PAGE TEN BRAIN TRUST TDSTUDYWAR NOTES IN U. S. By PETER EDSOH WASHINGTON, S e p t . 8 Organization of what will prob ably become known as a "brain trust' for war" is now underway in Washington under the direc tion of Col. William J. Donovan of New York, better known as "Wild Bill of the Fighttn' 69th," but whose' official title lor the past few weeks has been co ordinator of information. , There was considerable ar tificial mystery built up when Colonel Donovan first was ap pointed by the president, but it was largely the creation 01 gos sips who wanted to make more of the Job than It really was. Consequently, the colonel has been trying to live down rumors that he was to be the Heinricb. Himmler of an American ges- tapo, the Goebbels of a U. S. propaganda agency, a chief cen sor, a 1 super-spy boss of the G-men and army and naval in telligence units, or even heed of grand strategy board which would outrank the army and navy general staff and tell every body where to head in. Any and all such rumors can be definitely labeled as the bunk. What the colonel will do is just what the title of his job Implies he , will coordinate Information. '.:, MILLIONS OF WORDS ' That, however, isn't as simple as it might sound. Pouring into Washington every day are some two to 10 million words of re ports from all kinds of places and people. J. Edgar Hoover's FBI has its dope. Army . and navy intelligence ' get reports from their foreign observers. State department gets diplomatic pouches. Consular agents report to the department of commerce. Secret service, customs, and coast guard report to treasury Immigration service reports to labor. The transcript of the fed eral communications commis sion's ' radio-listening-in 'service of -foreign broadcast runs to nearly a million words a day. Heretofore, the meat of all this has been poured directly on the president's desk. To say that it was confusing is too' mild. Its conflicts, incompleteness, - frag mentary suggestiveness and lack of evaluation have been enough to - drive anyone nuts. That's , where the coordinator's job will come in' trying to make order out of all the chaos. ' -, Doing a job of brain trusting on the war will be Donovan's division of analysis. It will be headed by James, Phinney Bax ter, - HI, president of . Williams college. Baxter, in addition to being an able administrator, is a historian. He has been a mem ber of the Naval War college staff for some years, and is the author of "The Introduction- of the Ironclad Warship." SCHOLARS GALORE - As chief, assistant to Presi dent Baxter will be Dr. Edward Meade Earle of Princeton's in stitute for advanced study, auth or of an Outline of Modern ' History," and a member. of the War college.-How large a staff Baxter and Earle will have to assemble for their task is some thing they themselves don't yet know, but-in . their work they will have specialized sections of historians, geographers, econo mists and miscellaneous profes sors recruited from the ablest scholars in the country. .Their experting will be supplemented by staff and field officers from various government departments whose information they will co ordinate. Backing all- up - will be a library of congress research staff under Prof. William Leon ard Langer of Harvard. Langer was a sergeant in the first gas regiment of the AEF." and saw action in the Argonne and at St. Mihiel. .-..-' ' Granting that the now-tamed Colonel Donovan's Fighting 69th protessors, or how many of them there may be, can coordinate all this information, it . is not the idea to boil , it down to a daily bulletin and then drop it on me president's desk. While the Donovan office will have no authority over the departments whose information it , coordin ates, it will be a Donovan func tion to "hunch" the various de partments on courses of strategic action they might follow, and follow fast. For instance, if the foreign broadcast monitoring service picks up advance infor mation of a new Japanese move to the south, as it did a month before the invasion of Indo . China, that is something the state , .and navy departments want to know about. . NAUGHTY PONY .. SISTERS, Ore; (P) Jess Edg Ington's saddle Is back with bis pony under it. !

Karl W, Onthank, dean of personnel administration at the university of Oregon, announces that $32,670 has been granted the university by the national youth administration to aid students during the 1941-42 school year. These funds will be paid out at the rate of $3630 per month to students whose grades are above the average and who need additional money, above what they get from home and from jobs, to enter and stay in the university.
