He tossed the cigarette he'd just
lighted into a palm tub and turned
back again. His orders were to lay
off, and in the Army orders were
orders. In the newspaper business
an editor might not run a story, but
he never tried to keep you from get

Pete's training and instinct-the old
nose-for-news sort of thing-told him
not to leave, to 60 back and the
hell with G 2.
He went through the lobby out into
the patio. The ocean pounding on
the reef and breaking again on the
rocks just across the balustrade
softened the strident scream of mu-
sic from the bar. The place was
empty except for Taussig and Di-
ego Gongaro sitting by the fountain
smoking their cigars. They stopped
talking for an instant when he came
out, and started again, obviously on
another subject. They couldn't have
been talking about the beauty of
Puerto Rico all that time, he
thought. He sat down at a table in
the corner and ordered Scotch and
soda. The window of Anne's room
was dark. There was a light in
the hall window, and one in Taus-
sig's near the angle of the wall. He
saw it 60 out abruptly. Probably
the maid, he thought.
He saw Taussig look up, and move
slightly. Then the light went on
again. Taussig moved again, glanc-
ing up at Anne's window. Or Pete
thought he did. He wasn't sure.
It was still dark.

RUSSIAN RELATIONS IMPROVE

RUSSIAN RELATIONS IMPROVE
The diplomatic grapevine reports
that inter-Allied relations with Rus
STA are going pretty well now. This
is certainly true on the surface, and
while some irritations have occurred
below the surface, both sides have
shown real tendency to try TO get
along. ai4A 49,. As. n
Most serious sub-surface irritation
was over the Mediterranean Council,
through which Russia, the United
States and Britain were to confer re-
garding Italy, North Africa and the
Balkans. A4Ee 4Nsmg 8 N n
The Russians, lsnubbed earlier In
the summer regarding preliminary
Italian armistice terms, took the
Mediterranean Council seriously and
appointed as their representative AM
drei Vishinski, the famous prosecutor
in the Russian purge trials. This
was the equivalent Of sending the
most outstanding member Of the
U. s. Supreme court or the leading
lawyer Of England. ny r9'
vishinski is man Of national
stature, capable OF making Mediter-
ranean decisions without consulting
Moscow. But to represent the Unit
ed States on the Mediterranean
Council, Secretary Hull sent Ed Will
son, U. s. ambassador to Panama.
Wilson Is a thorough-going, cornpe-
tent diplomat who can handle any
routine job and handle it well. But
almost no one outside diplomacy or
Panama has heard Of him. He has
no national stature and he cannot act
on his own. ae
Immediately IL developed that viii
son was to act as a glorified mes
senger and report everything back
to Washington. The British repre-
sentative was to do the same. In
other words, Churchill and Roose-
welt were to make the decisions, and
the much publicized Mediterranean
Council was to be a mere reporting
agency. a 'JE
This Immediately reused Russian
wrath. They had welcomed the
Council, appointed a top man. So
for moment they considered with
drawing. However, for the sake Of
Allied harmony, they stayed on and
are giving the Mediterranean Coun-
Gil trial.

BACK TO NORMALLY


1ndustry's eagerness to get back
to peacetime operation is seen in
the deluge of mail received by the
chemical division Of WPB. Theme
of every letter is: Unlaces the
straightjacket and give US a chance
to expand. aa A.ja 80
This pressure hits the chemical
division more than any other because
of the tight control which that divi-
sion has exercised over the industry,
and also because Of the tremendous
future of plastics and other develop
ments in the chemical field.
Controls are so tight that no ma
terials may be bought or sold with
out clearance with WPB, and in the
course of getting clearance, the APP
plicant must state lot of intimate
facts about his business, including
buying price, selling price, profit,
and inventories.
The real meaning Of the complaint
is that the industry is not worried
about paper work so much as it is
worried about limitation on profits.
Under government control prices
are held down by the fact that sales
are limited to war needs, but when
this restriction is removed, the de-
mand for chemical materials will be
terrific, and profits viii 60 through
the ceiling.

POOR .PA, WATSON

Toughest job White House Secre-
tary Maj. Gen. Edwin ("Pa") Wat
son Of the White House secretariat
has to tackle each day is Keeping
the Presidents appointment sched-
ule on time.
Frequently FDR will sit talking to
an old friend for is or 20 minutes
over the allotted time, and that
snarls the White House schedule for
the rest Of the day.
This is hard on the generals nerv-
Gus system, especially when bigwigs
from the war or navy departments
are waiting to discuss military mat
ters. On such occasions Watson is
not above barging in and breaking
up the conference.
The other day when the Presi-
dents old friend, Governor Bob Kerr
Of Oklahoma, was overstaying his
time-through no fault of his own
Watson walked in and began to pa
rade nervously about the room.
"Well, here's the undertaken, Mr..

Slow Brazil Rubber Proqrom

planners in Washington sought to
bring about a quick revival. It had
to be quick if the war effort was
to benefit. There were two view
points. One group believed the
only way to get quick rubber was
to cut through the ancient system
and get supplies directly to the
tappers in the jungle. The other
group insisted that rubber would
move out only If the price was
raised sufficiently high to make 1t
worth while all around-for the tap
pers, the suppliers, the merchants.
This last was the advice which
Archibald Johnston, head of Henry
Ford's operations in the Amazon,
says that he gave to Jesse Jones
at the very start of the rubber
program
For whatever reason, and pos
sibly because 1t was not given an
adequate trial, the first method did
not work. Supplies, or at least the
proper supplies, did not reach the
tappers. The influx of American
money sent all prices upward. Now
there is considerable pressure to
raise the price of rubber from As
to so cents. In view of the dis
locations already caused. it may,
however, be too late to give fair
trial to the second method.

Output Doubled

" the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Brew
ster Aeronautical Corp, headed by
Henry J. Kaiser since October 7,
almost doubled its production of
Navy Corsair fighters in the last 10
days of October, Rear Admiral
Clark H. Woodward has announced.
Addressing 10000 employees OF the
Brewster Long Island City plant at
the unveiling of a memorial to the
plants workers now In the armed
forces, Admiral Woodward said:
Official figures show that Brew
ster produced 81 per cent of its
Corsair quota in october. The sig
nificance Of this is apparent when
that figure is compared with your
production record as Of October 81,
at which time your production was
only 80 per cent of your quota.
This means that in the last 10
days OF October you almost doubled
your production quota" said the
admiral, chief Of the Nays Indus

 HITLER recently asked King Victor Emmanuel for Mussolini be- cause, he said, he wanted to take his former pal into protective cus- tOdy.

Also, he may have thought Hitler wanted to give him a bal cony in Orel.
 MUSSOLINI is reported to have said, as he was led away, that he had been a fool. That makes it unanimous.
