SENATE:
Hit appointments


Plans to hurry through the ap-
pointments of Joseph c. Grew as
Undersecretary Of State and Will
liam L. Clayton, Nelson Rockefeller
and Archibald MacLeish as assist
ant secretaries in the department
struck snag in the senate, where
a rebellious contingent forced hear
ings to be held on the principals
fitness for the Offices.
Leading the attack was Ken
tucky's Happy Chandler, who, in
referring to the appointments Of
Businessmen Clayton and Rockefel-
Ter, declared: &C I was told
that the poor folks would be given
opportunities as result of the cleo
ton. . . Instead of the poor peo-
pie obtaining the jobs, the Wall
Street boys are getting them. ;"
In pressing for confirmation of the
appointments, Texas Tom Connally
decried the allegation that business
interests would use their position to
influence policy, declaring: g.
Every senator who knows the Pres
ident knows that he is going to DOM
mate the foreign policy of this gov
eminent. An assistant secre-
tary of state will be an adj
ministrative officer. :"
Stifen Policy
First official act of Secretary Of
State Edward Stettinius was to blast
at Britain's and Russia's maneuver-
ing in liberated European countries
to establish governments favorable
to their interests.
Declaring g. We expect the
Italians to work out their problems
of government along democratic
lines without influence from out
side ;" Stettinius aimed his
blast at Britain's objections to the
naming of Count Carlo Sforza as
foreign minister in new italian
administration. Britain's attitude, it
was said, was the result of Sforza's
anti-monarchical tendencies.
Although not specifically men,
toned, Russia could get no comfort
from Stettinius' statement, which in
directly hit at Moscow's political ac-
tivities in reoccupied countries by
declaring: 60. This policy would
apply to an even more pronounced
degree with regard to governments

 Most applicants to date are hon. orably discharged veterans available for immediate employment, almost all with experience in entertaining either in recreation halls or on radio units of the armed forces.
 A second addition day = Wednes- days from g a. m. to noon-haS been added because of the volume of applications.

 N. E. Dodd, dignified chief of the Agricultural Adjustment Agency once led a band - giving out with equal ease on the trumpet, cornet, baritone or trombone.
 But that was only sideline with Dodd in 1900 when he got side tracked in Powder River Valley, Oregon, when he was en route to Alaska in search of gold.
 During his first three years at Powder River, his more important occupations included druggist, cat tie rancher, postmaster, police judge, and supervisor oyer installa- tion of the first electric lights and telephones.
 Once getting down to the busi- ness of cattleman, Dodd built Sev- eral warehouses at Haines, Ore, opened the first feed grinding mill, bought and developed a blaming and saving mill, plush a lumber yard, and operated stockyards which he still runs.
 Even before 1917 "Ed" Dodd represented Baker county farmers, and during World War I acted as regional supervisor of wheat mat ters for the Food Administration.
 Sticking to the administrative end of agriculture, he turned live stock inspector for the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corp, county chair man of the 1883 wheat control law, chairman of the Oregon agricul- tu-al conservation committee and finally became field representative for the AAA in the western region. He became assistant director of the region in 1888. and in 1943 took over the job as national AAA chief in Washington.

THE PRIVATE PAPERS OF A
 NEWSPAPERMAN


 A book reviewer in the Sat. Rev. of Literature attacks this report CTS exposes of the Argentinazi re- gime. He says we are uninformed. The reviewers remarks are based on a book about Argentina which at- tempts to whitewash its Hitlers. This gives you an idea of the type of bunk 1t is. The author whines: sfBullying is not the way to win Argentine's hearts and minds. On the contrary, the threat of Sanc- tions, economic or political, is a sure way to consolidate the mili- tary government" That's the same argument appeasers used for pampering Hitler. That is appeaSe- ment We have charged (and proved) that the Argentine govern ment is Nazi and is aiding Ger many to kill Americans. That fact has been confirmed by almost every newspaper and magazine in Amer ica. It has been confirmed in pulp lie statements from the State De- partment-and the President of the United States.
 It is difficult to look at the rec ord of Joe McWilliamS without using a gas-maSk. Indicted as sedition- iSt, a confessed Hitlerite, a ja1l- bird, a Nazi Bund supporter, a .sx.k fr,n NrYolHi11n cfiTR
 McWilliamS hasn't been attending the sedition trial. |. He is busy" working at the Western Shade Cloth Company in Chicago .. The owner of this company is named William H. Regnery, who arrogantly says he knew McWilliams' record when he hired him :. But more startling is this: The Western Shade Cloth company is now working on war orders! ... In other words man who wanted the Axis to win the war
 lis being paid by company whose profits come from American tax payers As taxpayer, how about a Congressional probe to learn how the Western Shade Cloth company received its war orders?
 Although it receives little fanfare the battle against the Nazi Bund continues. Almost every week more BundiSts are interned, denaturalized or jailed Last week the long arm of the law finally reached Louis Archer Zahne. He is charged with giving false statements to an Army Exclusion Board-and faces 30 years in jail if convicted :. Zahne worked with jailbird Fritz Kuhn, the Bund Chief. He spent ten years as a Na1-paid speaker travelling around America praising Hitler He was one of the leaders of the Friends of New Germany-which later be- came the Nazi Bund r.. The fact that it has taken more than ten yeayg to catch up with some Nazis in America-is the best squelch for the idiots who ignored the Nazi internal threat before the war-ano are still unconcerned about it :. Remember this: It's taking us long CT to get rid of the NaziS in Amer ica-than it will take us to lick both Germany and Japan.
 The book of the week recommen- dation is Some of My Best Friends Are Soldiers" by Margaret Halsey. By all means read it It is witty and wise-and will make a better American out of you |. |. Miss Halsey denounced bigots with great force when she writes: "Rab- inoWitz! zablowski, Murphy and Vi- tellol They are not what some people call fine old American names. But they made fine old American soldiers-and fine old American corpses!" Try THAT one-on vollr fine old American friends.

