Blisters and Bureaucracies
THE editor has a sore finger. As
we sit and punch the type
writer keys, wc have a piece of
tape over of all things, believe
it or not a blister- a blister on
a knuckle joint and it hurts every
time the finger moves. We have
seven other fingers that do not
hurt and two perfectly good
thumbs, except for an old break
that gets to aching when the
weather changes, but for somi
unknown reason it seems it Is the
tore finger that has to do all the
work. We use all our fingers and
both thumbs as we type- not the
hunt and peck system but It Just
seems that fully ninely per cent
of the keys have to be punched
with that blistered finger. We
know that Isn't true- it just seems
that way. All our fingers and both
thumbs work In fairly good
harmony, making only an aver
age number of mistakes, and they
punch out , copy at a .ooislent
rate of speed. But as they tromp
mound over the keyboard, we are
lonscious of only one finger-- the
one with the blister.
It's strange how something like
a sore finger can start an entirely
unrelated train of thought, but, as
wc sit and listen to our radio and
ut the same time keep bumping
that small blistered portion of one
minor digit of our somewhat
bulky anatomy every time we
make a move, we are Impressed
by the comparison of the touchy
finger with the eondlllon ot gov
ernmental administration and (he
comment and criticism which sur
rounds it.
Goodness knows we've criticized
the administration frequently and
we expect to do a lot more of it.
We poured a strong antiseptic on
that blister, too, and sucked in
our breath when il smarted. It's
the sore finger lhal needs the
medicine and it's the inefficient,
muddling bureaucracy that needs
criticism.
But just as we have seven good
fingers and two thumbs that go
light along doing a job witlioul
uny conscious effort, there must
be seven agencies and a couple of
departments that are functioning
ably and efficiently, without pub
lie attention, for every one, w Inch,
like that sore finger, keeps gel
ling banged around and sending
shooting pains Ihi vugh the nation.
It seems thai every radio com
nienlafor and every author of
editorial comment Is voicing
criticism. Some people complain '
because Ihey nuisl read and listen j
to so much fault finding. Yet I
these critics are the doctors who;

and get it hack into harmony with
the rest of the Ixidy. It treatment
is needed, then treatment should
he given. Nearly all the best anil
septlcs stint;, hut Ihey have cura
tive properties.
1'rom the ureal volume ol criti
cism heard and read today, a per
son would lonn the impression!
that everything is w rutin with ourl
war effort. Such is not the case.
Jusl iis we arc conscious only tit
h
the painful Hiiroi'. our attention
Is focused on the Imiemr.
HKcncics and departments that
keep intruding their mismanage
nient, politics and hunlin into
the national endeavor, lint fur
each of these there are many
others that, without credit or at
claim, are functioning smouthly
(ind elficienlly, accomplishing
lilfihly satisfactory results with a
minimum of public notice.
Ullstcrs aren't overly palnlul.
even In the knuckle Joint. They

Is allowed to become established.
Proper treatment is a wise pie
caution. The same Is true with
these administrative bureaucra
cies (hat get filled with germs j
and microbes. Miiybc Ihey will
get over lliclr painful character
istics In time, but a little caustic
treatment may speed the process.
Cut while we are applying the
antiseptics to the aches and pains
or administrative blisters, we
should not forget that there are
plenty of other portions of the
national body that are going
along In a normal course and
that, after all, Hie harmony of
effort is creatine progress even
if we are conscious only of the
sore spots.

Concerning the
NORTHWEST
At Viewed at the
National Capital
By
John W. Kelly
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 1!).
- -Report comes to the national
capital that the food situation in
Washington and Oregon is no
Joke. It is said that 120 meal
shops in Portland have closed for
want of something to sell; the
deulers are unable to make pur
chases. A similar situation, but
not quile so severe, is reported in
tht! Puget sound area. There is no
prospect of improvement in the
situation until January or Febru
ary. Cheese, which many people use
us a substitute for meat, is to lie
rationed, although in October
there was such a surplus that ap
peals were made over Ihe radio
lor people to buy and eat more
cheese. Heretofore the northwest
has been self sufficient in cheese
production. Less cheese Is to be
made in order lo Increase the
amount of fluid milk, and for the
same reason the butlerfat content
In Ice cream has been ordered re
duced and production curtailed.
Meat sections, usually passed
by, are about all that many
butcher shops have on tlyir trays.
These are toiupie, hearts, brains,
sweetbreads, kidneys all good it
you like them. Butchers left in
such a plight are locking their
doors and heading for the ship
yards or oilier war industries, lo
resume business when they can
again obtain steaks, chops, roasts,
ham and bacon.
Shortages have penetrated the
bakeries. A number ol bake shops
have closed because of sugar
shortage I there are w arehouses
full of sugar in the United Stales),
and the ditticuliy in obtaining
shortening is af feeling eveiy
baker, some having only two or
111 rre (lays' supply. This has re
duced Ihe production of dougn
nuts and how long they w:ll be
or the market depends on sup
plies of grease and con feet loners'
sugar. After the holidays Ihe
randy makers will have their
I roubles.
Between the armed Unci's, lend
lease and speculators, canned
goods will be rare in about foilV
months. The small business man
will not be able to lind any. The
inventory control, to be put into
operation by war production
hoard, w ill not include groceries,
except where they are carried as
a sideline by. perhaps, depart
mi'nt stores and no relief can he
anticipated by the small dealer,
who had hoped lo see inventory
control compel big establishments
to w hack up with the "have-nots."
Censored Mail Scored
Tons of mail are sent lo Alaska,
largely airmail, by parents and
relatives of enlisted men and of
ficers holding that outpost. It
would appear that most, if not all
these letters arc being opened
and read by one ol several hun
died employes ol Hyrnn Price, di
rector of censorship, without au
thorilv of law. Senate and house
had approved a censorship bill
permitting opening of all mad
sent, from Ihe I'tuled Slates to its
possessions, but the first thing
congress knew was that Price's
crew were busy slitting envelopes,
reading letters anil making ex
cerpls and the senate recalled
the measure hclorc il could reach
Ihe president's desk. It is said
thai some ot the ofticcrs in Alas
ka protested at letters li'oni their
wives being oH'iied; certainly

