The Bureaucracy

No one can question the correct
ness OF President Roosevelt in dis
missing Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Norman NJ. Littell. A subord
mate must be a subordinate. He
must bow to the will and the de
cision OF his chief.
But the question arises: When
does man cease TO be a bureau.

When does he owe a greater re
sronsibility to the American PEG
pie than to his chief or even TO
his President? When must he pur.
sue not the wisdom OF place but the
compulsions OF conscience?
That undoubtedly was the pers-
onal problem that faced Mr.. Littell.
He not only disagreed with his
chief, Attorney General Biddle. but
he suspected the conduct Of the
affairs OF the American people.

may be the best lawyer in the

others were taken from a Kreisler

Serious Condition

Serious Condition
An acute earache, il accom-
panied by fever and prostration in
man, woman or child, is one of the
most serious conditions that can
happen. The ear is haphazard
kind of mechanism. II does seem
as if it could have been constructed
better. Insects have much more
sensible ears than we have. But We
inherited ours from the fishes who
have 10 hear under water and from
the birds who have to have a very
nice sense of equilibrium and have
to know from which direction their
enemies are approaching. So some
how the balancing apparatus OF
the body got closely hooked up
with the hearing apparatus and
then the actual hearing apparatus
had to be separated from the ear
drum by an air space and con-
nected with several little bones
and that is the middle ear, and
that is where all the trouble arises.
The air space Of the middle ear
and the movement of its bones re-
quires that it be not dead space but
that the ear drum have some play
so this is arranged by the Eusta-
chan tube, which goes from the
middle ear to the throat. You can
always prove the function of the
Eustachian tube by pinching your
nostrils together, shutting your
mouth and forcibly breathing out,
when you will feel your ear drums
crack because the air goes up the
Eustachian tube and fills the mid
die ear.
Germs do the same thing under
circumstances A sore throat, a
pharyngitis, or any nose or throat
infection may wander up the
Eustachian tube, light in the mid
die ear, find it is a nice warm place
to breed, 20 they form pus and
you nave ali acu.e middle ear IN
lection. Any of the common child
hood conditions, such as measles,
scarlet fever, or German measles,
are particularly likely to do this,
because they all produce some de-
gree of Inflammation of the throat.
Middle Ear Infection
Naturally a middle ear infection
Is accompanied by fever and indi-
Gated by ear ache. Grandma's ear
drops were usually hot oil with
little camphor because camphor is
natural local anaesthetic. Phenol,
another local anaesthetic and gly-
cerine is another old reliable form
of ear drops.
The only possible objections to
the use of these drops is that the
pus has broken out through the
ear drum and the drops will get in
the middle ear and possibly begin
to wander causing the serious COM
plication Of middle ear infection
mastoiditis. But this is a very
faint possibility and can anyway
be prevented by observing the rule
never to use drops if the ear is
discharging.
Another equally important rule
Is to get q doctor If possible for
any ear ache and have him de-
eide whether the ear drum needs
to be opened or not in order to let
out the pus, In most cases even
though we have valuable modern
drugs which are so useful in such
conditions this should be done.
These modern drugs are the
widely touted sulfa drugs. They
frequently control a middle ear in
lection so that drainage will not
have to be made. They cut down
the complications of mastoiditis to
one-tenth its frequency.

Pay Controls Extended

National War Labor Board has ex-
tended wage controls to all building
contractors in the United States EN-

viously had been exempt from wage
stabiliZation regulations.
The board acted on the recommended
tiOn Of the Wage Adjustment Board,
which found the unrestricted wage in
creases being granted by contractors
employing 5 or less were unstabiliZing
wage conditions in the industry.
Acting on the recommendation Of the
Tenth Regional WLB at San Fran

wage controls to cover small employers
in the automOtive repair and tire in
dustry and the jewelry industry in
that region, which covers California,
Nevada and Arizona and on the
recommendation of the Ninth Regional
WLB at Denver. Colo, it removed the
exemption previously enjoyed by small
employers in jewelry stores and watch
repair establishments in that region,
which covers Colorado. New Mexico,

MRA---A Force To Rebuild Europe

rebuild the nations of Europe on sound
moral foundations. Norway is a clear
example of how a moral force in the
people through the leadership of Moral
Re Armament out-fought and out
thought the NaZis and gave the an
swering theology to race and class
hatreds.
Postwar Europe will be what post
war Europeans are. No change i'm sys-
TEN will be effective unless there is a
change in the hearts of hate-filled,
fear-gripped people.
Moral Re-Armament has brought
new hope to many hearts because it
has demonstrated that men can change,
even i'm war. 1t has restored faith and
moral strength in the midst of CON
fusion and a positive program TO an
swer hate, fear and greed. In country
after country it has created a pattern
of teamwork as the only sure alterna-
tive to dictatorship. 1t is the ideOlogy
of the ordinary man to remake the
world.

AS Allied tanks blast clear the roads
to Paris and Berlin, the classroom
diplomats and parlor politicians have
a shock awaiting them when they set
foot in liberated Europe. These ''ex-
perts" with their briefcases full of
postwar plans, are getting set to move
| i'm. But they will find they have to
deal with people-not politics, and
people who know stark terror, hunger,
and who hate like hell. They are Ordi-
nary people like you and me-but with
a difference. They have looked into the
face of death. They are the products
of modern war with all it's ruthless
savagery.
| That is why the superficiality of
politics will have no reality or mean
| ing for them. The effect of mass de-
structiOn has been wave of fear and
hatred which no political, economic,
or geographical re-organizing can
eradicate. 1t will take mighty heal
ing force to rehabilitate families who
have lost everything, and to restore
peace of mind to mothers who have
watched their children burned alive by
fire bombs. No promise of better
world, however bright, can relieve the
immediate suffering that is going on in
peoples minds and hearts.
MIRA Beats Blitz
1t was during the days of the blitz
In England when bombs rained down
that the spirit of Moral Re-Armament
in the people triumphed above disaster,
and showed them that the answering
theology for the postwar world would
be forged, not out of paper, but out of
the ability of living men and women.
a government official of a neutral cOun-'
try who has seen the ravages of war in
all countries says, I'm Europe it is no
longer what you say, but the way you
live that counts"
That is why the message of Moral
Re-Armament is the only one that
makes life different for people without
having to wait for utopia to take
shape in the distant future. Moral Re
Armament deals with the human
problems the people face now, and ac-
tually takes away fear and gives the
courage and moral strength that
makes every person fit to fight for
new world. MIRA takes away hate and
bitterness and heals the wounds of a
nation.
1t is the forces of MIRA on which
statesmen are pinning their hopes for
postwar Europe. They see the other
forces of class hatred abusing political
power and getting behind popular
causes, but only to substitute them
selves for the present NaZi-cOntrolled
