WAFFLES AT NIGHT—GUESTS* DELIGHT!
(See Recipes Below)
OUT OF THE WAFFLE IRON
Waffle*! Um'ml Crisp and
browned to suit the taste—a queenly
dish, whether you’re a homemaker
who delights in calling in your
friends—a “home body” who caters
only to the family—or a lone eater
who simply likes nice foods.
It’s fun to make 'em . . . it's fun
to bake ’em. And waffle baking has
made so many homemakers—young
and old—waffle-party conscious, that
we’ve included in this week’s col

waffle parties.
So why not be a hostess who is
different! Invite the “gang” in for
a neighborhood
“waffle feed."

LYNN SAYS:
Care of the Waffle Iron. Most
modern electric waffle irons
should not be greased, but extra
richness must be put into the
waffle batter. This should be
poured on the pre-heated iron
from a pitcher or with a large
spoon.
With continued use, the cook
ing surface is apt to become
brown, and it is a mistake to re
move this unless it becomes
burned or too thick. During the
occasional scourings, great care
must be taken not to get water
into the connection plug or heat
ing element. A damp cloth or a
soft brush should be used to free
the iron from excess batter or
crumbs.

By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
NEW YORK.—In the newspapers
and on the street there is more
and more talk of Donald M. Nelson
for the one-man head of the nation
al* . mm e al defense ef
Miracle-Man Sans fort A Wash.
Sleight-of-Hand, ington friend
in m m i informs this
Is Don M. Nelson writerthat
powerful New Dealers, as well as
important members of the opposi
tion are working to the above end.
There has been much favorable
comment on his showing in a recent
radio debate on prices. Processed
through several alphabetical scram
bles at Washington during the last
year, he has been appointed execu
tive director of the President’s new
Supply, Priorities and Allocations
board. There seems to be a growing
belief that if anybody can perform a
micracle, he can.
Mr. Nelson probably would
concede no more than a depre
catory wave of the hand to this
miracle business. Tall, bulky,
bespectacled, slow-moving, and
deliberate in speech, he would
resolve the bewildering compli
cations of plane and tank pro
duction in orderly and methodi
cal processes instead of sleight
of-hand. The former and never
the latter is his unfailing pro
cedure.
Mr. Nelson’s business career of
29 years has been given entirely to
Sears Roebuck & Co., of which firm
he became chairman of the execu
tive committee in 1939. He became
a defense aide at Washington a year
ago. He joined Sears Roebuck as a
chemical engineer, for which he had
been trained at the University of
Missouri. His friends have noted
that thus he would bring a technical
equipment to the job, as well as
long experience in organization and
co-ordination if he should be as
signed a one-man seat in the defense
wheel-house.
He’s slightly red headed but
isn’t that way temperamentally.
In this connection, he is an in
veterate pipe-smoker, the same
being the classical deterrent to
going off half-cocked. He was
shoved around considerably in
the more or less broken field of
the earlier defense drive, but
has shown a capacity to get on
with his workmates and is cred
ited with ability to clear log
jams and get things done. He
is 53 years old, a native of Han
nibal, Mo.
THE life of Artemus L. Gates has
been one continuous anti-climax.
From the day of his 90-yard run in
the Yale-Harvard game of 1917, he
A. L. Gates Long *]?.s

•Down-and-Down war ^ best
he could do was to become Yale’s
most decorated war hero. He didn’t
even become a bank president until
he was 33 and was probably near 30
before he gathered his first million.
And now he has dragged along to
46 before being named by the Presi
dent as assistant secretary of the
navy for air. His final slump from
that golden November afternoon of
24 years ago probably willjbe when
they make him president of the
new League of Nations, after the
war.
He entered Yale from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, his home town,
guessed right on our entering
the World war, joined an ap
prentice flying group and was
ready when the call came, vol
unteering in the naval air serv
ice. He was a tackle in the air,
as he had been on the ground,
dropping many German planes.
The British swarded him the
Distinguished Flying Cross, the
French the Croix de Guerre, and
his own country the Navy Con
gressional Medal of Honor. His
most sensational exploit was the
rescue of two British fliers
whose bomber had been downed
in the channel.
All this got passing mention in the
public prints, as did his appointment
to the presidency of the Liberty Na
tional bank, in New York, in 1929,
at the age of 33, but it was just a
whisper compared to the uproar
touched off by that 90-yard run.
At this writing Mr. Gates is presi
dent of the New York Trust com
pany.
Others engaged in Wall Street ac
tivities who are on the up-and-up at
Washington include Robert Lovett,
(he not so long ago served as one of
Mr. Gates' directors) who now has
a war department post correspond
ing with Mr. Gates’ new navy sec
retarial job; James C. Forrestal,
who is deep in production-manage
ment, and then there is Averill Har
riman, who is swing-man diplomat
in England and Russia.

