the American delegates at San Francisco, but came anyway.
 To keep these outside clubs hap py and still keep them out of the Conference hair, the State Depart ment set up a branch of it's Office of Public Liaison, showed it over ln the third floor of the Public Health Building, where there is a small auditorium, and hoped for the best. A nice young career man from Washington was put in charge. Ana if he hasn't had more fun and more headaches than anybody ln San Francisco, his name isn't Ches- ter s. Williams, which 1t is.
 Included in MT Williams group are representatives from such out fits as these: Camp Fire Girls, Sons and Daughters of African Descent, Women's League of Peace and Free dom, E. P. o. Elks of the World, B'nai Brith, Womens Division of the Democratic Party, National Baptist Convention (un-inco, Ma tional Womens party, I'M and YWCA, the Society of Friends, WCTU and OAR.
 IT TAKES ALL KINDS
 Then there are the ToaStmaSters' International and International Toastmistresses' Club and Council of State Garden Clubs. American War Dads Mothers of World War II. Catholic War Veterans, Inc. Three other competing Veterans CnnOrnSc Synagogue Council, National Re- tial Drygoods Association, Mizrachl, Negro actors Guild, Soroptimists, AHEPA, Agudas Israel, Gyro Inter- national, and no kidding - Smithsonian Institution.
 First thing they wanted of course was credentials. They were given what have become known as gray cards, being that color. They are merely numbered Identification cards providing space for name and organization. They don't entitle the holders to anything much beyond the right to pick up the mimeo- graphed handouts and conference documents which can be mailed back home, and they don't admit anyone to anything but meetings Of the Public Liaison group in the Public Health Buildings one block away from the Conference.
 Next thing they all wanted was tickets to plenary sessions and badges. Such tickets are as avail able are being rotated to keep the peace, but if Uncle Sam or some body else doesn't loosen up and give with the badges pretty soon there is going to be civil war, and these people are going to go home sore, banning the Conference and all it's works. No button. no good.
 WEEKDAY LOWDOWN
 Five days week MT. Williams calls his Public Liaisoners together in the Public Health Building au- ditorium and arranges to have some member of the U. s. delegation come over and talk to them about how goes it at the big-time Con- ference. Sometimes delegate will explain one thing, like World Court Or Social and Economic Council. Or the voting plan.
 But mostly these meetings give these little men and women on the outside looking in a chance to ask embarrassing questions or to make speeches of their own.
 Once they have let off steam, of course, they can all write reports back to their headquarters, and they can tell all their brothers and sis ters about what a great thing the Charter of the United Nations Or ganization is going to be because they were there when it was written.

Selected Poem
FARM BY MOONLIGHT
Priscilla Wainwright in The Christian Science
 Monitor)

Hump of moss on the old barn roof Blaze mineral green by day, But now like Slumbering moes and mice, Lie soft and gray. In the field through the padlocked gate The grasses stir and flow There are jungles of luminous mystery For the small life below. Cattle move on the stubblbe ground With cautious cracking tread, Restless beneath the flooding light, And in the shed Moonlight drops through old roof-crack Cleaning the hoe and blade; The scythe Winks like Turkish sword In the blacker shade. The corn-cocks stand in shock of light And in the pasture below, The sheep drift mutely together; Sheep of snow. There is no break in the stiffness But bulls clinking chain, Till the strong sharp sounds of the morning Gather again.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

 About two years ago I tried
 potassium chloride as you suggested
 in your pamphlet Relief for AL
 .ergy,'' It seemed to have little
 effect. But recently I had another
 go at it this time using the inn
 proved potassium chloride and vita
 min C combination. Call it coin
 cidence or not, the effect of the
 combination is extraordinary. My allergy, I believe is to redwood, in
 which I work. This improved com-
 bination has given me more com- fort than I had known for several years.
 Answer-Thank you. I don't know a thing about allergy Many suf- ferers have found the combination
 CT vitamin c and potassium chloride more effective than either alone. Readers subject to allergic reac- tions may have the pamphlet Re lief for Allergy" on written request Ono clipping please) if they provide stamped self addressed envelope.

