Quick Action Blocks
Army Order 10 Desiro,
Subversive Files
BY HELEN LOMBARD,

Secretary of War Stimson's letter
yesterday to Senator Bridges, Re-
publican, of New Hampshire. pledg-
ing preservation OF all War Depart
ment files on subversive activities,
concluded one of the speediest con-
gressional Investigations in history,
it was revealed today.
The action was a result Of a dra-
matte session of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee, which named
Senator Bridges to investigate an
order to destroy War Department
files on subversive individuals and
activities.
The committee convened at 1890
am. Monday. In order to insure
complete secrecy, even the clerks
were barred from the room during
discussion of the matter.
Order Was No Secret.
An order addressed to Maj. Gen.
Clayton l.. Bissell, chief of Army
intelligence, from the Office of 1t.
Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, deputy
chief of staff, instructing Gen.
Bissell to take steps to destroy the
original files on subversive individ-
uals and activities, touched off the
stormy meeting.
This order was no secret in Wash
ington. 1t already had been widely
discussed in State Department cir
clss because of its certain effect on
the visa department and on the
control of the entrance of undesir-
able aliens into the United States.
1t is not known whether Secretary
of State Hull had heard of the
order, but the news had reached
high officials of the State Depart
inent several weeks ago.
The rumor of Gen. McNarney's de-
cision to destroy the files reached the
ears of members of the Senate s
Military Affairs Committee before
the order had been carried out.
Gen. BisselI Hesitated.
Gen. Bissell, doubtful of the legal
ity of the measure, delayed its exc
cution and the whole matter was
thrown eventually into the lap of
the Military Affairs Committee,
where the implications of the order
were placed squarely before all the
members.
A subcommittee composed of Sen
ator Bridges and Senators O'Ma-
honey, Democrat, of Wyoming and
Chandler, Democrat, of Kentucky
was appointed and authorized to in
vestigate.
The subcommittee did not ponder
long over the method of procedure

LIGHTERS

LIGHTERS
 Cigarette lighters have not been hit too hard by wartime shortages. Consumers Union found in tests of IA brands. True, many brands are ''Not Acceptable" But you can still get good lighter at fair price.
 Steer clear of Fox-Hole and other "cat-tail" lighters. Sometimes these lighters work but more often they don't. When they do work they smell bad and make your cigarette smell the same way.
 GU tested lighters first of all for reliability. Each lighter was ad. justed to top efficiency. Then 25 attempts were made to strike a light, with credit given for each successful try. GU also tested for windproofness, fuel capacity, work. manship and other factors. II counted the number of operations necessary to light cigarette and also took into consideration wheth. CT the lighter could be used for cigarettes only or for pipes and cigars as we'll.
 The Dunhill at $27.5O (sterling silver) was the best of those which GU tested. But it was considered overpriced. Other good lighters are the Thorens (non-automatic) at $.50, Dunhill Service at $7.5O (sil- ver) and $2 (enameled), Lektrolite at $1.48.
 WATCHES
 Most well-known brands of Swiss watches have movements of about the same quality, Consumers Union found in a survey of the watch market. These movements are generally re- liable and the watches are a safer buy than unknown brands which they may sell at lower prices.
 This doesn't mean that a little known brand can't be good. It means simply that the non-expert buyer is safer with a 17-jewel watch bearing such a name as Longines, Cruen or BuIova.
 The following are likely to be good brEs, GU says: PIX (Army Post Exchange) IS or IF jewel watches sold at SIS to $2O, lowest price lines of welI-known brands such as Bulova, Cruen, Wittnauer, Longines, Benrus, etc.
 The old American-nade standbys- Hamilton, Elgin, Illinois and Wal tham-are not now available.
 FOUNTAIN PENS
 Good fountain pens are an ex- pensive gift this Christmas, Con- sumers Union found in survey of the market. Medium-priced pens of the four leading brands are gen orally unobtainable. If you want Parker, Waterman, Shaeffer or Eversharp you'll probably have to buy it as part of pen and pencil set costing $l3.75 or more. Some

The President complied with a warm smile. SALVAGE collectors gathered up several bundles of paper from a Chattanooga street corner. Then the telephones began to ring in the circulation department of the NetOS-Free Press. The bundles had been dropped off trucks for car riers.
 THERE was plenty of sentiment at the last meeting of the New Haven Central Labor Council. First the delegates congratulated Treas urer August Striby on his fiftieth wedding anniversary. They also felicitated Mrs. Striby, of course. The meeting was the first since Harry Feinmark was promoted to his State Federation post, and everybody joined in the good wishes. It was real old-home week, and everybody went home happy. A SUGGESTION by two workers at the New York Safe & Lock Co.,, organized by the AFL, has brought them honorable mention awards from the War Production Board and plaudits from welders across the land. Their idea of coating welders' window shields with Iac- quer to preserve them from scratch burns and to increase visibility is applicable to every arc-welding operation. In continuous spot welding it was sometimes necessary to change welders' glasses three times a day because of lowered visibility caused by scratch burns. Since using the lacquer, glasses have been used for five weeks in a welding test.
