the slightly uncommon names Of -"Cadmus Zaccheus" maybe it's just because we're curious. But, anyway, up until yesterday we always had wondered if we'd ever run across anybody with the name of one of our favorite Bible characters. Since our childhood he's been a favorlte, first, because his name was so un- usual, and, second, because dle fig ured in joke (not a very good joke, perhaps, but one we keep on laughing at through the years).
 The Bible character was one of Jobs three friends Bildad, the Shuhite. And yesterday afternoon a serviceman paid his first visit to our USO; and when he signed his given name in our book, there was that name for the first time: Bill dad".
 The joke? Oh, yes The question is Who was the shortest man in the Bible?" The answer is: Bill dad-he was just a Shu-hite" It seems that made him even shorter than Ne-hi-miah," the runner-up, tor, more accurately. you might say, the runner-dowm for the honor!

USO DORMIT0RY- AND GI SLEEP
j; j. .,,

Almost exactly two years ago we wrote a piece in this column entitled "USO-O-O NICE TO COME HOME TO" Tn it we tried to sing the praises of the Clubs dormitory. This feature of USO service was then brand new, having opened only a couple of weeks before. Already it had proven very popular.
 Its popularity has continued, ever since. We haven't taken time out to add up the monthly figures for that whole period; but we're confi- dent the total would not be less than 5,700 bed-nights, perhaps consider ably more.

DANCE AT EXCURSION INLET

It's supposed to be for the bene- fit of the servicemen. But it will prove, we feel sure, to DC as much fun (probably more sol Tor our girls.
 The forthcoming trip to Excursion Inlet is what we have reference to. There are a lot of lonely GIs sta- tioned in that secluded spot. There are a lot of lovely GSOs located in Juneau, only a few miles and fewer hours away So the natural thing to do is to get the two groups to- gether. And that's exactly what IS being planned for an early weekend Likely it will be worked up for Saturday, September 29. The date, together with the other details, of the definite arrangements, will be announced within the next several days)
 You girls who expect to be able to make the trip, let someone on the USO staff know promptly. The numher that can be taken must necessarily be limited. It seems probable that almost everyone in the GSO will he eager to be includ- ed.

With the current room shortage in Juneau, and in view of the certain ! increase in the number of service men coming through here during the next few months, our dormitory will prove an even greater asset than heretofore. Since V-J Day. in ad- dition to all our other guests, the Club has taken care of no less than 50 discharged veterans or men en route to the States or to Alaskan points for discharge.
 The accommodations in the dormi- tory, it seems to be agreed, are quite attractive, each bed having an excellent mattress and springs, good linen and plenty Of blankets, each pair oI beds dover and upper) being arranged in separate con- partmcnts with partitions and cur tains. Generally speaking, the whole set-up appears to afford an at mosphere conducive to comfortable sleeping
 Note that phrase generally speak ing. Thereby is to be implied some slight qualification, and deliberat- ly so. For those curtains and par titions are not designed to sound proof those compartments-as many of our would-be sleepers have quick ly discovered as they have digura- lively speaking) if we may borrow a bit of poetry, wrapped the mantles of their touches about them and lain down to (continuing the beautiful figure of speech) pleasant dreams .' Unless they have been singularly { fortunate (the law of averages has been against them) the momentary quiet of the dormitory has suddenly been rent in twain by the whistles and bells incident to the departure of Train No. 49 "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe"-Which in recent weeks has been leaving the No l2 spot on our juke box regular ly, not less often than four or five times every hour. (As a matter of fact, the juke box is located many feet away from the dormitory, in the far corner of the club lounge in the room downstairs. But when it's volume control is turned up high so that the music-lover leaning over the box may not miss one tiny throb cut of the inferno of sound within, the occupants of what we laughing ly call the sleeping quarters" might just as well have the juke box at their bedsides) If the A. T. and s. streamliner has come to momen- tary halt, our GI friends eff we can i assume they still regard themselves as such may, ironically, be kept awake by My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time" However, il is more likely they will find them- selves listening wide-eyed to Mis- Betty Hutton's disturbing T Wan na Get Marriedp or to her no-more- ccnducive-to-sleep Stuff Like That There = or, perhaps, even to the rendition of four or five times in ear-torturing succession of that matchless literary gem, the words of Catalonia"
 Macbeth" tradition has it, hath murdered sleep. Macbeth, SC far as our USO dormitory is con- cerned, you're piker compared with Miss Betty Hutton, MT. Woody Her man, MT. Gene Krupa, and a couple of dozen other fellows heard too loud and too often every day AND | NIGHT. on our juke box!

