Gene" Kinnaly
53-Yeor-old Secretary to Rep. John Me- Cormock of Massachusetts Hardest
 Working Congressional on Capitol Hill.
BY DREW PEARSON

Eugene T. Kinnaly. Gene" Kinnaly is unique in that he recently cele- brated his 18th anniversary as a Congressional secretary, the last IT as the right-hand man of McCor- mack.
 Kinnaly's primary rules for a successful secretary are: CD loyalty to his chief and (2) hospitality to- ward visitors. However, he modestly avoids mentioning that he probably works longer hours than any other individual on Capitol Hill.
 Kinnaly has dictated as many as 200 letters in day, besides playing host to a steady stream of visitors from all over the country. He treats them all cordially, whether they come from McCormack's district or not. "A secretary's value is meas ured by the amount of responsibility he takes off Congressman's shoul- ders," he says. He has to be an alter ego."
 Gene used to take the alter ego business pretty seriously when he came to Capitol Hill in 1918 as sec- retary to Representative James A.. Gallivan, McCormack's predecessor. He even went to the extent of imi- tating Gallivan on the phone, an experiment that met with variable success.
 Once when former Secretary of Navy Josephus Daniels called the office, and Kinnaly introduced him. self as Gallivan, Daniels said: :: why, hello, Congressman. thought I recognized you voice."
 However, the impersonating stop ped after a State Department off, cial told Kinnaly on the phone: There must be a mistake, Con- gressman. I called your hotel last night and they told me you were out of town"
 T left instructions at the hotel to tell callers I was out of town,' Kinnaly came back quickly. i've been bothered by an awful lot of crackpots recently"

of the fact that they didn't get seasick, as some of the men did, during the trip to the Canal Zone. They participated in all the ships drills and attended life-saving classes classes given to the gun crew. They make $65 month, which, with port bonuses, brings their paycheck up to $1O5 apiece.
 The War Shipping Administra- tion's main objection to "sea wom- en" is one of morals, one salesman here says frankly.
 Another reason why more wom- en haven't been recruited for sea jobs, VISA authorities point out, is that there are still planty of men to fill mess attendant and steward positions aboard ship.
 "If we can get women engineers, oilers, navigators and 'firemen, we'll take 5em," they say.

War May Add Aye, Aye, Ma'a
 ITO Americans Sea- Going Lingo
By NEA Service

by NEA SerVlce
 Washington.-The day may be nearing when hard-boiled American merchant seamen will respond to an order with Aye, Aye, Ma am" and the Ship Aho-o-o-y!" ringing out through foggy night will be strictly soprano.
 It's all because the manpoWer shortage has hit our shipping, from the shipyards all through the en- tire merchant marine service. To ease tis pinch, the U. s. Maritime Commission answers for the entire industry: Well use women!' Mebbe so. The National Maritime Union thinks it's swell idea. At its recent convention in New York, the NMU adopted resolution de- manding that women be permitted to return to sea ill Uncle Sams cargo ships. Following that, a dele gation of 18 NMU women called on Rear Admiral Emory s. Land, VISA chairman, to plead their own and other she-sailors' cases Admiral Land Is strongly against the use of women in cargo ship crews, but the delegates made out a strong enough case to win his promise to attend a meeting with President Roosevelt and the dele gation at a later date. He said he would bring the question of women seamen up with the heads of the Army, Navy and Merchant Marine but would not personally advocate their cause.
 Be that as it may, it all puts the spotlight on the only two women who, to date, have the dis tinction of actually serving at sea with papers from the National Maritime Union, and certificates of service from the U. s. Department of Commerce. They are Mrs. Ruth Bogard, 25, of Berkwood, Calf, anc Mrs. Mary Cotton, 35, of San Fran cisco, both certified as ships cooks and bakers. Recently they shipped aboard a freighter on the West Coast run to Panama( as mess at- tendants.
 Both women joined up because their husbands are sailors. Mrs Cotton's was a water-tender aboard

Will Survey Changing
 WorSituotion
BY H. O. THOMPSON United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, August Il. - (UP> - The fast-moving war situation from Europe to the Far East will be surveyed in more detail than ever before at the forthcoming Roosevelt-C Churchill conference, well informed diplomats believed today.
 While the Soviet Union and China will not be represented, it was believed that the strategy evolved would be worldwide in scope and reach into the postwar era.
 The official announcement Of Prime Minister Winston Churchills arrival, said he would confer with the combined American British chiefs of staff, as well as with MT. Roosevelt that means that this country's four top military officers vii lhelp the President and the Prime Minister may Allied strategy. The United States is represented on the combined chiefs of staff by Admiral William D. Leahy, MT. Roosevelt's chief of staff; General George c. Marshall, Army chief of staff; Admiral Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the fleet, and General Henry H. Arnold, com- mander of the Army Air Forces.
 No Russians
 President Roosevelt at yesterdays press and radio conference said said no Russians would attend. But that didn't mean he wouldn't be awfully glad to have them.
 The military successes of the Red Army and the expected autumn campaign to reopen the door of China by a large-scale Allied ex- petition into Burma undoubtedly will be topics of prime importance.
 In the more immediate future lies the Italian situation and repeated indications that weakness are be- ginning to appear in the Nazi for tress of Europe.
 Since the last previous meeting between MT. Roosevelt and Churchill, in May. the downfall of Benito Mus solini has created new circumstances affecting strategy. There is req son to believe that Mussolinis fall had been anticipated, but the swift day-to-day changes now transpir- ing require new approach to the task of knocking Italy out Of the war.
 Other Developments
 Other new developments include the free Germany manifesto issued from the Soviet Union and the re- cent renewal Of Russian demands for the opening Of a second front in Europe proper.
 The German manifesto. issued by a group Of Germans in the Soviet Union apparently with Soviet ap- proyal, was interpreted here as in' dication that Russia is further 'ad' yanced than either Britain or the United States in plans for postwar Germany. The manifesto and signs of impending orders in Nazi Ger many have caused responsible ofii- cials here to urge an aeceleration oi Angio-American planning as a basis for future collaboration with the Soviet Union. At present the Rus sian and Anglo- American views to. ward Germany are dissimilar and officials here feel the necessity Of narrowing the differences in order [ opreyent confusion and lessened effectiveness in dealing with de- feated Germany.

