The W Washington
Merry Go Round
J By DREW PEARSON
major Robert s. Allen on active duty)


WASHINGTON. -Another of
Jesse Jones interesting banking
deals has just leaked out.
This time the genial Jesse has
extended his generous bank-roll-
on behalf Of the U. S. taxpayer
to the Aluminium Corporation OF
Canada to build giant power
plant in the wilds of Quebec, RI
valing Boulder Dam. There it will
be beyond U. S. control, will es-
cape U. S. taxes, and will increase
the control which Alcoa holds in
both Canada and the United States.
The Alcoa power project to
which Jesse Jones has been SO
generous is the Shipsshaw develop
ment. on the upper Saguenay River.
To build it, the Aluminium Corpor-
alton has received from Jesse a
loan of $68 100000 Of U. S. Gov
eminent cash. Furthermore, Jesse
is charging no interest.
But most interesting of all, he
provides that if the plants con-
tract is cancelled before Decem-
Der 81, 1916, the balance OF the
500 800, 900 not repaid by the de-
livery of aluminium will remain in
Alcoas hands and need not be re-
paid to the United States.
Since everyone hopes the war will
be over long before the end OF
1945, in which case the U. S. plans
to cancel all war orders immediate
", the Aluminium Corporation
stands ready to get nice little
windfall.

as qualifying as pilot instructor.
In addition, each had at least i've

Phoebe Omlie. veteran woman
pilot and CAA education specialist
in charge of the Tennessee project,
points out that they can accept
any of the offered jobs and still be
directly in the war effort.
In way, this is essentially state
project but only because Tennessee
has seen fit TO divert its CAA funds

states have similar projects to a
lesser degree--all under CAA super
vision.
If the CAA appropriation goes

MORE MONEY FROM JESSE

In addition to this $68,500,000 adj
vanced without interest, Jesse also
has advanced the Aluminium Cor
poration $34 100000 at three per-
cent. In other words, the original
$68 500, 900 will just about pay for
the cost of the power plant. after
which Alcoa can borrow up to
$34 100000 at three percent to OPP
crate it. Thus Alcoa has no ex-
pense and absolutely no risk.
While Jesse was helping promote
this giant plant in Canada, with its
large use of strategic materials,
various American public power pro-
iects, which could have supplied
ample power. were abandoned for
lack of strategic materials.
Among them were the Shasta
project on the Sacramento River;

BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 2T.-Be-
fore and after Pearl Harbor,I wrote
several stories about what women
pilots were going to do in this war.
When the Civil. Aeronautics Adj
ministration was forced to aban-
don its training of women pilots,
I received number of letters TO
which there was no answer. The
ladies had beens grounded and told
to 60 home and tend to their knit
ting. Congress Through its powers
Of appropriation, but with recon-
mendations from other quarters
had decreed that the CAA had bet
ter expend its energies and funds
training men who might be useful
to the Army and Navy air forces.
Now comes word from the CAA
that it has graduated ten girls from
the "Women's Instructor Training
School at Nashville. Tenn, and
that these may be "forerunners of
thousands of new women instruct
ors."

That has familiar sound, but
one not too much to be relied upon,
in view of what has gone before.
Nevertheless, in spite OF all the Sc
crecy about women aviators in the
war effort, the girls in the CAP,
CAA, and Air Transport Command
have remarkable record. 1t may
be that the wall is finally breaking
down.
Using the Tennessee record as
lever, the CAA is asking Con
gress for a supplementary appro-
priation OF $2,5O0,000 to turn out
500 more women instructor pilots
within six months and backlog that
with 400 more in training.
In view of that. 1t may be well

NEW DOC POUND PLANS APPROVED
Warden and Aide to Be Provided With Suit
 able Quarters

AS soon as funds and priorities for materials are ready, construc- tion of the newly proposed dog pound near the municipal abattoir may begin, declared the board of works at its meeting last night.
 This resulted after the committee on land made a thorough investi- gation of the plans which were de- signed by the engineering depart ment and which revealed that the building would amount to $7,500 with Q small offivce attached, filing cabinets recording the names and pedigree of the dogs, garage for the car used by the dog warden and his assistants, and shower baths for them after they complete their jobs of running down stray dogs in swamps and woods, as well as sleeping and eating quarters for the dogs while they are alive and a nice gas chamber for the death of unclaimed animals.
 Th0 Connecticut Humane society has condemned the present pound in the yard of the street department as unhygienic and cramped, and lacking in the facilities necessary to give dogs a proper living while they live and a fitting "end" when they are ready for that.

