sister -in-law, came into the store in 1901.
Max died in 1925 and Miss Johanna has
been the ''Battleship" ever since.
Lots of sailors want nice, well-fitting
uniform" she says 'CI clothes 60 on them
like sails" Incidentally, it's against regula-
tons to put shoulder pads in Navy uniforms.
"In the Navy" Miss Johanna says. you
must grow your own shoulder pads"
The bulletin board at "Battleship's" is
full of personal greetings sent from around
the world, with letters from seamen and
adnirals saying, I'm in Alaska - please
ship me two new blues" Sometimes they
write from far off: II will be in Brooklyn by
April first Please have new uniform ready
because I'm going to get married"
Battle for Bell -Dettoms
PART of Miss Johanna's job is to watch
for every official change in uniform. She
keeps whole drawer filled with plans and
specifications. She regards the proposed new
naval uniform with little sympathy, remem-
bering battle she fought with the WPB
in 1912 on behalf of sailors and their bell
bottomed trousers.
"Henceforth," the WPB had decreed,
trousers at the bottom shall not exceed
18 inches" This was aimed at civilians but
no exception was made for sailors. Eighteen
inches isn't even a doorbell- l-bottom, Miss
Johanna said. Most of her seamen were
used to 24-inch bottoms on their pants and
the saltier Beau Brummells wore 28's. Miss
Johanna wrote off at once to her good friend
Admiral King. He suggested that she come
to Washington, straighten things out with
the WPB herself. She flew at once to the
capital. After battling the Navy and the
WPB. she got what she wanted.
Today, Miss Johanna is nearly ready to
retire. A nephew, Emory, has returned
from the war Army - although his
middle name is ''Fleet'') and is about
ready to take over. Miss Johanna will take
up a grandmother's role with grandneph-
ews and nieces.
But should Admirals King or Nimitz call
at the store for more gold braid, she will
probably hasten down like battleship on
special mission.
81 love this business" she says. Its like
going around the world with the incest lot
of boys you could find"

Sailors Tailor
BY WILLIAM C.. WHITE

Around Brooklyn Navy Yard,
''Battleship Cohn" is as
famous as any ship in the
fleet. Here's the reason
Glands Street in Brooklyn leads to the
- Navy Yard. Along its grimy length is
every sort of store to attract sailors One,
with a new chromium front, stands out like
a nickel-plated tooth.
1t is the tailor shop of ''Battleship Max"
Cohn, an institution which an admiral once
called ''of the Navy if not in it." For SO
years sailors and officers have come here
for their uniforms, asked for "Battleship
Max" and felt at home.
"Battleship Max" confidante of simple
seamen and graying admirals, is Miss
Johanna Cohn. She has been with the store
for more than 40 years and has been sole
proprietor for the past 20. She looks like
pleasant and twinkling grandmother, but
most grandmothers don't handle Navy
slang as lightly as she does. Bills in johann
ma Cohn's store are ''chits'' and the
tailor shop next door is alongside"
And when she leaves the store at seven each
night to 60 to her pleasant apartment far
out in Brooklyn, she goes ashore"
There are many Navy supply stores on
Sands Street besides COINS, but none is
more personal. ALI day long, the Navy drops
in to trade gossip, inquire about friends,
borrow dollar or learn about promotions
by hearing who's ordered new uniforms.
She Knows the Rxass
ON THE East Coast the Navy knows
"Battleship Max" as cheerful, craving
little woman who is an expert on dressing
sailor and who counts admirals amongst
her friends. She has outhtted King, Nimitz,
Halsey and Spruance. She fitted many of
today's top Navy brass with their first
officers uniforms
In 1893 Max Cohn opened clothing
store right on the doorstep of the Navy
Yard. He was too broke to have anything
for window display, 50 he was glad to
have sailor paint battleship in soap on
the glass to hide the emptiness. People soon
began to call Max "BattlesMp Cohn," and
the name has stuck Miss Johanna, Max's

 However, the car stopped just where the road starts out from the yard, so Mabel, hurriedly grabbing youngster still egg less, ran after the car and point ed out the eggs so the youngster could get them.
 Some time ago Mabel pointed out that including the time ? women rushed into her office with a dummy and she ran for 8 glass of water for it, that she had been in the "Gairy" at least 3 times. She said she couldn't un- deistand why.

