Of Exports Office in
Talk on World Trade
By Donald B. HodIey

Commerce Secretary Sawyer
yesterday praised strongly the
work of his departments Office
of International Trade, which
has been criticized by some ex.
port groups.
The office, which must approve
all United States export ship
ments. cannot satisfy every one,
but 1t received an unadorned trib-
ute in the recent support from
both parties in Congress for the
extension of export controls for
another two years. said the Secre-
tary.
After his address, delivered be-
fore the World Trade Committee
luncheon of the Washington
Board of Trade in the Nationa
Press Club, the Secretary answer.
ed some of the criticism.
He admitted that export appli.
cations had piled up at the trade
office because Of the difficult
nature of it's work. He said he be-
lieves there are around 10000 ap-
plications pending; that they had
been reduced for time, but again
were increasing.
He said there was no truth to
the charge that there were left
wingers in the Office of Interna-
tional Trades who could allow
their political beliefs to influence
their decisions on individual ex-
port applications.
1T simply isn't So" he said. Il
should know. I make the decisions
| in my department"
! AT the time Mr.. Sawyer dis
charged William Remington from
the OFT when his loyalty was
questioned. the Secretary de-
clared that newspapers greatly
exaggerated Mr.. Remington's i'm
Iportance.
An elaborate brochure filled with
color pictures showing the work
of the Commerce Department and
praising the help given by Sec
retary Sawyer to American busi-
ness was distributed to all tables
at the luncheon and was explained
by Mr.. Sawyer at the start of
his address.
He said taxpayer who had
seen the brochure recently wrote
to him, criticizing it as a waste
OF public money. The brochure,
said the Secretary, was paid for
by private donations and was spon-
sored by the Dayton (Ohio) Cham
Der OF Commerce and the ma
tlonal Cash Register Co. group"
Thomas j. Groom, president of
the Bank of Commerce & Saw
ings and this years. president of
the Board of Trade, welcomed
luncheon guests and praised, the
activities of the boards World
Trade Committee, of which J. L.
! Oliver is chairman. Mr.. Oliver
presided.
Also seated at the speakers
table were Ambassador Vladimir
Popovic Of Yugoslavia and Ambas-
sador G. c. S. Corea of Ceylon,
both members of the trade board
and members of the committee.
In introducing Secretary Saw
yer, Mr.. Oliver said that, under
his guidance, the Department of
Commerce had regained a great
deal of prestige lost under his
predecessors. Under his leader
ship the department had grown
impressively, said Mr.. Oliver.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine lowmon

A great deal OF fatigue can
come from sitting at work. in
chairs which are too tall or too
deep for the individuals who use
them. Business firms and schools
are becoming aware Of this fact.
In days past the white collar
worker was easily recognized by
his stoop because he bent over
his work from a high backless
stool or an ill-fltting, old-fash-
ioned Office chair of sorts.
The Posture Research Institute.
an organization devoted to posture
and its effect on Office workers and
their production. reports that
workers seated in custom-f1tted
chairs are much less susceptible
to midafternoon fatigue. aching
back and feeling of f1dgetiness.
Poor posture not only endangers
the general health of the worker
but also his efficiency. These
chairs are fitted to the workers
height, weight and body contours.
While it is not practical for
companies to fit individual chairs
to every new employe. since they
do not know how long the en-
ploye will be in their service. they
could provide adjustable chairs.
Fatigue and poor posture are GER
tain to result when a worker sits
for hours in a chair which places
a strain on his physical self. It
seems to me 1t would be a good
investment in health and beauty
II Office workers were to have
their own individual chairs made
and take them with them from
job to job whenever they change.
It has long been known that
poorly fitted desks are responsible
for many Of the spinal curvatures
which seem to develop so often in
school children. The desks which
provide a writing surface on the
enlarged right arm Of the chair
certainly must lead to curves.
since the pupil leans to the right
constantly when in one Of them.
It would be well to apply these
principles to your home, too. Be
sure that your children have the
right sort Of chair at their desks
and that you sit in one which fits
you when you do your fancy work
or darning.

CORDS FOR CHIMES?

I have a set Of Chinese gongs

cords on two Of them were lost
and the string does not seem to
make them chime right. Does any
one know where I could get the
cords to go between the gongs or
chimes? I would be grateful.
In regard TO the lady. bride,

why the magazines did not show
pictures Of mirrors over mantels.
and were they not stylish? There
are many lovely homes with
mirrors over the mantels. I long
for one but I have something else.
