The Japanese general mentioned by Drew Pearson, and all other foreign visitors, were admitted to the Douglas plant only after re- quest of the State and War De- partments. Under Army regula- tions, the company cannot permit non-citizens to visit any Douglas plant except through special per- mission, the mechanics of which are as follows:

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Jesse Jones is reported looking around to find a big banking job for John Snyder, the reconversion boss, who so many Truman ad- visers hope will soon leave Wash- ington. They don't care where he goes, whether back to St. Louis or Wall Street, just so his fumbling hands are taken off the delicate job of reconversion. President Truman may not remember, but one important rumpus in the early days of the New Deal was when Chester Davis, then boss of the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, purged Jerome Frank, now Judge of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. for proposing that the big meat packers open their books to the public in order to ascertain how much government subsidies they needed =. Today, Truman is proposing a far more reVolu- tionary step--opening the books of automobile companies and other big industries. Simultaneously. Tru- man has brought Chester Davis back from St Louis to serve on the important reconvcrsion board, and rulncr is he may step into Snyder's all-important reconver- sion job While the American auto industry is begged down, the French have built 10000 trucks since Jan l. The French have also increased their coal produc- tion fbl per cent compared with pre-war days. Their present fuel shortage is due to the fact thai before the war they imported two- fifths of their consumption. That importation, largely from Germany. is now cut off.
 JESSE JONES HIDDEN HAND
 Only time President Roosevelt really got sore at anyone was when he fired Jesse Jones as Secretary of Commerce and Federal Loan Administrator. Ever since Truman came into office. however, Harry has shut one eye to the fact that Jesse Jones. unofficially, is running the powerful Federal Loan Administration by remote control.
 Jones sits in Room 450 of the Statler Hotel, keeping two phones so busy his wife complains she can't talk to him. And since no one has been appointed to replace him, Jesse can do almost anything he wishes with the headless loan agencies. This also means that he has a lot to say about surplus property since it is largely handled by the REC.
 Meanwhile, Stuart Symingtcn,

though given the title of Surplus Property Administrator, actually has little to do with it's disposal. So Symington, fed up with getting the blame for the surplus property snarl, finally went to Reconversion Boss John Snyder and asked that he be given full responsibility by taking over the REC, himself. Sym ington didn't say so in those words, but he is tired of having the secret hand of Jesse Jones running surplus property and the loan agencies while he gets ~all the headaches.
 Snyder, as usu6.. was noncom- initial Being an old pal of Jesse's, he isn't anxious to make change. However, the final decision is not up to him-but Truman. If the latter does not clean house, you can write it down that his old friend Symington will not tarry in the headache-r ridden job of Sur plus Property Administrator.
 ARMY NAVY DEATH BATTLE
 The. Navy is leaving no stone unturned in it's battle to the death with the Army Watchful Navy sleuths recently noted an item in the New York papers reporting that Gen. "Toughy' Spaatz, hard headed Army ace, had entertained dinner of 65 to 70 editors and publishers at the Waldorf, with the guest of honor Hugh Baillie, head of United Press.
 Navy men, knowing the diff culty which any general or ad- miral has in meeting even the family payroll on a government salary wondered how Spaatz was able to finance such a big shindig. They investigated, found that the dinner cost a thousand bucks, but it didn't come out of Gen. Spaatz pocket. It was paid for by the OiiitSo 1iCco, WiiooS SliiCi WOO guest of honor.
 Naturally, the dinner was a good sounding board for air force propa- ganda. The airmen, although stay ing in the background, have been the leading motivator of the Army Navy merger. In any such merger, the air forces figure they will get two votes (theirs and the Army's) against the Nays one.

cause Of it is this: My husband sent

his camp. She wrote that she loved
him and would always remember
the happy moments that they had
spent together.

