RICHMOND, VA.-Richmond
firemen have thought of a use
for some old city-owned Italian
flags, which have been stored
here since they were hung with
American, British, Belgium and
French banners on Richmond
lamp posts to celebrate the re-
turn home of the doughboys OF
World War One.
Because the price of cleaning
rags has advanced, the firemen
plan to use the Italian tri-color
for shining fire engines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-Repre- sentative Angel, Republican, of Oregon, told the house he was con v;nced the Japanese had as a ma jor activity in their war program an eventual eall-out attack" on the Pacific Coast.
 The Representative recalled a re- cent bombing of an oregon forest, believed, he said, to have been done by a small Japanese plane Tn "a design to ignite fires in valuable forests" He also said shots were fired into oregon sand dunes by submarine believed to be Japa- nese and that submarine had made an attack on the coast oi Southern California.
 The Oregonian said that If the Japanese were not driven out of the Aleutian Islands, they undoubt- edly would try to extend their hold to continental United States.
 While it is true that the military authorities must determine the course to be followed and W a action we must take in this great emergency" Angel said, we can not, however, close our eyes to the fact the Japanese are here on our continent and are digging in and ora making attacks uDOn COntl- mental United States, and that we should without delay blast them completely out of this territory"
 Angell said the people of Oregon were greatly concerned over the attacks and "are grim in their de- termination to do everything in their power in cooperation with the federal government to prevent any attempted invasion of the coastal area"

 The Japanese Military Headquar- ters has attempted to blow up a bubble gum scare by the announce ment that Japanese naval forces are now operating on the Atlantic in "close cooperation with the Axis navies."
 While Tokyo specifically men, tions only one Japanese submar- inc as having arrived in the At lantic waters, the German High Comman dseized on the announce ment and declared Japanese war ships" have made contact with the Axis forces in the Atlantic and all German newspapers are today ban- ner-lining the story.
 In London, British naval observ- CTS said any suggestion that Japa- nese surface raiders or heavy naval units might follow the reputed lone sub is foolish" These quarters said the Japanese Navy already has its hands full on the Pacific and the North and South Atlantic is toe well guarded by the Allied Navies and it would be most difficult for a Jap surface flotilla to enter un- detected.
 British informants said however it would not have been difficult for the Japanese to send sub to the Atlantic, perhaps by using the Vichy- French Madagascar as a re- fueling base.

The W ashlngton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMa3or Robert $. Allen on active duty0

(The plastic ring, in substi- tuition for the brass ring, but still good for a free ride on The Washington Merry Go Round, this week goes to Colonel Herbert c. Holdridge, whose job it is to fit several million square pegs among the draftees, into square holes.)
 WASHINGTON.-When you have an army of 8,000,000 men, as this country will in the not too dis tant future, one of the biggest jobs is to avoid trying to fit square pegs into round holes..
 That army represents manpower from every conceivable walk ot life-the sidewalks of New York, the swank beaches of Miami, the lumber camps of the Northwest, the greatest organization of men ever engaged in any enterprise in his tory. And the problem is to get those men placed in the right place, where they will be most efficient.
 Only ten per cent of this army will fight. The other ninety per cent will support the fighting men behind the lines. And the big job is to make sure they are not just potato peelers, paper shufflers or coffee coolers, but are put at the job they can do best.
 For long time, not many of the brass hats cared very much about this so-called administrative effi- ciency. They dubbed it paper work" Modern business. however calls it personnel management and hires high-salared experts to do the job. But the army, hither- to, has been too busy with bayonet drill and rifle practice.
 Now, however, a new system IS being worked out to increase ad- ministrative efficiency, and cut down the so-called paper work. : Under this new procedure the morning report" of the company commander will be curtailed from
