Ask Million
SooHydroPIdnt

WASHINGTON, May 5 (UP)-
Rep. Bradley, and Senator Van
denburg of Michigan asked
Senate commerce subcommittee
today to include in the rivers and
harbors bill project authorizing
"a $3,500,000 hydro-electric power
plant at Sault Ste. Marie. Mich.
Bradley told the committee that
some legislation is necessary so
the army engineers can extend the
lease with Michigan Northern
Power Co. which expires July J.,
1914.
He said that if the project were
not authorized in the bill he would
press separate legislation giving
the engineers authority TO extend
the lease. He and Vandenberg
maintained, however, that the
plant on the Saint Marys River at
Sault Ste. Marie was necessary
because the old government plant
was in danger Of failing momen-
tarily."
The committee withheld action
pending the close of public hear
ings in another ten days.

But George felt that the present
plan of the War Production board
to encourage the production of
civilian goods as soon as the Euro
pean war ends might be d partial
solution. "If, he said, 1--WE can get
the wheels rolling for peacetime
industry while a lot of men arc
still engaged. in war production,
maybe there won't be such a job
problem when the war Is all over.
PEACE :. Japan
George things that the European
phase of the war is just about end
ed. AS for Japan, he doubts if that
nation will keep on fighting more
than six months after Germany
gives up. When the Japs have our
whole fleet and our whole air force
turned against them, he said,
they'll decide to give up instead of
being blown up.
AS for the treatment of our en-
emy nations after the war, George
has lost lot of his former feeling

Do Something About Ideas

Do you know what to do when you find your progress
locked by the above you? Well, here is what
did when that happened to him.. He is Chris Steen-
rup Born in Denmark he came to this country when he
IA and got job in Schenectady New York, working
the General Electric Company running a punch
resS These monster machines seized sheet of metal,
brew into place and cut into shape easily dress
maker would run pair of scissors through yard of
avon.
One day workman at of the machines made
light wabble, and had two fingers cut off, Chris
hat mans fingers could be protected from such
hines He had idea and he proceeded to do something
about it That night when the supper dishes cleared
away he got out and pencils and started to
teSign machine that it would work efficiently and
yet not mutilate its operator
When he had the design completed he handed it to his
foreman. In that day that the only thing person
could dogo direct to his foreman The foreman inspect
I'd the design said old idea and din amount to
anything Well, that woul be the end of it-ordnarily.
But Chris knew he had good idea and so he tried to
get the foreman from his point of view The fore
man became stubborn a Missouri mule and finally
said the whole thing was crackpot idea.
Chris Steenstrup didn't know what to do. He de-
termined show the the idea would work The
Chris made device and put his machine When the
foreman back he and fired Chris then and
there.
Chris still would not give up SO he went to the plant
manager over the foremans head and showed him the
device The plant manager impressed and put Chris
to work in another department. The foreman who had
fired Chris mad enough to spit cotton.
Chris idea adopted-n fact started the system
of offering cash rewards to employees for ideas During
the first 10 months of 1912, the company paid S115000
to employees for ideas. What happened to Chris? Well
starting with this, he has 3 patents in his NAME and
still working for the cOmpany-this humble foreign
born workman who started something in America.
So if you bottle-necked by the man above you do
all you to work with him and win him over Be pa
tent consderate but also be determined If there
other way then his head The important thing
the value OF the idea, not how one man may feel.

Need Any Food?

Can anybody use 100000 dozen fresh eggs? Or
100000 pounds of meat? Or 5000, 900 pounds of
d? Or S35 900 900 pounds of dried peas and beans
billion pounds of other miscellaneous food
ms?
For in checking his food supply Uncle Sam finds
II he has those quantities of food hand in his
uses-and doesn't know what to do with them. Some,
course will go to liberated countries to keep people
I'm starving while their farms getting back into
Oduction Some may be sold to foreign countries even
ter the ends But it looks now, millions of
unds will left without any apparent method of
poSing of them
Naturally the government can't suddenly release for
assumption in this country it would become ruinous
mpetition for farmers No seems to have the an
-er to what to do with it. Any suggestions?

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1914

He admits he doesn't know too
much about the Japanese people,
but thinks they are so different
from us in their philosophy and
way of living that they must be
watched even more closely than the
Germans. He says that despite all
of the talk about another war with
Germany in 25 years, he feels there
may be a greater danger of a sec
ond war with Japan unless we keep
that mysterious nation under con-
stant guard.

Top-Heavy Planning

About production by the manufacturers of nation
of course vital part of holding to prosperity after
e war. But in all of the elaborate postwar planning
hch is now being carried it would that perhaps
much emphasis being put upon manufacturing to the
scluSion of other interests.
In the fveyear period before the "a per cent of
nployed men and women engaged in manufacture
e but 76 per cent in other enterprises. The
of people employed farms about equal to the
amber in manufacturing plants In addition, II cent
in industries such mining, public utilities trans
nrtation and constructions per cent in trade dis
ibuon and finance; 15 cent in service occu-
ations; and per cent worked for the government
All of these enterprises = particularly farming must
given due consideration along with manufacturing if
e hope to avoid depression.

But George, who four years ago
predicted a sure victory for Roose-
welt, is making no bets on this cleo
ton He thinks it's toss-up.

the job situation would b. after the
war N Europe ends. he was Gls-
couragingly pessini5tic about that.

unemployment. If Dewey wins the
solution will be left in hands of in
dustry. But in either case it's
hard to see how we can avoid some
unemployment problem while our
country is shifting from wartime
production to peacetime produc-
ton"
"Tve saved up over $1,000 worth
of war bonds" George said, which

Today and Tomorrow
ELECTION toss-up
BY DON ROBERTSON

ELECTION -. toss-up
My one-man cross-section of
America, named George, whose
opinions seem invariably to con-
form with the opinions Of the ma
jority of Americans recorded in ma
tion-wide opinion polls, will COM
NIT himself on most anything else
in the world but the election.
He doesn't think the election has
been decided yet, and probably
won't be until voting day. He be-
lieves that Dewey will get some
extra votes if the war in Europe is
over by November. but he says a
lot of Rooseveltians will still want
Roosevelt on hand to deal with the
complicated problems of peace
from the international standpoint.
"The way l see it," said George.
"a lot of people would like to make
a change for Dewey to handle do
mestci problems but keep ROoSe
welt for dealing with Churchill and
Stain. l think there are going to
be lot of voters who will sit on
the fence right up to election day.
Of course a lot of things could hap
pen in the meantime to change the
situation"
George pointed out that, as 4 re-
suit of his series of speeches. the
people are just getting to know
what Dewey thinks about a lot of
things
The Coolidge examiner., 1944-09-22

of leniency. He used to argue that
the German people were all right
and shouldn't lie blamed. but now
he thinks Wei have to get tough
with the Hitler-trained Germans if
we want to be assured of any asst
ing peace. He recommends having
a big force of international police
men in Germany for years to come
or else splitting up the German ma
tion in a way to prevent it from
ever again becoming a major
power.
