Washington Daybook
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Mar 13-The Capital in
wartime: Much has been written about the
hordes of new federal workers coming to Wash
ington, but as paradoxical as it may seem,
one of the governments minor headaches
comes from those handfuls who are constantly
leaving. These are the girls and boys who
are brought here from states, find the con-
fusion, the overcrowding the poor housing
conditions, the high cost Of living, and perhaps
above all, the loneliness, too much for them
and pack up and hit for home.
The point is that the departure nearly al
ways occurs after a few months, just when
the new employee has been effectively ''brok
en- in'' and is able to perform his new job ef-
ficiently. Every employer knows the expense,
confusion and loss Of efficiency in his busi-
ness resulting from employe turnover. In the
case of the government, the expense alone
runs into many thousands Of dollars a month.
This is one Of the reasons why the govern.
ment maintains vast recreatlonal program,
with athletics indoors and out, dances and
dramatcs all sponsored by the departmental
recreational units. 1t is one reason why the
government is now spending money to aid
new workers in getting suitable housing ac-
commodations. And it is one of the chief
reasons why federal officials have never min
imized the discomforts and difficulties of work.
ing and living in wartime Washington.
That is why too, that in spite of the paper
saving campaign, the recreation service of
the metropolitan defense area is coming out
with a new government employe magazine,
"The Federal Communique," designed to in
form workers of ways and means of making
their lives in the wartime capital a little
less onerous. The magazine won't be for
free and no effort will be made to sell it
at cost-but all profits will 60 into the en-
ployes' recreational fund.
Congressman Joshua L. Johns of Wisconsin
wrapped it up in a nutshell the other day,
when he told House colleagues and the gal
lerles: For this fiscal year up to March 4,
we have been spending an average of $50,
100000 day, and of that amount we have
been running in the red $4,000, ,0OO
When Washington has its next test blackout,
every one Of the governments 391 buildings
here will go dark 30. There will be no
more of that business of having some public
buildings even floodlighted from outside while
the private population gropes through dark
ened homes
The size of the blackout job may be guessed
from the estimate Of public buildings Official
that it will cost $1,C0O,000 to make it total
This amount won't be spent, however, in the
coming test Only where night shifts are
working will blackout frames be installed
over windows and DOORS In others, the lights
will simply be turned out.

Homemade Bicycles

Curtailrnent of bicycle production will force
more people to walk.
The AZ per cent cut imposed upon manu-
facturers will mean fewer potential bicyclists
will be able to peddle their way about when
gasoline and autos and tires are no longer
available for mere folks.
And so, gradually habby thighs and calls
will grow hard again and possibly health gen
orally will be improved, for bit of walk
ing. if the pedestrians heart is normal, is
recommended universally by physicians And
health is an asset we can well afford to
develop as an attribute of success in the war.
It will be surprising however, if the youth
Of the land, denied bicycles either because
of their cost or scarcity, do not find ways
to build their own. They would not be es-
pecially beautiful, but as the chief purpose
of bicycle is to convey the rider from
here to there, and as they would unquestion-
ably do that, their mere architecture would
be of small consequence.
Some among the old-tiners can remember
when ingenious boys made their own bicycles
with buggy wheel in front and wheel
barrow wheel behind, linked up with wooden
Frame guided by broomstick handlebar and
propelled with wooden peddles attached to a
piece Of bar iron filched from a baby buggy
It was not much of vehicle, by present
standards, but it sure got around
With better materials to be found in vacant
lots and cellars than boys of half a century
q hoI tn ~ H.
if the kids of today made vast improvements
on the homemade bicycles their grandfathers
made for themselves.

EDITORIAL

more reassuring If the Vichy government had
power to carry out its commitments or mill
tary strength to enforce its will.
Because Vichy is slipping more and more
under Nazi domination and equally because
japan is Germany's war partner, any prom
ise given by the Vichy regime is to be con-
sidered of little worth unless it happens to
coincide with Hitlers plans. And there is no
reason to think that Hitler would be averse
to japanese occupation Of Madagascar where
the Tokyo forces could be very effective in
disrupting United Nations communications.
As we have said before in these columns,
the only Frenchmen who ought to have con-
troll of this great island are the forces OF
Free France, commanded by General de-
Gaulle. The sooner they move in, and take
over, with naval and air support, the sooner
may the United Nations feel assured OF rob-
bing the japanese of one more strategic base
Of operations.
Marshal Petain's declaration t h a Vlchy,
France will remain neutral, made in con-
nection with his assurance that the French
will not be surrendered to the Nazis would
carry more weight and be more convincing
if the marshal had power to enforce his
decision.

Editorial Comment
NOT VERY IMPORTANT
Durham Herald

General MacArthur's reports of happenings
on Bataan and adjacent territory have been
unusually accurate so far as the record dis.
closes, which suggests that he has dependable
sources.
Hence his report that the Japanese genera,
who has failed in several assaults on Bataan
mas committed suicide and General Yamashi
Ia, the conqueror of Singapore, has taken over
is popularity believed and may we'll be cor.
rect.
1t strikes us, however, as mistake to get
too excited over such incidents, be they true
or just rumors
The really important thing about the Bataan
situation is that the Japanese, according f.
latest reports, now have some 100000 we'll.
equipped men in place to move against Gen.
eral MacArthur's force, and whether under
Japan's best or next best general that force
can afford almost my price taking Bataan
requires. And if The new general brought rein.
1orcements with him, as reported, the national
conclusion is that he was set to smash Mac
Arthur's band no matter the cost.
True, not few who have only their lunches
to lean upon have wondered and are wonder.
ing just how it is that the japanese keep on
| flndlng relnforcements to send to half dozen
points like the Philippines and still h v g
enough left to get set for a smash against
Australia, another lunge against India and all
OF the others the experts say are in the inn
mediate offing. It is puzzling, too, how it is
the matter of stretched out communications
and ship shortage, which plaques the United
States appears not to hamper the Japanese
and certainly doesn't hamper the experts who
are telling us what Japan is going to do next.
Frankly, we are unable to follow the twisted
reasoning of many Of our experts
IL would seem to us that if the Japanese
are getting set for full scale smash against
Australia, they aren't sending reinforcements
in number to the Philippines to help smash
| I inc soft
all-out in campaign through Burma and In
dla, as is insisted by some they probably
aren't going all-out against Australia and the
] Philippines simultaneously.