Observations
Gold Deposited in
U. S. by Argentina
Being Called Back
BY He,en Esssry

Differences OF opinion among gov
eminent officials have delayed lp
10 now the freezing OF Argentine
funds held on deposit in the United
states. And so far as can be ascer-
tanned. there is no immediate pros
pect that an agreement Will be
reached on this question soon.
The result is that what happened
In the case of Germany and some
other countries is happening IN the
case Of Argentina. That is, II the
L. S. ever gets around to locking
the stable door, it probably will be
after the horse is stolen.
The Argentine government for
some time now has been withdraw
ing approximately zoo million dol
lars I'm gold which the Central Bank
OF the Argentine has had on d.
post in this country. This is extra
ordinary because Of high war risk
insurance rates in shipping gold,
but the government OF the South
American nation apparently is
afraid that the United States might
finally make up its mind TO freeze
all Argentine deposits in this count
try.
A move in that direction was
made last week when the assets OF
two OF the largest banks OF the Ar
gentine were frozen here. The Of
fetal American reason was that the
banks were aiding the Nazis. There
has been no evidence Of an inten-
ton, however. to grab all the Ar
gentine funds in this country.
But the Buenos Aires boys would
rather have their gold back home
than risk having to decker with
Uncle sam 10 get it. We, incident
ally, are losing a trump card as the
funds move out.
There is growing indication that
the Germans are facing an increas-
ingly critical shortage OF high proof
gasoline and fine lubricating oils
for airplanes and that this will ham
per the Nazi war effort more and
more.
One reason for the shortage is
said to be the devastating Ameri-
can bombing raid on the Ploesti
oil fields in Rumania which soon
can expect TO receive an additional
plastering from American and Brit
ish planes based in southern Italy.
The German position may be-
come even more critical IL Bulgaria
and Rumania are forced out OF the
war by the advancing Russian
hordes. There have been growing
signs, too, that these nations are
willing TO follow ltaly's example as
soon as possible.
One reason for the Russian sue
cess in winter offensiyes has been
that German synthetic lubricants
are almost useless in sub-zero
temperatures whereas the Soyiets
have been able TO operate equip
ment in the worst possible weather.
Apropos feed for livestock, Sen.
George Aiken. Vermont Republican.
has warned that the feed industry
is profiteering off farmers by COM
bining a little barley with corn
meal and selling it at s45 to $50 a
ton as mixed feed in New England.
C2A has set no control over
mixed feed and the result is that
by adding a little different grain
to one type OF feed or another. the
price Of the combination is more
than doubled over the price Of any
component part.
Although he generally is "agin'
government control OF such things.
Aiken believes Uncle Sam ought TO
buy up the grain crops in order to
improve distribution OF grain sup
plies and to keep prices out OF the
profiteering brackets.

Illinois, we have the official figures
on the causes Of rejection in the
army among applicants Is and 10
years old.
The gross figures show that
23eo of white youths were re-
jected for physical defects, and
that 45co of negroes were re-
jected. This seems surprisingly
high in both groups.
The chief cause Of rejection
among the negroes was defective
education. This is a shocking re-
Election on our civilization, but a
subject with which this column
does not deal.
Causes Of Rejection
The chief cause of rejection
among the white applicants was
eye defects and the second mental
disease. This has nothing to do
with mental deficiency which
comes in different category. The
applicants rejected for mental dis
ease were actually insane.
Hernia, the subject that is heard
about so much, is sixth in the list
among both whites and negroes.
Ear trouble, heart disease and
underweight stand pretty high.
Breaking these figures down,
the eye trouble was blindness in
"A out Of a thousand applicants.
Defective vision in "a out of a
thousand.
Deafness was comparatively
rare, but running ears occurred in
10 out of thousand cases.
One cause Of rejection that the
layman finds hard to understand
is why the applicant is rejected
on account Of his teeth. Having a
denture will reject you. So will a
sufficient number of missing teeth.
This was explained to me by a
submarine officer who said when
the men had to escape from sub
merged submarine they held q
rubber respirator in their mouths
which gave them oxygen until
they reached the surface. Without
good teeth they couldn't do it.
But there can't be enough men
in the submarine service to ac-
count for all the reflections. ! sup
pose it is mostly that they have
to be equipped with means to eat
anything any time no matter
how much Dragging we have had
on the army food.
Heart disease ranks fairly high,
but the boards are very strict on
heart disease. Foot trouble does
not show a very high percentage.
I presume most develop foot trou-
bic after they get in the army.
Occupations Of Unfit
Looking over the occupations Of
the rejected it is somewhat strange
TO find more farmers rejected than
any other kind of worker. We had
always thought Of the rugged
farmer as the prime example of
good health. But not at all. White
collar men are healthier than the
farmers.
The record as a whole is GER
tainly not anything to be proud Of.
1t is true the medical examiners
have been more strict in this war
than the last. But even so in a
young age group to find % per
cent Of white applicants so physi-
eally disabled they can't even
march, and As per cent Of colored,
does not speak well for the nation.
When we begin to do some post
war planning it might be we'll to
remember that charity begins at
honna
