Senator, remarked on leaving a confer
ence, THE old devil didn't bite me-" I
remember when just one "hif" flashed
around town as an Ickes bellylaugh.
When President Roosevelt suddenly or
dered him to take over strike-boun coal
mines, Ickes got so confused, what with
all his new titles such as solid fuels ad-
ministrator for war, petroleum admin
istrator for war, co-ordinator of fish
cries, and what not, that he called staff
meeting to figure out what else he was.
The White House had overlooked title
for his new job, so lawyers dissected the
executive order and decided he was Fed
eral coal mines administrator" but
Ickes never could remember it.
Mike Straus, Interiors First Assistant
Secretary typed the title on card and
pinned it on Harold's vest so he'd be safe
in conferences.
In day or two, however, 1t turned out
that in the tumble Ickes had taken over
three Government mines on public do
main and inadvertently sent himself
three kilograms authorizing III L. Ickes"
to act as Federal operator"
The reporter asked If 80 jobs were all
he had and Ickes replied. THAT was all
up to 20 minutes ago."
These include % regular Department
of Interior jobs with their scores Of sub
jobs, u outside" jobs such as member,
National Power Policy Committee" and
his four strictly war jobs (solid fuels, pc
troleum, coal mines, fisheries).
The big shots are himself, Straus, Un-
dersecretary Abe Fortas and Assistant
Secretary Oscar Chapman. Each has his
own particular slice of the work done by
$500 department employees in Washing
ton and $4,000 in the field.

nsten to policy decisions and orders tn
carry them out.
Harold says he has a formula for al
ways being "right"-a combination of
quits and gumption" to follow his own
nose, organize, '1aire the best brains
can ind to do my work" and prove that
every one else is wrong!
He recently had to put the heat on
himself, taking himself in hand for
urging, as Interior Secretary, that the
usual 100000 vacationists visit his
22,OO0,0OO acres of national parks at the
same time that he, as solid fuels admin.
lstrator for war and petroleum admin
istrator for war, howled for motorists
and train travellers to stay at home and
save gas, oil and coal.
Here are two extremes in Ickes' DAYS:
One day he called an annual meeting
OF the Virgin Islands Co. (rum makers)
Board of Directors and stockholders and
polished 1t off in 10 minutes.
Another day he heard grievance
committee Of Negro workers on public
domain, listened to an Indian delegation

conference, dashed upstairs to his radio
broadcasting station to join a Catholic
monsignor, Methodist bishop, Jewish
rabbi and Mormon prophet in praying
on a national network for success of
American arms, dashed down again to
hold an oil conference and went home

Your correspondents calm broke at
this point, but Ickes assured me he has
no stool pigeon in the spirit world.
Il knew he had his dogs on the desk"
Ickes smirked, because asked him the
other day if that was all he had to do
and the little jerk said, What t'hells it
to yuh.'"
Honest Harold" comedies he gets his
just deserts for nosing around unknown
to new employees. A stenographer once
barred his way to her boss office:
Hey, who do you think you are,
junior!"
"The secretary" he replied.
Whose secretary"
Ickes said, Forget 1t, sis" and called
the man to his own ONCE.

had called to find out how Harold
handles his 80 wartime jobs.
So the Interior Secretary reached for
a battery of bell buttons. He said to
watch.
He pushed one and told c. E. Newton,
his deputy coal mines administrator, to
release strike-free mine from Govern
ment control.
He pushed another and sent word to
Tom Taylor, United States predator
hunter in Kinney County, Tex. to shoot
a mountain lion that had killed 300
sheep and goats.
A call to Howard A Gray, deputy
solid fuels co-ordinator for war, re-
routed coal train from shipside des-
tination to fuel-famished steel plant.
Ickes glanced at his news ticker and
phoned press room cub that Columbia
River salmon use fish ladders to get up
stream, not down.
He rang again and ordered more pc
troleum for Eastern consumers-and
then, to show off bit, buzzed an Office
boy four floors below to get his feet off
the desk.

shortly after Pearl Harbor when they
caught her with the Prince of Wales
without air fighters to keep OF Jap
torpedo planes.
Lord Mountbaten's service as chief Of
the commandos (chief of combined
operations) encompassed the Dieppe raid
of just year ago which proved so costly
in men in proportion to the number
engaged. Three thousand Canadians
were killed or missing in action In this
connection, no mention of Mountbatten
has been publicized but the first Chief
Commando Admiral Roger Keyes said /:
THE Dieppe invasion rehearsal was ILL
conceived, ill-executed and ill-fated' u
The admiral who commanded the first
commando raid in history-Zeebrugge
October, 1918-was right-hand man to
Winston Churchill for breaking through
the Dardanelles in 1915.
Mountbatten's mother was Princess
Victoria and her mother was Princess
Alice, third daughter of Queen Victoria
and her German consort, Albert.
Devoted to Fathers Memory.
Louis Mountbatten is devoted to the
memory of his father, Admiral Mount
batten, of whom he has written: I'm
memory of my father, the best example
and the finest friend a son could ever
wish for"
When Lord Louis was % years old
he was we'd to Cynthia. daughter of the
first Baron Mount Temple.
Mountbatten in both peace and in the
furnac of naval battle of the very latest
type has been shot through with luck
charmed life when bombs burst all
around him and sharpnel bursts whizzed
all about. There is reason to suppose
this luck will continue to go with his
great ability as modern war leader.
In our own naval ships, the fleet
athletic records contain many entries of
the "Battenberg Cup" for award to the
winning race boat manned by men of
the battle fleet. This cup was put up
by Mountbatten's father when British
naval ships under his command visited
Atlantic Coast seaports in 1905.

suggestion that maybe he was going soft.

