Open Door at OPA

There has been a notable change Tn atmosphere around the Office of Price Administration in Washington some thing approaching complete about face, in some respects. Affable Administrator Brown is leaning over backward to avoid errors made by belligerent Leon Tender son, his predecessor. This has obvious virtues. MT. Brown appeals to our better nature where MT. Henderson used to crack the bullwhip. We enjoy the Brown approach better. There is not enough experience to prove whether, in the price and shortage emergency we are going through, molaSseS actually will catch more flies than vinegar did. MT. Brown also gets along better with congressman. He used to be one himself. His door is wide open and his telephone already off the hook whenever any congressman wants to put flea in his ear. That is commendable. Surely an administrator whose work touches everybody so closely needs to be courteouSly accessible to the peoples representatives on the Hill.
 Unfortunately, there is reason to be- lieve that MT. Brown is altogether too eager to please. He not only listens respectively to congressman and con- EiderS their viewpoints. Evidence accum- ul6CcS JldC, except OIl IudLLeIS OL lSSlSLd- ton in which the White House is vitally interested, MT. Brown falls all over him. self to do little favors for the congress men mo little favor important, but all together building up into a mountain that might prove highly unfortunate. Reliable men whose business takes them frequently to MT. Browns office say that it bears a disconcerning resemblance to the headquarters of Tammany Hall. Leon Henderson was kicked out because he almost violently refused to play ball with the solons. Requests which he consid- cred either improper or unSound were denied with vehement profanity. Per maps Mir. Brown feels that by giving freely in little things he can build up an influence sufficient to prevent Congress from going overheard on major bloc Legislation which would destroy price control overnight. If that is his feeling, he may be correct. But, if price control IS going to be demolished anyway, there are those who feel that the administrator would do nobler job if, like MT. Tender son, he hewed to the line of his job - heWed to it more deftly, more courte- 0usly, but as honestly and undeviatingly as Mr. Henderson did.

General La Guardia

The Senate opposition which persuad- ed President Roosevelt not to nominate New York's Mayor LaGuardia for a brigadier-generalship is healthy thing, It shows an awakening revulSion against political. appointments to high Army rank, and it demonstrates that once more the Constitutional provision re- quiring Senate "advice and consent" to major appointments has come to mean something.
 This has nothing to do with Mir. La Guardia'S merits or demerits for the as yet undisclosed job the President has for him, It refers only to the pleasing indi- cation that democracy still is belligerent.

Mir. Hays Is Heard From

At the nations call for service on all fronts the Moving Picture industry mObiliZed in it's many activities that have aided the war effort. The twenty-first annual report of Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Dis tributors of America, Inc, so states. In ais opening paragraph Mir Hayes says that winning the war, or helping to win the war, was the dominant purpose" of the industry during 1942. It might be added that this purpose continues as 194S advances and help on all fronts at home are necessary.
 It has been many year since pictures and you might say all entertainment have been so largely attended. While this is good financial break for the industries 1t reacts also on civilian morale. The war pictures are many The newsreels and shorts are indicative on what goes on at home and in all theaterS of the war. Actual pictures are taken in for eign lands and spectacular scenes of action reproduced on the screen. The results which come to us on our local screens are pretty exciting; perhaps too exciting at times, but no more so to us than to those who are experiencing those things that are depicted for us occupying COLl1VAVdDic oSdI III OuA SOliHlluAlICy theater.
 Many topnotch pictures have come to us during the last twelve-month period That's good picture, you often hear it remarked. It is seldom that our imag nations go beyond the clevernesS of the producer and the fine acting of the actors. The cameraman has done his good job, too, in shooting scenes in dan ger zones Of these MT. Hays says: Perhaps among all the heroic sacrifices of the conflict none is more outstanding than the courage shown by newsreel cameramen in the areas of combat. Many of these men have sacrificed their lives and died with their cameras in hand" The moving pictures keep us in touch, and they with the newspapers and the radio try to give an accurate picture of the war in all it's aspects.

Press Comment
MORE AND MORE HIGHWAY
 SAFETY
(New Haven Journal-Couricr)

(NeW Haven Journal-Cour1er)
 Behind Connecticut's first.place ranking in the Eastern division of the National Traffic Safety contest as just announced, lie year-long ef- forts in enforcement, engineering and education. While the Highway Safety commission of the state stands at the top of those promot- ing the safety campaign of the state, the activities Of every muni- cipal police force, of state and city engineers and of school safety pro- grams all helped.
 Those who have worked for this top record among eastern states for 1922 know that there is no mystery about highway safety. It is the re- suit of planning on the one hand and of observance and enforcement on the other. It is something that every state and city can have if 1t wants it badly enough.
 Since Connecticut has received an influx of war workers, there is a tendency to feel that violations of traffic safety should be overlooked in the interest of war. Nothing could be more unwiSe. Because accidents waste tires, cars. medical services. working hours and even lives, their controls is more imperative today than in normal times.
 With so many fewer cars on the road. the accident rate, though lower. hasn't dropped as much as it should. WIPE Nelson says that speeds are squirting above 35 miles too much now. The campaign even in Connecticut is far from won.

