FORM LETTERS BY
U. S. GOVERNMENT
ARE GIVEN JOLT
By Jack Stinnett
Washington Occasionally, a
word dropped here has strange
repercussions. Because a Texas
reader had more than passing
interest in one of these columns.
there is a new way of doing 1' today's "It" stars, turns her
things in the office of Herbert! back on musicals to portray her
F r.ostnn assistant secretary oii" straiKiu luiuiauc rule in
the treasury.
It happened this way: In those
dayi when the Nazis were blitz
krieging France and the Red
Cross was bemoaning the fact
that money from its current
campaign was not readily avail
able, the Texan wrote the treas
ury department with a plan for
financing immediate Red Cross
aid.
The letter went Into Gaston's
office, where thousands of let
ters are received daily.
One of Gaston's assistants
read it and answered with one
of those form let.ers you
know, 202A something to the
effect that "Your suggestion has
been received and filed for con
sideration by the proper author
ity."
The Texan was a bit miffed
but did nothing about it until
he ran across one of these col
umns, in which the story oi
James F. Grady was told the
man who is slowly revolution
izing contact of government de
partments with the public by
teaching thousands of clerks
and assistants how to write
courteous and intelligent letters.
The Texan wrote Grady, stat
ing his case and saying that here
seemed to be a splendid exam
ple of how not to answer a cour
teous suggestion.
Grady, knowing Gaston per
sonally, telephoned him with
the idea of ribbing him. but
Gaston refused to rib. He In
sisted that Grady have a talk
with him.
The talk lasted a couple of
hours and as a result there s a
new set-up in Gaston's office.
Thinas aren't done there any
more as they used to be done
and the gentleman in Texas will
be haDDV to know that nobody
else will catch form 202A if he
writes in with a good suggest
ion. Editorial Cat Mourned
tM.nmrw Ala (U.R) The
office of Editor Grover C. Hall
of the Montgomery Advertiser
isn't the same anymore. ciara-
belle, his pet cat. died the other
day. Clarabelle for years was
used as his medium to express
philosophical thoughts. He re
fuses to replace her.
No Melons, Tomatoes
Boston U.R Frank Luongo,
31, has developed an intense
aversion for tomatoes and can
taloupe. He was hospitalized for
! a broken knee after he stumbled
Over a DOX OI cantaloupe wunc
carrying a basket of tomatoes on
his head.
House Gained.
Tucson, Ariz. U.PJ Just to
make sure of the boundaries of
some vacant property he owned,
Oscar G. Forman ordered a sur
vey made. The survey develop
ed that there was a house on
the property. Forman is asking
the courts to decide how it got
there and to whom it belongs.

of roses and that it takes more
than love to pay the rent. Cast
as her husband is John Shelton,
another talented newcomer to
films. Others in the cast include
Gene Lockhart. Grant Mitchell
and Henry Armetta.
' Jack Holt has the role of a
law officer with a heart as big
as his fists in "Fugitive From a
Prison Camp, which plays as
the companion feature with the
Lana Turner starring opus.
Marian Marsh and Robert Bar
rat have supporting roles with
Holt in his story of a sheriff
who tries to give young law
breakers a break at a risk that
is far greater than the reward
he gets from the young cul
prits. Plan Too Fast

Trucks in Recruiting
Kansas City, Mo. (U.R) The

with such popular tunes as
"Boogie Woogie Stomp" and
"Oh, Johnny" because, as Col.
Fred M. Logan explained, his of
fice has received no appropria
tion for the purchase of military
records.
Foster At 70
