WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS
By James Preston

Inauguration of the powerful
Office Of War Mobilization is re-
garded here as a belated move
to abate the rising storm OF
Congressional criticism over the
conduct of the war program on
the nome front.
Under the new Presidential
order James F.. Byrnes, as OWN
Director, will have top author
ity over the entire home front
effort including the mobilization
of natural and industrial re-
sources, civilian manpoWer, and
economic sterilization.
In the words of the chief Ex-
ecutive the OWN was created to
unity more closely the work OF
the war agencies concerned
with the production, procure
ment, transportation, and dis
tribution of military and civil
ian SUPPLIES, materials, and prod
uctS.
With sweeping powers and full
responsibility for what he, him.
self described as the direction
of the home front wal effort
and essential civilian supply,
Mr.. Byrnes is subject only to the
control of the president.
While the actual execution OF
programs will be left to a great
extent to the numerous govern
ment agencies and departments
involved, OWN, according to
Director Byrnes, will develop
and execute programs and de-
termine policies.
Advocating the roll back OF
prices of cost-of-living COM
modities through subsidies to
producers and professors, OPA
Administrator Brown has met
strong Congressional opposition.
And to complicate the subsidy
question War Food Administra-
tor Chester Davis has told a
Senate Agriculture Subcommit-
tee that price control by sub
Sidy would be dangerous and
probably would not work. More
over Congressman have warned
Secretary of Commerce Jessie
Jones that the borrowing power

they connot secure the requiS-
ite support in normal times. Too
often, once the statement is

hoped that questions will be dis
couraged and criticism silenced.

other less scarce foods are being

FIGHTING CEREAL-"Grits'
have long been a popular item
for breakfast on many Ameri-
can tables, but now a different
kind of "grits" are providing
breakfast, luncheon, and din
ner, for our big naval and ar
tillery guns all over the world.
In a talk to the American AS
ISOLATION of Cereal Chemists re-
Gently, S. L. Fisher, an expert
grain buyer for the Schenley
Distillers corporation, revealed
that grits made from grain are
increasing the yield of vital war
alcohol, indispensable in the
manufacture of smokelesS pow
der, synthetic rubber and a host
of other war materials, from
three to eight per cent. A sort
of granular flour, with the bran,
wheat germ and husk removed,
the grits are made from surplus
grain stocks garnered by the
prices in peace time years.
Schenley is using 5000 tons a
month, Fisher reported, and has
found them a potent factor in
helping to attain its current
production rate of about 36,000,-
900 gallons of alcohol annually,

used in beer can openers, is now
being used in the manufacture
of metal links for airplanes' So
callbre machine-gun ammuni-
ton belts. R. C. Taylor, vice
president in charge of manu-
tactErc, explained that the met
al links are now being used in
stead OF fabric ammunition belts
IN order to eliminate the JAM
ming of machine guns in aerial
battle. Although fabric ammun-
ition belts have proven satisfac-
tory for use on the ground,
machinc-guns in aircraft have
damned because the violent
alrobatics of a fighting plane
sometimes causes the fabric to
stretch to the extent that the
belts are unable to seat the
cartridges in accurate firing
position. The metal links
which have proven their mettle
under extreme battle conditions,
act as fingers" in holding cart
ridges together in long bands.
When a gun is fired, the cart
ridges are successfully jerked
out of their links and slid into
the firing chamber of the weap-
on. The connecting links separ-
ate and are expelled into a
chute carrying them outside the
plane. The cartridges, after be-
ing fired, pass out through an
other port.
WAR-JOB SAFETY - Alert
factory management has for
years insisted that men working
at tasks where flying objects,
such as chips and fragments of
metal, endanger their safety,
must wear goggles. But the war
has brought new problems. Mil
hons of women entering war
jobs found the old types OF
goggles were not only unsightly,
but that they did not fit, being
designed to fit the larger fea-
lures of the men. Moreover, as
precision grinding and treat
ment of metal became increas-
ingly important, there were new
hazards which called for new
types of glass. These problems
are met in a new google whose
specially curved lenses are
toughened by a secret treatment.
Made by the American Optical
Company, the lenses are first
ground to a scientifically de-
termined arching curve which,
as in a stone or concrete arch,
gives them great strength. Next
they are heat-treated in a fur
mace for a specified time at a
definite temperature, then COOL
ed by a blast of air. These ex-
! ceptionally hard lenses are used

