Resourcefu| Woman Acts

BY ROSELLEN CALLAHAN
NEA staff CorTespondent

NEW YORK - To run a
home of l409,52 rooms eff
ficiently and economically re-
quires a lot of ingenuity these
days. Delays. in laundry service.
replacing such hard-to-get items
as bed linen and keeping furni-
ture i'm constant repair are typi-
cal housewives problems which
are multiplied a thousand-fold
for hotel housekeepers.
And many a hotel housekeep-
er would long since have
thrown up her hands in despair,
if il hadn't been for the re-
sourcefulness of Mrs. Grace
Wooley Of the American Hotel
Association, who has been help
ing them to ride the hump of
shortages and delays.
THOUSANDS OF REQUESTS
The attractive, soft-Spoken
cxpediter Of problems for some
1000 hotels takes in stride thou
sands of requests for advice on
how TO remove nail polish stains
from towels, suggestions FOR
plans and equipment for a short
order kitchen, where oh where
can we buy some sheets, how
TO figure ration stamps for
American plan guests, and even
pleas to find rooms in New
York hotels for friends of out
of-town managers.
A former hotel manager and
editor of Hotel Management
Magazine, Mrs. Wooley has an
ticipated many a managers and
housekeeper' headaches by pre-
pairing pamphlets on their most
-perplcxing problems. She's SLIT
cd the suggestions for more ef-
ficient methods, which have
come from h o u 5 G kee p erS
throughout the country, and has
incorporated them into booklets.
Though they are for distribution
10 the association hotels, Mrs.
Wooley says many of these me-
thods could be adopted by
housewives to save them time
and energy.
For instance, one Chicago no.
tel housekeeper with $500
rooms to keep in order, devised
A "touchup' system-Which pre-
vents small damages from de-
veloping into costly repairs. She
filled a small cart with cans of
various colored paint TO match
woodwork and trim. Also she
fitted il with other items needed
for repairs, such as putty, rea-
dy mixed plaster, nails, ham,
mer and brushes.
Housewives who have such a

cart, she says, will never be
tempted to put off until next
week-When the small repair
has developed into real damage
doing the job today.
Another Step-Saving, labor
saving device which you can
borrow from hotel housekeep-
ers, suggests Mrs. Wooley, is d
cleaning supply basket. With
everything in one place, it Will
save you the daily effort of col
lecting all your cans of clean
ing material, rags, busters, pol
fishing fluid and whatever else
you use.
USE DOUBLE-DUTY
CLEANER
They have found, too, that it
is a saving of time, money and
storage space to use an all-pur-
pose product when possible that
will clean bathroom tile as well
as metal fixtures. And they also
recommend a double duty pro-
duct for cleaning walls and
woodwork which is q detergent
as well as water softener.
In one city, oily smoke rotted
the bottoms of hotel curtains
exposed to the air. Through re-
search they found that curtains
dipped in a protective solution
would be impervious to chem
icalS IN the smoke. Today there
are several such penetrants on
the market which may be ap-
piled to curtains during wash
ing or starching to prevent SIM
liar destruction.

Social Security

Deep depression, the hazards of war and
hmitleSs propaganda have made the Ameri-
can people security conscious" Benefits
which accrue under the existing Social
Security laws generally are approved. Most
people believe that the extension of benefits
to more people is justified
1t is the function of editors to interpret
Tor the people the meaning of the laws re-
latlng to Social Security. 1t is their respon-
Slol!lty to understand and explain to their
readers the implications of propose
changes and extensions.
Under the existing Social Security law
Employment Offices are northumberland
Federal and State control-to find Jobs for
the unemployed. Provisions are made for
aid to the needy aged, the blind and for
dependent children. Payments are made in
cash.
To beneficiaries under the Act, compensa-
ton is paid during periods of unemplov-
ment. Payments are made in cash. Retire
ment benefits, death benefits for surviving
relatives, monthly allotments for widows
and dependent children, are provided. The
payments are made in cash.
Proposals have been advanced for the
governments providing full medical care
and disqualification for all Social Security
beneflciaries and their dependents. Auth
orlty is to be given a single government Of
tlclal to hire doctors and establish rates of
pay; to control and operate hospitals and
actually dispense medical care to 10000, 900
people. No cash payments are involved. In
effect, the Federal Government would estab-
llSh 100000 retail establishments, man them
and conduct the business of peddling pink
pills to people
Some people believe that in bureaucracy's
vast pool of master minds, there are in
dividuals fully qualified to tell farmers what
and how much they can sow and when and
how to reap; other individuals competent
to tell the oil wildcater the size of the pipe
and depth to which he is permitted to drill;
and yet others with capacity to tell the
newspaper editor what he can print and how
he shall treat and headline his dispatches.
1t may be true.
No sane person can believe that any
bureaucrat can direct the rendering of
medical care without actual suicidal deteri-
Grafton in the quality and effectiveness of
the service that is provided. 1t is the ulti-
mate of abSurdities. The people should be
told the facts. Editors should tell them

