MILDRED LINDBERG,
Secretary.
Our cultural relations chiefs say
that young men and young women
who expects to work in Central
and South America countries
should learn Spanish. The Span
ish speaking American student
has the best chance for a job in our
Foreign Service now. College
students who would like to get
an exchange sehoolarship in South
America should learn Spanish
Applications for such sehoolarship
should go to the United States
Office of Education in Washington
Mail addressed to the Philip
pines will be returned to senders
because service has been suspend
ed. Many letters which have beer
sent from Nebraska to friends ir
the Philippines are now being re
turned by the postal authorities
with the following words printed
in red on the envelope, “returr
to sender service suspended.”
The Director of the Census in
forms this office that the generai
distribution of Census public
n i >■ __
at ions and other releases as prac
ticed in peace time, has been dis
continued. The Bureau had a list
of over 100,000 addresses to whom
publications have been sent. The
suspension will save paper.
Soldiers with live ammunition
and fixed bayonets guard the
House Office Buildings. Aftei
five o’clock in the afternoon, per
sons can get into these buildings
through only mam door entrances
and the soldiers usually call the
corporal of the guard to look over
identifications before entrance is
permitted. People with bundles
! or brief eases get closest scrutiny
Sugar is rationed in Washing
ton stores. Most storekeepers are
restricting sugar sales to their re
gular customers. Mrs. Oren Cope
land, wife of the Nebraska Con
gressman from the First District,
tried at five stores before she
could get a few pounds of sugar.
She was told “regular" customers
are served sugar first.
The twelve-and-a-half billion
dollar bill making appropriations
for national defense—mostly air
planes—required only about an
hour discussion in full committee
and was passed by the House in
a few hours time without a dis
senting vote. Most debate cent
ered around the importance of oui
program to outbunu uie worm in
airplanes ol' all kinds, especially
fighters and bombers. The pro
duction program is now getting
under way at a speed satisfactory
to recent critics 6f our plane pro
duction program.
The Roberts report on the Haw
aiian tragedy caused much con
cern here. The Truman Commit
tee continues its investigation of
our national defense program and
it is believed that many errors
are being corrected. In the House
the Naval Affairs Committee and
the Committtee on Military Affairs
are conducting investigations to
disclose weaknesses and mistakes
in the war production program.
Some good may come out of these
inquires but criticism here is mild
rather than severe. Profiteers can
expect to be met by a very stern
tax collector who will check the
report huge war profits of certain
individuals and firms.
There was considerable discus
sion in Washington when it was
reported that the Army had ord
ered 1,000 cuspidor mats. This
order, however, has been rescind
ed because rubber is badly needed
for our war effort. The rubber
I
cuspidor mats will not be pur-'*
chased. Eventually, Uncle Sam
will have to make a lot of syn
thetic rubber. Nebraska corn
fields may yet be called upon for j
this purpose as experts here say j
we can make a good rubber sub-,
stitute from our corn at a very low
price. Dr. Leo Christensen, the
University of Nebraska farm
chemurgy expert, who has been
in Washington, has gone back
home after conferring with thc|
Nebraska delegation and govern
ment officals regarding a Ne
braska synthetic rubber project.
Many delegates have been in
town attending the mid-winter
meeting of the Women’s Club.
Many of the speeches to which'
they listened were delivered by |
high government officals. The
keynote of the meeting was the “
place of the American women in
our war effort. Among the Neb
1 raska women attending were Mrs.
J. L. Vanderberg of Scribner. Mrs.
W. A. Hevner of Franklin, Mrs. C.
R. Caley of Springfield, and Mrs
M. S. McDufTee of Norfolk.
In the meeting with officals who,
have to do with priorities, it was
stated that wtien ,a full inventory
of tires and tubes has been made
in our country, the so-called “little
fellow” may get a few tires and
tubes but not enough to stay in
business. Some of these officials j
when asked to explain what the:
“little fellow” is going to do, say
that he must go into the repair
business. They admit the future j
is not so bright for little business!
in America.