Behind The Scenes In
American Business
By John Crdddock

Most of us are accustomed to
thinking of price indexes as
something that a group of
long haired economists pull out
of a hat with the aid of a slide
rule and a few other magic
wands. Actually, they, like pro-
duction and business activity in
deXes, are the life blood of bus
mess, and marketing in an in
telligent way is well-nigh impos-
sible without them More recent
ly, price indexes have taken on
new meaning, because wage
contracts are often tied to
changes in the cost of living.
When everybody knows the cost
of living is rising, and the
housewife watches a particular
item like butter or chopped
meat 60 up sharply, it is very
difficult to convince anyone
that changes like One-half of
one per cent are true reflections
of what goes on. The Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, which has been
compiling such an index for a
generation. has recently been
trying to keep up with the
times. Items like meat, bananas
and certain fresh vegetables are
scarce. and SO they do not make
up as much of a part of the cost
of living as they used to. So the

The other day I heard a pas
serby on the street say Isn't
this the deadest town you ever
saw? There's no place to dance
or do anything" I wonder how
many of US have said that very
thing? We all have, but what
do we do about it? Nothing! I
can remeber how we young folks
used to be criticized for running
around to other towns to dane
es. People said we were wild.
We used to 60 to Lodge Grass,
where they provided dancing
for their young people once
every week. Hats off to Lodge
Grass, the most wide-awake
little town I've ever seen, where
the business people and resi-
dents stand behind their bask-
etball team 1O0%-where, since
the emergency, they meet the
BUSES and treat the service
men.
Our town has a city ordinance
stating that no establishment
which provides both dancing
and drinking may be run in
side the city limits. What do we
have? We have plenty of places
to drink but no place to dance.
There has always been criticism
about the younger people, but
what can we expect? I heard a
very smart man say, THE gov
eminent can ration sugar, but
no one will ever ration fun"
NOW, more than ever before,
we need a place for people to
get together and amuSe them
selves. Let's all be at the Com
munity room in the new court
house at 800 pm. Saturday,
June IL , and talk over this
situation and see if we aren't
capable of providing some sort
of recreation center where our
service men can meet their old
friends while home on leave,
and the people of Hardin, young
and old, may enjoy good, decent
entertainment. The Alumni OF
Hardin high school are asking
EVERY ONE to help. The pres
ident of Jul Alumni Association
Melvin Cooke, has gone to the
armed forces to do his part in
making this world a better
our part in our own little COM
nunity.

TIRE INSPECTION DEAD
LINE TIME CHANGED

eve reprint the following item
for the general information of
motor vehicle operators.)
Because motorists are taking
better care Of their tires Cor so
it is thought) the Office of Price
Administration on Tuesday post
poned the deadline for the first
official inspection and reduced
the required number of later ex
aminations.
Instead of the original Janu-
airy 81 deadline, a stagger sys-
tenn has been established which
gives holders of the basic A ra-
lion until the end of March for
their initial tire inspection and
holders of B and c supplement-
airy books until the end of Feb
ruary.
At the same time the deadline
for the first tire inspection for
commercial vehicles was post
poned from January Is to Feb
ruary %.
After the first inspection, mo-
florists holding A books must
have their tires examined once
in each six-month period, in
stead of the original requirement
of once every four months. Hold
ers of B and c books must have
later inspections every three
months, instead of every two
months. After the first inspection
commercial vehicles must have
tire inspections every so days or
every 5000 miles, whichever oc-
ours first.
All tire inspections, both for
private and commercial vehicles,
must be made at stations desig-
mated by the Office Of Price Ad-
ministration. Persons who fail to
comply with the tire inspection
requirements will be denied gas
oline rations.

Teachers Given
Boost In Pay

The school board in special
session here today, changed the
salary scale of teachers for. the
remainder of the session. A re-
cent communication from the
state superintendent of public in
struction to the local division
superintendent announced that
Governor Darden had released
additional funds which would
enable the state department Of
education to increase the salary
of each teacher SIS per month
for the remainder Of the current
session, provided the local school
boards would match this amount.
In other words, the teachers of
this county under such a plan
would receive an increase Of
$50 per month for the remainder
of the present school session.
School officicls in this county
were unable to raise the addition
al amount for each teacher UNI
der the budget adopted by the
Board of Supervisors last April.
However, under the salary scale
in effect in Dickinson county,
teachers are paid certain bonus
es at the end of the school year.
After thorough study Of the
problem school officials decided
to use the money reserved for
bonuses in order to match G
money being advanced by e
state. Under such a plan each
teacher in the county will receive
an additional amount this SEES
sion of $3.50. The school board
also found it possible to pay the
teachers in addition 81 per pupil
in average daily attendance.
Approximately six to eight
teachers received a bonus pay
ment last session in excess of
$3.50, while under the plan adopt
ed by the board today, according
to the superintendent of schools,
every teacher in the county will
receive a much larger salary
than was the case last year.
The board today rescinded it's
action of the regular January
meeting when it voted to pay
the Victory Tax for all teachers
for the remainder of the present
school year.
