The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tdaior Robert 6. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON.-Last September the War Department announced it would convert enough Army posts along the Atlantic seaboard from oil to coal to save 15,O00,000 gall Ions of fuel oil per year.
 Real fact, however, is that neither the Army nor the Navy has stirred itself about converting to coal OPA officials estimate that if the armed forces really wanted to, they could save tons of fuel oil along the Atlantic Coast.
 This does not include oil used for fuel in naval vessels. Nor does it include gasoline or oil used for Army trucks and tanks. It includes only fuel oil to heat Army and Navy establishments or to operate Army and Navy factories.
 Both the Army and Navy get a blank check for oil requirements to be used as they see fit. The OPA hasn't authority to talk to the armed forces about either conver- sion or conservation.
 Here are some of the requests made by the Army for fuel oil within the fiscal year beginning this month: Army Engineers, At lantic City, 1,98O,000 gallons; Army Engineers. Cape May, 1,980,0OO; Quartermaster Corps, Atlantic City 938.00O; Model City, N Y, Ord nance Works. 4,943 ,000; Springfield Mass. Armory, 2,7s5.O Aberdeen Proving Ground, l,240,000; Water town, Mass, Arsenal. 6,675, ,OOO - plus an extra 100000 for storage
 The Navy requirements for fuel oil for next year include: Phila- delphia Naval Hospital. 100000; Marine Corps Supply Depot. Phil adelphia. 1.96O,0o0; 1.960,OOO; New York Navy Yard, 100000; Lake hurst Naval Air Station, 1,500,000; Pawtuxent River Naval Air Sta tion, a new establishment. 1,53l .000
 NOTE: Though located in an area where oil is not so scarce as along the Atlantic Seaboard, the War Relocation Authority at Riv- CTS, Ariz., new establishment for Japanese, has just requested l. 26O,OOO gallons of fuel oil for the coming year.

Eddy Gilmore Is Back Home Affer } Years on
 European Battle Lines
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON. July 31. = Eddy Gilmore is back.
 Three years ago, Washington knew Eddy as PIP pounds of jo- vialty who turned out for The Asso- ciated Press the kind of baseball writing that made worthwhile story on even the sorry Washington Senators of those days and the kmd of features that made a story on the Smithsonian Institution sound like a hayride to Mars.
 Since then Eddy has had months of the London air blitzkreig and nearly two years of covering Russia and her efforts to hurl back the Nazi hordes. He has covered the US.S.R. from Archangel to the Caspian Sea and from the long western front to the Bering Straits.
 When Gilmore flew to London, his travelling companion was Wen dell Willkie, When he flew across the Straits and Alaska on the way back, it was Joseph Davies. return ing from his second Mission to Moscow Some call it luck, but whatever it is, Eddy's the kind of newspaper man who has knack of being in the right spot at the right time. He's as full of unwrit- ten anecdotes about Russia and the Russians as his belt is of waist lire.
 There was, for example, the story about Brig. Gen. Pat Hurley. The genial General had met Josef Stalin and captivated him so completely that Stalin designated him the first foreigner to be taken to the Russian front lines.
 On the Don steppes, outside Sta- lingrad. General Vatutin had por- tion of his army drawn up for General Hurley to review. The Gen. eral was told that the men had just marched IT miles through hell-fire and that they were re- turning immediately to battle.
 Through the interpreter, he told Vatutin that he would like to send them off with "a good old Okla homa Indian war-whoop." vatutin looked puzzled, but gave his con- sent,
 z "The General says Eddy, threw back his head and let out an un- earthly yell that rolled across the steppes like tornado. The Rus sian lines wavered. Even General Vatutin jumped.

MORE PLANS ON CLEANUP
 WEEK GIVEN
City Truck Drivers Will BaIk al Hauling Stumps.
 Bathtubs

The City of Juneau is willing to haul away every kind of junk and trash but stamps and bathtubs in the Clean-Up Week campaign which starts next Monday, Mayor Harry l. Lucas said today.
 City Outside Operations Foreman Bert Lybeck said his truck drivers will cooperate in every way pos sible in getting the city cleaned up spic and span, just as long as they don't have to go down into the basements after the junk
 All trash, he said, should be brought to the curbs and placed there, except in blocks where there are alleys, and then the trash should be placed in the alley.
 The city will be divided into three sections, with a truck assigned to cover each section, and if business is brisk enough. a truck will make the rounds of each district every day.
 MT. Lybeck said that those who have their junk ready to haul away should call the city telephone number-88-and let the person who answers the phone know about it in order to assure a speedy pickup.
 Any residents having scrap alum mum or other scrap metals essen- tial to the war effort, should also place this salvage material out with the trash, but in separate pile and the city trucks will haul this material to the salvage depot, Ly- beck added.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

