At the same time that she
taught physical education in a
girls preparatory school, Miss
Annie Kate Gilbert coached the
same young ladies in Latin.
When you know this. it's easy to
understand how she now can do
double lob as a member of the
YWCA staff for national USO
and regional supervisor Of Mary
land, the city of Washington, the
States of Virginia, North Caro-
lima and West Virginia. She
also carries the responsibility for
the YWCA part in USO overseas
work. Although her headquar-
ters for the YWCA overseas work
are in New York City, where for
the past 20 years she has served
with the National Board OF the
YWCA, Miss Gilbert never has
lost her Dallas TEX accent.
AS regional supervisor, her
work carries her all over the
States in her territory. She's
most impressed, she says, by the
fact that her region-from Elk
ton, Md, to Wilmington. N. c.
Is impaeted with war industries,
camps. Government workers, etc,
and, she feels, runs the whole
gamut of work in the war effort.
Miss Gilbert told us some in
terestlng little human-interest
stories about the young girls and
women who bring their daily
problems to the USO workers.
One group of war workers-na-
tlves of the West Virginia noun
tains-Who never had done any
work comparable to that of sit
ting for hours on end in a war
industry plant, found that their
shoulders and arms and the backs

Two other young Government
workers complained that since

What do you eat?" asked the
USO worker.
They told her just about what

1t was kind of slap-happy, not

USO worker planned another for
them, and for two weeks they

Maryland, Virginia Laws
Permit Express Hiqhways

Maryland and Virginia are among
II States that now have the neces-
sary laws to enable them to build
the express highways Of tomor-
row" when peace comes, Commits
sioner Thomas H. Macdonald of
the Public Roads Administration
Federal Works Agency, announced
today.
The Pennsylvania turnpike and
Merritt parkway in Connecticut are
early examples of the 'limited-ac-
cess" roads designed to serve through
traffic.
Many States cannot build these
advanced motorways. according to
Mr.. Macdonald, until they elm
mate old laws which limit road
widths and prevent acquisition of
adequate rights Of way for the broad
uninterrupted express highways.
The PRA has prepared a draft of a
model limited-ac highway law
so that States can draw their leg
islation now. The model act de-
fines two types of limited-access
roads: Parkways, from which trucks,
busses and other commercial We
hicles are banned, and freeways,
which are open to all traffic.
In addition to the IL States that
already have passed laws seven
States are considering laws on the
subject.

The broadcast, by the radio COM

tanned overtones of the Russian at

The German manpower crisis is
severe, Viktorov said, but Hitler
will manage to scrape some more

very well that time won't wait. The
important thing Is for everybody

The Russians said several days ago
that for the battle to win back the

A traveller who had Just arrived in
Turkey from Germany was quoted
In an Associated Press dispatch

new strategy called for destruction
Of Russian military strength rather

shifted from Athens Tatoi airport

Hitler's demands for further aid

To Plan Peace Now
Or Bow 10 Russia
Declares Failure to Act
Quickly May Cost
Prestige With Allies
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, March r.
Russia will hold "the real club
in the postwar world unless the
United States Immediately takes
the lead in planning the peace, Will
liam c. Bullitt, former Ambassador
to France and Russia, told the
Philadelphia United Nations Forum
last night.
Unless we act quickly, he added,
we are likely to lose our bargaining
power and the prestige we have with
the other United Nations.
His views were echoed in part by
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who did not
name Russia but said the rest of
the United Nations might go ahead
with their peace plans without us"
unless we begin talking their Ian
guage."
Mr.. Bullitt declared that "isola-
ton means war" and then said:
"We have to face the fact that
international negotiations are con-
trolled by national interests or i'm
agined national interests. When a
foreign government will not move
In the direction in which we want
it to move, there is only one way to
make 1t move.
Method Suggested.
THAT is the old way of getting
q donkey to move by holding car
rot In front of his nose and club
behind his tail, and intimating po-
litely that he can have either one
he wants. And the carrot has to
be real carrot and the club real
club.
"At the present time we have a
real carrot and real club. Our
power is comparable to Wilson's
power in the summer of 1918. But
the day Germany collapses, we shall
have still on our hands war with
Japan.
And the Soviet Union will be at
peace. and we shall want Soviet sup
port against Japan.
Under these circumstances we
are likely to find ourselves as i'm
potent as Wilson was in the spring
of 1919. The real carrot and the
real club will be in Stains hands"
He appended, we have our power
now, and while we have it, we must
use it, or lose the peace
One Worry About Peace.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she had only
one worry about the peace: ''If we
don't realize what the people of the
other United Nations are thinking
and looking forward to- refer to
the spiritual viewpoint-we may find
they will say, we don't talk your
language"
Sir Gerald Campbell, special assist
ant to the British Ambassador,
asked, What is the good of purring
and pussy-footing ourselves into an
other period of disillusionment after
this war? The worst thing we
and all the United Nations can do
then will be to wobble aimlessly and
let ignorant prejudice get the better
of us.
THAT can lose the peace just as
quickly as faulty supply Ines can
lose the war"

Brown Plans Appeals Court
To Hear Criticism of OPA Rules

Price Administrator Brown plans
to establish soon an appeals court"
composed largely of businessmen and
others outside the ONCE of Price Ad-
ministration to hear cases involving
public and congressional criticism of
major price and rationing policies,
it was learned today.
The plan, part of Mr. Browns gen.
eral program to make OPA more
acceptable publicly through opera
ton on democratic principles, has
been submitted to OPA's legal staff,
which will work out final details.
A panel composed of a score or
more businessmen, lawyers, doctors,
farmers and labor representatives
will be appointed, from which the
individual courts to hear specific
complaints will be selected. Men
and women chosen will all be leaders
in their respective fields. Individual
courts will include about four indi-
viduals, three from the outside, and
one OPA man-the deputy admin
strator whose division deals with the
product under appeal.
Members of the court will be called
to Washington whenever the occa-
sion demands.
This Is the way the plan will work ::
Congress might consider that Ma
tion-wide injustices are being Gre
ated under the shoe rationing pro-
gram. The need for action may be
reflected in telephone calls, letters
of complaint and personal visits to
Mr.. Brown by members of Congress.
Protests registered by the public also
will be considered.
OPA then would call together a
court to study the rationing pro-
gram from all angles. Expert wit
nesses would be summoned. After
hearing the merits of the COM
plants the court would hand down
its decision by majority vote. The
