enough powder TO last three
years.
1--WE felt pretty good over II,
except for the delay, as we
thought that we must stand In
with the procurement division.
But the order for the three Inch
lin Lengthy screw driver puzzled
US. The very Same day II was
ordered, Mr.. Beckman, head Of
the machine unit, received
tw0-foot one with a blade an
inch wide. As the machine
screws which we wished to
tighten were very small, he was
forced TO send IL back and ex-
plain that he wanted only n
three-inch driver with "A blade
about an eighth OF an inch wide.
GLE ASKED again TO have
IL his first requisition filed.
The following day he again re-
ceived the two-foot screw driver.
He again returned II with the
same explanation. The third
day, he received the same two
foot screw driver. He sent II
back this time and didn't men
ton his requisition. At noon.
he went over to the dime store
and bought the one he had TO
have.
"A week ago, a repair man
came I'm TO check our new ma
chine and he told Mr.. Beckman
that he should get a can Of
grease and Use II on certain
gear controlling the motor. He
stated that II II weren't creased
very frequently while new that
II would freeze and thereby
cause serious damage TO the
motor. He Immediately put In
q requisition for a small can of
grease. He knew the cost would
be about 10 cents.
THE afternoon of the same
day . representative Of the pro-
curement section came In and
told Mr.. Beckman that the head
Of his section would not order Il
unless he could justify the pur-
chase. He showed the repre-
sentative the gear and explained
the life of the machine might
depend upon his purchase. We
haven't yet received the grease.
"siimeograph machines have
to be frequently filled with ink

and with the first few rcvolu-
tions throw out an excess Of
ink until it Is smoothed out.
1t Is the practice Of operators
Of these machines TO use an
absorbent grade Of toilet tissue
to quickly get rid of ink smears.
"Some weeks ago, Mr.. Beck
man Of the procurement section
sent for Mr.. Mendels0n and
asked what the toilet tissue
order was for. Mr.. Mendelson
explained the use he planned
for IL and asked that the pur-
chase be expedited. To date
We have not received IL.
Nov this is what worries
~ me. In order to get this
needed tissue Mr.. Beckmsn be-
gan going first TO one rest room
and then another and taking .
spare roll. The more work he
turns out the oftener he has to
go foraging for toilet paper.
He needed so much he decided
20 60 TO otter floors and there
by not take 1t SO often from
the floors he works on.
$50 much had been taken
that permanent custodians are
being stationed I'm the rest
rooms so he In finding IL in
creasingly difficult TO get out
with q roll.
This seems a waste Of gov
ernment money to keep indi-
viduals on the watch all day