BOY SCOUT CAMP CLOSED OFFICIALLY

Boy scout camp was officially closed Thursday following a two week period of outing for the boys.
 At the Council Fire on Thursday night four sboys received their Tenderfoot badges. They were Ralph Bingham, Elmer Bonosky, John Hudert and David Bowman. Glen Mazen demonstrated first aid for drowning and Jerry Seid- enverg demonstrated first aid for a head injury.
 Boy Scout Leader, B. c. Baker, and Rev. Anable gave fine talks on the importance of scouting to the troop and their guests the Girl Scouts.
 The success of the outing, stated MT. Baker, is chiefly due to the fine leadership of Rev. Murlin Day who had charge of the camp as he had considerable experience in scouting.
 Girl Scout Leader, Mrs. Glen Muncy had charge of keeping the boys fed. This was her second season in that capacity, and she is popular with the young folks.
 Chuck Wheeler took all the prizes for fishing, having caught the most trout and greyling, the biggest and the smallest.
 The boys were returned home through the courtesy of Polet's Store.
 There still is considerable work to be done on the quonsets which will make a permanent camp for the Boy and Girl Scouts and any one wishing to help, should get in touch with MT. Baker, who would appreciate more assistance. oSSSSbbhJa ats

new AGENCY
FIXED FOR SALE
SURPLUS GOODS

L. 3. Choquette, manager of the
Helena agency of the Reconstruction
Finance corporation today announced
the transfer of all its surplus proper
ty activities to the War Assets corpo
ration effective as of the close of bust
ness January Is, 1916.
The War Assets corporation, sub
sidiary of the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, has been designated by
the surplus property administrator as
the disposal agency for all government
owned surplus consumer goods and
producers and capital goods. Lieut.
Gen. r. B. Gregory, army quartermas-
ter general, at the request of Presi-
dent Truman, has taken the office as
chairman of the board of directors of
the new corporation, which will be re-
sponsible for the sale of all such prop
erty declared surplus by the army,
navy and other government agencies.
1t is estimated that property the orig
inal cost of which was $4,000, 100000
will be declared surplus during the
fiscal year July 1945 through June
1916.
The War Assets corporation will
sell surplus property through regional
offices whose territories correspond
to those of the RFC loan agencies
which will furnish necessary facilities
and personnel. The address of the
regional office of War Assets corpora
tion serving the Helena territory is
Power Block, Helena, Montana.

the proponents of an MVA talking
point" End quote.
Much was said at the Missoula con-
vention about irrigation and reclama-
tion, but little about power and its
possibilities. On the irrigation angle
theer is something that always puz-
zles me about such a project set up
under the bureau of reclamation. I'm
der such an irrigation project the cost
or most of it is assessed to the land
to be paid back to the government
over a period of years. 1t seems un-
democratic to me that group of land
owners should bear this whole burden
of cost when such a project benefits
the whole community; city as well as
farm. This seems like the exploita-
ton of one group for the benefit of
another Under an MVA this cost
would be borne by the corporation and
repaid through the sale of cheap pow
er, which seems to me the most fair
and democratic method by far.
If merely attempting to set up an
MVA will cause jealous wrangling
agencies to attempt to work together
toward overall resource development
and the opponents to the institution to
adopt democratic principles what will
it mean to the people of the valley
when we have an MVA.

FARMERS TO
BE SAVED"
BY JUNE 80

CHICAGO. (NAC) - The National
Tax Equality Associations plans foI
Saving the American farmer from
Communism" were unfolded at the
convention of the National Association
of Silo Manufacturers in Chicago last
month.
Explaining their program, Vernon
q. Scott, general manager of NTEA,
said it's to be accomplished by fore
ing through congress a measure which
will define patronage refunds of CO.
operatives as profits"
Scott conceded that "it's all very
technical" and he was properly eau
tious in predicting the outcome. AS
it looked to him, however, the farmers
will probably be saved "by next
June 30," when congress will have
completed the expected revision of the
revenue laws.
Scott was the final speaker on the
two-day convention program and only
twenty-five persons remained to hear
him. He was optimistic about the
final results from the drive to bring
salvation to the farm folks and casual
ly mentioned names of congressional
big shots with the inference that
they're "in the bag" for NTEA.
There was a note of apology in his
voice when he explained why NTEA
is seeking to transform coop savings
of farmers, merchants and manufac-
turers into profits" by a special con-
gressional edit, tailored to order.
The sole reason for the drive, he
emphasized, with straight face, is
ito save the American farmer from
Communism" Justifying this action,
he pointed out that Nobody paid any
attention to Karl Marx"
r. Wayne Newton, manager of the
National Association of Co-operatives,
also addressed the silo makers on the
day prior to Scott's appearance. New
ton devoted a considerable portion of
his discussion to the court ruling in
the United Co-operatives case, which
the non-taXable nature of
made under terms of a con-
tract and which is applicable to any
business whether cooperative or not.
