throw out this factor of unavoid- able deadwood, and still claim a lot of government nests have been made downy for pals of the big shots. Some executives say the objectors have adopted a practice which is known in WIPE and OPA corridors as "layering in" favored subordinates.
 How 1t Works
 Here is how it works. Say six branch directors, call them l-6 inclusive report to Deputy Di- doctor A. a subordinate of Direc- tor B. In some policy shake-up Director 2 takes over for Director B. Director 2 then layers in" some associate directors between Deputy Director A and Branch Directors l-6, Associate Directors x and Y get the reports from 1-6, and not infrequently make it so tough for l-6 that they resign. Likewise, Deputy Director A. short circuited and largely deprived of authority, takes a polite powder Director E. then sees to 1t that the executives he layers in" are his own friends, as l-6 and A were friends of Director B.
 Personal Patronage"
 Congressional critics of the per sonal patronage" of war agency chiefs admit that in many instanc- es the cousins" have done an able executive job after their appoint ments. However, they blame much of the confusion and inefficiency that has come to light in rationing and allocations programs generally on inter-clique jeal0lsies. There has been the complaint that places have been found for bright young men with the right connections but little experience
 At any rate, the gentleman from Georgia is on the trail of these and other employment practices in the war agencies. The promised investigation may do lot to air situation that has long been a Washington gossip item but never has come in the open since the wa1N effort was organized.

right here in Juneau to be used only for the care and hospitaliza- tion of crippled children. Most of the cases of this nature are sent to the Childrens Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle because Alaska facilities to give the specialized treatment required are very small.
 In addition, the Federal Govern ment will contribute to the Territory one dollar for every dollar that is raised locally for the same purpose, doubling the effectiveness of the campaign.
 Said Heintzleman in announcing the start of the drive, T believe that everyone is sympathetic to the cause of the campaign. Juneau and our surrounding towns have an un- usually large number of cases of crippled children who need this specialized treatment that the money we raise will buy, and they need it immediately.
 Worthy Project
 ITO supply funds which will give unfortunate children who have be- come despairing victims of crippling diseases a chance to recover and once again lead a normal, joyful life is certainly the most worthy of any community humanitarian proj- ect-one in which every person will want to do his share.

Cruiser Named Norfolk
After Bond Buying Drive

BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK. Va. July 20.-Norfolk
is the name of a new light cruiser.
Ofhcial notice to this effect was
received here yesterday from the
office of Secretary of the Navy
Knox.
In a letter to Frank E. Turin
general chairman of the Norfolk
Cruiser Fund Bond Committee
Secretary Knox said:
Now that you have been success
full in raising the funds for a cruiser
to be named the USS Norfolk. i
have definitely and formally as
signed the name Norfolk to a light
cruiser now building at the Newport
News yards at Newport News, Va.
Il assume that you would prefer
to have ship which bore the name
Norfolk built in the Norfolk area.
and that is why I have selected this
particular ship.
Yours sincerely,
FRANK KNOX"
Mr.. Turin said nearly 5000 900
worth of bonds had been sold.

Fort Collins, Col: Our bombs hit
squarely in the middle of the target
and fires ranging from 100 to 200
feet high caused smoke to rise to
5000 feet"
An unusual number of photog-
raphers were carried, with orders to
get pictures from all possible angles
to afford evidence that sacred places
were carefully avoided. 1t was the
biggest and most delicate mission
yet undertaken by United States
forces.
The attack was planned for days
In the most minute detail The final
word was given only after midnight
when weather officials were assured
there was perfect visibility above
the city. Maps Of Rome were pre-
pared weeks in advance, with the
Vatican on the west and holy spots
marked SO clearly that chances of
bombs falling within blocks of sacred
places were reduced to minimum.
No Green Men Used.
Every precaution was taken to
smash only military objectives. Ac-
tual residential areas of the Holy
City were untouched. Pilots and
bombadiers were drilled intensely.
No green hands were used on the
job. and the possible world repercus-
sions of any error was stressed on
the men.
This medium bomber base, whose
craft shouldered the bulk Of the job,
showed strange tenseness before
