FACE SIXTEEN
Decisions Most Worrysome
Part of War Mobilizer Job;
Nip Peace Feelers Expected
By the Washington Staff i
Of the Associated Press
. WASHINGTON, April l(JPf-
When War Mobilizer James F.
Byrnes submitted his resignation
to President Roosevelt, ; he told
the president to illustrate how he
felt:
A South Carolina farmer hired
a man to dig postholes. The fel
low cleaned up the job in .jig
time, came back next day and
cleared stumps in record order.
The third day the farmer re
warded him with an easy job
sorting good and bad potatoes.
After about three hours the chap
fainted. Revived, he explained:
" "Oh, the job was easy enough
but those damn decisions just
mowed me down!"
- ?
Embarrassing: f Some U. S. cor
porations which wrote off their
European branch plants as war
losses in 1941 and got income tax
credit for them, have discovered
that their property is undamaged
after all. Unless congress takes
pity, these firms will have to pay
a lot more tax on "recovering"
the property than they saved by
"losing" it.
Dove Over Stockholm? Stock
holm rumor-factories will bear
watching now for Japanese peace
feelers. There's a growing colony
of Nipponese diplomats in the
Swedish capital who have chosen
to flee there instead of to Switz
erland from Hitler's crumbling
fortress.
Why the oriental striped-pants
boys are by-passing Switzerland
is not clear, but it may be be
cause Stockholm is nearer Rus
sia. ' Foreknowledge of Russia's re
cent denunciation of the Russo
Japanese neutrality pact was con
sidered here to have been a fac
tor in the resignation of the Koi
so cabinet in Tokyo. Early indi
cations were that its successor
might be the much-predicted
peace cabinet.
If things work out that way,
the Japanese at Stockholm might
have to carry the ball on two
big plays placating Russia and
engineering peace with ' the U. S
and Britain.
Battleship Re-established: The
aircraft carrier may be "queen of
the fleet," but this war will wind i
up with the battleship firmly re
established as the "king."
Naval men returning from the
Pacific are sold on the battleship,
not only as a potent destroyer of
enemy ships and a valuable aid
to landing operations, but as a
protector of the carriers.
Some of the most ardent admir
ers are airmen who, right after
Pearl Harbor, scoffed at the bat
tlewagons as obsolete.
Break for Yachtsmen: Small
boat owners may look forward to
operating with considerably more
freedom this summer.
Licensed skippers of small
craft n6 longer will have to file
information in advance about
contemplated movements in their
licensed areas. But they'll still
have to carry identification pa
pers and paint large wartime
identification numbers on hull
and topside.
Patrol to Go On: The wartime
system of harbor and inshore pa
trols within the three-mile limit
by coast guard reservists will be
continued through the summer.
Get In Early, Boys: Civil aero
nautics administration is advis
mg air-minded communities that
will be needing airports after the
war to buy up acreage now. CAA
warns that there will be a sharp
increase in 'demands for land,
principally for housing, and bid
ding will drive prices higher.
'
For the Flight Age: CAA tech
nicians have borrowed a helicop
ter irom the army's air technical
service command. They want to
become familiar with the rotor
wing devices so that they'll know
how to certify pilots.
