. No man
values his friends more highly But
his friends could ruin him. They do
not want to do that, do they?

it, maintenance Of income is
adopted, and fourth, that de-

There is nothing Of the agi-

This report will be discussed

If it is adopted, Britain will
