Conservation - A Success Story

Tn the United States today there are certain shortages or threatened short ages Of goods as result of the war. The net effect as every consumer is beginning to learn, hes been a gradual tightening of our collective belt. This is now being accomplished by two methods Conserya- flon and Rationlng. Conservation, as 1t is now being used, amounts to Govern rnert control Of the channels of distrlbu- tor. More simply, only SO much Of the item being conserved Is allowed to reach Dolnts of sale. Rationlng, however, con Irols the consumer by telling hh how
 much of the ratloned item he can puF' lhaae.
 TIT really important difference be. lween tho tWo methods is that rationlng le lnsk resort at effective control. lt sometimes confusing, usually expensive

(New York Times)
 Mrs. Fillmore M. Herricks resigna- tion from her post as Regional Di- rector of the National Labor Re- lations Board to become personnel and labor relations director for a shipbuilding corporation reminds one that the person who fills a job is often more important than the job itself. Mrs. Herrick has quail ties which enable her to work her way up in private industry and then to make a success Of an exacting public position. She knew the language of union leader and Of employer, and would take no non. sense from either. She had a law to enforce, but she had an instinct for the justice and the common sense without which no .law can operate. Tn the hottest controversies she was able to get down 10 basic human relations, Sine dealt with people as people, not as animated Issues. knowing full well that many labor disputes arise cut Of the VagaFles Of human nature rather than from the clash of principles, She didn't often have to invoke pen- alllss, though she know how and when 10 mention them.

Last spring Thurman Arnold's Antitrust Division of the Justice Department became convinced that while shipyards were crying for steel, vast quantities of 1t were being hoarded in private ware houses. This steel, Justice De- partment officials believed, was largely in the hands of certain big companies, which had domi- mated the steel market for years.
 The Justice Department was convinced also that if all this steel could be got out of hiding and distributed to war industries, the nation would have ample.
 So Thurman Arnold evolved a plan to poet 50 Justice Depart
 ment agents at the gates of every important steel company early one morning, and make an immediate and surprise check up of all steel on hand.
 The plan was prepared secretly so that no word would leak out to the steel companies. How ever, Attorney General Riddle thought 1t only fair to advise Donald Nelson, since the inven- tory concerned the War Produc- ton Board and might reflect on some of Nelson's officials.
 DONALD NELSON OBJECTS
 But when Nelson heard about the plan he objected vigorously. He said the inventory would have a "disquieting effect upon indus tries operating under the war ef- fort"
 So Arnold, in deference to Nell son, called of his 50 agents.
 Since then, however, the Jus tice Departments suspicious have been justified. The Truman Com mittee of the Senate, plus the Boykin and Peterson Committees of the House, have revealed steel hcarding and discrimination in favor of large steel companies. Also the Justice Department sent it's own investigator, Edward Mill Ter, to New Orleans to probe Black Steel market charges made by the Higgins Shipbuilding Go.
 WIPE TO BLAME
 As a result of all this, a back stage debate has been going on between the Justice Department and the OfEice of Price Admins tration as to whether criminal charges should be lodged against big steel hoarders and law vio- latorS.
 Leon Henderson's OPA has been opposed to criminal proceed lngs, favors civil action. The Jus tice Department, however, wants to place the whole matter before a grand jury.
 Meanwhile, Justice Department officials have handed out con- fidential but very blunt warning. They say: "The real evil which created the entire misapplication of steel was the method used by WIPE and other governmental agencies. Any proceedings con- seuuently would involve important Government officials. since one of the reasons for price evasion is the fact that enormous tnvep- tories of steel has been allowed 10 accumulate in the warehouses without rhyme or reason.
 @The investigation would un.
 occasionally involve negligence
 and standardization on the
 part oe high officials Of WIFE"
 NOTE-Two high officials of the WIPES Iron and Steel section have now resigned.

CAPITAL CHAFF

CAPITAL CHAFT
 Key factor in getting Brig. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, Republican, ap- pointed U. s. Minister to New Zealand in Democratic admtn- istration was the friendship be- tween Mrs. Hurley and Mrs. Cordell Hull. Mrs. Hull put the appointment across with her hus- band, who in turn sold 1t to Roosevelt. Pat Hurley be- littles the wounds he got in Aus tralian action, but one of them was quite serious. . Postmaster General Frank Walker Is trying to reduce the P. O. deficit by withdrawing 2nd Glass mailing privileges from magazines fea- turing leg art. He has now closed about twenty mags. Publishers feel he is going so far that he will create dangerous precedents for press freedom in the future. Argentine Ambassador Espn, whose county believes in being neutral toward Hitler, arrived in Rio de Janeiro on the precise day that Good Neighbor Brazil de- clared war. Foreign Minister Os- waldo Aranha entertained Espil at dinner, told him 1t was Argen- tina's turn next. Chilean President Rios, arriving here Oct. 8, will break with the Axis about that time.
 ED FLYNN AND FDR
 Democratic Chairman Ed Flynn had a talk with FDR at the White House one night last week just before leaving for the West. He told the President that it was time to forget Brooklyn, support Bennett for Governor, and that all members of the party should be good Democrats from now on. The President made no definite commitment.
 NOTE--Flynn reports a grow ing storm of resentment inside Democratic ranks over the fact that so many government jobs are going to Republicans. FDR has taken the position that in wartime politics are out.

labor into the war effort was im- pressed on U. S. officials recently by Hedley Williams, representative of the British Minister of Pro- duction, loaned to Washington to give the benefit of British ex- perience.
 Williams told how he once pro- posed to his Minister that George Deer, head of the Transport Workers, be made chairman of the war production committee in the Mldlands. This committee, composed largely of industrialists, is for the purpose of planning and speeding war production.
 Rubbish" said the Minister,
 "put him on the council but
 don't make him chairman"
 Williams appointed the labor leader as chairman anyway. The experiment worked beautifully. Deer proved an able executive and the appointment increased labor's confidence and efficiency. Will Hams reports that all over Eng land labor ists on war production councils and gives invaluable ad- vice.

WRITER ASKS: FARE WE GOING TO LET NEW DEAL
 RUIN NATION?

Sept. 6, leAe. Editor of the Democrat:
 Are Americans going to allow their country to be conquered ane ruled by Nazis just because we have a New Deal Government? With the exception of a few great men, Con gress is hopeless. It is not only weak and inept, it is in deadly fear of labor leaders, on whom they rely for their political position.
 New Dealers make no effort to stop strikes. War work means noth- ing to them if 1t interferes witf their political advancement. Amer jeans must wake up, and face facts We must see the straits to which 6 New Deal Government has brought lis, and these New Dealers must be eliminated ct any costs before thes destroy the War Government Of the U. s. 4.

 e. Are birth certificates now re- ouired from persons seeking jobs in war production plants where work of a secret or confidential nature is being performed?
 A. Paul V. McNutt, war Inanpower cl1arman, announced on July 6, lD42, that birth certificates will no longer be required. A new procedure devel- oped Jointly by the Army and Navy, the War Manpower commission, and the U. s. Employment Service, calls merely for a simple declaration by the applicant for a job in c war plant that he or she is Q citizen. This declaration must be signed by the worker in the presence of an Army or Navy District Procurement Factory or Plant Protection repre- sentative. War and Navy contractors and sub-contractors have been noti- fled of the new procedure and the U. s. Employment offices have been instructed to assist employers and workers to carry 1t out.
