Selected Poem
RE-ENLISTMENT

(Harod Willard Gleason in the New York 1imes) They had not laid keel on Union River Since lumber schooners were the village boast; The shipyard lay deserted-closed forever, Elijah Danforth figured, dd most.
 With heavy heart he left the oakum-Scented, Pne-chip-streWn ways, and from his cabin, high Above the bay when odd-job tasks were done With an ingenious spyglass he'd invented Watched ever fewer masts against the sky Crossing the reach mouth in the setting sun. Then daWned day when, reused from vegetation by piracy that threatened every shore Heed'ng the urgent summons of the nation, The little shipyard stirred to life once more . Elijah bearing mallet, chlsel plane,
 Stumped briskly into action down the lane, At eighty odd a shipWright once again!

 ''The matter is closed as far as am cGnccrned," objected Chairman Carl Vi,l&On of Geor- gia. The Roberts beard made very thorough investigation and, I think, very frank re- port to the people.

 Rep. Ed Izac of California in terposed, Tt wouldn't surprise me of Justice Roberts did that in a separate report to tae President with additional information not contained in the report made pub lic.'
 'If there is such report" retorted Maas, this committee has a right to see it"
 Vinson and Izac disagreed with Maas, contcnGing that some of the findings of the Roberts board undoubtedly were military secre,s which would be ban@tlcial to the enemy if made public.
 This exchange ended the dis cuseion. Committee members had forgotten about it until they picked up late afternoon news paper and, to their surprise, be- held Maas' statement that he could assure the country" thcr- ough investigation of Pearl Har- bor would De undertaken by the committee.
 NOTE: Democrats are charging ing that partisan politics was be- hind Maas' action and that he was seeking to make political capi- tai out of the Roberts report. MANS SIZE GLASS
 Hardest worked man at the Pan American Conference was Sum- ner Welles, Undersecretary of State and head of the U. s. dele gation. All day long he bargained with other delegates. Most of the night he burned the midnight oil at a table in his hotel room.
 Attached to Welles to guard him against crackpo.s or possible Axis intruders was a Brazilian secret service man, Oliveira. Equally tired from following the energetic American delegate all day, Secret Serviceman Oliveira liked to retire as soon as he was sure 'Welles was alone in his hotel suite.
 One night as Oliveira was about to go home, Welles sent out for bottle of champagne. But only one glass arrived. That, con- cluded Secret Serviceman Oliveira meant that Welies had no guest, was having private refresher.
 But Oliveira waited bit longer just to be sure Welles was alone. Suddenly the waiter appeared bearing another glass.
 "Ah," decided the secret ser vice man, "that means WelIes has a guest. l will have to re- main. It might be an Argen-

 Jones did not accept this challenge. He backed down and Nclaons man is Eow keeping an eagle eye on the DPC.
 NOTE-W When Nelson wrote the executive order alm:ng him With wide power to operate as war pro- duction czar, he very carefully il.-' cluded a provision giving him authority over Jones. The law years who made the first draft of the order omitted this, put Nelson personally inserted it. As an OPM official he has seen Jones hold up urgently neeced rubber, alum mum and tin programs, and Nell son was taking on chances on making c2rtain who was boss. MAS PROBE
 One reason for the House Naval Affairs committees tWo-to-One turn-dCWn Gf a Pearl Harbor probe was Representative Melvin Maas' previous orating to reporters.
 The chunk Minnesotan is rank ing COP member of the commit .ee and after q private session of the committee, told neWsmen that an investigation was contemplated. Actually, no such decision had been reached. This is what really happened:
 As the meeting was breaking up, and after several members had left, Maas suddenly declared that the committee ought to "lc0k into" the Robert report.
 "The report is very inadequate in my opinion" he said. "it doesn't tell the whole story about all the factors and indi- viduaIs responsible for our un-

It was hard to believe this, but the City of Philadelphia actually has had gas street lights up to the present time. 220oo of them were just turned off, probably for good, as the city got into shape for a test black-out. Also 5000 hand-operated electric lights were turned off. MaypS these black -outs will have the practical effect, when all are dispensed with, or completely modernizing our munlcipal lighting systems.

that it would be allowed to complete

Leaders of the armed forces, he

provide future trained ability not
only for the armed services but for

the necessities of war may change
