Vice-President Wallace Proves Capable; In Line For Another Big Posmon (conunueu from Page One) another job—a big one—toordina- tor of the new defense-agency-to- be, the Bureau of Economic War- fare. If it should be a compromise selection, because tifebe’s a big in- side scrap going on between Com- merce, the State and Treasury de- partments as to Who the economic warfare chief should be. All the other men proposed are good men, but the Administration considets Wallace an ace ecohomist, as full of ideas as an ear of his best corn is full of kerntls. It ight not happen, but the consideration at Jeast shows how the guiet, “color- less” Vice -President is acquitting himself in his new post. W. L., Easton, Pa—The United States turns out 46 percent of the | world's steel. Only about 25 percer.t‘ of the country's Steel output goes for other than civilian purposes, s0 | any shortage will have to be made | up by curtailing civilian consump- tion. N. F., Alexandria, Va.—So far as | 1 can learn, you are right. Wash- ington’s new trueking terminal (out | on New York Avenue) is the first “truck drivers’ country club” in the country. Its air-conditioned | dormitories and club and game rooms, its tiled showers, first aid, station (with a registered nurse constantly in attendance), barber shop and nifty restaurant where you can get anything from a ham- burger-on-a-bun and a coke to a T-bone steak and pie a la mode, are first in the land for the boys who keep-'em-rolling or motor of- ficials here just don't know what | they are talking about. i T. F., Long Beach, Long ldnnll —Washington’s Traffic Director | Wwilliam A. Van Duzer (he's the| No. 1 target for complaints from | every front-seat driver in the cap- jtal) says staggering hours here (ordering federal workers on the job jn half-hour intervals from 3 to 9:30 in the morning) has cut| peak tratfic loads 15 percent. Mr. Van Duzer gets his statistics from transportation companies and those little gadgets that count cars when . you run over a rubber hose so 1| wouldn’t argue with him. All T say | is—and folks I have talked with agree—that 1 can’t notice it. But| Washington traffic being what it is: you can take 15 percent out of it and it's still bedlam. F. A, Topekn, Kas. — You must have heard a wrong version of the William S. Knudsen World War story. The way he tells it on him- self is that he was driving his car on a “gasless” Sunday, a practice | he had beeh in the habit of, when someone shouted “slacker” and peppered him _with over-ripe fruit and vegetables. He didn’t have time to explain then, miles to go to WOk, Hie was work- | ing seven days a Q\f&-nnd his job was production the Ford plant that was tUFhing out mosqui- to boats for the government. C. S. M., Alameda, Cal—No fig- ures are available on the number of army air officers who have re- signed to go to China as “instruc- tors,” but the Washington rumor is that the number is considerable. I have heard from what should be authentic sources, considering that they are government observers whu have been on the ground, that Chi- | nese combat aviators now are among the world’s worst; but that given equipment and just a little training, their country. should pro- vide exoellent de!enu in the air.

It was in the form of a supplementary regulation signed by Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior. As originally scheduled, fishing lin the district would have closed at 6 pm. on August 15, The short- ening of the season by three days was due to the unexpected poor run | jof fish in the district, it was stated. | Orders from Juneau went out| last night to Mark Logan, Fishery | Management Agent in charge of {the Alaska Peninsula district, ac- cording to J. Steele Culbertson, As- | sistant Fisheries Management Sup- ervisor, here. Logan, in turn, was | instructed to notify canners of tae curtailment of their fishing sea- son.