ested In the development OF Wilmington ana
southeastern North Carolina
To begin with, the proposal to house some
# the employees nearer the post Is wise
one IN view of today's mounting transporta-
tim nroblens. The rationing Of automobiles
md +;res and the decrease in gasoline will
soon make it impossible for many to COM
mute to the camp except by bus. IN aooltlon
.s o,,r war effort increases, it will require
more working time on the part OF everybody
wbv waste this time in driving 60 miles
which is the case with workers at the post
residing in Wilmington-each day?
Then the construction of these homes will
mean much in the governments decision to
make Camp Davis permanent army post
AS War Department officials consider the fu-
tire of this i-aircraft center, it is reason
able to assume that housing will be major
factor in whether the Army will pull up
stakes at Holly Ridge or continue the post
and develop it into one of the most impor-
tant in the service. We say zone of the
most important" because of the value today's
war is showing in plane defenses. Already
Davis has one school of the Coast Artillery
and sections Of two others-both pertaining
to the anti-aircraft service-are scheduled to
be moved there soon.
Early approval of the application for the
ward to the advancement of Davis.

A Lesson For u. S.

The people Of the United States are at war
They say they know their own continent is
in danger of attack, their own nation men,
aced But do they know it? Do they admit
the possibility that one dark night a bomb
may drop on their children as they sleep.
that one fine day the Jap may come march
ing or filtering' down the street in front
of their office? Do they honestly tell them
selves that they may have to meet, person
ally, the physical dangers of war?
No, Of course not. The war is still far off.
1t is something happening to Macarthur S
Magnificents on Bataan, to the fighting Rus
slams and Chinese. Yes, and to the bombed
and belea guered British.
In India last year and the year before the
debates in Calcutta and Bombay did not cen.
ter on the defense Of India. Self-government
was the main subject. The amount of aid
to be given Britain was another. But the
defense of India herself was not seriously
considered.
Now the Jap is next door, He is fighting
IN Burma, more than two thousand miles
from his home islands Tokyo talks to India
Oh India for Indians" but Indian leaders
well know that the jap will come in and
bomb their babies and rob them of their
rlches he can do the job They know il
now. But they did not know it last year.
In Australia last year and the wear before
the debates in Canberra did not center on
the defense of Australia Conseription and
the amount of aid to be given Britain were
parliament's main concern. Defense of Aus.
tralia was little more than rhetoical cues
| ton.
Now the Jap is next door Tokyo has al.
ready promised to "Japanize' this island con.
'ii'e' Australians have already been bombed
Oh lhelr homeland. Australian leaders know
ehey must beat the Jap off their island OF
see IL become Jap vassal They know il
now But they did not know it last year
Inc lesson for the United States is plain:
Fight this war to the fullest right now
Whip the potential invader while he is at
tempting to take the far off lands of others
railing that, be ready to fight the enem,
right here in America. Be ready to meet thu
physical horrors Of war face to face.

AS Others Say 1t
LONG MEMORIES

"Asia for the Asiatics" is a
strictly Japanese slogan, meaning
'for Japan" fact which the
Chinese. who are Asiatics, have
known long since. In Japan's at
tempt to overrun all of Asia, Chi
ma has been the first to suffer;
but the Chinese remember earlier
invasion attempts of Asiatic neigh
bors, and the way these invaders
were finally dealt with. An echo
of this is contained in this excerpt
from poem written by Kao Shih
in 739 A. D., and quoted by Ida
Hoyt Chamberlain in the current
China Monthly:
These men have looked death in
the face, not troubled to think
of fame.
do you not see the sandy wastes,
the battles and bitterness of the
struggle?
ITO this day you remember the
great General Ii Mu of Chao
State in the
"Chao dynasty who destroyed the
Tartar states and removed fear
of invasion. ."-Baltimore Eve

Around Chungking

Chinese operations directed against the ene-
my in the Chungking area, and the Japanese
effort to throttle Chang Kai-shek's forces
thereabouts are explained to some extent by
the fact that if the Chinese can force their
way to the coast anywhere in the vicinity of
Shanghai they will be in position to bomb
Japans greatest war industrial centers.
There is nothing in the published accounts
OF operations there to indicate that Chang
Kai-shek has made plans calling for such
an effort at present. Right now he appears
most concerned with the task of consolidating
with the British against prospective attack
on India and maintenance of communications
between India and China by other means than
the Burma road. The Chinese armies are
not equipped as yet for a major counter.
attack and are restricted to more or less 1oca1
actions.
But it would appear that when the time
arrives for the major thrust of the United
Nations part of Chinas program will he
direct attack on Japan from the west. When
and if the day arrives for such an operation
it would be vastly to China's advantage te
have it's approach to the coast clear of Jan,.
nese forces.
1t is obvious that the increasing suerri11.
activity around Chungking has for its object
the softening of Japanese resistance there
as an essential step toward japan
