For one thing, we can all woli-

We can build up our health and ou

Civilian Defense Middle.

No more timely piece has been
written in a long time than that by
Mr.. Walter Lippmann in which he
urged prompt reorganization Of the
Office Of Civilian Defense, now being
run in an extraordinarily confused
and utterly Intellectual way by Mayor
LaGuardia and Mrs. Franklin D,
Roosevelt.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

well-meant activities have interfered.
Before the Pearl Harbor attack there
was Indignation among the women
affected. There is more now. 1t is said
that she is disposed to regard the
OCD as a sort Of personal possession.
1t is said that apparently she would
like to coordinate all women activi-
ties under her, 1t is said that she has
no clear idea of what it is all about
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

The truth is that this question Of
home defense has suddenly become
far too vital to tolerate much longer
its handling by individuals who, even
if they were qualified by experience
and capacity for the job, are unable
to give it their full time and atten-
ton. 1t was a mistake for the Presi-
dent to appoint Mayor LaGuardia as
director in the first place. And it was
9 mistake; though probably one he
could not help, for Mr.. LaGuardia to
appoint Mrs Roosevelt as assistant
director.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

Neither Of them is the kind Of per
son who ought to head this activity,
even if they had nothing else to do,
Nh LaGuardia, however, has other
duties which simply preclude the pos
sibility of efficiently running the
OCD. Being Mayor of New York
alone is enough to tax the powers Of
endurance and occupy all the thought
and time of any man But, in addi-
ton, Mr., LaGuardia is member Of
the Canadian-American Defens e
Board, which involves numerous meet
ings, considerable travel and is any
thing but unimportant.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

Unless some such plan as this is
adopted, we are not going to have an
effective civilian defense. Certainly
we are not going to approach effec-
tiveness under the present setup.
And with the war, civilian defense
has become so important to the coun-
try as a whole that it is absurd it
should continue in the hands of half
time amateurs. 1t is d business for
the War Department., not for the
busy Mayor of New York or the we'll
meaning wife of the President. The
President knows all this and is anX-
ious to effect a reorganization. He
has said as much very recently
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

This may do Mrs. Roosevelt an in
justice. Her motives are always Of
the best. Nevertheless, these alloga-
tions are being widely made IN any
event, Mr.. Lippmann's suggestion
does seem in the national interests.
1t is that both Mr.. LaGuardia aud
Mrs Roosevelt resign and that the
President reorganize the OCD 50 as
to put it under the jurisdiction Of the
War Department, to be operated ny
an Assistant Secretary Of War for
Home Defense. 1t should be subordi-
mated to but not coordinated with the
army-and it should be taken wholly
out Of the hands Of unframed civil
ians.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

The Mayor is able and honest, but
that does not mean that he is capable
of taking on this OCD job and doing
it we'll The fact is that he isn't doing
it well at all The fact is that it is in
a very badly demoralized state. The
confusion was great before we got
into the war. 1t is much greater now
so great, in fact, that it borders on
the outrageous. The best evidence Of
this is that the President himself is
nerturbed over the situation. So are a
good many others. Unwittingly, of
course, Mrs. Roosevelt has contributed
no little to the confusion. In the first
place, her activities are spread all
over the place. She does daily syn
Dictated newspaper article; she makes
a weekly radio broadcast sponsored
by the South American coffee grow
ers; she writes monthly magazine
article. In addition, she is actively
supporting her friend, Mr.. Joseph
Lash. in his student organization. She
does other things. but these are rou-
tine.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

That, with all these enterprises on
her hands, Mrs. Roosevelt should
think herself capable of managing the
vast and complicated business of
civilian defense gives an idea of her
belief in herself. 1t is a fact that
neither she nor Mayor LaGuardia has
effected a competent and coordinated
organization anywhere. They both
have great gifts for publicity, and
there is hardly a day in which, in her
sugary way, Mrs. Roosevelt does not
pour out some more or less we'll
hosen words about the great prog
ress" being made and the "inspiring
conference being held, But the
progress is not visible to the naked
eye and the bewilderment is So, also,
is the resentment. There is a great
deal of this in the Red Cross organ

HOW TO IMPROVE POSTURE
 Please give me some information on how Co correct poor posture. I AEn sixteen years old. (John E,.),
 It is routine to get such requests from girls in their early teens, rather unusual to hear from boys of that age who are eager to build or preserve physical efficiency. Come to think of it, though, the girls are more interested in conn plexlon and beauty than in tho fundamental faetors of health and vite. Wonder how 1t was In tho long, long ago when young ladies eulti- vated pailor, anemia faintness and frAility as tho correct thlng-but then there were no Personal Health Service doctors people could ask for information in those dNys-only quacks and nostrum mongers telling the gullible public that nearly oil human ailments and Illustrations were due to torpid liver, impure blood, uric acide or autointoxica- ton.
 Well, John, first thing I'd sug- gest Is that you learn how to breathe nNturally-not by "expand- Ing" your chest, but rather by for- getting your chest and using your belly. To help you do this I am mailing you the pamphlet "Belly Breathing" Get in the habit of do- ing the belly breathing exercise reg ularly before you get out of bed mornings and Just before you go to sleep nights.
 You do not Say Just wherein your posture is poor, John, But I'll give some general suggestions for improving posture, and it can do no harm for you or any one else to follow these suggestions in train- ing for good posture,
 Always toe straight ahead or even toe in a little, never toe out, in standing, walking or sitting.
 Avoid crossing the knees when sltting-for ease cross only the legs or ankles and let the feet rest with outer edges on floor or ground,
 Always sit, stand and walk as though you were carrying balanced on top of your head . heavy tray or basket of fruit.
 Az already suggested, never mind your chest, but keep your chin in. Keep your chin tucked Inside of an imaginary high stiff collar,
 One simple test Of good posture stand with back Co wall, back of head, spine at level of shoulders, buttoeks and heels just touching the wall and the small of your back,
 Beware of trying to hold in" or draw up" your stomach" or dia- phragm,' as the ignorant say. Don't give your belly another thought un- till you have learned how to breathe naturally,
 Tho only additional suggestion l would offer to girls who wish to in- prove posture Is this; Come down to earth for at least few hours every day-take off the high heels.
