I KAIL ITIPAK
Probably more than a hundred
thousand people saw Franklin
Roosevelt inaugurated for the third
time as our President. The weath
er was cold, but clear. Other thous
ands sat along the route of the
great parade wh$ch followed the
inaugural ceremonies. It was haid
that at least a million people were
in town for the big event. Ne
braska was well represented by
the hundreds of Nebraskans who
live and work here and those who
came particularly on account of
the inauguration. Many states
had their individual entertain
ments following the parade. A
score of state governors were here.
Each of them got military aide—
three cars for the parade and ten
tickets for the grandstand on Penn
sylvania Avenue and extra tickets
for the reception which was held
in the White House in the late af
ternoon.
Officers of various states have
been here discussing ways and
means of running state govern
ments. They attended the annual
convention of the Council of the
State Governments. Nebraska was
represented by State Senators,
Daniel Garber of Red Clood and
William A. Metzger of Cedar
Creek. The state representatives
expressed surprise that there is so
much more war talk here than in
Nebraska.
Among the Nebraskans at the in
auguration was Miss Zelda Wer
ner, now teaching school in Balti
more, Md. She formerly taught at
Grant school at Norfolk. Many of

her former pupils are now grown
people. She was accompanied by
her brother, Frank Werner, of
Alma, Nebr.
Governor Griswold notified the
Nebraska delegation that because
of too much official business at
home, he could not attend the in
auguration. Neither could Lieuten
ant Governor Johnson, whose moth
er was ill. Accordingly, the Ne
braska delegation did not have any
social function during the inaugur,
ation activities.
While members of the farm dis
trict were meeting together the
other day, word came of the sud
den death of Sam Masaingale, of
Oklahoma. He is the member who
is the author of the Farm
Cost of Production Bill which
has been backed by farm dis
trict members. He had planned
a conference on the bill in a few
days and had been working hard
with other members to get another
hearing on it. Other members will
carry on the fight from where
j Massingale left off.
Budget estimates have not al
lowed anything for farm forestry
and the Forest Service has been
told that this work may have to be
liquidated. For some time the
Shelterbelt Work has been going
on with WPA money. Members
and other witnesses will appear
before the sub-committee handling
the appropriations for agriculture
and will urge that these farm for
estry projects be carried on with
regular appropriations.
Fathers and mothers who ac
company their sons and daughters
here to help them find rooming and
boarding places, express surprise
at the cost of food and rooms. Most
of these young men and women
have Civil Service jobs. They are
not here long before they enter the
social swim and soon appear in
l cocktail rooms in tails and low
neck dresses. Their pay is around
$125.00 a month and at the end of
the month there is little left. Some
of them write home for extra
money in order to keep up with the
mad social race. There are many
of these young people, however,
who soon sense the social racket,
get rid of their finery and take ad
vantage of the many opportunities
to visit places of historic interest
and the means to further their edu
cation that abound here.
Questions oome to the Third Dis
trict office as to just how many
men we are to have under arms.
The answer to that is that the
Army expects to have 1,400,000
men in training by next summer,
perhaps in June. This will include
the regular Army, the National
Guard and the draftees. It is ex
clusive of the Navy and the U. S.
Marines.
For general tenseness of the
situation in Congress and in Wash,
ington, January. 1941, is much like
January, 1917. This Congress
starts off with the press, radio, and
movies given over to what may
happen to our country whether we
do or do not become embroiled in
the war.
The President’s “lease and loan”
proposal holds the center of the
stage at which testimony of cab
inet members and other strong
supporters have appeared. It has
been introdued in each house and
both are expected to report it out
favorably but in what form no
one knows. There will be a bat
tle and weeks may pass before it
is brought to a vote.
Attracting much less attention
for the present is our own program
for national defense. Placing su
preme powers of control in the
hands of Messrs. Knudsen and
Hillman has not as yet pushed pro
duction to the point desired and
progress confessedly is far too
slow.
Previous to the war, advocates
of great air-strength were ridi
culed by battleship proponents. It
was said naval vessels, equipped
with plane carriers, anti-aircraft
guns, etc., need not fear bombing

planes. For twenty years that
word-battle continued in Congress,'
with batsleships winning in the
appropriations bills. Mow comes
the Navy department, asking an
appropriation of $512,000,000 to
put new Armoured decks on the
I battleships and cruisers. It is ex
plained that it now has been demon
strated that additional protection
is necessary. About four years will
be required to recondition the ships
of the present Navy, and possibly
longer, as the yards are crowded
with new ships.
The cost of construction uriSer
the program seems to be increas
ing by a large percentage. Con
gress endeavored to prevent the
run-away expenditures of World
War days. It ptovided a fixed fee
for contractors instead of the “plus
10%” of cost profit allowed in that
ether time. It has appropriated
187 million dollars for the new
camps. Costs are carefully esti
mated for ea<?h camp, and they
were to be built within those esti
mates. Now' it is ascertained that
the actual costs will be more than
320 million, an increase of $133,
000,000 over the original estimates.
Blame for these increases are
passed from one authority to an
other. One camp estimated to cost
8 million dollars actually cost 18
million. It will be remembered
that a few years ago a Senate com
mittee investigated the prices and
profits of the1 munition and other
industries in the World War. It
found plenty but did not account
for the making of 25,000 extra war
profit millionaires. It unearthed
practices which should have sent
many millionaires to the peniten
tiaries—but didn’t.
There is a large group in Con
gress urging a special committee
with an ample member of assist
ants shall be appointed now to in
vestigate what is becoming of all
the money being spent for national
defense. This cost will far ex
ceed our expenditures for our Army
and Navy during the World War.
Notwithstanding overshadowing is
sues of foreign policies at present,
certainly Congress should take ac
tion to guard against the raids of
those who want to become war mil
lionaires.
Going Up
Unaccompanied by 21-gun sal
utes. dancing in the streets, or fam
ily dinners, the national debt last i
week quietly passed the 45 billion
dollar mark which has been re
garded by congress for the past
20 years as the astronomical fig
ure which the federal indebtedness
never could be permitted to exceed.
We note the fact only for the pur
pose of observing that before long
sentimentalists will be saying,
“Remember the good old days when
the government only owed 45 bil
lion.”—Hutchinson News .