Answer congratulate you on
the good sense and good taste you

Textile Designing

A textile designer today Is con-
fronted with so many problems that
she must use all her ingenuity and
effort just to make fabrics spin from
her looms. Yarn shortages, dyes that
are inadequate, lack Of trained and
skilled help, wartime rules and reg
ulations as to weights and types Of
fabrics which may be produced
all these are part of her job. The
story behind how textile designer
does actually manage to produce her
fabrics is a colorful one, but full Of
technical talk that doesn't always
make good copy. Here are just q
few Of the most obvious hurdles
which confront us today, perhaps
by this time next year all Of these
will have evaporated and we'll be
back in the business Of worrying
primarily about the beauty Of the
design, instead of the problems of
producing it.
What shortages, what Govern
ment regulations, what labor lacks,
what mechanical tools must be
taken into consideration? Examples
of this abound-F'rinstance, there
have not been in our combed cotton

mother during her pregnancy. This
constitutes an important part of the
clinics work. The mothers general
health and condition are carefully
guarded, diet is watched and she
learns the routine for proper care
of herself. Also, plans are made for
disqualification at the birth of the
child, with financial arrangements
made according to the family's abil-
ity to pay. Necessary follow-up care
Is also provided.
An appointment system is used in
the clinics. The infants are usually
seen monthly, the older children
periodically, with the service avail
able for children of preschool age,
from infancy to 5 years. Continuous
care from the beginning is most sat
isfactory. of course, since constant
study of the child's development
and needs is possible.
There are 16 child health centers
scattered over the city, nine of
which have maternal services. The
clinics operate in cooperation with
public health nurses and other COM
munity services A call to the Bu-
reau Of Maternal and Child Welfare,

card from a girl who said she loved
him and remembered the good times
they had had together. The mere
fact that he sent the pretty card
shows that he attached no sig
nif1cance to it and that it had no
sinister meaning. If he had really
had an affair with the girl, you
can be very sure that he would not
have furnished you with proof Of it,
Perhaps, it is only natural that
the wife at home, thousands OF miles
from her husband, thinking of him
all of the time and wondering what
he is doing, should torture herself
with jealous fears. She calls to
mind all that she has ever read or
heard or seen in the movies of
fascinating foreign women, and she
imagines them exercising their wiles
on her CT Joe until she gets so
green-eyed that she can't see
straight. Otherwise she would know
that the soldier in the Army is
brought in contact with very few
women, and that he is far less ex-
posed to feminine temptations than
he would be If he were at home,
working in store or Office.

The Precious Ounce
By Betty Miles

The ounce of prevention is still
worth the pound of cure. This prin-
cipal is very thoroughly applied by
the Bureau of Maternal and Child
Welfare of the District of Columbia
Health Department. The aim in
volved is that of parents well in
formed concerning standards of
health and good care necessary for
high standard of development in
their children. The aim also deals
with adequate protection a1d care
made available through the Health
Department for the prevention of
illness and disease. Informed par
ents and well-developed children re-
suit in that very happy combina-
tion-children who are enjoyed by
their parents.
Perhaps you've always associated
the. term clinic" with theC sick.
True, i'll babies who are brought to
the child health centers are routed
by these clinics to sources of neces-
sary aid. But the main function of
the centers is the program for well
children-the preventive service.
Doctors are constantly looking for
all kinds of defects that could be
corrected. In the battle to prevent
illness and disease, immunizati ton
shots are given against diphtheria,
smallpox and whooping cough. A
periodic check for tuberculosis is
also made.
And, of course, the parent is given
information to help in the under
standing of his child-data on nu-
triton, recreation, training and so
forth is provided. The child is
helped in the development of sound
habits, with each child regarded as
an individual. Advice given in the
early days, when problems in feed
ing and routine are paramount, is
supplemented later with aid in the
child's emotional development as he
begins to play with other children
in the home and in the neighbor-
hood.
Actually, the best guarantee for
healthy babies, as well as healthy
mothers. is adequate care for the

Our son used to travel all over
in his crib, throwing clothes and
powder all over the room.
We finally remedied the situation
by hooking his crib to the wall. The
hooks must be placed on the legs
OF the crib though, because babies
learn how to unhook them.
This way worked very well for us,

ANNIVERSARY PARTY?

to begin this, I'm at a total loss as

I'm sure you will be able to help
me because I have noticed several
similar requests in your column.
You have probably noticed al

haven't the faintest idea as to
where to begin. So the sooner get