UniOn-Mdde Fire Bombs Razing Jap Cities,
 War Department Says

Washington, D. C.-Around 100,- 900 workers are engaged in mak- ing the new Coop" and other fire bearing bombs which are credited with dropping more devastation on Japan than even the bombed-out German cities felt, according to Army Chemical Warfare Service. The roll of workers includes mem- bers of numerous unions at Army Ordnance plants, as well as AFL members at Bade-Cummins Com pany, Louisville, and the Lonergan Company, Albion, Mich.
 Incendiary bombs, the Army ex- plains, are especially devastating on Jap targets after explosive bombs have ripped open a factory or other building and left it vul- nerable to fire. The incendiaries, dropped by a second wave of bombers or on days after high ex- plosives have hit, finish the de- struction of bomb-hit targets by starting fires virtually impossible to extinguish.
 Four principal types of thick ened- gasoline incendiaries are dis closed to be in use against the Japanese, ranging from small six pound bombs dropped in clusters of thirty-eight each to the 500- pound block-burner which, need ing only lightweight shell cas- ing to enclose its fiery ingredi- ents, contains three times as much destructive force as a 50O-pounl high explosive bomb.
 The 10-pound Coop Bomb" which spouts a fire-making jelly is the recently revealed secret weapon of Army Chemical War fare Service. The violently in- f1ammable chemicals in this bomb

appreciate life's good things. They deserve to live as we'll as anybody but they don't. Whats the reason? We'll, here's what one writer for Ths EcoHomisfs looking back at 1943, has to says To Double INDUSTRIAL ehl- Production ciency, as measured
 by production per head. was roughly similar in Great Britain and Germany while in the United States 1t was more than twice as great as in the other two countries" The state- ment is that of Dr. Leon Rostas, based on serious study of authen- tic records. Now there is . move4 ment on foot in England to double her productive output per man by 1872.
 No longer ago than 1943, when America and England both had full employment, our American workers were twice as well off. They were producing enough to live twice as we'll as the British. About that time Britain was in- vesting only 3% of her income in equipment for additional produc- tion. It was like a woodman say- ing, "Why buy 6 file? A dull gaw nIlllS AASier.0
 The British point to America and say, "Lookl They work less, earn more and live better than we, all because they encourage more investment in tools to pro- duce more goods per man." It's the truth but it may not be true long. Our high taxes discourage investment. Unless we adjust to. days tax laws, we will be poor, watching the British produce and prosper in 1872.

LOST MOTION is an enemy of prosperity, serious as fire. It de- stroys property and wastes ener- gy. This is just as true in Q human organization as in a me- ehanical assembly. Nobody is richer for employing a crew that keeps busy all day and accom- plishes nothing. On . farm, for example, work Is necessary; sweat and callOuses are inciden- talS. It's the crop that brings in the money and pays the men.
 Prosperity results from work but not from all work. Prosperity results from productive work. People who keep busy but don't increase the yield might as well be resting. The man who figures out 8 way to increase yield with out extra labor Is the best man on the job. He works with his brain; knows enough to stop lost motion, to take precautions against fire, and the like.

Workers dump a mixture into a kettle, cream 1t, add small amount of several chemicals, and paddle to a preliminary brew. This is put into dough mixer, gasoline is added and the mixture is beaten to a pastry batter. This batter is then placed in a churn, diluted with jellied gasoline, and mixed to an even mass. The resultant lava is strong, rubbery material which sticks in glue-like gobs to any, thing it reaches, and because of it's magnesium content produces the hottest flame ever known. This deadly lava will fly for 25 yards, land under the caves and against walls of buildings, cling to the surface and burn.

Fulton Lewis, Jr. will take va cation from the airwaves to do some special work from Monday, August 9th, through Friday, Aug ust 31st.
 Substituting for him in the p. m. spot on WNLC will be Fred Morrison, familiar to and admired by all Fulton Lewis listeners. He has been special assistant to Full ton Lewis for more than three years. He's a veteran newSman and has filled . variety of assignments.
 In his sixteen years of reporting, Fred Morrison has worked for sev- eral Midwest newspapers, been as- sociate editor of Pathfinder Maga- zine and covered political happen ings on Capitol Hill for twelve years.
 1 Morrison joined Lewis staff in February 1922, after resigning as Chief of the Washington Bureau of Transradio Press. Since then, he has assisted in covering such stories as the Synthetic Rubber Situation, the Canal Project, Pearl Harbor Contracts and the recent Inter American Highway matter. Fulton Lewis will return to the air on September 3d.
