JUNKETING CoNGREssMEN

Servicemen are burned up at the way the Army and Navy are show ing special favoritism to a tiny group of Congr essmen who, anxious to build up war records, but reluctant to resign their seats in Congress are becoming veterans within go days flat.
 Most unique example is Demo- cratic Representative John Fogarty of Rhode Island who left Washing ton December F to report for duty in Baltimore as an apprentice sea- man. That same afternoon, Fog arty was promoted to carpenters mate 1fc, a rank better than that of sergeant in the Army, and few hours later was sent to Davisville, R. L, sporting his new uniform.
 Next day Fogarty received five innoculations in one afternoon, was approved for overseas service in record time A special Navy plane was assigned to whisk him off to the West Coast where after two days rest, he embarked by plane for a forward war area.
 The catch in Fogarty's case is that he has no qualifications for a carpenters mate rating other than membership in the House Naval Affairs Committee, and can get out of uniform any time he wants. Fogarty resigned his seat

of State, Labor, Commerce and Agriculture will all pull together; whereby their top men are friends and think alike The President singles out these four departments because the Department of Agri- culture can help produce jobs on the farm, the Commerce Depart ment can help produce jobs in business, the Labor Department can help stabilize labor, while the State Department can help produce ex- port trade.
 That was one thing in the back of FDR's mind when he selected Henry Wallace as Secretary of Com merce. Lone-wolf Jesse Jones never has cooperated closely with others in the Cabinet, except Cordell Hull. Wallace, on the other hand, all ready knows the farm problem, is an intimate of Secretary Wickard and everyone else in the Agricul- lUlt l1CPdl tillClib. OCCi Cbdly kOtCt- tinius has shown himself able to get along well with other people. This necessary ability to cooper ate will be one of the main things the President will watch in who- lever he picks as his new Secre- Itary of Labor. He is tired of per- Isonal feuds and wants more Cabi- lnet harmony. Wallace showed him. self able to swallow the bitter pill of defeat at Chicago and went out to work for the election of Harry Truman. FDR is now looking for a team to play ball together to put across his difficult job program after the war.

a machine. U. s. troops have the best care in the world, the best equipment, best medical attention and best food-everything except the lift to their individual ego. They are hammered down instead of being built up.
 The Russian military system was derived originally from German of- ficers stationed in Russia and IS similar. The Red Army, however, has gone further when it comes to building up pride and ego. In the Red Army a man can be a ser geant one month and colonel the next. Or vice versa, if he makes a mistake Generals who fail are busted overnight.
 No one ever hears of the once famous Marshal Timochenko any more; or Marshal Budenny They did not obtain their objectives and are now retired to Moscow.
 In the U S. Army more recently, thousands of high-type men have come in with excellent background but have little chance of becoming officers, simply because the officers ranks are full They were filled in the early days of the war. and now the output of the Officers Can didate Schoo1s has narrowed to a mere driblet.
 Meanwhile, enlisted men see the son of Senator "Pass-the-B Biscuits Pappy" ODaniel given chance to take the Officers Candidate School course three times after failing twice, when other men are given just one chance. The yalso see the son of the President of the United States carrying two dogs across the Atlantic by airplane. So you can understand why morale could be improved inside the U. s. Army.
