first I'd like to say a little more
about Nelson. have cleaned my
views from no key-hole peeping, no
rif1ing of Mr.. Nelson's files, but from
those who know him well, plus some
of my own observations.
There are two reasons why l be-
lieve Mr.. Nelson wants to stay in
government.
One is partly psychological and
has to do with what has happened to
Nelson's own attitude toward gov
eminent, which his closest friends
have watched develop. The other
has to do with this idea of "expan-
sionism," definition of which entails
a number of facts and figures, some

He was used to pressing buttons
and giving orders like most big bust

is a poor buffer against the sings

Donald Nelson REMODEL
By Government Service
Thinks Public Officials Responsibilities Greater
Than disbursements; Believes Expansion
Necessary to U. S.
By BAUKHAGE
Ne,os Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, d. C.
AS Donald Nelson, head of the
War Production board, sips his tea
in Chungking, what is he thinking
about?
He knows that most of Washington
thinks he is through. He knows
that some people think that if he is,
business, big and little, has lost a
friend at court.
He recalls that, before he could
walk up the ramp Of his plane to
take off on this hazy mission to Ca
thay, the President had casually re-
marked at a press and radio con-
ference that the WPB chief would
not necessarily take up his former
duties when he returned.
He knew then that in all probabili-
ty congress would pass the demobili-
zation-reconversion bill which, al
though it does not name the WPB
specifically, nevertheless does give
power to new agency which would
make Mr.. Nelson's organization a
mere appendage.
He knew, too, that many of his
colleagues who remain on the board,
or hold other positions which will af-
feet American economics in the next
months, if not years, hold views con-
trary to his. Privately he calls
them "contractionists," while he
calls himself an "expansionist."" A
battle between these two categories
is going on now. Mr.. Nelson's fate
may influence the outcome.
Because the results of this strug-
gle may affect Americas economy
vitality in the next few years think
it is rather important to consider
Mr.. Nelson's own attitude; an atti-
tude, philosophy, if you will,
which has gradually developed
since he has been in Washington.

Fabric in Decorating
Homes of Tomorrow

F YOU are dreaming about re-
l decorating after the war-and
who is not-put this in your note
book. There will be more lavish
use of fabric in home decoration
than ever before. There will be
many new types of textiles and
many new Weaves. Fabrics will
be designed to wear longer and
to stay clean longer. A feeling of
spaciousness will be obtained by
plotting out some walls with cur
tains. Irregular or badly proper
toned spaces will be brought into
harmony by covering parts of
them; and small windows will be
made to seem high and wide by
covering the wall around them.
The homemaker who can sew a
straight seam will save many a
dollar for she may have curtains
of any length, width or fullness
merely by stitching straight widths
together. And here is a decora-
tors tip for her-allow a hundred

pleats are to be used at the tops of
curtains; and set the machine for

erations that have proved so costly
in lives in the far Pacific and on
the beaches in Normandy. A simple
idea from a mechanic or farmer
might develop a technique that
would preserve the lives of the men
who must 60 out ahead of the main
landing parties and clear the way.
Japs Clever, Too.
The council cited the report
from Saipan that men, clad only in
bathing suits and armed with rifles
and decorating charges, had to swim
to the obstacles off shore and blast
them individually from the path of
the oncoming troops.
The Japanese, too, have shown
themselves ingenious in adapting
simple decoy devices to battlefront
use in attempting to confuse or mis-
lead attacking forces.
One Japanese sniper had rugged
Up an diversified "puppet show to
harass American landing forces.
He concealed six dummies in trees
surrounding his position and at
tached them to his own station with
ropes. When his shots attracted
American fire in his direction, he
would jerk the cord, let one of the
dummies fall from a tree. Each time
the American troops were confident
they had eliminated his sniping post.
Then he'd wait his chance and open
fire again.
Some ideas along that line, de-
veloped by Yankee ingenuity from
close experience from hunting and
fishing, from work around farm
machinery, or from bench and lathe,
the council believes, might go long
way in saving the lives of our fight
ing men and give them opportunity
to develop tactics of surprise that
could come in handy in many
close encounter.
The American people have re-
sponded tremendously to the need
for wartime inventions of all sorts
and character, the council believes,
but there are still hundreds of ways
in which American "know-how" can
be applied to the problems of a me-
chanized war.

Many War Machines
We're Developed by
Civilian Amateurs

Want to help finish winning
the war?
Well, just settle down some
night in that favorite easy chair,
light up the old pipe, take out
pencil and paper and figure out
an easy way of generating an
artificial fog-one that can be
laid just where you want it and
really do the business.
Sounds simple, doesn't it? But the
army would give a great deal for a
practical solution to the problem of
covering advancing troops this way.
It can be done. A number of meth
DDS have been tried out; but most
of the equipment is too big and
cumbersome for effective action at
the front. The army is still looking
for a simple, effective way of pro-
viding this cover.
And while it is looking for way
to create an artificial fog, it is also
On the alert for any new methods
Of dispelling such fog laid down
by the enemy. Here, too, number
Of methods have been suggested,
some have been tried with degree
Of success; but the problem hasn't
yet been really licked.
This is where the National Inven-
tors council comes in. 1t was set
up within the framework of the de-
partment of commerce in 1910 to
serve as a clearing house for just
such ideas that military men might
find valuable. Headed by Charles F.
Referring, past president of the
society of Automotive Engineers,
and composed of the nations lead
ing scientists and engineers, it
serves as a funnel between the
American ingenuity of the man in
the street and the proper military
authorities.
The council is dedicated to the
principle, widely accepted both
within government and outside,
that all modern warfare is largely
a battle of inventive ideas. The
heavily gunned and armored tank.
the superbomber, the aircraft car
rier and the robot bomb-all have
been responsible for major changes
in strategy as well as tactics in the
battles of this war.
Civilian Contributions.
Another thing the council keeps
firmly in mind is the fact that many
of the weapons of modern war, or
the key principles which go into
them, were the product of the civil
ian mind - the submarine, the
torpedo, the motor driven airplane,
the internal combustion engine.
Naturally, most of the major
improvements on the weapons of
war come from expert technicians
or outstanding engineers, thorough
ly familiar with the particular field
IN which they lie. But many of the
200, 900 ideas or inventions that have
been submitted to the council since
its inception have come from the
rank and file of the people.
From farmers, teachers, factory
workers, business men. youngsters
in school, and even a few women,
have come suggestions that have
proved of considerable assistance to
