PROPOSAL for Bedrock
Living Levels Bring
Most Terrific HowIs
BY HERMAN ALLEN

A chorus of gasps went up from
American Threats with disclosure
of bedrock wartime economy
plan outlined by the WPB's Office
of Civilian Supply 1t proposed
tentatively, levels of civilian con-
sumption of goods and services in
the event of a long war. Not ar
invasion of the United States or a
state of siege-just long war.
The report stated certain per-
oentages of peacetime consumption
based on 1889 or 1941 in most cases
1t sounded pretty grim but
talked with couple of fellows in
OCS and Jimmy Byrnes' Office OF
Economic Sterilization, which asked
OCS to prepare the report, and
they cleared up two important
things
l. AS it stands, the plan isn't
plan at all, but starting point
for study which may finally result
in a plan. 1t is not recommends
alton for action.
2. If a bedrock" plan ever is
put into effect. it probably will be
lot grimmer N most respects than
the schedule now under consider
alton.
Proposals Devised Hurriedly
Actually, good many of the
provisions of the present proposal
already are in effect. The reason
is simple. The plan was gotten up
in fairly much of a hurry = and
pretty much in the dark in some
respects-and there wasn't time to
work out a really bedrock figure
for all items. Nor was Byrnes really
concerned about getting an abso-
lutely final figure at that time.
"All we wanted" a spokesman for
his office told me, was something
that we could pass around among
all the agencies involved and say
What do you think of this?' Likely
as not, they'll disagree-but that's
lust what we want to know. We
want to get them started thinking
about it and working on it. We're
just giving them starting point
for their figuring"

The W ASKING Ton
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
major Robert s. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON. - Railroad his
tory was recently made, largely as
the result of battle by a Mary
land farmer who exposed a deal
between j. P. Morgan and the
many-times financed Erie Rail
road to refinance it again without
benefit of competitive bidding -
and without benefit to the stock
holders.
Back in Civil War days the Erie
was the object of historic fin
ancial battle, when Jay Gould and
Daniel Drew stole its books, fled
to New Jersey, and proceeded to
issue paper stock beyond the reach
OF. the stockholders. j. P. Morgan,
the elder, and Commodore Wander
bilt fought them in this deal.
In World War II, the long bank
rupt Erie, put through several re-
ceiyerships, has been carrying rec
ord quantities Of war goods and
making money hand over fist. So
Morgan, Stanley and Company
(offshoot of j. P. Morgan) secret
ly negotiated the refinancing of
$l4,oo0,0OO of Erie bonds held by
the RFC.
This time the battle was between
Morgan and midwest bankers who
were not allowed to bid. But Nor
gan's chief opponent actually turned
out to be Eugene Casey, who owns
two farms near Washington which
he calls New Deal Farm No. +
and New Deal Farm No. O." and
who also happens to own some
stock in the Erie Railroad.
Because of Casey's loyalty to
FDR he is on the White House
staff as farm adviser, but he
fought the Erie deal as private
individual, and incidentally deliv-
cred before the Interstate Com
merce Commission one of the most
scathing speeches since Roosevelt's
banking speech" March 4, 1888.

FDR Sets Example on
Rewriting Of LETTERS;
Petty Tyranis Scored
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March %. -
This happened some time ago but
the effect of it is spreading. The
conservationists in government jobs
had been harping for weeks on
the waste Of manpower and paper
resulting from the fact that petty
tyrants in the government insist on
having letters rewritten if there
is single transposition OF letters,
one misspelled word, or an out-of-
place comma.
The TRADE had had little effect
until President Roosevelt, writing
to Congress withdrawing the nomi-
nation of Ed Flynn as minister to
Australia, wrote in ink "at his own
request over the typewriter lines
Some estimates are that there
has been a so per cent decline in
'write-this- over -again" orders since
the President set that example. A
government supervisor told me re-
Gently that government bureaus in
Washington alone could save $4,000
8-hour working days a year if ink
correctable letters didn't have to be
rewritten.
