R.W. Fricke, Pastor
Chambers
The W. P. 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.

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. At Your Mile
age Merchant’s Conoco station today
change to your correct Summer grade of
popular-priced new Conoco oil.
