lobbying hermit of Arbor Villa
is on his way to Washington
again.
Calling himself a one-man
pressure group for a silver-and-
gold currency standard, Frank
E. Gimlet, whiskered 78-year-
old prospector who wears 25-
year-old boots, said he made
four such trips in 194l.
He doesn't give up easily, al
though:
Fifty years ago William Jen-

Edgar Bocock, superintendent of the
hospital, said they saw the food
In the process of preparation, serv-
ing and consumption.
Asked about the food, Senator
Holman said:
You know how 1t is. Some people
like the food and others do not.
and today We found some who
thought it good and others who
were not satisfied with it,"
The Senator said it was obvious
that many patients had been cook
ing IN their rooms, using small elec-
trlcal devices to warm the food
Despite the scarcity of food, how
ever, the Senator said, he was in
terested in the number of plates
returned to the kitchen untouched
or with the food only partially con-
sumed.
DIR. BOcock Shows Pigs.
DR.. Bocock met the Senators after
tney had been through the building
and drove them to the pig lot, To-
Gated near the river about 1000
yards from the hospital. He ex-
planned that it was decided to raise
hogs to utilize waste from the hos
pital kitchen. The lot, he said. had
been maintained for about IA years
and was constructed entirely from
salvage material.
Senator Holman argued about
the size of the hospitals husky
looking Duroc-Jersey hogs with
Waldo A. Kuhn, superintendent of
grounds and buildings, who Is in
charge of the lot, saying they we're
too large.
Don't you know that hogs over
400 pounds are too heavy?" asked
the Senator. who owns some Ches-
ter-Whites himself.
Mr.. Kuhn, who said he had man.
aged a 3,000-acre farm at one time,
explained the system for breeding
and butchering the animals and de-
Tended the manner in which the
lot has been conducted He agreed
with the Senator that 200 pounds
was the ideal for butchering grain
fed hogs, but argued that the Gal
linger system was suitable for the
hogs which are fed kitchen waste
exclusively. ,
Purpose to Help.
Senator Holman declared the pur-
pose of his visit was not to find
fault with things but to help get
them running on a basis satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned.
Chairman McCarran asked the
three Commissioners to furnish in
formation within 36 hours on details
of inspections or investigations made
at their request at Gallinger since
January /, 1912, and copies of any
reports made to the Commissioners
as result of these inspections.
Senator Holman, meanwhile
asked the Commissioners to supply
"at your earliest possible conven-
ience" information on the following
The number and frequency of
their personal visits to Gallinger
with an outline of their methods of
inspection: their observations as a
result of these inspections; the gist
of any recommendations they have
made for improvement of conditions
at Gallinger; their opinions on how
effective the recommendations have
been; any present recommendations
they may wish to make on conditions
at Gallinger and statement OF
their views on the improvement OF
conditions, reforms in hospital ad-
ministration and provision Of addi-
tional facilities.

WPB Bans Contracts
In 50 Areas Of Acute
Manpower Shortage
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new drastic policy of banning
additional war contracts in areas
of acute labor shortages was put
into effect today by Chairman Don
aid M. Nelson of the War Produc-
ton Board.
Mr.. Nelson forbade placing of
contracts in SO so-called areas of
acute labor shortage" if it is posi-
BILE to meet military timetables by
filling them elsewhere.
Further, MI. Nelson directed that
mo contract requiring increase of
employment shall be placed in the
West Coast region or any other re-
glon to which a program similar
to the West Coast manpower pro-
gram may hereafter be applied,
without prior approval by Mr.. Nell
son or an official designated by him.
Connecticut Problem Grave.
At the same time Central Con-
necticut's growing manpower prob
lem reached such a critical stage
that Regional War Manpower Di-
rector William J. Fitzgerald ordered
sll new war contracts stopped in
Hartford. New Britain, Meriden,
Bristol and Waterbury.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said the Con-
necticut regulation differed from
the West Coast situation in that
1t applies only to manufacturing
plants. He said the labor shortage
in Connecticut was more than $4,000
workers and growing daily.
The District was in the revised
VINO list of acute labor shortage
areas, along with several other
Maryland and Virginia cities in re-
gion 4: Baltimore, Elkton, Md:
Hampton Roads and Petersburg, Va.
The new overall contract-place-
ment policy rating manpower sec
ond only to the timeliness of de-
livery of war materials, was laid
down in a complete revision of
WPB's procurement policy direc-
tive, which controls procurement
officials of the Army, Navy and all
OUIieI WdI cSGIlClGS
LAS insufficient manpower is hurt
Ing production, procurement agen-
cies are directed not to place con-
tracts in areas of acute labor short
age Qisted September u, notwith-
standing the existence of facilities
capable Of doing the job, whenever
1t is practical to place the contract
elsewhere said Tudor Bowen, di-
rector of WPB's procurement pol
icy division
Will Free Some Labor.
THE same reasoning is applied
In reverse to cutbacks in the war
program. Whenever demand for
an item diminishes contracts will
be terminated IN labor shortage
areas before other areas, thus re-
leasing labor for more important
jobs in the places where most
needed"
Previously the existence of plants
and equipment in a city outweighed
possible manpower shortages in de-
termining where contracts should 20.
accomplishing that Government
agencies should place contracts by
negotiation, WPB stressed that ne
gotiation should be so employed as
to make possible maximum ef-
ficiency in the use of overall ma
tonal resources, including man
power, materials and money, as we'll
as individual plant capacity"
In this connection payment of
a reasonable premium to small
plants is authorized where such
plants have higher unit costs"

BY the Associated Pre- IS

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board tWPB)
today moved to correct IAN acute
shortage" of sole leather for civilian
shoe repairs by ordering Is large
leather cutting firms to divert SUBJ
stantial portions of their output

unfounded, emphasize the need
for speed in the formulation
of definite governmental plans

from the last war, when the 1913
srmistice, coming months before

President, the Congress and all
the war agencies entirely UMPIRE

Contemporary accounts of the

TREND OF THE TINES
Today. all this reads like

same forces that shaped the
course OF events in 1918 are
shaping up now. If there is any
moral in this potential repetition
of history, it should be found in
the record of what happened af-

initiation and then the costly de-

Fortunately, something does
seem to have been learned from
this sad experience. Whereas, in

President Wilson was counscling
against any too definite post
