 The scene of this emergency job was West Africa but the repairs had been made possible years before by aeronautical engineers who argued around So- ciety of Automotve Engineers conference tables in New York Detroit, San Francisco and a score of other cities Similar conferences in almost contnu- ous session since before limited emergency was declared by the President, have been going on and presently continue. Out of them have come many agreements with the Army, the Navy and in- dustry on standards on codes of practice, on shop drawings and nomenclature, all tending to simplify and channelize the huge effort of America engaged in total war.
 The S. A. E. committees have definitely and by policy refraned from giving counsel on matters which might be termed either tactical or strategical They have simply served to put the best technical brains available to work on the hundreds of problems which the armed services have raised for the supply and maintenance Of mechanical force. They have asked to credit and for the most part have offered new suggestions only on the contingent basis that the particular service in question might wish them But their quiet, patient and patriotic work has served enormously to speed the machine It deserves the gratitude of the nation

War On The Submarines
(NeW York Timesl

The sudden outburst of submarine snkingS in the South Atlantic which has driven Brazil to the verge ot war With the Axis and the decline of U-boat act lvlty OH our own coast two phases of a single campaign. German and Italian undersea boats have apparently been driven into less perlous waters, with the result that Brazilian shipping is suf- lerng the same destruction which we seemed help less to stop even month ago.
 It is no comfort to Brazil to know that the Axis cannot hope to equal in her waters the record of devastation which it achieved off the coasts of the United States. The sea lanes there are emptier Why Germany courts war with Brazil it is not easy o see, for war will bring to Brazil the same meth eds of protection against the submarine which have begun to give us measure of relief. In every ocean this war has proved that the U-boat can neither meet nor master a we-developed convoy system.
 Fresh proof of this is provided by the latest fig ures In the week ending Aug. 15 only seven Allied shlpS were sunk in the Atlantic, of them off our Atlantic coast or in the Caribbean. The con- Voy system is now in operation. Around the British Isles and in the naval channels between this coun- try and England is highly effective. It was estab- Ashed on our Atlantic coast May A. Between that date and the end of July only four ships out of 1900 conveyed were sunk. Now the system has been extended to the Caribbean with good results
 The patrol is not yet perfect. We still have far too few bhmps, planes and destroyers for the immense commerce involved. But wherever the convoy system IS functloning in full efficiency the U-boat simply cannot i've It will always be possible for a sub marine pack to break into a convoy but the risk soon becomes prohbitive. The farther the U-boats are forced from shore into oneler seas the less their power to destroy becomes

WHO RUNS OIL?

Preventing the overlapping of government agencies obviously is hard job when the Government mas become so big. However. on question so vital as rubber if would seem not only relatively simple but important to secure CO., operation between agencies.
 on Sept. l, WPBoss Donald Nell son wrote to Wayne Johnson di- rectlng him to examine the nos slolltles and potentialities of nro- duclng rubber, high test gasoline and kindred by-products from the petroleum refineries of the country
 Coming nine months after Pear, Haroor, such a directive on Senr l seemed bit tardy. But in ad- dition it cut directly across work already being done by Ickes' Office of Petroleum Coordinator. On .Jnlv IS, this office sent out an order

SELECTIVE SERVICE

Thanks to some of the lessons learned in the first World War and to the head start gained before the United States attacked this time the present selective service program is undoubtedly the most effective and ares in the nations history It could be so described of course in the nature of faint praise because draft programs notoriousy far from pefect in their operation It was just few generations ago that any we-to-do young man could avoid service by paying the stipulated bounty to someone else. We have progressed long way in- what basis still exists for criticism the exception mans son a little more likely to be called for ser vice than the poor mans
 The selective service program still is being experi- mented with, and various improvements have been made in the plan in the light of experience. This is commendable, even if changes and improvements have in cases been effected at the price of widespread confusion.
 The program has suffered from the outset, of course, by the lack of a consistent universal policy governing such major points types of dependency. Almost every time the program director made speech there interpretation of the select i've service policy And, usually, these nterpreta- tons were entirely pontless, because the state and local boards often had their ideas in interpret ing the drectives and providing the necessary man power for the Army. Then, too the differently com posed draft board districts made difficult the opera tion Of uniform policy Some districts had single men to spare for quotas other quickly were compelled to turn to married men. Only now has the seective service program been revised to equaze such differ ences on wide basis. This particular reform comes at late date indeed.