Emotion Is Not Enough

The most important single problem ahead
of us is management-labor relations accord
ing to Ira Mosher, president of the National
Association of Manufacturers. Emotion"
Mr.. Mosher says, won't solve our labor
problems" and he adds:
"Just as the public demands aggressive,
military action and far-sighted statesman
ship in the winning of international peace,
SO it demands vigorous action and broad
minded leadership in attaining industrial
harmony at home.
sAmerica cannot rest content with being
the arsenal for wartime democracy; it also
must lead the way in setting new peace
time standards of economic progress and
accomplishment.
ITO do this we must find some way of
resolving the issues which have divided
management and labor in recent years
some way Of minimizing the industrial strife
which paralyzes production and prevents
the attainment of true prosperity.
"Unless such way is found through
voluntary agreement between management
and labor, it will be sought through the CO.
ercive action of government - process
which may well lead to the end Of free
enterprise and of free labor"

Now All Together

The Seventh War Loan must finance the
largest Army and Navy and the greatest
war in the history of the United States.
Although victory is in the not too distant
future, the cost of such a victory is in
creasing daily. The cost of an about war
did not end with the fall of Germany, but
continues and will continue until Japan has
been forced to her knees in unconditional
surrender.
Through War Bond purchases, we help
pay for the superior arms and equipment
which makes our Army and Navy the great
est in the world
Yes, our War Bonds help pay the neces-
sary price of victory
The best use for our money today is the
combination offered by Bonds-to pay for
winning the victory and at the same time
to save for the future.

this blitz. They put the finger Of
weakness on the Japs. And then
they ended their ceremonial chant
by singing the marine corps song
In Navajo.
I asked Joe Gatewood if they
really felt their dance had some
thing to do with the ease of our
landing and he said the boys did
believe so and were very serious
about it, himself included.
II knew nothing was going to
happen to u.s." Joe said, ''for on
the way up here there was a rain
bow over the convoy and I knew
then everything would be all right. +"
There is one very small marine
who Is as nice as he can be, al
ways smiling and making some
crack. But the boys say that In
battle he doesn't give a damn for
anything.
The first afternoon joined his
company he didn't know who I was
and as We passed, he said very re-
specially, GOOD evening, Colonel"
I had to chuckle to myself. Later
he mentioned it and we laughed
about 1t and then he started call
ing me Ernie.
He was Corp. Charles Bradshaw
Of indianapolis. He is only 10 but
on his third campaign in the Paci-
fie. He's had three pieces of shrap-
mel in him at various times and
months later they would work out
through the skin. Another one Is
just about to come out of his fin
ger now.
In the marines Corporal Brad
shaw is called Brady" for short.
Before joining the marines he
worked on a section gang for the
Pennsylvania railroad. He usually
wears one Of those wide-brimmed
green cloth hats instead of the
regulation marine cap
He always carries a AS and 1t has
slightly curved 25-cent piece i'm
bedded In the handle. As he says,
ito make it worth something"
Brady found two huge photograph
albums in rave Tho albums ore
full of snapshots of Japanese girls
and Chinese girls and young Japs
in uniform and of family poses.
He treasured it as though 1t were
full of people he knew. He studied

