up to four full time members
will soon be carried out accord
ing to Richard Gosser, who is
manager of the Political Action
Committee. Mr.. Rusch and Lor-
eta Schillinger are the only
full-time workers now in the
PAC office.
In accepting the chairman
NM&2 of the committee, Mr..
sysSkh stated, 1--WE expect to
@nsify our activities from
now until election. We ex-
pect to have a chairman elected
in each ward and township
which has not already been or
ganized, and will have meetings
in some ward or township
nearly every night"
Mr.. Rusch said that the
speakers committee would have
its members going before all
unions to recruit members for
the Political Action Committee
and to get the workers to reg
lister.
Stress Registration
Most important consideration
now before the Political Action
Committee is to get the workers
to register. Rusch indicated that
this would be the task to which
the committee would turn it's
immediate attention. He said,
sit takes votes to elect people
to office and our people are not
responding as rapidly as we
would prefer to see them re-
spond. The time is very short
for registration, ending October
7, this should spur our people
to action because they will lose
more than they now realize if
they fail to elect officials
friendly to labor"

tive committee have expressed

Registrations
Are Logging
In Toledo

Registrations for the 1914
election are tagging in Toledo
and Lucas County according to
Board of Elections officials
who say that the number of
people qualifying are below
normal for a presidential year.
Officials of the CIO Political
Action Committee state that
preliminary checkup reveals
more than so per cent of To-
ledo workers are ineligible to
vote and admit that unless a
radical change is made, labor
is going to be hard pressed to
elect officials friendly to it.
With but As registration days
left, the registration drive of
the state and Toledo PAC will
be intensified. To bring this
county near its 1910 voting
strength, an average of more
than 1000 registrations per day
must be maintained from now
until October Z, the last day for
registering under Ohio election
laws.
Leaders Active
Union leaders are making
every effort to get their men,
bers to register before the last
minute rush. Regional Director
Richard GoSser of the UAW-
CIO, manager of the Political
Action Committee stated that
the most important thing at this
time was registrations and said,
1--WE know that the workers are
favorable to candidates who are
friendly to labor, but you can't
elect candidates by being favor
able. You must vote"
Mr.. Gosser expressed his
great concern with the slowness
of the registration when he
said, present rate of registra-
ton which is far behind four
years ago, give us great con-
Germ. We wou' feel lot more
confident of the outcome of this
years election if $4,000 more
people were registered. We can
not win unless at least $4,000
more registrations are obtained
between now and October 7.
We can win decisively if our
people will begin now to quail
fly for the November election"
Plans for the registration
drive will be announced with
in the next 10 days by the
Political A Actio Committee
which is organizing for con-
centrated effort in every CIO
plant in Toledo.

"The President said naughty

And chat IL Was you should

"Hinky dinky pdrlez-Uous'"
THE President allowed the bad
L word TO serl his lips-as we
say In Brooklyn-after Mr.. Bert
Andrews of the New York Her
ald-Tribune asked If he had
made his election bet. Mr..
Roosevelt said he had made a
bet of 25 cents with a man on a
train.
Mr.. Andrews, who seems TO be
light-minded and also nosey,
asked the President the identity
of the man. The President said
il was a very dangerous ques-
ton for Mr.. Andrews to ask
because the answer would be
that IL was none of his d-n
business.

spaces is that / just can't bring

word. But come around behind

how we guffaw and carry on at
the White House press confer
ences.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the bet
was not on the general outcome
of the election but on a certain
state. A lady reporter piped up
and asked if he had given any
odds.
/ do not think this question
was answered. Anyway l have
nothing in my notes. Then an
ohter reporter asked if he hadn't
disqualified himself by betting
on the election. The President
said he hadn't because the bet
was made outside New York
State.
There had been previous dis
cussionS about Gen. Stilwell and
the Chinese situation. A high
minded journalist who obviously
deplored the lapse into levity
interrupted;
"Now TO go back to China"
Well, the President cut him
short with a nifty that laid us
in the aisles. He said he couldn't
go back 10 China because he'd
never been there.

10 an infanfryman at Fl. Me-
Cleiian, Ala. These wrifinss are
excerpts from his letters to
friends at the office.
THEY tell me that one of the
l. magazines had an article
about supply sergeants. 1t was
titled THE Meanest Man in the
Army" or something like that.
/ wish I'd seen a copy of 1t, and
am sill hunting for one, but so
far it's gotten away from me.
You see, I seem to have
turned into a jack-of-all-trades
around here. I've been a pla-
toon sergeant, a reporter, an
instructor, a battalion headquar-
tiers clerk and an assistant sup
ply sergeant, and never know
when they re going to switch
me from one job to another.
Usually they put you in one job
and let you stay there, but not
me.
So, with some supply ser
geant's experience, I'm natu-
rally interested in what people
think about them. I'm pretty
sure that some of the boys here
think that I'm just as bad as
the rest of the supply sergeants.
And, to be honest, I remember
some Of the things I used to
think.
Whenever a man needs some
thing, he gallops of to the sup
ply room and asks for it.
Everybody knows that recruit
is QUILTED with everything he
needs. from a haircut to a
toothbrush.

The father told me TO come
back any time at all, when my
boy friend took me there IL

by telephone he never asks me
to come.
Should I visit them without a
definite invitation and try to be
their friend? Or should / ignore
them?

DEAR 3. B.-If you have ac-
curately described the mothers
attitude, she is a very disagree
able woman, whose lack of real
kindness and indifference to
good manners would make her
a mean adversary in relation to
a daughter-in-law w h m she
didn't like.
And obviously she doesn't like
you.
Her hostility has its roots in
jealous resentment of her sons
devotion 10 you and your infiu-
ence over him.
She is not ready, and I doubt
that she ever will be ready. to
give him up gracefully TO wife.
II you insist on standing up TO
the uneven struggle, the best
you can do is 10 counter with a
blend of dignity and Christian
charity. behaving toward her
with tranquil detachment,
which means trading perfect
courtesy for incivility when in
her presence and keeping out of
her way and banishing her from
your mind as much as possible.

handing out things. After a
man once has his outfit, he has
to turn in a WORKOUT article be-
fore he can have new one in
place of II. And woe to the
man who tries any smart tricks.
For example, a new type
jacket is issued. Everybody
wants the new style, and can't
wait until the old one is worn
out and ready to be turned in
for salvage. So what do they
do? They take a knife and
cut a few holes In the jacket,
and turn 1t in for salvage.
What happens The supply
sergeant says:
"Oh, no, you don't. That
isn't worn. That's been cut.
Brother, you're gonna pay for
that"
So the soldier ends up by
signing a statement of charges,
and the price of the ruined
jacket comes out of his pay.
Because the supply sergeant,
having been a rookie himself
once, is well versed in the vari-
Gus tricks used in such in
stances.
Or a man, ordered to scrub
out his hut, or his leggings, or
his fatigues, demands a cake Of
soap. Or he needs oil, or
patches, or new electric light
bulb, or a tent pole. or a keeper
for his rifle sling. Well, the
army Is pretty careful the way
it throws stuff around. The
supply sergeant gets only so
much; the only way he can
make 1t stretch is to develop a
mean streak.
