DEMOBlLiziNG INDUSTRY
Clos Angeles Times)

Clos Angeles Times)
Though it only relatively short time
since Bernard M. Baruchs undeniable
talents We're obtained for the job of
organizing the postwar demobilization of
industry, he has already gone far enough
into the subject to discover that it is
whale of a job, if he didn't know that
when he took it over. Baruch expresses
the opinion that it will be much more
difficult to get industry back to normal
Or rather to establish a new plane OF
normality for peacetime functions-than
it was to convert it to making the mate
rials of war.
This seems to be the general opinion.
A committee of industrialists had been
working on the problem some time be-
fore the Baruch appointment and already
has recommended what it believes should
be national policy in the settlement of
terminated war contracts and is making
a further study of other phases of the
matter.
The committee, headed by Ralph E.
Flanders, president of the Jones & Lam
son Machine Co., has as members Chester
C. Davis, resigned food administrator
and st. Louis banker; William L. Bait
of ski. industries and vice-chairman of
Iuc w di IouuCIlOI Dual VI w lilldlll oCll-
ton; S. Bayard Colgate, soap manufac-
turer; Donald David, dean of the Har-
ward Graduate School of Business Ad-
ministration; Max Epstein, Chicago tran
sportation man; Paul G. Hoffman, of
Studebaker; President Eric A. Johnston
of the United States Chamber of Com
merce; Thomas w. Lamont of J. P. Nor
gan & Co. and Beardsley Ruml, treasur-
er of Macy's and chairman of the FEEDER
al Reserve Bank of New York DR.. Theo-
dore 0. Yntema, economics professor of
the University of Chicago, is research
director.
That Mr. Baruch should be able to
work with this committee and the COM
mittee with him and with the War Pro-
duction Board-Mr. Baruch thinks the
board which scrambled the eggs should
unscramble them-seems obvious. 1t looks
like good setup.

EXAMPLE OF OpA
ECOLISHNESS
(Santa Ana Register)

(Santa Ana Register)
A fine example of the red tape that
binds the OPA was reclted recently by
a Santa Ana business man.
According to his story, there is class
at Caltech studying something having to
do with aviation dynamics. To bring the
theory into actual practice, it was de-
cided that the best thing to do would be
to send the class to an aviation plant
from the Pasadena institution. SO re-
quest for bus to transfer the class was
submitted to the OPA.
Nothing doing, the OPA said.
Then one of the brighter brains of the
OPA discovered that there would be no
violation of OPA regulations If the class
were dismissed and the students sent to
their homes. Then, under OPA rules
school bus could be employed to go to
the various homes for the students, pick
them up, take them to the aviation plant
and return them to their homes.
This would, of course involve consider
ably more driving than making the trip
direct from the classroom to the plant
and return. More gasoline would be need
ed and more rubber would be worn off
the tires. But no OPA regulations would
be broken.
That seems to be the rule of thumb
do anything, regardless of how foolish 1T
seems, just so it doesn't violate an OPA

BowIes Sounds
New Warning
On Gas Dearth

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is (UP) =
New cuts in civilian allotments of
gasoline, with possible tightening up
of rations, were foreseen Wednes-
day following a warning by Price
Administrator Chester Bowles that
civilian supplies are critically
short"
BoWles declared in his weekly
radio broadcast Tuesday night that
the demands on existing supplies
were becoming constantly greater
More than three out of every 10
gallons produced east of the Rocky
mountains goes to our armed
forces" he said. This may be in
creased to four out of every ten
gallons"
ON PACIFIC COAST
Already four out of every 10
gallons produced on the Pacific
coast is going to war. AS soon as
the offensive against Japan is in
creased in scope and intensity, it
will take half of all the west coast
gas"
Thus it appeared Bowles was
warning of a possible IA to Is per
cent cut in civilian gas east of the
Rockies and II per cent cut on
the west coast. '-.
Previously, when civilian allot-
mentS have been curtailed, rationS
have been cut to conform to the de-
creased supplies. This led to the
possibility that new ration cuts were
in prospect. Further cuts in West
Coast rations have been prophesied
in the past by the agencies in
volved in the oil supply.
These cuts, it had been said
would take place as the gathering
Pacific offensive drained more ano
more west coast oil. Secretary OF
the Navy Frank Knox's statement
Tuesday that big new blows were
impending against Japan seemed tC
move up the time for stricter west
coast rationing.
BLACK MARKETS
Bowles, in his speech Tuesday
night, warned that black markets
were growing into big rackets thai
must be "snuffed out" if the critic
ally short civilian supplies were tc
be protected.
He said few people realized tht
"stupendous" military demands fol
gasoline, and declared the response.

