National Defense Alibi
With the administration spon
soring a gigantic national defense
program, members of congress are
attempting (with more or less suc
cess) to have their pet measures
enacted on the theory that said
measures are vital to the defense
of the United States against ag
gressor nations. Bunk instances:
Proposal to build a tunnel under
Chesapeake Bay (it would cost
millions) would aid national de
fense; a canal across Florida,
leaving the lower end of that state
an island; a few million for grass
hopper control to save the forage
which is necessary in war; an in
terlocking network of power lines
from one end of the country to
the other; wider and heavier roads
which can stand up under the
pounding of mobile anti-aircraft ,
equipment and mobile big guns;
bonus for airplane manufacturers;
more and better landing fields
maintained by the federal govern
ment, and so forth and so on.
There is supposed to be magic in
the appeal “for national defense."

Approximately 92,000 govern-
ment workers have the jitters.
This is the estimated number of
men and women on the federal
payroll who are affected by Pres
ident Roosevelt’s “reorganization
plan, No. 1."
About 85,000 of
these employees are in the field,
which means that they are not
employed in Washington. D. C.
Thousands have civil service sta
tus, but that does not prevent
them from losing their jobs. It
does, however, give them a prior
ity if there is a chance to hook on
to another government position.
Government jobs sound imposing,
but the average pay is around
$1200 a year and an employe may
remain at that figure as long as
he or she continues in the service.
And, if you believe all you hear,
promotion is a matter of favorit
ism and not merit. A senatorial
committee recently was told that
a plain girl is generally passed
over for one who knows more
about cosmetics than dictation,
typing or filing. Of course, there
is political pull within the civil
service—always has been.

thought in mind when he goes to
the post against Belcastro.
Kennaston showed himself
much improved performer
Monday in presenting a new hold
which he named the "Gold Hill
swivel." It consists of taking th«1
opponent’s lower part of the fuce
in one brawny arm and locking it
with the other in the form of a
headlock, then swinging it for
dear life. It usually results In the
victim yelling "uncle" long and
loud.
