The balmy day Sunday was
too much for Larkin Younce and
myself. We put the flyrods in
the car and visited some favor
ite holes along several creeks in
Licking county. Evidence was
forthcoming that the bass are
starting to move as testified to
a couple Of feeble strikes-but
no luck yet-too early. But just
wait until another warm Sunday
comes along. Well get 'em

Mayor Lockwood and Service
Director Anderson returned from

transpired during their conver-

food in the capitol city. Every

equipped with an incendiary

| liked the way Solicitor Holts
berry told station operators the
other night that while most poll
ticians are expected to go along
with the majority he had only
one course to follow and that
was to warn council that he
doubted if the state statute woult
permit city legislation to regu-
late closing hours for oil sta

self, Senator"
| do believe it is possible for
city council to pass some sort of
legislation satisfactory to the
majority in regard to a curfew
law. | am still in agreemnt with
the fact that a lot of children
have a hard time keeping up with
their parents insofar as staying
out late goes. But no doubt most
of the parents have learned to
take care of themselves.

Clerk of Courts
Attempts to Speed
Birth Certificates

Below is printed a communi-
cation to the county commission
ers, from Edwin j. Haynes, Lick
ing county clerk of courts, which
is self explanatory. Mr.. Haynes
stated this week that many COM
plants have come to his notice
regarding the long waits in re-
ceiving birth certificates. The
claim has been from authorities
in charge that funds are not
available to hire the extra help
to speed the issuance of the cer-
tificates. The letter follows:
The Board of
County Commissioners,
Licking County,
Newark, Ohio.
Gentlemen:
1t has come to my attention
that there is not enough money
available in our treasury, to
take care of the numerous re-
! quests for birth certificates in
this County. Realizing that
defense jobs require such GER
tificates and that workers are
entitled to the quickest poss-
ible service, not only for their
jobs, but in the interest of
production, | hereby authorize
you to transfer from my ap-
preparation for salaries for
this year, the sum of $4,000
to be used solely for the pur-
pose of issuing Birth Certifi-
Gates, in speedy and efficient
manner. This work seems to
me, the most important of the

Two Working Shifts
In Federal Agencies
Urged 10 Ease Jam
Plan Advanced Before
Businessmen; Spoee
Woste 'DepIoroble'

Two daily work shifts In Federal
agencies were advocated by the Fed
Grafton on Businessmens Associa-
tions last night to conserve ONCE
space and fully utilize available man
power
Victor Perlmutter, publisher Of
the District Leader, contended 1t
was a deplorable waste Of working
facilities to use them only 40 hours
of q 168-hour week In the present
crisis.
Louis I. Obergh advocated relax
alton of restrictions on private
building in the District to alleviate
the housing shortage.
The urgency Of housing and traf-
fic problems arising from the pres
ent influx of defense workers pre-
viously had been stressed by Renah
F. Camalier, special adviser to the
Senate District Committee, who
warned that Washington residents
and merchants would be judged in
future years by their response to
these problems.
Urges About Effort.
Assuring the group that local con-
sumers had received universally
fair" treatment in the past, Mr..
Camaler urged local businessmen
now, more than ever, to ''go all-out
for defense, not for proflteering."
He said the city urgently needed
additional hospital, recreation and
parking facilities, wider streets, more
bridges and underpasses, and rec
commended consideration Of a sub
way system.
Ernest w. Brown, former District
superintendent of police, outlined
the history of the Police Boys Clubs
and appealed for contributions to
the current drive on the basis OF
aiding good citizenship. not OF
charity. Ralph Goldsmith. cam
paign manager for the drive. also
spoke. The federation later re-
solved to cooperate with the drive.
Pickup Service Endorsed.
The federation approved a reso-
luton by Mr.. Obergh indorsing taxi
pickup service in the District, and
recommending its extension to addi-
tional taxi companies. Francis c.
Heigle discussed the successful op-
Grafton of a similar plan in Jack
sonville, Fla.
The group also advocated that
funds now authorized by law be ap-
propriated for a peoples counsel to

