reorganization The latter was nothing more than a glorificd press agent office.
 All of Dean Landis' actions so far have undone much of the damage wrecked by those formerly in charge, who made the OCD catch-all for all man. ner of pet social work projects
 The OCD now has opportunity to do real job, job which so far hasn't been done at all Whatever progress that has been made along .the line of civilian defense has been accomplished by communities without the aid of the oCD, and not through it.
 Before Dean Landis took over, it was hard for any person to take the whole war with the proper spirit of seriousness. This soberng up of the OCD, and the hint that the office is out to do some thing besides hire good looking blonde dancers should help this country settle down to do the job should prepare this country to defend itself as much as possible through it's civilians.

A Better Approach
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Chastened and wiser, and no longer breathing even small tongue of fire, Petroleum Coordinator Harold L. Ickes is handling the war-borne oil prob lem with much better tact and good sense than he handled the same problem in time of peace
 The problem today is of course, much more ser ious than it was last summer when MT Ickes struck out with some unnecessary and arbitrary action and many more unnecessary words. Present oil stocks being diverted to eyerincreaSing war needs More over, a large number of coastwse tankers, which normally supply 95 per cent of oil used on the east ern seaboard, have been sunk by enemy action.
 According to MT. Ickes's figures oil stocks on the east coast had reached peak of some 8,400000 bar rels more last December than were hand in the corresponding period in the previous year. Since then however, stocks have been going down with out interruption, hitting low last week of 5000,000 barrels below last years level.
 These are ominous figures But this time MT. Ickes is not going off half cooked The shortage is not critical, will it become if motorists in the affected voluntarily will reduce their gasoline consumption Is per cent, MT. Ickes has requested this voluntary action. He hasn't issued any sweep ing orders nor tossed a brickbat. He deserves a compliment on his new-found reasonableness.

GETTING ACTION

Things have been moving forward rapidly since New Yorks Little Flower" Mayor Fiorello H. La Guarda renqushed his ill-fitted job as head of the Office of Civilian Defense Tn the short time that James M Lands has had charge of this agency, much has been accomplished.
 First came the announcement that the OCD would concentrate upon the hazards to civilians n- stead of the frills of morale building and welfare work Then Dean Landis announced that the OCD would go in for NO extensive physical culture pro- grams. Physical culture, in his opinion should be confined to workers and men about to be called into the service. This move did much to eliminate large amount of trivia which had been hampering proper efforts of the office
 Another move at stripping the OCD for action came when the new chief knocked out two additional divisions-the Office of Inspectors General and the Know-Your- Government Division The first sup posed to advise the director on questions of regional

 .--viaps rationed to limit of three matches per day.
 The British have to get along with dozen matches day Conquered nations of Europe have hardly any matches at all. probably because they have hardly anything to light. The matches of this country are likely to face shortage with possible ratoning which however, will not reach serious extreme Here is where Junior of the Boy Scouts will come in handy when Dads matches are all gone and he needs light for the pipe; or when Marm will need light for the stove, or Sister when she finds her electric curler gone wrong. The crafts manship mparted to the ingenious Boy Scout can then be requsitioned and flame can be created in Indian style by rubbing two sticks of wood to- gether by striking spark from two frictoned pieces of stone One misses good thing until he hasn't got it until it gets scarce that it be- comes rarity We may be reminded of this truism if our matches are to become scarce.

MacARTHUR'S PLIGHT

For long time now, every American has hoped that means could be found to take reinforce ments to the gallant fighting with Gen. Douglas Macarthur in the Batan Hills. Recently, some mem bers of Congress have practically demanded that the War Department find the means
 We are beginning to believe that most Americans know more about the Pacific situation than these demanding Congressmen Most Americans are aware that the road to the Philippines lies nearly 5000 miles from Pearl Harbor. The road is now controlled by beats of the Japanese navy It lies near islands infested with Japanese arpanes. Frankly, it is impossible to get any kind of a convoy to Batan Peninsula
 Before that read be travelled armed forces must check the Japanese drive that now is pointing towards clean sweep of the Pacific Then 1t must acquire naval and air bases within effective striking distance of the Jap forces of occupation in the Philippines Whether or not we can send aid to General MacArthur depends upon our choking the, Japanese offensive, and then launching suc- cessfu counter attack.
 Reports reaching the United States via London recently indicate that large United States force has almost reached the front line of the Pacific battle zone and this may be the huge counter of fensive we have been waiting for.
 In the meantime, let's be assured that the War Department is doing everything within it's means to relieve General MacArthur's besieged forces

DEFENSE DipoEs

Priorities officials can enumerate a long list of things essential te defense production, but dead sea horse is not one of them. The authorities formally went on rec. ord to this effect in reply to a unique letter from a woman biology teacher in a small mid western col lege. aN
 She wrote in anxiously inquirine if it would hurt the defense pro- gram if she purchased the fol- lowing items needed for the in- struction of her class;
 One embalmed sea horse. One lizard.
 One pig embryo.
 She was assured that the articles were not yet on the critical list. '
 However, it took several letters to convince Montana sheriff that he also didn't need a priority rat ing to preserve law and order in his county.
 My old gun is on the blink, the sheriff complained, and want to buy new 38 caliber Colt re- volver I'll have to send away for it, which means a lot of prior ity red tape. Please send me a rating right away so I can uphold the law out here"
 The sheriff was advised he could buy a gun without a special rat ing