Robert H. Storz, prominent civic
leader and vice-president of the
Storz Brewing Company, this week
was elected v~ice-president and chair
man Of the executive board OF the
Omaha Chamber Of Commerce.
Storz, who has served the Cham
Der as chairman of the Industrial
Committee and as a member of the
Board of Directors for three years,
was elected June IL for the 1945-1946
term. 1t is customary for the vice

a Past Commander Of Omaha Post

SUGAR:
Press Conservation

Declaring that the present sugar
shortage had been aggravated by IL
legal use of supplies originally OBJ
tanned for home canning. the OPA
took steps TO tighten ALLEGATIONS for
such purposes and prevent further
drainage of shrinking stocks.
In addition to having special in
vestigators check into the diversion
Of home canning sugar into bootleg
liquor or illicit bottling. OPA an
nounced that pledges must now be
signed assuring that use of home
canning rations will not be used for
other purposes and reports made lat
err as to food put up; district Offices
will suspend ALLEGATIONS until fruits
and vegetables become available for
preservation, and review all appli-
cations so as to spread supplies over
coming months.
Partly because of over-issuance
Of sugar for food preservation last
year, OPA said, average table ra-
tons have been cut 81 per cent and
housewives ALLEGATIONS for home
canning have been trimmed 40 per
cent. In addition, the short sugar
stocks have resulted in a squeeze on
bakers and industrial users, with
further reductions in their allot-
ments threatening to seriously ham,
per continued operations.

EUROPE:
Displaced Persons

One of the most difficult of post
war problems in Europe. the return
of displaced nationals to their home
land has become even harder with
the reluctance of many to leave the
Anglo-American occupied zone of
Germany, it was revealed.
Though some 800, 900 Poles are
showing the greatest antipathy to be-
ing sent east, Latvians and Lithu-
anians also r not eager to return.
Even substantial numbers of the
1,500, 900 Russians in the Anglo
American zone do not wish to be
repatriated, but though the other ma
tionals cannot be forced to 60 against
their wishes, an agreement reached
at Yalta makes the return Of the
Russians compulsory.
Besides the nationals mentioned
above, there still are 1900, 900
French in the U. S.-British area along
with $4,000 Italians. 200, 900 Bel
gians. 200, 900 Dutch. 100, 600 Yugo-
slavs, $4,000 Czechs. 10 1000 Greeks.
II $1,000 Danes. 10000 Norwegians and
10000 from Luxembourg.

APPAREL:
Pinch to Persist

With military requirements at a
high level and labor short because
Of the attraction Of workers to high
er paying industries. textiles will re-
main in tight supply through 1945,
the War Production board revealed.
Declaring that a substantial
amount of clothing materials will be
needed to provide a continuous flow
of apparel for adaptability to the
varying climatic conditions Of the
Pacific, WPB said the military will
take IS per cent of the cotton duck
supply in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
along with 20 per cent Of carded and
so per cent of combed goods.
In addition, WPB said, the mill
tary will take go per cent of the
supply of wool woven goods during
the same period, and virtually all
worsteds, along with substantial
stocks Of knit goods. AS a result,
it may be necessary to restrict civil
ian sales of heavy underwear to such
outdoor workers as loggers and
farmers.

UNEMPLOYMENT
To Rise

With another large "stepdown" In
military orders anticipated, War
Production Board Chairman J. A.
Krug predicted 4, 100, 900 persons will
no longer be needed for war produc-
ton six months from now and I'M
employment can be expected to
reach 1900, 900 by then.
During the next three months
alone. Krug said. an estimated 2,900,-
900 war workers will be released,
with unemployment jumping 1.100,-
900 from the present level of 800, 900
to 1900, 900. Because of withdraw
ais from the labor force and the
unemployment of 4,100, 900 persons
by the rapidly expanding civilian
economy, however, the total of I'M
employed will drop about 500, 900 a
half year from now.
Though unemployment promises to
mount in comparison with present
conditions, such low-paying indus
tries as lumber and textiles may ex-
perience difficulty obtaining work.
ers, Krug said. Wage increases
within the bounds Of sterilization pol
icy would probably help remedy
such a situation, Krug indicated.
