The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON CMajor Robert s. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON smelly scan- dal involving army airplane patents is being unearthed at Wright Field by Major Bill O'Dwyer, the New York states attorney who helped to clean up Brooklyn.
 The scandal involves several gov ernment officials who have worked inside deals with airplane parts manufacturers. One racket worked this way: when a certain Wright Field employee evolved an idea or patent, he would sell it to an inter- ested company Then he, an offi- cial, would turn around and write the government specifications so that only the gadget he had in- vented could be purchased by the Government.
 Another racket worked this way. when a certain manufacturer wanted to sell special gadget or part such as an oil cooler, it would get a man on the inside at Wright Field to write the specifi- cations so only this particular in vention could be purchased. For doing this the inside man got a kickback.
 This stifled competition and often prevented the best product from being sold.
 The man who first suspected this racketeering was Harold Tal- bot, WIPES crack aircraft produc- tion man. One of the things that made him unpopular with h e Army was his stream of suggested reforms for Wright Field
 Undersecretary of War Patterson, disturbed over smelly reports, ap- pointed the former Brooklyn pro secutor. Bill O'Dwyer, now in the Army, to investigate. He has found so much dirt that his report has

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22--Admin- istration leaders and some high handed bigwigs in the war effort aren't sleeping well these nights. Their nightmare-the 78th Con- gress.
 For two years Congress has ta- ken battering. Public opinion and cn occasion even the Administration knocked down the old fellow in the big black hat and flowing tie, rolled him in the dust and kicked him in the stomach
 But having passed his 78th bi- ennial birthday, he's up again, dust ed of and squared away. And those who tossed haymakers at him in the last round, have taken one look at Congress rejuvenated and are wish ing they could crawl off and hide in a strictly neutral corner.

 Conditions, Snow and Ice

Large downtown stores were closed both Wednesday and Thurs day after an appeal was made to relieve the transportation burden.
 Logging camps generally closed and many lumber mills were forced to shut down on account of log shortage.
 One man was electrocuted by coming in contact with dangling power wire.

The following is humorous pic
ture of the effects of advertising
which appeared in the Richmond
Enquirer of December 20, 1869:
THE first time that a man looks
at an advertisement he does not
see it.
"The second time, he does not
notice it.
"The third time, he is dirnly con-
scious of it.
''The fourth time, he family re-
members having seen something Of
the kind before.
''The fifth time, he half reads it.
''The sixth time, the turn up his
nose at it.
THE seventh time, he reads it
all through, and says Pshaw'
THE eighth time. he calculates,
Here's that COMPOUNDED thing
again.
THE ninth time, he wonders if
there is anything in it.
1.-THE tenth time, he thinks it
might possibly suit somebody else's
case.
"The eleventh time, he thinks he
will ask his neighbor if he has
tried it or knows anything about
it.
"The twelfth time, he rather
wonders how the advertiser can
make it pay.