CITY SECURES
 RIGHT OF WAY
Hecla Street Pumping Sta= ton May Be Abandoned
 in Near Future

City Engineer Charles A. Root recommended at last nights meet ing of the board of works the pay ment of I$2OO to the Nuhn inter- ests for a right of way from the Naugatuck river to Hecla street for the second pipe line. Engineer Roots proposal came after he had had series of discussions with the Nuhn representatives
 The second pipe line will run through this vicinity to the pres ent Hecla street pumping station which supplies water for the high sections of the city. However, when the Pitch brook reservoir is finished water coming through the second pipe line will have enough pressure so that the Hecla street pumping station will be unnecessary.
 The works boar dsent the recom- mendation to the board of aldermen with the extra notation by the en- gineering department that the $2OO charge be applied against the sewer assessment levied against the Nuhn interests.
 The works board received ap- proval from the aldermen for hold ing a hearing on the layout and grade of Warner street, and re- quested the engineering department to prepare maps and profles and make title searches.

CARSON AGAINST 40% LIMITATION
Police Superintendent De- clares City Needs More
 Busses for Workers !.

Enforcement of the statute ltnitr ing bus standees to 40 per cent o1 seating capacity would be "se- were detriment to the war effort here," said Police Supt. Daniel J, Carson last night, after attending meeting of state, police and trans. portation officials in Hartford yes- terday afternoon called by Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin to discuss tho acute bus transportation problem in Connecticut.
 All the conferees agreed that tho action of the state police in. enforc- ing the 40 per cent law on Sunday had dealt crippling blow to bus services, leaving passengers at ter- minals and at stops all along the roads.
 Governor Baldwin promised mod iflcation action on the law, follow ing the filing of recommendation which he has requested from the public utilities commission. He in- sisted, however, that the safety fac- tor must be recognized in the rec concentrations.
 Governor Baldwin blamed the problem on the Hack of courage or realistic approach on the part of the OPA and ODT," and denounced "the lack of understanding and CO., operation" evidence by federal agen- cies toward "overburdened trans- portation facilities of this state, ono of tba co11ptru'c 1aroect y,rrdy,c. CTS of war materials .. ."
 As for Waterbury, Supt. Carson said, it probably more than any city in the state needs either more busses or an increase in the OPA allotment of gasoline to busses now operating. The topography of Wa terbury, with its many steep hills. creates danger which greatly con- cerns us.''

 Has 6 Major Types Dr. Marseille has established six major character types for this kind of analysis. All overlap, but in gen. eral they are as follows:
 l. Individual. This script indi- cates a well-adjusted, Well-integrat- ed individual who manages his life well. He is the best risk. 2. Dishonest. This is the hand writing of an untruStWorthy per- son who plans to try to cheat the company. He belongs to small but important group.
 3. Regular fellow. He is decent honest, person, willing to give his best, but he exists on a low educa- tional and low economic level. 4. False beauty. The artificial beauty of this writing hides an un- reliable personality.
 5. Intellectual. This individual is honest and means well but is mal- adjusted and mismanages his af- fairs because he lacks understand ing and education. A majority of applicants fall into this class.
 6. Expansive. This type overbuys, charging whatever appeals to his senses and worrying about it later. 1 He lacks foresight.

looking at your handwriting Whethe
 A large Chicago mail-order house considers Dr. Marseille such a good risk it has adopted his method.
 He checks only those Would-be customers the company already has set aside as questionable risks. This it does by using what is known as the mouse method" A list of 13 questions are given the applicant. His answers are rated by points.
 Married? Yes. That's good. Children? Eight. That's bad. Size of apartment? One room. That's bad. And so on. Anyone scoring more than 70 points is regarded as a questionable customer. Anyone scoring 120 or more is definitely adjudged poor risk.
 Stresses Personality
 Dr. Marseille is asked to specify which of those applicants between the scores of 70 and 120 are, after all, good credit risks. He has trained five experts to do this routine job, remaining as consultant to the con- pany. They handle from 400 to 500 cases day.
 Dr. Marseille's thesis is that hand writing reveals personality, and that personality is a better gauge of ability and willingness to pay than credit reports made by investigators. He acknowledges that because he deals with that most ineXact of all scientific studies-the human being many variableS must be consider ed
 But he can determine predis- position to pay bills. His proof lies in the fact that he scores hits o1 from 70 to 80 per cent of a balanced sample-such as 500 cases prevl- ously known to be half good and half bad.
 He admits he makes mistakes. But, he points out, it is better to returned from a vacation spent in New York.
