The eruption in the Otfice of War In- Formation, with IS experts quitting over the forced resignation of Henry Rringae. spotlights a most unfortunate aspect of the wartime information situation. The public has great confidence in both the Integrity and the ability of Elmer Davis. owl chief. It has wondered why, with a man of his character and attachments in charge, the OWT has failed so diSMally iE some of its most important duties The answer is that like most other S0-called "czars" in Washington, MT. Davis has been given responsibility without cores pending authority. He is not, In fact, the wartime publicity chief He Is co-0r- olnator, a wheeler, . needler, techni- clan, forced to flounder too often in the red tape of a hit-or-miSs SetNp>
 It is not Mr. Davis, the acknowledged what shall be told Co the public, and how He can only advise - and ln whatever emasculated form his advice may be talk or, 20 through the routine of producing handouts. The Navy Department can and does ScoEn his advice The War Department can and does less often. When his men try t0 tell the public how serious is the food situation, for instance, and why, the story IS hacked up by every department which, if the truth were told, would be disclosed as inefficient, political or SQOeamlSh. There probably are no less than a do1en maior subjects on which, if the people were told the truth, no benefit could How Co the enemy and the domestic temper would be greatly improved. MT. Davis knows what those topics are. He knows pretty well what would be disclosed if competent newSpapermen, in the OWI, were turned loose t0 tell the truth about them. He does the best he can, His best men leave him and his office looks eath- CT incompetent or deliberately eVASlve, when as a matter of fact it Is so only be- cause 1t never has been given the author iky the people supposed it possessed
 When major crisis arises in public relations, Mr. Davis has to go to the White House and ask the President, who has a number of other important jobs on h1S desk, to act as arbiter. Mir. Davis Staft never runs into difficulty when routine, dry-as-duSt handouts are to be sent around, or when some department or bur- eau Is to be ballyhooed. The troubles arise when there are unpleasant truths to be told. You may not like this. We don't That's why we are telling you.

that if Congress hamstrung the Farm Security Administration, the Mexican Government would buck buck at negotiating a new labor contract, and there would be cost ly delays to California fruit grow CTS. So Teague wanted the Mexicans imported under the eX- isting contract.
 But Ed O'NeaI got to him, urged him to hold back. He ad- mitted Teague's plan would work, but said he didn't want 1t put through until after Congress had finished hamstringing the Farm Security Administration. Tn short he wanted to embarass the FSA more than he wanted to bring in Mexican labor to help California fruit growers.
 Fruit Grower Teague is no radi- cal, but he was disgusted. He boiled over in 8 letter to Cover nor Earl Warren of California, packed his bags and went home. SHIPPING WASTE

tirnony by members of the CIO National Maritime Union about a near mutiny on a merchant ships owned by tme Grace Lines, in September of last year.
 Union officials have informed the committee that this ship, load- ed with munitions and supplies for an American force in the New Hebrides Islands, was laid up at an island port for 5i days with out unloading.
 When crew members went to the captain and volunteered services free to assist native lOngsh0remen in unloading the ship, the captain told them to mind their own business. It was not until crew members held a secret meeting, and formed a committee to demand immedi- ate action by the captain, that he agreed to the unloading of the ship.
 NOTE: Probably other factors caused the delay, but the govern- ment was paying the Grace Lines at the rate of about $l.000 8 day for operation of the ship on a time-charter basis, which meant about $51 900 for the 5l days she remained unloaded in the New Hebrides.

Women who handled electric washers and ironerS in their laMndEieS are handling lathes and running drills They may not like the work but they are doing it for what they get out of it, principally, and some through patriotic Impulses.
 Already the problem handlers are say ing - what is going to become of the millions of women factory workers when the war is over? The war IS going to end some day, and all those thousands and thousands of men folks are coming bark to work at jobs again Gradually the women will be released and where are they going? Some, of course, win return to their homes Others will try to make agreeable contacts in other lines of WMk- Some will be successful; but. of course, nfhers will be Left out on limb.

