Indispensable Boy
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The two important people on the staff of news paper are first the editor and then almost of equal importance the newspaperboy. So writes J B. Casady, Chairman of the Board of the International Crcula tion Managers Association, in calling attention to the recent Newspaperboy Day.
 A metropolitan daily newspaper is an immensely complex business It involves a manufacturing pro- cess, advertising business, bevy of commercial enterprises information service literary production galaxy of public services and various other things. And since it is not an enterprise in which any one department can proceed independently of the others the publication of newspaper perhaps requires more and a higher degree Incorporation than almost any industry you can name.
 The temptation, of course, is for one group or another-the reporters, the editorial writer's the ad men, the sports writers the coumnists, the depart ment heads the men in the mechanical trades-to suppose that they the most important cogs in the machine But there is lot in what this fellow Casady says. Theoretically, you could have one of the worlds greatest newspapers yet if it were neces- sary for people to go to the office Of publication m order to buy it. it's circulation would be pitfully small The Public Library contains treasure of information and entertainment yet the visitors to it daily can be numbered in the hundreds.
 Yet. it takes distribution to make newspaper an effective medium which leads us back to the news paperboy Ee plays an indispensable role in one of the greatest of public enterprises.

EDISON KNEW THE NAVY

The new Secretary had operated a big industrial firm, understood construction technicalities, and inn mediately got in the admirals' hair.
 By this time, FDR had diverted assgood many hundreds of millions from Public Works Administration funds to build warships. And, al- though Congress howled, this was probably good thing-in view of impending war. Certainly it would have been a good thing if the ad- lnirals had not insisted, on build ing so many battleships but had built few more escort vessels and anti-submarine craft.
 This was where Secretary Edison and the top Navy brass had their first big clash Edison went out to Pearl Harbor and dared to crit icize. He told the admirals that duty at Pearl Harbor did not mean spending all the time on the beach at Waikiki, and that the first thing they had to do was get their fuel oil tanks under9round, He re- minded them that Pearl Harbor might be attacked and these tanks naGe Deauiilul targets.
 Even more important, Edison told the admirals to clear off the sup erstructures of their battleships. The next war, he said, would be an air war and ships would have to fire straight up in the air, not broadside Therefore. they couldn't be in the position of firing at their own crows nests. The superstruc lures would have to come down.

the destroyers feared the center of gravity was too high and warn ed the admirals in advance. They even offered to submit the center of gravity test to Gibbs and Cox expert ship-design agents. But the admirals refused
 Secretary Edison also discovered that these errors were chiefly due to the fact that the Chief of Naval construction, Adm. William G. Du- bose, was at loggerheads with Adm Harold G. Bowen, the Chief of Naval Engineering So he shifted them both.

ToP-HEAvY DESTROYER

About this time, Edison also caught the admirals lousing up the new destroyers built with PWA funds. He found that out of 28 new destroyers. 20 were so top heavy that extra weight had to be added to the keels to keep them from turning turtle in the water. In addition, the deck plates on three destroyers buckled in only a moderately rolling sea" Further more, because the Navy still in- sisted on using rivets, millions of defective rivets had to be replaced
 Edison not only discovered these facts but also learned that three of the private shipyards building

EDISON BASED OUT

By this time the top brass who had been running the Navy De- pertinent in the past were really seething And they took their com- plaint to their best friend-Frank- lin D. Roosevelt, who, ever since he had been Assistant Secretary of the Navy, believed the admirals could do no wrong.
 So FDR called in Charley Edison, told him the Democratic Party needed a good man to run for Governor of New Jersey and that he, Edison, was just the man Furthermore, Roosevelt said Ire needed Republican in the Cabinet to further his bipartisan war pol icy.
 That was how Edison got out of the admirals' hair to become Governor of New Jersey, and how Frank Knox, former G. O. P. can- didate for Vice President, became Secretary of the Navy.

FRANK KNOX LIKED ADMIRALs

Frank Knox was an easygoing ex-newspaper publisher who loved the Navy, enjoyed the polish and precision of things nautical, but who also was dead serious about his contribution toward winning the war.
 At first Knox and the admirals got along Beautifully. The new Se- cretary didn't know too much about the Navy, let the admirals have free rein. But gradually, as Knox began to learn what it was all about, he began to realize that it was Franklin D. Roosevelt and the admirals who really ran things. Adm. Ernest King, then Chief of Naval Operations, did not hesitate to go over Knox's head to reverse his civilian chief.
 Finally, Knox found that wing ot | the Navy Department had been
 roped off, with Marine sentry at the door from which all civil
 ians, including himself, were bar
 red This was where all war ord
