Part of the land might be
used for construction of govern
ment -dnrmitories- for housing
war workers. These buildings
could be removed after the war.
With more and more families be-
ing forced TO seek their recrea-
ton close 10 home. due to the
tire shortage, additional facili-
ties are essential to maintain ci-
william health and morale"
The authority is also consider
ng acquiring land in the vicinity

ton for war workers there. IL
these plans are carried through,
Earhart said. the authority may

% finance land acquisition and pre-
iminary development.
Under present plans, the Belize
Vile land would only be rough

Use. But the conversion into a
park would be done after the war.

All Federal Workers Moi 0verworked; One
 Parasiie Gives Dope
(Continued from rage One)

right in the Civil Service Com mission (and it was only the best of score of similar articles sub- mitted) wrote, in part, the follow ing:
 !. T am one of the parasites.
 T draw $1,620 a year. If I didn't exist, 1920 American dollars could be directed into war channels in- stead of into my salary 160 Am ericans could have $10 a year lop- ped off their income taxes; 16 of the little fellows might have to pay no income tax at all.
 Do. you like being a parasite? You bet your life I don't. I do NOT feel honored or even lucky that I am one of the huge number of gov- ernment workers who spend their days killing time whose hardest task is standing in line to cash checks on pay day.
 We are a great army, we para sites. And almost unanimously we don't like it. But someone must like it-for we are retained in easy, effortless, and valueless positions despite the fact that the nation is supposed to be mobilized for war.
 This is my apology for being a parasite. Resigning is useless-my place would be immediately filled by another parasite"
 The young lady went on to say that she is seeking real working job in her own department or in some other but so far has been baked. She explains that she is a very capable person, has an al- most completed college degree, a record of several successful years in private industry, and has taken only three days sick leave in five years.
 The causes that breed parasites, she charges, are the rank stupidity of persons in supervisory positions in the offices concerned and the inefficiency of government methods and personnel offices.
 There are many people, I agree, who are overworked," she continues, and yet add hours of overtime which count importantly toward cleaning up the work of the gov ernment of country at war. Per- haps three-fourths of the govern ment workers come within this cat egory. But the other one-fourth is waste timber and should be cleaned out before another worker is brought into this already over crowded city"

BY HELEN LOMBARD.

The greatest danger to the Amer
ican war effort, according to a for
mer professor of economies who is
now a paratrooper, is its motor
lied" red tape.
The fact that America, with its
multitude of typewriters and mimeo-
graphs, can produce red tape quicker
than scratching countries con-
stitutes a real danger.
When you can make 20 copies as
quickly as one, you have to find
something to do with the other 10.
Some one has to read them, some
one has to sign them, some one has
to file them, some one has to pass
judgment on the accumulation. This
means more clerks, more filing cab
inets, more high executives and
the red tape machine gathers an
ever-increasing momentum while
the war effort slows down.
The former professor and brand