Because there are so many phon- ies in lifs particularly in the world of Make Believe, where often those who have arrived" seek to cover up humble beginnings, even to the extent sometimes of assuming a glamorous past that 1t is pleas ure to come across someone like Oracle Fields who was never a one to mince matters. Here is a story about her which Earl Mullin passes on:
 Once upon a time there was a little street singer in Lancashire, England, who warbled for pennies or whatever her hearers and pas sersby were wiling to toss her way.
 Most of her tunes she picked up at the local theater, while deliver ing the laundry her mother took in from the performers. Later, when family fiannces approached an all- time low, she worked in a cotton mill.
 But that was before the dawn of her great career.
 Not many years later this same girl, as Oracle Fields, was the dar- ling of the British Empire, toast of the continent, and one of the high est paid entertainers in show busi- ness.
 In more recent years Americans have heard her, too, on the stage and screen as well as the radio to which she returns on November IA as the star of a new WATR Blue Network program titled the Oracle Fields Show.
 It was that first job in the cot- ton mill that really started Gra- cie on the road to fame. With her flair for minicry she often enter

The product, known as 'allyl starch" is resistant to acid, alkali, and solvents, the departments scientists report. Alcohol, gasoline and acetone spilled on surfaces coated with the substance leave no mark, the experiments show.
 Properly cured coatings will withstand temperatures of 400 de- grees Fahrenheit, and the qualities Of high gloss, hardness and ade- quate fiexibility further enhance its possibilities for a variety of uses. It is easily applied to wood, metal, paper, glass, tetiles and wide list of other substances.
 The discovery is now in the enli-commercial stage in experi- Inents which are being carried on as the eastern regional laboratory in Philadelphia, the department reported.

l tained fellow workers-until one day her foreman heard her imita- tion of him. She got the sack. Just sixteen at the time, Oracle determined to capitalize on her ac- ting ability. A pantomime part in an obscure production was fol- lowed by better roles, and before long she landed in modest road show which was such hit in the stocks it was taken to London.
 Before long she was doing six shows daily in a legitimate play, vaudeville, and a nightclub. Her popularity gained by leaps and bounds, and in 1925 she began an engagement in By Request" that was to last three years.
 |
 In 1928 the late King George V and Queen Mary called her for a command appearance.
 America, by now, wanted to see and hear this darling of the Eng fish stage, so she crossed the Att lantic. But fate was not kind. An American manager, assuming her British humor would not click, pre- \ Sented her as torch singer. But the torch flickered out and she returned to London.
 In 1881 Oracle had her first try at the films, her first try being good enough to land her in the top brackets of British film stars. On her next visit to the United States she found the American pub lie receptive to her rollicking style and bouncing sense of humor. She was applauded in films, on the stage and over the air.
 During the war years she has sung for CTS of all nationalities in all parts of the, country, and her efforts on behalf of the British War Relief have netted more than a million dollars.
 At an earlier date in her career she sang, with a launch as a stage, for personnel of sixteen British battleships; she even had fighting shap named for her.
 In 1942 Oracle began nightly fve-minute program over the WIZ Blue Network, and has been heard over the air almost continuously since then, joking and singing her way into the hearts of millions.
 She is married to Monty Banks, who was her film director in Eng land before he became her husband. Together they lived at Santa Mon- ica. Californit, where the grounds of their spacious home lists such att fractions as a swimming pool and outdoor gymnasium.
 And just to give it the right touch, there is pleasant cottage on the grounds where her parents ive-a far cry, indeed, from the early days in Lancashire.