rates run from $50 to 81 an hour,
with IS cents for laborers. Mr..
Sharpe contended the best way to
find the prevailing wage would be
through social security reports. He
pointed out that all builders report
information quarterly showing the

of hours worked

! hearing that if the high union scale

Asked to Refigure' Job.
At the time of the hearing the U. S.
H. A. had contract form signed only
by the Merando Co., Washington
contracting firm, for erection of a
16-unit experimental housing pro-
ject on North Patrick street, Alex
andria. Under its terms, the units
were to be built for $42,700. exclu-
sive Of plumbing and heating, which
was to cost $10,600 more in a bid
from another firm, making a total
of $50 300 After the hearing, the
Merando Co. was notified by U. S.
H. A. that the Labor Department
had raised the prevailing" wage,
and was asked to refigure the job.
The contractor replied it would cost
$500 more at the higher rate.
Finally, on October 4, nearly two
months after negotiations had been
started, the Merando Co. was noti-
fed its contract would not be ac-
cepted and it had been found ad-
visable to redesign the project, in
cooperating certain necessary econo-
! mics" According to u. s. H. A.,
economies were made in design and
one dwelling unit eliminated. 1t was
reopened for bids, and awarded to
another firm for $57,650. The Me-
rando Co. did not bid again, the
owner stating he had lost interest
during the delay. The job now is
Just beyond the foundation stage.
The Alexandria Housing Authority
built 240 dwelling units under the
old rate for about $1,000 a unit. The
construction in that job is con-
sidered substantially better" than
in its two defense housing projects
recently. The authority is just
completing a 200-unit defense job
at cost of $500 per dwelling, the
workers receiving the original, or
lower. prevailing wage. The au-
thority is now building 120-unit
defense project under the higher
scale, calling for virtually the same
specifications, which will cost $4,000
per unit, and contract for land
scaping is yet to be let.

which flew over Soerabaja, Java,
and destroyed five bombers and one
fighter. One American plane was
shot down, but the pilot was saved.
This was the first report Of con-
siderable American fighter force-of
squadron strengthening in action
over Java. 1t was accompanied by
a Navy statement that an American
submarine had sunk 5,000-ton
cargo ship in the East China Sea.
But the enemy likewise had news
of submarine forays in the Carib-
bean. New U-boat attacks damaged
two ships OF Trinidad. However.
U-boats failed to set IRE to the
huge oil refineries on Aruba In
another raid and the submarine
attacking that Dutch oil port may
have been sunk by United States

despite an assertion by Secretary
of War Stimson that dispersal OF

might retard offensives elsewhere.
Secretary Stimson has warned
that attacks might be extended to
American shores, but that In the
grand strategy of the war The most
important step is to prepare an Of

Senator johnson said he could see

that is necessary. although he was

that comparable" work Of private
builders, such as r. H. A. apart
ments, must be considered. In sew
eral instances the unon men con-
tended such jobs were not pertinent.

that the Madeira School, girls insti-

vailing in the section. was a target
all through the hearing. At one
point, when his investigation was
being attacked especially hard, he
said:

mended these lower rates and I am
being crucified here today"
"Too Much Ammunition"
1--WE have too much ammunition
for you today" replied c. F. Preller,
Washington, representing the elec-
trical workers union.
On one occasion in the proceed
ings when a union representative
sharply criticized the prevailing
wage scale, Mr.. Grodsky said: THAT
Is the only reason the matter was
reopened, in that We felt my in
vestigation was not sufficiently
complete, or possibly too complete. /"
In his investigation Mr.. Grodsky
said he found that glaciers were the
only craft generally paid the high
union scale for residential work.
Only passing mention was made
of the many large, privately built
housing projects in the Virginia Sec
ton. Mr.. Sharpe mentioned Buck

or two others. There was no list
of private projects appended to the
