r. tremely attractive woman
- of 80. Betty is one of those
pretty, friendly, intelligent girls
whose husband wins from all
other men the involuntary trib-
ute of Lucky Bob!" She seemed
to have too much charm, spirit,
beauty, capability to be sunk out
of sight in one mans nursery
and kitchen, but that's what hap
pened to her. She married Bob
Ellis, salesman in a big motor
parts industry, she had daugh-
ter and then a son; she loved
home, children, garden, cook
ing, books, radio, club, market
ing, and she loved Bob, like the
fine, normal, typical young
American woman she was.
Then came the war. Bob's moth
er was living with them now, her
self fine housewife and devoted
grandmother. Betty and old Mrs.
Ellis like and understand each 9TH
er; when Betty had a chance at
good job in a munitions plant it
was her handsome, efficient 54-year-
old mother-in-law who advised her
to take it. Betty made more money
than Bob did, from the first.
And how she enjoys it! Dressing
comfortably in shirts and slacks,
her hair cut short, her shoes low
heeled, she goes off gaily in the
morning with her lunch box. At
noon she and her fellow-workers
make themselves a cup of coffee;
gradually some of the men have
joined them, contributing their own
supplies, and now Betty is queen
of an adoring circle that meets daily.
Betty Enjoys Freedom.
In Bstty's case all this has gone
to her head. For ten years her
interests have been centered in
kitchen, babies and husband. Now
she is free. Free morally, for Bob
can't check on what she is doing
and nobody else has any right to;
free financially, for she can spend
more money on her clothes nova
days than she used to have for all
household expenses combined.
It is Betty's husband who writes
me about it.
about four months ago there was
a great change in her." says Bob's
letter. "All winter long she had
been coming home too tired to do
more than just kiss me and the
children, eat her dinner listening to
the rest of us talking, and tumble
into bed. But last spring she seemed
to come to life. Once or twice she
was late; she called it working
overtime, but she wasn't at work.
She changed her clothes at a
friends apartment and went out to
dinner and dance. This happened
three times before I caught on.
''We'd been putting most of her
earnings into bonds, but she stopped
that; she had gotten herself a fur
coat in March. She said it cost
two hundred, but my mother said
It was worth at least a thousand.
But I didn't really suspect any,
thing until I heard that Betty was
out dining and dancing, after which
il took very little evidence to con-
vince me that she had a lover; a
rich young fellow some years young

plant. When I questioned her, try

PATERSON
PRACTICAL LESSON
ON INITIATION
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

ON INITIATION
WHEN YOU BUY a $100 war
bond, you dig down into the old sock
and produce cash that is in exist
ence, cash for which you have
worked and which you have earned.
When the bond issue is fioated
through the banks, it is a different
story.
The bank is told to take million
dollars worth of war bonds. 1t does
that by placing on its books mil
lion dollars to the credit of the gov
ernment. For that the bank re-
ceives a million dollars in bonds.
With these bonds as security, it is
sues a million dollars in new money.
With the issuing of every million
dollars of new money, we have add
ed to the inflationary spiral. That
spiral is spring enclosed in a box.
When the tension becomes too great,
it will burst the lid off the box and
out will spring the snake of extreme
and uncontrolled initiation.
Remember a toy of childhood days
"a snake in a box which jumped
at you when you unfastened the lid?
That was a harmless snake made Of
cloth. 1t did not, and could not bite.
The snake that government financ-
ing through bank loans, or bank
credits, has cooped up in the infia-
ton box is not harmless. Should it
break the fastening, it can, and will,
bite. It's venom will poison all values
and reduce us to nation of paupers.
When the people, rather than the
banks, buy the bonds, there is no
danger of imitation. In that way we
can enjoy and retain our prosperity.

INITIATION REMEDY

The President has a nominations
ary solution to organized labor's de-
mandS for wage increases to meet
higher living costs: namely, non
negotiable bonds, payable after the
war.
Roosevelt revealed this secret
during a confidential talk with R. J.
Thomas, president of the United
Auto Workers union, on price roll
backs, strikes and the War Labor
boards Little Steel formula. Here
is the summary of his views:
Prices. Roosevelt stated that he
would make vigorous attempt to
roll back prices. He told Thomas
that he would prefer that congress
provide the money, but that, fall
ing this, he would use either RFC
or Commodity Credit corporation
funds to restore the following food
prices to their September, 1912, nor
NAL: Meat, canned goods, potatoes,
milk and milk products.
1t would be too difficult, the Presi-
dent said, to attempt rollback Of
clothing and personal services. He
pointed out that rents already have
been rolled back to March, 1871.
Little Steel Formula. Roosevelt
frankly stated that he was not en-
thusiastic about any arbitrary cell
ing on wages-15 per cent above
those prevailing in January, 1941.
However, he considered the Little
Steel formula the best brake on wage
initiation so far proposed.
Instead, the President suggested
that war workers would be much
better off, and that the present wage
stalemate between labor unions and
the WLB could be broken, if work.
men agreed to accept non-negotiable
bonds, payable after the war, in lieu
of wage increases.

