The W ashing TON
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
C6ajor Robert g. Allen on active duty

WASHINGTON. = At a recent
cabinet meeting, Secretary OF War
Stimson was explaining the Army's
school to train military governors
at Charlottesville, Va He told how
the Army wanted to have men
skilled in government ready to
rule the occupied areas after they
were taken by our troops.
President Roosevelt interrupted
with the suggestion that civilian
government might be best for the
occupied areas He indicated that
he was not too enthusiastic about
the principle of military rule.
Whereupon Secretary of the In
terror Ickes, who has charge Of the
islands and territories of the Unit
ed States, acidly remarked:
And what about one spot of
completely American territory-Ha-
wall? Let's begin by establishing
civil government at home

The Senate committees invitation
indicates that this group, headed by
Senator Murray (D.-Mont), has a
worthy ambition. At one point, the
invitation says: To-day, an ILL
planned war program is not only
cutting off the fat, but is also in
some sectors, cutting into the very
bone Of our civilian economy"
Some economists here think "the
bone of civilian economy" Gas we'll
as the sinew of our middle classes
is small business and that unless
something is done to save it from
going down in the deluge of prior
tiles, price controls, rationing, in
ventory controls and manpower
shortages, our entire economic and
even social system will undergo a
change from which it will never
recover
Let is be said now that some
economists. big business men and
labor leaders think this would be
good tnlng. That ana the inertia
of the protectors of little business
with. perhaps, little business lack
of organization) is what has brought
its present plight--a plight serious
enough to force Senate committee
to call three-day session to see
what can be done about it.
Recently, I talked to a newsman
who had just returned from the
southwest and middle west.
"Figuratively." he said, Il saw
hundreds of closed doors of small
businesses which had signs hung on
them. Gone to War, OF maybe Gone
with the War; I'll bet nothing has
ever happened like this in the coun-

Small Business 10 Get
Hearing; Program Will
Be Drafted 10 Give Aid
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. lin mid
January, the Senate's Small Bust
ness Committee is going to hold here
a big powwow with SO representa-
tives of more than 100000 small and
medium business all over the land
ito formulate program"
If anything has been more talked
about and less attended to since the
United States went into high war
time production gear, it has been
the plight of small business. Some
legislation has been enacted and
some pressure brought, but it is
infinitesimal compared to the dam
age that has been and is being done
in a great many areas.
AS one observer put it, Every
one seems ready to die for little
business but very few are willing to
sit down and work out constructive
proposals that are in line with
reality"

TUGWELL INADEQUATE?
That is typical Of the mental
ity Of those jibaros whose will, !"
expressed In statutes sponsored
by Senator Munoz-Marin, repre-
sents democracy seeking to Dull
itself up by its own bootstraps in
Puerto Rico.
AS to local newspaper attacks
upon Governor Tugwelrs alleged
extravaganza, and stories OF con-
flicts between the governor and
members Of his immediate staff,
there is flat factual conflict be-
tween critics and supporters Of
Ttlgwell.
One group Of observers says
the governor Is the object Of a
bitter personal attack which dis
torts some incidents beyond rec
ignition. Another observer who
has no professional or economic
interest In the Battle of San Juan
said:
TN positions Of decreasing re-
sponsibility, Mr.. Tugwell has
shown himself increasingly made
quate as an administrator"
Whatever may be the net truth,
one cannot study the Tugwell SIT
uation closely without coming to a
pretty firm conclusion that the per-
sonal conflict between the governor
and the business community has
gone beyond reconciliation.
II every economic and political
difference could be washed UP over

that exist now probably would con-

WPA EQUIPMENT
PUT TO USE IN
WAR PROGRAM

st. Louis, Feb. 10.--(UP) The ma
tons war effort received a big
boost in materials when the Works
Project Administration commonly
known as WPA-closed its books
for the st. Louis area.
Great amounts Of bodybuilding
equipment were consigned to the
Alcan Highway, other materials
went to the armed forces and cleo
trio irons from WPA sewing prof.
ects went to the Navy for use Of
the Waves.
And more, rnateriasl arc coming
IN from varinouspp
in from various projects In Mis-
SQUIRT, to be feshipped to where they
are needed most by our fighting men
or auxiliary services.
Services Get Tools
So far, about 20 freight car loads
and almost 800 truck loads Of tools
and other equipment have been
sent to Army, Navy and public
building depots.
Nothing is being destroyed in
this district" District Manager
William j. Gray said. Everything
we have is being reclaimed and put
into channels where 1t will be USE
full In the war program"
The district is dispatching two
dentist chairs for some Alaskan
spot. Along whit hem goes cast
iron stoves, once used for warming
houses for out-of-door workers, for
soldiers and workers In Edmonton,
Alta, and other points along the
Alcan Highway.
Ship Lumber
Lumber, and even the signs used
by the WPA, are being shipped to
places where they are needed. The
lumber framework Of the signs Is
torn apart and designed for some
other use, while the sheet metal
facing are used to line temporary
buildings.
MISCELLANEOUS, surveyors instru-
rnents, Iaanhole covers, pipe cutting
tools. sofety goggles for welders
and complete blacksmith shops
have been Grated and assigned for
shipment.
Broken tools, cracked stoves and
unusable metal are being thrown
into the nations scrap metal stock
pile. Worn rubber boots are being
sent to rubber declain1ing depots.
Heretofore, the boots were slashed
across the sides and soles SO scrap
dealers could not return them to
the market. That practice has been
discontinued, for only those boots
too warn out to be used by the
fighting men are turned In for
scrap.