Rome. More than $500 years have
rolled by since 1t first became a
center of life.
About 200 years ago, the city
was captured by an Army OF Tar
tars and later it fell into. the hands
Of the Mongols. The two most
famous OF the Mongol rulers were
Jenghiz Khan and his grandson,
Kublai Khan. .s.--.
Kublai Kahn was on the throne
when Marco Polo made his trim
into eastern Asia. He visited the
palace of the khan. and became an
ofhcer of the government.
Before Columbus sailed across the
Atlantic, the Mongols lost their
power Chinese armies defeated
them in Battle, and a Chinese En-
peror took over the city. He seems
to have been the first to, call the
place "Peking" The name means
Northern Capital"
The Chinese held control OF Pc
king until the Manchus invaded
their country. The Manchus be-
came masters of the empire in
1643, just three centuries ago. Their
Emperors used Peking as their capi-
tai until the present century,.
From that long and chahging
history, We might expect the city
to show signs Of the past--snd It
does. One part Of it Is known as
the Tartar City" and there are
great walls around it.
The walls of the Tartar city are
20 feet high and are wide enough
for four automobiles to pass along
the top. They are made OF bricks,
stone and earth and are cut by nine
gateways. There are other walls
with a height of from 80 to so feet.
A different section of Peking, or
Peiping, is called the "Forbidden
City" In this part the Manchu
Emperors had their palaces. The
common people were forbidden to
enter the area, and few white per-
sons saw 1t until after the year
1900.

FLYING FOX

fPteropus poliocephalnsj.
Australia's flying foxes, or fruit
bats, prefer to reside in dense areas
OF bush, usually young trees. These
mammals destroy valuable orchards,
and fruit growers find they must
take drastic steps to protect their
property. Flying foxes, so called
because their face is quite similar
in expression to that OF our we'll
known fox, are really fruit consum-
ers on large scale.
They always fly singly in long
files. Their flight is 4 slow Mapping,
methodical movement that varies
little as the long line stretches across
the sky. The fruit bat has a wing
expanse of about four feet from tip
to tip. When disturbed, 1t utters a
strange cackling sound. When the
volume Is strengthened by hundreds
OF voices, there Is a din.
These flyers do not wait until
darkness arrives, but 60 forth in the
bright sunlight to visit the bright
flowers where many insects are sip
ping nectar. Bright red blossoms Of
some OF the indigenous tees are
greatly enjoyed by the bats, and
flowers form an important item Of
their diet.
The silky fur of the bats picks up
pollen which they leave with other
flowers they visit. In this way, the
bat Is a partner and pays for its
share in the business, as do the
insects.
Flying foxes belong to the group
Of the largest bats. They are OF

numbers in the warmer regions. AS
q group, they are characterized by
their large size and by the peculiar
nature Of their, teeth. The molars
have smooth crowns, elongated from
back to front and divided by a deep
longitudinal groove. This type of
tooth is especially fashioned for
mashing fruit.
The great wings may be distin-
guished at once from those OF all
other bats because they have three
joints, instead of one or two, IN the
index finger. The sides of the pro-
jecting portion OF the ears are
joined at the base so as to make a
complete ring, and they are small
ears when compared to the size Of
the bat. Last but not least in the
distinctive features of these flying
foxes is the tail; If there is one it
Is very short and situated beneath
the membrane between the hind
legs.
Twins are born each year. They
are kept on a milk diet until old
enough to take fruit juice mingled
with flower petals. No wonder the
Chinese called them "fairy rats"
and wove about all bats mysterious
legends.
Flying foxes. as we'll as their cous-
ms, actually fly as do birds. So-
called flying squirrels are gliders.
Bats flap their wings When at rest
these wings are either wrapped
around the body or neatly folded up
so that they lie along the sides of
the body. These bats are harmless.