Lord Mountbatten has the eXtraor-
dinary advantages of youth combined
with vast naval experience in war
and peace in all parts of the world. Only
43 years old now, he was a captain
in the Kings Navy at the age of ST.
When he was Al he took over the British
Commands from Admiral of the Fleet
Roger Keyes and expanded them into
combined operations" for action on the
sea, on the land, in the air. He was
then advanced to the acting rank of
vice admiral.
At the outbreak of the present war
Capt. Mountbatten took over the COM
mand of British destroyer squadron,
flying his flag in H. M. S. Kelley. His
ships took beating in the evacuation
Of Greece and greater one at Crete.
Two ships were shot from under Mount
batten. He has told how he discarded
his tin helmet as the Kelley sank (the
better to swim, but regretted this when
German planes machine -gunned the sur
vivors in the water.
Commanded Illustrous.
Lord Mountbatten is experienced in
naval aviation, though not in action
he assumed command of the British
aircraft carrier Illustrious, which was
repaired in United States Navy Yard
after surviving a terrific dive bombing
by German and Italian planes off Malta.
Louis Mountbatten has managed to
be in the thick of things in both war
to every principal seaport in all parts
Of the world-serving as aide de camp
to the then Prince of Wales, the present
Duke Of Windsor. Their flagship was

Lord Louis Mountbatten, vice admiral,

preme commander Of the Southeast
Asia 'front.'; target of German big
guns at Jutland and aircraft dive-bomb-
ers at Crete, and sea fighter who has
smelled more German gunpowder in
two world wars than any naval COM
mander In service is "triphibian," says
Winston Churchill, "at home on the
earth, in the air, on the water, and we'll
accustomed to fire"
This great-grandson of Queen Victoria
fthe same as King George VI and the
Duke of Windsor) is the only person of
royal English blood ever to be intrusted
with supreme Allied command in war.
Aside from his royal English lineage,
Lord Mountbatten is sensational sea
fighter in his own right, beginning at
the age of Is. No officer now in the
Kings navy has so often and so des-
perately felt the blows of German guns
from battleships, cruisers; torpedoes
from U boats and bombs and strafing
German airplane machine guns. He
fought them at Jutland and again two
year ago in Grecian waters and in the
Crete evacuation.
Lord Mountbatten is in a class by
himself as sea fighter of royal blood.
His father before him, Prince Louis of
Battenberg, rose by pure merit and hard
work to command of British naval
squadron and he might have changed the
early British naval reverses in 1914
when he was first sea lord of the Ad-
miralty Immediately under Winston
Churchill, first lord, but fate was against
him-the British public said in effect:
None but pure British shall hold high
war Office" The princes grandfather
was Louis OF German Hesse.
Renounced His Title.
Thus 1t came to pass that the father
Of Lord Louis Mountbatten was with
drawn from active duty In the last wal,
In spite OF his great naval ability.
Moreover, at the request Of King George
v, his first cousin, the Prince of Batten-
berg renounced his title. The King re-
warded him with the title of the first
Marques OF Milford Haven and before
he died in 1921 with the highest naval
rank, admiral of the fleet
Lord Louis Mountpatten (anglicized
from Battenberg) was appointed to the
British Navy at the age of 13. Three
years later. as a midshipman, he was
fighting at Jutland on board Admiral
Beatty's flagship, Lion, which was
knocked out by German salvo hits Later
he served on board the Queen Eliza
beth, veteran Of the Dardanelles, and
before the war ended he asked for sub.
marine duty and got 1t.