Some writer's may be doing a
great deal of harm with the BEAU
tiful word pictures they are paint
ing of our life after the war.
You'll have this luxury and that
convenience" they promise. And
they always say YOU.
They don't sa Some people will
live like this" Or, IF you have
the money you can do SO and so"
They just coine right out and tell
you that this and that will be yours
as soon as the war is over.
But we aren't all going to have
houses free of dust particles. All of
our kitchens aren't going to be
equipped with electric dish washers
and stoves with glass ovens.
All of us aren't going to have our
own small airplanes.
In short, we aren't all going to
live in ease and luxury when the
war is over.
Many couples will have tough
going for years while the husband,
who went straight from school
into the service, gets job training
and experience.
Many couples will have a hard
time for a while BECAUSE the hus-
band, who gave up the practice Of
his profession, or sold his small
business to go into the Army, or to
take a war plant job, has to make
another start.

but an increase of speed in get
ting aid to Russia. And on Dec.
IL, four days after Pearl HarbOr,
Hull issued another statement TO
reinforce the determination to
aid the Soviet Union. I'VE for
our part" said the statement,
"have no doubt that the govern
ment and people of the USSR will
do their full part i'm standing side
by side with all liberty loving
people, against the common men
ace"
A year after the Nazi invasion of
Soviet Russia, Hull sent message
to the Soviet Commissar for For
eign Affairs, Molotov, assuring him
that during the coming year aid to
Russia would pour forth in an
ever widening stream, until final
victory has been achieved.
In d conversation with Ambas-
sador Litvinov in March, 1943, Sec
retary Hull pointed out the need
for the four big nations, Russia,
Great Britain, China and the Unit
ed States, as well as all the United
Nations, to stand together during
the war as well as after the war,
since no two of them would be able
to control the postwar situation,
except for a brief time at best. In
this conversation, Hull also foresaw
that inevitably troublemakerS and
agitators would try to stir up dis
sensions behind the military lines.
TROUBg. .EMAKERS
Hull's fears on this matter were
to materialize sooner than he
thought. He repeated to Litvinov his
plea for greater cooperation be-
tween the u. S. and the US.S.R. in
May, emphasizing that the miSun-
derstandings and suspicious could
be cleared up, though it might re-
quire little effort on the part of
the officials and leaders of each
country. When, shortly thereafter,
the Soviet abolished the Communist
International, Hull greeted that act
of friendliness as welcome news.
Then Litvinov left Washington in
June, and Hull issued a. broad invi-
tation to the Soviet Charge DAFT
fairs, Andrei A. Gromyko, to call
on the secretary or other officials
of the department during the am
bassador's absence on any occasion
when help could be given.
On Aug. q, however, Hull was
to ask GrOmykO, now his cOun-
trys ambassador, to call at the
state department so that the Sec
retary might discuss the harmful
effects on uninfOrmed people of
the published charges that he was
anti-SOviet and that he desired
to see Russia s"bled white" The
same day, at his press conference,
Secretary Hull branded this sort
of troublemaking publicity based
on deliberate falsehOod as having
the effect of aiding the enemy.

need for the shotgun shells to drive
away grain-gobbling migratory birds be-
came apparent early in the summer ana
that it was relayed to Washington.
After three months of red tape the
Washington office of the War Produc-

it. But much grain had already been

PAPA KNOWS BEST

The army added further eXasperating
evidence of its papa knows best news
policy the other day when it insisted that
O group of high-ranking military leaders
address the House of Representatives in
secret session. After the meeting several
congressman said they thought that these
leaders reports, variously described as
highly informative" very convincing
and straight from the shoulder" should
be made public Yet if it had not been
for the usual leaks" not single crumb
of information would have been thrown
to the ordinary news-hungry citizen.
Some of the news that leaked out was
already known. The rest of it was of
sort that the public could and should
know, since it obviously is known to the
enemy: that Japan's manpower problem
is less serious than ours; that she is
building planes faster than we can de-
stroy them; that a half-milliOn Jap
troops menace Russia'S much-talked-of
Siberian air bases that German fighter
pilots are lodging ours not because they
are afraid but because they are concen-
trating their strength on our bomber for
nations.
We are accused, as a nation, of being
complaeent-and why shouldn't we be,
coated? But the great wonder is that
we haven't become panicky. We read of
advances in Italy and the Solomons, of
German factories leveled and great fleets
Of Jap planes smashed. Then we hear
from congressman who attended this Sc
cret meeting that the speakers "debunk-
ed lot of optimism" and that General
Marshall gave the impression that I'VE
are in one hell of a war;
1t certainly would not be surprising
if some newspaper readers are contrast
ing the enthusiastic tone of official news
releases with these pessimistic hints from
behind closed doors, and are beginning to
wonder just how much is being kept from
them and how much of anything they
can believe.
News leaks" and speculation are
scarcely the ideal mediums for reconcil-
ing this bewilderment But the press
can't be blamed for falling back on them
when nothing better is offered. And the
public can't be censured for the very
human reaction of eXaggerating the per-
lis of the unknown and the untold.
Naturally, nobody wants any informa-
ton made public that could possibly
hamper our prosecution of the war. But
the secret session of the House is only
one of several incidents that add up to
the conclusion that considerable conf
dential'' information is so designated
through the caprice of the powers that be.
The Army isn't the only capricious
power, by any means. The Navy is given
to similar lofty attitudes. And the civil
ian government on OCCASION has fallen
into the services habit of regarding the
public that is fighting and paying for
this war as an irresponsible group to be
dismissed with pat on the head and the
admonition to run along now, papas
busy.
