 That's when the humble-mumble began. I won't confuse you with the argument, which got increas- ingly woozie as the day wore on; I'll report only that the growlers restrained themselves and Bowles finally got out of there without being smacked by an automotiye hardware.
 Justice For All
 He rode away in a 1887 taxi that crunched in first gear and howled in second and probably never did get him where he was going. That cabs got to be replaced with a new one and here's a good place to tell what the fights about:
 Tomorrow, come helical gears or hot water in the gaskets, Bowles will announce the retail prices for Fords and Studebakers. They're the only two makes which have given him their cost figures in full. They'll cost a little more than the 1922 models, but not as much more (according to Bowles) as they would if he hadn't made the deal CTS cut into their profits. When the other auto makers come through with their cost sheets, Bowles eX- poets to give their dealers the same treatment.
 He claims these fellows have been getting "A per cent gross pro- it on new cars. They say they can bank only about one per cent.
 Indicates Future
 That, retorts Bowles, is because they used to be so anxious to take in bashed-in jallopies on the new white side-walled jobs that their trade-in allowance were too big.
 Bowles said next year it'll be a sellers market. You'll be lucky to get $22 for that heap you're driving now. Or so he indicated.
 He said the dealers are going to make more money than they ever did and that the one thing he'd like to own is an auto agency. One of the auto gents told me a dis couraged pal was trying to sell the OPA chief his agency. I'll check up on this later; I'm also going to buy me a course of roller-skating lessions.

FBI Alerted Nov. 27

Reps. Frank B. Keefe. R Wis, and Bertrand T. Gearhart, R., Calf, the other two Republican members of the committee, interviewed FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover yesterday. They told reporters afterward that they wanted to know why the Army and Navy in Hawaii weren't on the same full alert as the FBI at the time of the Japanese attack,
 They said Hoover altered his agents in Hawaii on Nov. 27-the day after former Secretary of State Cordell Hull sent his l0-point terms to the JepaneGe,
 MT Hoover had concluded from information available to the FBI on Nov. 27-after the Hull message went to Japan--that war was im- minent," Keefe said,
 "The question is, if he did that with his gang, why couldn't a sim liar order have gone to the Army and Navy?"
 Keefe said he and dearhart would insist that Hoover and his Hono- lulu agents appear as witnesses be- fore the committee.

cartoonists who work like dogs to make you
and me laugh. They curse their profession,
but cling to it year after year. Even those who
have entered the armed forces keep at it,
and many of the cartoons you see in maga-
zines today we're pencil-sketched in tank,
submarine or foxhole.
What is a cartoonist like? 1t is safe to say
that he is not at all what you would expect.
The popular conception is an eccentric per-
son who might walk down Broadway on
stilts, clad only in his B.V.D.'s, and toss
matches into the boards of elderly passers-by.
On the contrary. cartoonists are, as class,
rather prosaic, circumspect persons. They are
mostly young men between the ages of Is
and 40, who live modestly in New York City,
or in its suburbs. A minority live elsewhere
in the nation and do their business by
mail
They're q Prolific Bunch
CARTOONISTS are not inveterate drunks -
indeed, they are less given to liquor than
almost any other profession Their conver-
sation is not at all slap-happy, ungrammatical
or disreputable. They usually discuss such
topics as () the troubles they are having
with their heating systems; (2) the troubles
they are having with various editors; g, the
condition of their wives who are generally in
or about to be in. confinement. (Cartoonists
are extremely prolific They seem to spawn at
frequent intervals. producing greater num-
Der of children than might be expected of
persons in their particular age group

able but no one has ever financed yacht