 ''The priest replied that for some time he had been trying to com- plete leaded window in his chap el. So the Assistant Secretary took out his check book and wrote a check for $200.
 "A year later word was received that the window had been com pleted, and that candle was burn ing in it in memory of the United States Navy and all it represented.
 Six years later another letter came saying that the candle was still burning. Other letters have followed. And that candle is still burning-unless the Nazis have put it out"

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Is

Adverse planetary aspects rule today. The morning may be un- fortunate for shipping or for a plan affecting our commerce.
 HEART AND HOME: Women come under a benefic direction of the stars late today. The config- uration encourages love affairs and extends the circles of friendship. Demand for women in the indus tries will defect many college stu dents from their educational pro- grams, but girls will prove the value of technical training Homes once centers of youthful social life will become havens for weary sol diers and war workers. House. keepers will extend the most cor dial hospitality as a part of their patriotic tasks. Many marriages and engagements to marry will mark this month.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Economies due to war exigencies will prove helpful to the small businessmen who will cut unnecessary expenses as they prepare for the winters trade. Government contracts, with held because of vast production needs which had to be met on a grand scale, now will be awarded to minor concerns. In towns of linn ited population as well as in large cities money will be plentiful and prosperity general.
 NATIONAL ISSUUES: Dangers from subversive agencies will null tiply through the Autumn, despite the efficient work of Government secret service agencies. There is sign that seems to presage ser- ious results caused by citizens of radical views who criticize the President and Congress. Words have tremendous force under the planetary rule through this war period, the seers declare, and they
  advise penalties for unwise speech.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Interpretations of Bible prophecies will be broadcast frequently in con- ing months and many will be mis- leading, according to seers. Read ings of inscriptions in the geat pyramid of Gizeh will be contra dictory, although will not make many mistakes, according to lead ing occultists.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of extra ordinary events, some of which will be most fortunate. It is well to guard against deception in love and business.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be decidedly individual and difficult to understand. They should be exceedingly gifted and able to succeed.

ROOSEVELT IS RADIO WRITER

The American public doesn't hear much about the short wave radio broadcasts which send a constant stream of U. s. propaganda into Axis countries. Still less does 1t know that recently President Roose- welt himself personally dictated one of the most effective of these breakfasts.
 Briefly summarized here is what Roosevelt dictated:
 Tn 1918, the Assistant Secretary of the U. s. Navy was riding through Brittany when his pilot car, driving ahead of him, bumped into priest.
 The Assistant Secretary of the Navy went to the assistance of the priest and offered to take him to a hospital. But. brushing off his clothes, the priest said he was not hurt. The Assistant Secretary then offered him compensation. The priest replied that never would he accept any compensation from so fine an organization as the United States Navy.
 So the Assistant Secretary then asked if there was anything which

to all oil companies to examine the possibilities Of conserving butyl for he quick manufacture of rubber, taking advantage of the refineries which were becoming idle because of gasoline rationing.
 Furthermore, it happens that all the oil companies of the nation are operating very effectively = under lckes. Nevertheless, Nelson slid a highly important order off his desk without any regard to what another
 important agency was doing.
 Note: Wayne Johnson, to whom Nelson issued the order, was a very effective money raiser for Roosevelt's campaign in 1882, 1886, and 1940; is genial and effective director of a railroad and a ship ping company, but so far as is known, had absolutely no previous experience in oil