WASHINGTON.—Adolf Hitler ap
parently is being deceived about
what the United States will do and
what it can do in this war, in al
most precisely the same way as the
German High Command was de
ceived about the same things in the
winter of 1916-17.
There are two main lines of de
ception then. There seem to be two
now.
Count Johann von Bernstoff, who
was Kaiser Wilhelm’s ambassa
dor to Washington during our pe
riod of neutrality, said to many
newspaper men, including this writ
er, that he was not worried about
the United States for two reasons.
1—The American people were not
in favor of going to war with Ger
many—they had demonstrated it in
many ways, including the re-elec
tion of Woodrow Wilson the preced
ing November on the "kept us out
of war” issue. No. 2—If this coun
try did become involved in the war,
it would be in such a panic to arm
itself that the supplies then keeping
the Allies going would be cut off,
or at least badly curtailed.
There was a point No. 3 as it de
veloped, but this Von Bernstorff did
not mention to newspaper men. But
Germany had a scheme for keeping
the United States very much occu
pied — with Mexico — if hostilities
developed.
The comparison at present is flab
bergasting, except that the order
is slightly reversed.
German activities have not suc
ceeded very well—so fat at least—
in Latin America. Quite the con
trary. Two of the 20 Latin Amer
ican republics which have always
liked the United States the least—
Argentina and Mexico—have been
cracking down on the Nazis.
But this time the obvious plan of
Berlin was to have the United States
so involved with Japan that our ef
forts to supply Britain would lag.
There are many evidences that
Nippon has read the handwriting on
the wall, and does not like to sac
rifice its paws for Berlin’s chest
nuts.
Be that as it may, experts here
do not believe that even war with
Japan would appreciably affect our
aid to Britain.
But, reverting to points one and
two, the German High Command
probably has been given a very ac
curate picture of American difficul
ties, particularly the opposition of
such a large fraction of our public
to a shooting war. However, it
would not be at all surprising if
Berlin has been deceived as to what
this really means, just as it was 24
years ago.
The Greer episode OUGHT to
wake up American opinion to the
fact that this country WILL be in
the war if it goes on long enough,
and it becomes apparent that our
participation is necessary to defeat
Hitler. It ought also to convince
the German High Command of the
same thing.

One-Man Control May Be
Given Donald Nelson
Most of the men in this country
who have proved managerial ability
agree with Bernard M. Baruch’s
criticism of SPAB, the new all-out
national defense board which has
absorbed OPM and OPACS, that it
is a “faltering step forward” and
that what is really needed is one
man control in the hands of the
right person, with real power to act
delegated to him by the President.
It is contended by many observ
ers that there cannot be another
shakeup. Those who hold this view
insist that the fact that Vice Presi
dent Henry A. Wallace heads this
one means that it must be perma
nent, that while changes in the per
sonnel UNDER Wallace can be
made, the President would not allow
Wallace to be discredited.
There is a good deal of what
might be called half-logic in this.
For instance how many people in
the country realize that William S.
Knudsen was regarded as rather a
flop in OPM? How many realize
that the really important develop
ment in SPAB’s creation was not
the new seven-man board, but the
fact that Don Nelson is now execu
tive director, holding the job, re
gardless of title.
The truth is the President was
anxious to save Knudsen’s face.
Where the observers seem to the
writer to be wrong is that no mat
ter what happens to SPAB it would
appear possible to shuffle again.
Nelson will be given a run, so to
speak. He will be handicapped by
his seven-man board, it is true, but
not so much as some observers
think. Baruch sensed this at once,
and, the day after he made his
devastating remark about a “falter
ing step forward” he added that
“Nelson may be the man.”

just pushed his victim “a little bit.”
“Now,” said the prosecutor, “for
the benefit of the jury, will you
please step down here and, with
me as a subject, illustrate just
what you mean by ‘a little bit’?”
The prisoner descended and the
spectators were astonished to see
him slap the lawyer in the face,
seize him bodily, lift him from the
floor and hurl him prostrate across
a table.
Turning to the jury, he explained
mildly, “Gentlemen, about one
