 ''We haven't discrinninated against any state," retOrted Hem dersOn. we are trying to act in the interest of the country as a whole"
 ''YOu and your outfit are using dictator methods" flared J0hn- son. You're always trying to act independently. Congress can't be independent. It has to answer to the people. We're the servant of the people and you're dictatorial policies when the budget estimate to increase your personnel comes before us."
 Hardly had this hot exchange been stricken from the record when another broke cut with an- other Johnson doing the swing ing.
 This time it was Rep. Jed John son of Oklahoma who jumped Henderson for running small in- dependent oil producers in my state out of business" He point out that several hundred "stripper oil wells in Oklahoma already have shut down and many others soon will have to follow because of inability to meet high produc- tion costs under the crude oil price ceilings fixed by Henderson's OPA.
 "We need all the oil we can get for the war;" declared Johnson, 'and yet these wells are being forced to shut down. Do you know what stripper well is?"
 "NO, | don't" said Henderson: ''I don't profess to know every thing. But have oil experts who will supply you with that AmIOFmagSOHs
 Finally cooling down a bit. John- son got promise from Tender son that Oklahoma'S small oil well owners would be given an opportunity to present their com- plaints.

 Here is the most unique job of selling War Bonds and Stamps that we have run across to date.
 The Wolf and Dessauer Depart ment store of Ft. Wayne. Ind, re- gently celebrated it's 46th anni- versary. And instead of stag ing the traditional anniversary sale, Its entire celebration was de- voted to the sale of Bonds and stamps.
 Every line of newspaper adver- tising, usually devoted to dry- goods, was an appeal to buy Bonds. Every salesman and salesWoman concentrated on the drive. Each floor of the store vIed to sell the most. Departmental buyers and employees planned all the ad- vertising and all the direct-mail selling.
 Tn the end, G. Irving Latz. 8 Hoosier Marshall Field, together with his employees. managed to sell $300,000 in Stamps and Bonds during that one week.
 BATHTUBs Vs. GOODWILL
 It hasn't leaked out yet. but the U. s. government has just held up six bathtuhs. ordered by the King of Egypt, in manner which doesn't look so good for future friendly relations around suez.
 Ordinarily the question of six bathtubs would be laughing mat- ter. However, 1t happens that one of the most important couTl- tries in the world to the Allied effort is Egypt IF ruled by King Farouk. who Is an important sper- Itual leader of b0O.000 900 Moslems in the vital areas Of the Near East and India.
