No Public Presentation.
The presentation was not made
out in front of the crowd and the
cameras. Usually it occurred at a
nice luncheon party following the
launching. This was unfortunate
in way for it prevented the actual
donors, the people of the United
States. from witnessing or having
a picture of the sponsors glad sur
prise when she opened the package
and saw the nature of her reward
for helping get the ship started on
It's way.
I'm sure 1t would have warmed
all our hearts and caused us all to
buckle down harder to our own war
efforts, if we could have seen this
innocent joy.
That, however, probably would
not have applied in the case of Mrs
Roosevelt. The expression on her
face when she received a scale
model of barge could hardly have
been childish glee. 1t probably
would have read: Now what the
dickens am ! going to do with that
thing?"
Likewise the tray, the photograph
album and the war-stamp corsage,
the only other presents she is
charged with receiving, since the
shlpbuilders apparently hesitated to
offer the First Lady one of their
plentiful diamond bracelets. Or
maybe the present she refused at her
first launching was a bracelet. That
might explain the souvenir junk
loaded on her later.
People Busy Explaining.
Well, anyhow, it's now all out in
the open and lot of people are busy
explaining their part in it, and none
OF the explanations are completely
satisfactory to my Puritan con-
science. For the red-faced ladies'
and was surprised to see how many
OF my friends are in the list!-it
can be said they didn't know any
better. For some of the proud hus-
bands and fathers, particularly those
in Government service connected
with the awarding of shipbuilding
contracts, that excuse can hardly
be given.
For the shipbuilders, the first
sordid reason that occurs to you is
probably as correct as any. 1t is
better than their pretense that the
cost of the presents came cut of their
profits and not out Of the taxpayers
pockets, since the profits themselves
certainly came out of the taxpayers
pockets. And better than the ex-
PLANTATION that the making of such
presents to the lady bottle-busters is
just an old custom of the men who
send ships down to the sea; a ira
dition like bell-bottom pants. for
example; and that it just didn't oc-
cur to. them to suspend the ira
dition for the duration of the war.
Come to think of it, however
maybe there is something in their
talk of tradition. Tradition just now

The Petroleum Industry Wa1
Council that was set up in connec-
ton with the Petroleum Admins
tration for War had real function
to. perform. During the war, the
job was to produce, refine and
transport petroleum products. In
the final analysis these objectives
could be attained only by and
through the oil industry. There
fore, close cooperation between the
industry and Government was not
only advisable, it was necessary.
But In peacetime, the interests of
Government and of industry are, at
Evening star., 1946-08-12

times at least, so widely separated
as In effect to be adverse.
Must Build Prosperity.
The primary consideration of the
oil industry during peacetime Is to
promote its own prosperity. This
has proved to be the case In the
past, and much as I have come to
appreciate the energy, the ability
and the patriotism of men in the oil
industry, I cannot conceive Of it
operating in times of peace except
for its own interest. I do not say
this disapprovingly.
There are questions of taxation
and questions of tariff and of prices
on which industry and Government
cannot see eye to eye. They could
not even during the war, but such
matters were put aside In order
that every energy might be devoted
to the winning of the war. More
over, the United States Government,
as the owner of vast discovered or
potential oil interests, both on land
and undersea, has a duty to the
whole people that cannot be served
If the oil interests are to tell the
Government what it should do.
And this is just what the oil in
terests will undertake to do. The
whole scheme is ill-advised and un-

realistic. Il simply will not work.
At It's organizing meeting, this Ma
tional Petroleum Council elected as
Its chairman the Republican ma
tional committeeman from West
Virginia. Mr.. Walter s. Hallanan.
He is well yersed in the oil business
and he has the right as citizen to
be active in the political party of
his choice.
Craxy-Quilt Appearance.
But just how this Petroleum
Council can ever present anything
but a crazy -quilt appearance is be-
|yond my comprehension. Here we
have a Government with vast and
difficult oil problems which the in
dustry council will naturally want
to see resolved to the advantage of
the industry. We also have coun-

up to operate in a Democratic ad-
mtnistration. Moreover, the work.

I wired that it would be pleasure
I read the Apartments anc
Houses to Rent" section of the paper
and figured it would be no trouble
at all. Lots of attractive places were
listed.
Didn't Like Children.
Then I started making the rounds
The first landlord I called on was
as nice as he could be--up to GER
tain point. He changed his sweet
tune when I mentioned that my
friends had a 6-year-old boy. ~
"A boy" he cried, as if I had told
him. the couple kept an elephant
for a pet. "a boy" Eyes, a boy,
I said, a trifie surprised that man
who had lived as long as he hao
was unaware that married folk oc-
casionally had a boy.
Il won't have a boy in my place.
he said. mo, sir. Why didn't you
tell me about the boy in the first
place and then I wouldn't have had
to go to all the trouble of showing
you the place. Good morning."
Undismayed, visited another ad-
dress. I figured that this man was
a misanthrope, an exception to the
rules fellow. But landlord No. z
made landlord No. / seem a Jewel
by comparison. I am not lying when
I tell you that landlord No. 2's first
question was how my friend and his
wife got along.
DO they love one another?" he
asked. "Are they quiet and peace
full? I don't want any couple living
here with me Git was a duplex who
fight and argue"
They get along about like all
other married people," I said.
Then I don't want them" he
said. Tell your friend that I'll be
glad to rent the apartment to him
if he will leave his wife in Mime
sofa, but won't let the two of them
have it,"
1t Was No Joke.
He was dead on the level, too. He
wasn't joking.
I read another advertisement

1t was really a nice place. OF
course. the bus came a little toe
close to the door, all but crossing
the front porch when it passed
And it was cool only if the inhabi-
tants walked around in nothing but
hats all day.
Landlord No. 3 wanted to know
If the couple entertained at night
What I mean is, do they have
guests in?"
I told him that while they weren't
great entertainers, they often had
friends in for cocktails and dinner
NOISY people, eh?" he said.
No, not noisy at all, I explained
just average citizens. He didn't
want them. He didn't want any
tenants who had a radio, stayed uE
more than an hour after sundown
and came home late from q first
showing of a movie.
The fourth apartment I visited
had everything but bathroom.
asked the landlord about this minor
deficiency, and he said he hac
nothing to do with that-that the
tenants could figure that out fol
themselves.
I still have to find a place for my
friends to live. I am convinced thai
what the average landlord want!