INSIDE EUROPE

Swiss Minister Charles Brugg-
mann, brother-in-law of Henry Wal
lace, is probably the only man in
the United States who has recently
passed through Germany.
He not only visited Germany, but
also France and Spain. In France
he found the people downcast and
downhearted. German soldiers on
the streets of Paris went out of their
way to be polite to the French peo-
pie, even got off the sidewalks if
necessary in Difference to French
man.
In Germany the women wore
black, but no smiles. Many Ger
mans, Minister Bruggmann found,
would rather submit to a British
American occupation than one by
the Russians. Higher-class Germans
fear the Russians tremendously. On
the other hand, it is suspected in
some quarters that certain German
groups might make deal with the
Russians to run Europe together.
There is more food in Germany,
Minister Bruggmann found, than In
France. In Paris he paid $40 for a
meal for two people, and not an
elaborate meal at that.

DAY VS.. NIGHT BOMBING

When Churchill and Roosevelt
were in Casablanca, the British
prime minister had friendly argu-
ment with U. S. air generals regard
ing the feasibility of daylight bomb
ing. Churchill was against it, argu-
ing that the British system of night
bombing was much safer, did more
damage to the enemy.
However, latest figures just re-
ceived by the war department show
that Gen. Ira Eaker was right In
sticking to day bombing. These fig
ures show that U. S. bombers have
knocked out Nazi fighter planes at a
rate ten times greater than the
British.
Here are the figures: In July U. S.
airmen destroyed 500 Axis planes,
lost 108 bombers of their own. In
other words we knocked out five
times as many planes as we lost.
In the same months, the British
knocked out 129 enemy planes, but
lost 258 of their own. In other
words, the British lost two planes for
every one they knocked out.
The British were operating at
night when they could not see the
enemy so well, but also when the
enemy could not see them. Ameri-
can planes, operating in the day
light, could better concentrate on en-
emy fighter planes, but also were
better targets for the enemy.

ISOLATIONIST CUPID


The nuptial rumor that the Chi
cago Tribune's Col. Robert r. Nc
Cormick was going to wed Mrs.
Helen Essary, widow of the Balti-
more Sun correspondent, was told
to the President recently by one or
his aides.
Both Colonel Mccormick and Mrs.
Essary are ardent isolationists and
vigorous critics of the administra-
ton. In fact the colonel is consid-
cred the leading isolationist Of the
Midwest, if not the nation, while
the Widow Essary, writing in the
Washington Times-Herald, is prob
ably the leading lady isolationist In
the nations capital.
So the President received word of
this isolationist romance with con-
siderable interest.

their progeny will be like"
Note-Later, Mrs. Essary heard
about the Presidents remark and
telephoned one of the White House
aides to find out precisely what had
been said. She did not comment as
to whether the rumor of matrimony
were true or untrue, but she showed
great feminine curiosity regarding
the Presidents comment.

No|en Tells Of Move
For Law 10 RedeveIop
Decadent D. T.. Areas
Federal Architects Hear
Of PIons to Build Up
East Capitol Street

The future growth of Washington,
with emphasis on development east
of the Capitol, was outlined by John
Nolen, jr., director Of planning for
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, at meeting of
the Association of Federal Architects
last night.
Mr.. Nolen revealed that legislation
was being prepared to permit public
authorities to acquire land in
decadent areas. This legislation, he
said. would be used in plans to re-
develop such areas 'in accordance
with uses for which they are best
adapted"
He said several States already
have passed urban redevelopment
legislation, designed to permit the
sssemblage of land In older areas
for redevelopment by public and pri-
vate enterprise under control and
planning.
Cultural Buildings Planned.
In the development of East Cap
itol street, between B street Sc and
B street NE, Mr.. Nolen said Office
buildings would be interspersed
with museums, art galleries, audi
toriums and similar buildings. One
Of the first group of buildings to be
agreed on, he said, was the construc-
ton Of an Army medical museum
and library.
Pointing out that the population
of q city has always grown perma-
nently as a result of war activity,
Mr.. Nolen said it would be neces-
sary to make careful plans for hous-
ing these new employees, and for
school, park and recreational facili.
ties.
ut is concentration of Govern
ment employees that produces the
public transportation problem, he
declared, adding that if it had not
been for the gasoline shortage, the
traffic and parking problem in the
downtown area would have created
an "intolerable situation" He re-
jected the idea Of subways as too
expensive, suggesting instead that
we should spread the population
Sees Bridges as Needed.
In the postwar period, the plan
ming executive pictured the poSsibil-
ity Of dual road for Fort drive,
which would connect the 16 civil
war forts around the city and con-
meet all high land around the
periphery. Unless a South Capitol
street bridge were built after the war.
he predicted that existing bridges
would be badly overcrowded.
Another major highway and park
project outlined by Mr.. Nolen was
the George Washington Memorial
Parkway to Great Falls.

building will create a postwar
traffic problem, Mr. NoIen declared.
He pointed out that before the gase-
line restrictions, Highway Bridge WIS
capacity and Memorial Bridge was
near capacity. With the population
In nearby Virginia greatly increased,
he said the obvious" answer was the
construction of bridge at Alexan-
dria.
