As nearly, as I can find out from those who are in a_ position to iow, there is mostly political chatter. There is no doubt that tBere is a lot of waste motion ong federal employes. The em- i jaa themselves have complain- ed of it. There’s no doubt that the tidal wave of criticism will have some beneficial results. But the opinion now is that it’s mostly sound and fury. Here's why: The President fired the first gun that gave the cue to Administration followers when he said that out of something under 3,000,000 federal employes, 1,600, 000 were doing actual war work, “These,” he said, “ ers in navy yard: age depots, milit irfields, and other operating centers.” see Some dubious persons thought the President had been given the wrong figures. They asked Elmer Davis, Office of War Information director, to make a report. He did. At that mgment-there were 2,687,- 093 persehs on the federal pa | ment. | For example, Harry B. Mitchell, | president of the Civil | creased work of his department, ! | said: “During the six manths end-{ | ing January, 1941, the commission | tfound about 200,000 persons for} | the war and navy departments; ' and during the last six months of | | 1942, we made slightly over a mil-; j lion replacements in these depart-; ; ments. That does not mean a mil-| !lion new jobs as the turnover in! | these days iselarge.” see j In the second place, civil ser- vice employes have givén such an; punt of themselves in all major crises that any criticism of them | would be snowed under.

To Business Firms rae The Fictitious Name Law passed by the 1941 Legislature, sets forth various provisions, such as cegistration with the county clerk, and advertising the personnel of those comprising the business con- cern or firm. The law as passed provides: 1. All persons operating unincorporated busi- ness or professions under any name but their own proper or known called names, must register this “fictitious” trade name with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the principal place of busi- ness is located. _ 2. A fee of $1.00 is charged for this registra tion. 8. Furthermore, the names of all persons in- terested, and the extent to which they are interested must be registered as well. 4. Penalty for non-compliance denies any un- registered business and those interested in doing such business the right to defend or maintain suit in any court in this state, either as plaintiff or defendant, and it further provides that any person violating this é i{| law regarding registration is liable to having an in- The German account of the in- |) formation charging a misdemeanor filed against him vasion of Poland is another gem} by any person aggrieved by the fictitious name, and You see with your own eyes how on conviction of such charge shall be liable to a fine the noble Germans, after heroic Solin patience with the big bad Po! of $25.00 or 60 days in jail, or both. who kept attacking them, finally || .5.