Out of the Frying Pan

For the first time since war production began rolling, we have an adequate sup ply of steel for ships, tanks and other weapons Steel no longer is the bottle neck behind the most serious of all bat tlenecks that is shipping.
 We have left the hot frying pan and are falling into an equally uncomfortable fire. High labor turnover has caused labor deficit of 10000 workers in the shipbuilding industry, which is threaten ing attainment of our expanded goals.
 This is serious. The Nazis are stepping up their U-boat campaign faster than the public has yet been informed. The deficit has not yet been reflected in pro- duction figures, but will be soon unless it is overcome.

The cash and carry system now operat- ed in most of the city's mercantile es- tablishmentS has resulted in saving of gasoline and rubber, it is reported. This is true in other cities as well. It is true this lack of delivery of goods has proven distinct hardship but like everything else one gets used to it. Those that have to haul home big packages are the ones to feel sorry for. Those with cars and who have sufficient gas to travel back and forth each day to business and other duties plan ahead, and weekend buying, espe- cially, is very heavy. Most shoppers buy for several days. The deliveries are missed but it is the general feeling that we are fortunate that there is still Suf- ficient food to transport home.

Laundries and dry cleaning establish mentS have been declared essential l1l- duStries" in our city which is encourag- ing to those businesses which have been feeling the shortage of manpower very keenly. The general public who have to depend on the laundrieS and cleaning places for their daily laundry needs also feel little less washed-up with the an nouncement. All told it was an agreeable announcement in the community, and with that matter satisfactorily ironed out we can hope for better service from these establishments and the establishments themselves can operate as they should.

RusNANS HOLIDAY

The great increase in the mall is evidently due chiefly to the de- partlrre of % many doctors from practice to enter military eervice. Even though . good many excellent physicians are still available in most communities, 1t seems as hard as ever for people who have learned to depend on Q regular or family physician to make the first contact with Q new physician-if the need is not too serious they readily, try writing to me instead.
 This has cut into my bowling to Q dangerous extent. When ! cay bowling I mean bowling, not ten. pins: bowling on the green, the ancient outdoor game of lawn bowls. I tell you health writer needs some diversion to keep him from going of his nut trying to help SO many people with their per. sonai problems. know of no di- version where fellow can so com pletley lose himself (and maybe Q nickle or dime to boot for two or three hours aS in Q game of lawn bowls.
 Then by way of busman's holiday I carry on Q pleasant correspond ence with congenial souls who gen- erally have something interesting or instructive to tell. me.
 For example, here is Q paragraph in a letter from medical colleague who practices in Q metropolitan area:
 Nothing particularly exciting in the daily dozen. Most outstanding recent case was that of Q man S6 who developed manic depreSsive psychosis rather suddenly. Six months out of business, three months in a sanitariun, an utterly useless mass of meat, pain and Q torment to his relatives and . bur. den to himself. Just four met- razol shock treatments put him right back in the running. He told me he came to- in the hospital, and the previous six months were q complete blank to him-he wanted to know why he was shackled, why this and why that, was amazed ae the date. His family was delighted, his wife in tears-her gratitude was an ordeal in itslef. The patient went home today fully recovered ard ready to carry or. I think thet shock treatment is unquestionably one Of the greatest advances Of medicine. It Is odd-I'm not partic- ularly interested in 1t but get a case every now and then-uSually referred by some one at the hos- pital."
 There's a whole story packed into a paragraph. I am not competent to give any information concerning the metrazol shock treatment. All I know about it is what I read in my medical colleagues letter. Psy- clliatrists (physicians who special lize in mental disorders) everywhere know about 1t.

Selected Poem
SPRING RIDES WEST

(Clin Walters in the New York Times) The song of meadow larks. that trst gray pair To brave the fading chill of gulch-veined lands. Is lyric sweetness spiling through the air An old roan mustang, hunger gaunt, that stands And paws with ul.shod, broken hoofs for feed' Lifts shaggy head and listens to those rils Which herald coming Spring, and days when seed Of wind-sown grass shall green these empty hills. A cowboy trails across an open hat
 No longer does he hunch against the Sting Of Winters windy whips. With upped-back hat And open coat and smile he watches Spring Ride west again to wake the range from sleep; To kndIe blossom flames along the draws Where sagging mounds of snow like dying sheep' Go down beneath the touch of April thaws.

One night while visiting with Argentine busiessmen Johnston announced that the next day he would call at labor union head quarters. explaining that he was anxious to understand not only Ar genuine business sentiment, but also labor. A few minutes later, an Argentine manufacturer came up and said:
 "YOu are a brave man, MT. Johnston. q very brave man."
 "Why?"
 For calling upon those la bOr leaders. You are very re- markable."
 Next day Johnston made the call, armed with letters from Bill Green and Phtl Murray, who vouched for the fact that he would keep labor condolences. It turned out to be quite an oc- casion, featured by good Argen- tine beefsteak ad champagne.
 Later the head of the Argen- tine rail union wrote to Jim Carey of the CIO a glowing report of the visit, hoped that more U. s. business men would follow John ston's example.
 Johnston also called upon the Argentine Cardinal. At first a bit suspicious, he finally warmed LID, became most cordial and gave Johnston letters of introduction to leading clerics in other coun- tries.
 The Cardinals chief complaint was that the United States seemed to have communistic tendencies.
 "My answer to that" said Johnston, Sis the answer given me by a representative of Am- torg. the Russian trading com pany, who said, How can you have communism in a country where every capitalist is once removed from the proletariat, and where every proletarian has ambitions to become capita list'?"