In ail Alaska there is not one
Japanese. Such enemies as are in
that vicinity arc at Kiska and
oilier Aleutian islands, where no
mail from the United States is
distributed and where the Japs
apparently intend locating for the
duration. There are no military
secrets these Japanese could get
that they do not already have.
Hut the censorship, according to
Ihe commillce that is making the
investigation, apparently alms to
keep the troops in Alaska in Ig
norance of what is transpiring In
the United Slates. Censors have
scissored out news Items and
magazine articles in publications
destined for Alaska, and all with
out one lota of legal authority.
Alaskan censorship is so tight (It
works both ways) that very little
news of any sort comes out of the
territory.
Fate Of FSA In Doubt
Farm security administration is
listed as one of the agencies that
can be disposed of by the new con
gress through the simple process
of refusing to appropriate money.
Farm security !; operating in
both northwest states and ftjr
several years mere has been con'
troversy as 10 whether this activ
ity should he dropped. It assists
tenants lo buy farms, furnishes
them a cow, horse and various
implements and Is supposed to
watch over them like a mother

dozen counties in Washington

addition, FSA has a number of

Post-War Rehabilitation of Ravaged
Nations Constitutes Gigantic Task for
New York's Retring Governor Lehrman
By JACK STINNETT
WASHINGTON Gov. Herbert
H. Lehman has been handed one
of the war's toughest Jobs.
As director of foreign relief
and rehabilitation, he will be the
Herbert Hoover of World War II
but without depreciating the
splendid Job done by Mr. Hoover
a years ago, the task facing Gov
ernor Lehman is ten times that.
Hoover had to deal principally
wun ueigium, parts of France,
Russia and Italy and a few scat
tered small nations. Governor
Lehman will have to consider a
Dig chunk of the whole world.
There already have been stories
that When our suddIv lines in the
ooiomons jorced our troops to cut
10 iwo meager meals a dav. eon.
slstlng principally of canned
meat, we still were distributing
looa io nungry natives half
starved during Japanese occupa
lion.
When the full storv of North
Africa is told, it's likely that the
prospect of more and better food
win nave had more to do with
lapiiuiuuon oi ine French co
loniels and natives than all the
uarians and Girauds In the hnnlr
It Is considered here that Spain
and Portugal are staying neutral
strictly from hunger. And it's a
common saying that Italy will
trade unconditional surrender for
a nam sandwich.
Nations Already Starving.
From Greece to Norway, from
Brittany to Findland, the occu
pied and nazi-allied countries al
ready are starving.
Food, medicine, clothing and
even small arms have to be got
ten io our aines inside the lines,
as well as to those now neutral
who might be brought into the
ranks of United Nations.
That sets up Governor Leh
man in his new post as a sort of
superezar of economic warfare.
It means also that he will have
to fight one of the battles of the
century with the agencies and
men in charge of production and'
distribution of food, clothing, etc.,
in this country.
Think of It in the single ierms

