Where Disasters Start

But in Washington, where
maladmlnistration can affect the
outcome of the war a. much as
anything soldiers and sailors
may do, men can remain un-
aware OF causing disasters.
ut Is difficult To take bu-
reau chief, ora lawyer, or
stenographer aside and say,
Look. \ hundred men are
wounded because of your delay!
4 ship has been sunk because Of
your Encouragement

changes In personnel, for any
endeaVor a. large a. our war
effort is bound 10 have a sprink-
ling of dunderheads and even

Esprit de Corps Needed
1.-THE will of the President and
men OF cabinet rank cannot
alone prevent the recurrence of
such instances of mismanage-
ment. In final analysis the abil-
ity of our government to meet
its present task will depend on
the esprit de corps of the operat-
ing personnel--frOm subcabinet

government MUST BE LIFTED

with the type of representative
whom you send to Congress, and
with the type of state leadership
that will direct the affairs OF
your great state In this crucial
period" Murray said.
One of the principal acts Of the
convention was to protest the de-
portation proceedings against Harry
Bridges, longshoremen union head
and CLIO director in the state. The
resolution urged FDR to intervene
in the case and praised Bridges

1.-THE hour has come to right
the wrongs against Bridges" the
report said. "This Is the time
for the President to step into
the case and throw it out Of the
courts, because &c should never

My dear friends this is a new
column which will be written II
hope each week. This will lot
be exactly a gossip column. In
this column we are going to try
and discuss the problems that face
the parents in raising teen-age
boys and girls. We will bring
to you the problems that face the
young men and women in heir
romantic affairs. For instance
we will choose a subject then we
will ask parents what they think
about that subject. Then we will
print what you think about it. in
this way we hope to bring about a
friendlier relationship between the
parents and the teen age boys and
girls. We hope to bring about a
more understanding relationship
between a boy and a girl. This
column will also have fashion not
es about what people are wearing
and a very little gossip. We are
not going to drag people, or call
them drags. because we r net
on who is a drag and
who isn't. We want to write,
things that are friendly not mean,
because in writing columns it is
easy to make enemies that isn't
what I want to do. i will endeav-
or to make friends. Next week I
will write what your parents think
about necking. What you think
about necking. So please take a
minute or two to read this column.
