~ JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON, Dec. % Up
This story about the State
Department is astonishing in a
way. Nothing like it has hap
pened before.
If Secretary of State Stettinius,
new in his job, has been trying
to reorganize the department. IL
has been sticky with secrecy.
You can get information there,
sometimes. Too often it of
the record" or mot for sttribu-
ton"
Which means: Mister, II you
want to print it, it's your baby.
I didn't tell il TO you.
Stettinius is determined TO
humanize the place, loosen 1t up,
warm it up, and wipe out UNI
necessary secrecy.
Yesterday he called $500 De-
partment employees from their
desks to Constitution Hall. 1t
was the first time they had been
brought together.
SEES GULPS
He wanted to introduce to
them his new top aides: Under
secretary Joseph c. Grew, and
assistant secretaries N e son
Rockefeller. Will l.. Clayton,
James c. Dunn and Archibald
MacLeish.
On the way over could see
with the minds eye how some Of
the Departments o ] d t | m e IS
would take all this: They'd gulp
with dismay, as If someone had
knocked their hats off.
And I thought, too, that this
thing might be little on the
phony side, that Stettinius, in his
eagerness to loosen up the De-
partment, might be resorting to
the kind of good fellowship
you'd find at a salesmen's lun-
cheon.
But after u. S. Marine band
had played briefly Stettinius and

The Astonishing
State Department

his aides walked out on the
stage. He told the $500 some
thing like this:
"Tm recognizing the Depart
ment. These are my new aides
/ wanted you to meet them and
see them. We all have a lot OF
work TO do. It's important work
and we'll have to work together.
We're going to expand the de-
partment. You'll have opportun-
tiles for promotion"
SIMPLE, DIRECT
That was it. 1t was probably
the most simple, direct, human
thing I've seen among top off,
Gals in Washington. 1t certain
ly was one of the most sensible.
| think maybe most of the
$500 felt that way, too. Maybe
seeing it happen in the State
Department makes it seem much
more human than if 1t had hap
pened anywhere else.
But there was on Earring note:
Stettinius told the newspaper
people present that the whole
thing-even the fact of the meet
ing-was off the record.
Here was an open, friendly
act by Stettinius. 1t couldn't
possibly be criticised. Yet it
couldn't be published. Some
one-apparently his information
service-advised him that way.
At least he so indicated when,
hours later, the ban was lifted.
1t may appear from all this
and that's the intention-that,
even though Stettinius has the
best goodwill, he has plenty OF
work ahead TO root out the de-
partment's long tradition of Sc
crecy on practically everything.
SECRECY IN VEINS
Some-certalnly not all-of
the Departments work may be
of such delicate and profound
Importance that the public can
not be informed on a day-by-
day basis.
But some employees there
seem to have secrecy in their
blood and bone. AS mentioned
above, some Of it can be absurd.
For example:
Some time ago-before Stet-
tinius' time-I asked a very re-
sponsible official how the var
ious secretaries of state since
Wood Wilson was president.
This was a harmless question,
dealing with ancient history and
got the answer. But then the
official said: This is off the
record, Of course"
"Why?"
ooh, this isn't news" he said.
ats news to me-" l said. $50
maybe it would be news to 9TH
er people"
ooh, know" he said. "But

and many of us find il hard 10
remove the stains especially
when they are so far down in

give up and let the stain

but every one does like TO keep

and without poking all sorts Of

the depths OF the vase.
Tea leaves and vinegar are
the secret. Just use some old

them with vinegar and let them

After you pour them out in the
morning just wash the vase with
warm soapsuds and water and
the vase will come clean in a

Hard-B
Droft Policy
Is Expected

WASHINGTON, March IA -
>H) - President Roosevelt is
expected today to ask local
boards TO adopt hard-bolled
policy on the drafting of faith
ers, in order TO protect vital war
industries from growing mill
tary drain on their skilled help.
Mr.. Roosevelt, it was predict
ed, will clarity" his memoran-
dunn OF Feb. 20, which called for
review OF all occupational de-
1erments and Whlch,-some Of
llcials assert,-has prompted
many draft boards to turn to
industrially deferred non-fath-
ers to fill their quotas.
The memorandum thus has
had the effect, some government
sources said, of giving the local
boards another way of postpon-
ing the draft of fathers, even
though Mr.. Roosevelt did not in
tend any special consideration
for them.
War ManpoWer Commission
Chairman Paul V. McNutt made
the disclosure yesterday that d
White House message might be
forthcoming within "a hours.
He indicated, after he and War
Production Board Chairman
Donald Nelson had talked with
the President, that the subject to
be dealt with was occupational
defermcnt and the serious sit
uation' arising from the exodus
of trained manpoWer from war
plants.
McNutt stopped talking at
that point, but informed sourc-
es within the War Production
Board (WPB) and VINO offered
these predictions:
/. That Mr.. Roosevelt would
emphasize the pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers should get the same
treatment as non-fathers.
2. That he would call for
some new machinery TO insure
that highly essential plants get
a measure of protection from
the drafting Of engineers, tech
nicians and other key workers.

the State Highway Department
should participate in costs OF
sewage disposal in the drainage
district.
Prosecutor Held rendered an
opinion to the board that there
is nothing in the law making
these two departments liable for
drainage costs; despite the fact
that the district pays SIS per
million gallons Of flow for sew
age treatment, and the flow
contains millions of gallons of
storm water washed from the
roads into approximately 1900
catch basins along the intercept
tors course.
That Warren Township, one
of the affected units of the
drainage district, will enter a
legal challenge in the matter of
road and highway departments
sharing the cost was indicated
by Supervisor Earl Tallman, of
that township, who threatened
that the district may shut off the
catch basins which draw storm
water from the highways and
roads.
We're paying more than $50
a million gallons flow which in
cludes water drained from these
roads," he pointed out. 1T is
absurd to suggest that the road
and highway departments are
not liable for some of this cost.
You will hear more of this mat
ter from Warren Township,

Another factor in piling up a

that no used cars will be avail