 Obviously that heading was tailored to fit a space. Otherwise the story could have been told in less words and more ac- c0rately by saying simply "Duce Agrees Again"

Lincoln was changed from what he was in the early days of his life to what he became through definite spiritual miracle.
 Whether this is true or not. we know that religion played a mighty part in Lincoln's life. There were times when he appeared a scoffer. an agnostic; but there were later times when great responsibility was put upon him and sorrow had had her way with him, that his heart was truly touched by the Spirit Of God and his life renewed. He was not a man for whom religious faith was easy to acquire or to retain. He had great struggles over matters of faith to the very last day of his life. The greatest thing he did was
 not to free the slaves. great as that
 was. The greatest thing he did was
 to give spiritual leadership to his
 generation and inspiration to the
 generations which have followed.
 There was something about him
 which testified to the reality of
 eternal purpose.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Yes, We Have No Bananas

I have had wonderful success in the care of my baby, as instructed by your practical baby book. There is just one question I want to ask. Now that we have no bananas (my five months old baby is ready for ananas) what may feed her in place of banana? (Mrs. J. V. B.
 Answer-I'm sorry I know of no suitable substitute for banana for infants. The edible portion of ripe banana is three-fourths water. De- hydrated banana in powder form should be equivalent to four spoon fuls of fresh ripe banana.

 RELIEF FOR AIRMEN
 Gradually. an Army Air Force sys. tenn is being worked out to give combat and bomber pilots and crews
 relief from active duty after definite periods in the air. or in actual con- tact with the enemy. The offlce of
 the Army Air Surgeon, Brig. Gen, David N. Grant, has set up Its
 own regulations for safeguarding the health of air personnel. and today any flight surgeon can order e pilot or gunner grounded if he shows symptoms of nervous tension or III health that might adversely affect his performance in the air.
 Maximum service for air force per- sonnel on active duty at the front is a year for flying men. 18 months for ground crews. Ideally, 1t has been suggested that flying men get one weeks rest every six or eight weeks. and that after 50 missions or 1S0 hours flying time over en-
 emy territory. the flight crews be given ground assignments or brought back for long rests before they are assigned to active duty. Most "shot-up" unit of the Army Air Forces in this war is the fa- nous 18th Bomhardment Group whi:h fought the war in the Philip pines. Java and over southwest Pacific isles before its remnants
 were brought home for rest. But in time those remnants were called
 to Pyote Army Air Base in Texas SO that what was left of tine old 18th could be broken up. and its experienced personnel (who shot down more than 500 planes and won over 1000 decorations in over year of continuous fighting) could be distributed among newly organized
 hombar6ment groups to carry on the fight.

 NEVER MIND YOUR CHEST
 4 familiar complaint of so-called '.neurasthenics" is that they cannot seem to get enough air. This 1eel- ing is not necessarily just tmagi- nary or Q queer notion, but may be quite rational, in the opinion of Haldane and Priestley tRespira- tion, Yale university Press, 1e36). These authors believe many such patients have Q moderate asphyxia, aroxia, oxygen deficit, shortage of oxygen, simply because their breath ing is shallow.
 In the good old days when . doc. tor could achieve fame by develop ing a theory and simply announcing it in print-he didn't have to wor- " much about scientific evidence to support the big Idea. That's how ''neurasthenia" got going-and a thousand fashionable sanitariums to cater to the great American nerves" in the old days.
 The distinctive symptom of ''neu- rasthenia," as nearly as I can Iin- derstand it, was quick fatigability.- I was going to underScore or italic- ize those two words, but on second thought I had better not. Certain ly don't want to contribute to the making of Glass B neuroticS.
 Rather I mention quick fatiga- bility in order to point out that it Is very first manifestation of an- oxia, insufficient oxygen delivered to the cells, oxygen deficit, whether this oxygen deficiency is due to an- emia, carbon monoxide pollution of the air, weak heart muscle and poor circulation or, may we say, the habit of shallow breathing.
 Who is likely to have the habit of shallow breathing?
 Anybody who breathes artificial. ly (chest or thoracic breathing) instead of naturally (belly or dia. phragmatic breathing) and anybody who sits and looks on whole others. perhaps hired professionals, play the game, instead of playing the game himself, and anybody who just sits and does not get enough ex- ercise, active work or play, every day to make him breathe deeply.
 When I say breathe deeply I mean belly breathing, breathing that inflates the belly (the word belly is derived from an Anglo Saxon term meaning bag or bel- lows).
 Whenever you give your breath ing any attention at all, never mind your chest, but strive to infiate or expand your belly, and as smoothly and thoroughly as you can, without straining.
 Wrong teaching by uneducated physical instructors has done much harm by encouraging millions of Americans in the habit of shallow breathing. Any one who tries to expand the chest when breathing is sure to breathe in a shallow way. That comic opera effort opposes natural breathing and favors oxy- gen deficit in the body.