Civilian Defense Plan of Combatting
Unexploded Bomb Menace Is Described
Editor's Note: Did it over oc
cur io you that In the event of an
air raid your home may survive
the raid with no damage whatso
ever, and that a day or two after
the enemy bombers have depart
ed, it may bo blown to bits?
That may happen. When it
does, the answer will be the un
exploded bomb, the UXB. In a
previous article wc told you about
the UXB and why it is the most
dangerous and devastating of
modern war's weapons. In this
article, one of a series authorized
by the U. S. office of civilian de
fense, for the ninth civilian de
fense region, we will tell you
about the organization working
to render these bombs impotent.
Unexploded bombs which have
come howling down out of the
skies during an air raid are not
found lying on the surface of the
ground.
Instead they will come crashing
through the roof's of homes,
factories, or buildings, tear
through the limbs of trees and
bury themselves from 15 to 60
feet deep in the ground.
Almost always they leave indi
cation ol their passage. It is these
indications, which if promptly re
ported, begin a series of coordina
ted and planned operations in
your defense. When your air raid
warden has reason to believe that
an UXB has fallen in his area, he
has been instructed to immedi
ately call the control center of
your civilian defense council. The
control center will dispatch a
bomb reconnaissance agent to
make a thorough investigation of
the scene and decide whether thf
hole through the roof, the living
room floor, basement or pave
ment was caused by the passage
of a bomb, or whether It was
caused by a chunk of concrete
blown from an actual nearby ex
plosion. Bomb reconnaissance agents
have been carefully chosen by
your civilian defense council and
given a special course of train
ing bv the U. S. army to prepare
them for their duties. If the bomb
reconnaissance agent decides that
an UXB does exist, he will in
struct the air raid wardens to re
move the residents from Ihe area
where the UXB has planted it-
elf. Thus you will be told thai
you must grab a suitcase of
clothes and move out of your
home, along with your family.
and your neighbors for a consid
erable area around the unexplod
ed bomb.
You will have to find residence
somew here else in the city. May
be you won't enjoy doubling up
wilh Aunt Minnie's family for a
week or ten days, but il will be a
lot better than silling on Ihe pro
vcrbial "keg of dynamite." that i
may go oil at any moment and
the nation to meat rationing,
whom is the new Director of
FRR going to "rob" tq, get the
supplies he must have, to do any
kind of Job at all? How Is he go
ing to do it without upsetting
firice control? Where is he going
o get the transportation to get
these supplies to the starving na
tion. These are a few of the primary
problems that will beset the good
governor of New York.
The slugging matches he will
have to indulge in with the
board of economic warfare, ag
riculture, price control, the
WPB, the maritime commission,
the armed forces, and half n
iozen other agencies, before he
can even call his task well begun
are ones that will call for greater
courage than any toller in ihe
Washington vineyard has yet had
to display.
Well Qualified For Job
Aside from the tact that he has
successfully steered New York
state through the "starvation"
era that followed the 1929 crash,
the quiet, retiring, hard-working
Governor Leham Is eminently
equipped for the Job of world re
lief and rehabilitation that has
been handed him.
Before he ever gave up his
mlllionsayear income to enter
public life, he was one of New
York City's outstanding philan
thropists, but one who shied from
any publicity about his benefici
encles. The list of the national
and international charity and re
lief boards on which he has .icrv-
ed is endless.
He is no straneer to the nroh.
lems of war either. Ho came out
of World War 1 a colonel and
served a stint as assistant secre
tary of war. In earlier years, he
was a textile manufacturer, no.
cial worker and labor mediator.
I no 64 year o d director of
FRR is one of the hardest work-
ers of any man in public life.
Ho rarely accepts social invita
tions and almost never enter
tains. With his wife (and Pril.
dent Roosevelt, for that matter)

vo'lion to the Job in hand.'
blow up you, your family and the
whole neighborhood. If you have
no place to go, your civilian de
fense council will ussist you in
finding quarters.
Auxiliary police will be sent to
the scene to rope off the area,
direct traffic from the evacuated
territory and to police the neigh
borhood so that your home pos
sessions will be protected while
you arc away. The control center
of your civilian defense council
will also notify the U. S. office of
civilian defense headquarters
nearest your city, which in turn
will call for the expert assistance
of the bomb disposal unit of the
western defense command and
fourth army.
At this point the U. S. armv will
take over and it w ill be the army's
juo io laao sucn measures as may
be necessary to remove . the
planted bomb. In case a number
of UXB have fallen, it may be a
wcck or more Dclore the army
can take care of the one which
has disrupted your life. But you
must slay away from your home
until you are notified by the
authorities that it is safe for you
to return.
Every citizen has a responsi
bility to perform in connection
not only with the UXB but with
all other instruments of war
which may fall during an air raid.
This responsibility will be out
lined in another article. If you
fail in your responsibility, in per

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
Manly strength Is much to
the forefront. Heroic seems
the expression of strength
you watch an American Indian
athlete, well stripped, with
billowy muscles, ponderous
chest, heavy shoulders ,a long
stick looped at the end and
two thongs across. In this
loop he catches up a ball. Then
swinging It he shoots the ball
ikyward as a released arrow,
uut of wight. We admire men
tal and spiritual power as
well, how accurately some
men think. They give much
to civilization. They build
spiritual resistance, their no,
spoken at the right moment
is positive. They never sur
render to evil. Cromwell's sol
diers refusing the enemy's
command to capitulate, ex
claimed "Surrender? Never. I
am a soldier of Cromwell."
The world needs characters In
critical times those who say
to enemies of His Kingdom:
"Surrender? Never. I am a
soldier of Jesus Christ." Fath
ers and mothers are anxious
for integrity of life and for
spiritual development of their
children. They want them to
be strong physically, and keen
mentally, and morally clean,
that they might take their
place in life when they are
men &nd) women. The success
of a child is a joy to the pa
rents. "I would be true, for there
are those that trust me.
I would be pure for there are
those who care.
I would be strong for there
is much to suffer.
I would be brave for there is
much to dare." Amen.
