ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION TIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. a Newspapers, 1411 HOORAY! Maury Maverick, new chief of the Smaller War Plants Corporation, has. started a campaign which we | heartily applaud. One of the things he set out to do in his new job was to simplify. One of his first attempts is his current campaign against what he calls Gobbledygook, which is his way of defining the technical and 'round the block way in which most of the bureaucrats and their underhngs attempt to explain the regulations which they don't understand. The language which has been used seems to be peculiar to the Washington bureaucrats and poets who make their living by writing things that are puzzling. Recently, Maverick addressed an order to his fiock in the Smaller War Plants Corporation instructing them, under pain of fearful penalties, forthwith to abndon Gobbledygook and to write whatever they have to say in the English language. This order concluded with this grim warning: “ANYONE USING THE WORDS ‘ACTIVATION’ OR ‘IMPLEMENTATION' WILL BE SHOT.” Hashington Merry- Go-Round (Contmuea 0m Page One) guage here.

The following is offered as an example of Gob- bledygook : “The Office of Omnipotence authorizes the use of the statement: As of the present instant, and here- after and until revoked or amended by further order, illumination is declared requisite and mandatory.” Another way of .\&l\'ing “Let there be light.” \\ .t\(‘ll Thone Tires (Cincinnati Enquirer) When the OPA recently announced that some 22,000,000 tires would be manufactured from syn- thetic rubber during the current year many Americans were inclined to believe that the tire shortage was about to end. But when one stops to realize that this production will supply but one tire for each auto- mobile in the nation, the incfeasing seriousness of the situation becomes apparent. Private automobiles play a vital part in our economy. Without them the wheels of industry would be slowed to a point where war production would lag far behind minimum requirements. Streetcars, busses and other forms of transportation could not possibly carry all our workers to and from their essential jobs. Tires now on these automobiles are wearing thin. At the beginning of the war the majority of American cars were well tired. Driving restrictions, careful use and servicing of the rubber has done wonders in prolonging the useful life of our automobiles. But even essential miles eat away casings, and more and | more of them are wearing thin with every passing | week. The stock pile of tires and natural rubber ‘]filled the gap for months, but this source of supply is virtually exhausted. American industry has done wonders in devel- | oping the synthetie rubber program. It has, however, been a most difficult job. Not only was it necessary to build plants, but processes had to be perfected and supply sources had to be arranged. We now are preducing synthetic at a satisfactory rate, but it will be a long time before it can be turned out in quan- tity sufficient to meet our prewar standards. Anyone totals before the close of the present conflict is fooling | himself. In many ways it is more necessary now to pre- serve tires than it was a year ago. Prewar carca are growing scarce. They offer the best possible base for recapping if they have been carefully used and | serviced. Still, in spite of these facts, many drivers! are as wanton in fasting their precious casings as they were before our crude rubber supply was cut off by a relentless enemy. Continued checking of tires, switching of tires | from wheel to wheel, immediate repair of .cuts and breaks- all these and other service practices are absolutely essential today, just as they were in the | months immediately following Penrl Harbor. Rostow was in| Mr. Carvel found that nearly all Iness or the armed forces. THE DAILY ALASKA' EMPIRE — ' E HAPPY BiRTI'IDAY MAY 22 H. R.

He pointed out that military matters were so important in that area that no American am- bassador could work on a level with PBritish military commanders un- less he also had military rank. Therefore, Hurley, a major gen- exal, would be perfectly qualified if given the rank of permanent am- bassador to the Near East. He al- ready held the honorary rank of reving ambassador through a cable- gram from the President confirmed by letter from Ed Stettinius. ’ The President, who has been fond | of the ebullient Pat, already had a| good man, Jim Landis, in Cairo. He replied: ] “Pat, you want to be petted, all | the time. I've given you everything | you wanted. I've followed your pol- iey in the Near East. I sent you! te Iran and to Moscow and China,| and now you want to be an am- bassador.” “Without the rank of ambassa- d countered Hurley, “I wouldn't | have the chance of a cut cat on a| back fence.” In the end, the President, who| seemed to like Hurley's plan for U.| S. economic missions to the Near| Edst, sent it over to the State De-| partment. He asked Pat to talk about it further there. | BATTLE IN STATE DEPARTMENT In the State Department, Hur-- ley’s memo was carefully studied; with divided opinions. Amstanr.‘ Secretary Adolf Berle and Wallacc‘ Murray, political adviser on the ! Near East, were for it. But Sec-| retary Hull, Assistant Secretax'yi Dean Acheson, and Undersecretary Stettinius were against it. One report on the Hurley plan| deseribed it as “hysterical, Messianic | globoloney.” When the ex-Secre- tary of War heard about this, he was infuriated. Later, at a.cock- tail party, he bumped into Wallace Murray, who dropped the remark | that the official who described the plan as “hysterical, Messianic glo- boloney” was a young man named | Eugene Rostow in the division of | supply and resources. | Hurley then went to the State Department and demanded a show- down conference with Rostow andl Assistant Secretary Acheson. During this session, he lost his | temper and challenged Rostow to fight. | “Come out in the hall and repeal. what you said about my program,” | Hurley stormed. “If you were a; real man, you'd have a uniform on now. I'll bet you're one of these deferred diplomats.” » Acheson interceded abruptly. “General Hurley,” he said, “I'm not going to stand for that Kind of nm-“' | !in that district. “means nothing to me.
