Washington Lawyers Again
In Clover As Industrialists
Wake Up to Problems
3,000 additional. Tha govern
ment wouldn't like it
So this firm actually has hired
a lawyer to get it out of a
defense contract which would
quadruple its business. It would
rather hold the customers it has
had through the years.
These aren't Isolated cases.
They are just a couple of the
thousands of shocks that are
waking industry up to what
defense really means and sky
rocketing the capital law business.
By Jack Stinnett
Washington United States
business men finally have de
cided that we are In a national
emergency and that business-as-usual
is as dead as last week's
ticker tape.
I got it straight from the
Washington lawyers.
The Washington lawyers are
Tin a class by themselves. Their
business thrives in direct pro
portion to government activity
in private industry. When sail
ing is comparatively smooth in
the marts of trade, most Wash
ington lawyers are as idle as a
fisherman who forgot to bring
along the worms. But when the
laws of the land start dumping
apples out of the industrial cart
here and there, capital legal
lights have to weight their coat
tails. That's why seven or eight
months ago, when national de
fense began to boom; when the
army and navy were splitting
whereases in thousands of con
. tracts; when there came the
first rumble of priority talk
Washington lawyers peeled off
their coats, rolled up their
sleeves, and got ready for the
avalanche of business they felt
certain would strike within a
V few days or w;eeks at most.
Then what happened? Noth
Ing. The legal business jogged
along at its even pace.
Couldn't Understand
"We couldn't understand It,"
one of the legal fraternity ex
plained to me. "And as the
weeks became months and noth
ing happened, it grew all the
more puzzling.
"Here, industry was being
pulled up by the roots and
transplanted in new soil and
yet it seemed to be going
through this cataclysm without
a lawyer without even a rep
resentative in Washington."
But that was a month or six
weeks ago. Now, all is changed.
The avalanche arrived with
Washington's mid-summer heat
and the Washington lawyers
have dropped their fishing poles
and niblicks and come back to
work.
It Is thumbing through the
first few truckloads of cases that
their clients have dumped in
their laps that has brought the
conclusion that the cause of the
delay was simply that the Unit
ed States business men hadn't
waked up. They thought they
could expand without causing
dislocations. They thought they
could deal with priorities with
out disrupting business-as-usual.
Now, say the lawyers, they are
finding out.
A few of these cases engen
dered mostly by priorities are
Interesting and throw some light
on the situation.
There was the case of the
western contractor who got his
Biggest private contract in years.
It required thousands of feet of
lumber. He went to Seattle per
sonally to place his order. Sure,
the lumber company officials
told him. they would be glad
to have the order. They would
guarantee delivery in 490 days
y. . . in 1943! His lawyer's prob
lem? To get a waiver of prior
ities so the contractor can have
his order slipped into the batch
that are purely defense.
Wants None Of It
There was the small Pitts
burgh steel firm which for years
had been supplying steady cus
tomers with about 3,000 tons of
processed steel. The big com
pany from which it got the
unfinished steel aured it that
it could continue to have 3.000
tons a year. Then the little
processing company got a de
fense contract 10.000 tons a
year and a priority order for
that 10.000 tons. The small
rompany went back to the big
"company. Okay, its men were
told, you'll get 10,000 tons
but we can't let you have the

APPLEGATE YOUTH
GAIN PRIZES AT
COUNTY 4-1 FAIR
Big Applegate, Aug. 28.
(Spl) A number of blue rib
bons were brought home by
young people of the Applegate
valley exhibiting In the Jackson
county 4-H home economics fair
held at Medford last week.
All six girls of the Beaver
creek forestry club, led by Mrs.
Lee Port, took top honors, as
did five of the same girls in
clothing. These girls included
Rosella Offenbacher, Evelyn
Byrne, Lucille Culy, Ella Hard,
Lorraine and Eleanor Nichols.
Fritzie Offenbacher, member of
the lower Applegate camp cook
ery club, led by Mr. and Mrs.
Wallace Haskins, was a first
place winner, and Leonard Cor-
bin of the same club placed
second.
Members of the Ruch cloth
ing club, led by Mrs. Inez Mc
Donough, received third place
premiums. These exhibitors in
cluded Phyllis Meals, Marcella
King, Betty Johnston, and Lil
lian McDonough. The Danish
system of judging was used in
which all exhibits of first qual
ity received first premiums,
and all seconds and thirds re
ceived their respective honors.
Top notch winners are eligible
to exhibit at the state fair next
month. The Beaver clubs placed
fourth In the county.
urther 4-H activities were ,
under way here this week when
the lower Applegate camp cook
ery club enjoyed a few days'
outing at Perk's pasture, accom !
panied by Mr. and Mrs. Haskins. j
Besides frying pan biscuits and
such, the trip afforded fishing
and swimming in Squaw lake.
Outdoor sleeping was disrupted
by rain, however, on the first
night out, and the campers ac
cepted the hospitality of Fire
guard Zeizler stationed nearby.
Members of the club making
the trip Included Fritzie Offen
bacher, Silas Davis, Bobbie
Wallis, and Jack Ritchey.
Mrs. Jack Bonney also ac
companied the group, as did
Lorrenzo Harvey and Douglas
McKee, the latter a member of
the Beaver livestock club.
By Adelaide Ken
A. P. Feature Writer
New York UP) The daugh
ter of John Barrymore is one
person the Great Profile won't
overshadow.
Diana Barrymore is a dark
eyed, dark-haired, spirited girl
of 20 with the manner and
voice of a woman of 30. She
loves and respects the theater
with all her Barrymore heatt.
She already has appeared in two
Broadway plays, expects to ap
pear in another this fall, has
had several seasons In summer
stock, and says in the spring she
will join Hollywood's ranks.
Big Spender
Diana spends money like a
Barrymore; has a passion for
politics; hates cafe society; won't
discuss her love affairs; likes
dancing, people, tennis, horse
back riding and the middlewest.
Now, let Diana take the floor
that's what she did when I
walked into her dressing room
in the Riverdale theater in
White Plains, where she was
appearing in "Captain Jinks of
the Horse Marines," 40 years
after her famous aunt, Ethel
Barrymore, starred In the same
play.
Knows What She Wants
"My career? Oh, I know what
I want to do with that," she
said. "Part of the year on the
stage drama, rather than com
edy and six months of the year
in the movies. Some time I
want to do a musical show.
I have a sort of torch voice.
I can do tricks with it.
"Most of all, of course, I love
the stage. But I'd like to be In
the movies as a money-making
business. Money slips right out
of my pocket. I've made a lot
and there's nothing in the bank.
I don't know where It goes."
Diana has an unusual heri
tage. On her mother's side she
stems from a New York social
register family, on her father's
from the royal family of the
American theater. She lives in
New York with her mother
(Michael Strange, the writer),
who is now Mrs. Harrison
Tweed. A few years ago Diana
made her debut and played
around dizzily in cafe society.
Unprintable
"But you couldn't print what
I think of cafe society now,"
she said. "I haven't been inside
a night club for six months.
"I'd rather sit over a glass
of beer and discuss politics.
I'm crazy about It read book
and papers a lot, though I'd
really rather get my inform,
tion straight from people who)
know.