power and production in accordance with
the changing needs Of our strategy.
IT, when all available labor is ex-
hausted there Is still a shortage and
after review Of contacts 1t becomes ap-
parent that the war effort would best
be served by canceling certain war con-
tracts in an acute labor shortage area
and placing these contracts in another
area where more labor is available, such
action will be taken.
However, the greatest care will be
exercised not to disrupt existing produce
tion and no essential contracts will be
Cancelled and production shifted else
where until after thorough study and
investigation it is determined that labor
is not available in the area involved"
Byrnes Attacks Problem,
In many ways Byrnes, as a part of the
huge job the President has put upon him,
Is attacking this problem of manpower.
In fact, almost every move he makes
touches either directly or indirectly the
question of getting sufficient workers
into essential jobs. He Is engaged Just
now in scaling down Army and Navy
programs that were originally based on
the need to get all of everything at the
earliest possible moment. For example,
he found that the Army had on order an
astronomical number of overcoats. far
beyond any forseeable need. The figure
was scaled down at Byrnes' direction
and thereby men and women who might
have been making overcoats were re-
leased for vital tasks.
At the same time the cry for men and
more men is coming from every side. 10.
seph B. Eastman, director OF the Office
OF Defense Transportation, warned las,
week that crisis in railroad manpowei
is imminent unless positive measures are
taken Immediately. AS though to point
up his warning, the worst railroad wreck
since 1918 occurred on Labor Day. While
the disaster may not have been related
directly to manpower, it served to en-
phasize the need for sufficient men to
keep the roads running safely and ef-
ficiently. Eastman recommended q 13-

circles in this country. One importan,
industrialist. indeed, put it to Johnston
that however much he, the Englishman
might dislike the scheme on principle
after all there wasn't much difference
between paying rent to the government
and paying lt-as many in England still
do-to a ducal proprietor under 999-
year lease.
Johnston spoke up vigorously for his
own vleWs-once in sharp radio debate
with the leftist Harold Laski-and he
has continued to do so since his return to
this country.
After the Revolutionary War" he said.
"our practice of democracy made us an
example for the rest of the world We
can again be an example after this
war. But we can be this only If we con-
vince the great masses of our people
that they can have a higher standard of
living under our economic system than
any other.
1--WE must offer the people the four
decencies:
"A decent wage, decent home, a de-
cent education, decent security.
These are the things the average man
expects today and has a right to ex-
pect.
Il believe the free-enterprise system
has come closer to providing these
things than any other Socialism has
not proved that it can provide them.
Must Make System Work.
1--WE must make our economic system
work. If we do make it work as it is
capable of working-and I am con-
vinced that we will, though not easily
then the world may follow our precept
as so much of it did after the revolu-
ton"
The business people in England, said
Johnston, think differently from ours.
The goal there is a guaranteed profit;
that is why the cartel system appeals
The American businessman thinks of
the profit system as proft-and- loss
system. The Englishman argues that his
is the way to guarantee employment.
Johnston's reply is that you can guar
antee employment under the profit and
loss system and still retain competition
competition that forces people to do a
better job and keeps down prices.
"It is essential" said Johnston, that
we and the British should recognize and
understand our differences. We can't
work through to lasting friendship on
basis of sentimentalism or racialism,
but only on basis of realism"
Johnston spoke with warm admiration
of the spirit of the English people, and
particularly that of the women. Women,
he said, were, almost literally, "in every
thing" In one war plant which he Wis
tied, 90 per cent of the 5000 employees
were women. It was partly because of
the large employment of women, he
said, that production in England had
reached its stupendous figure. Other
causes were the introduction of Ameri-
can mass s-production methods and the
long hours worked-hours sometimes up
to go week, though it had been found
that efficiency declined after 81.
"The English" he said, 'have shown
a simply amazing ability to absorb hard
ships. All things considered, they have
higher tax system than we have, yet
one hears hardly any complaint-on that
score or any other. Even the blackout
has failed to get them down, and they've
had four years of it. When you say
that, knowing the effect of the black
out on the nerves, you pay high
tribute to their stamina"

On the West Coast new system Is to
60 into effect this coming week which
attempts to restore reason and order
in the field Of manpower. Essentially it
is an effort to place control over man
power resources in regional committees.
1t is recognition of the patent fact that
Washington cannot do the job without
invoking the aid and even the direction
of local communities familiar with local
problems
The West Coast is, of course very
special area. 1t has been estimated that
between one-third and one fourth of all
war production is concentrated there.
While this is doubtless an exaggeration,
the proportion is certainly high. It has
made for the most overwhelming human
problems-overcrowding, wartime slums,
very high labor turnover, a constant
migration in and out of the area.
On the coast the pressure for men
and women has been greater than any,
where else. For lack of manpower at
critical points production has fallen
down. In one month the Boeing plant in
Seattle fell below schedule by 40 big
bombers because men and women simply
were not available
The manpower problem on the West
Coast differs in degree but not in kind
from the same problem in other areas
where war production is concentrated.
If the new system works in California.
Washington and Oregon, it will be in
troduced elsewhere. If it fails, then
the strong probability is that President
Roosevelt will ask Congress for a ma
tional service act which would make it
possible to order men into necessary
jobs regardless of their personal desires
or wishes.
Congress Stand Uncertain.
Sentiment has been growing within
the administration for some time for
such an act Such jealous advocates of
all-out production as Under Secretary
of War Robert Patterson have insisted
that only through a compulsory service
act could total mobilization of man
power be achieved. There still is, how
ever, important opposition to COM
pulsory labor act and the opposition
argues, forcefully, that Congress would
never grant such powers in the face OF
the misuse of authority that has already
been granted.
