A. administrator for the District of Columbia told a House committee that there are no more skilled workers available from relief rolls. Private industry has taken them up. Citizens com plain that it is almost impossible to find available domestics. In spite of that, relief officals say that 18,000 people who are employ able are looking for a job in the Nation’s Capital every day. The President sent to Congress his message on national defense highways. He recommended that $125,000,000 be spent for this work around army and navy reservations also to widen strategic roads and strengthen bridges. Immediately the Roads Committee got busy and wrote a new bill which would make possible the expenditure of around four hundred million dollars for this purpose. The administration bill and the one written by the committee clash radically. It will be some days before a compromise bill is written. This new road legislation has nothing to do with regular Federal Aid road program in which states match federal funds. Many members listened to Jan Vallin, author of “Out of the Night,” when he testified before the Dies Committee. He was ac companied by two body-guards and his colorful testimony created a sensation. He told friends he want ed to stay in the United States and become a citizen. So do thous ands of other aliens who are al ready here and millions of others who live in other countries. Are we officially in the war. That question comes in many letters from home. The answer is that we will not be at war until Con gress so decided by passage of a war declaration. Officially we are not at war. Antiwar force* here have decid ed to fignt agatyst 4what they charge is {fr^afancla to maki* the- general .public feel that we might as well forget neutrality and to proceed on the basis that we are in the war. . Battle Lines are drawn u pbetween this force and another force of intervention ists. Most of the ant-war forces here have gone on record in support of everything the administration wants in order to build up a com plete defense of the entire Western Hemisphere. On that question there is little division here. Michael Edelstein, a new con gressman from New York, dropped dead as he stepped from the House chamber the other day just after he had answered to his name when the roll was called. He had just finished making a brief speech in which he stated that on the ques tion of war, the Jewish people in the United States are as much divided as other American citizens. Ever since he has been in the House, he has waged a war against in tolerance and against any move which would again bring race hat reds to America. In private talks with his colleagues this popular New York member felt that his mission was to fight against such dangers. He was highly patriotic and a gifted speaker. His sudden death was a shock to the entire House membership and as a mark of respect the House immediately adjourned over the day and the flags on the Capitol building and other boilings on Capital HM were lowered*to half mask. Sam Woods, the American com mercial attach in Berlin, writes that on April 22» he and his wife visited Prague, Bohemia. Food which was plentiful two years ago, is being rationed and is hard to get. Schools and private buildings have been taken over to house children from danger zones in the Rhineland. Hospitals are filled with wounded soldiers returning from the South. Woods hails from Mississippi and speaks both Ger man and Bohemian. “You folks back home can relize what it means to live in a country where every thing is rationed and it is even hard to get a ration card,” he writes.

FILL OF THIS NEW OIL 5 OTHER GOOD OILS OUTDISTANCED 74% TO 161% Impartial test in Death Valley Desert. 6 cars Destroyed to give you Economy data beyond any Quibbles. U. S. Patent No. 2,218,132 tells exactly what is new about the new Conoco motor oil named CONOCO m MOTOR OIL 6 quarts of this same new Conoco Nf* oil that you can buy today, lasted 13,398.8 miles in a stock coupe—under lock and under scrutiny every minute. 13,398 miles up and down Death Valley. Sand and sagebrush. Lowest land and highest extremes of heat in our U.S. A. 6 other well known oils got the same chance as new Conoco Nfti oil. 6 identi cal new cars were used. Tune-ups, tire pre ssures, speeds, and all other factors were the same for all—impartially. En gines were under lock. Qualified authori ties eyed everything. The test was simple and stern...Each car got its 5-quart fill of some one com peting oil and was run at a 57-mile speed, without added oil, till the engine smashed up. New Conoco Nth motor oil went 13,398 miles. Certified. Not another oil came within 5,683 miles of that and one was outlasted 8,268 miles by new Conoco N'ti oil. Certified. The reasons arc straight and simple... New, p itented Conoco motor oil contains Thialkc, e inhibitor, a new syn thetic ... man-m de by Conoco. Now a a in ’ ibition is something that re strains you—chct. ks you. And Thialkene inhibitor checks t le effect of poisons al ways formed in normal engine operation. Instead of "festering,” weakening, and passing out, this oil is scientifically pre pared to keep i s health, so that the engine can do the same—a good way to keep up the oil-level. OIL-PLATING, tOC !...Long the keystone of Conoco success, oil-plating comes from another Conoco synthetic . . . (U. S. Patent 1,944,941). Magnet-like action bonds oil-plating to engine parts, so it can’t all dr ain down—not even overnight. While you use Conoco N*b, this oil plating stays on guard against wear in advance! By oil-plating the engine and inhibiting the worst effect of oil pollu tion, one fill of new Conoco Nfb lasted 13,398 miles. Certified. You’ll not put your car through such a third-degree—any more than you keep starting in high gear just because you could. You’ll certainly never want to ex ceed the recommended distance between crankcase drains. But knowing that new Conoco oil lasted 74% to 161% longer than other oils tested, see how seldom you add a quart.
