Verbal baifIe Over :, t Superiority of War
 Weapons AmpIified
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Of a!l the gulf being kicked around aboIt this war, the argument over whe- ther our planes, tanks, guns, etc., are superior or inferior to those of the enemy should be the most quickly ignored.
 I'm going to put the cart in front of the horse and say this now: In spite of all past stupidities, resist ance to change and cleavage to old-f fashioned ideas, our military forces won't insist on yesterdays weapons when today's have beer proved superior on the fields oi battle.
 When the M-3 tank was found to have certain flaws under actual battle conditions, the army came out with the M-4 and soon there won't be anything else produced ID the medium tank field. When f was found that the old French-7F the greatest anti-tank gun ever developed = lacked armor-piercing qualities that heavier enemy guns had, engineers increased it's muzzle velocity tand hence it's armor- -pierc- ing force) without sacrificing its

The W ashinqt0n Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert &. Allen on active duty)

Editors Note: The plastic ring, in substitute for the brass ring, but still good for one free ride on the WASHINGTON MERRY GO-ROUND, today goes to Col. Georges F. Doriot of the U. s. Quartermaster Corps)
 WASHINGTON-Never was the award of a plastic instead of a brass ring more fitting than this to Col. Georges F. Doriot, for it is his job in the Quartermaster Corps to find substitutes for cri- tical materials.
 And he has done a remarkable job. He has developed plastic buttons, plastic combs, plastic safe- ty razors, and wooden beds. He has even found a substitute for military stuffiness. He goes bust ling about his hot, bar1-like office wearing suspenders and no coat in violence to all regulations. The only thing this French war veteran can't find substitute for is time.
 The first thing we saw around his office was the wooden doubles decker bed, to replace the iron cots of the hate-to-get-up-in-the- morning days. The cot required 49.8 pounds of iron. The new bed has only springs of iron-8 pounds. And the double decking saves space too.
 Before aluminium became short, the field range (army cook stove) was made entirely of aluminium and stainless steel. Now it is made of black iron, frightened in spots

THE GREATEST NUMBER

Talk in public meetings, in Ken
newick homes, from your press deals
with the large number of Americans
who inhabit that zone or classifi-
cation of uneducated, undernour-
ished, illy-housed and clothed one
third Of the country's population.
But according to the people them
selves, they figure that 88 percent
of our total population is considering
itself in the middle class, six per
cent in the upper class and the
other six percent in the lowest. So
here we are making a big to-do
about the large number of the ma
tion's people not getting advantages
of food, clothing and education
whereas the greatest number is the
middle class which forms the long
backbone of our land. Certainly
this group should come in for the
greatest concern since they pay the
most taxes, produce the most and
consume the most. Build on them
for they are your foundation!

TRYING TO FOLLOW

Today it is a case of boundaries
being here today and gone tomor-
row. as the countless school children
pour over their geography and his
tory books, wondering if what they
learn today isn't just fact stretch
ed to probably flop back in place
sometime. next week. It is difficult
enough to learn dates, names, bat
ties, leaders, reasons, boundaries,
racial characteristics, rules of might
and right, and distances, without
having to each day alter the facts.
But always there are those things
We learn in the process of our
schooling that Napoleons and Hit

man equation, the things of our
selves and those like us who cover
the globe, the element of adding

HARD TO TAKE

Maybe you don't remember, but
your grandfather would. How back
in his day when any member of the
family looked "washed-out" or had
silver color" out of the small card
board box came a pill called calo-
mel and-so it felt-out came the
bottom of your stomach! The older
folks swore by it, but the other
members of the family failed to ap-
preciate this slow poisoning. They
felt the proper treatment was a pill
an hour for the period of day, If
you lived. We managed to live thru
&c TO come to a day when science
finds that grandma was wrong and
that calomel is most effective in re-
moving maggotS from cabbages.
That is what we figured a long
time back. Think of all those poor
calomel sufferers of yesteryear. In
case there is an old-faShioned
grandma in your house who still
believes in calomel pass on the word
so that during the "sick month" of
March she won't be tempted to use
this treatment for influenza, colds
and pneumonia. There has been a
far more effective way of prevent
ing colds to day and treatment to
check the spread of influenza bhat
has run rampant in past years.
Through modern inlmunizing we
have been able to make peace with
disease, and without the use of cal
pmel!

E 1t is generally agreed among those
in a position to know that this
country can lose the war. If it
should lose it, it will be due to too
much complacency, too much feel
ing that it is going to be an easy
push over We like to point to our
mass production and our resources.
We should watch that these things
do not become the Maginot line be-
hind which we hide in fancied Sc
curity. We've got a big job to win
the war and just as big job to wake
the country up to the realization
that it is a big job.

THE FUNNY SIDE

just keeping the chin up isn't
easy without outside help and one
of the sources for chin lifting is our
comic page. The cartoons and
comic strips during trying times are
tonics that have a great deal to do
with morale and the keep smiling
theme. The rest of the newspaper
is kept busy supplying you with
war news, knowing that it is re-
quired that they cover the headlines
for your reading interest. But the
comic strip artists can close their
eyes to subs and blackouts and con-
tinue to serve their public with dar-
ing adventures, kidnappings, fan
tastic situations and laughable pre-
dicaments, causing .chuckles from
their old and young followers. These
advocates might miss this comic
strip, were it eliminated, more than
the headline.

We can't conceive that there is
much patriotism to labor leader
who calls men out on strike and
ties up defense work. A means has
been set up whereby differences
can be arbitrated while work goes
on and we feel it should be used. In
most instances the patriotic work
men are not in sympathy with the
strike. The difficulty lies in the fact
that labor has allowed too many rad
icalS to secure control. These radi-
Gals care nothing for the country or
its fate. They are concerned only in
securing gains that they may con-
tinue to draw bigger and bigger sal
aries for themselves. The admins
tration by its sympathetic attitude
has reared a tiger cub that in the
nations emergency chooses to turn
upon it and claw it.