Coal - Index Of
National Existence

The fate of Germany was sealed when she
lost the bulk of her available coal produc-
ing territory. The National City Banks
monthly news letter describes this loss with
grim finality: With the coal fields of the
Ruhr and German Silesia cut off, Germany
now controls only 10 per cent of the pre-war
bituminous production of her own territory
and Czechosolvakia. Altogether it is prob
able that Germany now controls no more
than the equivalent of 70 to IS million tons
of good coal annually, compared with 275
million for the Greater Reich in 1899 BIZ
luminous coal was the basis for the German
war effort. Without plentiful supplies, the
synthetic oil plants will be crippled; the
operation of new blast furnaces built in Cen
trail Germany to utilize local low grade iron
ore deposits will be handicapped; and the
output of electricity will be affected"
The above comment while outdated by
momentouS events, still holds lesson. It
illustrates that country's rise and fall in
these days of mechanical war is in direct
relation to its coal output. This nations an
nual production of more than 600,000,000
tons of bituminous coal has gone long way
toward assuring total victory for us. No
nation can afford, for military security rea-
sons if for no others, to have sick coal
industry. Britain has long had an made
quately producing coal industry, largely be-
cause in Britain coal has been the center
of socialistic controversy. Under constant
threat of government ownership coal mine
operators did not strive to improve produc-
ton. When war came Britain paid dearly
for unnecessarily lost coal tonnage.

Getting Away
With Murder

A private electric company-one that is
owned by thousands of tockholders-serv-
ing over 100000 customers, reports taxes
paid in 1914 of ST., 1867, 900. The bulk of the
taxes went to the Federal government This
is Just one company in hundreds. The aver
age electric company pays nearly twenty
five cents out of every dollar it receives.
Compare this with little item appearing
in the New York Times, to the effect that
the IVA, which serves over 5OO,OOO custom
ers, paid less than 100000 in taxes and
payments in lieu of taxes during the same
period, as sops to local government. Not
cent was paid in Federal taxes, although
IVA is competitive business enterprise
which has succeeded IN putting It's com
petitors. heavily-taxed private electric COM
panies. out of business, thus becoming an
unregulated, untaxed monopoly.
Where are the Jealous truStbuSters who
fill the headlines with inference that any
business bigger than a peanut stand, is
crooked? No private monopoly can begin
to compare with today's government mon
'opolies. Private monopolieS at least nave
to pay taxes.
II is useless to expect departments OF
government to do anything about their own
monopolistic practices or about the unfair
tax exemption of their own enterprises.
There are no antitrust umpires sitting over
bureaucrats to protect the people from the
abuses of manipulators in government Of
fices. This is why there is Constitution,
Bill of Rights and other safeguards They
are the only protection the people have
against tyranny. They were set up with
the full knowledge that those who govern
are no different than the governed. They
both need watching.
Government is getting away with muir
der because political manipulatorS have Sue
ceeded in selling the idea that government
is the seat of wisdom, virtue-and jobs. The
people must wake up or the bureaucrats
will not stop with unfair treatment of the
utility industry.

one thing they saw signs and for
another they used their own in

Before the convoy left the far
south tropical island where the Ma

ceremonial dance.

Intolerance In
Sleeps Clothing

Never in the history of this nation have
members of the medical profession and the
sciences had to spend so much time discus
sing matters of political significance Some
look upon the distraction Of these men from
their work as sign of progress of social
consciousness, although in the past when
scientific studies have been diluted with
political controversy, it has always been
considered blight. Why is it so different
now?
History books record the barbaric dogmas
and autocratic oppression that hampered
the great men OF science in ages past. We
all realize that mankind would be far ahead
OF where it is today if intolerance had not
lnterfered with the free pursuit of scien
title research. For over a century, science
IN this country has worked in uninterrupted
freedom. Medical men in the United States
up to now, have never had to give thought
to political questions. Their efforts conferred
acknowledgements on the technical bust
ness OF making people healthy. They have
teIt secure in their freedom, under our form
OF government-so secure that they are
stunned when they realize the picture has
changed and that government is no longer
a protection, but menace
Proposals to make government the master
OF medicine in blind grab for a medical
Utopia, are simply a new form of intoler-
ance. The age-old struggle of science against
ignorance and abuse is raging again-and
we call 1t social progress!
