The W ashinqton Merry Co., Round
by DnGW PEARSON

Aboard The Friendship Train While the American people are working hard to save food and send it to Europe, significant thing is happening behind the scenes with the big whiskey distillers.
 They would throw conniption fits if they knew outsiders had found out about it, but they are quietly planning to send twenty field men out to soften up editors and sell them on ending the whiskey holi- day. The sales argument will be that President Truman double crossed the distillers, whereas, if anything, the big distillers did (and are doing) their best to double cross him.
 After attempting to soften up the newspapers, the big four of the dis tilling business plan to have a greased lightning bill introduced in Congress to call off the misguided" Truman's whiskey holiday. If suc- cessful, the distillers will then go back to using 8,500,O0O bushels of grain per month-as they did in October-or as much as they can get away with.
 This columnist has now obtained a copy of the hitherto confidential propaganda bulletin prepared by Licensed Beverage Industries and the Distilled Spirits Institute. It makes interesting to anyone who doesn't know what's what highly convincing reading. But it carefully conceals the fact that just before the whiskey holiday, distil- lers were using grain at the rate of 100,000,000 bushels year. Inciden- tally, this amount-100,0 ,000, 900 bush els-is just the amount we need to make up the deficit of grain to Europe.
 One interesting statement made in the distillers' confidential propa- ganda report is the amazing con- tenticn that:
 Processing grain by beverage distillers leaves 100 percent of the feeding value for beef, dairy cattle, swine and poultry"
 This is equivalent to saying that the distillers have learned the se- cret of making something from nothing-which they have not. When they make whiskey they use up entirely the most important single constituents of the grain the starch or carbohydrate, content. This represents about 65 percent of the grain.
 Actually, the only materials left over after distillation are the un- fermentable constituents of the or iginal grain-ash, fiber and pro tein. While this is fed to cattle and does help the protein content of cattle feed. It represents only 30 percent of the feeds value-not 100 percent as contended by the distil- lers
 This is only small part of the whiskey boys mumbo- jumbo pre- pared to make the unsuspecting public think that the whiskey holi- day should be revoked. Actually, the distillers have more than three years supply of whiskey on hand, and they are more prosperous than ever.
 It will be interesting to see if the

BY A. D. aithwa

Were it not so tragic, the edi-
torial comment on the city man
ager crisis that arose by Eichel-
bergers resignation would be
amusing. Not many weeks ago the
papers were screaming about out
side influences coming in to run
the city. But today is three weeks
hence and the issues are quite diff
ferent. Today the same journals
that warned against outsiders"
are telling US that it will probably
be necessary to go outside of Day
ton to find a man to take over
the most important job (presum-
ably) in the city administration!
Now, really! Do they take us to
be as supplemented as it would
seem they do? Well, we are not,
their impertinence nothwithstand-
ing. We know what they are up
to. How is it that today it is bad
for outsiders to come in and run
things, and tomorrow it is good?
Simply this: it's all according to
how you want things run. If peo-
pie from the inside want 10 change
things so that a larger majority
of the community can benefit ac-
cuse them Of being controlled by
outside people. But if it's a mat
ter of getting someone who can
be easily controlled, have no
qualms about going outside the
city to get him.
Trickery of this nature is of the
meanest and lowest Sort 1t will
be beneficial to keep it in mind,
so that next time an issue arises
you will be aware of the technique
reaction uses to influence and ca
jole people.

New Constitution

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone,
Nov. 10. (ANP)-Following the
steps already taken in the Gold
Coast and Nigeria, the British Co.
lonial secretary in a recent proc
lamation announced a new con-
stitution for this ancient and
loyal colony" in British West
Africa.
This new constitution, while
providing for Africans a greater
share of responsibility in their own
government, made no mention as
to how long it would run or gave
no specific date as to eventual
self government.
Great Britain acquired Sierra
Leone in 1889 following a pro-
'posal made in 1876 to make that
part Of Africa a settlement for
freed Negroes. More than 400
mostly from the Yoruba
tribe in southwestern Nigeria were
landed on the shore of st. Georges
Bay near here in 1889.
+, There will be in. the new legis-
lature meeting for the first time
early in the new year IA Africans
to a maximum of 10 Europeans.
These African unofficial members
will be made up of three elected
members from the colony repre-
senting the rural and urban areas,
nine Africans nominated by the
three protectorate assembly houses
in the north, southeast west of
the country, one African nomi-
mated members to be appointed
by the governoroto represent in
terests which could not otherwise
be adequately represented, and
one member nominated by the leg
islative council members of the
three assembly houses to repre-
sent African interests in COM
merce, shipping, mining and bank
ing.
The 10 European official mem
bers will consist of the governor
as chairman without a vote, with
seven ~ex-officio members, and two
other Europeans nominated by the
governor to represent European
interests also in commerce, ship
ping, mining and banking.

Business Facts

During the, recent worlds war
much emphasis was put upon the
value of time and it's effect upon
the value of time and it's effect
upon the ultimate outcome of an
operation, whether it was on the
battle front or on the home front.
In training the CT for combat
duty, the officers of their respec-
tive companies zealously impressed
upon all that life or death depend
ed upon whethe r or not the right
thing was done at the right time.
What was true in military opera
ton was also true in civilian op-
Grafton as those on the home front
worked f~everishly to urn out the
necessary implements Of war.
It was then more than ever that
the world especially America, real
lied the detriment in the pro-
crastination of time and as a re-
suit of their realization, planned
efforts were brought into being to
remedy the condition. The out
come Of such planning which re-
suited in an allied victory is now
history, yet the small business
man will do we'll to borrow this
now historical technic and use it
within the confines of his bust
ness.
Each week has only a limited
number of working hours. AS a
business man one must pay out
cash for what ever work is done
during these hours. In return he
may get a lot Of work done or just
a little. But a successful opera
ton in business required that all
jobs be done and done within the
limited time. To get all the jobs
done, the work must be planned.
Work can be divided into two
classes selling and labor. Selling,
is to use a plan term waiting on
customers" The more time made
available for selling the greater
the profit, and since nothing is
achieved until merchandise is sold,
selling time is profitable time. La
Dor means getting ready and
keeping ready to sell. To do this
it is necessary to formulate some
organized plan that will prevent
the spending of money for non
productive hours.
Man retailers are meeting this
challenge by putting down on pa
per the jobs to be done in their
respective businesses and analy-
zing them from the angle of ~
what jobs there are, (2) when
they should be done, (3) how to
do them. "a who in the business
