WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - The
capital has one topic OF converse
ton that went through the holidays,
namely: that if ever session OF
Congress let the country down. the
one just concluded did.
That summer recess. when men,
bers of the House and Senate were
supposed to go back home for a lot
of political pulse-feeling, was to get
great results. Members came back
with dukes up and heads full OF
ideas. Nobody doubted that the
session would be stormy one, but
nobody doubted either that big
things would be done.
So what happened? Three months
later Congress folded for the holi-
days. The tax bill (some $4,000, 000,-
0O0-odd short of Treasury demands)
was left hanging between the House
and Senate. So was the mastering
out pay for service men. So was
the problem of votes for the service
men and women So was the wage
increase for incorporating railroad
workers, in spite of the fact that a
strike impends. So was the crude
oil price increase.
The vital subsidy program, on
which our whole pattern of initiation
or initiation controls may be based.
was sidetracked until February II.

LONDON, Jan. 6.--Germany's big

blasted by the Royal Air Force

Berlin was bombed by Mosquito
raiders.
The double edged assault is cal
culated to disrupt the emergency

Capital from recovery and shatter
the maritime lifeline to the Russian

The Stettin assault was carried
out in bright moonlight on heavy
scale and a storm Of bombs was let
loose on we'll concentrated objec-

Besides hitting Berlin for the sec

the Capital City but one nights
surcease since Sunday, Mosquitoes
also directed other blows at targets
in western Germany and northern
France.
Fifteen aircraft we're lost.
Assorted attacks included 1900
mile round trip to raid Stettin, port
city of 100000 population. and rs
miles northeast of Berlin Stettin
was last hit on April 20 when 80
buildings and a so acre chemical
factory we're destroyed.
Dispatches received in London

BIG PROBE
is STARTED
ON SHIPPING
Cracking Of Liberty Ships
in Alaska Waters In
vestigated Now

SEATTLE, Jan. 6. = Merchant
mariners were ready to jump over
board from Liberty ships at the
drop of the hat" but continued to
sail them for a year lest being ac-
cused of sabotaging the war effort,
one union official told interviewers
after comforting with Sen. Mon G.
Wallgren, here making an investi-
cation into the cracking" of nine
such vessels in the Pacific.
James Greathouse, ''patrolman'
OF the Pacific Coast Marine Fire
men, Oilers, Watertenders and Wi
pers Association, said: I'VE have
kept our mouths shut about war in
formation. If we complained about
the Liberty ships, there would have
been wave OF indignation about
our sabotaging the war effort, so
we kept sailing them. Now, Wall
gren and Magnuson are bringing
out the fact. That's a good thing.
Our men are getting sick and tired
of it. The Government should not
compel any man to go out on those
ships, they ought to be junked.'
Wallgren Investigating
Sen. Wallgren, on investigating
Liberty ships, has called for i'm
mediate halt in conversion of the
ships to troop transports and cited
similarity in the cracking of five
freighters. They were:
The SIS. John P. Gaines, one-half
of which foundered in Alaska wa

loss of 10 lives.

SECRET OF FDR's HEALTH

Secret of FDR's health is COM
bination of three factors-his per-
iodic change of environment, in
trip to Hyde Park or cruise down
the Potomac; his ability to put
aside troubles and sleep soundly;
and his willingness to submit to
limitations of diet.
The President eats three meals
a day like any ordinary citizen. and
he has not gone in for the new
tangled notion that 1t is better to
eat four or five light meals day.
But when he is tired, OF has
cold, he skips a meal entirely, or
simply has milk toast or a bowl
of rice.

The ashingt ton
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
(Major Robert o. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON-FDR came into
1914 with one of the greatest gifts
given to any President or any per-
son-miraculous good health.
In his party on the trip to Cairo
and Teheran was his personal ply
sician, Rear Admiral Ross T. Nc
Intire. AS soon as they got back
to Washington, Admiral McIntire
put his patient on the scales to
see how much he had gained or
lost.
This has been the prime index OF
the Presidents health from the be-
ginning. Since he cannot take
regular exercise, it has always been
a problem to keep his weight within
normal range. When he came
into office in 1888, his weight was
1856, and Mr.. McIntire has held it
within the range of 1874 to 1911 ever
since.
When he looked at the scales
after Teheran, the Admiral's eyes
frightened. The figure was 189.
He was afraid the heavy dining and
lack OF ] swimming might have
brought on extra weight-or, con-
versely, the hard travel and tension
might have reduced the Presidents
weight dangerously.
The fact that he stood this trip
without substantial change of
weight is a good indication of his
physical condition" says McIntire.
Anything under 100 is satisfactory"
The trip was less of strain than
those to Casablanca or Quebec, be-
cause the conferees did not keep
the usual Churchillian hours.
Churchill was not well, and he let
the others go to bed early. There
were no late sessions.
Coming at the end OF hard
wear. this indicates that Roosevelt,
more than any other President, has
mastered the art of health under
strain. For ten years he has main
tanned pace which has killed other
Presidents in shorter time.

but many a city knows that it is a
wise discrimination and that it pre-
vents crime.
We should not know the truth
bout lynchings unless news
papers were free to state that
lynchers were white, while the
victim was colored.
Finally, there is one thing that
should be done. Perhaps Mr.. Ross
can't do it. But there should be deep
investigation to find out whether the
great current wave of racial hatreds
is caused by enemy propaganda. That
has been delayed too long already.

GRAFTON of Labor accepts the program
of priority job referrals and employ
ment ceilings just announced by the
War Manpower Commission.
LET me emphasize, first of all, that
this program is not new and that it
represents no basic departure from
the voluntary system which has en-
abled American workers to surpass all
others in production output.
"This emergency manpower pro-
gram, developed by the Management
Labor Committee of the War Man
power Commission, has for some time
been successfully carried on in areas
of acute labor shortage. 1t is now
being extended to the entire nation
after consultation with the represent
atives of labor and management who
have made thorough study of its op-
erations.
"Such action IS made necessary by
the fact that the pressure of war
needs is bound to become heavier, in
stead of lighter, in the coming months.
Every American must realize this.
"The new regulations will permit
American workers to be informed ac-
curately where and how they can
make their maximum contribution, on
voluntary basis, to war production.
The system of priority referrals pro-
vides the machinery through which
public employment offices in cooper
alton with existing union hiring facili-
ties can keep the workers SO informed.
| This system involves no force and no
compulsion.
| "Therefore, | urge every interna-
tional union, state federation of labor,
city and central body and represent
ative of unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor to
work with local representatives of the
/ War Manpower Commission in devel-
oping programs that will meet the
nations labor needs. know they will
continue to give the same patriotic
support to this program that they
have given in the past"