Left Handed Golfers

In this midsummer season il Is
easy enough to start an argument
Especially camp arguments. The
latest one that has broken out. or
rather has been renewed, is whether
the right handler or the left handler
has better average in sport.
There are more right handlers
than left handlers. SO the former get
the jump when it comes to quantity.
The quality side can stand a brief
debate.
Different games have different an
swers. For example, no left handler
that l can recall has ever won a
National Open or q National Anna
teur golf championship.
There are and have been good
left handed golfers. But no Bobby
Jones, Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen,
Byron Nelson or Ben Hogan.
No one has been able to explain
this peculiar side of golf. II just
happens that way. You would think
that once in while, at least, a left
handed golfer would slip in and nip
off a big title.
1t hasn't happened yet
Baseball is entirely different,
Here the proud southpaw can hold
his own in either hitting or pitching.
Championship tennis has known a
few fine left handlers. Heading the
list is Norman BrooSes of Australia.
Then there was Murray.
Left handlers in tennis neverthe.
less, have had much better aver.
age than left handlers in golf.
In the course Of the last 20 years
or so we have probably heard a
thousand different reasons why left
handlers can't win major champion
ships. Few Of them make any sense.

Critics Answered

Harris has . reputation for being
one Of the most patient managers
baseball has ever known. When the
PhiIlies chose to come to the sup
port of Harris in his war with Cox
II answered the critics who failed or
refused to understand why base
balls wise men regard Bucky as .
good manager. They knew he
wasn't getting q fair shake.
Fred Fitzsimmons, the former
Brooklyn pitcher named to manage
the Phils. is a well liked player, but
his ability as manager is unknown.
Harris proved his capabilities dur
ing 10 years of managing big-league
teams.
FitZsimmOns has two heart-break-
ing jobs ahead Of him, He must try
to suit Cox, who has proved his in
experience, and he must make
something out Of the Philadelphia
club. Either job requires the pa
thence of Job and the wisdom Of
a Solomon.
For a while the Phillies were CIV
ing more than they were able to and
time found them out. They got by
on hustle and near-desperation. That
wore off and they were no longer
able to tear themselves to pieces.
Cox couldn't realize that. He was
wearing rose-colored glasses and be-
lieved there we're no rough spots or
detours on the road to success.
Harris realized-all to well-that the
club had definite limitations. He
knew the day Of miracles had
passed.
Cox, . JOhnny-come-lately, al
lowed himself to be stampeded into
ill-advlsed action. Only time-and
n reasonable amount Of common
sense-can remedy the situation.
Time, in his case, is not the impor-
tant factor.

Unhappy Day!

Then the Phillies lost six in a row
and 10 out Of Is. Newcomer Cox
was distinctly unhappy.
All during the time the Phils were
playing over their heads, Harris,
ever a realist, didn't permit himself
to believe his club was going far
beyond fifth place. He attempted to
tell Cox that he didn't have enough
good ball players. Cox couldn't
believe that.
One Of baseball's most able OBJ
servers, Shirley Povich of the Wash
ington Post, said in a recent column
that Cox was far too devoted to rah-
rah tactics. In part, Povich said:
"Harris discovered that Cox was
calling In players for inspirational
pep talks and invaded the dressing
room ut will. Cox once wanted to
deliver q lecture on the bench, but
Harris talked him out Of 1t. Cox
wasn't doing the team or Harris
any good by sitting in box seat and
hurting insults at the umpires,
either. The man meant well, but
II was no way to run a ball team.
Before the season started, Cox
got some grandiose ideas about his
Phillies. He thought about calling
them the 'Commandos,' a name
that would have made the perennial
last-place club even more ridiculous.
He told Harris that he wanted Com
mando training for the players in the
spring along with their hitting and
fielding practice. Harris didn't like
it."

basis. Harris could not be expected
to take part in his own dismissal.
The disagreement between Cox
and Harris was a long time grow
ing. Cox was a newcomer to the
baseball world. The early success
of the Phillies spoiled him. They
gave him a false slant on his ma
terial and caused him to raise his
financial hopes beyond all reason.
He couldn't understand it when the
team slumped and the crowds fell
off.
When Cox saw his club take six
straight toward the end Of May and
then draw 7,176 at Sunday double
header with the Pirates, it gave him
a tOo-optimistic feeling about the
whole thing.
