INVESTMENT FOR The FUTURE

Of. NJ Hamilton, in Des Moines Register)
l have noticed how various publicity
agencies have sponsored the collection
of donations from the public to provide
free smokes for men in the armed SER
vices. l have noted that publicity has
been given this project by various radio
stations, newspapers, and other publici-
ty agencies -.
How we'll must the tobacco companies
like this type of recognition of the pub
lie, that something nice should be done
for our boys in the armed services! The
big tobacco companies, in their big chain
radio programs, play up prominently
the vast number of cigarettes they send
to the armed forces free.
The public doesn't realize that the to-
bacco companies are looking beyond the
end of the war when the boys, who were
total abstainers from tobacco when they
entered the armed services, will return
to civilian life with the cigarette habit
firmly fastened upon them.
If the tobacco companies can make
one of those boys cigarette addict, he
will be a potential tobacco patron the
rest of his life

WE WANT TO KNOW

We do not know exactly what is the
inside story behind the alleged liquor
shortage. We hope that some OF the IN
vestigations now under way and pro-
iected will bring out the pertinent facts.
Because, in offset to what we DO not
know, there is this that we 40 know;
Whoever or whatever is behind the liquor
situation is playing squarely into the
hands of the Prohibitionists, and could
easily bring back the conditions from
which repeal delivered the United States.
And that we must not have.

OR TEA, EVEN

Ernie Pyle, ION furlough' from war
reporting, feels that scarcities on the
home front don't seem important after
what he has seen on the battle fronts.
He couldn't buy satisfactory tea strain
er, but he asks: did you ever hear of
anybody dying for lack of tea strain
err"
The answer is no. We never even
heard of anybody dying for lack of tea.
In fact, up to now we have never heard
of anybody suffering more than petty
inconvenience for lack of anything that
has become unavailable in this country.
There are going to be more shortages,
and they will be annoying. But suffer-
ing? Nobody on the home front knows
what suffering means, except those whose
loved ones will never come back from
the battle fronts.

UnfuvorubIe Publicity on
D. c. Living Conditions
Blamed in Job Situation

Expressing the view that unfavor-
able publicity about living conditions
was partly responsible for the high
percentage of refusals Of Federfl
jobs in Washington by Civil Service
eligibles, DR.. Henry Hubbard of the
Federal Council of Personnel Ad-
ministration last night urged that
special consideration be given to
the hospitality needs of civilian war
workers in the District.
In report to the War Hospitality
Committee, Civilian Mobilization
Division, at It's monthly dinner meet
ing at the Labor Department, he
emphasized the need for co-opera-
ton between Federal officials and
community and local agencies in
formulating hospitality program
for civilian war workers coming to
the Capital, as one means of re-
ducing the excessive personnel turn
over in the war agencies in WASH
ington.
Sees Morale Handicap.
Miss Ruth Maier of New York, of
the public relations staff of a soft
drink bottling concern also pointed
out that unfavorable publicity about
conditions in Washington might
have bad effect on the morale of
civilian workers, and suggested that
an effort be made to combat "the
bad impression" of Washington that
prevails in other parts of the coun-
try.
Miss Maier. who is making sur
vey of the activities of the War Hos
pitality Committee, said it needed
the addition to its staff of trained

The resignation of Charles E.
Wilson, executive vice chairman
of the War Production Board, has
been accepted by Chairman DON

The resignation, not officially con-
firmed. probably will become effec-

as continued rise in aircraft pro-
duction establishes that October's 9
per cent gain was not a production

Although Mr.. Wilson-who has
been the virtual general manager
of WPB since last February-denied
last week that he contemplated leav-
ing. his associates said he had re-
quested some time ago to be relieved
to return to General Electric Co
He was G. E.'s president before Mr.

Mr.. Wilson has succeeded in break
ing the production bottlenecks which
he was brought in to crack, respon-

Mr.. Wilson's job, while continuing
his present duties.
